Luo Qianyu was speechless. Being with this master and servant pair, she always found herself unconsciously becoming the one making the complaints.

But from this moment on, I'm going to become the absolute leading lady! I'll make Jiang Tang look at me with new eyes!

She wanted to make Jiang Tang lose to her, and then order him to do this and that to her... cough cough.

"Come play Taiko no Tatsujin: Freeze! There's a demon in front of you who shouts 'Freeze!' and when it shouts 'Don't move!', everyone has to stop pressing the buttons, or the demon will blow you back to where you were!"

"The first person to reach the finish line is the winner."

"Come on, let's try it out first, and then we'll play the round with the bonus!"

Luo Qianyu is quite inclined to fair competition when it comes to games. She even let the two of them familiarize themselves with the game first, rather than starting directly.

But clearly, if she goes straight for the win, she has a higher chance of winning.

The result of the first round of the "Red Light, Green Light" game was undoubtedly a victory for Luo Qianyu, as she was naturally more familiar with the game and the buttons on the controller.

Secondly, there's Shixue; the experience she gained from watching television wasn't entirely useless.

Finally, it was Jiang Tang's turn. He raised an eyebrow, seemingly incredulous at his defeat, while also showing a hint of interest in the game.

Luo Qianyu secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Damn it, why is this guy so handsome no matter what he does...?

It's so funny, my legs almost can't close...

To avoid Jiang Tang noticing anything amiss, Luo Qianyu quickly averted her gaze and spoke in a slightly hurried tone.

"The second game is about to begin!"

"This time, there will be rewards and punishments!"

160. I'm done playing, time to work.

"Three, two, one, freeze! Let's go!"

Luo Qianyu's energetic voice rang out in the living room, along with the "crunch" sound of Jiang Tang biting into a potato chip.

While the game was still in the preparation stage, he opened another bag of snacks, truly treating the place as if it were his own home.

He seems too casual and unserious; he was eating snacks while the game was running.

Luo Qianyu thought to herself that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would win this round easily. Thinking of this, a hint of smugness rose in Luo Qianyu's heart.

However, Shi Xue, who is fully focused, should not be underestimated.

In the depths of her mind, Luo Qianyu had already come to regard Shi Xue as her only rival. She even suspected that Jiang Tang was deliberately letting her and Shi Xue win so that she could watch the two of them compete for his affections.

If that's really the case... Oh no, this man is amazing! I like him!

But as soon as the game started, Luo Qianyu immediately realized...

I was wrong...

Moreover, it's completely wrong!

Actually, this game is also a test of hand speed. When the blue demon in front is chanting "One, two, three, freeze!", the player can press the button on the controller to move.

The faster you press, the more spaces you move. If you have superhuman hand speed, you can theoretically get several spaces ahead of others in an instant.

The only challenge lies in finding the optimal balance between radicalism and stability maintenance.

Because the speed at which the demon chants the slogans varies, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, and sometimes even turns back twice in a row, the unpredictable speed makes it easy for someone to lose all the advantages they have accumulated if they are not careful.

Luo Qianyu is the type to stay put; she won't take an extra step if she can avoid it, but she won't take any less either.

Jiangtang belongs to...

"Tap tap tap tap tap!" Fingers flew across the buttons at a speed that left others far behind.

This is a human machine gun!

The demon only turned its head once, and Jiang Tang predicted this turn with uncanny accuracy. Jiang Tang immediately let go and stopped. Then, when the demon went to count "One, two, three, freeze!" again, Jiang Tang started shouting "Da da da da da!" and won the game in one fell swoop!

They left Shi Xue and Luo Qianyu far behind.

The atmosphere at the scene froze instantly.

Jiang Tang casually flicked the handle.

"So easy."

He spoke his mind, shattering Luo Qianyu's confidence completely...

After a brief moment of stunned silence, Shi Xue reacted without surprise, and murmured her admiration.

"As expected of the master... If it were the master, he would definitely be able to get that 456 billion won!" (The prize money for the Squid Game, 456 billion Korean won)

"I don't want to participate in that kind of game."

Jiang Tang looks like he just searched for this TV series, which is about a group of people who participate in a life-or-death survival game for money.

Jiang Tang wouldn't do something like that for money.

In reality, there are so many precious people and things around him that he should cherish.

If he doesn't take good care of his life, he will definitely make them sad.

Furthermore, 456 billion sounds like a lot, but that's Korean won...

The value of the Korean won is not comparable to that of the Chinese yuan. Moreover, Jiang Tang suddenly thought that if he wanted the real 456 billion yuan, he wondered if Lilith would be willing to give it to him as her dowry.

That's quite an interesting association...

Meanwhile, when no one was watching, Shi Xue lowered her head and murmured with a smile.

"I don't want to participate either..."

Luo Qianyu seemed unable to recover from her defeat until Shi Xue waved her hand in front of her. Only then did she suddenly realize what had happened and accept the reality with a dejected expression.

She didn't want to accept it, but it was clear that Jiang Tang had been holding back from the beginning. In other words, he was practically setting a trap for himself and Shi Xue!

With Jiang Tang's reaction speed and a little focus, he could achieve the fastest victory in this simple game without missing a single mistake.

But he deliberately went easy on himself, losing to himself on his first attempt, making himself mistakenly believe it was a matter of proficiency.

Luo Qianyu assumed that since she was more familiar with the game, it was only natural that she would win the reward.

But now... it turns out she was completely wrong.

Sometimes, you really shouldn't try to compete with someone else's talent through hard work; you'll lose miserably!

"Second reward, here you go." Jiang Tang smiled and made a fist gesture in the air, every move exuding extraordinary handsomeness.

"...Let's try something else, like playing taiko drums!"

But Luo Qianyu still seemed unwilling to admit defeat, and immediately cheered up.

"Alright, I'll play along." Jiang Tang didn't seem to be in a hurry to redeem his reward, but who knew if he was just using it as a gimmick to play around with Luo Qianyu, or if he really planned to fulfill his promise behind the scenes.

Shixue looked at her teacher with sympathy.

Although she is a teacher, Luo Qianyu looks like an immature girl in every way.

Therefore, it is not unimaginable that one could be manipulated by their master.

Playing taiko requires two or four players, and clearly, Jiang Tang's side is still missing one person.

So Shi Xue simply withdrew in a very cooperative manner, because she saw that both Teacher Qian Yu and her master looked like they were determined to win.

The scene turned into a one-on-one match between the two.

"I'll let you have a turn first. Go through the tutorial first," Luo Qianyu said, crossing her arms to show that she didn't want to bully Jiang Tang, a newbie.

"Thank you so much!"

Jiang Tang's tone was gentle, making it impossible to tell whether he was genuinely thanking Luo Qianyu or mocking her.

Jiang Tang quickly finished the beginner's tutorial, which was quite simple. It just involved tapping the drum with both hands in rhythm and paying attention to the timing of striking it together.

The one-on-one match officially began. If Jiang Tang won this round, it would mean that he could make three demands of Luo Qianyu at will, and as long as they weren't too outrageous, the other party shouldn't be able to refuse them.

Luo Qianyu chose a particularly anime-style song. Judging from her subconscious humming of the song as soon as she chose it, this song must be very familiar to her and one she had already completed a long time ago.

In other words, she openly betrayed Jiang Tang.

This is practically the landlord dealing himself a hand of cards, two Kings and four twos face up! How could he possibly lose!

Even Luo Qianyu himself couldn't help but let out a laugh like a villainous demon king.

"Hehehe~"

In her willingness to use any means necessary to win, Ms. Chiyu is just like a child...

Shi Xue shook her head helplessly, but more than anything, she was worried about her master.

"Keep it up," she whispered to Jiang Tang, encouraging him.

The latter winked at Shixue, meaning, "Don't worry."

Then, Jiang Tang took a deep breath and entered a state of complete concentration.

This was an extremely tense match. As the music flowed, the two players each struck a drum, producing a series of drumbeats.

For Luo Qianyu, this was a song she had played a dozen or twenty times by herself, a song she could play without missing a single beat, so she was determined to win and almost never thought that Jiang Tang could win.

Not to mention that Jiang Tang was hearing this song for the first time.

But whether you can hit the drumbeats has nothing to do with whether you've heard the song before or how many times you've practiced it.

And it's related to musicality, not to mention absolute musicality.

Luo Qianyu gradually sensed that something was wrong.

It wasn't just because Jiang Tang, like himself, hadn't missed a single thing.

And it's because his score was even higher than his own!

Logically, this should be impossible, since both of them hit all the drumbeats.

However, hitting the drumbeat is actually graded as "good" or "acceptable." "Good" means hitting the drumbeat perfectly, while "acceptable" means hitting the drumbeat less than perfectly.

And every strike Jiang Tang made... was perfect!

In comparison, there are quite a few Luo Qianyus who could "slip in" to make up the numbers!

Moreover, when the drum was halfway through and the chorus was repeated, Jiang Tang even closed his eyes and relied solely on his ears to listen to the gradually familiar music to play the taiko drum. His hands, which were tightly gripping the handle, swung back and forth, and every swing was still a perfect "good"!
