Rebirth 09: Starting from taking charge of Running Man on CCTV

Chapter 126 Taking Advantage of an Opportunity, Gold Coins Stolen.

The ten people each stood in front of a red and a yellow chair.

Deng glanced at the nameplate on the red chair and plopped down on it.

Stephen Chow walked to the red chair on the far right and sat down quietly.

Baby sat down next to Deng Chao, while Wang Baoqiang and Chen He sat on either side.

On the other side, Chow Yun-fat casually leaned back in the yellow chair and unfolded his folding fan with a snap.

Andy Lau, Li Chen, Zheng Kai, and Shen Teng took their seats in turn.

"it is good."

Chen Yang stood between two rows of chairs, holding a rule card in his hand.

"The five people in the red chairs—Deng Chao, Stephen Chow, Baby, Wang Baoqiang, and Chen He—are the red team."

He turned to the other side.

"The five in the yellow chairs—Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau, Li Chen, Zheng Kai, and Shen Teng—you are the Yellow Team."

Deng rubbed his hands together.

"Good, at least I'm not fighting alone anymore."

He turned to look at his teammates, his gaze lingering on Stephen Chow for a second.

The corners of her mouth turned up.

Chen He leaned closer and spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Chao, our team has Stephen Chow!"

Deng grabbed his head and pressed it down.

"Keep your voice down, don't let the other side hear you showing off."

Chow Yun-fat was fanning himself on the other side, watching them with a smile.

"Xiao Deng, don't be too happy yet."

He pointed to himself.

"The God of Gamblers is still here."

Chen Yang held up the rules card.

"The second game is 'Brainball Showdown'."

He pointed to the small goal in the center of the field.

"The rules are simple: the two teams switch sides and the winner is decided by penalty shootouts."

The entire room fell silent.

"The defense sends one goalkeeper per round. The goalkeeper wears a blindfold and headphones, so he can't see or hear anything."

He picked up the black eye mask from the table next to him and shook it.

"The attacking team has ten balls in total. You decide for yourselves how many balls to put into the goal each round."

Shen Teng narrowed his eyes.

Chen Yang continued.

"The goalkeeper will be blindfolded and guard the goal for one minute. After one minute, he/she will remove the headphones but not the blindfold."

"At this point, the goalkeeper has to make a judgment: Is there a ball in the goal?"

"If he thinks there's a ball, he blows the whistle. If he blows it correctly, all the balls in the goal are disallowed and become points for the defending team."

"If a goal is actually scored and the goalkeeper doesn't blow the whistle, then those goals are points for the attacking team."

He paused for a moment.

"but."

"If there's no ball in the goal, but the goalkeeper blows the whistle, the entire defending team returns one gold coin to our production team."

Deng Chao's expression changed.

"Punish everyone?"

"Yes, the defensive team has five players, and each of them submits one."

"Furthermore, the defense only has two whistle-blowing opportunities throughout the entire game. Once they've used them up, that's it."

He added the last sentence.

"In addition, the other four defenders must wear blindfolds to prevent them from giving signals to the goalkeeper."

The rules have been explained.

Shen Teng leaned back in his chair, arms crossed over his chest.

He spoke with a smile.

"Then the attacking team could deliberately not concede any ball, tricking the goalkeeper into blowing the whistle and wasting their attempts."

Chen Yang glanced at him.

He smiled and nodded.

"sure."

The expressions on everyone's faces changed.

Deng Chao suddenly sat up straight.

"Then isn't this...?"

Chen He added a sentence.

"Psychological warfare!"

"Pure psychological warfare! The goalkeeper had no idea how many balls the opposing team had conceded; he had to guess!"

Chow Yun-fat stopped using his folding fan.

He glanced at Shen Teng.

"Shen Teng's mind works pretty well."

Shen Teng smiled and waved his hand.

"Basic operations."

Chen Yang clapped his hands.

"I'll give you a few minutes to develop your tactics, then we'll begin. In the first round, the yellow team will attack first, and the red team will defend."

The two teams immediately dispersed.

The five members of the red team got together.

Deng Chao lowered his voice.

"I'll go first. I'll go and find out the first goalkeeper's tactics."

Chen He nodded.

"Brother Chao, the key is the timing of the whistle. We only have two chances, we can't waste them."

Wang Baoqiang scratched his head.

"Then how am I supposed to tell if there's a ball in the goal? I can't hear it or see it."

The baby bit her lip.

"You can only rely on your feelings, on your intuition."

Stephen Chow remained silent.

He sat in the chair with his hands in his pockets.

Deng Chao glanced at him.

"Mr. Stephen Chow, what are your thoughts?"

Stephen Chow paused for two seconds.

"Don't rush to blow it."

"...Okay, Mr. Stephen Chow, I got it."

On the other side, the Yellow Team.

Chow Yun-fat closed the folding fan and placed it on the table.

"Ten balls, distributed in five rounds. How should they be distributed?"

Andy Lau thought about it.

"In the first round of probing, send out three or four to see how the other side reacts."

Shen Teng leaned back in his chair, rubbing his chin with two fingers.

"I have an idea."

Chow Yun-fat looked at him.

"explain."

Shen Teng smiled.

That smile was wicked and sinister.

"Deng was the goalkeeper in the first round, right? He's a proud guy, so he definitely wanted to get off to a good start."

He paused for a moment.

"We'll put four balls in the way, but make as much noise as possible to distract him. Make him feel uncertain."

"Okay, let's try with four balls first."

Two minutes have passed.

"Red team, defense in position!"

Chen Yang's voice came through.

Deng stood up and walked to the goal.

The staff handed him a black eye mask.

Deng put on an eye mask and noise-canceling headphones.

The world fell silent instantly.

dark.

He stood with his arms outstretched in front of the small goal.

Like a blindfolded door god.

The other four members of the red team also put on blindfolds and sat on the chairs next to them.

"Timer begins!"

Chen Yang raised his hand.

The five members of the yellow team stood outside the five-meter line.

Chow Yun-fat made a gesture towards Shen Teng, showing four fingers.

Shen Teng nodded.

He picked up the first ball, gave it a gentle push, and the ball rolled into the goal.

There is no sound.

Deng Chao stood motionless in front of the goal.

Zheng Kai picked up the second ball, put a little force into it, and the ball rolled in, grazing Deng Chao's calf.

Deng Chao's leg trembled.

But he was wearing headphones and didn't hear anything.

Li Chen took the third ball and threw it directly into the box from Deng Chao's side.

The ball bounced off the goalpost.

Andy Lau followed up with the fourth ball, advancing from the other side.

All four balls were scored.

then.

Others threw balls at Deng, trying to distract him.

Shen Teng tilted his head and looked at Deng Chao.

Make sure you're wearing headphones and an eye mask.

Then he started walking.

Extremely light, like a cat.

step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

He walked up to Deng Chao.

The program's cameraman, Lao Zhou, noticed something.

The camera subtly peered upwards.

Shen Teng bent down.

His gaze fell on the small black shoulder bag at Deng Chao's waist.

The zipper wasn't zipped up properly.

A sliver of golden light was revealed.

Chocolate coins.

Shen Teng reached out his hand.

With two fingers, I gripped the zipper pull with exceptional smoothness and gave it a gentle tug.

The zipper is open.

His hand reached inside.

My fingertip touched a chocolate coin.

Pinch it.

Pull it out.

The whole process took less than three seconds.

Silently.

The cameraman next to him was so embarrassed that his face turned red.

Shen Teng stuffed the gold coins into his pocket and took a step back.

I glanced at Deng's copy.

no response.
