Chapter 113: MVP! Well-Deserved!

Chapter 113: MVP! Well-Deserved!

The moment the broadcast sounded, the German team and the UK team standing at the finish line immediately began criticizing, unable to accept the situation.

"It's definitely a setup!"

"Why were all the easy point teams sent to surround and take down **Team China**?!"

"Who authorized this? Who ordered it?!"

"If those teams had targeted us, we would have scored too!"

"Exactly, this is blatant bias!"

"They’re deliberately trying to make them champions, aren’t they?!"

"..."

The German and UK teams took turns complaining, their faces filled with indignation.

A staff member walked over and quietly spoke a few words to them. They immediately fell silent.

When the **Vendetta Squad** reached the finish line, the teams from Germany and the UK immediately put on warm, welcoming smiles and enthusiastically went forward to greet them.

"Congratulations!"

"Winning the championship on your first attempt, you're really strong!"

"We narrowly avoided you several times. I'm glad we didn't engage; otherwise, we would have been eliminated!"

"Next time, let’s have a sparring match to get a feel for each other’s strength, okay?"

"..."

"Damn, these guys switch gears so fast?!"

"So what if they were easy point teams? If you're so awesome, why didn't you eliminate **Team China**? You could have won the championship too!"

"Hilarious! Who was it that kept listening to the broadcast and desperately ran towards the safe zone at the finish line, afraid that **Team China** would go on a rampage and take you out as well?!"

"Standing in the safe zone and then accusing others of foul play, you guys are really something."

"I can’t help but feel really excited. **Team China** is number one! This is the first time in the history of the Global Escape-Kill Competition! I'm really fired up right now!"

"What about Lu Yuanhang? Could he have been taken captive? So, was everything just now not a drill?"

"Dunno, we'll have to wait for the official announcement."

Thus, the **Vendetta Squad** stood in the champion position. Even with one member missing, their champion qualification was not revoked.

The helicopter of the Global Escape-Kill hovered overhead, and the sound of celebratory cannons echoed loudly through the jungle.

Drones continued to broadcast the grand event, and an internationally renowned host, holding a microphone, shouted excitedly:

"Congratulations to **Team China** on their achievement!"

"Congratulations to **Jian Li** for winning the Best MVP of the Escape-Kill!"

He walked up to **Jian Li** and handed the microphone over. "How do you feel right now?"

Jian Li cleared his throat, "I feel a bit undeserving, after all, all our members are strong."

"I just have one question."

The host smiled brightly, "Feel free to ask."

Jian Li blinked, "Is there really a big feast tonight?"

The host, "......"

Has living in the wild for two and a half days really messed you up?!

"Haha, Brother Li is so adorable for being obsessed with food! I really want to take him home and keep him all to myself!"

"Didn't Brother Xiao say that even if the production team didn't provide it, he would still treat us? He dotes on you so much!"

"MVP! Well-deserved! I think Brother Li is already used to this title, hence the calmness!"

"Is there going to be another season?! I'm so looking forward to it!"

"Dear viewers, dear netizens watching the live stream, this is where we wrap up today's broadcast," the host said, facing the camera, "We look forward to seeing you again in the next season!"

As the screen signal disappeared, Zhou Nan shook his head,

"Hmm, we really went all out with the ratings. It'll be hard for the teams coming next season to achieve steady growth."

Shi Huayi glanced at him, "Can you worry less? Do you really think you're in charge?"

"The helicopter is here, let's go, let's board it."

Luo Wudi sneered, "Why the hurry? Are you going up there to report in?"

"Hey, Sister Hong, why do you always say things I don't get?!" Yuan Feng's eyes darted away, "Plus, there are too many people on the plane. It's not the right place to report."

Jian Li looked over at them, his mouth curling into a smile, his eyes filled with a knowing wisdom.

The next second, he suddenly tensed up as someone blew a breath into his ear,

"I'm a good cook, come to my place and try my dishes someday."

"No, no, no," Jian Li quickly waved his hands, recalling the three aunts you mentioned, "Your family is too big. I'm socially anxious."

Overwhelming!

Huo Xiao's eyes crinkled, "I live alone in my city center apartment."

At these words, Jian Li hesitated.

Huo Xiao added more enticement, "Lobsters air-flown from Australia, prepared in many ways. Don't you want to try?"

"Send me the location." Jian Li said decisively.

Luo Wudi suddenly leaned in, "Is there alcohol?"

......

Behind the monitors, the director stood up, and the assistant holding a tablet came closer, "What do we tell the investors? How do we justify this?"

"Justify?" The director was puzzled for a moment, "Which condition wasn't fulfilled? The German team left of their own accord, what can I do about it?"

The assistant, "Tsk—"

"Director, why did you suddenly have so much backbone?!?"

The Director straightened up. "When have I ever not had backbone?!?"

The assistant was about to say something else, but the Director's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and couldn't help but smile as he walked to a secluded spot.

"Don't be so formal."

"It's an international collaboration, right?"

"We'll need your help again in the future."

"Alright, let's discuss it in detail when we meet."

When he returned after ending the call, the assistant narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms, and looked at him with a strange expression. "Director, this doesn't feel right!"

The Director's expression turned serious. "What doesn't feel right?!?"

The assistant stroked his chin, doing his best Sherlock Holmes impression. "I see..."

The Director gave him a sideways glance. "Don’t jump to stupid conclusions, finish up the work quickly, we're heading to the celebration banquet tonight, and bonuses will be handed out!"

"Got it!"

The assistant wasted no more words, turning to leave.

Upon arriving at the gathering site by helicopter, a bus was already waiting in the parking lot.

The four undercover agents all needed to use the restroom and went off in search of the facilities.

Standing in a safe corner, they pulled out their specialized communication devices.

Yuan Feng, holding a small communicator, pressed, "Boss, are we getting permanent positions this time?"

"What?! The mission hasn't been completely finished yet?!"

"Hasn't Lu Yuanhang been caught already?!"

"What?! He’s just a minor player?!?"

"The real mastermind behind Juyuanbao hasn’t shown up yet?"

"..."

After hanging up, he walked out, dejected, and bumped into the other three, who looked just as down.

Their eyes met, and for a moment, silence prevailed.

In that instant, they understood each other's helplessness.

And felt a bond of mutual respect.

"Hurry up, we’re going to have a grand feast," Jian Li's voice came from not too far away.

Luo Wudi perked up and shouted back, "Is there alcohol?"

There's nothing that can't be resolved with a few rounds of drinks!
