Awakening the Daily Intelligence System-Chapter 850 - 366 Thriving online_2

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Wolf Head turned around and glared at Zhang Hao, then continued to ask Long Yun, "How confident are you now? There are six hours left until the show officially starts, so we still have time to adjust the plan." As the saying goes, specialization is key. Although Lieutenant General Wolf Head has keen observational skills, he knows he is not as adept in this area as Long Yun. He has always held professionals like Long Yun in high regard.

"No adjustments needed." Long Yun stared at the projector, her eyes firm and her tone calm, "The plan will proceed as usual. Even if Lin Mo is vigilant, there will always be a moment when he lets his guard down, and that’s when we’ll have our chance."

"Right, Director Long is absolutely right!" Zhang Hao quickly nodded in agreement, taking the opportunity to place the cup of water in his hand on the table, his face full of smiles, "It’s just Lin Mo, nothing too significant. Once the real plan is enacted, he will have no choice but to pack his bags and leave the show, destined to be eliminated."

Neither Lieutenant General Wolf Head nor Long Yun paid attention to Zhang Hao’s sycophancy, choosing silence instead.

However, other senior staff in the conference room, who were busy eating, couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene. Zhang Hao didn’t dare offend Long Yun and Lieutenant General Wolf Head, but he had no fear confronting his colleagues. He immediately glared back at them, and upon seeing this, the staff promptly shut their mouths. This scene vividly displayed Zhang Hao’s workplace image of bullying the weak while fearing the strong.

At the same time, not only were the staff in the conference room and viewers on the internet closely monitoring the contestants’ dormitory, but four heavyweight guest judges—Crime-solving Queen Jiang Jinsu, former National Security Advisor Di Renjie, Brain Champion of the Third Contest Xu Qiang, and former International SWAT Team Captain Pan Hongfeng—were also keeping a watchful eye on the show’s progress through livestreams, exchanging views in a chat group. Knowing parts of the production team’s plan in advance, their discussions were more professional and in-depth.

When host Bingbing left the contestants’ dormitory with the crew for the second time, the chat group became lively. Brain Champion Xu Qiang was the first to send a message: "@Di Renjie@Pan Hongfeng@Jiang Jinsu Hello seniors, I have a feeling that Lin Mo has already seen through the production team’s intentions. I don’t know if it’s just my illusion. I’d like to hear what you all think."

Soon, former International SWAT Team Captain Pan Hongfeng replied, "I have the same feeling. Moreover, it’s quite clear that the production team’s actions have not been smooth. These two deliveries of cold drinks have not lessened Lin Mo’s vigilance but rather made him more cautious."

Di Renjie quickly followed, "I think we need to prepare for Lin Mo lasting till tomorrow. @Jiang Jinsu, don’t just watch, join in the discussion; it’s beneficial for you to participate more."

After being mentioned twice, Jiang Jinsu finally sent a message: "I don’t think there’s too much to worry about; the person in charge of the reality segment is Long Yun. I asked her before, and she said she’s absolutely confident in eliminating Lin Mo."

As soon as the message was sent, Pan Hongfeng replied immediately, his words tinged with surprise, "Long Yun? It’s actually her...? The way those two contestants were eliminated before felt like her style. Since she said so, we can indeed be a bit more relieved. @Di Renjie Elder Di, what do you think?" Di Renjie replied, "@Jiang Jinsu you should have said this earlier! I’ve seen Xiao Yun’s abilities; she’s indeed impressive."

Upon hearing Long Yun’s name, the three guest judges seemed reassured, as if Lin Mo’s elimination were just a matter of time with her involved.

However, Xu Qiang seemed a bit lost. He had neither heard of Long Yun nor knew her past accomplishments. Despite the other judges’ confidence, Xu Qiang couldn’t shake an inexplicable sense of unease. This feeling was indescribable, like a mysterious sixth sense. It was this sharp sense of crisis that had helped him successfully defuse crises many times in the past.

"I hope my hunch is wrong this time. If Lin Mo really endures till tomorrow, he might become everyone’s formidable opponent," Xu Qiang thought to himself, then took a sip of coffee from the table, continuing to focus on watching the live replay and carefully analyzing all potential scenarios.

At the contestants’ dormitory, after Lin Mo and grade-schooler Kudo returned to their room, Kudo closed the windows and pulled the curtains, trying to block out external interference as the first step.

The continuous high temperature made him sweat all over, and the sticky feeling was very uncomfortable. Lin Mo wasn’t idle either; he meticulously examined every corner of the dormitory, not missing a single detail, carefully searching for any clues the production team might have left behind.

Though Lin Mo knew it was highly unlikely anyone would sneak into his room, and he had a general idea of the production team’s intentions, caution had become his habit, so not a single check was omitted. Lin Mo could distinctly sense that this night’s contest with the production team was vastly different from the confrontations in Di Renjie’s designed virtual escape pod. They were products of entirely different logics.

This realization made him understand there was another individual designing the reality segment tests, "It seems Perfect Escape has a more powerful think tank behind it. But that’s good; it makes the game more interesting." After checking all the details, Lin Mo sat down on the chair and picked up an obscure book to read. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Then, Kudo came over, concerned, "Mr. Clown, why don’t you go get some sleep first? You need rest more than I do." "No need." Lin Mo curtly refused and immersed himself in the world of the book, speaking no more. His unique makeup, despite prolonged acquaintance, still invoked a chill in others. Seeing he couldn’t persuade him, Kudo did not insist and soon fell asleep on the bed.

In another dormitory, after checking the room, An Xin collapsed on the bed, face full of exasperation, "Ah... I can’t take it anymore. Sister Ji, do you think the production team won’t come and bother us again?"

Sister Ji, equally exhausted, took a sip from a bottle of mineral water she had carefully checked, and said, "They probably won’t. It’s already past 2 AM. If they come again, we won’t get any sleep tonight."

Hearing this, An Xin showed an even more pained expression, "Oh no! We’ve never analyzed correctly before. Since you think they won’t come and I think they won’t come, they’re definitely coming again! I guess we shouldn’t sleep, as we can’t sleep peacefully anyway. I’m going for a shower—I’m drenched in sweat."

Sister Ji was stunned, not expecting such reverse reasoning. She suddenly had a peculiar feeling that it was similar to the saying, "Bet against the football game, have a villa by the sea." But she knew well that rest was essential, and the more the production team disrupted their routine, the more they needed to seize the opportunity to regain energy.

So, Sister Ji handed a bottle of water to An Xin, advising, "Don’t take a shower; just go back to sleep. Any sleep we can get is good. Who knows what will happen next."

An Xin drooped her face, looking dejected, "Any sleep we can get, really? Sister Ji, you make it sound like we’re about to be eliminated... I really regret not forming an alliance. That way, we could take turns keeping watch and not be so tired."

In the Perfect Escape contestants’ dormitory, An Xin seemed suddenly inspired, her eyes lighting up. She quickly turned to Sister Ji, eagerly suggesting, "Sister Ji, what if we form an alliance with the other contestants? If we do, we could take turns resting and all get some sleep. And we’re girls; they might agree to the alliance to take care of us."

Sister Ji slightly furrowed her brows, pondering for a moment before responding, "Form an alliance? But with which group? Sherlock Holmes, who is currently in first place, has already allied with Bao Zheng, and Kira Moon has clearly said she absolutely won’t form alliances with other contestants. Apart from them, who else can we approach? Should we go to Lin Mo?"
