I Help the Richest Man Spend Money to Prevent Disasters
chapter-386

“Hahaha, I also voted for Gu Ren and Ye Zhi. I was afraid that it would fail in the end, so I called on the people around me to vote for them together as well.”

“Perfect Partner, I only recognize Ye Zhi and the others, don’t argue with me on this.”

“I hope this show will never end; I can follow this for another hundred episodes.”

The last phase of the partner-pairings have been assembled.

After Gu Ren and Ye Zhi got the task card, the contents of the task was written on it.

“The challengers are going to throw basketballs in the field. One of the challengers will be driving, and after the car circles the basketball court, the other challenger shoots the ball.”

“A total of three laps, shooting three shots of basketball, altogether taking no more than three minutes would entitle a pass.”

Gu Ren and Ye Zhi looked at each other as they both felt that this task was difficult.

After each shot, one must run back in time and ensure that every shot was the best that could be mustered. This way, it would be easier to make sure that lesser people would exceed the time limit.

Timing issues and basketball-shooting accuracy were the keys to accomplishing this task.

Ye Zhi thought for a while and said, “You drive faster, so you’ll drive and I’ll shoot.”

“Every time I make a shot, I will run back quickly. And as soon as I get in the car, we get back to where we were and I’ll make the second shot.”

Her shooting skills were not bad, so there was a chance that she might be able to do it.

Gu Ren agreed.

He sat in the driver’s seat and Ye Zhi sat next to him. The two looked at each other and they saw the spirit of encouragement reflected in each other’s eyes.

The staff pressed the stopwatch and the three-minute countdown started.

From the moment the seconds changed figures, Gu Ren stepped on the accelerator abruptly. His hands were on the steering wheel as his black eyes stared straight ahead.

According to the rules, one must go around the basketball court first. At this moment, Gu Ren suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left as the car suddenly veered off and drove quickly to the left.

The program team also set up a lot of roadblocks on the road. Gu Ren’s facial expressions, though, remained as composed as usual. His cold and pale hands were on the steering wheel as he calmly steered through the obstacles.

The car drove fast, and soon, they completed a circle around the court. Gu Ren and Ye Zhi didn’t know how much time had passed, but they knew that they had to hurry.

After a while, the car stopped not far in front of the basketball hoop.

As soon as the car halted, Ye Zhi opened the door and ran down. She looked up at the hoop, threw the basketball up and the ball flew towards the direction of the net.

A few seconds later, the basketball went through the hoop.

Ye Zhi quickly returned to the car. The moment the door was closed, Gu Ren started the car at the same time and it drove forward. He tilted his head and his thin lips curled into a smile, “You did a good job.”

Ye Zhi smiled.

After Gu Ren and Ye Zhi circled the basketball court again, Ye Zhi returned to the basketball hoop and made a second shot. Basketball made it through again.

Ye Zhi managed to score all three times, but she was a little worried. Getting in and out of the car again and again, she wondered if the three-minute time limit was exceeded.

In the end, the staff showed the expression of regret on their faces, “You spent a total of 3 minutes and 12 seconds. Unfortunately, you failed the challenge.”
