Chapter 49.1

Seeing the wooden tracks fall apart plank by plank, not only was Tang Mianmian screaming, but everyone else couldn’t help but start as well.

“Ahhh!”

Once the wooden track under the roller coaster fell apart, wouldn’t both train and person fly out? Damn it! This was a full dozens of meters high fall! If they fell directly from this height, their souls could definitely reach heaven in an instant!

At this time, the roller coaster was still climbing, but no matter how the four people behind screamed, the two people sitting in the first row seemed to be unable to hear them at all. Not only did they not turn back, they even boldly let go of the hand bars once again and opened their arms excitedly, apparently intending to enjoy the weightlessness and excitement of the moment when the roller coaster swooped down.

Tang Mianmian’s face became more and more pale. He was so anxious that he was sweating all over. “What do we do? What do we do? We’re going to fucking die!”

Xiao Tangqiu also turned pale. If the average person found a broken seat belt on a roller coaster ride, he would’ve probably fainted. Tang Mianmian, a coward, was calm enough to persist until now. But as of this moment, he didn’t even know what to do. Originally, Tang Mianmian was planning to climb towards the guardrail as Xiao Tangqiu had suggested. Although it was dangerous, he had no choice but to risk it. But now, the wooden track was falling apart and the only way out was gone!

Was he supposed to sit here and watch Tang Mianmian die? Moreover, even if they only relied on the safety belt when the safety bar failed, their safety wasn’t guaranteed.

Seeing that the roller coaster was about to reach the first peak, Xiao Tangqiu was filled with worry. He really had no choice but to gnash his teeth and pull out his special skill.

“Sexy Streamer’s Live Stream Channel!”

As soon as Xiao Tangqiu opened the channel, a barrage of comments swept across like an avalanche, giving him a taste of the popularity he had back then. However, when he carefully looked at the contents of the comments, he was immediately depressed.

“I bet ten holy waters that the streamer will die!”

“I bet 20 cinnabars that the streamer will be able to hold out until the end this time!”

“Streamer you got this ahhhhh! I also bet that he will survive this!”

“The streamer’s face is too dark! Even if he survives this, perhaps he’ll die in the next one! “

......

What the hell were these people doing?! It was already at this point! Why were they still betting?!

Did anyone care about his life? If he really died, this channel would no longer exist. Let’s see where else they could go to watch such exciting scenes after this!

......What does “hope he will bring us more happiness” mean? Didn’t this imply that he hoped to see his bad luck persist?!

Xiao Tangqiu pursed his lips. Thankfully, the words “divine artifact” saved him from collapsing at once.

Divine artifact!

What divine artifact?

Forget it, no matter what divine artifact it was, as long as it is useful, it was a good artifact!

Xiao Tangqiu never expected that he would get a divine artifact this way. It was actually in his most critical moment! Was all his years of bad luck building up to this one moment? Could it be that his plug-in that didn’t work for so many years finally connected at this moment?

Xiao Tangqiu’s blood was surging and he was ready to take the artifact and go to war. Suddenly, he felt something in his hand.

He looked down excitedly and couldn’t wait to see what artifact he got. However, after seeing what he had in his hand, his heart suddenly grew cold, all that hot-bloodedness immediately cooled down.

A backscratcher.

Yes, a backscratcher; a yellow backscratcher.

One of those long, thin backscratchers used to scratch your back.

The point being, “Don’t Ask For Help”.

Tang Mianmian turned to see Xiao Tangqiu’s backscratcher with a face full of despair only to become even more desperate. “Qiuqiu! We’re already at this point! What are you doing with an old man scratcher? If you scratch a little before you die, does that make you happy with losing your life?”

Xiao Tangqiu, “......”

Fucking hell! What sort of nonsense artifact was this!

Never mind that it was a backscratcher! Why the hell did he have to call it a divine artifact?!

He felt that he had been tricked but soon realized that with his and Tang Mianmian’s luck, it was impossible to get any divine artifact at this critical point.

Tang Mianmian, who was beside him, was already frantically digging out his things. “Low-level exorcism talismans... Useless! Multifunctional Swiss Army knife... Useless! Canned food... Useless! Fuck Why didn’t we get something useful in the beginning? Even a parachute would be great!”

Xiao Tangqiu gave a bitter smile. How could they have anticipated this situation in advance? It was impossible to know for sure. Moreover, parachutes were generally not prepared for such things. After all, they were trying to escape a horror game, not live in the wilderness with Bear Grylls!

“Wuwuwu! If I die this time, my bank account password is...” Seeing Tang Mianmian’s empty stare as he gave up the struggle and began to give his last words, Xiao Tangqiu was like an ant in a hot pan.

At this time, the roller coaster finally reached the first slope. Like most roller coasters, it stopped slightly at the top of the slope, allowing the passengers to see the distance from where the were to the ground and the scenery below. The next moment, the roller coaster swooped downwards!

Right at this point, Tang Mianmian finally passed out, Xiao Tangqiu gritted his teeth and held onto Tang Mianmian who was like a boneless jellyfish.

As the roller coaster swooped down and the screams of the two people behind him sounded, he clung onto Tang Mianmian, whose safety belt was broken.

The safety bar was also useless. Xiao Tangqiu could only rely on his only safety belt to hold the both of them and prevent them from flying out. However, this was obviously pushing the limits. His safety belt was really flimsy, causing him and Tang Mianmian’s bodies to often leave their seats.

This moment seemed to pass very slowly. Xiao Tangqiu could even see the situation behind him out of the corner of his eye. The sporty student and the girl could only rely on their safety belts to hold their bodies, but they could still grab onto the guardrails on both sides of the roller coaster. The situation wasn’t as bad.

However, he was unable to grab the guardrail. If he let go, Tang Mianmian would fly out. Judging from their current wobbly situation, they would most likely fly out at the same time due to the broken safety belt, without him even letting go.

Fortunately, the slope wasn’t very high, and the dive soon ended. Tang Mianmian also regained consciousness.

When he saw that he wasn’t dead, he was excited. Then he saw Xiao Tangqiu cling to himself with a pale face and immediately reacted to what had just happened.

Xiao Tangqiu had no time to explain too much to Tang Mianmian because the roller coaster began to climb upwards again. And the next slope was higher and steeper. There was also a 360-degree turn. There was no way the seatbelt would hold the two of them. He could quickly instructed Tang Mianmian, “Hold me tight! I’ll grab the guardrail!”

If Tang Mianmian held the guardrail with both hands at the same time, he would hang upside down the moment the roller coaster did the 360-degree turn. Even if Tang Mianmian was strong enough, he wouldn’t last a few seconds under that sort of impact. Although, it wasn’t necessarily useful to get Tang Mianmian to hold onto Xiao Tangqiu tightly while the latter, who was wearing a seatbelt, held the guardrail. After all, expecting a seat belt to carry the weight of two people was pushing the limit. But now, they could only bet on this!

If they failed, perhaps they would die together!

“But...” Tang Mianmian began to cry fearfully as he muttered, “You don’t have to do this... Maybe you won’t die...”

Tang Mianmian was very timid and afraid of death, but he also knew that Xiao Tangqiu had a safety belt and could make it on his own. There was no need for Xiao Tangqiu to die with him.

The probability that one person would survive was always greater than the probability that the both of them survived.

Xiao Tangqiu bit the bullet. “Worse comes to worst, we’ll die together!”

“...Okay!”

Tang Mianmian cried out, then hugged Xiao Tangqiu as tightly as he could.

This time, the roller coaster climbed up very fast, making it to the top at once. Then, it stopped in mid-air and began to slowly hang upside down.

The moment the roller coaster was suspended upside down, Xiao Tangqiu felt that his entire body would be thrown out. The useless safety bar had no effect at all. He could only rely on his safety belt to hold himself to the seat. As the safety belt wasn’t particularly reliable, his body had even floated out of the seat and the strap was cutting into his shoulders. Never mind if that was it, but he also happened to be carrying the weight of two people and feeling twice the pressure from gravity.

Tang Mianmian had neither a safety bar nor a safety belt. In order to prevent being thrown off the roller coaster, he had to cling to Xiao Tangqiu. His entire body was wrapped around Xiao Tangqiu like an octopus. Because he was extremely terrified, he kept his eyes closed tightly, not daring to open them at all.

Xiao Tangqiu also used both hands to grab the guardrail of the roller coaster. The seat belt didn’t give him a sense of security at all. Moreover, he didn’t think that seat belt could bear the weight of two adult men at the same time. In case it suddenly broke, they would be thrown out immediately and was guaranteed to land head first.

He held on to the guardrail with all his strength that his fingers had turned white but the impact of hanging upside down nearly made him let go. The safety belt cut into him, almost strangling him to death.

But the thing that really made it hard for him to breathe, was Tang Mianmian who was clinging to him. His had great strength, and in the face of life and death, he broke out in even greater strength, both arms wrapped around his neck like claws of death.

Xiao Tangqiu felt that he would be strangled to death by Tang Mianmian before he was actually thrown off. Being clung to so tightly had already made his eyes roll back. He felt that it was as if he was rescuing a drowning man in the deep sea. The drowning man clung to him because of his will to survive. As a result, the two men not only failed to float to the surface of the water together, but also slowly sank...
