Chapter 379 Accident
If Eric went easy on Abigail’s team, it would lead to criticism from the audience once the show was aired.
The two of them then walked together.
Coincidentally, they ran into Leo on the second floor.
Leo had a very refined appearance, fair skin, and a seemingly gentle demeanor.
When he encountered Eric and Abigail, he ran as fast as he could. However, he was eventually. overpowered by the two of them, and they took his key.
After this round, when Abigail was resting, she couldn’t help but talk to Tristan. “Don’t you think. the rules are unreasonable? How can anyone win under these circumstances?”
“The game is for the audience’s entertainment. The more thrilling and intense it is, the more viewers it attracts. What do you know?” He waved his hand dismissively, showing little interest speaking to her.
Undeniably, she thought there was some truth in his words.

“This game can be cumulative. If you can’t win today, you have a chance tomorrow and the day after that until you find the treasure chest. We’re not just recording for one day,” he added to avoid her causing
and accusing the production team of unfair practices later.
Everyone seemed to accept the explanation.
With two hours of gameplay plus the punishment segment, the recording came to an end.
Coming out of the hotel, Abigail felt sore all over, especially in her legs. She had never climbed so many flights of stairs in her life.
“Where do you think the treasure chest is?” Eric asked her.
After a moment of silence, she said, “I think we can cooperate. I’ll go easy on your people, and you go easy on mine. With that, there may be a chance that one of our teams might get the treasure from the chest.”
“I think they’ve probably been doing that already,” he told her.
They quickly reached an agreement.
On the third day of recording, neither Abigail nor Eric could cope any longer. Unfortunately, Tristan didn’t allow anyone to rest.

“If we keep resting like this, we won’t finish recording in half a week!” Tristan yelled in anger.
“But you need to consider everyone’s physical condition. High-intensity games like this can lead to problems. And with a punishment like walking the plank, how can we do that when we’re physically exhausted? Are we going to keep walking the plank until it gets dark?” Eric argued with him, appealing to reason.
“That’s right! I don’t believe anyone will dare to delay walking the plank until it’s dark! Eric, if you don’t want to record, you can say it in front of the camera, and you’ll bear the responsibility. The production team won’t waste time on you!” Tristan was shouting at Eric.
Suddenly, Eric grabbed Tristan’s collar. “You changed the rules at the last minute, and you expect. us to bear the responsibility? There’s no such good deal in this world. I’ll say it in front of the camera that I quit. I’ll release the original recording script and compare it to your new one. You think you’re in the right, going back on your words like this?”
Tristan was intimidated by Eric’s furious state. He glared at Eric for a moment, then chuckled and said, “You’re just concerned about Alana, aren’t you? Why don’t you say it? If you say it, I’ll
let you take a break.”
