Ti passed minute by minute.
Ten minutes had elapsed since Qin Kelian finished her tea.
Jiang Ran had already drunk his cup and poured himself another, taking several sips.
The faint fragrance emanating from Qin Kelian sitting beside him made Jiang Ran enjoy the tea he normally wouldn't drink, feeling utterly relaxed and euphoric.
While Jiang Ran was floating on cloud nine, Qin Kelian certainly wasn't!
Currently frowning, she stared intently at Jiang Ran who showed no signs of being affected, extrely puzzled.
The knockout drug in the tea was supposed to take effect within five minutes, ensuring an adult would remain unconscious for an entire day.
Yet over ten minutes had passed.
Why was Jiang Ran still so energetic?
And becoming even more cheerful as he drank?
"Could sister have forgotten to put the drug in this pot of tea?" Qin Kelian wondered.
"But that can't be - sister never makes such basic mistakes. Unless Jiang Ran is like ?"
Qin Kelian studied Jiang Ran's handso profile with confusion.
She had also drunk from this sa teapot earlier under Jiang Ran's watchful gaze without issue.
That was because since childhood, she had trained in preparing such drugs, personally testing their effects.
Her body had long developed immunity.
But Jiang Ran?
Could he also have built up immunity?
After waiting another ten minutes with no signs of Jiang Ran collapsing, Qin Kelian gave up waiting.
Making an excuse, she took the small teapot back to her own apartnt 303.
Before leaving, she noticed Jiang Ran's reluctant gaze following her, which left her utterly speechless.
Returning to 303, her sister Qin Yi complained: "Why did it take so long to deal with him?"
Already frustrated, Qin Kelian retorted: "Sister, did you forget to put the knockout drug in this tea?"
Qin Yi was startled: "Why do you say that?"
After Qin Kelian explained the situation, Qin Yi made a surprised sound.
She took the teapot to a blue tal cage in the living room containing a small rabbit.
Pouring so tea into the cage's water dish, the snow-white rabbit hopped over to drink.
Within a minute or two of drinking, it collapsed unconscious, dead to the world.
Seeing this, Qin Yi spread her hands: "The drug wasn't forgotten. Seems the problem lies with Jiang Ran himself."
Qin Kelian couldn't understand: "Problem? What problem? Unless he's like us with immunity? But that shouldn't be..."
Qin Yi said: "The world is full of wonders. So people can drink endlessly without getting drunk, others have four kidneys making them endlessly energetic. As for Jiang Ran, I suspect his body might be special - immune to knockout drugs, or at least this particular one."
Qin Kelian sighed, seeing no other explanation.
"So sister, what do we do now?"
Qin Yi picked up the teapot with a faint smile: "Since we failed with Jiang Ran for now, let's try Qin Fei instead."
"This ti, it's my turn."
In the live stream room...
Jiang Ran's narrow escape once again left all hundred thousand viewers shocked beyond belief.
Surviving one assassination attempt from apartnt residents was already unbelievable enough.
Yet this was his second escape!!!
Moreover, Jiang Ran differed fundantally from other test subjects - he had been tricked into coming, while others had signed agreents and maintained so vigilance.
Middle-aged Uncle: [The 301 old man with 100% kill rate, and the demoness sisters who've never failed... Jiang Ran... I'm impressed...]
Domineering Female CEO: [Can soone tell
if such people really exist? Naturally immune to knockout drugs?]
Little Dragon Girl: [I have a relative in pharmaceuticals who ntioned such cases - like how so are naturally allergic to penicillin.]
I am the Hero: [Incredible! If Jiang Ran were in wuxia novels, he'd be invincible - no sleeping drugs work on him, might need aphrodisiacs instead.]
Fairy Sister: [I'm starting to think Diamond Bachelor Brother Wang's judgnt holds increasing rit. Jiang Ran survived twice now - he might actually be the last one standing.]
Other viewers felt indescribably conflicted.
They never expected Diamond Bachelor himself would witness Jiang Ran's second escape.
His astonishnt mirrored theirs completely.
Even this beautiful girl began wondering - could she actually win this round?
......
Room 302
Since entering the apartnt these past few days,
Qin Fei hadn't left his unit.
Ordering takeout for als, with the daily 10,000 yuan paynt, he spent most on gaming, keeping just enough for food.
At 9pm,
Qin Fei was imrsed in an intense ga battle.
The glowing black keyboard and mouse clicked rapidly.
Then ca knocking at his door.
In the heat of gaplay,
Qin Fei at his living room desk didn't even glance toward the door, fully focused on his ga.
The knocking persisted briefly before stopping.
Qin Fei continued gaming uninterrupted.
The knocking resud several more tis, but Qin Fei remained glued to his screen.
Live stream room:
Middle-aged Uncle: [Could Qin Fei actually escape like Jiang Ran did?]
Domineering Female CEO: [Hard to say after Jiang Ran's example - anything's possible now.]
Little Dragon Girl: [Aaaah! I just want this round over! Qin Fei die already so we can start next round!]
Little Aunt: [Agreed.]
I am the Hero: [Agreed.]
10pm.
The match finally ended.
Qin Fei, who'd been holding his bladder, rushed to the bathroom imdiately after.
Relieved, he strode back to his desk, grabbing a bottle of water to gulp down.
After drinking, he prepared instant noodles for a late-night snack.
Tonight being a major guild battle, he planned to pull an all-nighter, dedicating his heart to the guild!
Just as he prepared to return to battle, knocking sounded at his door again.
"Seems soone knocked several tis during my ga."
"Could it be that damn old man again?!"
Recently, the 301 old man had knocked multiple tis asking for help.
Qin Fei fantasized about smashing the old man's skull with a hamr.
But curiosity got the better of him - he went to check the peephole.
What he saw shocked him to the core.
