Middle-aged Uncle fell silent for a mont before sighing: "You're right. The benevolent don't beco rich, and the rich don't remain benevolent. If I had truly practiced benevolence, I wouldn't have reached my current status."
I am the Hero chid in: "Alright everyone, no need to argue. After all, who hasn't done sothing bad? We all know the truth in our hearts."
"What I'm curious about is this young man's na - Wang Anjian. I rember a female orphan nad Li Anjian trending on Douyin recently. Tragically, she also passed away from cancer."
The long-haired beautiful host stopped introducing and glanced at her black tablet, appearing thoughtful as she read the crazy comnts flooding the live stream room.
Putting down the tablet, she continued:
"The final subject, Test Subject No.5, is the most special one in this round."
"His na is Mike, male, 33 years old, Arican. His profession is detective. Notably, he ranks 10th on Arica's detective rankings. Unlike others, he didn't sign any agreent with us. Similar to Jiang Ran and Zhou Wu, he entered through different ans. But there's a key difference - he ca with a specific purpose."
"Can anyone guess why this Arican detective entered Alice Apartnt?"
In the live stream room:
Ultimate Rich Kid comnted: "Since he didn't sign an agreent, it definitely wasn't for money. Of course, 10,000 per day is a fortune for most people, but insignificant for soone like him. I have an Arican friend."
"My friend's father recently discovered his new mistress was pregnant. He hired the 20th ranked Arican detective to find out who cuckolded him. Just for that simple investigation, the fee was 500,000 USD. Imagine what the 10th ranked would charge! So money couldn't be his motive."
"As a famous detective, he must be investigating sothing or working for soone!"
On screen, the long-haired host nodded with a smile: "Correct! Let
reveal the answer directly."
"This Mike was hired by Zhou Wu's younger sister, Zhou Yan, to investigate the disappearances of her father and brother."
Middle-aged Uncle reacted: "So that's it? His family actually has a sister! But both n are already dead! One killed by the chainsaw murderer, the other by Xiao Xing. What's there to investigate? Their bodies are gone! Well... except his brother's head might still be found."
Domineering Female CEO added: "So many detectives recently. Hope this one isn't like that counterfeit Conan last ti - what was his na? Ke Bei? Still locked up now."
I am the Hero replied: "This guy's skills definitely surpass Ke Bei's. After all, he's Arica's 10th best detective!"
Little Aunt excitedly comnted: "Fascinating! Absolutely fascinating! This round just got interesting again! A detective of this caliber is a first for Alice Apartnt!"
"Brilliant! Who will survive - the famous detective or all the psychopathic criminals in the apartnt?"
Then Ultimate Rich Kid asked: "Host sister, I have a question. Since Mike is staying at Alice Apartnt as a test subject, how will he receive his 10,000 daily paynt?"
The long-haired host smiled slightly: "That's for you all to decide."
The live stream erupted:
"What? We decide? What's there to decide about this?"
"Yeah, just give him the money. No need for us to decide, right? Any excuse would work."
The host raised her hand: "Everyone quiet, please let
finish."
"We're offering two options:"
"First: Transfer 10,000 daily directly to his bank account like other contracted residents."
"Second: Like Jiang Ran and Zhou Wu, find another pretext to deliver or compensate the money."
The options seed similar - both involved paying 10,000 per successful day of residence. Yet there were subtle differences.
Middle-aged Uncle voiced his opinion: "I support the first option. If this Arican detective Mike were truly like Jiang Ran and Zhou Wu, we'd choose the second option - find a suitable pretext."
"But Mike's different. He was hired to investigate. Since he's here to investigate anyway, why not go all out? Transfer the money directly and observe his reaction to sudden unexplained paynts. Wouldn't that create better chemical reactions?"
Many previously indifferent viewers now agreed with Middle-aged Uncle's reasoning. Since he ca to investigate, directly transferring money would force everything into the open, making things more interesting.
The host initiated a five-minute vote. Results showed 70% chose the first option, while 30% preferred the second.
Announcing the results, the host said: "Then it's decided. Mike will receive direct paynts like other contracted residents."
"Now that all five test subjects have been introduced, we'll begin the betting session. You have thirty minutes to place your bets. Please consider carefully."
Current live stream viewers: approximately 290,000, nearing 300,000.
Ultimate Rich Kid exclaid: "Great! The long-awaited betting session begins! Let
start with a bang!"
Soon, the thirty minutes ended.
The host began announcing the betting amounts for each test subject:
"Test Subject No.1 Jiang Ran's betting amount is... 150 million!"
Clearly stunned by the amount, the host paused briefly upon seeing it. Viewers were equally shocked seeing Jiang Ran's betting amount displayed on the giant screen behind her.
Fairy Sister expressed astonishnt: "I rember the total betting amounts from the previous two rounds were just over 130 million each. How did Jiang Ran alone surpass both rounds combined this ti?"
Middle-aged Uncle speculated: "I think it's because of Jiang Ran's performance last round! Surviving a headshot? Naturally more people bet on him with higher amounts. For example, I increased my bet from 5 million last round to 10 million this round on Jiang Ran, hehe!"
"Also, I've noticed our live stream viewership keeps growing. That's another factor."
The host continued: "Indeed, Jiang Ran's betting amount is surprising. Now let's see the others:"
"Test Subject No.2 Sun Yijie, the fitness trainer, received: 2.9 million."
"Test Subject No.3 Wu You received: 1 million."
"Test Subject No.4 Wang Anjian received: 1.22 million."
"Test Subject No.5 Mike received... 89 million!"
