Chapter 164: Chapter 164: Hilarious Competition Poses

Next up was the Iron-eating Beast Xuan Jiao.

At first, the Iron-eating Beast didn’t quite understand the game; he was entirely focused on bringing the panda babies over to watch the fun. But after Lan Zhuo’s demonstration, he showed intense interest, eagerly fighting for a turn to play. Given his usually non-competitive nature, the other fluffy creatures were willing to let him have his way in such trivial matters. Thus, the Iron-eating Beast successfully took his seat in the snow tube.

"Jiao Jiao, sit tight. I’m going to push you now, don’t be afraid."

"Mhm!"

After routinely comforting the Iron-eating Beast to ensure he was mentally prepared, Liang He gave a hard push, aiming squarely at the target as always.

[Honestly, do you guys think the Breeder is some kind of herculean girl? She can actually push an Iron-eating Beast this big!]

[I noticed that ages ago. Which of these fluffy creatures isn’t a massive beast? Truth be told, the Breeder was never an ordinary person to begin with.]

[The main point is that she not only pushes them, but does it so effortlessly. I really love this kind of strong feminine power!]

Unaware that the netizens in the livestream had shifted their discussion to her physical strength, Liang He was staring intently at the Iron-eating Beast.

The Iron-eating Beast adopted a seated posture. Perhaps because his center of gravity was more stable, he didn’t pitch forward like Silver Shuttle had. However, precisely because of his massive weight, Liang He’s estimation was slightly off. Just like Lan Zhuo, he stopped a tiny bit short of the inflatable bowling pins.

"Eh, eh, eh? Xuan Jiao actually stood up? Is he copying Lan Zhuo?" Xu Yi stared at the Iron-eating Beast in shock. He watched as the creature imitated Lan Zhuo’s previous actions, standing straight up and trying to close the distance by wiggling his butt to move the snow tube.

[Pfft! Hahahaha... The Iron-eating Beast is way too cute! His butt wiggling back and forth, JIGGLE JIGGLE~]

[The Iron-eating Beast’s imitation skills are so strong! He even improved upon the move to keep from falling. He’s simply a paragon of self-taught talent!]

[He’s gonna push, he’s gonna push! Let’s see the super cute Iron-eating Beast’s score!]

Under everyone’s nervous and expectant gazes, the Iron-eating Beast finally managed to stand firm right in front of the inflatable bowling pins through his own effort. Raising his broad, massive paw, he gave a nonchalant shove.

CLATTER CLATTER!

A whole swath of inflatable bowling pins instantly fell over.

"Incredible! Xuan Jiao actually knocked down nine! One more than Lan Zhuo!" Hoder’s eyes widened. He stared at the Iron-eating Beast in disbelief, incredibly curious about how he managed to surpass his predecessor.

[Hahaha~ Doctor Lan threw away his dignity and finally got a decent score of eight points, only to have his record broken by the Iron-eating Beast in the blink of an eye!]

[I’ve realized that, apart from the Breeder, these guys only exist to get absolutely dominated by the fluffy creatures~]

[Stop, stop saying that! Any more and Little Shuozi is going to cry. Look at his red eyes, he’s just too pitiful and lovable, haha!]

The stark contrast between Silver Shuttle and the Iron-eating Beast caused the netizens to tease and laugh relentlessly. Watching the comment section, even Liang He couldn’t help but smile. To quickly move past the topic, she hurriedly urged them to send their next player. The Divine Beast Team was now leading by four points.

"I’m up next!" Eager for action, Xu Yi took his seat in the snow tube. This time, he was going to take back everything his team had lost!

Xu Yi’s plan was perfect: he would copy Lan Zhuo’s method and borrow the Iron-eating Beast’s imposing manner to deliver a powerful strike. However, reality was far less beautiful than he imagined. Hoder had mastered the force this time, but completely neglected the direction.

"Ahhhhh! Eh, eh, eh? No! Not this direction!"

Xu Yi, who had finally prepared to show off his skills, gloriously missed the inflatable bowling pins. He sailed right past them without even grazing the edges.

Seeing the look of absolute despair on Xu Yi’s face, Liang He truly couldn’t hold it in this time and burst out laughing.

"No way! It doesn’t count if I didn’t touch them! I can still do it!"

According to the rules, as long as a player hadn’t touched the inflatable bowling pins, they were allowed to try and get closer—provided they didn’t leave the snow tube or paddle with their hands and feet.

"I mean, you can... but it seems like you’re a bit too far away." Liang He gestured at the distance between Xu Yi and the nearest inflatable bowling pin; it was nearly three meters away.

"I can do it! Just give me some time!"

However, the "handicapped but determined" Xu Yi firmly refused to give up, pressing forward valiantly in the face of adversity. Completely disregarding what others thought, he focused entirely on inching his way toward the inflatable bowling pins.

[Such an inspiring vibe. You can do it, Doctor Xu!]

[Never abandon, never give up! Doctor Xu is awesome! I support you!]

[Don’t think saying things like that can hide the fact that you’re just enjoying the drama, hahaha~]

Xu Yi attempted to stand up. Unable to master the butt-wiggling technique, he could only continuously rotate his ankles to generate momentum and shift the snow tube forward. To maintain his balance, his hands weren’t idle either; he spread his arms wide, constantly adjusting his posture to keep from falling.

"Xu Yi! Your hands! Hands!" Seeing that Xu Yi was about to "make landfall," Hoder suddenly shouted his name.

When Xu Yi belatedly looked up at him, then glanced in confusion at his own flailing hands, a loud THUMP rang out as he knocked over an inflatable bowling pin.

That’s right, just one, with absolutely no chain reaction afterward.

"Ahhhhh! Why?!" Howling at the sky, Xu Yi felt utterly defeated.

[Pfft! I’m dying of laughter~ Doctor Xu worked so hard and finally managed to inch his way over, only to knock down a single pin!]

[The sorrow is immense~ I feel like he’s completely shattered inside, hahaha~]

[Sure enough, if nothing goes wrong, something will definitely go wrong. It’s too tough for Doctor Xu~]

Pitied by the netizens, Xu Yi was now too upset to speak. He returned to the starting point, utterly dejected. Originally, he had planned to set up the knocked-over inflatable bowling pins himself, even happily anticipating having to reset a lot of them. Now, he had completely forgotten about that—he didn’t want to touch a single one!

"Ahem, then let’s have Cedriel up next."

Liang He shifted her gaze to the Mojin King Tiger. Whether it was just an illusion or not, she felt that ever since her business trip to Greenfield Star, Cedriel had been acting a bit off, though she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. Usually, he was quite proactive about these kinds of amusement activities, even competing fiercely against the Canglan Hunting Eagle and Mengji Snow Leopard. Not like now, where he seemed... exceptionally steady? He gave off a vibe of disdain, like an older child watching little kids play childish games.

"Awooo~"

Called out, the Mojin King Tiger walked over to the starting point at a leisurely pace, exuding a domineering kingly aura. He planted his four limbs firmly on the snow tube, evidently planning to maintain a handsome posture.

Seeing this, Liang He couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile. Alright, she was definitely overthinking it. Cedriel was still as smug as ever.

"Cedriel, are you ready?"

"Awooo!"

"Three, two, one!"

Who knew if Liang He just had a knack for pushing snow tubes, but either way, the Mojin King Tiger managed to steadily approach the inflatable bowling pins while standing. As everyone waited with bated breath, he even charged into the central area from an extremely tricky angle...
