The backdrop can also be propped up.

Chapter 261, Second Mission Location

At the staff's command, he saw a gust of wind blow past him, and by the time he realized what was happening, only the dust that had been kicked up remained in place.

The staff turned to look at the little red flag with some confusion and found that "Sen Ouling" had already run one-third of the distance with Wei Qingchun on its back.

When Lu Renkui was carrying Wei Qingchun, he initially thought about whether he should slow down. However, when he heard Wei Qingchun seemingly happy and shouting "Oh ho ho!", Lu Renkui felt relieved. Fortunately, Wei Qingchun did not feel any discomfort and even hoped that Sen Ouling would run faster.

"You want me to run a little faster, right, Teacher Wei?" Lu Renkui confirmed. The original owner was in good physical condition and could run a little faster while carrying someone on her back without any problem.

"Run faster, run faster!" Wei Qingchun seemed excited. "The faster you run, the more you get!"

"Okay, then, Teacher Wei, you keep a close eye on things." Lu Renkui took a breath, then lowered his head and rushed forward.

The sun was warm, and I felt a little hot from running. Lu Renkui thought to herself, "I should have taken off my jacket before running, but I'll probably be cold right at the start." Oh well, I'm almost at the finish line, so I shouldn't think about it anymore.

After reaching the finish line, Lu Renkui put Wei Qingchun down from his back. Wei Qingchun looked very excited, her face was a little red, whether from the cold wind or from the heat Lu Renkui had generated while running.

"Oh my, this is so interesting!" Wei Qingchun said with a smile.

Lu Renkui just smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he went to ask a staff member if he could stop the stopwatch.

The staff member pressed the stopwatch, and then it officially stopped. He looked at the numbers displayed and said, "You two have completed the task and ranked third, receiving 300 points and two tool cards."

After receiving the tool cards, Lu Renkui noticed that one was green and the other was purple.

The purple card says you can use it to get a free dinner.

The green card says that no one can refuse your exchange request unless the user also has a tool card that can offset it.

Lu Renkui thought for a moment, then placed both cards in front of Wei Qingchun and asked her which one she wanted to choose.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Qingchun chose the purple one, saying, "The fact that I can get the food is a certainty, so it's more stable."

Lu Renkui didn't say much. After handing the purple card to Wei Qingchun, he kept the green tool card and then went with Wei Qingchun to find the next mission location based on their memories.

Upon arriving at the second task location, Lu Renkui saw Huali and Lu Haichuan performing a task—ball throwing. The more balls they threw into the plastic basket, the more rewards they would receive.

Lu Renkui originally wanted to leave directly—because each task could only be completed by one group, and this group was already working on it, so it would be better to go find the next task location.

Unexpectedly, Wei Qingchun stepped forward and asked the staff, "Can the two of us participate in this mission?"

Lu Renkui thought the staff would refuse, but they didn't. They simply took out another bamboo basket, placed it on the ground, and pushed a plastic box containing 30 yellow rubber toy balls in front of Wei Qingchun, saying, "Throw all these balls in. After both teams have finished, we'll count how many balls are in the basket. The team that throws the most balls into the basket will be credited with completing this task."

"Ah, so it's competitive?" Lu Renkui saw Wei Qingchun's enthusiastic look and thought he would play along, so he went over, took a ball, aimed it at the basket, and threw it in, where it landed perfectly.

Lu Renkui raised an eyebrow, somewhat incredulous that he had managed to throw a ball into the basket without much aiming.

Hua Li had been subtly urging Lu Haichuan to complete the task—the two of them had agreed to each throw five balls to test the waters. Whoever had the higher accuracy would complete the task. Now, seeing others arrive, Hua Li couldn't help but feel anxious. If the other side made more shots than them, would they have failed?

Just as "Sen Ouling" casually threw a ball into the net, Huali became even more uneasy—they might complete the task quickly and well, and finish other tasks before them.

"Don't be nervous," Lu Haichuan said with a confident smile. "I'm very confident in my pitching skills."

"Then hurry up! What are you taking so long to aim? It's still only a 50% chance of hitting the target!" Huali thought to herself, but dared not say anything. She had just appeared on the show, and if that was included in the footage, she would be torn to shreds. Although she had decided to pursue a controversial image, Huali didn't want to be criticized for something like this. After all, the company had cultivated a calm, composed, and beautiful persona for her, and if that was included in the footage, it would definitely ruin her image.

So Huali could only stand aside and squat down to cheer Lu Haichuan on.

"Wow, Xiaosen, you're amazing! Come on, teach me how to throw it." Wei Qingchun shoved a yellow rubber ball into "Sen Ouling's" hand, making "Sen Ouling" demonstrate how she threw it again—Wei Qingchun herself had thrown five, only managing to get one in, and that one was a close call.

Lu Renkui took the ball, assumed the same posture as before, aimed, and then tossed it in. The ball landed steadily in the bamboo basket on the other side.

"Wow, Sen's amazing, Sen's amazing! Throw another one!" Wei Qingchun said, shoving another yellow rubber ball into Sen Ouling's hand.

Lu Renkui threw the ball again, but this time he missed. He threw it with a bit too much force, and the ball hit the edge of the bamboo basket, almost knocking it over.

"Hey, it's okay, Xiaosen, don't be discouraged. It's just for fun. Let me throw one in." Wei Qingchun said, throwing a ball into the basket himself, but it still missed.

"Oh dear, this is quite hard to throw." Wei Qingchun said as he tossed another ball into the basket. It grazed the edge of the basket, swung a little along the bamboo wicker basket, and finally landed inside.

"Oh my, I won this time!" Wei Qingchun said happily.

Lu Renkui glanced at the basket and unconsciously read aloud, "There are 20 balls left."
