Ok, so, 27 people left.
...That wasn't a satisfactory number, but nothing else could be done about that.
We could only bid the rest of the colorfully splattered contestants that couldn't make it goodbye. They each got a consolation prize of a gift card to an expensive restaurant and a photo with Shui Yu.
As for the ones that survived, it was time to feed them.
It was lunchtime, and based on their results, they would get to eat what they wanted or leftovers. This way they would be more motivated to do better.
First, they would finally get to introduce themselves and then get their portions.
The person who had the best score was...
"I'm Xia Jiayi, 15. I'm a researcher."
Xia Jiayi's introduction was short and simple. But the audience wouldn't like it if they only got a few facts about contestants, so we asked him more questions.
"You're a researcher, but only 15. Why are you not in school?"
I'm sorry to set the premium thing on you guys, but I'm really worried about my future. It's not like money can solve all of it, but it can solve most of it...
My mom's situation worsened so she's getting surgery in 2 weeks. And I have 2 siblings, we're all smart so I'm sure we can get at least a bit of scholarship, but I think saving up for the worst will help the situation a bit. Also, it's ok now, but my dad had lost his job for almost a month previously, so stress piled up on me and I eventually decided to take this step.
I'm really sorry to spring this on you guys...
I hope you guys have enough SS or fastpasses...
I know I'll lose many readers this way, but I really think I need to do this. To help me destress of a sort.
But don't worry, I will give chapters daily! At least 1,500 words a day! If you guys do decide to continue reading, thank you. But if you guys can't, still thank you for having read my work, thank you for your support.
