Type-Moon, but the Servant is Tom

Chapter 212: The Organizers' Behind-the-Scenes Manipulation!

And at the moment before Bai Song charged in, inside the recording room.

"What? One of the teleportation gates is missing?!"

"Umm, the one on the snowy mountain, it seems it got frozen due to heavy snow..." Nero said, glancing nervously elsewhere, avoiding direct eye contact with Gill.

"Really?"

"Really!" Nero nodded solemnly.

"I swear by my innate skill Migraine,' if I'm lying, I'll lose this skill forever!"

"Um, well, I'll choose to believe you for now." Although Gill didn't know why, he felt a strange sensation from the way Nero swore his oath. But he didn't choose to dwell on it; he just started thinking about countermeasures. However, this was also easily solvable.

"Let's change it so that the first two who enter go to one location, the next three go to another, and the last three go to the third, forming a 233 formation."

Seeing that Gill had been fooled, Nero sighed in relief. Then she pretended to be serious while actually being mischievous and said, "Isn't this being a bit fickle? I remember you said when you spoke earlier that it would be pairs of two, forming a total of four groups?"

This was pure nonsense, without any substance. They were missing a teleportation gate, so what's the point of discussing this?

However, as long as Gill's attention could be shifted from questioning why one of the teleportation gates malfunctioned to discussing the countermeasures for the missing gate, then this statement would no longer be nonsense!

"Hmph, Tawake! (Foolish)" After muttering this light insult, Gill raised his head confidently.

"This king abides by rules, and since this king has a new idea, it's also a rule, so there's no problem."

"Then, let's just skip the randomness altogether and directly set it. The first teleportation gate goes to a tropical rainforest, the second to a wasteland, and the third to a desert!"

"Pia~pia~pia~." At the sound of this, Nero repeatedly applauded Gill's behind-the-scenes manipulation, "Good!"

In this way, without the knowledge of all the participants except Merlin, the organizers, in quite a crafty manner, changed the rules.

Due to the initial circumstances, both he and Gudako found themselves in the last two positions, so, without any surprises, they would be in the same group.

At the very last moment before entering the nearby teleportation gate, Bai Song thought to himself.

In the next instant, Bai Song, along with the Cat-Mouse-Dog chariot that he and the cat-mouse were simultaneously driving, plunged into the semi-circular blue teleportation gate with a diameter exceeding 20 meters, rooted in the track.

Almost simultaneously with Bai Song, Gudako riding Red Hare also charged in.

Different from the anticipated charging animation that needed to be activated, Bai Song only felt a flash of light before suddenly appearing in a different place.

Then, what greeted him was an intensely strong wave of heat.

Bai Song blinked his eyes, which were stung by the sunlight, and looked ahead. What appeared before him was an endless expanse of dry ground, sporadically covered with patches of hay.

"Jeez, it's so hot, it's a desert!"

As soon as he realized where he had been sent, Bai Song's face darkened. It's true that whatever he was afraid of seemed to come true he had just been praying in his heart that it wouldn't be a desert.

Guess what? They sent him to a desert!

Shaking his head, Bai Song thought he was too careless. He should have wished for a desert from the start, following the law of jinxing the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. So, going against that, wouldn't he have been sent to a tropical rainforest?

Just as Bai Song was thinking about his bad luck, he suddenly noticed something vague in front of him someone seemed to be passionately running on the ground... a griffin?

"Hmm? Someone ahead?" Taking a closer look, Bai Song realized that the figure in front was another participant.

The reason Bai Song recognized the figure immediately was simple: all participants were strictly prohibited from flying. So even if the previous participant was riding a griffin-type magical beast, they had to dash on the ground like they were having a seizure.

And although it might sound a bit insulting to say this, Bai Song couldn't help but think that the griffin's running posture looked like that of a Husky dog running freely.

Putting aside this question, Bai Song couldn't help but mutter to himself with some curiosity, "Strange, wasn't it supposed to be just two people in one group? Could it be that Gudako bugged the system? So, am I in the same group as the person who entered first?"

Thinking this, Bai Song suddenly felt a little excited. If Gudako got eliminated, that would be absolutely fantastic!

"Sss~~~!!!" Just at that moment, a horse's neigh suddenly sounded from behind him.

"Xue thief, halt! I've come to take your life!!!" Following the horse's neigh, an extremely familiar female voice came from behind him.

Hearing the voice, Bai Song turned around... well, Gudako hadn't dropped out yet.

Seeing Gudako just fine and not disconnected, Bai Song couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Moreover, Gudako's speed on that cursed beast as she caught up was so fast it was terrifying. That horse was like it had taken an aphrodisiac, reddened all over, charging towards him at breakneck speed.

If she caught up, it would be quite frightening. Just thinking about being chased by a horny stallion made Bai Song shudder. He immediately commanded, "Tom, accelerate!"

Following Bai Song's instruction, Tom lightly pressed the accelerator, and in an instant, the entire Cat-Mouse-Dog chariot shot up to 300 miles per hour!

In metric units, that was almost 500 kilometers per hour!

A powerful surge of acceleration pressed Bai Song into the backrest of his seat.

As for Spike, who was seated in the shopping basket on top of the rocket thrusters, he was enjoying the wind blowing in his face. However, due to the sudden acceleration of the chariot, Spike was blown off the basket!

"Woof?!" Feeling his body leave the basket, Spike looked down and instead of seeing the basket he had just been in, he saw a dry ground and... a cactus.

In the next moment, Spike fell straight onto the ground and landed right on top of the cactus. Within an instant, Spike's face turned red.

"Howling!!!", he let out a sharp scream, clutching his rear, and leapt off the ground.

With a horrified expression, Spike started frantically waving his paws and legs in the air, as if he were swimming in mid-air.

It turned out this maneuver was quite effective.

"Swoosh~." The next moment, accompanied by a sound effect that someone had apparently added while waving its limbs, Spike swam back to the shopping cart and grabbed onto the edge.
