Limited Extra Time Ch 18 Novels & Stories

Something that got inside the ribs and stayed there. We went to overtime tied 1-1. Overtime lasted eleven minutes and eleven seconds. I scored on a play that was not designed and not practiced and was entirely instinctive — a loose puck at the top of the crease, Jax screening the goalie, and me reading the gap and putting the puck through it before I had fully decided to.

“What?” “Watch Tavian.” My eyes snapped to him. Tavian had rotated backward, reading the play before it fully formed. Silvergate’s winger wound up for a shot—Hillia intercepted at the last second. The crowd screamed. But the puck didn’t clear. Silvergate regained control almost instantly. 0:18. My heart was in my throat. “They can’t hold for eighteen seconds?” I whispered. “Eighteen seconds is a lifetime,” Johanis murmured. The puck moved again. Fast. Too fast...

The distance between him and the rest grew wider with every passing second. Chloe’s brows drew together into a sharp frown. The rulebook allowed Gao Jian to use three full blue flag warnings before forcing him to yield. He was clearly using that buffer to waste her remaining time. She refused to sit back and wait for the clock to run out. If she let this continue, the gap between her and Yu Guang would become too wide to fix. The remaining time was draining fast. The exact second Gao Jian decided to stop blocking and speed up, her entire race would be over.

she told him, huffing. “That means you’ve lost 19 more minutes. Alright then, you’ll have just fifteen minutes of rest altogether, and we proceed. Congratulations,” Killian smilingly applauded, much to her disgruntlement. But she didn’t dare to complain. What if he deducted an extra 8 minutes? She wouldn’t risk it.

"You've got two points left to guess. After that, you're outta luck." One of the players called a timeout. They had a minute. I spun around in my chair to face Tanya. She stared at me, her expression impossible to read—like she wasn't sure if she was annoyed or intrigued. "Once the timeout's over, that's your last chance," I reminded her. Tanya snorted, then smirked. "If you wanna negotiate, just say so. No need for this dumb game." Figures. Trying to outsmart a fool like her? Total waste of time.

Qin Haodong said to Duan Bailian, "How much time is left?" Duan Bailian looked at his watch. "Only 15 seconds left!" Qin Haodong smiled and said, "15 seconds would be enough. Let's continue!" "What did that mean? Does he still want to win this match?" "Even if they had an extra player, wouldn't it still be impossible? After all, there's not enough time." "Although his opponents are missing a player, they are still the school team. No matter how skilled Qin Haodong is, it will still be impossible..."

“How much longer do I have?” He glance at his wristwatch, “I’d say less than thirty minutes, precisely twenty-three minutes.” I pull my head up and inspect my desk to see if I can navigate my way through the works on it in such a little time. “I think I can do this,” I bob my head, enthusiastic. “Really? Great!” “Can I help?” his brow arches in interest. “No helping. That’s part of the rules, and no using of magic either, that’s considered cheating.”

"It's the only one you're getting tonight." The song shifted into something slower, and neither of us moved to step apart. Across the room, I caught Cairo watching us with a small, satisfied smile, he4 raised his drink to me, then winked like that one Leonardo DiCaprio meme. I didn't have the energy to worry about that right now, not with Voss's hand still resting warm against my back and thirty minutes left before I'd have him to myself. "Thirty minutes," I said quietly, almost to myself. Voss glanced down at me. "What was that?" "Nothing just counting down."

Not that we knew what these immunity points were useful for. “I can't wait to see the horror on your faces when you realize the importance of an immunity point and how much you've lost here… that’s if you ever make it out alive.” The voice jeered. Silence remained. It was clear that everyone was probably living in the moment. “The last rules; every player is given ten seconds to aim and five to decide whether to swing. Failure before the time runs out equates to punishment.” Right at that moment, red flags jutted with slow precision out of the green grasses. Each flag spread wide and near across the field.

"Here are the rules for this round: ★ Each question is designed with a limited time of forty seconds. If your team is not able to solve a question in that time, then you will receive zero points for that question. ★ Every other device asides from the ones provided by us is forbidden. ★ You will get extra points if you're able to hack and destabilise your opponents' system, but you are allowed to do this only twice and for twenty seconds only. ★ This round has a total of thirty-five points. Whichever team that can finish all fifty questions correctly would be the winner," Vanessa explained. "Now after giving all the rules, let all programmers place their hands on their mouse. We will begin in
