Just as Fu Jinxiao was about to say something, there was another knock on the door.
Shen Xingsui felt such an unlucky timing in his life. Before when he was free, no one knocked on the door. And now, he was so busy, and thereâs some interloper on his door. But could only suppress his anger and ask, âWho is it?â
The staff outside said, âTeacher Shen, the director asked us to come and send you a task card.â
When Shen Xingsui heard that it was work, he quickly said, âOh, yes!â
He looked at Fu Jinxiao, wishing he could hide for a little while.
However, this time Actor Fu couldnât be moved by only coquettish acting. He sat on the chair and slowly said, âWeâre not doing something illegal or immoral, what are you afraid of?â
ââŠâ Shen Xingsui glanced at him helplessly.
In the end, he had no choice but to invite the staff in. When the staff entered the door and saw that Fu Jinxiao was there, they were surprised, and then said, âMr. Fu should go back now. A staff member should be waiting for you.â
Fu Jinxiao opened his lips, âCanât you just put it in my room?â
The staff apologized, âSorry, Mr. Fu, this task card is more important and complicated, so it needs to be explained in person. Each guest has a different identity, so there canât be a second person when the explanation is given. Please understand.â
Fu Jinxiao nodded, and he looked at Shen Xingsui. âThen I go back now?â
Shen Xingsui was a bit reluctant, but he knew that he had to cooperate with the work, so acquiesced, âOkay.â
Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, âIâll come back later?â
The staff was startled, wondering whether they had seen something they shouldnât. Now, they were wondering if they would be silenced and couldnât see the sun shining tomorrow. It was far too late to pretend to be dead.
Shen Xingsui was thin-skinned, and after seeing the staffâs complicated look, he said, âNo need! No need!â
Fu Jinxiao saw that he was starting to get embarrassed, so he left soon after.
After he left, the staff took a step forward and began to introduce the mission to Shen Xingsui, and then said to the cameraman behind him, âItâs time to start.â
Shen Xingsui was shocked, âThe camera has been rolling since thenâŠ?â
The staff saw his embarrassment, and chuckled lightly, âAhaha, donât worry, it hasnât started yet.â
The cameraman gestured, âThe recording starts⊠now.â
Thankfully, the previous conversation wasnât recorded. If Zhang Chiâs and Fu Jinxiaoâs rather controversial words were broadcasted, the sensation would be shocking enough to make everyone stay awake until tomorrow.
The audience in the live broadcast room saw Shen Xingsuiâs complicated expression when they came in, and they smelled something suspicious going on.
[Whatâs the matter, whatâs the matter?]
[Did I miss something already?]
[Hahaha, itâs more exciting than my class back then.]
Everyone gathered around to watch the excitement, and finally heard the staff begin the explanation of the mission in detail, âThere is an ancient legend among the Miao people. In the deepest part of the mountain forest, there is a hidden treasure that can suppress evil spirits. Our Miao people have lived here for generations. The purpose is to protect the treasures from being invaded. Now that the world is in turmoil and all forces are coveting the treasures, all young heroes here are given missions to complete.â
The staff member took out a golden card from the box and handed it to him, saying, âFind the secret treasure, seal it up completely, and prevent evil forces from using the treasure to do evil. Thereâs eight pieces of secret treasure you must find. Go, you have a lot of responsibilities on your shoulders. And as for this, this is the token that lets you enter the depths of the mountains and forests, you can only find the secret treasure with this token. Please keep it safe.â
Shen Xingsui was already quite experienced with this kind of game. âYou said something about âidentityâ before, so there should be guests with special ones, right?â
âThatâs right, there are villains among you who want to get the secret treasure. They wanted to rein chaos upon the world.â The staff said in a righteous tone, âPlease be careful and choose your friends carefully! Donât be fooled by the villains!â
Shen Xingsui felt tired.
There were villains again, so there would be another guessing game full of misdirections and backstabbing. Last time it was Anran and Ning Ze, who will it be this time?
Seeing such settings, the audience jumped back and forth to each guestsâ live broadcast in excitement.
[Shen Xingchen isnât the villain.]
[Neither is Teacher Tuya.]
[Ning Ze is a good guy this time.]
[Oh, oh, oh! Mr. Fuâs identity this time around should be exciting!]
[I hope he gets the villain identity, not gonna lie.]
In the last episode, Fu Jinxiao was a cheat-level existence. It was no exaggeration that the good camp won because of his efforts. But this time, if he was the sole villain, that would be wonderful.
[Itâs a 1v9 my friends!]
[Ohhh Iâm so excited to see whatâs going to happen!]
[Can the good guys win this time?]
[It will be difficult! If Mr. Fu really got the villain, then itâs a hell-level difficulty for the good guys.]
The other guests didnât know what kind of difficulty was waiting for them, and they all got a good nightâs sleep after getting the task. After all, they needed proper rest to cope with the bloody storm that might come the next day.
After the guests woke up in the morning, the director called everyone to gather.
The director said, âItâs a new day and a new beginning. Everyone worked hard yesterday, so today, all our guests will start to regroup and become partners.â
âThe rules for choosing a partner this time are also different from the past,â The director continued with a smile, âWe have adopted a new model, so that we make things exciting and fulfill the audiencesâ wishes.â
The guests asked, âWhat method?â
The director further elaborated, âOn WeChat and Weibo, including the live broadcast platform, we opened the voting system yesterday. The official voting ended before 4 oâclock this morning. The 120 million viewers who participated in the event voted together on which partner they wanted to see the most!â
This was quite the novel method for this program.
In the past, the team formation was either formed by the guests themselves or by drawing lots. There was no way for the audience to intervene, but now there was an opportunity for the audience to participate in.
The director showed a mysterious smile â it was a look of anticipation of excitement. âNow letâs announce the four groups with the highest number of votes.â
Shen Xingchen lowered his voice and said to Shen Xingsui, âWho do you think is the most likely to be grouped with you?â
Shen Xingsui was not sure. âWell, I donât think I can guess, because Iâm not sure about the audiencesâ preferences.â
âAnyway, itâs impossible for us to get grouped up,â Shen Xingchen carelessly said, âBecause we both are so smart, if we team up, wouldnât we be invincible?â
ââŠâ
Shen Xingsui has always been envious of brotherâs self-confidence. âYes.â
Shen Xingchen smiled and puffed up his chest.
The director began to announce the combination in no particular order, âThe first group is Teacher Tuya and Teacher Li. Their team got 13.45 million votes!â
Everyone applauded.
The director looked at Shen Xingsui and Shen Xingchen mysteriously again, coughed lightly and said, âThe second combination is the combination of Shen Xingsui and Shen Xingchen. They got 43.21 million votes!â
Both of them were dumbfounded.
The audience in the live broadcast room were gloating.
[I just want to see how miserable these two silly children can be after leaving their respective golden thighs.]
[Hahaha, Suisui, this must be your first time leaving Teacher Fu.]
[Everyone thought the same thing!]
[Oh my god, Iâm dying of laughter.]
Shen Xingchen rubbed his chin and said, âIt seems that the two of us are bound to have a rich harvest today. Let the audience see how good we are.â
For no apparent reason, Shen Xingsui felt a little ominous. Finally he nodded and said, âAlright.â
The director announced the remaining team.
Fu Jinxiao & Anran: 63.29 million votes,
Li Xuâan & Ning Ze: 11.9 million votes,
Xu Qinke& Feng Fan: 32.14 million votes
Seeing the result, the audience actually wanted to laugh at the number of votes.
[Who the hell voted for Fu Jinxiao and Anran?]
[Itâs an interesting combination, actually.]
[Alright, this is a chance for you Anran. You can try.]
[Hahaha, everyone feels the same about this team too, huh?]
