CH 82.2

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 there’s some interloper on his door. But could only suppress his anger and ask, “Who is it?” 

The staff outside said, “Teacher Shen, the director asked us to come and send you a task card.” 

When Shen Xingsui heard that it was work, he quickly said, “Oh, yes!”

He looked at Fu Jinxiao, wishing he could hide for a little while. 

However, this time Actor Fu couldn’t be moved by only coquettish acting. He sat on the chair and slowly said, “We’re not doing something illegal or immoral, what are you afraid of?” 

“…” 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, “Mr. Fu should go back now. A staff member should be waiting for you.”

Fu Jinxiao opened his lips, “Can’t you just put it in my room?”

The staff apologized, “Sorry, 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 can’t be a second person when the explanation is given. Please understand.” 

Fu Jinxiao nodded, and he looked at Shen Xingsui. “Then I go back now?” 

Shen Xingsui was a bit reluctant, but he knew that he had to cooperate with the work, so acquiesced, “Okay.”

Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, “I’ll come back later?”

The staff was startled, wondering whether they had seen something they shouldn’t. Now, they were wondering if they would be silenced and couldn’t see the sun shining tomorrow. It was far too late to pretend to be dead.

Shen Xingsui was thin-skinned, and after seeing the staff’s complicated look, he said, “No need! No need!” 

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, “It’s time to start.” 

Shen Xingsui was shocked, “The camera has been rolling since then…?” 

The staff saw his embarrassment, and chuckled lightly, “Ahaha, don’t worry, it hasn’t started yet.” 

The cameraman gestured, “The recording starts… now.” 

Thankfully, the previous conversation wasn’t recorded. If Zhang Chi’s and Fu Jinxiao’s 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 Xingsui’s complicated expression when they came in, and they smelled something suspicious going on.

[What’s the matter, what’s the matter?]    

[Did I miss something already?]

[Hahaha, it’s 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, “There 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.” 

Shen Xingsui innocently asked, “What mission?” 

The staff member took out a golden card from the box and handed it to him, saying, “Find the secret treasure, seal it up completely, and prevent evil forces from using the treasure to do evil. There’s 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.”

Shen Xingsui was already quite experienced with this kind of game. “You said something about ‘identity’ before, so there should be guests with special ones, right?” 

“That’s right, there are villains among you who want to get the secret treasure. They wanted to rein chaos upon the world.” The staff said in a righteous tone, “Please be careful and choose your friends carefully! Don’t be fooled by the villains!” 

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 guests’ live broadcast in excitement. 

[Shen Xingchen isn’t the villain.]

[Neither is Teacher Tuya.]

[Ning Ze is a good guy this time.]

[Oh, oh, oh! Mr. Fu’s 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.

[It’s a 1v9 my friends!]

[Ohhh I’m so excited to see what’s going to happen!]

[Can the good guys win this time?]

[It will be difficult! If Mr. Fu really got the villain, then it’s a hell-level difficulty for the good guys.]

The other guests didn’t know what kind of difficulty was waiting for them, and they all got a good night’s 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, “It’s a new day and a new beginning. Everyone worked hard yesterday, so today, all our guests will start to regroup and become partners.” 

“The rules for choosing a partner this time are also different from the past,” The director continued with a smile, “We have adopted a new model, so that we make things exciting and fulfill the audiences’ wishes.” 

The guests asked, “What method?”

The director further elaborated, “On WeChat and Weibo, including the live broadcast platform, we opened the voting system yesterday. The official voting ended before 4 o’clock this morning. The 120 million viewers who participated in the event voted together on which partner they wanted to see the most!” 

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 – it was a look of anticipation of excitement.  “Now let’s announce the four groups with the highest number of votes.” 

Shen Xingchen lowered his voice and said to Shen Xingsui, “Who do you think is the most likely to be grouped with you?” 

Shen Xingsui was not sure. “Well, I don’t think I can guess, because I’m not sure about the audiences’ preferences.” 

“Anyway, it’s impossible for us to get grouped up,” Shen Xingchen carelessly said, “Because we both are so smart, if we team up, wouldn’t we be invincible?” 

“…”

Shen Xingsui has always been envious of brother’s self-confidence. “Yes.”

Shen Xingchen smiled and puffed up his chest.

The director began to announce the combination in no particular order, “The first group is Teacher Tuya and Teacher Li. Their team got 13.45 million votes!”

Everyone applauded.     

The director looked at Shen Xingsui and Shen Xingchen mysteriously again, coughed lightly and said, “The second combination is the combination of Shen Xingsui and Shen Xingchen. They got 43.21 million votes!”

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, I’m dying of laughter.]

Shen Xingchen rubbed his chin and said, “It seems that the two of us are bound to have a rich harvest today. Let the audience see how good we are.”

For no apparent reason, Shen Xingsui felt a little ominous. Finally he nodded and said, “Alright.” 

The director announced the remaining team. 

Fu Jinxiao & Anran: 63.29 million votes,

Li Xu’an & 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?]

[It’s 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?]
