Chapter 251: Mission Issued
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The program continued. The executive director shouted through the loudspeaker, “Next, I’ll issue a mission. The duration this time is still a week. The guests will bring the audience to tour the ancient city. Just like before, the guests will think of ways to earn money to maintain a week of travel.”
After a pause, he continued, “This time, we’ll still act in groups.”
As soon as he said this, Xiao Han’s eyes immediately lit up and he said, “I want to be in the same group as Yu Su. No one can s.n.a.t.c.h it from me!”
“I want to be in the same group as Yu Su too.” Chen Ling watched eagerly.
“And me!” Meng Xi looked at Yu Su pitifully and said quickly.
Next, other than Yu Ruo, Yu Miao, Ye Chang, and Yu Zheng, everyone else expressed their willingness to team up with Yu Su.
It was not that Ye Chang and Yu Zheng did not want to team up with Yu Su, but they knew that Yu Su would not choose them. They could only watch bitterly as the others fought over Yu Su.
However, to everyone’s surprise, the executive director changed the topic and said with a smile, “The rules this time have taken into account the audience’s opinion. We can’t form teams freely. We might disappoint everyone.”
“All!” Meng Xi exclaimed with a sad expression.
The others were also dejected. If they could not form a team freely, the chances of them being in the same team as Yu Su would decrease.
“Then how do we form a team?” Ye Chang asked.
Ye Chang and Yu Zheng’s eyes lit up. If it were any other way, it would not be impossible for them to team up with Yu Su. At the very least, it would be fair.
The executive director continued, “This team will be formed by drawing lots. The team leader will be chosen first, and then the team leader will draw the members until they have a complete team.”
This method could create more surprises.
After all, this was the last episode. It was very easy for the audience to get tired of it. Changing to a new and strange setting would make the audience stay.
Therefore, this was also the result of the production team’s discussion.
Xiao Han sighed helplessly.
The remaining people who were on good terms with Yu Su were also dejected and did not want to draw lots to form a team.
However, there was no choice. Since the production team had already decided, they could only abide by the rules of the variety show.
Yu Zheng was pleasantly surprised and secretly looked at Yu Su.
He prayed in his heart that he would definitely be in the same group as Yu Su. This way, he could also feel the joy of being in the same group with her.
“How are we doing this?” Chen Ling asked curiously.
The director gestured behind him, and someone immediately nodded.
Then, the a.s.sistant walked forward with a transparent gla.s.s box. The gla.s.s box was empty now.
Another person took out a piece of paper with the names of the guests printed on it and walked up.
He displayed each piece of paper in front of the camera. The names were Yu Su, Xiao Han, Chen Ling, Meng Xi, Yu Zheng, Yu Ruo, Yu Miao, Zhao Duo, Ye Chang, Ding Chen, and Shen Chun.
Eleven pieces of paper, the same size.
The a.s.sistant folded the piece of paper and stuffed it into the gla.s.s case. Finally, he took out a blank piece of paper. “This one represents the mystery guest.”
After he stuffed all the notes into the box, he shook them hard to mix them together.
When the guests saw this, they were also looking forward to it.
Meng Xi asked in surprise, “Director, there’s also a mystery guest this time? He’s so mysterious that even her name can’t be exposed?”
As soon as this was said, the guests looked at the director expectantly.
Initially, they thought that there were only eleven of them. They did not expect someone else to come.
The executive director smiled. “The guest is indeed very mysterious. It’s not that I’m unwilling to tell you who it is, but I don’t know who it is either. You’ll know later.”
“You don’t know who it is either?” Chen Ling exclaimed.
What guest? They couldn’t even reveal it to the executive director?
Everyone was also very curious.
“The mystery guest this time will depend on fate. After we enter the ancient city, we’ll find a commoner according to the clues. As long as he agrees to be a guest, he’ll be the mystery guest this time.”
The executive director explained unhurriedly to whet the audience’s appet.i.te.
The method of choosing this mystery guest was proposed by the sponsors of this episode. There was probably already a candidate.
It was just that he did not tell the audience for the time being. This way, there would be more suspense.
The number of people now was singular, so it was not easy to group them into groups. It was not bad to have such an ordinary person as a guest in the show as well.
After hearing this, everyone was interested. This gameplay was really novel.
Yu Su’s heart skipped a beat and she had a guess.
The person behind the scenes had chosen the ancient city as the location because he had a plan. Could it be that this ordinary guest was part of the plan?
Or could it be that this ordinary guest was sent by the person behind it?
The executive director continued, “I’ll draw the first team leader first, then this team leader will draw the team members until the team is full. Then, I’ll draw the second team leader and so on. There are a total of twelve guests, divided into three groups..”
