Chapter 69: 068 The Astronaut Who Fears Ghosts (Please follow, please vote monthly!)

In the end, during the first challenge, a total of 7 children reached the endpoint within the designated time, the entrance to Shepherd's Flute Village.

The first place in this challenge was taken by Lu Weizhuang.

His triumphant and majestic air, combined with his exceptionally mature face, made him look like he was reviewing a victorious parade.

However, Yue Yipei, watching him at the side, couldn't help shaking her head inwardly.

Hmph, such a childish brat.

That's not how you earn points.

This was already the third time she had participated in the third round in a century, and the program's tricks were well-known to the genius martial arts girl.

Yue Yipei snorted coldly.

"Now, I announce that the player who gets the award for the best performance in this hiking challenge is—"

Yue Yipei slightly curled the corners of her lips.

"Little friend, Xia Nuo!"

"Yay! It's me!"

Xia Nuo jumped for joy, and at that very moment, the figure of the century's strongest seemed petrified, perhaps never to experience such joy or sorrow again in this life.

Why didn't they follow the script! Are you fooling a child!

"The purpose of hiking is to appreciate the scenery along the way, to observe the beautiful mountains and rivers. In the eyes of the judges, Xia Nuo truly treated this scenic challenge as a travel-like experience, so she deserves an additional reward!"

At the same time, the live broadcast's chat room started to have viewers commenting:

[Is the program team trying to make Xia Nuo the Moe King under this pretext?]

[What happened to the promise of absolute fairness!]

[No wonder Gugu Sister didn't appear in the third round]

As Xia Nuo's reputation seemed about to be twisted by the program team's outrageous move, Uncle Da Dong remained calm and continued to explain, "So, what is the reward for Nuo Nuo? Let's see—"

With the sound of a salute, Teacher Gugu made a dazzling entrance!

"Happy nutrition, healthy growth! In addition to the luggage they carried, Nuo Nuo will also get an extra box of delicious and soft Sunli Garden French-style little bread! Nine layers of nutrition, seven flavors, tasty enough to take off on the spot!"

Teacher Gugu, wearing the traditional attire of the Meow tribe, held a box of brand-sponsored products and began to introduce them.

The advertisement was so blatant, it looked like the program team really was short on funds...

However, since they didn't give Xia Nuo any extra survival points, and it didn't affect the final result, this kind of award with a strong subjective nature didn't cause dissatisfaction among the crowd.

Shepherd's Flute Village was built by the mountains and beside the water, with lush greenery and peach blossoms creating a scenic interplay of green and pink. The traditional stilted buildings of the mountain village and the Meow tribe's distinctive clothing were very eye-catching.

Not far away, the melodious sound of flutes and the mooing of cattle seemed to echo the meaning behind "Shepherd's Flute Village."

City children rarely had the chance to see farm animals, and as Qu Mo passed a cow on his way, trying to regain the face he lost to Xia Nuo earlier, he gathered his courage to approach the cattle-herding boy playing the flute and asked:

"Can I touch the cow?"

"Would you like to ride it?"

He used a dynamic step to engage Su Mumu in conversation:

"Mumu, when we get to the camp, can I perform a turtle spin for you, to feel my youthful, passionately burning dance moves?"

"I don't like watching turtles," Su Mumu shook her head.

"Ah, Mumu, you don't understand this at all, the so-called turtle spin is—"

"I know! In Ying language turtle is 'turtle,' in Ya language it's 'tortuga,' in Fa language it's 'tortue,' and also—"

The language prodigy and the street dance prodigy were showing off their talents non-stop, vying for the attention of the motorcycle prodigy.

However, Su Mumu's response was very calm, she watched their performance with a pleased look on her face, as if she had experienced this scene many times before.

Phew...

Of course, Fang You was also very familiar with such scenes.

After all, he had been surrounded by children like this since kindergarten, so it was nothing new to him.

It's just that kids these days get hype really easily...

The group arrived at the stilt house prepared by the production team for filming, and the first task was room allocation. Each of the ten finalists had a room of their own.

They weren't even bunking together...

This was indeed a big challenge for Nuo Nuo.

According to the order of the draw, they chose their rooms, and Xia Nuo and Fang You just happened to draw close positions. Together they picked two rooms on the third floor, with Fang You visiting Xia Nuo's room first to share the personal items each had in their bags.

"Toothbrush, toothpaste, pajamas, towel, everything's there, right... missing anything else?"

"No, everything's here."

Xia Nuo sat on the edge of the bed, obviously feeling the pressure, just swinging her legs and keeping her head down, then finally lifted her little head and tugged on Fang You's clothes:

"You You, do you think there will be ghosts here at night?"

Xia Nuo nervously fidgeted with her fingers, "Just now downstairs, I saw many scary masks."

"Don't be afraid," Fang You gently patted Xia Nuo's head and whispered in her ear, "I'll come to your room and sleep with you at night."

"But, but how will I know it's you?"

Xia Nuo mumbled grievously, "What if a ghost tries to trick me into opening the door, then you'll never have me to accompany you again."

After thinking for a moment, Fang You said, "We can have a secret signal, I'll knock three times on the door, and then you'll open it for me."

"Great! That's a good idea! It's a deal then."

Fang You affectionately stroked Xia Nuo's head.

Speaking of which, Nuo Nuo always wanted to be an astronaut but was afraid of the dark and ghosts, which I always found quite amusing...

But, no matter.

No matter if it's high-level alien civilizations, or entities like the Evil God from the Subspace, You You can handle them all for Nuo Nuo!
