When there were only two permanent female guests on the program, not only would the audience compare the two of them, the two of them would also compete with each other whether it was in the open or in the dark. For example, right now, everyone's gazes, all the cameras were aimed at Hu Yuefei alone.
Lin Xi looked at the skirt she was wearing, and suddenly said, "Consort Yue is really beautiful today, especially when she walked out from the bushes while wearing the dress just now, she looked exactly like a fairy."
Zhou Fang also said, "That's right, I, an old man, am completely stunned." He is the oldest of the resident guests, and often teases with his age.
Hearing Zhou Fang's words, Han Xian and Gao Junyi also agreed.
However, Zhang Yu asked naively: "Sister Yue Fei, you're wearing such a beautiful dress, how are you going to climb the tree with us and wade through the water to find treasures?"
Everyone was focused on lamenting about Hu Yuefei's beauty just now, but after hearing Zhang Yu's question, they suddenly realised her attire was not right.
This was a wild program, it was possible for people to run, jump, or even climb trees and wade through water, so everyone would choose to wear loose and comfortable sports attire, but Hu Yuefei's clothes were beautiful, but it was very inconvenient for her.
Hu Yuefei's originally smiling face suddenly turned awkward.
The program did remind her to try and choose the right clothes for the next two days. This was because according to the program's rules, once the camera was taken, all the artists could no longer obtain anything from the outside, including attire.
But today was her first time appearing. Between stunning the audience and being comfortable, she finally chose the former.
The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat tense.
Just then, Zhou Fang suddenly laughed and patted Zhang Yu's shoulder and said: "Little friend, you're still young and don't understand, beauties do not need to climb trees or wade, just leave this work to us rough men."
The others also laughed, and the atmosphere returned to normal.
The director quickly took this opportunity to announce that everyone had drawn lots and divided it into groups. Thus, the six of them were randomly split into red and blue teams. Gao Junyi, Zhang Yu and Hu Yuefei were in the Red Team, while Zhou Fang, Han Xian and Lin Xi were in the blue pair.
The director gave each team a map and announced the rules of the game.
The two teams could set off in separate directions according to the map, or travel together to search for treasures. On the way, they would randomly encounter various checkpoints, and after passing, they would be able to obtain supplies or clues regarding the treasures. The supplies included the food, tents, and other field aids that everyone needed within the next 48 hours.
As long as someone found the treasure and brought it to the production team for confirmation, the game would end. If neither team found the treasure, then the game would automatically end after 48 hours.
The two guests for this episode were hidden at the roadside checkpoints. Whoever won the first hurdle would be the one to snatch the guests away. Every guest would have clues regarding the treasure in their hands.
This was because this was the first round of the second season. In order to allow the guests to adapt to the game faster, the program team had purposely lowered the difficulty of the game.
There were three brocades in the password box that could assist the game, and the password was hidden in a digital matrix. As long as he undid the password, he would be able to get the brocade sack.
However, when the two teams took the piece of cryptographic paper with the data matrix written on it, they were all dumbfounded.
There were four blank spots on the code paper that had been coiled together with a red circle, which was the password for the code box.
However, it was already a waste of time to solve the usual number alone, but now they had to solve a matrix, and the densely packed numbers and spaces on it looked like a maze. How long was this going to take?
With a bitter face, everyone took out pen and paper and began to calculate.
But the Red Team in front of him suddenly jumped with joy. Zhang Yu pushed the password paper into Hu Yuefei's bosom and said: "Big sister Top student, I'm depending on you!"
Gao Junyi suddenly remembered the introduction that the program team gave to Hu Yuefei, he threw the pen in his hand, and patted on Hu Yuefei's shoulder: "I'll count on you!"
Since Hu Yuefei dared to buy a bookworm's shop, she naturally had the skills. She didn't need to calculate at all, she immediately filled in the form on the paper.
In fact, this array seemed very scary, but it was not difficult for each of the nine palaces to be numbered. It could not even be considered a medium difficulty level.
As if she was blessed with help, Hu Yuefei filled half of the page with a "shua" sound. In the middle of the page, she even took the time to raise her head and glance at the Blue Team standing across from her. She saw that the three of them didn't even move their pens. It seemed like they had no clue what was going on.
She was secretly pleased with herself, and wanted to take the chance to show off, so she asked Zhou Fang: "Does Teacher Zhou need any help?"
But before Zhou Fang could finish his sentence, he heard a light click, and the safe they were in was opened by Bai Nianxi.
"Looks like I won't need to trouble you." Lin Xi answered for Zhou Fang.
Zhou Fang laughed towards the camera: "Look, our team members are too outstanding, they don't even give me a chance to display my wisdom."
The others were also amazed. "Awesome, so fast."
Zhang Yu even stretched out his neck, and said exaggeratedly, "So you're the real bookworm!"
Hu Yuefei, who had just been introduced by the program team as a "genuine bookworm", felt as if she had been slapped in the face. She clenched the password paper in her hand, which was still half empty, and started to tremble from anger.
Before Lin Xi dropped out of school, although she could not be considered a bookworm, she was still one of the three great students who received scholarships every year.
In the game, time was the best time. After taking out the brocade bags from the password box, they didn't waste any time and immediately set off to find treasures.
On the other side, maybe because Hu Yuefei was nervous, she got stuck in the last few battles and spent more than ten minutes compared to Lin Xi's group before leaving.
Although Zhang Yu and Gao Junyi were anxious in their hearts, they relied on Hu Yuefei to solve the problem for them in the end. Thus, they did not complain at all, and did not stop to cheer her on.
After getting the brocade sack, they immediately set off. But before she had walked a hundred meters, Hu Yuefei suddenly cried out, and her clothes were wrapped in tree branches, and hung on the tree.
Zhang Yu and Gao Junyi immediately rushed over to help, but they did not dare to say anything further. It took them close to twenty minutes to save Hu Yuefei.
Gao Junyi's impression of Hu Yuefei was not bad, and people would unconsciously increase their tolerance to people with high looks. Therefore, even though Hu Yuefei had caused a lot of trouble along the way due to the unconvenience of her dress, Gao Junyi had still taken care of her, and even lied nonsense about her foresight. At least she did not wear high heels.
But Gao Junyi was happy to be his escort, but Zhang Yu was unhappy.
When Hu Yuefei's skirt was once again hung on a tree branch, Zhang Yu directly said: "I suggest Elder Sister to cut the skirt a little shorter. Look at the whole road, we haven't even passed a single barrier, but how many times have we helped you tidy your skirt? This is too much of a waste of time."
Hu Yuefei's face became ugly, but what Zhang Yu said was the truth, she had delayed the progress of the team, if this continued, he would lose to Bai Nianxi.
She thought about it and decided to cut her skirt to the length of her knee. Although it looked a bit out of line, it could at least walk normally.
At this time, Team Blue, who had departed twenty minutes earlier than Red Team, had already received the temporary guest's information at the first checkpoint.
They found a large block of ice at the first checkpoint. In the middle of the block was a frozen mobile phone with a phone number that could be used to contact the guest.
If he wanted to take out the phone in the ice, he would have to melt the ice first. However, the block of ice was at least 20 centimeters thick. Even if it was left at room temperature for half a day, he wasn't sure if it could be melted completely.
Zhou Fang thought that maybe, if he put the ice cube in the water, it would melt faster, but Han Xian started to try to drill wood to get the fire. They hadn't found the materials yet, and they couldn't bring the fire seed in from the outside either, so for the time being, they could only drill wood to get the fire and use the fire to melt the ice cubes.
Just as the two were about to make a move, Lin Xi suggested, "I see that there's still a layer of protective shell outside the phone, so let's think of a way to directly shatter the ice and then take out the phone. That should be possible too right?"
Zhou Fang smacked his head and said, "Of course you can, Nian Xi you are too smart!"
Lin Xi replied humbly in embarrassment: "I was just speaking nonsense, I coincidentally bumped into it."
Zhou Fang and Han Xian followed Lin Xi's instructions, and each of them picked up a rock to start digging, and after knocking dozens of times, they finally took out their phone from the ice.
With only one number remaining in their hands, the three of them dialed it. Immediately, a light female voice came from the other side, "Guess who I am? "I guess there will be a reward."
"Ding Xiaoyuan!" Lin Xi immediately recognized her voice and asked excitedly: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming to participate in this episode?"
Ding Xiaoyuan laughed and said: "We'll talk after we meet. I'm at the seventh checkpoint on the map right now, come find me quickly."
After Ding Xiaoyuan finished speaking, she immediately hung up.
Although Lin Xi did not know why she suddenly became a temporary guest, being able to come to the scene today made people very happy.
The contact immediately became excited, heading towards the direction of the seventh checkpoint on the map. He walked forward with the wind in his steps, and not long later, he actually left Zhou Fang and Han Xian behind.
Zhou Fang gasped for breath and called out to her from behind: "I say Xi, you're a girl, can you save some dignity for Teacher Zhou? I can't keep up with you leaving so fast."
Lin Xi finally reacted, she was so anxious that she forgot to take care of her teammates, "I'm sorry, Teacher Zhou. "Why don't we rest here for a while. I'm also tired."
Speaking of Lin Xi's current strength, she had even honed it from the production of "The harem". In order to speed up the filming process, the filming intensity was very high. At first, she was unable to bear it, but after a while, she was finally able to temper herself. Even after filming for an entire day, she did not feel too tired.
Lin Xi and the other two rested at the roadside for a while, then rushed to the seventh checkpoint in one go.
The seventh test tested luck.
The production team placed two cards in front of the three of them. One card said "Go," while the other card said "Stay", requesting their team to select one from the two cards. If he drew "go", they could bring Ding Xiaoyuan away; if they drew "stay", Ding Xiaoyuan would automatically become a member of the other team.
Lin Xi was extremely against this rule: "If we were to choose to 'stay', wouldn't it mean that from the time we selected 'stay', we would have been engaged to others the entire time?"
The director said meaningfully, "Sometimes life can be so unpredictable. You think it's yours, but it's often not."
Lin Xi, "..." What she said actually made a lot of sense.
Han Xian suggested, "Why don't we call over Red Team and smoke it? They picked the wrong ones so they could leave us the others. "
"What if they draw 'go'?" Zhou Fang did not agree, "We still have to draw on our own, no matter what the result is, at least we still have some power."
The three of them agreed that since Lin Xi and Ding Xiaoyuan's relationship was good, the heavy responsibility of drawing the card would be given to Lin Xi.
Before Lin Xi began to draw, Zhou Fang stood in front of him and used all his strength to wink at him, trying to make Ding Xiaoyuan see his eyes, so that he could give him a hint in secret.
But Ding Xiaoyuan looked at him for a while and asked worriedly, "Teacher Zhou, are there bugs in your eyes?"
Zhou Fang wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
Without any prompts, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief at the card before using her intuition to pull out one card. When she flipped it open, she realized that it was actually "Go!"
Everyone started to clap and cheer. Zhou Fang thought that Lin Xi had the Lucky Hand, and suggested that she should take the rest.
After passing the seventh checkpoint, not only did the Blue Team obtain a member, they also received a large bag of supplies.
After that, they brought Ding Xiaoyuan and passed two more tests. Although they did not manage to find any clues to the treasure, they did obtain a lot of supplies, so at the very least, they did not need to worry about food for the next two days.
Seeing that it was already noon, the four decided to eat lunch first before continuing with their treasure hunt.
However, when they wanted to cook, they discovered that there was no cooking utensils in their supplies. At this moment, Teacher Zhou, who had a lot of experience in life, picked up a large stone that was shaped like a stone socket by the water's edge and used it as a stone pot. Moreover, Teacher Zhou personally made everyone a bowl of noodles with a stone pot.
Teacher Zhou's culinary skills were still worthy of praise. After they had all eaten the bun, they all laid down in the shade of the tree in a lazy manner. They quickly and happily decided to take an afternoon nap after they pulled out their blankets, and then set out again after they had recovered enough energy.
The last few people were woken up by the directing team. The director was afraid that they would sleep until the next morning.
After the four of them packed up briefly, they set off again. Then, at the thirteenth checkpoint, they met with Red Team on a narrow path.
At this time, the Red Team had also become four people, and the new member's name was Wen Chuan, the Little Heavenly King of the singing world.
After the free music was downloaded from the internet, the recording industry slowly started to decline. However, this didn't have much of an impact on Wen Chuan, because of his huge fan base, it would be sold out quickly after every release.
He was so popular, not only because of his musical style, but also because of his face. In the entertainment circle, besides talent, one also had to rely on looks.
The mission of the thirteenth checkpoint is rock climbing.
As long as the four members of each team were able to complete the climbing within the allotted time, the mission would be considered as completed. The rock climbing site was a small cliff not far from here.
As the Red and Blue teams arrived at the thirteenth checkpoint at the same time, the rules within the checkpoint were temporarily changed to: Whichever team completed the least time to climb the rocks, the teams would obtain the materials for the checkpoint.
Inside the Red Team, Gao Junyi was a fitness expert, he was like a little monkey, his four limbs were extremely nimble, while Wen Chuan was a jump singer, his stamina was even more so. Hu Yuefei's weakness was unexpected for their team, so the remaining team members were able to finish climbing the cliff without any pressure.
On the other hand, in the Blue Team that Lin Xi was in, Lin Xi, Zhou Fang, and Ding Xiaoyuan, the three of them were all afraid of heights, and only Han Xian could climb out by himself. However, Han Xian said that the three belts would not move, so they had no choice but to give up on this hurdle.
After giving up, they did not leave in a hurry. Instead, they took out the peanuts, melon seeds, and fruits they had earned from the previous hurdles, eating while watching the rock climbing show.
As Lin Xi watched, she suddenly realized that something was amiss. Wasn't this Gao Junyi taking care of Hu Yuefei a little too much?
Before he climbed the cliff, he took the initiative to help Hu Yuefei tie the rope and also fasten the lock. During the climb, he also relied on his good physique to come out empty-handed to pull Hu Yuefei.
Wasn't he getting too familiar with it too quickly?
Lin Xi was worried that she would become Qin Yu's cuckold.
Just then, Zhou Fang, who was at the side eating a melon seed, suddenly touched her and said: "I say, stop looking at this handsome Wen Chuan, what's so good about always looking at Hu Yuefei?"
Lin Xi came back to reality and also grabbed the melon seeds, saying, "Because I already have a fiance. If I look at too many other men, he'll be jealous."
Zhou Fang clicked his tongue and said, "Why am I here to participate in a program? I also need to be fed dog food."
Lin Xi suddenly thought about the history of Zhou Fang's marriage. He had been single ever since he divorced his ex-wife over ten years ago.
Lin Xi comforted him and said: "Teacher Zhou, you are such a good person, you will definitely meet a better person."
"I can't see him." Zhou Fang suddenly put down the melon seeds and sighed with emotion, "When I was your age, I always felt that the next one would definitely be better than the one before. But slowly, after reaching my current age, I realized that the best one would always be the one I missed the first."
