Chapter 304: I Suspect This Is For More Online Traffic

The mothers continued with their yoga session, and the fathers did their workout session.
The staff had placed four cameras for them.
In the Festival Group’s office, the staff discussed the progress of the show.
“Wasn’t this variety show intended for the celebrities to experience life as it was in the 1900s? How did it change suddenly?”
“I think it gradually began to change from a long time ago. We need to pull back.”
“But the audience loves it, though. The traffic hasn’t decreased at all. If
anything, more viewers are joining. Tomorrow is the last day anyway. Maybe we can just leave it be.”
“The show is ending so fast! It feels like it just began yesterday!”
“Well… yoga and fitness are necessary, and it is important for the guests to have the experience of the 90s, too. The tasks were already decided before. When they are done, I will announce the last mission. Let’s wait for the
Phoenix Bicycle brand to show up.”
“Director, should we hold the mission in the empty barren land to the west of the village or the dirt road in the north area?”
“The dirt road will do fine.”
The last task for this episode was a bicycle competition. Each family would be given bicycles. The guests would have to ride on the dirt road.
The Festival Group had already prepared everything with safety precautions in place. Those who didn’t know how to ride a bicycle could choose to give up.
In the fields, the mothers of the families were lined up in two neat rows. Lin Wan led the yoga session as usual. One camera faced the mothers, while the other one was placed at the side.
About 10 meters away, the fathers did their fitness workout session, led by Michael. Two cameras were placed on each side of them.
[Which livestream are all of you watching? I want to do yoga, but I also want to work out. What should I do?]
[I am trying to do both together. Yoga for a few minutes, and then some fitness workout. I am so tired now.]
[I suspect this is like a competition. Both the fathers and the mothers are side by side today. Are they trying to see who will garner more traffic?] [This is also a mission, right? Let’s see who has more viewers!]
[As I said yesterday, it’s the Festival Group’s strategy. If the viewers aren’t in one livestream room, they will be in another. The Festival Group benefits either way.]
[Maybe the guests want to do it willingly.]
[Next round is about to start!]
The music played to signal the start of the next session, and the viewers were ready.
The small speakers that Lin Wan had brought with her were put to good use. However, Li Yanchen had stolen one of the speakers, which now blared music for the fathers’ workout session.
Michael let a workout session in tune with the song. Soon, the number of viewers on his livestream increased.
The children jumped at the back while the parents continued with their sessions. They jumped up and down and tried to imitate the workout routines as much as possible.
After doing it for half an hour, Li Zekai was exhausted. “Feifei, let’s just go and play. I can’t do this anymore.”
Feifei’s little legs stopped jumping. “Alright.” He was panting with effort.
The two kids held hands and walked a little away. They found twigs and stones and began to play in the dirt.
Ning Weiwei also stopped with her yoga poses and followed her friends to the field.
Wheatley couldn’t do it any longer. She looked at Li Zexuan and Ning Xiaoxiao. They were still doing their fitness workout diligently. Wheatley felt she couldn’t give up, especially since her father was leading the workout session. She gritted her teeth and continued with the exercises.
Ning Xiaoxiao and Li Zexuan were already used to working out. Half an hour of exercise was nothing for them.
[Xuanxuan and the kids are all following Michael’s workout routine. I have made up my mind.]
[So Xiaoxiao also prefers to work out.]
[Am I the only one who feels that yoga is more difficult than working out? I can’t even do most of the yoga poses!]
[I also think that yoga is difficult. Working out is more about jumping and sweating.]
[It’s not just about jumping, you know. You might pull a muscle if you don’t do it properly.]
[Yes. If you don’t do it properly, you won’t reap the benefits. Follow Michael closely. Don’t mess up.]
[I told you, I don’t like jumping around.]
Compared to the workout session, the yoga session was a lot quieter.
[No one is even talking.]
[They are all doing yoga diligently. As you should be doing, too. No time to type.]
[I am still a newbie in such stuff. I need to watch it first.]
[The workout session is so lively.]
[Everyone can take a break when the song ends. Comment on which one you like the most.]
Occasionally, a few comments would pop up expressing their support for either the yoga or the workout session. Mostly, the viewers showed their support for both groups.
The village was peaceful as usual.
Meanwhile, Ji Hanzhi waited impatiently for Lin Wan to leave the village.
When it was time for the guests to leave at the end of the show, they usually converged at the entrance and took a moment to say goodbye to each other. That would be her chance to approach Lin Wan.
She filled a cup with water in the bathroom and tried to aim and throw the liquid. She needed to be accurate because she would only get one chance.
Every day, Lulu dropped the two children at their schools and sent a short video of them to Ji Hanzhi. She always sent her a text when she went to pick the children up from school in the evening.
Every morning, Ji Hanzhi received Lulu’s message and a video of her children. She felt shaken. Her children were miserable because of Lin Wan. She resolved to finish whatever she had come here to do.
At 3 in the afternoon, an announcement blared from the loudspeakers. The guests were requested to gather at the north of the village at 4 p.m. sharp.
They had just finished their session and were taking a break. They were a little surprised that they still had a mission to complete.
Xiao Tianlin was exhausted. He only wanted to lie down.
“Is it another competition?” asked Zheng Kuo. He was still panting. “Didn’t the Festival Group see her working out the whole morning and afternoon?”
“Yeah, but this was our own decision. I think the Festival Group already had a plan before we started working out. Anyway, there is still time,” said Ning Jiangyuan.
“Oh, hahaha.” Xiao Tianlin laughed. “I have that reward from yesterday. I can opt-out if I want to.”
“What if this mission is like yesterday? What if it is to compete and eat?” asked Michael.
Xiao Tianlin’s smile disappeared. “I was just joking. I will obviously participate. I will save that reward for something else. I hope it’s a fun competition.”
“Dream on,” said Zheng Kuo as he poured some water on his head to cool down. “From experience, it’s bound to be something that makes us run or exert ourselves physically.”
“We’ll see how things go,” said Xiao Tianlin. “Oh, they’re done too!” He got up and walked toward Xia Mo.
After an hour and a half of yoga, Xia MO felt much calmer.
Lin Wan was already used to the sudden missions planned by the Festival Group. Fortunately, most missions that were announced out of the blue tended to be fairly easy.
“What mission?! My legs can’t take it anymore,” said Xia MO as she lay down on the yoga mat.
“Teacher Xia, your Xiao is here,” said Tao Jingyuan.
Xia MO slowly sat upright. “Oh, yeah! Xiao has that reward. I don’t have to participate if he opts out!” She got up and walked to Xiao Tianlin. “Hubby!” she shouted..
