After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry-Chapter 64 - : Variety Show Reversal
Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Variety Show Reversal
As she spoke, the rigid steel rod in her hand bent like a plastic toy, slowly bending until it finally snapped into two with a “crack.”
“It’s just a porcelain bowl, who wouldn’t know how to crush it.”
“How about this, I’ll give you a performance of splitting two logs with my bare hands!”
“Stones? How could such fragile things exist in this world.”
“I won’t smash your iron pot. I’m worried you won’t have anything to cook with.”
“Oh right, that Apple guy, I won’t crush this thing. I like cleanliness. Next time, I’ll perform splitting a durian for you!”
...
Ji Tian went through the motions methodically, like ticking off items on a checklist.
They all cracked up, staring at her pale and delicate hands, wondering what kind of monster this person was and if she ate spinach.
Ji Weinan was downright stunned. After witnessing the mess at her feet, he swiftly recalled the past seventeen years, checking if he had ever been disrespectful toward her. Some apologies had better be said early, or else he would only have the mountain top to live on.
Quan Jingyou swallowed hard. No wonder she was so amazing at gaming, she had Iron Hands! Now, he wanted to learn the Iron Sand Palm. He was so adorable; his beloved Sister Tian would definitely not refuse him, right?
Gong Yu lightly raised an eyebrow, his lips curling into a smile.
Qin Jiangsheng watched the whole scene with no expression. Once he knew she was alright, he turned and left.
Feng Juanjuan cast a reluctant glance in Ji Tian’s direction. This was unbelievable, but she could only attribute it to natural strength and quickly followed after Qin Jiangsheng.
Bai Tingyu let out a light chuckle: “Interesting, Ji Tian has really brought me quite a few ‘surprises’ recently.”
A sense of crisis immediately surged in Shen Zhiyi’s heart. Even though she had read the original story, there wasn’t much written about Ji Tian, with most of the plot centered around her. She remembered that the Ji Family participated in this show because Ji Weinan followed her, and he even brought his sister, but unluckily, they were the first to be eliminated.
008 couldn’t have malfunctioned at a more inappropriate time, right in the middle of the plot collapse, and after the farce ended, Bai Tingyu also left.
The live comments went crazy:
[Damn, is that Ji Tian?]
[I apologize, I was blind. I take back my last comment. That strength could crush my head…]
[Something’s not right with her, I suggest a checkup…]
[Is the guy who said he would live stream eating poop still here? We are all lined up waiting for your broadcast.]
Eight men collectively fell silent, and then turned around quietly: “Sorry for the disturbance.”
They couldn’t compete, not in the slightest. Not even with an extra life.
Yan Ming saw her side of the venue nearly exploding with enthusiasm and rushed over quickly, only to find that everyone had already gone.
He looked at the barrage of comments asking whether Ji Tian was possessed by Popeye, as they desperately needed an explanation from the person involved.
The comments asked, so he echoed their words.
“Ji Tian, the viewers are asking if you ate spinach before coming here…”
Facing the camera, Ji Tian smiled confidently: “I know you all are curious about my mysterious identity. Let’s lay it out on the table; in fact, I am from Light Planet, known as Jenima Shuai Debuyao Ultraman. If you don’t believe it, once my castle is built, you can buy a ticket to visit my home.”
Yan Ming: “…”
Everyone: “…”
Viewers: “…”
It was silence at its finest, as if silence itself had opened the door to more silence.
Exhausted from the overexertion, Ji Tian felt somewhat sleepy. She looked towards Yan Ming: “Who gets the secret reward? Am I in the group that gets to eat first?”
Yan Ming shook his head, and the staff pointed the camera at him, “No, the team led by Teacher Dai Qin finished their meal first, you were the last.”
Ji Tian, “…”
“What do you mean, is this thing timed?!”
Yan Ming nodded without a shred of conscience, “That’s right, the longer it takes you to eat, the further you are from getting the reward.”
Damn!
[If I remember correctly, she ate two full bowls of rice, right? If the old lady doesn’t come back she might even go for another bowl, not leaving any chance for others.]
[That’s the spirit, is she really from a wealthy family? She’s acting like she came from the slums. If the old lady doesn’t return on time, she won’t even get to eat any shred of potato. She’s too familiar with the place, treating it like her own home, hahaha.]
[Family, I just checked, she wasn’t wrong, she really is ‘Ultraman’, she’s building castles!]
[Who the hell got kicked in the head by a donkey to go spend money visiting the Ultraman castle?! Whoever goes, I’ll laugh at them, paying the stupidity tax, right.]
Ji Weinan also found it unbelievable, “I only ate two steamed buns, and still couldn’t keep up with their speed.”
Yan Ming politely smiled, “If you hadn’t treated the steamed buns like sacred peaches and cherished them so much, maybe you would’ve been first.”
Ji Weinan gave an awkward smile, why even bring something like that up? It was annoying, making him seem as if he had never seen steamed buns before.
The mysterious reward already belonged to Shen Zhiyi, so talking about it any further was pointless. Ji Tian casually asked, “What’s the reward? Can you reveal it?”
Yan Ming still shook his head, “No, unless their team is willing to share it with you. But I can remind you, don’t try too hard.”
You might end up making a wedding dress for someone else.
His aim with this program was just one, to mess with the mindset.
The other participants were frowning, trying to make sense of Yan Ming’s words.
[What does it mean? What reward did Shen Zhiyi’s team get? It feels like a trump card.]
[Are they playing for such high stakes? How can they win without going all out? Sitting and waiting to be eliminated? Could the reward be the ability to eliminate a team at will? That’d be terrifying.]
[Impossible, Director Yan isn’t that foolish. Let’s wait for the third task.]
Ji Tian was left speechless by Yan Ming’s answer.
Isn’t it obvious not to try too hard? She would actively heed the call, not trying to stand out, just being a ‘fishing’ slacker.
She walked out expressionlessly, “No need to tell me, I’m well aware, crappy show!”
Soon the third task arrived: collecting money.
And there was an added twist.
Those with houses to live in had to pay one night’s rent, a total for fifty-one nights, with the first day free and starting from the second day.
For breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they could no longer scrounge off local households but had to fend for themselves. In the village surroundings, there wasn’t much to buy; normally, local households would go to the market in town to buy enough rice and vegetables for nearly a week.
And those without a house didn’t have to pay anything; the program only distributed five hundred yuan, scattered in different places. If they didn’t get enough money, and couldn’t afford the rent for the second day, they’d have to move out.
Regarding making money, the program team was still somewhat fair; you could get by on your own means for a decent life, or exchange money for chickens, ducks, fish, and other filling foods in the village.
[Wow, a difficulty upgrade. Those who found houses can only stay for free for one night. Director Yan is really sneaky with this move. Now it’s hard to tell who will be able to stay in a house in the end; money equals everything. With five hundred yuan, you need at least two hundred to last the next four days, and that’s without counting food.]
[Two hundred is not enough; a minimum of three hundred is necessary for a group to break through and win. But with five groups, how can they let just one person take three hundred? And Shen Zhiyi has a mysterious reward too.]
[Really interesting, I want to see what they will do.]
Ji Weinan was so furious he could hardly handle it. The hard-earned house could only be stayed in for one night for free, “Damn it, that’s too mean!”
