Chapter 684: Chapter 27: The Cannon Fodder Starlet Who Gives Up on Struggling (Part 27)

Lu Huan’s face was filled with anger.

"I’m going to ask the director to give us an explanation!"

"Asking won’t help, they’re backing Jiang Lai, don’t go and ask for trouble."

"What can we do then? Just watch her step on our fans to increase her own popularity?"

Who doesn’t want more screen time and exposure?

Who can’t do live streaming to sell products?

Why does it have to be Jiang Lai?

The more she thought about it, the angrier and more unwilling she felt, as if she already saw Jiang Lai’s smug face after snatching her fans.

"Why are you in a hurry? Everything that needed to be done is finished for now. Let’s focus on the afternoon’s task first."

"Didn’t you say you talked with the director? What’s the task in the afternoon? I’ll prepare in advance."

Lu Ming looked ahead, pondering something, and casually said.

"Mountain climbing."

"Just mountain climbing? Nothing else?"

"You just need to know we’re going mountain climbing. Change into light clothes and shoes, and remember to pick box number three when selecting props."

Lu Huan didn’t dare to complain anymore.

She realized the sense of crisis, so she silently nodded.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, the live broadcast began recording.

[Finally!! I finally waited for this moment!! Do you understand the feeling of constantly refreshing all morning?]

[Been watching the live stream selling honey all morning, it’s quite funny, especially seeing Jiang Qu wrestling with bees]

[Hahaha, wrestling with bees, what on earth is that?]

[It’s the story of little Jiang courting death by trying to film the bee resting on Jiang Lai’s head, then getting stung with a big bump]

The live stream image shifted, and Jiang Qu’s entire face appeared on screen.

He was originally using the camera to check his face, but the broadcast started suddenly; if it weren’t for a staff reminder, he’d have no idea.

[It felt like my heart was fiercely struck by something]

[I don’t care, little Jiang just kissed me; from now on, he’s my husband]

[They’re all perverts, little Jiang, come into sister’s arms, sister will protect you]

[Your abacus beads just flew onto my face!]

[Hahaha, how can someone be both handsome and miserable? Hahaha]

[For some reason, he slightly resembles a birthday deity]

A fair and handsome face had a big bump at the center of his eyebrows.

Stung by a bee, it was now even more swollen than before.

His frowning expression was comical; he was unhappy but couldn’t muster any big expressions, and upon knowing filming had started, he quickly covered his forehead and stood behind Jiang Lai.

A height of 175 cm bent down to 150 cm.

"You’re still laughing. If it weren’t for you, would the bee have stung me?"

Seeing Jiang Lai laughing happily, Jiang Qu complained dissatisfiedly.

As he was speaking, another bee flew nearby, and despite the complaints, Jiang Qu instinctively reached out to shield Jiang Lai.

This small movement caught on camera and triggered screams from the female audience.

Lu Huan witnessed this scene and couldn’t help but sneer internally.

What’s this? Trying to imitate her and Lu Ming’s interaction?

If the audience buys such clumsy tricks, it’d be a miracle.

Besides, with Jiang Lai’s servile personality, she will never deserve anyone’s care and love.

Because she doesn’t even cherish herself.

Lu Huan waited for Jiang Qu to fail at maintaining the act and explode, so she urged the director to quickly release the task.

"After a morning of rest, I suppose everyone has recovered their energy.

In the previous round, nobody managed to secure much food, so we prepared another game segment to give everyone another opportunity to fight for today’s lunch and dinner." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

After speaking, the staff brought several suitcases and placed them on the ground.

There were eight boxes in total, each labeled with a number from one to eight.

Apart from different numbers, the boxes looked identical from the outside, showing no differences.

"Next, our task is to challenge the climb to our local tallest mountain.

The crew has placed twelve flags on the mountain; the more flags one finds, the more chance to win the right to take the cable car up the mountain.

The first person to reach the temple at the mountain peak will be awarded a mystery gift prepared by our crew.

Enough talk, let’s set off now. After the sun sets, the forests will become dangerous, so everyone should hurry and be careful not to fall behind."

After concluding, the director had all the guests pick a box.

"Boxes ranging from one to eight, please each pick one."

Lu Huan remembered Lu Ming’s advice, and as soon as the director finished speaking, she rushed towards box number three and grabbed it.

"Let’s take turns, I’ll choose this one."

The director glanced at her without saying much and turned to the others.

"Everyone, pick one; the items inside will assist you in reaching the summit, so choose carefully."

From the outside, no differences were apparent; the only choice was to shake the boxes.

Lu Huan held the heavy box with delight.

The box was so heavy, surely there were many good items inside.

Lu Ming followed closely and chose box number five.

Seeing their choices, Han Li also pulled her sister forward to choose.

If too light, it would be empty and unable to contain any props.

Thus she also picked the heaviest and gave her sister a heavy one.

Qu Yongjia saw this and felt anxious.

The good ones must have been chosen over.

Because Lu Huan mentioned taking turns, the situation became picking from left to right.

Clearly unregulated, yet had to watch others choose.

Sure enough, when she stepped up, the remaining four boxes were all light.

She looked back at Jiang Lai, sighed, then took the slightly heavier one, leaving another slightly weighted one for Jiang Lai.

In the end, only Jiang Lai and Jiang Qu were left with two boxes.

Box seven and box eight, which could easily be lifted, shaking revealed something light and rattling like paper; otherwise, added no apparent weight.

This time, Jiang Qu frowned even more.

Very headache-inducing.

"Alright, everyone has selected, is there anyone who wants to swap?"

Lu Huan tightly grasped her box and responded confidently.

"Everyone made their choices, why swap?"

No words from anyone, the director nodded.

"Good, since you’ve decided, you may now open the boxes to see what’s inside."

Lu Huan and Lu Ming eagerly opened their boxes, and seeing the contents, they couldn’t hold back their laughter.

The third box contained a full package of water and food, all compact biscuits, and even a single piece felt heavy.

The fifth box had a complete set of climbing equipment, and even had a folding temporary tent.

No wonder it was so heavy, all were great things inside.

The other competitors showed an envious look.

With food, drink, and equipment support, they were bound to win.
