CHAPTER 96: CHAPTER 95: EITHER WAY, POINTS WILL BE DEDUCTED! (2)

Sheng Yaoyao’s face gradually improved after the car stopped, and upon hearing Director Wang deliberately make things difficult for Ji Xizhi, she couldn’t help but speak up, "Yeah, it’s just two hundred work points!"

Director Wang: "..."

He hesitated several times to speak, but in the end, he didn’t say anything.

Never mind, they’ll understand once they get off the bus.

Guan Fengyan and Sheng Yaoyao also spoke up to defend Ji Xizhi.

But beside them, Zhu Xiu’an, upon hearing Director Wang’s words, suddenly jumped up like a lit firecracker and looked at Director Wang with eyes like he was seeing a relative, laughing out loud, "Haha Director Wang, you finally acted like a human for once!"

After speaking, he didn’t wait for anyone else to react and quickly jumped off the bus.

Zhu Xiu’an had just been feeling down about the negative twenty work points he had to carry, but when he heard Director Wang’s words, he couldn’t wait any longer!

Today, he was determined to be number one!

Below the bus, not far away, the show’s staff had already prepared a series of transportation options, including bicycles, electric bikes, motorcycles, tricycles, and even tractors, both new and old, with their maximum speeds labeled, all lined up by the roadside.

As soon as Zhu Xiu’an got down, the staffer in charge of selecting vehicles greeted him with a smile.

"Teacher Yue, you can choose one from these vehicles!"

Zhu Xiu’an immediately spotted the coolest-looking motorcycle, and he pointed with one finger, just about to choose the fastest-labeled motorcycle.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, chuckled knowingly, and said with hands on his hips, "Director Wang must think I’ll choose a motorcycle! Hmph hmph, you need a license to ride a motorcycle, I know that well, so I’ll choose this electric bike, no license needed, and it looks cool, fitting my style!"

The fans who got off the bus with Zhu Xiu’an watched him stand next to a silver-white electric bike labeled as the second fastest.

[Covering my eyes, I have a feeling this silly dog is about to get into trouble!]

[Doesn’t this electric bike look a bit off? The show suddenly let Zhu Xiu’an off the bus, there must be a trap!]

The fans, with a god’s-eye view, were naturally more perceptive than the on-site guests, plus the PD had specifically filmed the roadside traffic laws and regulations before, so someone quickly discovered the show’s trap.

[The electric bike Zhu Xiu’an chose doesn’t look like a standard electric bike? Is it modified? I remember that privately modifying electric bikes is illegal!]

[Holy crap, the show labeled this electric bike at 60km/h, is that even an allowed speed for electric bikes? They must have hacked the speed limit!]

[Oh no, I remember seeing a sign on the way here, I took a screenshot!!!]

[Makes sense, I mean, which celebrity rides an electric bike? Laughing to death!]

[This mine-detecting is way too precise??? If I were a fan of Zhu Xiu’an, my heart couldn’t take it!]

Fan of Yue: ... Thanks for the invite, I’m already in mourning in advance!

After Zhu Xiu’an chose a vehicle, Zhong Yulu, Sheng Yaoyao, and Guan Fengyan also started playing rock-paper-scissors to determine who goes next.

Guan Fengyan was the first to win. Being a bit older and more experienced in life than Zhu Xiu’an, he immediately noticed some traps the show had set up.

If the speed looks off or there’s no license plate, don’t pick it.

He chose a tricycle, then took out a D-level driver’s license from his bag and laughed, "A long time ago, when I was helping with farm work at home, I got this, isn’t that convenient!"

The live-stream fans never expected someone like Guan Fengyan would drive such a tricycle.

[Holy crap, Uncle Yan is a real seer! My uncle really has a strong showbiz sense!]

[Dying of laughter, the old artist driving a tricycle to do farm work, Uncle Yan is really grounded!]

After Guan Fengyan finished choosing, it was Sheng Yaoyao and Zhong Yulu’s turn.

Sheng Yaoyao couldn’t ride an electric bike, so she had to choose the slowest bicycle.

And Zhong Yulu, after seeing the choices of the previous guests, also realized that the transportation options given by the show had traps, but it was still so far to the destination that without choosing, it would be impossible to reach.

Zhong Yulu had to carefully choose an electric bike that looked the safest without a helmet.

[Great, another one went in.]

[Lu Lu had no choice, there were only three left, and none of them would work, the show was obviously setting them up!]

[Seriously, both the motorcycle and the tractor require a driver’s license!]

[How are they supposed to choose, it’s so ridiculous!]

[This tractor, the more I look at it, the more I feel something’s wrong. Isn’t this just some villager’s tractor parked here, which the show pulled over to make up the numbers?]

[Haha, that’s possible, after all, it’s something Director Wang would do!]

[Crap, they’re all done choosing, Zhi Zhi is the last one left, only the motorcycle and tractor remain, how could she have a license for either? Looks like, this time, besides Uncle Yan and Yaoyao, everyone else is going to lose points!]

Ji Xizhi hadn’t gotten off the bus yet, but the fans were already worried about Ji Xizhi in advance.

-

On the bus, Ji Xizhi was still sitting in her seat.

Director Wang, feeling exhausted, watched Ji Xizhi actually start studying on the bus and had to remind her helplessly:

"Get off the bus, Ji Xizhi! Time to do the task!!!"

Ji Xizhi just finished taking notes and looked up instinctively upon hearing Director Wang’s voice.

Her bright eyes were slightly dazed, showing a bit of confusion at first. She glanced around and finally remembered.

Oh! She was still on her way to the countryside.

She closed her laptop and put it back in her bag, responding, "Okay."

[Laughing to death, hahaha, did Zhi Zhi forget she’s still recording a show!]

[This expression is exactly like a student who got called on by the teacher for sleeping in class, first bewildered, then confirming the environment, and finally responding casually! The difference is, others are immersed in sleep, while Zhi Zhi is engrossed in studying!]

[Director Wang: If I had a piece of chalk in my hand, I’d throw it right now!]

The fans who stayed on the bus watched Director Wang’s defeated expression and could hardly stop laughing.

Ji Xizhi didn’t notice at all the changes in Director Wang’s expression; she packed her bag, politely greeted Director Wang, and got off the bus.

On the path, the other four guests had already chosen their transportation.

As soon as Ji Xizhi got off, the show staff greeted her with a flattering smile.

"Teacher Ji, the other guests have already finished choosing. Currently, the show still has a motorcycle and a tractor left, so you can only pick one of them to travel with!"

[How outrageous, isn’t this just forcing Ji Xizhi to choose and then deduct points?]

[Ridiculous! How to choose? Either choice will get you trapped by Director Wang!]

The fans were all worried.

Then they saw Ji Xizhi raise an eyebrow, "Oh, then I won’t choose, I don’t need a vehicle."
