CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 96: THIS ISN’T MAKING THINGS DIFFICULT FOR JI XIZHI, THIS IS JUST...

Show crew member: "?"

Director Wang: "??"

Audience: "???"

Wait, can we really not choose?

[She’s here, she’s here again, the woman who never falls into traps is here again!]

[Puhahahaha, what a dog show! Trying to make Zhi Zhi break the law and lose points, that’s impossible!]

[But... if you don’t choose, how do you get into the village without transportation?]

The words on the bullet screen were also voiced by Director Wang.

"How can you not choose? If you don’t choose, how will you get into the village?" Director Wang’s face was long.

Ji Xizhi calmly raised her hand to look at her watch and said, "The timing is perfect, I can just jog over."

Director Wang: "Jog...jog?!"

The nearby guests heard Ji Xizhi’s words and appeared even more bewildered.

A group of people moved their heads, looking at the road ahead that seemed endless.

Silence.

Running over there, wouldn’t her legs break???

Zhu Xiu’an was already on his cool little electric scooter. He had the key, and when he heard Ji Xizhi couldn’t choose, he couldn’t help but wave and boast, "Ji Xizhi, I’ll give you a ride for just twenty work points, fair deal!"

Sheng Yaoyao also said, "Zhi Zhi, although I can’t ride an electric scooter, I’m pretty good at cycling. I can give you a ride too!"

"Yeah, there’s still a long way to go to the destination, running there would be too tiring!" Guan Fengyan pointed to the empty rear seat and said, "Sit behind me, it’s spacious!"

Three guests in a row all invited Ji Xizhi to get in their vehicles.

Zhong Yulu’s eyes were ambiguous but quickly smiled and said, "Yeah, I’ve got a seat behind me too; I can give you a ride."

All four guests who chose positions extended invitations.

Director Wang also didn’t seem to stop them at all.

Even his lips curled slightly, looking expectant about Ji Xizhi’s final choice.

Fans in the live broadcast room burst out laughing.

[She’s definitely the favorite, but... electric scooters can’t carry passengers, ohhohohohoho!]

[The only options are Yao Yao’s bicycle and Uncle Guan’s tricycle with a driver’s license, hahahaha! Waiting for Zhi Zhi’s keen insight!]

[I’m speechless at Zhu Xiu’an; soon, you won’t have your vehicle, and you still want to charge money? Please, Zhi Zhi, arrest him quickly!]

[Zhi Zhi shouldn’t choose wrong, right?]

Just as the guests finished speaking, Ji Xizhi shook her head.

Rejecting everything.

[??? Is she really planning to jog? It’s so far, and with luggage, is she showing off?]

[That’s ridiculous. They invited her, and while electric scooters can’t carry passengers, Uncle Guan has a license, and Yao Yao’s bicycle is fine too. There’s no need to refuse everyone’s kindness just to stand out, right?]

[Maybe Ji Xizhi doesn’t know Uncle Guan has a driver’s license? It’s plausible?]

[Okay, then perhaps Yao Yao’s bicycle is fine? She just wants to highlight herself, whatever, let her run! Not willing, then forget it!]

Several new fans watching the show for the first time saw their favorite actively showing kindness, only to be flatly rejected by Ji Xizhi and got angry suddenly.

Many started shouting, saying it’s not worth it.

Fans were excitedly posting.

On-site, Ji Xizhi spoke again.

She pointed at the chosen transportation of the four guests and said:

"According to C Province’s electric scooter regulations, modifying electric scooters to be street-ready is illegal, not wearing a helmet is illegal, and carrying passengers is also illegal—all subject to fines."

"Sister Yaoyao, your bicycle has no chain, so it can’t be ridden."

"Uncle Yan, your tricycle requires a license, and even agricultural tricycles can’t carry passengers."

With just a few words, Ji Xizhi clearly laid out the show group’s tactics.

The guests were dumbfounded: "???"

[Yao Yao’s bicycle? Damn it, Old Wang really set too many traps, even tweaking the bicycle???]

[I said why Old Wang didn’t stop them; if Zhi Zhi chose the scooter or tricycle, wasn’t it exactly what Director Wang wanted, deducting all points!]

[Wow! The show group didn’t even give the guests a chance to use these transport options, Yao Yao’s bike is broken, Zhu Xiu’an’s scooter is illegally modified, Lu Lu has no helmet, and Guan Fengyan’s tricycle requires a license, it’s ridiculous!]

[Hahaha, fortunately, Uncle Yan is an exception; he has a license! Director Wang didn’t foresee this, and although passengers can’t be carried, looks like Uncle Yan will win this round!]

[Speaking of which, how does Ji Xizhi know so much stuff??? Honestly, I’ve never ridden these vehicles from childhood until now, but I’ve seen so many electric scooters carrying passengers on roads, and there are quite a few elderly driving tricycles to pick up grandchildren! Also, I watched a neighboring lifestyle show where guests rode these vehicles, is this illegal too?]

[Replying upstairs, yes, many rural areas have started rectifying these issues because they are actually unsafe. If interested, follow your province’s traffic law official blog, there are often related cases, a lot of incidents; everyone must pay attention to safety!]

As fans on the bullet screen shared information, the "Life Experience" live broadcast room began floating with related regulations.

Zhu Xiu’an was hit again, watching Director Wang ruthlessly deduct his twenty work points once more.

Zhu Xiu’an wept bitterly, "Old Wang, this is unfair! Ji Xizhi learned the law, and we haven’t learned it!"

Director Wang leisurely said, "The show group provided early notices; you didn’t discover it yourself. Our show has always been fair and impartial, please don’t slander us!"

Zhu Xiu’an: "? What’s fair then!"

Before Director Wang could respond.

The nearby Ji Xizhi slowly spoke, "After entering Lishui County, to your right, the rape flower field marks the starting line, second bulletin board, third article, which clearly states the prohibition of modified electric scooters on the road. Violators face warning or vehicle impoundment."

Zhu Xiu’an: "??? Wait, what bulletin board are you talking about?"

[......Is Ji Xizhi a god? I went back to look at the screenshot, it’s really the second bulletin board!]

[Even the third article is accurate, damn it, is Ji Xizhi a demon! Who notices such details!]

[If the PD hadn’t given that special shot, I wouldn’t have cared. Ji Xizhi actually saw it and remembered it? Is she human?]

[I get it, Ji Xizhi doesn’t see scenery; her heart only has the law!]

Director Wang was quite surprised too.

He indeed anticipated Ji Xizhi would notice these traffic regulations when he reminded her in the car.

But———

He didn’t expect Ji Xizhi could actually memorize it! Even recalled the exact location?!

The trailing PD who shot those legal rules was also in a daze.

A few people looked at Director Wang’s expression, and immediately pulled out the shot records from the car, matched the screenshot, and confirmed it was right.

Director Wang: "..."

Other guests: "..."

Guan Fengyan and Sheng Yaoyao exchanged a glance.

Suddenly, they remembered why Director Wang asked Ji Xizhi to disembark the bus last.

Director Wang wasn’t making things difficult for Ji Xizhi.

Director Wang feared Ji Xizhi would affect his trapping other guests into losing work points, right?!
