Chapter 1226: They Hadn’t Expected Yun Liuli to Guess This!
Gu Qingcheng was sure that with Yun Liuli’s intelligence, along with the fact that she had studied the past episodes, she would definitely be able to figure out the tricks and style of the production crew and successfully pa.s.s all the rounds. Hence, he didn’t instruct Yun Liuli on other matters, merely helping her pack a backpack. Although it was said that the production crew would have preparations for them, he would feel greater peace of mind should Yun Liuli bring this emergency pack along with her.
Hence, the backpack was like an amulet to Yun Liuli. Although Gu Qingcheng wasn’t around… the backpack Gu Qingcheng packed for her was around! Similarly, she would be able to fend off all bugs and obstacles!
Last night, Gu Qingcheng also reminded Yun Liuli that there were plenty of snakes, insects, and rats in the jungle. Yun Liuli had hated insects ever since she was little, so she tied plenty of insect repellent buckles around her legs and arms. In crucial moments she would also be able to use this to exchange for useful tools with female guests who were afraid of bugs!
Right now, even as Yun Liuli remained unmoving, the people around her could sniff the strong scent of insect repellent herbs on her.
The film crew was speechless.
“Yun Liuli, you can only take one piece of gear!” The film crew pointed out.
“Yeah, that’s why I only took a backpack!” Yun Liuli said in a very serious and obedient manner, her clean eyes appearing round. She was hugging her backpack to her chest like a little hamster protecting its food.
This was the backpack Gu Qingcheng packed for her. She would rather die than set it down! Yun Liuli declared that firmly in her heart.
The film crew was speechless.
All the guests snorted in laughter upon seeing the film crew’s helpless reactions.
Fu Tianci only found out today that Yun Liuli had such a good sense of humor.
However, s.h.i.+ Hanchu, who had given Yun Liuli a lesson on acting, understood that Yun Liuli was merely playing with words and not actually trying to be difficult.
“Irrefutable!” Dong Yijie laughed as he clapped.
All of the guests followed his lead and started clapping, except for the aggrieved-looking Liu Yuxi, who was hugging a tent she had picked to her chest.
“Hahaha, I want to know what’s inside Yun Liuli’s backpack!” Du Wenjie wiped the tears that came from laughing too hard.
“Liuli, tell us what treasures are hidden inside your backpack. Why do you insist on bringing it with you?” Yang Feifei asked with a smile.
“It’s a backpack my boyfriend packed for me! My boyfriend isn’t by my side, and he said he’d only have peace of mind if I took this backpack he prepared for me since I’m filming in such a place.” Yun Liuli wouldn’t say what was inside. If she revealed it all, the film crew would only allow Yun Liuli to pick one. She wasn’t stupid—this was clearly a trap laid out for her, so there was no way she was jumping in.
Without a map, Team Unlucky, which was composed of the backpack-carrying Yun Liuli and the tent-hugging Liu Yuxi, could only watch as the other two teams respectively discussed which direction to head based on the maps they received.
After s.h.i.+ Hanchu got the map, he observed the surroundings and confirmed that they received the second half of the map.
He said, “The map we received should be the second half. Since Team Red is holding onto the first half, let’s follow Team Red for the first half of the journey…”
Du Wenjie and Fu Tianci nodded, convinced.
Liu Yuxi, who was nearly in tears, hugged the tent tightly as she asked Yun Liuli, “Sister Liuli, what are we going to do?”
Gripping the straps of her backpack, Yun Liuli thought seriously with her brows knitted, then glanced at the film crew. When she saw the film crew’s sneaky smiles, Yun Liuli turned around and shouted, “h.e.l.lo, Team Blue and Team Red…”
Team Blue and Team Red turned to look towards Yun Liuli in the midst of discussing their routes.
“I watched every episode very seriously before coming. The film crew tends to design things such that the seemingly weakest team actually has hidden capabilities. They wouldn’t really let the seemingly weakest team suffer a disadvantage! On the contrary, the weakest team has the greatest advantage every time!” Yun Liuli said seriously.
Liu Yuxi, who was standing next to Yun Liuli, was nearly in tears. Was what she said real?
“My personal guess is that there’s a meaning behind our name being Team Unlucky. The two of us will definitely be particularly unlucky. So, you two teams had better show me your maps! Else, we’ll follow you guys around. If the two of us are going to be unlucky, let’s all be unlucky together!” Yun Liuli threatened Team Red and Team Blue.
The film crew was speechless.
Who showed Yun Liuli their show proposal?
According to the film crew’s plan, because they didn’t give Team Unlucky a map, Team Unlucky would definitely choose to follow one team around. Then… whichever team Team Unlucky chose to follow would be unlucky as well.
They hadn’t expected Yun Liuli to guess this!
Mainly, Yun Liuli was gifted with an extraordinary retentive memory, so after showing her the map… her brain would act like a scanner, instantly retaining whatever she saw!
When Team Red and Team Blue heard Yun Liuli’s words, they all turned to look at the film crew.
The film crew tried to act deep and unfathomable to conceal the panic in their hearts. All of them looked at the monitors and completely avoided the guests’ gazes. The feeling of a conspiracy was vividly portrayed.
“Team Red refuses to believe it! If someone’s going to be unlucky, you’re going to be the unlucky ones! Miss Fairy Liuli, stop threatening us!” Yang Feifei hid the map gloatingly, then announced that they were setting off.
Yang Feifei despised Yun Liuli from the bottom of her heart. For a newcomer like Yun Liuli to become the female lead of Lu Tianyu’s MV and be able to collaborate with s.h.i.+ Hanchu—whom she had wanted to work with for the longest time but lacked the opportunity to do so… even partic.i.p.ating in Director Hu’s major production “The General”, how could Yang Feifei take it lying down?
Other than disdain and dislike towards Yun Liuli, Yang Feifei also had plenty of confidence in her team, which included the Olympic champion Zhang Yihan. There was nothing to be fearful of!
On the other hand, s.h.i.+ Hanchu of Team Blue said to Yun Liuli with an elegant smile, “Although I’d like very much to help you, the rules of the show are as such. We’re competing in teams. Sorry about that, Liuli!”
After Team Red set off, Team Blue followed closely behind. Liu Yuxi was nearly in tears. “Sister Liuli, what should we do without a map!”
“We follow them! Didn’t I say it earlier!”
Hence, Yun Liuli followed them. Liu Yuxi, who was hugging the tent, had no choice but to follow along as well.
Seeing all three teams set off, the film crew instructed in the ear mics, “Start preparing the trap!”
“Sister Liuli, which team do we follow? What should we do if they split ways?” Liu Yuxi asked.
“Since Team Red refuses to believe it, let’s follow Team Red first. If, after 15 minutes, they still haven’t parted ways, we can follow Team Blue for the next 15 minutes!” Yun Liuli comforted Liu Yuxi, adding, “Don’t be scared, we’re going to win this!”
Team Red was speechless.
So was Team Blue.
Liu Yuxi also didn’t believe it when Yun Liuli said they were going to win this!
“Why 15 minutes here and 15 minutes there? What if they part ways before 15 minutes are up? What are we to do then?” Liu Yuxi was s.h.i.+vering as she glanced at the dense foliage all around.
