After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Chapter 41: Quick Response
"Finally got in!"
"I was wondering why this live stream was so hard to enter, turns out it’s because I’m competing with over a million others for a spot."
The foreign Wilderness Survival show beca a global hit the mont it aired, and now that a similar show is available dostically, fans of this genre have flocked to it.
In addition to survival enthusiasts, fans of the guest stars are also rushing into the live stream to cheer for their idols.
"Xiyu reporting for duty, daily confession to my sis!"
"I heard that the guests won’t be allowed to have phones for the next week, can our dear Kai Yuan cope without a phone?"
"Lin-ge, here I co!"
"Uncle Lin, still going strong! Watch you beat those youngsters around you."
...
After the fans have announced themselves and declared their admiration, the largest group of bystander viewers begins to speak.
"Jiang Lingxi and little Jiang Lingxi appearing together, that’s really sothing rare."
"Although Jiang Lingxi’s personality isn’t that great, to be fair, even with makeup, Jiang Xiyu can’t compare to Jiang Lingxi’s bare face."
As soon as this comnt appeared, Jiang Xiyu’s fans were imdiately displeased.
"You can tell it’s a bare face through the cara? It’s definitely fake bare makeup, what a scheming woman."
"Jiang Xiyu fans, don’t argue, not everyone in this live stream is a Jiang Xiyu fan. Keep it civil."
Luckily, the live stream had just started and the comnts were scrolling fast, quickly overshadowing any disharmonious content.
After watching the recognizable celebrities, soone finally noticed the pair at the edge.
"Are the two people on the left who seem a bit intimate a couple? Are they also guests on this show? They don’t look like people from the entertainnt industry, but they do seem familiar."
Quickly, a viewer from the adventure circle clarified: "Not from the entertainnt circle, they’re from our adventure circle. Xu Ai and Zhou Yi, both are adventure experts with nearly ten million followers online. They must be semi-amateur guests invited by the show’s production team."
"Like-minded companions venturing together, that sounds rather romantic, best wishes to them!"
"Adding another best wish."
After a colorful stream of blessings, soone finally noticed the last guest standing in the corner.
"Does anyone recognize the cool guy standing at the very back?"
"I was just about to ntion him. Everyone in these black training outfits looks sharp and stylish, but this low-profile cool guy gives the impression of being a soldier when he stands there in a training uniform."
"I don’t quite recall him, since Xu Ai and Zhou Yi are here, could he also be an amateur guest?"
...
The live stream buzzed with lively discussions, while Yu Hui, who stood ahead of everyone beside Jiang Xiyu, seed just like a rich young master when he wore his own clothes. After changing into the uniform training attire, lacking the couple interaction of Xu Ai and Zhou Yi or Xu Zhao’s unique taciturn deanor, he seed to blend in with everyone else.
Coincidentally, at this ti, Director Li Shuo had just announced the competition rules.
The audience’s assessnts of the guests ca to a pause.
"Aren’t these quick-answer questions tailored perfectly for professionals like Xu Ai and Zhou Yi?"
"Everyone knows that, and so do the guests. I bet these two will definitely hold back."
"The production team probably didn’t prepare too difficult questions. As long as guests prepared beforehand, it shouldn’t be hard."
"Of course, deciding to join a survival show implies prior preparation. Otherwise, are they here to ss around?"
In reality.
The quick-answer session had already started.
As expected, Xu Ai and Zhou Yi, the adventure duo, captured the first three questions.
However, by the fourth question, the two tacitly refrained from raising hands, giving others a chance to answer.
After all, the questions prepared by the production team were like common knowledge to them, and if they seriously answered all the way, they would definitely be first, while the remaining six guests would all end up tied for last.
The fourth question was quickly taken by Jiang Kaiyuan, thanks to his unmatchable gaming speed.
Then the fifth, sixth...
When the ninth question ca up, before Jiang Kaiyuan could raise his hand, he glanced towards Jiang Xiyu’s direction.
In this initial round, everyone had courteous intentions to let each other answer, and by now, aside from Jiang Xiyu, everyone had at least answered once. The ninth question was naturally left for Jiang Xiyu.
But after several seconds, Jiang Xiyu still hadn’t raised her hand.
Jiang Kaiyuan hesitated montarily but eventually raised his hand and gave the answer.
Jiang Xiyu lowered her head slightly, letting her long hair cover the sides of her face, her hand behind her back clenched into a fist.
In reality, Jiang Yuting had prepared so survival-related questions for her, but she thought rely studying the theory was pointless and assud that once the show started, the male guests would surely take care of the few female guests, rendering the knowledge irrelevant if learned or not.
Also, even if she underperford, wasn’t there the unimpressive Jiang Lingxi to fall back on?
So before the show, she hadn’t taken her cousin’s advice on pre-preparation seriously.
Now that the show officially started, she never expected the first round to be a quick-answer survival question contest.
That’s not all, what she couldn’t accept was that Jiang Lingxi actually managed to answer correctly in the buzz-in!
The first possibility she thought of was that the production team gave Jiang Lingxi the questions in advance.
Back in the live stream.
Witnessing ten questions already asked, every other guest secured at least one point except Jiang Xiyu, still at zero, igniting curious comnts.
"What’s up with Jiang Xiyu? Jiang Kaiyuan seed to want to let her answer the ninth question, didn’t she appreciate the gesture?"
"Probably she didn’t know the answer, but the ninth question wasn’t that difficult, I knew the answer just listening to it."
"Initially, I thought Jiang Lingxi would score the lowest in this round, but surprisingly it’s Jiang Xiyu. Honestly, that’s a bit unexpected."
"Didn’t Jiang Xiyu recently present herself as the top student? Can’t she answer such simple questions?"
Jiang Xiyu’s fans couldn’t help but defend: "Our sister just didn’t know that one question’s answer, and didn’t raise her hand earlier out of courtesy. It’s just one question, no need to criticize her like this."
While the live stream buzzed with intense discussion, more than half of the questions had been presented in reality.
After Yu Hui answered his second question, he couldn’t help but glance to his side.
The Goddess hadn’t raised her hand even once. This level of courtesy seed a bit excessive, hadn’t Jiang Lingxi already answered three questions?
So when the seventeenth question was announced, he discreetly moved closer, covering the mic pinned on his collar, quickly whispering the answer to Jiang Xiyu.
After being montarily stunned, Jiang Xiyu reflexively raised her hand and voiced the answer Yu Hui just whispered to her.
"Congratulations Jiang Xiyu, one point awarded."
Though gaining one point, Jiang Xiyu didn’t feel any joy.
Particularly, when she instinctively looked left, coincidentally eting Jiang Lingxi’s gaze.
The gaze was calm, yet sohow made her cheeks feel burning hot in just a mont.
For the first ti in her life, she was the one to divert her gaze.
Quickly, all twenty-four questions were answered.
Xu Ai and Zhou Yi were indubitably tied for first, each answering four questions, taking a third of all the questions.
Next were Lin Jing, Xu Zhao, Jiang Kaiyuan, and Jiang Lingxi, each answering three questions, tying for second.
Finally were Yu Hui and Jiang Xiyu, each answering two questions, tying for third.
After the director announced the ranks, Jiang Lingxi glanced at Yu Hui, who clearly answered four questions yet ended up officially last.
This fan dedication is undoubtedly what Lu Zhengzheng described as the true fan thinking wholeheartedly for their idol, applause!
