Chapter 83 Chapter 83 King of Rolls Dad 26+27

As everyone expected, Zhuozhuo stared at Rong Yi's various stunts in the water tank the whole time. No matter how he tried to show goodwill or hint, she didn't give any response. Her silence made Rong Yi feel uneasy.

[This is out of place.]

[Serves her right. Zhuo Bao is such a good-tempered child, yet Rong Ge had to provoke her.]

[Babies are made for fun.]

I heard Rong Ge always likes to make Zhuo Bao angry, and every time he does that, he'll bend over backwards to make him happy. I don't know what's wrong with him, hahaha.

Soon, the total dive time reached five minutes.

Rong Yi surfaced and came ashore, unconcerned with the others' praise. He changed his clothes and hurried to the glass. Looking at Zhuozhuo's calm face, Rong Yi tried to pretend nothing had happened. "Zhuozhuo, you must be getting impatient. We've completed the mission and can move on to the next one."

The PD announced in due time that they were the first in this session, issued a task reward of 100 yuan, and gave the task location for the next session.

Rong Yi reached out, trying to pick up Zhuo Zhuo. Zhuo Zhuo twisted his little body to avoid him, saying in a chilly voice, "Don't hug me. Daddy, I'm very angry now. I don't want to talk to you or play with you."

"Dad, can you please apologize?" Rong Yi was already very familiar and proficient in the process of admitting his mistakes. He could clearly list one, two, and three crimes without any preparation, and deepen his feelings step by step, showing his full sincerity and gaining burning forgiveness.

Zhuozhuo looked at Rong Yi squatting in front of him, nodded his little head, and said childishly, "Dad, please apologize, but I won't forgive you just yet. I'm a repeat offender, I'm so bad, I need to reflect on this."

Rong Yi said gently, "Zhuozhuo can forgive Daddy anytime he wants. Daddy is already very happy that Zhuozhuo is willing to give Daddy a chance to apologize."

[Tsk.]

[Lao Rong has a lot of skills, he is very skilled in his job.]

[Unfortunately, our sister Zhuo is a seasoned warrior and won't fall for this.]

[Yes, Sister Zhuo is a very confident child.]

After apologizing, Rong Yi naturally asked Zhuo Zhuo for his opinion, "Should we go to the next mission location immediately, or go check on the others?"

"Go check it out and say goodbye to them."

Rong Yi took Zhuo Zhuo into the elevator.

[Although Rong Ge is very humble in front of Zhuo Bao, he really respects Zhuo Zhuo's opinions.]

Rong Ge has Zhuo Bao in his eyes. He not only treats Zhuo Bao as his daughter, but also as someone he can interact with on an equal footing.

The two first went to the hand-painting studio, where Nuomi and He Tian each worked under the guidance of a teacher. Nuomi was to draw a Patrick Star, while He Tian's was to depict a mountain stream. However, it was clear that neither father nor daughter had any talent for painting, and both were left scratching their heads in agony.

After discovering that Zhuozhuo Rongyi had completed the task, He Tian was very envious and consoled himself by saying, "Your task must be easy, and the bonus is small." The next second, he started asking, "How much is your bonus?"

Rong Yi wasn't sure what level 100 yuan represented in this regard, but for the sake of advantage and game effectiveness, he had to reveal as little information as possible. So, he replied, "You'll know once you complete the mission."

Zhuozhuo took a look at the original painting that Nuomi and He Tian were going to copy and felt that it was not difficult. So he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Sister Nuomi, our task is very difficult, while yours is easy. We will definitely make more money than you."

[Actually, the aquarium mission wasn't difficult. It was Rong Ge who overachieved, which made Zhuozhuo think it was difficult. And since Zhuozhuo has a talent for drawing, he thought the hand-painted museum mission was easy. Objectively speaking, the two missions are about the same difficulty, both worth around 100 yuan.]

Nuomi didn't expect so much. When she heard Zhuozhuo's words, she said admiringly: "Zhuozhuo, you are amazing. Such a difficult task was completed so quickly!"

"Dad did the task, I didn't do it."

"Your dad is awesome!"

Zhuozhuo glanced at Rong Yi, covered his mouth and whispered, "My dad is super awesome."

[Zhuo Bao: Even though I'm still angry, I can still praise him.]

After leaving the painting gallery, they arrived at the indoor ski slope. Hanghang and Xiangtian were practicing on the slopes in their ski suits and couldn't come over, so Rongyi and Zhuozhuo said hello to them and left.

The esports arena was in Building B, so the two of them first went to the basketball court in the sky between several buildings. As soon as they stepped outside, they were faced with transparent glass, which would make the legs of the timid people weak and the soles of their feet sweat.

Zhuozhuo cried out in shock and froze in his place, not daring to take another step forward. He said pitifully, "Dad."

[Aa ...

Rong Yi was worried that Zhuozhuo would be frightened, so he said, "Zhuozhuo, let's go back and cross via the overpass."

Zhuozhuo hesitated for a moment, looked carefully at the people walking and running on the glass, then looked at the "sky" below her feet and the little people coming and going, and said, "Dad, I want to stand on it, it's fun." As she said this, her feet did not move at all.

[Both gluttonous and playful.]

Seeing what Zhuozhuo meant, Rong Yi, who was just trying to "make meritorious service for his crime", coughed lightly, hiding the smile on his face, and said, "Daddy wants to stand up too. Can Dad hold Zhuozhuo?"

"Sure." Zhuozhuo, who had refused to be hugged just now, immediately opened his arms.

Rong Yi held Zhuo Zhuo in his arms and stepped onto the glass floor. He stared at Zhuo Zhuo standing beneath his feet and immediately hugged his neck tightly, nervously calling out, "Dad!"

"Daddy's here, don't be afraid." Rong Yi wrapped his arm around Zhuozhuo's back, giving her a sense of security. Soon, Zhuozhuo's fear dissipated, leaving only curiosity. She clung to Rong Yi's arm and looked around, a completely different person from the pitiful little girl just now.

Suddenly, Zhuozhuo said, "Dad, Zhuozhuo come down."

"Are you really going to come down?"

"Come down." Zhuozhuo said firmly, and added, "Dad is holding Zhuozhuo's hand."

"good."

Rong Yi squatted down and placed Zhuozhuo's feet on the glass floor, observing her reaction. Seeing her face full of curiosity and excitement, he slowly loosened his grip.

After being free to move, Zhuozhuo only dared to take two steps close to Rongyi at first, but gradually he grew bolder and began to run and jump on it, waving his arms and saying childishly, "I'm flying! Zhuozhuo is flying! It's so exciting."

[Ahhh Zhuozhuo, please go quickly! Don’t fly! I’m scared! I can’t even open my eyes!]

[Me too, I covered the bottom half of the screen...]

[I don’t even dare to imagine how Duoduo will complete the mission. The basketball court must be the most difficult one, right?]

[You can check out Duoduo's livestream upstairs. Duoduo looks quiet and gentle, but he's actually quite courageous. When Zhao Shaochu first arrived, he was trembling with fear, and it was Duoduo who held his father's hand while he completed the mission.]

Zhuozhuo and Rong Yi arrived at the basketball court and saw that besides Duoduo, Zhao Shaochu, and the "Food Journey" staff, there were also many passers-by watching the excitement. These passers-by watched quietly, whispering from time to time, as if they were afraid of disturbing something.

Duoduo was practicing shooting, and Zhao Shaochu was practicing dribbling, but after taking a few steps, Zhao Shaochu squatted on the ground with his hands covering his eyes, wailing in pain, "I can't do it!" The program team asked him if he wanted to give up the task, but he gritted his teeth and persisted.

Duoduo said, "Dad, you go inside and rest. I can do it myself."

"I can still go on." Zhao Shaochu said this, looking like he was about to cry.

Finally, Duoduo couldn't stand it anymore and swapped tasks with Zhao Shaochu. At least when shooting, without picking up the ball, he could just focus on the basket.

Seeing that Zhao Shaochu had finally adjusted his condition and his shooting accuracy was getting higher and higher, Rong Yi didn't want to go over to disturb him, so he quietly left with Zhuozhuo.

[Is Zhao Shaochu afraid of heights? If you are afraid of heights, don't force yourself.]

[He said he wasn't afraid of heights, but he was just scared.]

[Alas, why work so hard? A good food show has become an inspirational channel.]

[Maybe he didn't want to get too tired, didn't want to fall behind, or maybe it was for the show's effect. After all, Zhao Shaochu had been tepid for so many years, and he finally got the good fortune to be on the same show with Rong Yi, so of course he had to seize the opportunity.]

[Maybe he wanted to set a good example for Duoduo, telling him not to give up easily when faced with difficulties.]

Finally, there's the eSports Arena on the fifth floor of Building B. This entire floor is dedicated to the arena, and from the elevator up, you're greeted by a dazzling array of stylish decor. Upon arriving, Zhuozhuo let out several "wows," like a little frog who'd just opened the door to a new world.

After asking the staff, the two found the location of Zhou Huasheng and Jiang Huarong.

At this time, two teams were conducting daily training in the e-sports hall. The program crew was particularly good at hyping up the atmosphere and adapting to circumstances. The task assigned to the guests was to play in pairs with two professional e-sports teams.

There is no requirement to win. As long as the two guests can get a total of two kills in five games, they can complete the task, and assists also count.

At first, everyone thought Jiang Huarong would be able to complete this task easily. After all, he looked like a rebellious teenager who played games at home every day. But he sat down on the gaming chair and asked, "Use the arrow keys to control the character?"

So, the crying and begging production crew asked the staff of the e-sports stadium to act as coaches and provide emergency training for the two brothers.

When Zhuozhuo and Rong Yi arrived, they had just finished training and were about to begin their first match. The clacking of keyboards carried far away, and it sounded like the action was intense.

In order not to affect their performance, Rong Yi held Zhuo Zhuo and walked quietly behind them to watch.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that although Zhou Huasheng and Jiang Huarong sat upright with their hands on their keyboards, their computer screens were gray, with blood-red countdowns flashing across them. Zhou Huasheng's was 106, and Jiang Huarong's was 89.

But this doesn't mean Jiang Huarong is better, because his record is 0-11-0, while Zhou Huasheng's record is 0-9-0.

The brilliant light from the keyboard illuminated the two people's faces, which looked like vengeful ghosts randomly seeking revenge on people on the street late at night.

[Hahahahahaha, I never thought Jiang Jiang would be such a bad gamer!]

[My younger brother is just as bad.]

[Maybe they weren't used to it in the first game, but in the following games, as long as they followed up during the teamfight, and used their skills once, they would definitely get a few assists.]

[I'm afraid the two noobs will use their skills but not hit them at all.]

[What kind of hell is this above? Stop it.]

[I believe Giegie can do it!]

Rong Yi was in mixed emotions. Looking at the two brothers who were mad with rage, he had a feeling that they would not be able to leave the e-sports stadium today.

Zhuozhuo wanted to talk to Zhou Huasheng, but Rong Yi came out holding her, "Baby, your brother Huasheng may not want to see you right now."

"Why?"

"Because he is now doing something he is very bad at."

"Oh—" Zhuozhuo drawled out, speaking like a grown-up, "I know, Brother Peanut doesn't want to lose face."

"Zhuozhuo is really smart. When we meet Brother Peanut later, don't tell him that we saw their battle record."

Zhuozhuo said awkwardly, "But even if we don't tell them, Brother Huasheng and Uncle will know."

"Why?"

“Because it was recorded by a camera.”

“…”

[Love Peanut for a second.]

What if Jiang Jiang and his brother don't get two kills at the end of round five? Are they stuck here and can't proceed to the second round?

[That definitely won't happen. At most, it will take the longest time, but you won't get a dime.]

[It can't be that cruel, right? Jiang Jiang and his brother only have one dollar left, so they can't even afford the bus this time.]

[There should be a basic reward, at least to allow the brothers to transport themselves to the next stage.]

The second mission wasn't far away, but there were no direct buses or subways, so Rong Yi took Zhuo Zhuo there in a taxi. The journey took ten minutes, and Zhuo Zhuo, who had jumped into the car full of energy, was already fast asleep in Rong Yi's arms when they got out.

The PD quietly asked Rong Yi if they wanted to start the mission. Rong Yi assessed the progress of the other teams, covered his burning ears, and said with a smile, "What's the point of being so far ahead? I can just wait here for them to catch up."

[Ah!]

[We understand even without you saying it, it's because it's to let Zhuozhu take a nap.]

Compared to Rong Yi's race against time and continued expansion of his advantage, the fierce competition on the same starting line is what the program crew and the audience like to watch the most. Perhaps we can also look forward to Actor Rong making some harsh remarks and making a comeback.

So the program team agreed to Rong Yi's decision without hesitation, and even thoughtfully prepared a room with tatami so that Zhuozhuo could sleep well.

[At this point, I have to mention the show "Next Door Kids" again. The recording time of "Next Door Kids" takes the children's lunch break into consideration, unlike "Food Journey," which doesn't even have a lunch break.]

[It's okay, mainly because the "Food Journey" tasks aren't separate for adults and children. Even if the children fall asleep, the adults can still complete the tasks independently, so the impact isn't significant, and there's no forced nap requirement for children.]

Twenty minutes later, voices could be heard outside. Rong Yi walked out and discovered that the second group to arrive was actually Duoduo and Zhao Shaochu. He looked at Zhao Shaochu's still pale face and said, "Why don't you rest for a while and wait until everyone is here before competing again."

Zhao Shaochu glanced at Duoduo who was yawning slowly and agreed.

Just like that, Rong Yi was like a programmed robot, he would persuade one group to sleep as they came.

At 4:30, the production team woke up the guests and said, "Dear teachers and children, our guests are all here and have had enough rest. Now we will resume filming. Brother Rong, please read the task card for the second round."

[Excluding the Peanuts brothers who rushed to the scene despite their own mortality, all the other guests were asleep, except for our Rong brother.]

[Brother Rong is looking at his tablet, working.]

[He works while others sleep. This is too much.]

The second part is a series of tasks. After the whistle blows, the guests need to complete seven small tasks in sequence: spinning the elephant's trunk, jumping rope fifty times on the acupressure mat, blowing up three balloons, shooting down a moving target with a water gun, puzzle, arithmetic, and obstacle race. The group with the shortest time wins.

In addition, each group of guests has two challenges, and the best result will be counted. The two guests can take turns to perform, or just one can be sent out. The only thing to do is to ensure that there is only one guest on the stage and that the tasks are completed in the correct order.

The five adults looked at the seven small tasks and felt that none of them could be handed over to the children. However, looking at the eager little ones, they knew that they could not let them do nothing.

The program crew is not asking the guests to unite and cooperate, but is asking the little ones to hold back. Their intentions are so sinister!

[What did I say? There will definitely be tasks for the kids to complete later. No need to compete for that part. I can tell you the rankings right now!]

[Zhuo Bao and Rong Ge will definitely be at the bottom!]

[Zhuo Bao is actually looking at the acupressure mat, hoping she'll burst into tears, hehe.]

The order of the challenge was the reverse order of arrival at the mission point, so the first group to take on the challenge was Zhou Huasheng and Jiang Huarong. Jiang Huarong had no sympathy for his younger brother and directly assigned Zhou Huasheng three tasks: arithmetic, puzzle, and obstacle course.

The first four tasks were the most physically and mentally demanding. Zhou Huasheng looked at his cousin quietly and felt that he could share some of the burden.

Jiang Huarong understood, but had no intention of changing tasks. He even said, asking for a beating: "You are the oldest of the five kids. If you can't take first place, you've grown so big in vain."

"The same to you."

The two men were filled with murderous intent, their eyes blazing with unyielding flames, vowing to avenge their previous defeat in this round. As the whistle blew, Jiang Huarong, already in position, immediately spun in circles, with the sound of counting echoing around them: "One, two, three, four—five, six!"

Jiang Huarong immediately stood up and tried to rush onto the acupressure mat, but his head was spinning and his feet were light as if the whole world was upside down. He rushed out staggeringly as if he was drunk, and fell four times before he climbed onto the acupressure mat.

"oh--!"

Jiang Huarong let out a scream, but his dizzy and on strike brain immediately resumed working. His distracted eyes finally focused, and he picked up the jump rope and started jumping.

This jump exposed another weakness of Jiang Huarong's. Though he might appear cheerful and cheerful, he's actually incompetent at esports and his motor skills are underdeveloped. Even with just a few jumps, Jiang Huarong would step on or get hit by the rope after only three or four.

Fortunately, skipping rope counts cumulatively.

After stepping on the rope for who knows how many times, Jiang Huarong finally jumped 50 times, screaming and screaming, and then entered the next small task panting: blowing up three balloons.

Unsurprisingly, this level stumped Jiang Huarong for a long time. After popping one balloon, Jiang Huarong began to suffer from oxygen deprivation, his scalp tingling and dizziness. He tried several times to fill the second balloon, but all ended in failure. Finally, Zhou Huasheng said, "Don't try anymore. Just consider this round a practice run."

So, after changing his mood to "collecting failed experiences", Jiang Huarong was finally able to wait quietly for his body to recover before going to blow up the balloon again.

Ten minutes later, all three balloons were "broken into pieces". Jiang Huarong looked miserable with his body hollowed out. He staggered to the table, raised his water gun, and shot at the balloons thrown by the staff.

I thought this would be another long battle, but I didn't expect Jiang Huarong to be like a sharpshooter. He shot one person after another and never missed a target. It was completed in one minute.

[Finally, Giegie has some strengths besides her face. I was so scared I thought I was going to stop being a fan.]

[Is the person above a hidden career fan?]

[In fact, the connection between these seven small tasks is full of pitfalls. The first four tasks cannot be completed by one person at all. Each task debuffs the next task.]

[Stop talking, stop talking. Giegie really doesn't seem very smart. Let's see how his younger brother performs.]

The puzzle was a small puzzle with 36 pieces and the pattern was not complicated. Zhou Huasheng finished it in less than two minutes. He ran to the blackboard and saw the five addition and subtraction problems within 100. He wrote down the answers without hesitation.

The last event was the obstacle race. Zhou Huasheng looked at the hurdles that were not much shorter than him, his eyes flashed, and he crawled directly under them.

[Hahahaha, this is the first time I've seen someone hurdle like this.]

[If I passed the test without falling, how can it not count as a score?]

Zhou Huasheng turned the 100-meter hurdles race into a 100-meter sprint, which earned him the admiration of adults and screams of his friends.

The timekeeper announced the time it took them to complete the game: "Twenty minutes and 53 seconds."

Meanwhile, staff placed smaller hurdles next to the obstacle course. The PD announced, "Next, additional rules for the race. Passing under the hurdles is prohibited. Adults use hurdle number 1, and children use hurdle number 2."

The second group was Hanghang and Xiangtian. They learned from Jiang Huarong's lesson and divided the first four tasks between two people. Hanghang was responsible for the elephant trunk circle, puzzle and obstacle course.

Without the negative effects of spinning, Xiangtian saved a lot of time when completing the acupressure mat, skipping rope, and balloon popping tasks. Hanghang, at six years old, was the second oldest child, and his physical and intellectual development was more robust, making him a formidable ally with Xiangtian.

This round took them thirteen minutes and 18 seconds.

But Xiang Tian said confidently: "I lost time while skipping and shooting, but I've found the trick. I can shave another four or five minutes off the next round."

[Shooting can't be learned quickly. I feel like one round against Xiang Tianxia will still take five minutes.]

Hanghang wasn't as fast at solving puzzles as Peanut, so he wasn't in charge of math. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be able to do as much as Peanut. Xiangtian knew his son's math level, so he took care of the math himself.

[We are all children, please stop dragging others down and focus on watching the show.]

The next to appear are Nuomi and He Tian. Nuomi is a five-year-old child who is in the last year of kindergarten. She is at an age where she can only eat and sleep, which makes her unable to do anything well.

Therefore, He Tian only assigned her the task of spinning like an elephant's trunk. This spinning is a permanent debuff, which will seriously affect her performance once it is put on, which is just right for Nuomi.

Nuomi was not very happy, "Dad, I can do puzzles too. I do puzzles every day."

"But you're a slow speller."

That's because they were working so fast that there was nothing else to do. Nuomi didn't know how to express this feeling, so she glared at He Tian angrily and went to spin around.

[There seems to be a rumor that Nuomi comes from a single-parent family.]

Please stop spreading such unfounded rumors.

It seems like He Tian doesn't know how to get along with Nuomi. He always gives Nuomi what he thinks is appropriate, and Nuomi doesn't express her own ideas. Unlike Zhuo Bao and Rong Ge, they are a perfect example of successful parent-child communication.

[The main responsibility lies with He Tian, ​​right? How old is Nuomi, and she's being held responsible for the discord between her and her children?]

[Brother Rong's level can be achieved through learning and enlightenment, but Zhuo Bao is a special case. I have never seen a three-year-old express emotions so clearly.]

He Tian was also an ordinary person with no shooting experience. Like Xiang Tian, ​​he spent more than three minutes to complete this part. After the final statistics, they spent a total of fourteen minutes and thirty-nine seconds in this round.

Next was the Duoduo and Zhao Shaochu group. Zhao Shaochu was already a little discouraged, so he left the water gun, puzzle and obstacle course to Duoduo, and told him not to be nervous and to have fun.

Their mentality was not positive and their performance was problematic, so they broke the record for the longest time, with a total time of twenty-four minutes and eighteen seconds.

When everyone's eyes turned to her, Zhuozhuo, who was just watching the fun, realized it was her turn. She excitedly pointed at the acupressure mat, water gun, puzzle and obstacle course, "Dad, I want to play this, this, this, and this!"
