Chapter 196 Game

There are too many exciting and secret topics between An Ling and Ren Limeng, the long-time popular host of the Orange platform and the hotly discussed new female host, the originally scheduled first guest and the lucky winner who replaced her to record. It is worth watching the fun.

Ren Limeng looked at the stage in front of the hall with a smile on her face. An Ling and other new guests walked slowly onto the stage, stood beside Wu Yue, and greeted everyone in turn. The first one to pick up the microphone was An Ling.

"Long time no see everyone! I'm An Ling, the host of Orange Platform. I'm finally here on "Shan Hai" to share the mountains and seas with everyone! Thank you all for your applause. Yueyue, I noticed that there are many familiar guests on this recording! Brother Chen He..."

Even with just a few short words, An Ling immediately boosted the atmosphere of the entire venue. Unlike the gentleness in the training room just now, An Ling on the stage casually mentioned the first-episode performances of Shen Xingzhi, Chen He, Chen Xi and others during the greetings. The enthusiastic interaction unconsciously boosted the atmosphere of the entire venue. An Ling was so calm that she looked more like the host of the venue than Wu Yue.

In other words, as Wu Yue's frequent female partner, An Ling's introduction is also like a hosting.

Although An Ling initially became famous through gossip, just by listening to these few self-introductions that took care of all parties, Ren Limeng couldn't help but secretly sigh that the top host of the Orange platform should not be underestimated. Even though she has been hosting the entertainment channel for many years, An Ling's basic skills are still completely flawless, and her ability to control the situation is already evident.

Without prejudice, I can say that An Ling should be a good host.

Ren Limeng clapped her hands sincerely, her smiling eyes quietly falling on An Ling who had returned to her seat. Through Li Qingzi beside her, their eyes met in the air for a moment, and then they moved to the sides at the same time.

At this moment, Wu Yue has continued to introduce the five tourist destinations of the Three Dukes.

"This time, everyone's destination selection will require the help of a classic game - Draw and Guess."

As Wu Yue spoke, he raised his left hand and pointed to the central screen above his head. The screen played an animation introducing the rules of the game. Ren Limeng summarized that each team would send two guests, one to gesture and the other to guess. The gesturing guests were not allowed to speak, and the content of the gestures were all domestic scenic spots. Each team had three minutes, and the team with more correct guesses won.

"Does anyone want to join?"

After the animation was over, as the captain, Ren Limeng turned her gaze to the side and looked at the other three people in the team and asked the first question.

An Ling, Li Qingzi, and Fei Jingting remained silent, looking at each other. Finally, An Ling said, "All right. Why don't you decide, Captain?"

In front of the camera, none of the four of them are competitive, so Ren Limeng expected this suggestion.

Noticing Li Qingzi and Fei Jingting nodding, Ren Limeng pondered for a moment before finally speaking slowly, "Time is limited, so I'll just state my thoughts directly. How about Sister Ling and Jingting go ahead? I remember Sister Ling has played games on many variety shows, and Jingting is a travel blogger, so she should be familiar with various attractions. What do you think?"

Speaking of everyone, Ren Limeng's gaze was mainly directed at Li Qingzi. The decision to use mini-games at the travel destination was not only to enhance the fun of recording, but also to have richer pictures during the broadcast. The two guests sent by each team will definitely have more editing shots, and everyone knows this.

As the team leader, Ren Limeng was the first to give up this part of the presentation. She chose An Ling and Fei Jingting for good reason, all for the sake of the team. Having said that, even if Li Qingzi had other ideas, she could only smile softly and say, "No problem, Limeng's arrangement makes sense."

Fei Jingting looked at Ren Limeng in surprise. Team Chen Xi and Team Chen He, which had already sent good people, both chose their captains to compete and paired them with more famous players in the team. This was a combination that everyone expected. From this point of view, Fei Jingting had never thought that Ren Limeng would propose that she participate.

"Okay, Captain, I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

No matter what Ren Limeng was thinking, Fei Jingting accepted Ren Limeng's feelings at the moment. She secretly felt that maybe her bet on choosing Ren Limeng to form a team in the second round of double selection was right. Without thinking about it anymore, she stood up and looked at Ren Limeng with a firm smile.

An Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Ren Limeng calmly. She didn't say anything, just nodded and walked towards the stage with Fei Jingting.

Except for Ren Limeng's team, only Shen Xingzhi's team sent Fan Xinran and Guo Guang, while the captains of other teams were competing. Ren Limeng noticed the players of Shen Xingzhi's team and subconsciously glanced at Shen Xingzhi who was still sitting in the same place, and happened to bump into Shen Xingzhi's deep and quiet eyes.

Chen Xingzhi crossed his legs and sat upright in his seat. His slender fingers slowly hung down at his sides, curled naturally, with just the right amount of coldness, as if the bustle in the hall had nothing to do with him.

Ren Limeng looked at Chen Xingzhi, whose emotions were unpredictable. Facing the cameras on all sides, Chen Xingzhi raised his eyelids slightly, staring at her intently, or looking at other team members who were standing up in her direction. He exuded a cold and aloof temperament.

Ren Limeng had seen Shen Xingzhi like this many times in videos. In her impression, Shen Xingzhi had always been so calm and indifferent in many activities he participated in over the years, as if he was just a bystander to all the noisy activities.

But in "Shan Hai", Shen Xingzhi never behaved like this.

Even at the beginning of the first public performance, Ren Limeng could actually vaguely feel that Shen Xingzhi's aloof expression was filled with too many emotions, which was different from his current calmness. He made her feel more real and within reach.

Ren Limeng blinked, her eyes still fixed on Shen Xingzhi, while Shen Xingzhi had raised his head slightly, as if turning all his attention back to his teammates who had started playing the game, without even giving Ren Limeng a single extra glance.

Ren Limeng finally withdrew her gaze indifferently.

She broke the appointment, but it wasn't her intention not to be in the same team with him. It was arranged by the production team. Why was he so cold to her?

Although...she did not hide her excitement about being the captain for a while in the first half of the recording, but as a first-time captain and an unknown person, it is only natural for her to be happy.

It's just a matter of teams. Why is he getting mad at her? Isn't that childish?

Ren Limeng was looking at the guests playing the game on the stage, but her eyes were a little wandering. It was not until Wu Yue announced the results that she finally turned her attention back to the recording. An Ling and Fei Jingting from their team won the second place in the Guess Who game and would be the second to choose the travel destination.

At this moment, the central screen has displayed five keywords related to the five travel destinations of the third stop:

Yunmeng Chivalrous Jianghu Legends and Strange Tales

The five keywords are all very abstract, carrying ancient imagery and a sense of history. In the ancient land of Jingchu, many places can be described with the same keywords.

Even though he was from Jingchu, Ren Limeng couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

She had agreed to form a team with Chen Xingzhi for the three public performances. What she thought about more in the past few days was naturally how to join Chen Xingzhi's team. As for the travel destination, that was something that Chen Xingzhi, as the captain, needed to worry about more. The recording of Mei City had been completed, and no matter where they went to check in for the trip, Ren Limeng had no extra thoughts.

But now that she is the new captain, she can't help but consider it.

“Does anyone have any keywords they’d like to choose?”

The team that won first place in the game was Shen Xing's team. While Shen Xing's team was about to make a choice, Ren Limeng looked at the other members of her team.

"Anything is fine."

"Li Meng, you are from Jingchu, I will listen to you!"

"Yes, Li Meng, you are the captain, you decide!"

Fei Jingting, Li Qingzi and An Ling are all very easy-going, but when it comes to making a choice, having no ideas is not necessarily a good thing.

"Time is tight, so I won't ask any more questions. I have no idea what these keywords are. So, everyone can eliminate one keyword, and the remaining one will be our choice. I'm going to cheat a bit and use the word chosen by Brother Xingzhi's team as my elimination option."

Ren Limeng smiled and looked at the other three people. Such a simple and crude choice logic made the whole team silent for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, everyone seemed to have no reason to object. This was a very fair method. Everyone decided the destination together.

"Then... I want to rule out the strange things."

Fei Jingting glanced calmly at Li Qingzi and An Ling who were silent beside her, and responded with a smile. After she finished speaking, Li Qingzi and An Ling finally spoke up and made their own exclusion choices.

In the end, the only two words left were "jianghu" and "xiayi".

Ren Limeng looked at Shen Xingzhi who walked onto the stage, watching him slowly stick the card with the word "chivalry" behind his team, and slowly revealed the location behind the keyword - Fancheng.

"Then our team will choose Jianghu."

Behind the keyword "jianghu" is Gangcheng.

Ren Limeng stared at the word "Gangcheng" with some surprise, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt it was expected. Gangcheng has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It is located on the border of many countries and there are constant disputes. Various forces compete here, and the atmosphere of rivers and lakes has existed from ancient times to the present.

After making a choice that was neither good nor bad, Ren Limeng felt more realistic about her third public performance recording.

The sky in Jiangcheng was still gloomy, and the dense raindrops hitting the iron roof seemed like the most natural drumbeat rhythm. After finishing the third public performance and leaving the recording studio, Ren Limeng was about to embark on a new journey, but her mood was inexplicably as depressed as the rainy weather in Jiangcheng these days.

The leaves of the sycamore trees on the road fluttered and rustled in the rain. The wind blew the raindrops onto their faces, bringing a hint of coolness. Ren Limeng and her team, under the arrangement of the program crew, were preparing to take a bus to the high-speed rail station. They had already bought high-speed rail tickets departing from Gangcheng at 1 p.m.

"Brother Xingzhi is coming towards us!"

Everyone was standing on the roadside holding umbrellas, waiting for Team Chen He and the crew to leave. Fei Jingting looked around and suddenly noticed that Shen Xingzhi, who was still in the recording studio behind them, had left the team and was walking towards them with an umbrella. She couldn't help but exclaimed.

Ren Limeng subconsciously followed the direction of Fei Jingting's gaze. She pursed her lips slightly, and her eyelashes cast fine shadows under her eyes. The hazy rain silently passed by her side, and also brushed past Chen Xingzhi who was strolling leisurely with an umbrella.
