The hide-and-seek game has ended, and Su Ying and Zhu Mingyue's team scored a high score of 4.9.

Fang Lei was unconvinced and grabbed the assistant director, asking, "Assistant director, why did their group score 0.1 points higher than ours?"

The assistant director said, "Because they quit faster than you did."

“…Okay.” Fang Lei was speechless for a moment.

[Hahaha! Turns out, being quick to abstain is a plus!]

[Ning Shi secretly regrets: Damn it! If only I had forfeited earlier, I might have been able to secure a top-four finish and even compete for a top-five!]

[Fang Lei: I put you guys in my pocket, and you kicked me into the ditch? We agreed to be brothers in misfortune, how can you be 0.1 points higher than us?]

[Lei Zi: The sky has fallen, we're in last place!]

[Hahaha, Li Zi remained silent, only nervously wiping away sweat.]

It was well past noon, but the guests still hadn't had lunch.

The assistant director gave a brief summary of the hide-and-seek game and then quickly told the staff to serve the food immediately, lest the guests starve.

Considering that everyone had used up a lot of energy, the lunch consisted mainly of meat dishes.

The guests were already starving, and they were so engrossed in eating that they had no time to chat.

Apart from Fang Lei.

"Oh my god, this meat is so delicious!"

He ate the meat with gusto, praising it repeatedly, though his words weren't very clear, but he was trying his best to express his enjoyment.

"Assistant director, where did you find this chef? His cooking skills are amazing!"

The assistant director replied from the other side: "Don't worry about where you hired the chef, just enjoy this opportunity and eat as much as you want! Once the show is over, you won't be able to eat like this anymore."

"Ah..." Fang Lei almost cried when he heard this, and immediately ate even more vigorously.

Oh dear, look how hungry Lei is! I'm worried he'll eat me alive if this food is even a second later!

Eat up, kid. After the show ends, your manager will drag you back to eat grass like a dog.

[Stop talking, all of you! If you keep talking, Lei Zi is really going to cry!]

Cry, cry, let your tears mix with rice, the more you eat, the more romantic it becomes.

After lunch, all seven guests were feeling drowsy. To make the afternoon games more energetic, the production team specially set aside an hour for the guests to go back to their rooms for a nap.

The rain outside is still drizzling, and such a gloomy, rainy day is perfect for snuggling up in bed.

Zhu Jinzhao returned to her room, first went to the dressing room to change her clothes, then lay down on the bed, and slowly fell asleep while watching the rain outside the balcony.

Forty minutes later, Shi Jing, who also served as an alarm clock, rang again outside the door.

"Chaochao, wake up."

"Ha..." Zhu Jinzhao yawned, replied "Okay" and slowly crawled out of bed.

Before going to bed, she removed all the light makeup from her face, leaving her completely bare-faced.

After getting dressed and casually combing her hair with her fingers, she walked to the door in her slippers to open it.

Shi Jing's smiling face and the dark live stream camera both entered her field of vision, while her fair and beautiful face also entered the live stream camera at the same time.

Wow, Zhu Jinchao's face is so radiant! Youth is truly wonderful.

[Waaaaah, I was just as pretty as Zhu Jinzhao when I was in college, but now I've been turned into a dry, withered, and sallow old hag by the stench of my class.]

Hey, young girls in their early twenties actually look better without makeup.

Youth and vitality are their best cosmetics. (P.S.: This doesn't apply to those who are already working.)

[Hahaha! I hope she hasn't truly experienced the harsh realities of life yet, and cherishes her current youthful and vibrant appearance.]

Zhu Jinzhao smiled with a bewildered look in her eyes and greeted Shi Jing in a hoarse voice: "Good afternoon."

Shi Jing smiled and replied, "Good afternoon, you can go out now."

Zhu Jinzhao nodded slowly, then turned and walked into the room: "I'll come back after I change my shoes."

Shi Jing leaned against the doorway and waited for her: "Mm."

...

In the living room on the first floor, the guests gradually arrived.

The assistant director tidied up his little bee and loudly announced the second game of the day.

"The second game tests the teamwork between partners and is called 'Pictionary'."

"Literally, the 'I Draw, You Guess' game involves one person drawing a picture, and the other two people guess the correct answer based on what they've drawn. As usual, the three teams of compatible partners are divided into groups, and the group that guesses the most questions correctly will receive the highest score. The scoring system remains out of ten."

"The game 'Pictionary' has been quite popular recently, and I'm sure everyone is familiar with it."

"Not unfamiliar." All seven guests answered in unison.

The assistant director nodded in satisfaction, and then announced the rules for disrupting the game: "To ensure the competitiveness of the game, after the 'Pictionary' game officially begins, everyone can still disrupt their competitors. However, the rules for disrupting are different this time. Each group must complete its own task before it can start disrupting the groups that have not completed their tasks."

"Therefore, this round of the game will not only test the teamwork between partners, but also the speed at which everyone completes the tasks. Falling behind will mean losing the initiative, so please hurry up."

“…Here we go again.” After hearing the rules of the game, Ning Shi could already feel the pressure from Shandong University.

Fang Lei gently patted the back of her hand, calmly reassuring her: "It's okay. This time, there are conditions for causing trouble. As long as we make sure we're the first to finish the game, we won't be bothered by others."

Li Weiwan turned to look at him: "How can you guarantee that? Can we really beat Jinzhao and Shijing?"

"I..." Fang Lei was momentarily speechless at the two questions, then forced a confident tone and said, "Of course I can win! The 'You Draw, I Guess' game tests teamwork. Although Jin Zhao is very smart, if Shi Jing and she don't have good teamwork, then all her intelligence is wasted!"

"Yeah!" Ning Shi nodded emphatically in agreement, "What a waste!"

[Hey? I think Lei Zi makes a lot of sense! This game tests teamwork. If Jin Zhao and Shi Jing don't have teamwork, then no matter how smart Jin Zhao is, it's useless. They'll just end up with one asking a question and the other answering "duck!"]

[Hahaha, that's right! And what's even more optimistic is that Jinzhao and Shijing really have no chemistry! Every time Shijing tries to flirt with Jinzhao, Jinzhao manages to turn around and feed the chickens.]

[Ahhh, there's hope! There's hope! As long as Jinzhao and Shijing don't have any chemistry, then Shi Bao is saved!]

[Oh my god, is our Shi Bao finally going to escape the oppression of the Great Demon King of Chaos?!]

[Hahaha! May this era finally be over, now it's time to see Yingying's turn!]
