The expressions of the representatives of the scenic area became serious. They immediately realized that the various news and rumors they had received were not groundless.

You know, if it were a normal TV station, these scenic area representatives would dare to challenge them directly. In the programs organized by normal TV stations about them, they all flattered them and showed their "good" side.

Like this kind of thing where multiple scenic spots are brought together to play a knockout tournament...who would dare?

Isn't this equivalent to naming and saying which scenic spot is worse than another one? Most TV stations would definitely not do such an offensive thing, after all, scenic spots are related to the development of the local economy.

But this time!

This time the program is not like the previous ones where everyone is having fun, laughing, and playing games together.

This time, it's obviously serious!

In fact, they had all heard some news in advance, saying that the higher-ups were taking the lead in decisively boosting the development of the country's tertiary industry, and even that this program was just the beginning.

If they perform well, they will be invested with a lot of resources to further develop tourism projects. After hearing this news, although everyone tried their best to win the quota of this kind of sub-player, they still had doubts in their hearts.

But now, it is completely certain!

Everyone was thinking that it seemed that this time the higher-ups were planning to raise Gu, let the fittest survive, and elect the true king!

We really need to vigorously develop the tourism industry... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

The representatives of the scenic spot were all excited, but as the old saying goes, blessing and disaster lie somewhere close together. Since it is an elimination system, someone will always be eliminated!

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly changed.

Director Xie said: "There will be a total of seven contestants participating in this program, including the five of you seeded contestants and two 'open audition' scenic spot contestants. Can you introduce yourselves first?

Representatives of the scenic spot then stood up one after another and introduced themselves to everyone.

(Disclaimer: This book is about a parallel world and does not involve any real places or characters. Please do not take it personally.)

"Hello everyone! I am the representative of Hot Island City in the Ocean Province!"

The other four representatives, including Representative Xiao Xu, were secretly surprised that the Hai Province Hot Island Scenic Area was very famous and had bad intentions. It seemed to be a strong competitor!

The next representative stood up and said, "Hello, leaders. I am a representative from the Eighteen Villages of Mountains and Waters. Welcome everyone to visit our Eighteen Villages of Mountains and Waters!"

Everyone was shocked again. The reputation of this scenic spot was even higher than that of Redao City. The seeded players invited to this competition were indeed extraordinary and full of hidden talents.

The next person: "I am the representative of the Ancient Tea-Horse Town!"

Everyone nodded. After the shock brought by the previous two, this one didn't seem so shocking.

The next one: "I am a representative from Shengtang Ancient City! Compared to you all, our Shengtang Ancient City still needs to work harder. I am ashamed!"

This one's heavyweight category has dropped a notch, but it's still acceptable.

Finally, it was Representative Xiao Xu's turn.

"Hello everyone, I am the representative of Tianya Village Tourism Area. We will definitely try our best in the competition and strive to get good results!"

The four representatives all looked at Xiao Xu, and one of them even asked, "Tianya Village? What place is that? How come I have never heard of this attraction?"

"It was just built!" Representative Xiao Xu said shyly.

“……”The four representatives were dumbfounded.

Damn it! Our four cities are famous not only abroad, but also at home. The worst one is an ancient city with history and culture. How can you build a new one? A new one!?

You didn't come in through the back door, did you?

The four representatives seemed to have a thousand words in their minds, but it was not their turn to speak yet. After they introduced themselves, Director Xie first explained the rules of the competition.

"You five seeded contestants, plus two audition contestants, a total of seven contestants will enter the show's main competition. The show has a total of 11 episodes. In the first seven episodes, you will each show your own style and characteristics, and then eliminate two scenic spots in the end. In the last four episodes, one contestant will be eliminated in each episode to compete for the champion!

"If you have any opinions, you can raise your hands and speak now!"

"I have an opinion!"

Except for Representative Xiao Xu, the other four representatives raised their hands almost at the same time.

Finally, the representative of the largest tourism area in Redao City spoke first: "Director Xie, I think this is very unfair! Although we are all seeded players, our strengths are different. I think it is unfair to put us together to compete!"

"...What do you mean?" Director Xie asked curiously.

"What I mean is that we are all seeded players! We, Redao City, should be the gold seeded player, so we should have more shots. We can shoot the first seven rounds, but we won't participate in the elimination rounds, otherwise it would seem like we are bullying the weak!"

"You mean we should be directly admitted to the finals?" The representative of the Eighteen Shanshui Villages on the opposite side was not convinced. "If anyone wants to be admitted to the finals, we should be. Everyone knows that the scenery of our Eighteen Shanshui Villages is the best in the world. If we compete with everyone else, won't we steal everyone else's limelight?

"Director Xie said that the purpose of this competition is to promote the development of the tourism industry, so naturally we have to give everyone some limelight. As for us, Shanshui Eighteen Villages, we just need to get some limelight in the finals. We are not greedy!"

The representative of the Tea Horse Ancient Town could not stand it any longer and joined the battle: "That's not the case. A scenic spot is not just about the scenery, but also about the culture and services. In terms of fame and history, our Tea Horse Ancient Town is no worse than yours!"
