[Damn director, if you don't tell me, I'll kill you! Aa ...
"Wait, what's going on here? This director really loves doing this kind of thing..."
You have five seconds to finish, or I'll come and kill you...
Let's form a group and go slay that reckless director...
"Hehehe, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. Our mission today is... a jungle chase."
"Jungle chase? What does that mean? Is it a game where someone is coming to chase us?" Wen Xinran looked puzzled.
"Yes, that's roughly the idea. However, this game has chasers and chased, that is, hunters and 'prey,' which naturally divides you into two groups."
"So how exactly is it done?" Du Hewen asked.
"According to the game rules, there will be 3 hunters and 6 'prey' among you. During the hunt, hunters will randomly trigger traps, and there will also be random rewards—it all depends on your luck." The director cleared his throat and continued, "Of course, both hunters and prey can trigger traps, so please be careful!"
"Is there any reward?" Shen Shiqing asked curiously.
"There are rewards, of course! The hunter who finishes fastest and catches the most will receive a mystery grand prize, and of course, the last surviving prey will also receive a reward," the reckless director coughed a few times. "The robot will explain the specific game rules. I ate something spicy last night, and my throat's a bit sore, so I'm outta here! Looking forward to everyone's performance!"
"He ran away like that, what a reckless director..." Qin Shiyue shook his head. He had heard about the director's temperament before, but he didn't expect him to be so casual.
The director's voice faded away, and the mechanical sounds of robots quickly filled the air.
"Game Rules – 3 hunters, 6 prey. Prey must tie a green ribbon to their hand; if a hunter catches the ribbon, the prey is eliminated. The game lasts 4 hours. Prey have 15 minutes to hide and trigger random rewards. Fifteen minutes after the game starts, the hunters begin their capture operation. Captured prey will be returned to the small house they built yesterday. Prey can rescue teammates and gain the right to revive, but can only revive once. If captured again, they will be disqualified from the game. The hunter who captures the most prey and the one with the shortest time will win the grand prize. The last surviving prey will also receive the same reward."
"As expected, it's a robot. Human laziness drives social progress." Shen Shiqing sighed, wondering why the director, who seemed to have no regard for his life, had to come out and make an appearance.
"Sister Shi, you're so funny," Qin Shiyue eagerly chimed in.
"Hehe." Shen Shiqing had nothing to say.
[This reckless director clearly loves to act, even though he's terrible at it.]
Indeed, it would be faster to have a robot do it.
[Sister Shi is so eloquent, hahaha!]
[On the surface, they're talking about technological advancements, but actually they're just saying that the director is lazy and reckless, hahaha]
[The reckless director: Teacher Shen, you know how to compliment people!]
"Oh, to make the process even more exciting, we'll be providing everyone with a cameraman!" the reckless director suddenly chimed in. "The cameraman might reveal your whereabouts, so please be careful!"
Shen Shiqing turned around and saw that a row of cameramen wearing masks and carrying cameras had appeared behind him, and some of them seemed to have already turned on their own cameras.
"In that case, let's start drawing lots."
"What are we using to draw?" Xing Jianan asked, uttering his first words of the day.
Aren't you afraid of suffocating if you don't talk all day?
Since the production team hasn't responded, they'll have to handle it themselves.
Shen Shiqing pondered for a moment, his gaze falling on the plant beside him—it was a rush.
"How about we use this?" Everyone followed Shen Shiqing's directions, but they didn't understand why.
"What's the use of this thing? Are you out of your mind?" Xia Chun said with a look of disdain.
"Perhaps you want to use this herb for the lottery?" Lu Jingchu asked.
“The three short ones are the hunter, and the six long ones are the prey,” the two said in unison, somewhat surprised but then they smiled at each other.
"Sister Shi and Brother Lu are so in sync, they don't even have me, hmph." Xiao Xia pretended to be angry, puffing up her cheeks, which was exceptionally cute.
As a result, the way they addressed Lu Jingchu also changed.
"Next time, I'll only be in sync with you, okay?" All Shen Shiqing could do was coax her.
Who could blame her? Xia was just so adorable! She was exactly her type.
Of course, Lu Yingdi was also to her liking. Sometimes she remembered that Xia was quite similar to Lu Yingdi in some ways when they were young.
Perhaps it was her imagination.
"Okay, this is what Sister Shi said, and you said it too~"
"Yes, yes, that's what I said~"
"Let's do it this way then. We'll use this for the lottery." Song Zhihuai didn't object.
"To be fair, why don't we let Actor Lu hold it and then we'll draw lots?" Wen Xinran naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to curry favor, which was exactly what Shen Shiqing had expected.
“I think it’s a good idea.” As expected of a “good sister!” Xia Chun couldn’t wait to agree.
The group drew lots, but some were hesitant to look, unsure of what they would draw.
"Then let's take them out and look at them together."
Once everyone has put out their slips, it's immediately clear who has the longer and who has the shorter ones.
Holy crap, seriously? This draw is just too dramatic.
[This is truly an outcome I didn't expect... Shen Shiqing is a hunter? Or the only female hunter in the entire event? Wait, there's another female hunter?]
Wow, to be honest, I'm kind of looking forward to Shen Shiqing's performance~ Will he win? Probably?
I doubt it, considering the significant power disparity between men and women.
[You forgot, is Shen Shiqing just an ordinary person? She's anything but ordinary~]
Now that you put it that way, I'm not sure either.
[Shen Shiqing is a hunter, so there are other hunters left... wait, let me see... oh my god, it's Xing Jianan?! And... Xiao Shixia?]
[Okay, without a doubt, the remaining targets are Wen Xinran, Song Zhihuai, Xia Chun, Qin Shiyue, Lu Jingchu, and Du Hewen.]
[Oh my god, if the prey in this cat-and-mouse game were Actor Lu, I'd actually be tempted!!!]
Who will win over Lu Yingdi?! !?!
...
The outcome was already quite clear. Shen Shiqing wasn't too surprised; since it had been drawn, he might as well accept it.
In any case, being the hunter or the prey didn't make much difference to her.
But being a hunter is still more fun.
Xia Xiao was a little dejected. She was starting to worry about what she would do if she couldn't catch any prey.
Shen Shiqing patted her head to comfort her.
Xia Xiaoxia's pitiful appearance softened Shen Shiqing's heart.
"Ahhhhhh, she's so cute!"
