Chapter 767 New Mission
Although the episode started by giving the director a hard time by struggling to swim to the other side, given that it was a small task, the director only told them to find their own way to earn their living expenses for the next two days and did not impose any further restrictions.
Everyone naturally assumed that the next day would be the same as the previous episode, only showing their daily interactions.
Unexpectedly, they received a mission card right after finishing breakfast.
The card instructed them to meet at 9:30 a.m. at the place where they were assigned houses yesterday, at which time the production team would inform them of their new tasks for the day.
"A new mission?" Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow, instinctively feeling that the director was up to something again.
"What new mission?"
The cameraman made a zipping gesture towards his mouth, clearly knowing what the task was, but unable to say.
Ye Wanxi didn't make things difficult for him. She exchanged a glance with Feng Tianyu and headed to their destination on time.
When they arrived, all the other couples, except for Jiang Yulai and his group, were already there.
As soon as Ye Wanxi and her companion approached, the two girls immediately sidled up to her mysteriously and asked curiously, "Miss Ye, do you know what the new mission is?"
Seeing Ye Wanxi shake her head, the two were greatly disappointed, which amused Ye Wanxi.
"Do you know what the new mission is?"
"That's precisely why we're worried the director will come up with some weird missions to make things difficult for us," Zhao Yun'er said, leaning closer to Ye Wanxi and whispering, "We've already guessed several times before you came."
Ye Wanxi asked with a hint of curiosity, "So what did you guess?"
"Everyone says the production team either makes us perform on the streets, or like yesterday, they throw us into the river to survive. The production team is just getting more and more despicable."
Ye Wanxi: "..." You guys seem to know the show's style quite well.
The group was whispering together when Jiang Yulai and Ding Li arrived late.
It's worth mentioning that the two arrived one after the other, and they didn't stand together after they arrived, let alone stick together like conjoined twins all day long like yesterday.
Furthermore, although the weather hasn't fully warmed up these past few days, it's not like the dead of winter where the cold wind seems to seep into your bones and makes you shiver.
But Jiang Yulai was wearing an unusually thick turtleneck sweater today, looking extremely cold.
Seemingly noticing everyone's gaze, Jiang Yulai awkwardly explained, "I soaked in the water for too long yesterday and caught a bit of a cold."
Jiang Yulai's voice was very hoarse, which indeed confirmed his claim that he had a cold.
Zhao Yun'er and the others, without suspecting anything, politely expressed their concern and advised him to take care of his health.
The fans of Jiang Yulai in the live broadcast room were extremely distressed. While they were concerned about his health, they also cursed the production team for being heartless. Their brother's voice is meant for singing, and now that he has caught a cold, he can't sing well. How will the production team compensate them?
Only Ye Wanxi and Ding Li glanced thoughtfully at Jiang Yulai's neck and Ding Li, who showed no concern for her boyfriend's condition and looked annoyed and impatient, and vaguely guessed what was going on.
With everyone present, the director naturally made his leisurely and dazzling entrance.
He cleared his throat, ignoring the wary and probing gazes of the crowd, and said, "As you all probably already know, we called you here so early this morning because we have a new task for you to complete. And this new task is related to our return journey."
"Return?" The group exchanged glances, a sense of foreboding creeping over them. "What do you mean?"
"It means that those who complete the task will receive a return ticket and leave on a yacht arranged by the production team."
"What if we can't finish it?"
"Then there's nothing we can do. You'll have to stay here until you complete the mission."
The group was dumbfounded, clearly not expecting the director to answer like that. If they failed to complete the mission, wouldn't they be trapped here and die?
"Director, I have something to say."
When the director saw that it was Ye Wanxi who spoke, his heart skipped a beat, and he reluctantly replied, "Speak."
"Can we choose not to complete the program's tasks and leave without boarding the program's yacht?"
"no!"
As soon as Ye Wanxi finished speaking, the director exploded: "You can only travel on the yacht arranged by the production team; other modes of transportation are not valid!"
The director glared at Ye Wanxi fiercely as he spoke, as if to say: "Shut up. It's one thing to do things differently than what's expected, but don't set a bad example for the other guests."
Ye Wanxi: “…”
The people present: "..."
The viewers in the live stream burst into laughter.
He's getting anxious! He's getting anxious! He's really getting anxious!
[Hahaha, look at the director's expression. If he had a towel, he would definitely rush over and gag Xiao Yezi.]
[Ye Wanxi, the Rule Breaker: Making shows is so tiring! Come on, let me take you flying! Director: No, you don't want to! Shut up!!!]
[This is absolutely amazing! The director must be furious, but I'm so happy! Boss, beat him up, beat him up already!]
[Hahaha, the director always gets thrashed when he faces Xiao Yezi, but he never gives up, suffering defeat after defeat, yet he becomes more and more courageous with each battle.]
Seeing the director's face contorted with rage, as if his blood pressure was about to explode, Ye Wanxi wisely conceded, "Alright, then director, please tell us what the new mission is."
The director's expression softened, and he cleared his throat before continuing, "As you can see, this town is a very culturally distinctive and quaint place. In fact, this town not only has many beautiful ancient buildings, but also many intangible cultural heritages that are unknown to the general public but are extremely precious."
"Your main task today is to each find a shop that has intangible cultural heritage crafts, learn the craft from them for a day, and get their approval so that they can stamp this pass stamp on you. That will complete your mission."
The director's words stunned everyone, including the viewers in the live stream.
Intangible cultural heritage—this is a very precious craft. Would it be so easily passed on to others?
But then I thought, such a skill must require years of dedicated learning and experience accumulation before it is possible to truly master it.
In just one day, they probably won't even learn the basics; they'll only be able to put together a superficial understanding.
Since the director has said so, he must have consulted with these veteran craftsmen beforehand and sought their opinions.
In a way, this can be seen as a way of indirectly promoting traditional culture, which is a good thing.
After a brief silence, Nie Yuyang got to the point: "How can we find out which shop has this skill and is willing to teach us?"
