He hasn't been this lucky on this show in a long time.
But Director Jiang's subsequent actions left him speechless...
Guo Zhuyan gave a dazed "Oh," making it impossible to tell whether he believed them or not.
"On our side, Qin Yuanyao and the others were the first to come out of the reading room where they were being held..." Guo Zhuyan explained their situation in detail, including how they gave up going to the exit with Li Xuan's mother in order to find Feng Wenhe's family and Ge Zhiyi's family.
After listening, Feng Wenhe said with a regretful expression, "If we had known earlier that there was an exit behind the iron gate, we wouldn't have gone in by ourselves. We would have definitely tried to find you and get out together."
Guo Zhuyan smiled and casually said, "Who knew there would be so many exits?"
I think Feng Wenhe was a bit dishonest. When they were halfway through the secret passage behind the iron gate, they should have sensed that there might be an exit ahead, especially Feng Wenhe, who was at the front. He should have had some sense of it. They should have gone back then, found the others, and then gone out together.
[Actually, I think so too. When they found the iron gate and opened it, they shouldn't have gone in immediately. They should have waited until they found the others before explaining the situation and having everyone go in together. Even if the iron gate wasn't the exit but some strange secret room, it would have been safer for everyone to be together.]
[No, Ge Zhidu said their successful escape was entirely accidental. How can some people not understand this and insist on blaming Feng Wenhe and Ge Zhidu for coming out first?]
[Qin Yuanyao and the others also went to search under the paulownia tree while searching for Feng Wenhe and Ge Zhi. Why didn't anyone say that Qin Yuanyao and the others shouldn't have gone to the paulownia tree first, but should have found Feng Wenhe and Ge Zhi first before going to search under the paulownia tree?]
Exactly! This was all a series of coincidences; there's no right or wrong here!
Whether there were ulterior motives involved in this matter is something only the guests themselves know. Personally, I don't think things are as simple as they portray them.
I think the most selfless group was Teacher Guo and his group of nine. They all gave up going to the exit with Li Xuan's mother and were the first to come out of the secret room. They went to such lengths, and to criticize them for not going to retrieve the items under the sycamore tree first is utterly absurd.
Hey, stop arguing! Who escapes first and who escapes last doesn't really matter! You'll find out soon enough...
Director Jiang, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, approached Qin Yuanyao and the others.
"Who chooses a room first?" Director Jiang asked, looking them over.
Xing Yu glanced at Cao Feiyue and Qi Tian and said, "Let's choose last. We haven't been able to solve any of the codes. If it weren't for everyone's help, we'd probably still be in the secret room right now."
Cao Feiyue actually wanted to choose first.
She felt that since they were new guests this season, the other veteran guests should take care of them and let them choose first.
However, after hearing Xing Yu say that, Cao Feiyue definitely couldn't express her true thoughts.
More importantly, Xing Yu's words made a lot of sense.
If it weren't for the other people, they would definitely still be in the secret room.
Furthermore, she skipped through the live replays of the first two seasons.
Qin Yuanyao always slept in separate rooms from Chi Baiyi.
If in the end they only have one room left, then her sharing a room with Xing Yu will definitely generate a lot of buzz and bring her a lot of traffic.
Thinking of this, Cao Feiyue felt much more at ease.
She smiled sweetly and said, "Yes! Yu Yu is right, we'll choose last."
Qi Tian nodded in agreement.
Ye Rui said, "Yaoyao, you guys choose first. You are the main force in this escape mission. Without you, we wouldn't be able to solve many of the mysteries."
“Yes, you guys choose first.” Guo Zhuyan agreed with his wife.
Seeing this, Qin Yuanyao did not refuse and said, "Okay, let's go first."
"The order has been decided?" Director Jiang confirmed with a beaming smile.
Everyone nodded in unison.
"Okay." Director Jiang said, taking his hands out from behind his back.
He gestured with his eyes to the bamboo tube in his hand and said to Qin Yuanyao and the others, "Who wants to draw one?"
"Draw?" Qin Yuanyao craned her neck to look at the three folded slips of paper in the bamboo tube and asked, "Is this what you meant by the better you play the game, the sooner you can choose a room?"
"Yes!" Director Jiang said, pretending not to understand. "Teacher Ge's family let Teacher Feng's family draw the slip of paper first. They were the first to escape and played the game the best, so they got to choose their rooms first."
"You didn't even let us see what the room looks like, and you're just making us draw randomly by luck. What does that have to do with how well you play the game? No matter how good you are at the game, if you have bad luck with the blind draw, it doesn't matter which draw you get," Qin Yuanyao said.
"There is a difference," Director Jiang insisted. "The last group of guests can only choose what the other guests have left. Isn't that a difference? At least the first four groups of guests had a choice, but the last group of guests didn't even have a choice."
Qin Yuanyao "..."
I'm completely speechless.
Whether it's the production team or the show's producers who know how to have fun, they're definitely more adept at it.
So this is how the show's room selection works (facepalm)? Blindly picked! (facepalm) It's all based on luck! (facepalm) And it has absolutely nothing to do with how well you play the escape room game! (facepalm)
Director Jiang truly grasps the profound essence of the Chinese language (smiles), completely outmaneuvering the guests!
[If we had known that the rooms were selected this way, the guests could have had a much more leisurely time playing in the escape room.]
[The production team is the best at setting traps! They really know how to fool the guests!]
[Don't worry, everyone upstairs, this is just the beginning, there's more to come (smile)]
Having already learned all the tricks the production team used from Feng Wenhe and Ge Zhi's live streams, we won't spoil it for you. Just keep reading! (smile)
"Are you going to draw or not? If not, let the other guests draw first!" Director Jiang urged them confidently.
Qin Yuanyao glared at Director Jiang with annoyance. "Go ahead and draw, why don't you? You set the rules, what can we say?"
Director Jiang was very satisfied with Qin Yuanyao's reaction and smiled broadly, "Not at all, our production team always puts the guests first."
Qin Yuanyao was too lazy to talk to him, so she turned her head and said kindly to Chi Naozi, "Naozi, you can draw it."
"Great!"
Chi Nailu pulled a slip of paper out of the bamboo tube without hesitation.
The note said 3.
"Which room is this?" Chi Nao asked.
"No rush, I'll tell you after everyone else has finished drawing," Director Jiang said with a smile.
Guo Zhuyan's family drew a slip of paper with the number 5 written on it.
The last note left for Xing Yu and her internship family had the number 2 written on it.
