Chapter 10
There was a short break after the theme song was recorded. Before the teams for the first performance were assigned based on the theme song ratings, the program team launched a new special planning chapter - an immersive script-killing column - in order to increase the popularity between the two recordings.
Ten players are randomly assigned roles in each interactive game, each with a different mission or objective. Some players must conceal their true identities to create an information gap. Others must uncover these hidden identities. At the end of the game, a vote determines who is eliminated. If the secret player is eliminated, the regular player wins; otherwise, the secret player wins. The game then enters a battle royale round, where the final survivor receives a special gift.
The first episode's production team clearly aimed for popularity, with all contestants being popular choices, each garnering significant controversy. They carefully selected celebrities who were frequently discussed on major websites, and a prince of the royal family like Zheng Yanye naturally wouldn't be left out.
Of course, Jiang Shiyu, who has been the subject of much discussion for years, is also on the list.
Zheng Yan knew about this plan before him. The program team first released the voting process to the fans. The newly opened charging list was inexplicable. The small print said that it had nothing to do with the ranking of the players in the first public group. The title also vaguely said that the top three on this list would receive a mysterious gift.
It whets people's appetite.
As soon as Renwu released the information about the new list, fans from all over the place started to criticize the production team for being inhumane and using all kinds of tricks to force members to spend money.
Of course, there were also fans who took advantage of the chaos to mock, "If you don't have money to vote, please stop being jealous."
Amidst the chaos among all parties, Zheng Yan opened the audition group as usual, not affected at all, his eyes stopped on the "mysterious gift".
His lovely roommate had just suffered an injustice in the practice room yesterday. Jiang Shiyu's face turned pale with anger, and there was a glimmer in the corner of his eyes, which made him furious. Although he appeared in the first place to "save the beauty", Jiang Shiyu was still inevitably hurt.
Even on the way back, some people were whispering that Jiang Shiyu had no fans or popularity and only relied on his face to curry favor with people.
How could it be possible? Zheng Yan also wanted to turn around and stop the people watching the show. If Jiang Shiyu took one look at them, he was afraid that this group of people would immediately become arrogant and willingly prostrate themselves on the ground, losing their way. What did they mean by "it's just a face"?
Do these people not use the internet? Haven't you seen how many die-hard Jiang Shiyu fans there are now? The only people watching the talent show are those who fell in love with Jiang Shiyu after seeing his face or those who kissed other people blindly.
Several fans of high-ranking celebrities colluded to deliberately not vote for Jiang Shiyu, and he was able to get into the debut position purely by relying on his fans. Although it was a marginal position, his strength is still evident.
Zheng Yan also sneered, saying that some blind people should just cover their ears and run forward.
He skillfully clicked on Jiang Shiyu's super chat again, and the fan club's pinned notice had just been updated: Considering the demand for subsequent voting, no official support will be organized for this mysterious event for the time being ~ Everyone can vote for Xiaoyu on their own ~
The comments were all about "understanding", "respect", and "obeying the arrangements of the fan club".
Ever since he spent six figures on a limited-time flag-pulling bet, Zheng Yan has clearly become a core figure in Jiang Shiyu's fan circle.
His private messages are filled with a lot of unread messages, and his fans are obviously thinking more:
"Well, are we really not going to participate in this vote?"
"What if the mysterious gift is linked to the subsequent program arrangements?"
"Will Xiaoyu be secretly sad because he thinks he's unpopular?"
"Those people shouldn't deliberately show off their sarcasm in front of Xiaoyu."
Zheng Yan also looked at the message, and his brows furrowed more and more as he read.
What these people say makes sense!
Given Jiang Shiyu's naiveté, what if he really thought that no one voted and he was crying quietly in the dormitory?
He couldn't bear it when he thought of Jiang Shiyu's red eyes.
Isn’t it just voting!
He is here.
@越亦我所欲也: [Picture] Don’t worry
As soon as the six-digit voting payment record was released, it immediately received crazy likes from fans.
A group of people below said that they were no longer worried now that their sister was here, saying that Yu Siyou was not a big deal, and Jiang Shiyu had also married into a wealthy family.
This group of people are really good at talking.
With this blessing, Jiang Shiyu easily took first place in this sudden vote. Zheng Yan also looked at Jiang Shiyu's profile picture wearing a small crown with great pleasure, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became.
But why is the guardian next to him Luo Wenxi?
Why are you with my wife? It's such an eyesore.
The next second, Zheng Yanye also invested some money in himself. He was not satisfied until Zheng Yanye's profile picture replaced Luo Wenxi and Jiang Shiyu.
The beautiful child next to the beautiful child is also a beautiful child. Next to Jiang Shiyu should be Zheng Yanye, two handsome faces put together, it is pleasing to the eye.
This is a perfect match, okay?
*
After the PD brought the members to the venue, they officially announced the function of the new list: the ranking determines the order of choosing clothes.
Zheng Yanye: ...
That's it? The damn production team really knows how to make money.
He wasn't the only one with this thought. Ten people were all wondering if such a big deal as choosing clothes was worth calling everyone out. Otherwise, just go to bed.
The PD noticed their complaints and quickly explained with a smile, "Different costumes correspond to different identities and are closely related to the subsequent game content. Please choose carefully."
“It’s first come, first served, and you never lose out by voting.”
…
The program crew always makes a profit.
At this point, the top three went ahead to choose their outfits. Zheng Yan immediately fell in love with the white dress in the middle. The layers of intricate lace were elegant and exquisite, with delicate gold thread edging the cuffs and slightly puffed shoulders. Paired with a delicate silver crown, it was tailor-made for His Royal Highness, exuding an air of elegance.
Jiang Shiyu's name is written on this suit.
He took off the suit without hesitation and handed it to Jiang Shiyu: "Xiaoyu, you will look good in this."
This outfit was too formal. Jiang Shiyu hesitated: "Me?"
"Try it, please."
Zheng Yan also stared at him intently, so Jiang Shiyu had no choice but to take over: "...Okay."
When Jiang Shiyu emerged, dressed in his new clothes, everyone's eyes lit up. The prince's uniform was exquisitely tailored, with lines that cinched and fitted, and the tulle folded across his chest perfectly, evoking both elegance and strength. The cape behind him exuded a sense of sanctity, a fairytale-like solemnity and a sense of ritual. Even more remarkable was the culottes beneath, delicately wrapped around Jiang Shiyu's radiant white calves, embellished with flowing floral patterns and layered, swaying gently with his steps.
Just like the little prince in the fairy tale.
Zheng Yan followed Jiang Shiyu without blinking. Xiao Yu was so stunningly beautiful that he could even imagine how many crazy fans would call her "wife" and "mom" would appear in the comments when the show was aired.
Jiang Shiyu tugged at his trouser legs nervously: "Isn't this outfit too exaggerated?"
Luo Wenxi was the first to come to his senses. He smiled and said, "How can I be exaggerated? It suits you perfectly."
Zheng Yan also glared at him. Why was this guy interrupting him again?
The next second he was also called out, and Luo Wenxi pointed at him mercilessly: "It's really beautiful, look, Zheng Yan is also stunned."
Zheng Yanye: ???
You're trying to steal my girlfriend and step on me to get to the top? ? ? Is there anyone as stupid as you?
Before he could even grit his teeth and explode, he could only accept the perverted persona under Jiang Shiyu's gaze and sincerely followed Luo Wenxi's words: "I said this one suits you."
Jiang Shiyu revealed a faint dimple: "Then I will choose this one."
After His Royal Highness confirmed the decision, the rest of the process sped up. Zheng Yan and Luo Wenxi simultaneously picked up the clothes of the prince's fiancé, the Viscount. Due to the voting order, Zheng Yan also received priority.
He said "sorry" to Luo Wenxi slowly and leisurely, with a mixture of three parts ridicule, three parts relief and four parts nonchalance, and immediately rushed to the changing room with his clothes.
Fortunately, he voted for himself, so Jiang Shiyu’s fiancé can only be him, Zheng Yanye.
The viscount in black stood beside the pure white prince, holding a sword to guard the only prince. No matter how you looked at them from near or far, they were a perfect match.
What a great character, what a great opportunity to get closer to Jiang Shiyu. Zheng Yan was about to tease the little prince, but before he could put it into action, he was interrupted by the prince's tutor.
Luo Wenxi pushed up one of his gold-rimmed glasses and separated the two of them righteously: "Your Highness and the Viscount, please observe etiquette."
The last two words are emphasized.
Zheng Yan also hated Luo Wenxi in his heart for eight hundred times. Haha, this guy really thinks he is a teacher just because he wears glasses. He is acting like a teacher to you.
He had no idea that he had just been immersed in the fun of role-playing.
Luo Wenxi raised his eyebrows, and the cunning was obvious in his eyes without glasses: What if I don’t let you two be together?
Zheng Yanye: ...
Next time he will vote for the person behind him as well. As his number one rival in love, Luo Wenxi is not allowed to appear around him and Jiang Shiyu anymore!
After everyone chose their costumes, their identities became clear. This is a Western fantasy palace copy. There are ten characters in total: prince, viscount, technology fanatic, bandit, detective, business tycoon, royal guard commander, civilian leader, cabinet minister, and prince's tutor.
The premise is that a heirloom in the palace has gone missing. This treasure possesses unparalleled magical powers, rumor has it, and can grant any wish, and whoever possesses it will become the heir to the throne. Although the thief succeeded, due to time constraints, he was unable to properly clean up the mess, leaving behind some clues.
Players need to find these clues within a limited time and vote to select the thief after a round table discussion.
The voice of the narrator instantly puts people into the situation: everyone has a motive to steal the treasure, and the player needs to peek into the motives of each character, find out their secrets, and then find the real thief.
At the same time, try your best to prevent others from finding out your secrets.
What is hidden in this magnificent palace?
Is the legend of the treasure true or false?
Are you ready?
The game officially begins.
