Early the next morning, all the guests woke up refreshed. As soon as they opened the door, breakfast was already placed at their doorstep.
They looked at each other and curled their lips at the same time. The production team really had a change of heart this time and didn't even make them find food by themselves. They were finally acting like human beings.
"Wow, is today's production crew going to be a human?"
Everyone said this in unison, their faces showing immense joy.
But they didn't expect that a bigger pit was waiting for them. After breakfast, the program crew blew the assembly horn. When they heard about today's task, they couldn't hold back their expressions.
"Everyone, today's task is the cultural competition. Next, let's welcome today's guests: Zhou Yang, the champion of the quiz competition; Qi Wenli, a professor of traditional Chinese studies; Yu Huasheng, a producer of traditional historical dramas; and Ning Jiao, a popular second-tier actress."
"The rules of the game are best of three, with the format consisting of an intra-group competition and a team competition."
After the director announced the rules, he felt relieved. It was just a simple quiz, there shouldn't be any pitfalls.
But the guests didn't think so. Wasn't the rule to kill your own people first and then kill them all? Who came up with this bullshit competition system?
What kind of cultural competition is this? It would be so embarrassing to lose, and if you win, there will be all kinds of speculations. No matter what you do, you can't escape the fate of being choreographed. This production team is really good at accurately exposing thunder.
If I lose, it will be incredibly embarrassing. From now on, the label of being uneducated will be stuck on my head forever.
[If I win against my seniors, I'll seem a bit unkind. What on earth did the production team think of the competition system? Did they use their brains?]
Some of the audience in the live broadcast room were cursing the program team for the stupid competition system, but a small part of them unexpectedly discovered the highlight.
[I remember Zhou Yang and Gu Chi once participated in a quiz competition together. Gu Chi didn't win a single round, which is how he got the nickname "Nine-Leaked Fish."]
[I remember that too. I thought Gu Chi would shine on the show, but he was gone after just one round...]
Gu Chi glanced at the guests and curled his lips. The four guests all had some conflicts with him to some extent. They were all old acquaintances. It was difficult for the program crew to gather them one by one.
But what he didn't expect was that his mentor would condescend to participate in the recording of the variety show he despised the most, which was a way to show up in public and make money.
At this moment, Qin Xun's eyes were full of worry. None of the four people were easy to deal with. Judging from the information provided by the system, each of them had more or less a grudge against Gu Chi.
Zhou Yang alone had heard no less than three versions of the story, not to mention Mr. Yu Huasheng, who had always avoided talking about Gu Chi and once specifically mentioned Gu Chi's participation in a knowledge competition as a negative example to warn students at a press conference.
As for the conflict between Ning Jiao, Professor Qi Wenli and Gu Chi, Qin Xun was not very clear, but he knew that they were not easy to deal with and would not let Gu Chi have an easy time.
It seems that the system has really invested a lot of money this time. Those who are invited to deal with Gu Chi are all masters with intelligence, fame and skills. This time Gu Chi is probably in great danger.
When it came to the grouping stage, just as the system said, Gu Chi would be assigned to the same group as Qi Wenli. This was a real hot potato. If Gu Chi lost, his reputation as a loser would be confirmed. Even if Gu Chi really had the ability to win, it would be a manifestation of disrespect for elders and arrogance. In any case, he would be criticized.
If Qi Wenli added fuel to the fire and said a few more rhetorical words, the goodwill that Gu Chi had worked so hard to build up would be gone in an instant.
Master Qi Wenli is a rare professor of literature who has mastered all the skills. With Gu Chi's strength, he has almost no chance of competing with Qi Wenli, and his teammates are relatively weaker.
His teammate and opponent is a popular young actress and the champion of the knowledge competition. One is his external spear, and the other is the control group in his team's competition. Ning Jiao is an art student and does not care much about culture, so it is effortless for her to win.
No wonder the system said it arranged a wonderful control group. It is indeed a wonderful control group. You don’t even need any skills to win, just mindless output.
Gu Chi's live broadcast room was extremely lively, with people all coming to watch the lively discussion between Gu Chi and the master of Chinese studies. Who wouldn't want to see if Gu Chi was really a genius? After all, they had heard a little about his previous deeds.
Comparing knowledge with a master of Chinese studies is like comparing an ant to an elephant to see who is heavier.
[Gu Chi: Can you please save me...]
[Gu Chi should find a crack in the ground and bury himself as soon as possible. He is really too social.]
[The boy is still too young and doesn't understand the dangers of society.]
In the live broadcast room, even Gu Chi's original fans did not believe that Gu Chi could win. After all, his opponent was too strong. Professor Qi Wenli was known as a walking encyclopedia, and he was proficient in poetry and songs. How could a small person like Gu Chi compare with him?
There were even people in the live broadcast room calling out to Gu Chi, telling him to just stop competing and surrender, at least he wouldn't be so embarrassed.
"Disciple, long time no see. How have you been recently?" Qi Wenli touched his white mustache and said with a smile on his face.
Gu Chi was stunned. It had been many years since he heard his master call him "disciple". He vaguely remembered his master's angry expression when he told him that he did not plan to do academic research in the future. He thought that their master-disciple relationship had come to an end.
I didn't expect that after so many years, I would hear my master's words "disciple" again after a long time.
"Thanks to Master's care, I am doing well." Gu Chi said with a faint smile.
Qi Wenli looked at Gu Chi with serious eyes, then lowered his eyes and said a word.
Gu Chi was stubborn and stubborn. If he hadn't come here specially during this period of time to learn about Gu Chi's experiences in recent years and realized how difficult it was for this young disciple, he might have been deceived by his nonchalant words.
"I'm glad you're fine. I won't show mercy later." His voice suddenly turned cold, not as enthusiastic as before.
"Master, please teach me." Gu Chi said respectfully, feeling nervous.
[I remember that Professor Qi Wenli once accepted a senior disciple, and that was his only disciple.]
[Could Gu Chi be the closed-door disciple that Professor Qi Wenli once praised so highly?]
If Gu Chi was truly a closed-door disciple, why was Professor Qi so cold? He must have been unable to bear the loneliness of doing research and went solo, angering Professor Qi.
[After hearing what the above person said, I really feel that it is a bit like that. I didn't expect Gu Chi to be such an ungrateful person? ]
Just a few words between the master and the disciple made the audience in the live broadcast room very excited. They all began to speculate what the relationship between Gu Chi and Professor Qi Wenli was. Judging from Professor Qi Wenli's appearance, their relationship should not be very good.
Is the Shura Field about to begin? Gu Chi will be beaten to a pulp without even the slightest chance to fight back. Hurry up, they love to see it!
The unpredictable atmosphere here continued, and Ning Jiao came over again, "Gu Chi, long time no see, I didn't expect to see you here again."
Gu Chi didn't react much, just nodded faintly, but Ning Jiao didn't stop there, still raised her smiling face, "Senior Gu Chi, please take good care of me."
"This is my first time participating, so I can't take care of it." Gu Chi said lightly.
"Senior, you are such a joker. It's still the same as before. Are you still angry with me?" Ning Jiao was still pestering.
"No." Gu Chi said indifferently.
"Sister, brother is not angry. We have to win based on our strength."
Xiaoyu stood beside Gu Chi, looking at Ning Jiao with big eyes. This sister was a little strange.
"Well, Xiaoyu is right. It was my sister who didn't think it through. Senior Gu taught Xiaoyu very well." Ning Jiao's eyes darkened, and then she smiled again.
Gu Chi had something on her, so she couldn't anger him. If she made a big deal out of this, it would not benefit anyone.
Does anyone still remember when Gu Chi hit Jiaojiao? Jiaojiao was so humble, and this is Gu Chi's attitude?
[Don’t say anything without evidence, or you’ll get slapped in the face]
Several fans in the live broadcast room were arguing fiercely, and the incident of Gu Chi acting like a big shot on the set was once again brought up by netizens.
Many of the doubts this time were also uncovered one by one by the sharp-eyed fans.
