Chapter 714: The Stepmother (18)
For the sake of the show's effect, Wen Wan knew the director would agree, so she started to find energy points while exploiting loopholes in the surveillance. When she got tired, she would gather the others and spend an energy point to enter the safe zone to conserve her energy. By collecting energy points, the five of them had accumulated a total of twenty-three energy points, enough to kill four men in black.
Liu Zihua was overjoyed. "Let's take care of two men in black first, just to be on the safe side."
No one else had any objections.
So the three of them went to find the two men in black, and happened to encounter them as a group, which they quickly killed.
They were planning to continue developing their character, but unexpectedly they encountered a lone individual. Moreover, the child had invested two energy points, so everyone decided to kill him. This time, they killed a total of three men in black.
All five people are still alive, and no one was injured or killed.
"We still need at least five more. Let's take care of lunch and dinner first."
There are seven energy points left. Chen Kai and Liu Zihua each have two, and Wen Wan and the other two each have one.
They continued searching for energy points, and the production team wouldn't let them fail to complete the task. Yesterday's situation was met with serious protests from the guests; a blind box with only ten energy points was far too few.
The production team added twenty more this time, so a total of thirty energy points are scattered throughout the villa.
Actually, it's not much. Even with their original fifteen energy points, they only have forty-five, which is enough to kill only nine men in black.
This is all without them suffering any losses, and then the children need at least fifteen energy points to kill all the men in black and complete the final mission.
This is undeniably extremely difficult.
Although the children were a bit more reliable than yesterday, they were still earning points very slowly, so the production team obviously wouldn't let them get energy points easily.
So whether they can ultimately win depends on the children.
"Is this show just a scam? There's no way we can complete the task."
Wen Wan: "If I can't finish it, I can't finish it. As long as I can eat my fill, that's fine. As for the next episode, we'll talk about it next time."
Lin Ge: "You're right."
Soon it was lunchtime, and the production team called a halt to the competition.
They killed another man in black.
However, Chen Kai died, and he was very unhappy because he was the first to be eliminated.
However, compared to yesterday, they have made great progress. They killed four men in black and received a lunch reward.
The children were very happy.
Afterwards came a wonderful lunch. Wen Wan was actually very tired, but unlike the others, who were too tired to eat, she wanted to eat more the more tired she was. After all, food was a double nourishment for her, both mentally and physically.
After lunch, they continued their mission. This time, Chen Xi replaced Chen Kai, while Wen Wan continued to search for energy points in the rear.
The director questioned again, "Is there really no script?"
"Really, no, we were never given a script. Director, you said you wanted the most authentic children's variety show, so our production team was stupid and didn't have a script."
Director: "Is this really just pure luck? What if the audience doesn't believe it when we edit it together? What should we do?"
"How about we eliminate the others first, and then gang up on Chen Qian?"
"Don't you think she'll be able to salvage the situation all by herself, like yesterday?"
The director thought for a moment, "We must eliminate Chen Qian first. Once she's eliminated, no one else will have enough influence points. It also tells the audience that she's not a favorite, but a victim of our program's targeting. She's someone our sponsor has worked for. If she gets smeared on our show and then we withdraw our funding, it won't be fun. Go find a few staff members' accounts to post online and give the audience a heads-up. Our first episode was extremely popular, and we can't afford any problems with the second episode."
"Okay, Director, I'll go right away."
The director looked at Chen Qian in the camera and said, "I don't believe you can be that lucky."
Wen Wan realized that the director was too insidious. Why? He directly ordered the men in black to guard the energy points. If they didn't go, they wouldn't be able to get the energy points; if they went, they would be attacked.
There are eight men in black remaining.
However, this also has a drawback: there are too few people, making it impossible to guard all the energy points.
So Wen Wan started bypassing those energy points and specifically went to the energy points where no one was.
However, to avoid arousing suspicion, Wen Wan still tried to approach him a few times, but received an early warning and ran away quickly.
The director thought to himself: "Is it the script?"
On the one hand, I thought: Where did we get the script? He's the director, how could he not know?
They quickly launched a second offensive, killing two more men in black.
This time, however, Lin Ge was eliminated.
They had three people left, while the enemy had six.
That's alright. There are at least six people. We just need to kill two more, and we might even have a chance to complete the final mission.
There are still seven energy points in the villa, and they have a total of four energy points left. Moreover, three of those seven energy points have been controlled by the men in black.
Quickly grab the remaining four energy points, then swiftly kill one of the men in black and obtain the energy point he was guarding.
Three energy points remain.
"We're still short at least three energy points, and we can only rely on the kids. Hopefully, they can be reliable," Liu Zihua said. Otherwise, in the end, they'll have to fight for the remaining two energy points on the field, which would be too dangerous.
And the children were very reliable, just as they had hoped, and quickly earned two energy points.
And it was getting close to dinner time.
The three of them were exhausted, especially Wen Wan. Chen Xi and Liu Zihua were two grown men, and even fitness enthusiasts. Wen Wan, on the other hand, didn't like fitness in the original body, and after entering this body, she never thought about improving her physical strength.
Although most of the physical labor was done by Liu Zihua and Chen Xi, she was also forced to run a lot of distances and was exhausted.
Five energy points.
"Maybe we can try finding a lone man in black, then distract him, and I'll attack him from the shadows. It would be even better if we could get him away from where the mission point box is."
Liu Zihua thought for a moment and said, "Okay, we'll do as you say. Chen Xi and I will distract the men in black and draw their attention. Chen Qian, you attack the men in black."
"OK."
The three then began their plan.
The director was also watching closely, not wanting the plan to succeed, so all the men in black were gathered together.
Soon Lin Zihua and Chen Xi set out, attracting several men in black, and began to flee for their lives.
"Where's Chen Qian?" The director didn't notice Chen Qian hiding in the shadows.
There was no surveillance footage.
However, the next second, Chen Qian appeared. She actually appeared at another energy point box, took the box directly, and even waved at the drone, saying, "Director, this is called 'the devil is one foot tall, but the Tao is ten feet tall.' You finally made a mistake this time."
