Chapter 145 Jishi Medical University Tears Up Its Face
A strange, unreadable glint flashed in the eyes of the Frankenstein professor.
Could it be that... the production team of "Heartbeat 1000%" has finally noticed their little program copy, thus improving the quality of the program guests matched by "Jishi Medical University"?
Several thoughts flashed through his mind, but on the surface, the Frankenstein professor maintained his ever-present warm smile.
“Of course, no problem!” He took another step closer to Yu Naixin, bringing them to a social distance suitable for face-to-face conversation. “Miss Yu, please ask!”
The Frankenstein professor was quite eager: "I will definitely answer everything I know!"
Just then, the banyan tree spirit youth, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"...Don't believe a word he says." The banyan tree spirit youth's gaze fell on the Frankenstein professor, his previously expressionless face now revealing obvious hatred and hostility. "Don't believe a single word he says."
The young banyan tree spirit's voice perfectly matched his appearance—cool, aloof, and quite magnetic and pleasant to listen to.
Upon hearing this, the Frankenstein professor let out a contemptuous sneer: "So your eyes are finally completely blocked by the banyan tree tendrils, are you really blind?"
"Didn't you see Miss Yu was talking to me? Who gave you the right to interrupt?"
The young man, a banyan tree spirit, showed no sign of backing down: "You've already fooled many female guests with your sweet talk."
Seeing that the two guest stars were about to start arguing, Yu Naixin was too lazy to listen to their bickering and interrupted them directly: "Actually, this matter is quite easy to resolve."
The Frankenstein professor and the banyan tree spirit youth both immediately looked towards Yu Naixin.
Yu Naixin smiled and said, "Both of the male guests can answer my question. I will compare their answers and choose the most sincere one as my ideal male guest."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire halftime waiting area fell silent.
Both the Frankenstein's monster professor and the banyan tree spirit youth had a momentary change in expression.
This female guest...
Yu Naixin seemed oblivious to everything, still smiling sweetly: "Don't be nervous, the problem is very simple."
"I just want to ask, are you two the only ones competing for my favorite male guest? Is there another person who hasn't been officially selected yet, or who doesn't have the authority to come here?"
Yu Naixin's question seemed to freeze the air in the entire halftime waiting area.
After a long few seconds, the Frankenstein's monster professor was the first to react, laughing as he continued Yu Naixin's words: "Miss Yu, do you know that our episode is about to mutate and proliferate?"
“Hmm.” Yu Naixin nodded without hesitation. “I watched the live broadcast of ‘Jishi Medical University’. If the time flow calculation rules for the episode and the guest lounge are the same, then it should be your previous episode.”
Her tone was casual, as if she were chatting with the two guest stars: "Do you remember that female guest who had short, dyed blonde hair?"
However, the two guest speakers who were asked the question felt an indescribable sense of pressure.
Any guest with a little experience knows what "Heartbeat 1000%" is really like, despite its appearance as a dating reality show.
The show's guests and the alternate guests are each other's prey, and overall, the alternate guests have a much higher win rate than the show's guests. Even though the show's rules clearly favor the show's guests in many aspects, it cannot change the show's guests' high mortality rate.
Faced with powerful and bizarre guest appearances, the show's guests are often no different from meat on a chopping board.
Even though their relationship was bloody and cruel, in each episode, both sides would tacitly pretend not to know, maintaining a false harmony and ambiguity at least in the early and middle stages of the episodes.
This is not only because the show's guests need to win over the guest contestants and engage in sweet interactions to earn tips from the live stream audience, but also because the guest contestants need to cooperate with the show's guests to act, thereby lowering the show's guests' guard and finding opportunities to take advantage of their vulnerability.
Just as Yu Naixin realized and deduced in her first episode of the show, as guests on the dating reality show "Heartbeat 1000%", they themselves had a high degree of "performance".
When the show's guests and the other guests truly clash, it's either when one side gains a clear advantage and relentlessly pursues the other to achieve victory, or when they're close to the finish line and neither side has any need to hide or pretend anymore.
Someone like Yu Naixin, who told the two guest stars in the waiting area before the show even officially started that she had watched their previous episodes, is practically a direct confrontation.
After all, the Frankenstein's monster professor and the banyan tree spirit youth didn't know that Yu Naixin had only watched two minutes of the live stream and had never even met them. Yu Naixin's own statements were deliberately intended to lead the two guest stars to believe that she knew everything.
Having watched the previous live broadcast of "Jishi Medical University," she knew all the attitudes and methods these two guest stars used towards previous guests.
They might even know things that the Frankenstein's monster professor and the banyan tree spirit youth don't want other guests on the show to know.
Seeing that the expressions of the two guest performers on her left and right had turned ugly, Yu Naixin was satisfied.
This time, she wasn't going to follow the proper procedure to choose her ideal male guest in this simulation.
Since "that person" has given her such an overpowered title as "Yao Ling," she naturally wants to try something more exciting.
On the surface, Yu Naixin put on a rather regretful expression, shook her head and sighed, "It seems that neither of the two guests is willing to answer my question. Time is money, and I am not destined to meet you two."
After saying that, Yu Naixin ignored the reactions of the Frankenstein's monster professor and the banyan tree spirit youth and walked cleanly between the two guest stars.
The Frankenstein's monster professor and the banyan tree spirit youth were both stunned when they saw Yu Naixin walk alone into the thick gray fog at the edge of the halftime waiting area.
As is well known, the waiting area for the program's guests is connected to the entrance of the show's segment by a specially constructed passageway by the "Heartbeat 1000%" production team.
This path is known only to the guest stars. Newcomers to the show must closely follow a guest star in order to find the way to the show's location.
One wrong step and you'll be swept into an unknown vortex of spacetime by the gray fog, and shattered to pieces.
This is one of the reasons why the show's guests generally don't offend the other guests in the early and middle stages of the show. To put it bluntly, the show's other guests are essentially the other guests' territory, and the show's guests need to rely on the territorial host in many ways during the early and middle stages of the show.
In previous episodes, Yu Naixin ignored the other guests and ran into the gray fog on her own. This was only after she had memorized the correct path in the simulator.
This time, Yu Naixin knew nothing about what lay ahead, yet she still chose to walk forward alone.
If the live stream were open right now, the chat would probably be filled with a long string of exclamation marks and question marks.
Yu Naixin certainly wasn't just idly trying to get herself killed.
Her original plan was to run the simulator twice, choosing a different male guest from each scenario as her ideal man, and then explore the scenarios with them before making any decisions.
Even if the actual episode doesn't have two guest stars, Yu Naixin's approach is the same.
However, after arriving at the halftime waiting area, Yu Naixin changed her mind.
Because she discovered that she seemed to be able to see the scenery in the surrounding gray fog.
Perhaps because she had personally witnessed the true face of "that person," Yu Naixin's vision and other senses were no longer completely obscured by the gray mist the first time she saw it after that.
Although it wasn't particularly clear, Yu Naixin had no difficulty finding a path through the gray fog.
There are only two paths. Based on Yu Naixin's experience, one path leads to the starting point that the Frankenstein professor will take her to, and the other path leads to the starting point that the Banyan Tree Spirit youth will take her to.
Apart from these two established roads, the rest of the area beyond the gray fog was so chaotic that it was impossible to describe or infer it in words. It was as if countless timelines had been spliced together in a disordered way, and there was nothing that could be called a "road".
Compared to the countless layers of time and space surrounding "that person," it was nothing compared to the vastness of spacetime, and it didn't even have much of a shock effect on Yu Naixin.
Faced with two paths to choose from, and without any other reference points, it was purely a matter of 50% probability. Yu Naixin randomly chose the one that looked slightly better.
Even if you're a guest in the instance, you can't see anything inside the gray fog.
They only walked through this passage once in the show's copy venue. The "Heartbeat 1000%" production team also made special marks on the passage they walked through to avoid misidentification.
Seeing that Yu Naixin was about to touch the gray fog, the Stitched-together professor and the banyan tree spirit youth immediately snapped out of their shock and rushed forward to stop her.
No matter how strong this female guest is, or how decisively she has broken ties with them, if she dies now, they will get nothing!
"Miss Yu! Stop right now!" The Frankenstein professor, moving at speeds far exceeding human limits, arrived in front of Yu Naixin in the blink of an eye.
For the other contestants, the guests who haven't met the hunting criteria are like slippery eels; the special defense layer set up by the production team makes it impossible to carry out any actions with forced surprises.
The Stitched-together professor couldn't stop Yu Naixin's progress by grabbing her arm, so he could only block her path with his own body.
The unknown spacetime vortex behind the gray fog also affected the guest in the episode. The Frankenstein's monster professor dared not have too much contact with the gray fog, and squeezed himself into the small gap between Yu Naixin and the gray fog, with only half of his body tilted in front of Yu Naixin, in a rather awkward posture.
Even so, part of Professor Frankenstein's body was still engulfed in the gray fog.
