After receiving the task, Sister Zhao understood it, but something still felt off.
When CCTV saw that Feiyang Entertainment was going to produce a variety show to prevent fraud and oppose feudalism, they supported it, but they didn't know why the name was "War of the Gods".
Sister Zhao and the production team began releasing information with trepidation.
[War of the Gods? Anti-feudalism and anti-fraud? Something feels off.]
[What's so strange?! Praise Mr. Lin! Hoping to snag a ticket to become a "ten-thousand-yuan household" (a term for someone who becomes wealthy and influential), thank you!]
The notice says anyone who believes they have the ability can apply. What kind of ability is that? Like, being able to poop incredibly well?
Okay, the requirements for this show are so low, they don't even have an age limit. It's a bit of a shame there's no job involved.
"If you dare, come on over. I have a feeling this slogan isn't what I'm thinking, is it?!"
[I understand you, upstairs. I just finished watching the fourth season of "Chinese Horror" and was terrified. Is this show going to be about Taoist priests and monks?]
[Great, great, let's watch the drama unfold. Following your logic, if they actually filmed something like this, it would truly be a war of the gods.]
I love watching it, but I'm a little afraid to watch it! What should I do?
The show is recruiting hosts! I'm in!
I feel like I can do it too!
[Those with no religious beliefs and the strongest will be given priority. This isn't saying, "Whoever's toughest gets to do it."]
【I can do it! I'm broke, but nobody's tougher than me!】
[Forget it, I'll just watch. What if something actually happens?]
[Same as above, I feel it's better to believe it exists than not.]
【No, none of you signed up, so why did I find out that tens of thousands of people had registered after I submitted my application? Are you all just playing me for a fool?! I almost believed your lies.】
[Exactly! Compared to ghosts and monsters, you people are the ones who are truly disheartening. I'm different; I'll just say I applied too.]
[Hehe, you guys should sign up. I've already recommended it to the streamers I follow, and I'm encouraging them to participate. If they don't go to "Clash of the Gods," I feel like I'll disappear from the scene altogether.]
[I'll also sign up for the streamers I've come across. Just thinking about so many amazing streamers gathering together makes me really excited!]
I also recommended it to my family's adventure blogger.
[Could it be that adventure blogger with the incredible luck who's said to be unlucky? I can't even imagine what this scene would be like. So many people, it really is a battle of the gods!]
But isn't there supposed to be cause and effect? Can you just calculate it arbitrarily?
[How can I put it? Ordinary people don't understand this, but you often encounter monks on the street who come up to you and say, "Benefactor, I see your forehead is dark," which is really unsettling. Whether it's actually effective or not is another matter, but if sports can be competed in, why can't this be?]
[Agreed. These kinds of competitions are where you really see skill levels. You can't just give vague answers that leave people guessing.]
Sister Zhao and her staff looked at all the people who had signed up. Were there really so many people working in this field in China? Their scalps tingled. How were they going to verify them?
They're all just ordinary people. I wonder who among them has real skills and who's a fraud? No, their program is supposed to be about opposing feudalism and fraud, and promoting science. Shouldn't they be exposing the fraudsters' methods and choosing the fraudsters instead?
But they can't tell who's a fraud and who's genuine!
In the end, Sister Zhao still sought advice from Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao was also confused. The number of people was indeed far too many. If she were to review them, it would take forever. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.
"Just throw them in. Whoever's resume lands on the table gets on the show, and whoever's falls on the floor gets filtered out."
Sister Zhao was stunned, and hesitated for a moment, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Isn't it too casual?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled. "What's so casual about it? Since we're making this kind of variety show, if the contestants can't even get selected, then coming here is a waste of time."
"But isn't this program supposed to be about opposing feudalism and swindlers? What if those who remain are all capable people?"
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed, "You have to believe in science. Even if someone really had the ability, their business would be booming, why would they sign up for this variety show to become famous?"
Sister Zhao realized she was in a dead end. Yes, she had to trust science. Most of the people who signed up were probably just after the hype and fame.
The contestants for "Clash of the Gods" were quickly selected.
However, the host was still undecided. Lin Xiaoxiao watched as one person after another introduced their experiences or recounted what they had encountered, thus proving that she was unlucky.
She felt a little sleepy. No, one of the people who signed up to be a host actually said that when he was a child, he could reach out and touch an electrical wire without getting a headache.
Lin Xiaoxiao decisively passed, saying that this would set a bad example for the children watching the screen, that electricity use was unsafe, and that it would bring tears to their eyes. She eliminated the child.
Some people said they were super lucky and brave, not afraid of these monsters and demons, and recounted how they had two sets of seasoning packets for instant noodles and always got an extra bottle of beverage.
Pass! Good grief, so you had two sets of seasoning packets, huh? I couldn't find the seasoning packet when I opened my instant noodles, and it turned out it was in your bag. Eliminated! God knows how desperate I was when I finished overtime, got back to my place, took out my small electric cooker, boiled the water, opened the instant noodle bag, and found there was no seasoning packet!
Eliminate her! She must be eliminated! Keeping her for another round would be disrespectful to her past misery!
Lin Xiaoxiao angrily put this person's resume into the elimination list.
As for those who have always been lucky since childhood and whose lives are easy, Lin Xiaoxiao dismisses them all. She feels that she is not jealous, nor is she heartbroken over her own bumpy life. Absolutely not!
Lin Xiaoxiao was surprised to find that there were even young women who had just graduated. She even suspected that the job posting for the host was not clear enough, since the other people who came had already been working in society for some time.
As soon as the other person said those words, she knew why they had signed up.
"My mom calculated my destiny; I'm destined to be a widow. Director Lin, that's tough enough, isn't it?"
Lin Xiaoxiao met the girl's sparkling eyes and was filled with emotion. The others who heard this were a little nervous, worried that they would not be able to compare with this girl.
"Director Lin, I'm also lucky! My seventh aunt's daughter's nephew says I'm especially lucky."
"Director Lin, I'm very stubborn!"
"Director Lin, I'm incredibly brave. If I get selected, I'll be willing to fight ghosts without batting an eye."
What is all this?! There's even some weirdo mixed in here. Lin Xiaoxiao feels like this is turning into a selection process to show determination.
After eliminating the eliminated candidates, Lin Xiaoxiao saw that there were still quite a few potential hosts, so she simply found a large bucket and drew lots.
Forty or fifty people drew the only one lot.
This decision, which is entirely left to fate, is absolutely not because she's lazy, absolutely not.
