Wow, this new show came out fast! Considering how hard you've worked, Kobayashi, I'll reluctantly forgive the psychological trauma 'Bleach' caused me.
Is this a variety show? It seems to be going by pretty fast. With a name like that, is it going to be about playing Tetris?!
[I don't know, but I feel like they should be related. This show has over a thousand people?! So many people?!]
[The sheer number of participants is making me feel like I'm back in the game "Far From Home"! There are so many people! I wonder if it'll be another fierce battle?!]
Could it be a video game competition?! After all, it's called that.
Lin Xiaoxiao realized that she really couldn't stay idle. No one was looking for projects for her anymore, but she was even thinking of filming a variety show to clear out her backlog. She was truly a workaholic in the industry! If there was an afterlife, she hoped to be someone who could just laze around and wait to die. She really didn't want to do any work at all.
The more she worked, the more work she had, the bigger her business became, and the more people she had to work for. She was working herself to death like an ox!
But quitting was something Lin Xiaoxiao might have considered when the business was smaller, but now she didn't want to at all. She'd only think about it when she was complaining. She wished she had a father like Li Yishan who could worry endlessly and earn money for her, but then she thought better of it. She wasn't used to relying on others; perhaps she was just destined to work hard on her own.
As for her relationships with family, she's had a terrible time in both of her lives. She might as well wish that in her next life she could be a rich person, or win the lottery, or inherit a fortune and be super happy, hehe.
Li Yishan, who was working, suddenly sneezed. Was it cold?! It couldn't be Lin Xiaoxiao, could it?! He had gone to such lengths to barely manage to steer Lin Xiaoxiao to another industry. Feiyang Shopping had already established itself on the shopping platform, and all his hard work had been for nothing! It was all He Youfu's fault from Miaomiao Shopping Platform!!
He Youfu felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the financial report. A sudden thought struck him, and he shivered. Looking around, he sensed a murderous aura emanating from him. He had a feeling that someone wanted to harm him!
Lin Xiaoxiao noticed that Feiyang Entertainment was becoming more and more organized. The staff there were indeed more in sync with the staff at the main station.
"Everyone will draw lots, and the first 100 people will enter first."
The contestants didn't know what kind of variety show "Tetris" was, but they could guess from the name that it might be related to games. They didn't know anything about the specific content, and they started by drawing lots.
Everyone accepted it well, but unexpectedly, after the 100 people were selected by lottery, another lottery had to be held.
"Those who were among the first 100 drawn earlier, we will now draw the second round."
Han Dong was the first person to win a prize. Looking at the second lottery box, he couldn't help but ask the staff member next to him, "What will I draw this time?"
The staff did not answer, but instead asked Han Dong to draw lots.
With a puzzled look, Han Dong drew the second lot: "Number one in the main house of the Intermediate Court."
A thought flashed through his mind: Could it be about room allocation?! That can't be, right?! This note looks like... something he vaguely had a concept of... a courtyard house?! He knew it!
Han Dong looked down at the slip of paper in his hand. This was a courtyard house?! The program was "Tetris," but what did Tetris have to do with courtyard houses?!
Before he could think for long, after the first batch of one hundred people finished drawing lots, Han Dong realized something was wrong. Several other people had the same lot as him. With questions in mind, he and the others entered the three-courtyard house where the recording was being held.
Shen Jie felt that she was lucky enough to draw room number two in the east wing. Unlike the others who were completely clueless, she grew up in a compound and knew roughly what the east wing was like as soon as she saw it. She wondered what the production team was planning to do with a thousand people.
The answer became clear to them as soon as they arrived at their respective assigned houses and saw the other people.
"So we're four people sharing a room?!"
"It looks like this. This room is alright, it looks a bit bigger. The room in the outer courtyard looked smaller than this one."
After looking at the house, Han Dong ran to the house in the outer yard and, as expected, saw the contestants whose complexions were not very good.
"What do we do? There are four of us living in this house, what are we going to do? Should we squeeze in?"
The others remained silent, but their expressions were not good. Just then, the program crew's loudspeaker blared in the courtyard.
"After everyone has confirmed their rooms, a representative from each of the 25 rooms will draw lots."
Han Dong's expression was displeased, and he could hear the voices of the other contestants: "Why are we having to draw lots again?!"
Looking at the team and the others, Shen Jie had a rough idea of what the production team was planning, but she dared not even think about it. To integrate a thousand people into a place with twenty-five rooms and one kitchen, and a public toilet in the courtyard outside, she felt that it was impossible.
After all, even with all the expansions and renovations to her family's courtyard, I've never heard of any courtyard housing over a thousand people! That's simply wishful thinking!
"Three people?! What does that mean?!"
Han Dong felt a chill run down his spine; he felt a sense of dread about the fortune slip.
"Among the contestants here, you can choose three people. The challenge is to stay here for a month. Every day thereafter, we will draw lots until there is no room left. Then, the contestants who make up the whole room will be eliminated."
Just as he expected, this was truly terrible news. Han Dong clutched the lot in his hand, his mood somewhat affected, but he still moved aside to let the people behind him draw lots.
The other three people in the same room didn't look too good either. It wasn't until one of them drew a lot for six people that the other contestants who drew lots for three or five people finally smiled, their smiles tinged with relief.
Shen Jie's luck was so-so; she drew three people, but she wasn't worried at all. After all, it was only seven people sharing one room, and compared to the small houses in the outer courtyard, the houses in the middle courtyard were already considered large.
Seven people? No problem! She smiled slightly, then her eyes lit up when she saw the petite female contestant.
Shen Jie lowered her voice and whispered to her companion in the same room, "Choose a shorter girl."
Her companion and she exchanged a glance, and sure enough, they instantly reached a consensus. After whispering among themselves, the other two also showed expressions of agreement. They were now on the same boat, and if they were eliminated, it would be an elimination for everyone, so they could only work together to find a way to advance.
Shen Jie noticed that some of the male contestants ahead of her seemed to have some concerns. They were all choosing male contestants because they would be living together for a month, and it was always difficult to accept mixed-gender living arrangements.
However, Shen Jie didn't think that much about it. At worst, she could just put up a curtain in the middle. Besides, their room wasn't all girls. If all else failed, she could only see if they wanted to change rooms. But she felt that the production team wouldn't agree, because if she could change rooms, she would have to think about it carefully.
Given the current situation, a larger house means a greater chance of victory, and who would want to move to a smaller room!
