After the meal, all the guests learned that in this time and space, production data is king.
So everyone started working honestly and stopped hoping to get away with it.
At nine o'clock in the evening, everyone returned to the base exhausted and sat down around the coffee table in the living room.
The winner of today's match will be announced soon.
Xie Anxia had already taken a shower and changed into her pajamas.
She sat in the corner of the sofa, her eyes swollen from crying: "That garbage dump was so dirty and smelly! They only gave me one pair of gloves, which tore in ten minutes, and they wouldn't even give me a new pair... Waaaaah, my manicure is broken!"
She sniffed, as if she could still smell the stench of the garbage dump, and said with a look of disgust, "Anyway, I'm at the bottom, so it's over for me. I'm going to take another shower, it stinks!"
After saying that, she got up and left without waiting for the director to speak.
Lin Yi had known her for a few days and understood her personality, so he let her be.
He said to the others, "Everyone, take out your counters and see how much you've produced today."
Everyone placed the counter on the table.
The data, sorted from lowest to highest, are: Li Nanyan, Li Ze, Zhou Sui, Xu Qiuyuan, Zhai Qinglian, Jian Zhizhen, and Qin Yubai.
Lin Yi was running around all day and barely sat down, yet the counter still recorded a fairly high production value for him, ranking him ahead of Li Ze, but he didn't need to participate in the evaluation.
Qin Yubai and Jian Zhizhen's data was dozens of times better than others because the instrument they researched for automatically detecting the moisture content of vegetables actually passed the counter's approval and earned them 1,000 coins, which they split equally.
Qin Yubai ultimately scored 0.02 coins higher than Jian Zhizhen because Jian Zhizhen's automated quality inspection equipment had a one-thousandth error due to screw wear, resulting in a measurement error of a small cake and a deduction of 0.02 coins. Qin Yubai's CNC equipment, on the other hand, has not yet exhibited any errors.
Others had more errors and had more coins deducted.
Li Nanyan, in particular, almost had all his earnings docked, losing a day's work for nothing.
Therefore, the person who ultimately had the right to allocate housing was Qin Yubai.
The director handed him a tablet with the names of eight guests on it. He needed to pull any two names together so that they could be in the same room.
[So nervous, so excited! I reckon Qin Shen will probably pair me up with Jian Zhizhen, and the two of us will chat about academics and inventions all night long.]
[That would be so boring. Sigh, if it were me, I'd definitely do something funny. I'd group all the guests who've had conflicts in the last few days together and make them fight.]
Waiting for the results!!!
...
The guests waited quietly for the room assignment results.
Actually, everyone has only been on the show for a few days, so we don't know each other very well and can't really say whether we like or dislike each other.
At first, some people had very outrageous personas, like Jian Zhizhen, but after the live stream ended, it turned out she was quite normal.
So anyone would be happy to receive it.
Only Li Nanyan seemed a little uneasy.
He was afraid that Qin Yubai would be jealous of his popularity with the female guests, so he deliberately assigned Xu Qiuyuan, that mistress, or Xie Anxia, that drama queen, or Jian Zhizhen, that simp, to him.
How will he sleep tonight?
Finally, Qin Yubai assigned rooms and handed the tablet to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi looked down and saw that the intelligent satellite was also synchronizing the results with the audience in real time.
Lin Yi was dumbfounded.
The audience was stunned.
Because his housing allocation results were: Qin Yubai and Zhou Sui; Li Nanyan and Li Ze; Jian Zhizhen and Xu Qiuyuan; Zhai Qinghe and Xie Anxia.
Men to men, women to women.
The villa has only five rooms in total. The director has a single room, and the guests are paired up in the other four rooms.
These days, everyone has been living together as men and women, and Qin Yubai hasn't changed at all.
The audience couldn't sit still any longer:
[Qin Shen, we came here to watch a dating reality show, what are we supposed to watch like this? TAT]
[What kind of behavior is this, that of an old cadre!]
[All the guests' jobs today were for nothing; wasn't this how we were supposed to live from the beginning?]
[But he didn't assign himself to a room with Jian Zhizhen. I previously suspected that Qin Shen had a crush on Jian Zhizhen, but now it seems that's not the case?]
Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated, and helplessly said to Qin Yubai, "This is a dating reality show! You've grouped the men together and the women together, how can we even talk about dating?"
Before Qin Yubai could say anything, Zhou Sui, who was standing next to him, laughed.
Zhou Sui said, "Director, be careful you don't get cyberbullied if you say that. Society is more open-minded now. Love only has one orientation: the heart's desire. Men and men, women and women, why can't they fall in love?"
Anyway, he was very satisfied with the result.
Even though he was away on business, he was still writing books.
He and Qin Yubai had been living together for a few days and had gotten used to their quiet roommate, so they didn't disturb him while he was writing at night!
Lin Yi thought about it carefully and nodded silently: "That makes some sense."
The variety show "Love Across Worlds" has aired so many episodes, but we've never included this concept before. Perhaps editing it out as a gimmick in the future would have a different effect.
But the gimmick can only be used to create a buzz initially; this approach won't work later on.
Lin Yi then added, "However, most of our show's audience watches it for romance, so let's divide it like this for now. We can't exploit this loophole in the later recordings."
Qin Yubai nodded in agreement.
No one else had any objections.
Zhai Qinghe glanced at Qin Yubai's indifferent profile and inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
In fact, she was already certain that Qin Yubai would pair her up with Jian Zhizhen.
