Chapter 286 Bandaging the Glacier
Qiao Yuxi had been fuming the past couple of days about Su Zhining's outfit spoofing Xu Ying, but this morning she felt a bit proud and reposted a photo of Xu Ying's back on the ice, adding a subtle comment: "Spoofing? Can you afford it? Don't you even consider your own weight?"
The netizens who were watching the show were furious.
[Hahaha, my savior was being scammed by a troublemaker. You can tell Miss Qiao is really angry!]
As a loyal fan of Xiao Xu, I'm really angry. I was being criticized for no apparent reason. Fortunately, Alex's quote was refreshing!
[Su Zhining used all her tricks to bribe people and do some tricks on the show, but in the end, Xiao Xu, the webmaster, didn't even have to do anything; Xiao Xu's number one fan took action directly!]
After putting so much effort into creating buzz, Xu Ying's fashion resources were ultimately outstripped by those outside her circle. Fans of Xu Ying are grateful to a certain young lady for her wedding dress.
Su Zhining's fans were furious, their veiled meaning being: [Qiao Group and ALEX have recently collaborated. Was Alex bribed by Qiao Group because he can't post?]
However, netizens immediately responded with criticism. [Is it okay? Qiao's Group has the power to put a knife to Alex's neck and make him donate all the proceeds to a shelter, right?]
[They expect to earn millions of dollars from a luxury ready-to-wear line.]
[From someone in the overseas fashion industry, I'd like to share that quite a few luxury brands are already showing interest in the "Man Ying" collection mentioned in Alex's blog post. They've quickly sent people to talk to Alex, and now it all depends on what Mr. Xu decides.]
Qiao Yuxi was delighted to see netizens bashing Xu Ying's fans. Alex knew that Xu Ying was indeed helped by Qiao Yanli. Originally, Qiao Yanli just wanted to ask Alex, with whom he had a good relationship, for a favor, to design a set of jewelry for Xu Ying and post a blog post about it.
But what the uncle and nephew of the Qiao family did not expect was that after watching various live broadcast clips of Xu Ying and Mao Rongrong, as well as famous scenes from variety shows, Alex became a huge fan of Xu Ying.
Upon learning that Xu Ying was deliberately wearing the same clothes as a small-time artist, Alex was furious. Such ostentatious and ostentatious methods of artists showing off their wealth are too annoying!
So there was the scene this morning where Alex angrily posted a blog post to flatter webmaster Xiao Xu.
Su Zhining, who deliberately imitated Xu Ying's outfit, has now become a laughing stock on the Internet and has been embarrassed overseas. She has maximized the topic she wanted.
At this time, Su Zhining on the show was as low-key as she could be. She had already guessed that she would be ridiculed by netizens during her live broadcast today.
In the live broadcast of the variety show, five celebrity guests lined up obediently and listened to Xu Ying announce the tasks.
"We are now in our glacier protection area one!"
Xu Ying held up the task card and said mysteriously, "Please look at the soil beneath your feet. Do you think it's any different?"
Little fangirl Ye Jie immediately raised her hand in support: "Master Xu, when I walked over here, the ground beneath my feet felt like a huge, shattered glass plate. It was hard yet fragile, and it made a crackling sound with every step."
Xu Ying explained with a smile: "That's the sound made by the permafrost losing its structural support after thawing."
Su Zhining complained with a sour face, "The alpine plants growing here aren't strong at all. When the cold wind blew them, mixed with bits of mud, they landed on my new pants! Cleaning them up is such a hassle!"
“The filming environment is too bad.”
Yao Yingzhe agreed: "Today I can understand Xiao Su."
Under the direct sunlight, the frozen ground beneath everyone's feet felt slightly sticky, like half-melted chocolate.
"This ground is neither solid frozen soil nor soft mud. It feels like it will collapse at any moment."
Yao Yingzhe bent over and covered his calves with a hot water bottle. "Occasionally, when I step on something, the sole of my foot suddenly sinks half an inch, and a cold, damp air seeps out from the cracks. It's almost making my cold legs come back!"
"That's right, this seemingly ordinary piece of soil beneath our feet is actually a frozen earth assassin!"
Xu Ying pulled out a data tablet. "Why are they called assassins? In the summer, one cubic meter of this exposed permafrost can release 4.3 kg of carbon dioxide, which is equivalent to the carbon emissions of a car traveling 20 kilometers!"
Everyone was shocked.
"This glacier reserve stretches as far as the eye can see. That's equivalent to the carbon emissions of countless cars!"
Ye Jie frowned. "Master Xu, are there any remedial measures? Are we just going to watch this permafrost melt?"
"Of course, this is the first challenging task for us environmental defenders!"
Xu Ying signaled the program team to invite today's animal guests: "Work with the pikas to put 'bandages' and 'gauze' on this frozen soil to block out the sunlight!"
The program staff pushed a cart to bring in the plateau pikas. Looking around, these pikas were squeezed into wooden frames like balls of wool, which was very cute.
There are five baskets of pikas, and each basket of pikas has a scarf of a different color tied around its neck to make it easier to distinguish between the camps.
And then, the second thing the program team brought surprised everyone.
I saw pieces of grass being carried to the center of the program venue by the staff.
Ye Jie blinked, as if she had guessed something: "Is this the bandage and gauze from the frozen soil?"
Su Zhining: "I thought it was some high-end medical device, but it turned out to be just a piece of green?"
"This is moss cultivated in the laboratory. It is cold-resistant and drought-resistant," Xu Ying introduced.
She showed the camera some pictures prepared by the program crew: "In high mountain areas such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, scientists have successfully covered the exposed permafrost with moss, which is equivalent to laying a layer of ecological sunshade for the permafrost to help cool it down~"
"Moreover, these moss layers can preserve other plant seeds, allowing more plants to take root and sprout in the permafrost and restore the ecology."
Netizens couldn't help but sigh:
[Fuck, sometimes I think people’s wisdom is pretty awesome!]
The earth is broken, and humans are mending it. Some tear the earth apart, while others mend the mountains and rivers.
[Scientists: We are just nature's porters~]
[Moss: I am aloof, cold-resistant and drought-resistant, but easy to keep alive!]
[Frozen Soil: Thank you, Moss, for the parasol!]
"Now let me announce the rules for our first task, 'Carpet War.'" Xu Ying raised his eyes slightly and tapped the rule card with his fingertips.
"The scoring rules are simple,"
"Five celebrity guests competed to spread moss on the frozen soil—"
Xu Ying snapped his fingers. "Whoever lays the largest area of moss within the allotted game time will be the winner of this round!"
"Each person will receive 10 pikas as helpers," she said with a sly wink. "As for how to recruit these helpers," she paused deliberately, "it all depends on the abilities of the guests!"
"Master Xu, let's get started!" Lu Jinyu was already impatient. Isn't this just a simple coloring game? Just like in a game, all you have to do is grab supplies and use the right tactics to command your teammates!
He wants to prove himself through this game! He doesn't rely on his teammates to play games, he can win big even in other games!
