The longed-for village system

Chapter 198 Participation in Recording
"We don't have any guests this episode, just a few brothers hanging out. You guys will be our guests this time, it's settled then." Huang Sanshi didn't give the two a chance to refuse again, and said to the director, "Director, call them back!"

Yan Min, naturally, obediently instructed the accompanying VJ to call the group back, moving as quickly as if afraid that Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu would run away.

Seeing that the situation was beyond repair, Chen Qing had no choice but to compromise: "Alright! I hope it won't affect your normal filming."

"Don't worry, Xiao Chen! Although our show has a script, it's the same as not having one. We don't care about the script when we're filming. We just do whatever makes us happy. For us, no rules are the rules. Xiao Gu has been on our show before, so you can rest assured that it won't affect our filming schedule," Huang Bo said, answering Chen Qing's concerns.

Zhao Xiaogu smiled and nodded. Indeed, this was the first time she had encountered a variety show like Extreme Jump with no rules. These people could do whatever they wanted, and if they were having too much fun, they might accidentally send a guest to jail for an entire episode. They had done things like that before.

Okay! It seems that this world's Extreme Jump is just as interesting as the previous one. However, in the previous life, Extreme Jump was only nominally considered to have 4 seasons. I didn't expect that in this world, it was still being filmed in 2020, and it was still the same group of people. That's great.

Soon after receiving the news, Yi Xin and the others returned to the entrance of Lou Wai Lou. Xun Ge and Hong Lei also arrived at the scene, and naturally greeted Chen Qing and Zhao Xiao Gu warmly.

"Brother Bo, your luck is just too good! You actually found Xiao Chen and Sister Xiao Gu." Zhang Yixin said with envy.

Winning or losing the game doesn't matter. In any case, none of them cared about winning or losing on this show. What he envied was that Chen Qing followed Huang Bo. He was even thinking of getting to know Chen Qing better so he could learn from him how to create!

"Yeah! Brother Bo, how did you manage to run into him? You're so lucky!"

This was his first time meeting Chen Qing, but he had long heard of Chen Qing's reputation and had always wanted to meet him but never had the chance, so he was quite envious of Huang Bo.

"This is life!"

Huang Bo struck a pose reminiscent of their "Extreme Challenge" finale, looking quite smug. He had only wanted to look in a different direction; who would have thought the two of them would deliver themselves right to his doorstep!

"Alright, first of all, let's welcome Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu to the recording of this episode." Yan Min started by drawing everyone's attention back, and after everyone applauded, she continued to announce the game rules, "Yixin and he are the ones who don't have the password box right now. The two of them can only go into the kitchen to help out and earn information for the next task. The rest of you can go in and enjoy the food."

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Gu, let's go in for a big meal. Xiao Chen, today I'll let you try the authentic West Lake Vinegar Fish."

Chen Qing didn't expect that they could have such a big meal as soon as they arrived. He had originally planned to look around a bit more before finding a restaurant to have a proper meal, but now it seems that the result is not bad. At least he can get a good meal for free.

"By the way, how are you guys going to play this round? You don't have any rules, but surely there's a way to determine the winner in the end!"

Since he'd already joined the recording, he figured he might as well have some fun. He didn't want to record an episode clueless and confused, only to be sold out by these people and still be thanking them. That would make him look really stupid when it was broadcast later.
"This round is a battle for family treasure. There will be several tasks to complete, after which we will obtain information about the family treasure. This is all the information we know so far. We just got the password box. Anyway, Xiao Chen and Xiao Gu, you two come with me for now! Those people are too cunning." Huang Sanshi didn't hide anything and directly told Chen Qing the information he knew and how to play.

Although Huang Sanshi was known as the "Old Fox" and often outmaneuvered the others, he rarely resorted to scheming or betrayal, especially at the beginning when most of what he said was true. "So, the password box is the key. Without it, we don't even have a chance to win in the end, right?"

“That’s right, so you and Xiao Gu will come with me!” Huang Sanshi nodded again in response to Chen Qing’s words.

Chen Qing already knew how to play the game. Now, all he had to do was figure out how to snatch one of the combination lock boxes from Huang Sanshi, Huang Bo, and the other three. He needed at least one ticket to the finals. After much deliberation, he set his sights on Xun Ge.

Huang Sanshi and Huang Bo are both cunning old foxes; it won't be so easy for them to be tricked. Hong Lei is too risky to take advantage of, after all, the other party is known as the rule-breaker of the game, and he is definitely the biggest contributor to the current state of the show.

In the very first episode of the first season, he started stealing things. Ever since he stole Zhang Yixin's suitcase, his "thuggish" nature has completely taken hold. He'll steal whatever he can, and if he can't steal something, he'll destroy it. He's a headache for the production team.

Xun Ge's behavior was that of a fool, the easiest to fool among the three fools of the show. Although Zhang Yixin was simple-minded, he had transformed into a little fox after years of filming, so it was not easy to trick him, especially since he did not have a combination lock on him at the time.

After making up his mind, Chen Qing was already thinking about when to take action, but of course not now, he hadn't eaten yet!
I don’t know if it was because there were fewer people at night, so the food was served faster, or if they were given special treatment because they were filming. In any case, their dishes started to be served one after another, and the six of them had a total of thirty dishes.

"Didn't you say your show had a limited budget? Looks like that was a lie!"

Chen Qing couldn't help but recall Director Yan Min's "insufficient funding" joke. He was prepared to come in and eat steamed buns, after all, there's a rule in Extreme Challenge that losing is winning and winning is losing, and it seems that things are relatively "harmonious" right now.

"Xiao Chen really understands us. These thirty dishes aren't something you can just eat casually. You need to complete our quiz task to taste them. There are ten questions in total. For every wrong answer, three dishes will be removed."

Huang Sanshi and the others were already used to the show's production team's antics. They would be uneasy if the show didn't cause some trouble. Besides, they should be able to answer half of the ten questions correctly, and it would be quite a feast for six people to eat 15 dishes.

"We're not afraid of anything. With San Shi and Xiao Bo, what do we have to be afraid of?" Hong Lei didn't take the production team seriously at all.

"Very good, first question: What is the deepest point of West Lake? The error cannot exceed 5 centimeters."

The first question stumped everyone. Not to mention them, even some locals in Hangzhou didn't know how deep the West Lake was at its deepest point! So they could only guess the answer.

"Teacher Huang, you say 5 meters, I say 5 meters 10, Xiao Gu, you say 5 meters 20, and everyone else add 10 centimeters. I remember it should be more than 5 meters." Chen Qing leaned forward and spoke to the group of people sitting side by side.
