This ancient town is very large, with many small alleys. The streets and alleys are filled with the flavor of time. The bluestone roads are bumpy, and every brick and stone tells an ancient story.

The ancient town is run through by a river, with willows swaying along the riverbank. A gentle breeze creates ripples on the riverbank.

No matter how well-preserved an ancient town is, there will be living residents and modern things in the town.

Xu Zhao also happened to see a few shared one-way buses parked at the entrance of an alley. The town was so big that if he had to walk, he would probably have to complete the task very late.

Humans are superior to other life forms because they are able to make good use of tools.

She didn't care whether the photographer behind her could keep up and walked straight towards the shared bicycles.

The production crew had never confiscated a cell phone, so Xu Zhao simply scanned a small blue car for himself.

The photographer following her: ...

Why are there shared bicycles here!

Xu Zhao adjusted the bicycle seat to a suitable height and sat down. Just as he was about to ride, his photographer stopped him and said, "Zhao Zhao, the bicycle is going too fast."

Are you kidding? Carrying such a heavy camera for a whole day is tiring enough, and now I have to run. How can I possibly carry it?

Only then did she remember that there was a photographer behind her. Even though she had filmed several episodes of the show, she was still a little unaccustomed to the outdoor live filming. She smiled awkwardly and took out her phone, "Why don't I scan a bicycle for you too?"

The photographer glanced at the bicycle and immediately refused: "No thanks."

This bicycle has no rear seat and can only accommodate one person. He only has two hands, which he uses to either hold the camera or hold the handlebars.

Fortunately, there was not only a photographer behind Xu Zhao, but also her PD.

The PD immediately made the decision and said to the photographer, "Please bear with me and follow the bicycle for a while. I'll ask if there are any residents nearby who would like to borrow an electric scooter. I'll drive you to shoot the film."

The director team did not expect Xu Zhao to find a means of transportation for himself, and the program crew did not notice that there were shared bicycles in the ancient town, so they did not prepare anything and gave Xu Zhao an opportunity to exploit the loophole.

After hearing this, the photographer was completely dejected and cursed in his heart: "It's so hard to make money, and it's so hard to eat shit!" But he didn't show his inner thoughts.

The PD who was filming the scene knew that he couldn't exploit his colleagues like this, so he discussed with Xu Zhao, "Can you push your bike first? You can ride it after we borrow one."

Afraid that Xu Zhao would disagree, the PD tried to speak as gently as possible and discuss things with Xu Zhao.

Listening to the voice of the PD, Xu Zhao immediately had an idea. Since it was a discussion, she could make some requests.

Such a good opportunity is the perfect time to blackmail them.

Now or never.

"You can do as I say, but there are some requirements." After saying that, she pretended to step on the pedal, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I will leave immediately."

The PD was hesitating. She had filmed two episodes behind Xu Zhao and knew that Xu Zhao was not someone who could be easily fooled. She had a purpose for everything she did.

She looked at the photographer, signaling with her eyes if he could run after her.

No matter how good a shared bicycle is, it is pedaled, and no matter how fast it goes, it is only about ten yards per hour. She can catch up with it in no time by borrowing an electric bike.

"As long as she doesn't give money to Xu Zhao, we will try our best to meet her requests." When the PD was about to decide to communicate with the photographer, Zheng Wen's voice came to his ears.

Zheng Wenke monitors every live broadcast room in real time, so he naturally knows what happened on Xu Zhao's side.

Their show has no script, and all it emphasizes is authenticity.

Promoting Yuchao culture is one thing, but the most essential thing about a show is that it has to be interesting to watch, which is in line with their purpose of combining education with entertainment. However, the guests invited are not very good at variety shows when it comes to games, especially in the second episode, and it is Xu Zhao who makes things happen, which makes the show interesting.

This episode was so brain-burning that he even suspected that the guests might not even understand the rules of the game.

In this case, we might as well place our hopes on Xu Zhao.

He wanted to see what tricks Xu Zhao could come up with, maybe it would bring something different to the show.

But for the sake of fairness, what if Xu Zhao asked the program crew to pay her before she would do it? This kind of thing has happened more than once in other variety shows. In order to avoid such things, she must communicate well with Xu Zhao as a prerequisite.

Since the leader had spoken, the PD naturally had no objection. "Tell us what you want. We'll try to agree to anything reasonable. But to ensure fairness, we won't pay you a penny more."

Xu Zhao, who had no intention of asking for money, agreed on the spot, "Answer me one question, and that's enough for me to go."

"Appreciate further details."

If it involves something too confidential, will she tell it or not?

I hope Xu Zhao won’t make things too difficult for her.

"The questions aren't tricky. First, is there anything I can buy all for 500 wen? You should know what I mean by PD."

This question was just Xu Zhao's way of verifying her own idea. If she was wrong from the beginning, then everything she did afterwards would be in vain. She took this opportunity to ask the truth.

Besides, she thought she hadn't asked very detailed questions.

When Xu Zhao's PD heard this, he didn't understand what I meant by "I should understand"?

It took me a while to come to my senses. If I buy them all for 500 coins, wouldn’t that be a monopoly?

This point was taken into consideration when the game was designed. Top students are different. They thought of this aspect so soon after the game started, and immediately hit upon the key to winning the game.

But if she points it out directly, would it be considered a foul?

Not only the PD was struggling, but even Zheng Wen behind the scenes was hesitant.

Seeing that PD was slow to speak, Xu Zhao began to doubt himself. Was it because what I said was too profound and PD didn’t understand?

Shouldn't it be? If the PD knows the content of today's game, they should know what I'm talking about.

Then there is only one possibility, it involves game spoilers, and they are unwilling to tell.

"Since it's hard to say, I'll leave first so as not to waste my own time."

"Tell her!" Zheng Wen made the decision immediately.

Since Xu Zhao could ask this question, she must have figured out the game, so she should just go with the flow.

The filming PD quickly stopped Xu Zhao from riding, "Tell me, you guessed it right, there's a product that's sold out for 500 wen."

If it weren't for the fact that there was only her and the photographer following them and no third person, no one would be able to borrow a car now. Even if the director sent someone to borrow one, it would be too late by the time they got here.

I can only fight with Xu Zhao here.

Xu Zhao smiled knowingly and immediately made his request, "My request is not excessive. Just take me to the quest point for this product."

Seeing how considerate she is, she doesn't ask the director team to tell her directly what she needs to buy. As long as she knows the task point and the task, she will do it honestly and find out which product it is through her own efforts.

Photographer and PD: ...

Do people say it?

To be honest, what's the difference between this and just letting Xu Zhao win?

"This..." I'm afraid it won't work.

The PD had just said one word to refuse when he was interrupted by Zheng Wen's voice in the headset, "Tell her."

Zheng Wen stared at the monitor in front of him. At this moment, someone was already heading towards this mission point. It was for this reason that Zheng Wen agreed to tell Xu Zhao.

If Xu Zhao went there now, there was a high possibility that the two of them would have the same mission, and it would depend on who could complete it faster.

If Xu Zhao was fast enough, he could buy all the goods first.

If the other person is faster, there will be two situations. One is that the two people become competitors in terms of goods, and the other is that this person buys all the goods and becomes the final winner.

Either way, it’s worth watching!

The PD who was filming the video before he finished speaking immediately changed the subject and said, "Wait for me for a moment. I'll take you there once I borrow an electric bike."

After Xu Zhao stated his request, his eyes were fixed on the PD's facial expression, and her surprised expression was not ignored by Xu Zhao.

It seems that Director Zheng is behind the scenes directing everything. Since she agreed so readily, there must be some conspiracy waiting for her.

"Okay, I'll wait here."

No matter what conspiracy or scheme Director Zheng has waiting for her, she will wait and see.

The filming of the program crew was arranged with the people of the entire ancient town, and it was very easy to temporarily borrow an idle electric vehicle.

After a while, PD came to Xu Zhao wearing a helmet and riding an electric scooter.

The photographer was tall and had long legs, so he sat astride the girl from behind.

"Follow me closely, I'll take you there."

PD had already learned from Zheng Wen that someone was heading towards the mission point. She was also very curious about who would get the product, so without any further ado, she took Xu Zhao straight to the mission point.

Two wheels are always faster than legs. The mission point was not close to where they were, but with the help of wheels, they arrived there quickly.

Xu Zhao looked in the direction of the PD's finger, and sure enough, there was a stall owner selling things. Her cart was filled with all kinds of things, and there were only five of each item.

I think each item on this stall should be worth one hundred coins.

And now there are still five of each, it seems that no one has bought the things.

Xu Zhao quickly stepped forward to ask the boss, and sure enough, he got the same answer as he had guessed.

"Boss, what is your mission?" Xu Zhao didn't say much. It would be better to finish the mission quickly and get the clue.

The female boss is the NPC of this game. After hearing Xu Zhao asking about the task, she said the lines she had memorized early in the morning.

"I have a younger brother who will soon be taking the Spring Imperial Examination. I have a copy of his handwritten book here. Could you please take it to Baoguo Temple and offer it before the Buddha to absorb the incense and pray for my brother to pass the exam? If he succeeds, I will give you the clues I need."

"Is it that simple?" Xu Zhao was a little skeptical.

Although this task was full of irrationality, Xu Zhao even suspected that the person who set the question was a bit careless.

Take modern times for example. In order to bless their children to get into a good university, any good family would go to burn incense and worship Buddha in person, kneeling and kowtow three times in temples big and small across the country.

The stall owner in front of me is different from others. He hopes that his brother will pass the imperial examination, but he is unwilling to kneel before the Buddha himself. This is the biggest absurdity.

In the end, Xu Zhao did not ask the question in his mind: Does this stall owner want his younger brother to go to high school?

The stall owner smiled without saying anything and pushed the book in his hand in front of Xu Zhao.

She is only responsible for stating the tasks, and the rest is waiting for the guests to come and buy things. The rest of the lines and tasks have different prices.

Xu Zhao took the book and said, "Okay."

There are topographic maps of the ancient town everywhere, on which the location of Baoguo Temple is clearly marked.

She threw the book into the basket, sat on the bicycle, touched the ground with her feet, and moved towards the direction of the map. She found her location on the map, looked at the location of Baoguo Temple, and her thoughts went through the map, and she had an idea in her mind.

Ride a shared bicycle towards Baoguo Temple.

This time, there is no need for the director team to lead the way.

There was no one on the road, and Xu Zhao rode his bike very fast and soon appeared at the gate of Baoguo Temple.

The Baoguo Temple in front of me is similar to the one in my memory. The only difference is that the outer wall of the Baoguo Temple is now damaged, and the bright yellow wall is covered with a lot of ground weaving. It has long lost the grandeur, solemnity and mystery in my memory.

Now, Xu Zhao really believed that this ancient town might really be the ruins of the imperial city of Yue Kingdom. Now on this trip, he inexplicably felt like revisiting an old place.

After getting off the car, Xu Zhao found a corner with lush ground grass, locked the shared bicycle again and hid it.

She must protect her means of transportation. If her car is gone before she gets out, she will have to run back to complete the task.

Because she had been here once before, her memory was good and it was easy for her to remember the route she had walked before.

Walking into Baoguo Temple feels as familiar as going home. As soon as you step into the temple, you can hear the singing of birds and the faint sound of wooden fish knocking as if floating from afar. At this moment, your restless heart seems to calm down, and winning or losing is not so important. Let the vicious business war go aside.

Xu Zhaogang had just walked through a hall when she met Su Pianpian who had come in earlier than her.

It's really fate.

It seems that Su Pianpian also chose this task like her.

No wonder Director Zheng agreed to her request so readily. It turned out that he was waiting for her here. As expected, variety show directors are all as smart as human beings.

"Senior Su."

Since they met, it was natural to go up and say hello. What's more, Su Pianpian was going to pay the money. If she just walked past as if she was invisible, she would be drowned in the saliva of netizens.

"You are...Xu Zhao?"

Before Su Pianpian came to participate in the show, she specially watched the previous two episodes and was deeply impressed by the little girl Xu Zhao.

Not only is the little girl pretty, she is also smart, otherwise she wouldn't have fooled the other guests in the last episode.

A girl like this appears here now, and looking at her holding the same notebook as mine, I'm afraid she has chosen to agree to the task.

I originally thought this task was easy, but it seems it will be a test of speed.

However, they still have to put in some effort. The competition is just a game. Apart from the recording of the show, they are not in competition with each other.

"Senior Su, just call me Zhaozhao." Xu Zhao walked to Su Pianpian's side and glanced at what she was holding calmly. It seemed that she had not yet completed the task, so there was still time for everything.
