I'm crazy, don't mess with me. I just love to pretend to be crazy, remember that.

【I really can't stand Si Qian anymore! My family doesn't support her, so can she please stop freeloading?!】

[Any offline boosting services available? I'll offer 10,000 RMB, anyone want to verify Si Qian's account?]

Are there gangsters upstairs?

[It's so easy to make money with 208 (presumably referring to a currency unit), and you can even throw a tantrum and quit if things don't go well at work.]

[If you can do it, do it; if you can't, I'll step in.]

Seeing his good brother in trouble, Sheng Chi was the first to stand up and criticize Si Qian, his tone extremely impatient:

"Do you know how annoying it is for you to try so hard to get Li Ge's attention?"

Seeing Sheng Chi sharing Fu Xiao's hatred, Si Qian simply spread her hands and shrugged indifferently.

"It's good to be annoyed; comfort is for the dead."

After saying that, regardless of how anxious the other party was, Si Qian pulled Pei Li to the next place.

The two went up to the fifth floor and continued their search for the next NPC.

Pei Li suddenly raised his hand and pinched Si Qian's arm, then carefully examined him from head to toe.

"You're just going to let him go like that?"

Why didn't he slap Fu Xiao?

Not scientific.

After hearing Pei Li's words, Si Qian silently extended her right hand, her wrist stiffly turning halfway up, looking like a robot part that was old, rusty, and somewhat stuck.

"My tenosynovitis has flared up, and my hand hurts."

She was afraid that if she had slapped herself again, she would have dislocated her bones.

Why not use your left hand to fan?

"My left hand isn't as strong as my right, I'm afraid he'll beat me to my heart's content."

Pei Li gave a knowing look and bent down to lean closer:

"You can have a fan installed here, it's five yuan a time."

"No need. I'm the only one who earns money; no one else gets to earn money from me."

Si Qian is a notorious miser who never spends a penny.

The second clue given by the NPC was the mouth of the prop's owner. The two of them pieced the images together and managed to cobble together half of the photo.

"The eyebrows, eyes, and mouth are all there, but only half of them are visible. We still need to find the remaining NPCs."

"It's not simple yet."

Si Qian was holding her phone, looking down and fiddling with something. Soon, a complete photo was taken.

Pei Li looked at the photo in Si Qian's hand: "Where did this come from?"

Si Qian: "I photoshopped it."

Oh, I forgot to mention, she also worked part-time as a proxy photographer before.

Seriously speaking, many of the most viral photos of popular celebrities in the entertainment industry were taken by her personally, carrying her equipment. After the photos were taken, she would edit them on the spot, making her incredibly efficient.

The remaining photo sets were then sold to fans and various fan site administrators.

[I must say, Si Qian's photo is actually quite well photoshopped.]

[Speaking of which, why does her photo editing technique and style look so similar to several other fan site admins in the industry?]

[You guys don't know this, do you? Actually, several fan site admins in the Chinese entertainment industry bought their photos from a proxy photographer named "I'll fucking kill you."]

Director Zheng was dumbfounded. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, but his leg hit the corner of the coffee table. The vase on the table fell down and shattered on the floor, hitting his toe and making him howl in pain.

Hearing the wailing and howling, Assistant Director Wu quickly ran over.

"Youqian~"

"Mei Qian~"

"What happened?"

Assistant Director Wu quickly went over and pulled Director Zheng, who was in tears, up.

"I bumped into something!"

"what?"

Director Zheng was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. Looking at the shattered vase on the floor, and then at the waiter who had rushed over after hearing the commotion, he quickly pulled him aside and began to speak:

"Pay...pay me back..."

Assistant Director Wu suddenly realized and also got excited: "Losing money? This couple is really good! Now the 'Losing Money' couple is almost catching up with the 'Chuan Yue' couple!"

Director Zheng, unable to contain himself any longer, pointed at a pile of porcelain shards on the ground and roared:

"I mean, I'm making you pay them back!"

"..."

While they were talking, Fu Xiaoliu, Ye, Si Qian, and Pei Li simultaneously found the dressing room where the program crew members were.

At this moment, Director Zheng took off his shoes to check if his feet were alright.

Fu Xiaogang entered the room wanting to catch his breath, but when he took a deep breath, a strange smell hit his nostrils.

He almost vomited.

Liu Ye silently retreated through the door.

Following closely behind, Si Qian pulled Pei Li and turned around to look for other rooms.

Fu Xiao gritted his teeth and searched the lounge. Surprisingly, he actually found the list of staff members who participated in the recording of this episode and their corresponding photos in Director Zheng's shoes.

Wow, baby is so smart!! Xiao Ge's brain really works!

[Now we don't need to do any tasks anymore. We can just find the right planner from the production team, haha!]

Director Zheng had planned everything meticulously, but he hadn't anticipated that the guests would act so unpredictably.

Who's the kind person who hid this in the sole of their shoe?!

After receiving the project plan, Fu Xiao immediately found photos of the prop owners for each group, took pictures with her phone, and sent them to the group chat.

What started as completing tasks and gathering clues has quickly turned into a search competition.

The eight people in the mall were like wild horses, each searching for the owner of their respective props.

Upon seeing this, Liu Ye immediately switched to praise mode:

"Xiao-ge is pretty amazing! So smart!"

As he spoke, Liu Ye handed the other person a piece of chocolate.

Fu Xiao blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and carefully unwrapped the chocolate and ate it.

"Thank you, it's really sweet."

The comments section was flooded with people saying they were totally shipping them.

Oh, this little puppy is so easily embarrassed! I really want to rub his cheeks!

My baby just looks a bit masculine; she's actually a shy little girl!

When she blushes, she really looks like a little girl! Mommy loves her so much!

[I'm totally shipping them! The late-night snack couple is so sweet!]

The four groups of guests split up and began a thorough search.

The camera pans to each group of guests, accompanied by high-energy background music and footage of everyone sprinting forward with all their might, making the viewers' blood boil.

It was 5:58 PM.

There are only two minutes left until the countdown ends.

The mall's loudspeakers began announcing the progress of each group.

[Dear guests, there are 1 minute and 34 seconds left in the game. Please keep track of the time!]

[The money-losing couple has already found the owner of the prop!]

Si Qian and Pei Li clinked glasses with the NPCs.

The broadcast announcements continued to play.

[The Yichuan Shanyue CP has found an owner for the prop!]

[59 seconds left!]

The viewers in the live chat couldn't help but cheer for the other two groups.

The most tense and exciting moment has arrived!

[Countdown: 20 seconds!]

[The Yaochi couple has found an owner for the props!]

[Only 15 seconds left in the countdown!]

Now only the last set of props has not yet found its owner.

Even Director Zheng broke out in a cold sweat.

[ten!]

[...]

[five!]

[Four!]

In the final three seconds, Liu Ye's panicked cry for help suddenly rang out from the center of the stage on the first floor:

"Help! Teacher Fu has fainted!"

Liu Ye was terrified when he saw Fu Xiao suddenly collapse to the ground, foaming at the mouth. He shouted for help and called an ambulance.

Due to an unexpected incident, the program was forced to suspend recording.

Fu Xiao, who was half-dead, was taken to the hospital emergency room by a large group of people.

……

Half an hour later, the doctor in the white coat came out.

"Doctor, how's it going?"

The other guests immediately stood up to greet them.

Director Zheng has already closed the official Weibo comment section.

His legs are still weak.

Seeing the crowd gathering around, the doctor hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

"After a preliminary examination, we have basically determined that the patient has athlete's foot in his mouth."
