The backdrop can also be propped up.
Chapter 259 Starting the mission
The performance had changed to a new guest, Shen Changming.
Shen Changming didn't wear the same clothes as the other three, but he did get a trendy perm and made eight hundred different expressions every second in front of the red box.
Lu Renkui felt he should eat more after watching half of the show, so he opened another bag of nuts and continued eating. While eating, he wondered to himself why this program only invited Xiao Keyuan's rivals.
No, it seems like they're all rivals. This made Lu Renkui even more confused—did the production team specifically invite these people to put on a show of fighting over billing order?
"Oh dear, I wonder if this show can last long." Lu Renkui thought to himself as he chewed on an almond. "This lifestyle variety show has only gained popularity by having celebrities clash on screen and their fans arguing. The director is really bold; isn't he afraid of the backlash?"
After finishing the bag of nuts, the last guest of the show arrived, the slightly older actress Wei Qingchun.
Wei Qingchun must have researched the show beforehand, as she didn't wear any clothes that would make it difficult to move around. Although she is already in her forties or fifties, she doesn't have many wrinkles on her face. Even if she does, they only add to her charm, making her look mature and composed.
After Wei Qingchun entered the courtyard, he first greeted the people who were still in the courtyard. Lu Renkui only then noticed that in addition to Wei Qingchun, Huali and Lu Haichuan who had not guessed the answer, there was also the newly arrived Shen Changming.
"Oh dear, why are you all standing in the yard?" Wei Qingchun asked with a smile, his eyes darting around at the three young people in front of him with a puzzled look.
The three of them smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
At this moment, the director's voice came from the speakers: "Please put your hands into the red box. Please put your hands into the red box."
“The red box… this red box, right?” Wei Qingchun walked up to the red box, reached inside, and touched something warm and smooth.
"Oh my god, what's stuffed in this box?" Wei Qingchun touched it uncertainly again. "Let me guess what's inside this box?"
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Wei Qingchun heard the production team's voices coming from the speakers again: "Please guess why the things in the box give you this feeling. Please guess why the things in the box give you this feeling?"
"Oh, let me guess, huh?" Wei Qingchun was noticeably bolder than the previous ones—or perhaps she didn't know how to project a sense of humor—so she touched the item in the box a couple more times and said uncertainly, "It feels like a cylinder... Is this a glass thermos?"
"Is Mr. Wei sure?" The director's voice came from the small speaker again.
"Hmm... I'm sure." Wei Qingchun thought for a while and then nodded.
Then the director's voice came from the speaker: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Wei, you answered incorrectly. Mr. Wei, please pick up the red box and check what's inside."
"Oops, I guessed wrong." Wei Qingchun was a little regretful—she should have thought about it a little more—then she picked up the box, but suddenly felt that it was normal that she couldn't guess it.
Because inside that box was a glass cup filled with hand warmers.
"No way, how could you guess that? How did the previous few even get through?" Wei Qingchun complained loudly.
The other three people in the courtyard nodded in agreement.
The four people who had already entered the house and were standing by the window watching the commotion fell silent, except for Xiao Keyuan—because they hadn't guessed at all.
When Wei Qingchun stood with Huali and the others following the director's instructions from the speaker, the director issued a new task: "Now there are 4 people with housing, and 4 people without housing, and this big bungalow only has 6 rooms. That means there are only 2 rooms left."
Upon hearing this, everyone present knew what the director was going to do next.
Sure enough, the director's plan came through the speaker: "Now you will be paired up with the people in the rooms. Only the winners can enter the remaining two rooms."
"Now, guests who already own accommodations, please come out of your accommodations."
Upon hearing this, the group of people who had been watching the commotion from their rooms came out and stood next to those who had no housing.
Then the staff member who had been hiding under the table crawled out, holding several colorful pieces of paper. Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the pieces of paper were divided into four colors—green, red, yellow, and blue—with two pieces of each color.
"The order of these papers will be shuffled, and each guest will draw one paper. Guests with papers of the same color will form a team." The director's voice came through the speakers again.
The staff member first walked up to Lu Renkui, who was standing at the very edge inside Sen Ouling's body.
The staff member gestured for Lu Renkui, who was inside Sen Ouling's body, to close her eyes. Then, she shuffled the pieces of paper in her hand and said to Lu Renkui, "Teacher Sen, you can draw now."
Lu Renkui stretched out his hand and hovered it in the air for a moment before finally lowering it. He pulled out a piece of paper, opened his eyes, and saw that it was a blue piece of paper.
The staff didn't linger, but walked directly to Jiang Xinhe and offered him a tissue.
The wait for everyone to finish drawing lots was still a little long, so Lu Renkui idly started fiddling with the blue piece of paper in her hand. First, she folded the blue piece of paper into a small paper airplane and tossed it into the air a couple of times. Then she unfolded the paper airplane and folded it into a paper crane. Finally, she unfolded the paper crane and tried to make the blue piece of paper spin on her finger.
Finally, just as the blue paper was about to tear, all the papers were pulled out. Following the director's instructions, Lu Renkui went to find the person who was holding the same blue paper as him.
Throughout his search, Lu Renkui kept repeating to himself: I hope it's Huali, Jiang Xinhe, or Wei Qingchun; I hope it's Huali, Jiang Xinhe, or Wei Qingchun; I hope it's Huali, Jiang Xinhe, or Wei Qingchun; preferably Wei Qingchun; preferably Wei Qingchun; preferably Wei Qingchun; Wei Qingchun; Wei Qingchun; Wei Qingchun…
Lu Renkui, with her head down, didn't make eye contact with anyone opposite her, only staring at the pieces of paper in their hands. When she saw a pair of hands surrounded by what appeared to be middle-aged or elderly people holding a blue piece of paper, Lu Renkui started mentally celebrating—this Wei Qingchun, mentioned in the original text, was a very easy-going person.
When Lu Renkui looked up and saw the face in front of her that had remained vibrant despite the passage of time, she felt even more excited. She reached out her hand to Wei Qingchun and said, "Hello, Teacher Wei, my name is Sen Ouling."
“Sen Ouling… Oh! I remember now, aren’t you the one who played the character named Miyin?” Wei Qingchun also reached out and shook “Sen Ouling’s” hand, smiling as she said, “You acted very well, you really deserve the role of the female lead.”
"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher Wei." Although she knew there was some politeness involved, Lu Renkui still felt inexplicably guilty—after all, she wasn't the original owner of this body.
However, the original owner will also receive this memory, and she should be very happy when she remembers it—Wei Qingchun is Sen Ouling's role model, because Sen Ouling can be said to have grown up watching Wei Qingchun's performances. Who wouldn't want to be praised by their idol? If she can be encouraged by this, she might become stronger.
After everyone found their teammates, the director began to explain the rules of the game.
"There are six mission locations in this village. Each group can only go to one mission location at a time to complete one mission. Multiple missions cannot be carried out at the same time."
"After all six mission locations have been completed, the mission results will be tallied. The two teams that completed the most missions will win, and the two people in those two teams who do not have housing will receive the remaining two housing units."
After hearing the rules, everyone was eager to get started, waiting for the director to say "start" so they could lead their teammates out to complete the mission.
Unexpectedly, a group of men in black suddenly rushed out from outside, working in pairs, and lifted up all the guests.
Then Director Wang's voice came from the speakers again: "However, you will be separated, and you can only complete the mission after you reunite."
"What!" Jiang Xinhe exclaimed, feigning surprise. "Why wasn't this mentioned at the beginning?"
"Putting it at the beginning diminishes the surprise. Good luck, everyone." Director Wang didn't seem too concerned, continuing with the procedure. "Now, begin!"
At a command, the men in black escorted the guests out of the courtyard one by one, and then each chose a path to run.
Lu Renkui, who was inside Sen Ouling's body, was carried to the village entrance by two men in black before being put down.
The moment Lu Renkui, inside Sen Ouling's body, touched the ground, the two men in black vanished as if they had started sprinting.
Lu Renkui didn't linger for a moment and immediately ran back to the village to find Wei Qingchun, keeping an eye out for the mission location along the way.
Through observation, Lu Renkui discovered several similar red lines. The location of the mission could be found by following the clues in the direction indicated by those red lines. However, since Lu Renkui was the only one inside Sen Ouling's body, the staff did not allow him to do it.
But it didn't matter. Lu Renkui noted down the mission location and continued searching for Wei Qingchun.
Along the way, Lu Renkui shouted Wei Qingchun's name, and her efforts finally paid off when she heard Wei Qingchun respond loudly.
As soon as the two met, Lu Renkui pulled Wei Qingchun towards the mission location closest to them.
Then there, Lu Renkui ran into Xiao Keyuan, who was also with Shen Changming.
