Chapter 15: Lin Yu has brought this program to a height it didn't belong to! (Seeking data)

"We're here, we're here."

"My god! I'm exhausted."

Although the five-kilometer journey wasn't very long, the complex terrain, road obstacles, and the scorching weather along the way had left all six of them quite fatigued.

Bai Lu, Wang Wang Churan, and Zhou Shen, who were riding small electric scooters, were doing a bit better.

But Li Chen, Sha Yi, and Yang Yang were drenched in sweat, their entire bodies soaked as if they had fallen into water.

There was no helping it; after all, it was a live broadcast, and they couldn't change the schedule because of the weather.

"This snack street is so pretty."

"Spicy chicken."

"Red-braised pig trotters."

"And fried rice cakes."

This was a snack street near the scenic area, looking extremely distinctive with its Chinese-style buildings and hundreds of snack stalls of all kinds. Just looking at these appetizing delicacies made one drool and salivate.

"Wow! It smells so good! Just one sniff is enough to relieve the fatigue."

Bai Lu lingered at a stall, refusing to leave, her beautiful eyes darting around.

"I wonder how Lin Yu and the others are doing." ===== CHAPTER 35 =====

"Let's ask Director Yao!"

"Okay."

Before Li Chen could find Director Yao, the walkie-talkie on their side rang at the perfect moment.

"Li Chen, Bai Lu, take the guests to gather at the scenic area below the hillside. You won't be doing the task at the snack street this time. I've already notified Lin Yu's side."

"They have some symptoms of heatstroke. I've already sent the program's accompanying doctor to check on them. They are resting in place now and are no longer in any serious trouble."

"The first task will start with you six first. Alright, head over there."

"......"

Li Chen had the speakerphone on, and everyone heard it clearly.

"I told you, we shouldn't have walked in this weather."

"As long as people are fine, let's head down."

"What a pity, I wanted to stroll around the snack street."

"Zhou Shen, check how far the scenic area is from us."

"Brother Sha, it's fine. I just checked; it's right down the mountain. It's all downhill, no need to worry."

"Alright! Let's go."

Li Chen, Bai Lu, and the others rubbed their sore backsides and once again mounted their bikes to embark on the journey to find the task point.

Meanwhile, a pickup truck pulled over to the side of the road at the snack street, and three young men dressed in camera gear jumped off silently.

"My god! How did you do that?"

Song Song Yuqi looked at Lin Yu as if she had seen a ghost, terrified and incredulous, even feeling a bit creeped out.

Just moments ago, Lin Yu had been on the pickup truck, using the program's walkie-talkie to contact Li Chen.

He had issued instructions in an orderly manner, and that voice was exactly the same as Director Yao's.

"Damn! This... this... this..."

"Lin Yu, you... you... you..."

Fan Fan Chengcheng was also flustered, stuttering.

That scene just now had caused Fan Fan Chengcheng to crash on the spot. He had previously recorded *Hi-Fun* with Director Yao.

The two were very familiar with each other; he knew Director Yao's habits and mannerisms like the back of his hand.

But when he heard those few sentences from Lin Yu just now, Fan Fan Chengcheng felt a bit dazed.

In the end?

Who exactly was the real Director Yao?

The *Running Man* production team was completely baffled.

Wasn't the task location at the snack street?

They hadn't received any information about changing the task location!?

"Director! Are we going down the mountain?"

"Director? Are you listening?"

At this moment, Director Yao was also stunned, holding the walkie-talkie in a daze.

Lin Yu, he was actually able to imitate his voice—no, not imitate, but replicate!

Every word, every sentence, even the pauses at every punctuation mark, were indistinguishable from the real thing.

"That wasn't me talking just now; it was Lin Yu."

When Director Yao said this, he also felt it was somewhat absurd.

And when the production team heard this, the entire staff gasped in unison.

Holy cow!

Lin Yu must have been a parrot in his past life!

"Don't tell the guests yet. Just follow them down with two cameramen. The task location hasn't changed; it's still at the snack street."

Director Yao hesitated slightly before giving the order. He also wanted to see the expressions on Li Chen, Bai Lu, and the others' faces once they found out the truth.

Lin Yu,

He had actually managed, by his own strength, to bring this variety show to a height it didn't belong to!

"Lin Yu, you can actually imitate Director Yao's voice? That's too awesome!"

"How did you practice that? Teach me, quick."

Fan Fan Chengcheng finally recovered, deeply shocked, and wouldn't let go of Lin Yu.

"It's not just Director Yao."

"There's also you."

The corners of Lin Yu’s mouth curled up slightly, and he said leisurely with a profound look in his eyes.

"Damn."

*Thump.*

Fan Fan Chengcheng was so scared he immediately took half a step back, collapsing to the ground, trembling all over.

Song Song Yuqi, standing to the side, also covered her little mouth in astonishment.

Lin Yu could actually imitate Fan Fan Chengcheng's voice too.

"What about me? Can you imitate me?"

Song Song Yuqi pointed at herself curiously.

"Hmm! It's not impossible."

Lin Yu pursed his lips, feigning a cute expression.

Oh my!

Hearing her own voice,

Song Song Yuqi felt as if she had been electrocuted; she was thrilled.

"Hahahaha, so you used Director Yao's voice to trick them all down the mountain?"

"Incredible! This is just too incredible! It's a real master skill!"

Song Song Yuqi stomped her feet in excitement. She had recorded many variety shows at home and abroad over the years, but Lin Yu's way of playing was truly one of a kind!

"Don't talk about them; even if I heard it, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference! If you only listen to the voice, this is Director Yao himself."

Fan Fan Chengcheng said with certainty, enunciating every word.

[Ding]

[Favorability Visualization Activated]

Hearing the metallic chime in his mind, Lin Yu was startled. When he turned to look at Song Song Yuqi, sure enough, there was a tiny red heart above her little head, with a clear numerical value flickering next to it.

[Song Song Yuqi: Current Favorability 10%]

[Favorability Explanation: Opposite-sex favorability over 60% is a friend, over 80% is a lover state.]

[Same-sex favorability over 60% is a friend, over 80% is a brother.]

Lin Yu turned his head to look again and was immediately taken aback.

There was also a red heart above Fan Fan Chengcheng's head, and the value had soared directly to 75%.

The ancients did not deceive me: you scoff at a 200-yuan hotpot girlfriend, but a 200-yuan hotpot buddy instantly becomes a godfather! ===== CHAPTER 36 =====
