Chapter 178
"Hahaha, it's perfect, the imagery is so vivid, I've already started laughing."
"I didn't expect it to be this funny right from the start of this phase. Lin Yu is truly too good at playing with memes. I estimate that the entire domestic entertainment industry has no equal. Setting up traps for Milk Xiao, scaring Bai Lu—can he even act like a normal person?"
"......"
Under the lens,
Lin Yu is calm and composed, as if he were performing a craniotomy!
"Shall I begin then?"
Lin Yu walks slowly and methodically up to Bai Lu and raises his arm.
"Don't worry, Bai Lu, Lin Yu is just joking, he definitely won't use lethal force."
"Yeah! It's all for the show's effect, Bai Lu, don't be afraid."
Before everyone could finish their words of concern!
In a flash, Lin Yu makes his move. His fingers streak through the air, leaving an afterimage, his speed so fast it's invisible to the naked eye.
"Boom!"
A crisp sound rings out against Bai Lu's forehead. Everything goes silent, as if someone had struck a very zen wooden fish.
"Sob sob sob! It doesn't hurt."
Bai Lu grits her teeth and keeps her eyes closed, saying nothing more after those words.
"You say it doesn't hurt? Bai Lu, you've even sprouted deer antlers on your head."
Lin Yu points with a grin at the red mark.
"Ah! You might as well not live either!"
Hearing Lin Yu's mockery, Bai Lu instantly erupts. As if some seal had been broken, she lunges at Lin Yu, claws bared, and they tumble into a ball once again.
"Hahahaha, stop fighting, we're live-streaming."
"You two! You're truly hopeless."
"I'm sure you must have been bitter enemies in your past lives."
After the production team performs a round of heavy Anmuxi promotion,
the Running Man group follows the production team, boarding a bus to transfer to the next task point.
"The market we are currently at is the West Market in Yanji."
"It is a comprehensive trade market with the ethnic characteristics of the Chaoxian people."
"......"
"The task location this time is right inside the West Market."
"Now, please make your second choice for today."
"There are two ways to reach the task point."
"One is to take the stairs."
"One is to take the escalator."
"You can discuss how you want to go up."
"We will depart one by one shortly."
After Director Yao finishes speaking, wails erupt inside the bus.
Everyone had originally planned to form a private alliance to sanction Lin Yu, but this staggered departure throws them off balance.
"Don't you all feel a bit tired right now?"
Li Chen racks his brain, standing up to hint at the others.
"Hahaha! It's useless! The more you say that, the less anyone will take the elevator."
Bai Lu rubs the deer antlers on her head and says with a chuckle.
"This is inherently a probability problem; it's impossible to guess, and there's no way to mislead."
Zheng Kai points out the key to this task.
Lin Yu is also deep in thought with his eyes closed. Everyone's vigilance is very high now; continuing to play the emotional card or using verbal guidance definitely won't work.
"Lin Yu, you go first."
"Right! Exactly, let Lin Yu go first."
"Yu! Anyway, you already got 6 dice points in the last round, give us a chance to be selfish for once."
"OK! Alright then."
Lin Yu opens his eyes and, without the slightest hesitation, walks off the bus.
"Ahhhhh! Lin Yu!"
In Yanji's West Market, the entire street has been cordoned off.
The roadside is filled with the deafening screams of young fans, a massive and overwhelming presence.
"Lin Yu, you're so handsome!"
"Lin Yu, look over here!"
"Lin Yu, can you give me an autograph?"
Listening to the surrounding clamor and shouts,
Lin Yu pauses, his heart stirred, but he can only smile bitterly and shake his head helplessly.
After all, he is at work, not at a fan meeting. If he went over to greet them now, he'd be doing a disservice to the Running Man production team's appearance fee!
This is also the first time Lin Yu has come into such close contact with so many fans, and the scene leaves him with many emotions.
It seems,
releasing records, holding fan meetings, and concerts are imperative in the future. He can't keep drifting along with this "variety show personality" label; he needs to have some actual works, otherwise, he wouldn't be worthy of the support of these fanatical fans.
"Oh!"
As Lin Yu enters the West Gate, he spots two road signs pointing in two different directions.
Choose the elevator!
Choose the stairs!
"Hello, the task point for this round is on the fifth floor. Please make your choice."
The staff member smiles and nods.
"Choosing between the elevator and the stairs actually makes no difference. The main problem is how to be on the team with fewer people."
Lin Yu analyzes at lightning speed toward the camera.
"The stairs! For the girls doing the live show, it's definitely unrealistic, especially with such a high floor; they'd probably need the makeup artist to touch up their faces after climbing up.
Given the exquisite makeup of Baby, Bai Lu, and Milk Xiao today, they will most likely choose the elevator."
That leaves Sha Yi, Li Chen, Zheng Kai, and Zhou Shen!
Then how about this... hehe!
Meanwhile,
the bus is also analyzing Lin Yu. It looks as exciting as a cat-and-mouse game or a battle between police and thieves.
"I feel like Lin Yu will definitely take the stairs. Although I don't know how many floors there are, his physical strength is definitely up to it."
Zheng Kai also exercises frequently. Only after clashing with Lin Yu last time did he realize that there is always someone better.
Lin Yu's physique is comparable to a national-level athlete; a terrifying existence.
"How about you all choose the stairs, and we three girls choose the elevator? That way, no matter the result, the outcome will be acceptable."
Yang Ying's beautiful eyes turn, and she blurts out.
"Makes sense."
"If Lin Yu takes the elevator, he'll have us three sisters."
"If Lin Yu takes the stairs, our R-coins this round won't be few either."
"Good! It's settled."
"Alright!"
"......."
Watching the real-time footage in the monitoring room, Director Yao shakes his head silently. No matter how cunning the fox, it still can't outmatch the old hunter!
