Chapter 85: Love Variety Show Strategy System (3)

If I had known, I should have gone upstairs to my room as soon as I returned to collect Xie Yang's Resentment Value.

Today, she had taken a slap on purpose just to earn 99 Resentment Value, but she hadn't expected it to be wiped out to nearly zero before she could collect it.

It's all Lu Ming's fault for insisting on giving her an ice pack!

This delay actually caused Xie Yang's Resentment Value to drop back down.

Not only was it all for nothing, but she had also taken a slap for nothing.

【Ding! The supporting female character's Resentment Value has fallen below 0; the Item Exchange Mall is temporarily suspended.】

Xie Danni: "..."

What!!!

The items can't be exchanged anymore?

Then how is she supposed to woo the male guests? How is she supposed to accumulate Favorability Value?

The task of collecting Resentment Value was already difficult; if it weren't for Xie Yang, this illegitimate daughter whose very birth represented a mistake, she wouldn't even know who to collect it from.

You have to know that the persona the company set for her is "a little fairy who doesn't eat the food of mortals."

How can a little fairy go around looking for people to bicker and argue with, snapping back at the slightest disagreement, and provoking hatred from others? Does she not want her fans anymore?

It was only thanks to the Resentment Value contributed by Xie Yang that she had the opportunity to exchange for Props and woo the male guests.

Now, she is suddenly told: the Item Mall is temporarily suspended.

This means she cannot exchange for Props, which means she cannot continue to woo the male guests; then how can she use the male guests' Favorability Value toward her to exchange for more useful Props?

The "Pupil-Cutting Water" she had her eye on, which could make her eyes more charming, was only 20 Favorability Value away from being exchangeable.

Xie Danni stood up abruptly, accidentally kicking the leg of the chair; it hurt so much that her face twisted, but she had to prioritize the immediate situation—she had to make Xie Yang's Resentment Value rise again quickly.

"Xie Yang, what do you mean by this? Where have I offended you? Ever since coming to this program, I pride myself on having treated you quite well. It's one thing if you don't appreciate it, but why must you bully people like this?"

If the original owner were present, these few sentences from Xie Danni would indeed have caused her Resentment Value to skyrocket.

But with this Xie Yang, she only felt like laughing after hearing it: "Big sister, do you even believe these words yourself? Ever since coming to this program, haven't you been colluding with the female guests to cold-shoulder me, isolate me, and push me out? Haven't you been the one bullying people all along? You provoked me first, so why don't you know how to reflect on yourself after I slapped you?"

"!!!"

Xie Danni was so angry her blood pressure rose to a critical point.

Xie Yang! How dare she!

The other guests were all stunned.

What is this situation?

Are the two of them really tearing into each other right in front of the cameras?

Aren't they afraid the production team will edit this into the main episode? This is too dramatic!

"Ahem, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out properly." Xiao Chenglei was the first to step out to mediate.

Liu Yang and the other female guests also hurried forward to persuade Xie Danni back to the sofa.

"Danni, don't be angry. Don't we know what kind of person you are? I think she is deliberately provoking a fight just to make you embarrass yourself in front of the camera."

"Exactly, when have we ever teamed up to isolate her?"

"It's clearly she herself who is unsociable and unwilling to stay with us."

The female guests took turns comforting Xie Danni, glancing at Xie Yang from time to time.

In contrast, Xie Yang's side seemed much more deserted; only Jiang Tuo, who had just come downstairs, took the initiative to walk to her side and curiously asked her what had happened.

After Zhou Hanqing came downstairs, he stood still at the entrance of the stairs and didn't move, his gaze calmly sizing up Xie Yang.

Xie Yang waved her hand, indicating she didn't want to say more, and prepared to go upstairs to wash her face.

The original owner had cried once before she died suddenly, and the tear stains were still hanging on her face; after being blown by the sea breeze, her whole face felt like it was being pickled.

The director cleared his throat at this moment, beginning the afternoon's recording while simultaneously turning on the live stream:

"Hello, guests of the Romantic Cabin, good afternoon! It is time for our daily cooperative game again. Today's cooperative game is 'Finding Our Lucky Plant'."

"You need to first decide the transportation to be used for the outing later through three rounds of mini-games. Guests with the same transportation automatically become partners and will go to the Tropical Botanical Garden together to find the lucky plant. The first pair of guests to find it will be rewarded with a mysterious privilege."

"Now, please all guests move to the beach to play the game."

Xie Yang had no choice but to go to the kitchen to scoop up a few handfuls of water and wash her face.

"You're actually bare-faced?"

Jiang Tuo saw her enter the kitchen and thought she was going to get a water cup, so he followed her in; he didn't expect her to be washing her face. He leaned in close to look at her face in surprise, "You didn't even put on sunscreen, did you?"

The original owner indeed didn't use sunscreen; her skin seemed unable to tan.

During freshman military training, other classmates tanned to some degree even if they used sunscreen, but only she got whiter the more she was exposed to the sun; no one knew the reason for that.

Plus, Xie Danni always loved to mock her plain appearance, and whenever she saw her holding skincare or makeup products, she would sneer, "Ugly people make a lot of trouble."

So after going on the show, the original owner would either get up half an hour early to put on makeup or find a place with no one around to secretly hide and touch up her makeup.

To save time, she often skipped even sunscreen.

Half an hour ago, she was hiding in the public restroom next to the Yangguang Canting preparing to put on makeup when she was caught by Xie Danni, who took the opportunity to insult and scold her.

She didn't even know where her makeup bag had been thrown by her.

Xie Yang lowered her eyes to wash her face clean, pulled out a tissue to wipe it casually, and walked out: "Stop dawdling, let's hurry to the beach."

Jiang Tuo: "..."

Who is the one dawdling? He was the one waiting for her... wait! Why was he waiting for her?

But there was no time to think right now; Jiang Tuo's limbs reacted faster than his brain—

"Hey, Xie Yang, wait for me—"

The other guests were already on the beach; seeing Jiang Tuo chasing after Xie Yang, different people had different reactions.

The one with the greatest emotional fluctuation was undoubtedly Xie Danni.

She had spent several Props just to get Jiang Tuo's Favorability Value toward her up to the passing line—60; what did Xie Yang rely on to make him chase after her?

【Ah! Finally waiting for the live stream! First!】

【I'm here to see my goddess again!】

【My husbands are so handsome! Looking at this setup, are they going to play a game next? Deciding the partner for the first official date?】

【Who is that running over there? Their skin is so good! Glowing white under the sun!】

【Are you serious, person above? The fifth female guest is the ugliest one.】

【I didn't say she was pretty, I was just complimenting her skin.】

【The fifth female guest is a non-celebrity, right? Haven't seen her before. She looks average and isn't famous, yet she gets to be on the same show as my male and female idols. Either her family is loaded or she has connections in the production team.】

Fans of the show and fans of various artists poured into the live stream room one after another, arguing heatedly over the point of "why such a mediocre non-celebrity deserves to be on a Love Variety Show," with the barrage comments almost covering the entire screen.

In the Observation Room, four Love Observers—three women and one man—were already in position. Seeing Xie Yang with a completely bare face, the three female Love Observers were quite shocked:

"Is she really bare-faced? She didn't even apply lip tint or lipstick? So bold? Would the director agree? Would the stylist agree?"

"Looking at the director's expression, it seems he didn't expect her to appear completely bare-faced either, but the live stream has already started; it's impossible to call a pause just for her."

"I remember the fifth female guest's performance in the first few days was mediocre, neither impressive nor outstanding. The few shots that caught her were even a bit gloomy. The comments about her online probably won't be very friendly. Could it be that she's given up on herself and is just letting go?"
