Chapter 87: Love Variety Show Strategy System (5)
In the Observation Room, the four observers were laughing so hard they were swaying, and at this moment, no one cared about their on-screen image.
"Oh my, my stomach hurts from laughing. Xie Yang isn't a 'game black hole' at all; she's clearly a game god. Pfft, hahaha..."
"I can't laugh anymore, I really can't. My crow's feet are coming out, but I just can't help it... Hahahaha..."
"Look at the director's hopeless expression. Any ambiguous game, once it reaches Xie Yang, turns into a competitive sport."
"The program's runtime has once again been shortened by Xie Yang single-handedly."
"Hahahaha... The director is about to be angered to tears..."
The director was indeed about to be angered to tears.
If every game segment were finished in a few seconds like Xie Yang's, would there even be enough footage to edit?
Before, the problem was not knowing who to cut; now, the problem is not knowing who to add.
Because apart from Xie Yang, the other female guests either hadn't started yet or had only spun around once or twice, leaving absolutely no content to edit.
The anticipated ambiguous scenes—"the female guest spins ten times, then stumbles dizzyingly into the male guest's arms," or "the female guest picks up a pillow but falls onto the male guest before she can even swing it"—none of them happened.
No, they didn't even have time to happen!
"Director, should the next round of the game proceed as planned?"
The assistant director asked, struggling to hold back laughter.
The staff members were also laughing until they collapsed, but in front of the director, they didn't dare laugh out loud.
Who didn't know that the director was the most frustrated person right now?
A game segment that took two hours to plan was finished by Xie Yang in a few minutes; a world where only the director was hurt had been achieved.
"Proceed!" The director squeezed a few words through his teeth. "I don't believe she can finish the next game this quickly!"
The last game planned for today was beach wrestling.
It wasn't same-sex wrestling, but rather male and female guests forming teams to compete against each other.
But considering the differences in physique and strength between men and women, the rules the director gave were:
For male guests, while standing, any part of the body other than the feet touching the sand counted as a loss.
As for the female guests, they only lost if they were lying flat on their backs on the sand.
"Like the first round, the one with the shortest time gets 1 point."
After announcing the rules, the director gripped the megaphone, glanced toward Xie Yang, and added pointedly: "This is a Love Variety Show; winning or losing isn't the most important thing."
Xie Yang didn't get the intention behind the director's words; she even thought the director was saying it to the other female guests.
Because when the second round of the game ended, Xie Danni had glared at her fiercely—obviously, she couldn't handle losing.
She looked toward Xie Danni on her left.
Xie Danni was clearly not listening to the director; her heart and mind were focused on the male guest opposite her—Zhou Hanqing.
Zhou Hanqing was the one among the five male guests who currently had the lowest Favorability Value toward her; after three days, it was only 50, not even a passing grade.
And that was only the result after she had used a Prop on him; before using the Prop, it seemed to be only 10 points.
Xie Danni couldn't understand how there could be a man so difficult to conquer.
Fortunately, this beach wrestling game was enough to allow for physical contact between the male and female guests.
She had enough confidence in her figure and appearance; she didn't believe Zhou Hanqing could remain cold and distant after physical contact.
She didn't expect his Favorability Value to rise to 90 like Lu Ming's, but 70 or 80 should be no problem, right?
It was a pity that her Resentment Value was currently insufficient to open the Item Mall, otherwise, she would have made him obedient to her today.
Xie Danni had an idea and gave Zhou Hanqing a sweet smile: "I hope Teacher Zhou will show mercy."
"Teacher Fu, show mercy!"
Almost simultaneously, Lin Xiaoning, to Xie Yang's right, also playfully cupped her hands toward the male guest Fu Yichen.
Xie Yang withdrew her gaze and looked at the male guest opposite her.
Should she also say something like that?
Standing opposite her was Lu Ming, the man who had been conquered by Xie Danni to the point of being completely obedient.
Before Xie Yang could speak, Lu Ming sneered and dropped a line: "I won't show you any special tenderness."
Xie Yang raised an eyebrow: "Coincidentally, neither will I."
"..."
Before Lu Ming could react to what that meant, the world spun around; he was flipped over by Xie Yang's shoulder throw and pinned to the sand in the exact posture a criminal is in when arrested by a police officer.
This posture was so ugly it made him want to cry.
"Xie Yang!!! You did that on purpose, didn't you!"
The Main System couldn't bear to watch: 【Host, this is...】
Xie Yang calmly released Lu Ming's pinned arm, smoothed her hair, and smiled indifferently: A Grappling Technique learned in the Tycoon Plane, just brushing up on old knowledge.
【...】
This round of the game ended even faster than the second.
The other guests hadn't even started yet, but Xie Yang's side had already announced the end, once again taking first place in the single round and earning 1 point.
The other four pairs of male and female guests: "..."
Xie Danni almost bit through her newly done porcelain teeth.
Xie! Yang!
It was bad enough that her Resentment Value had dropped to the point where she couldn't collect it, but why did she have to ruin her good deed too!
【My Sister Xie is too cool, please accept my kowtow!】
【Is female guest No. 5 a martial arts champion from some year? Too awesome!】
【That shoulder throw was indeed smooth and fluid.】
【When she landed, she even pinned the other person's arms behind their back, just like a cop arresting a criminal; I'm dying of laughter!】
【Was the female guest No. 5 this interesting before? She's captured all my attention today.】
【I can't even remember what she was doing in the games the past few days, I have absolutely no impression of it.】
【I can only say she's found her niche—flirting doesn't get screen time, so it's better to be direct.】
【My favorite movie star's lifelong reputation is ruined by this Love Variety Show.】
【I'm afraid Movie Star Lu will have a phobia after this fall, right?】
【My mom saw me laughing like a lunatic and came over to ask what I was watching; I said a Love Variety Show, and after watching for a while, she asked why a Love Variety Show was being filmed like an obstacle course challenge.】
"Hahahaha..."
The four observers in the Observation Room were laughing so hard they had completely lost their composure.
"I can't take it anymore, I've laughed more today than in the past year; my crow's feet are completely out of control!"
"I really sympathize with the director, pfft hahahaha..."
"Are we being too mean, hahahaha..."
If it weren't for the live broadcast, the director would really want to redo everything.
But with the live broadcast on, the netizens who love to watch the chaos surely would have already screenshotted and spread it around...
Forget it, forget it, let's just leave it as it is for today, and see if we can edit out more footage from the other segments later.
Starting tomorrow, all games must be carefully considered, and we must avoid the areas Xie Yang excels in.
Thus, the director, feeling that life had no meaning, took a few deep breaths and announced the end of the game.
"Now, choose your mode of transportation based on your points. For guests with the same points, rock-paper-scissors will decide the order."
When Xie Yang saw the board the staff brought out, ten stickers were covering five sets of transportation options.
So it turns out the points only determine the order of selection, not the direct choice of transportation?
She had the most points and would choose first, but if her luck was bad, she could still end up with walking or a bicycle...
"Wouldn't it have been simpler to just do rock-paper-scissors from the start?" Xie Yang couldn't help but retort.
It's all down to luck anyway, isn't it?
Director: "..."
You have the nerve to say that!
Have you forgotten this is a Love Variety Show!
"Following your logic, wouldn't it be simple to decide everything by rock-paper-scissors, like tomorrow's dating partners?"
"That wouldn't be impossible."
"Shut up!"
"..."
