I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 198 - 192 You’re Not Going to Invite Me for a Prison Meal, Are You?

Chapter 198: Chapter 192 You’re Not Going to Invite Me for a Prison Meal, Are You?

Zheng He felt a chill in his heart after hearing Fang Shihui’s words.

Qian Yue still said to come as a guest?

Bullshit! They were just sold to this program to work their asses off, and incidentally provide some fresh content for the show!

If you can’t finish the work, you can’t even eat! This is totally sick!

How is this any different from being a slave in the new society?!

Luckily, he had money. If he really couldn’t finish later and didn’t get any Gold Coins, he could still buy something to eat with his own money... No! Once the money is taken out, he has to invite everyone to eat together, after all, all five celebrities need to share alike, missing one would offend someone.

With five extra mouths, it might be better if everyone just starved together!

Zheng He moved closer to Fang Shihui and whispered ingratiatingly: "Don’t worry, if we really can’t finish the task later, the fruits and cakes we brought can be eaten freely!"

Already tormented by the show’s schemes to the point of defenselessness, Fang Shihui glanced at him:"You think too simply of the production team."

As soon as Fang Shihui finished speaking, the staff of the challenge reality show came over and took away the flowers, cakes, and fruit baskets that Han Qianyi and Zheng He had brought.

The host smirked and said, "Once today’s challenge tasks are all completed, these items will be returned to you!"

Zheng He: "!!!"

Guan Yingying spoke despondently, "So you’re not giving us any hope, huh?"

The host smiled slightly: "Only by constantly working do you have hope!"

Guests: What a huge bowl of poisonous chicken soup!

After the host announced the challenge tasks, all the guests followed the host’s gaze.

Behind them at an angle was a huge warehouse, and in front of the warehouse were parked several trucks with their rear doors wide open, everyone could instantly see the trucks were loaded with tons of courier packages.

Zheng He incredulously said, "Do we have to move all these express packages into the warehouse within three hours? Are you sure this program isn’t trying to kill us?"

Chen Xixi, unusually aligning with Zheng He momentarily, clicked her tongue twice and shook her head: "Even the donkeys in the production team don’t have such pressure, and old oxen in the fields need to be fed before they can work. We’re even worse off than livestock."

The guests of the budget-saving reality show hadn’t even had a chance to have lunch before being dragged here, and the guests of the challenge reality show typically record the program until midnight, so they usually start recording from noon.

This means, the star guests of the challenge reality show had just woken up not long ago and haven’t even had their first meal of the day before they had to start working.

[One of my working-class friends is kind of breaking down, suggesting Chen Xixi should retract that statement. Of course, I’m not talking about myself, I really do have a friend.]

[Cows moo, horses neigh, and the cry of cows and horses is: Okay, received.]

[Moreover, in the countryside, cows and donkeys only work one month a year, only working during the farming month, and at other times they are well cared for, even being taken out for walks to relax, fearing they might get uncomfortable and die, unable to work.]

[No work: I feel like I’m going to die. Having work: How am I not dead yet.]

[My corpse is feeling a bit uncomfortable right now, I hope Chen Xixi hurries up and coddles me.]

Host: "Our program’s purpose is to challenge the impossible!"

Fine, for the Gold Coins, for the supplies, they will just reluctantly take on the challenge then.

Every truck has a sign next to it with the guest’s name, representing the goods each guest needs to transport. Whoever manages to transport all the goods in the truck within three hours will get a Gold Coin.

The production team was somewhat considerate, not letting the guests move everything by hand; they provided carts specially for transporting the parcels to the warehouse.

This made things much easier.

You just need to load the parcels onto the carts and get them organized in the warehouse according to areas.

Zheng He walked into the warehouse, puzzled, "Isn’t there a conveyor belt? Can’t we just drive the truck over and dump the parcels on the conveyor belt for sorting and storage?"

The host crossed his arms and lifted his chin pompously, "Then why would we need you for this challenge if it was that easy?"

Zheng He frowned and said, "But isn’t this just making work for the sake of it? There’s machinery we could use instead of making us do all the labor."

"You think the viewers are here to watch machines work, or to watch you guys sweat it out? If it was all done by machines, what would be the spectacle in that, and what’s the challenge!"

[This production team is just too cruel!]

[Compared to challenge-based reality shows, I suddenly feel like budget-saving reality shows aren’t so bad! At least they don’t need to do labor, and working is even against the rules, so from that standpoint, budget-saving reality shows are practically like Immortal reality shows!]

[Oh my! What kind of lives do these big stars live every day!]

[Looking at how our brother Xingze is getting leaner from exhaustion, my heart aches for him~ Boo hoo hoo.]

[Are you even a real fan? Jiang Xingze just got weighed at the pig farm yesterday and he’s five pounds heavier than before the show!]

Zheng He had nothing left to say, absolutely nothing, it seems he could only follow the show’s plan.

His clever tricks didn’t seem applicable ... or maybe ...

Zheng He walked towards the trucks, after wandering around all the trucks, he suddenly noticed something.

That was the parcels in the female guests’ compartments were generally small, with a few medium-sized parcels.

While the parcels in the male guests’ compartments were medium to large.

The purpose of this allocation was too obvious.

Large parcels are difficult to handle, definitely heavier, so they’re assigned to the guys, even though smaller parcels can be heavy, their size limits them, so they can’t be too heavy.

Zheng He, eyes flickering, walked over to the standee with his name, picked it up, and went to Chen Xixi with a smile, "Though the parcels in your compartment look small, there are many of them. How about we swap? I checked mine, and there are fewer goods, you go work in my compartment!"

Chen Xixi just silently watched his act, without saying a word.

She had just reported him for a loss of twenty thousand in the morning, plus all the past grievances, could he really be so kind-hearted?

Seeing Chen Xixi not responding, Zheng He continued with a smile, "Don’t think I have any ill intentions; what you said to me at noon today really hit home, telling me not to engage in illegal activities, and I was deeply moved!

The only people in this world who could persuade me to follow the right path besides my parents are true friends! I really misjudged you before! You must see me as a friend to advise me not to stray, but it’s not too late. From now on in this show, I’ve got your back, don’t worry, if I have something to eat, I’ll make sure you won’t go hungry!"

As long as there’s something for him to eat, she won’t go hungry?

Chen Xixi looked at Zheng He warily, slowly saying, "You’re not planning to invite me to ’prison food’, are you?"

Zheng He: "..." Why does a good woman have such a sharp tongue?
