Chapter 2848 Deceiving Them
The host laughed and said, "We've heard about the academic superstars before."
Hearing that she is only a freshman in college but is already highly regarded by professors, what is Shi Ye's opinion of this younger sister?
In your eyes, are there any shortcomings?
Shi Ye raised his eyelids, looked at the camera, and asked, "Is the production team trying to stir up trouble?"
The host looked puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Shi Ye said helplessly, "That girl is the apple of my family's eye. She has been pampered by the whole family since she was a child, so I can't say anything bad about her."
Otherwise, life might not be so easy when I go back.
Charlene, standing nearby, smiled knowingly.
The host couldn't help but laugh, his tone a mix of teasing and curiosity, "Really?"
Xia Lin immediately chimed in, her voice full of sincerity, "Of course it's true, Shi Yang is so lovable! Even my parents rave about her and adore her."
Sometimes they nag me, using me as a negative example!
The more the host listened, the more interested he became, and his appetite was instantly whetted even more.
Her voice rose as she said, "You've made me want to meet her in person. I wonder if there will be a chance for her to appear on the show?"
Shi Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, his tone calm but decisive: "Well, not necessarily. We'll see how things go."
Charlene quickly nodded in agreement: "That's right, it depends on her schedule."
She's so busy, spending all her time in the lab, working on papers and projects one after another.
Moreover, the professor values her highly and probably won't let her go easily.
The host, however, did not give up and said with a smile, "It's okay, we'll have the production team try to communicate with them later!"
Maybe we can actually borrow her for a few minutes!
After all, many people are looking forward to seeing you siblings together.
Shi Ye raised the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, "Then good luck to you guys."
The host nodded. "Okay, we'll try our best."
After that, we talked about a few more related topics before asking about other things.
During the question-and-answer interview, Charlene leisurely finished her breakfast.
Just then, the vehicle slowly arrived at the filming location.
When she got off the car, she saw that the other guests had already arrived.
Unlike the first episode, where everyone was a little awkward when they first met, this episode, everyone seemed much more familiar with each other.
As soon as Emily saw Charlene, she went up to her and gave her a warm hug, saying with a smile, "It's so good to see you again!"
Charlene responded with a smile, her mood bright and cheerful.
She then turned to everyone and said politely and gently, "I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you all to continue taking care of us for the next few days!"
The other guests nodded in agreement.
Someone waved their hand and said, "No problem, no problem."
Someone else chimed in, "We should look after each other!"
The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Director Kurid approached.
He first greeted everyone and then introduced this episode's guest star, causing a small stir in the audience.
Then, Director Curry clapped his hands and announced clearly and forcefully, "Are you all ready? We are officially beginning filming for this episode."
Everyone said in unison, "Ready."
This round of gameplay is somewhat different from the last round, with a much wider variety of competitive events.
Moreover, since it's located in an amusement park, points are earned by checking in.
As soon as the director spoke, he explained in detail, "Before the competition officially begins, please send one member from each group to collect the map provided by the production team."
Each map contains the same information, marking not only the locations of the projects but also some puzzles.
Each group needs to guess the correct answer before they can check in for the corresponding item.
Guessing incorrectly will deduct points, but guessing correctly will earn you basic points after experiencing the project firsthand.
The director paused for a moment, then added, "Also, please note that some of the more challenging projects have hidden points."
Therefore, everyone must be extremely careful when reading the questions.
Upon hearing this, everyone sent their main guest to fetch the map.
After retrieving it, Charlene immediately leaned over to look at it.
In addition to the illustrations of amusement park rides, the map also featured graphic puzzles and word association questions.
The questions posed by the production team were very abstract, leaving everyone completely baffled.
Emily couldn't help but complain, "Before coming here, I didn't hear that there would be an intelligence test!"
Isn't this making things difficult for people?
Leondo spoke up, "What's wrong? Do you feel like your intelligence is a fatal flaw right now?"
"Why don't you beg me, and I might consider helping you!"
His tone was full of teasing, his eyes narrowed to slits, as if he were enjoying the other person's embarrassment.
Director Curry waved the task card in his hand and reminded everyone, "This round's points are calculated based on the number of tasks completed. Helping others might mean you lose!"
"Our group will be punished then!"
Upon hearing this, everyone became alert.
Leondo shrugged, feigning helplessness as he spread his hands, saying, "Looks like I can't help you! Good luck!"
Emily crossed her arms and gave a defiant sneer, "Who wins and who loses is still uncertain."
"Just wait and see!"
The two of them started arguing back and forth, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense and funny.
The others just smiled and didn't say anything, each burying themselves in studying the puzzle, trying to gain an advantage in the competition.
Charlene was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.
As she was still in a daze, she heard Shi Ye speak softly, "Let's go."
Charlene was stunned, her eyes widening as if she hadn't heard clearly.
She instinctively asked, "Huh? Now? You've solved it?"
Upon hearing this, the others all turned to look at Shi Ye, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"No, you solved it so quickly?"
Shi Ye shook his head and said calmly, "Not yet, but standing here waiting isn't a solution."
He paused, glanced around at the surroundings, and continued, "Why don't we walk around and look at the actual objects? Maybe we can solve the mystery."
Charlene thought there was some truth to that, so she nodded.
The others also agreed.
Someone chimed in, "Yeah! Let's go together too."
"Let's go then!"
So each group immediately sprang into action, dispersing in twos and threes, their footsteps and whispers gradually fading into the distance.
After everyone had gone, Shi Ye suddenly grabbed Xia Lin's wrist and whispered, "Wait."
Before Charlene could react, he had taken her back to where she started.
Charlene was completely bewildered and asked, puzzled, "Why are you back again? Weren't we supposed to be looking for clues?"
Shi Ye, however, remained calm and composed, a confident smile playing on his lips. "Of course I'm coming back to complete the first challenge!"
I only said that to mislead them.
