Chapter 262: Chapter 241: How About I Make Up the Questions?

After Ji Xizhi answered two more questions and encountered Zhu Xiu’an receiving another punishment.

Director Wang, watching from the surveillance monitor, also felt something was off.

But he couldn’t figure out exactly what was wrong.

The storyline had been smooth all along, and the program’s planned narrative had not been disrupted. It’s just that the recording time seemed to be a bit longer than anticipated?

When they planned this segment, they borrowed the characteristic of the forest being easy to get lost in.

The program team deliberately chose black-clad individuals with similar builds and faces fully covered, to give the guests the illusion that they were moving forward and about to find their way out.

In reality, the guests weren’t moving forward at all; they were just wandering in circles within the forest.

The black-clad individuals provided clues to the guests. Once the guests finished answering questions, they would collectively retreat to another spot, set up the mini boards again, and continue to trick the next guests.

Of course, the directions given to guests who answered correctly were all false.

The program team intended for all guests to wander aimlessly in the forest and punished them fiercely with mini-games.

Director Wang anticipated that Ji Xizhi wouldn’t be easily punished.

But watching Ji Xizhi earnestly answering questions one by one still seemed odd.

Where was the odd feeling coming from?

Director Wang frowned and continued watching Ji Xizhi’s live stream.

In the live stream, Ji Xizhi encountered another group of black-clad clue givers.

The black-clad individuals responsible for the questions were mobile. Other guests were doing punishments while answering questions, so encountering the same black-clad person wasn’t common.

But with Ji Xizhi, the probability was high.

The black-clad person deflated instantly upon seeing Ji Xizhi.

[From the look in the black-clad person’s eyes, I can tell he seems exhausted?]

[Looking at this black-clad person, he feels familiar. Isn’t he the one Ji Xizhi met first and third, and even previously twice?]

[Oh my gosh, he really is! I feel like I’ve seen him again!]

[Even the PD showed mercy and gave the black-clad person a close-up of his eyes! Imagine that!]

[Wait, I suddenly understand why Zhi Zhi and they can’t get out—The program team is using the black-clad people to confuse them, sending them in the wrong direction!]

[Ahhh Zhi Zhi, hurry and realize what’s happening!]

Because of a shot from the PD, viewers quickly deduced the program team’s plot in the live stream.

Many people in the live stream’s chat were urging everyone to notice, with some taking the chance to mock Ji Xizhi.

[Can’t see this obvious glitch? I noticed Ji Xizhi was carefully remembering the path upon entering the forest, but who would have thought…]

[Apparently, Ji Xizhi isn’t as brilliant as you all think~]

Intellectuals who saw these comments ignored them outright, focusing entirely on answering questions alongside Ji Xizhi.

In the village, the black-clad person faced Ji Xizhi for the Nth time, shocked.

After finishing his script, he started digging through his pile of question cards.

When the program team created this segment, they didn’t expect guests to spend several hours in the forest, so they didn’t prepare many question cards—just a few for each person, not likely to repeat.

To make matters worse, this particular black-clad person had drawn an unlucky hand, encountering Ji Xizhi too often, now suddenly finding his cards insufficient.

Ji Xizhi answered all the question cards he had!!!

The black-clad person’s hand trembled: Starting to panic.jpg

Ji Xizhi, Le Qiqi, and Fang Zhuyue stood waiting before the black-clad person for a long time without a new question.

Le Qiqi couldn’t help but ask, “Not done picking yet? What is your program team planning, to make it so hard for Ji Xizhi? Do you even care!”

Fang Zhuyue angrily followed with, “Exactly! Director Wang, have some decency!”

Ji Xizhi’s live stream fans even joined in with comments.

[Heartless Uncle Wang, you, you, you… wake up early every day!]

[Hah, what kind of curse is that, making him get up early along with fifty pull-ups and fifty push-ups!]

The black-clad person faced Le Qiqi and Fang Zhuyue’s accusations directly, sweating anxiously.

Picking their original questions wouldn’t make sense since Ji Xizhi had answered them all, but not asking any wouldn’t make sense either.

While he hesitated.

Ji Xizhi noticed his dilemma.

She proactively asked,

“Are you running out of question cards? Need help?”

The black-clad person’s eyes lit up at these words, but upon seeing Ji Xizhi, he froze again.

The black-clad person: “?”

Ji Xizhi: “If you’re out of question cards, I can help come up with more, and we can even expand the range of questions.”

Considering the questions she’d encountered earlier, their variety was still somewhat limited. She could certainly add more.

The black-clad person: “???” What is she saying?!

Seeing no reaction from the black-clad person, Ji Xizhi jokingly predicted: “If there are a few more rounds, not just you; your colleagues will likely run out of questions too. I can help all of you.”

[Pfft! Hahaha Zhi Zhi is too funny, running out of questions? How about I start writing them then!] For more chapters visit noveⅼfire.net

[Silly dog: Don’t come over here!!!]

[Wait! A few more rounds??? I think I understand something, is Zhi Zhi really…]

Ji Xizhi proactively offered help in front of the camera.

Outside the camera, Director Wang finally understood the slight unease he felt earlier.

Ji Xizhi was offering to create question cards for the program team, worried they might run out?

Had she known all along that the program team was deliberately leading them in circles in the forest?!

Upon realizing, Director Wang’s heart started pounding.

After considering a while longer, he couldn’t understand why, if Ji Xizhi already knew about the misdirection, she hadn’t just left.

The black-clad person in the forest gradually picked up on Ji Xizhi’s intention and hesitantly asked, “Teacher Ji, have you known all along our clues were incorrect?”

Ji Xizhi calmly replied, “Yes.”

Le Qiqi/Fang Zhuyue looked baffled: “?” What? What’s going on?

The black-clad person gave a look of helplessness: “Then why don’t you leave, Teacher Ji!”

Ji Xizhi pondered for a moment and earnestly stated, “We must follow the program’s rules.”

“Besides, the questions are well-crafted, and the morning exercise is worthwhile.”

[Ji Xizhi genuinely following program rules hahaha I’d call this the funniest joke of the year!]

[The latter is the highlight: good questions, good exercise—in short, everything is good; give the program planners an extra drumstick today~]

[So Zhi Zhi knew the program’s trick all along, deliberately not leaving to stay and answer questions?]

[It’s really strange, earlier Ji Xizhi defied the program’s tricks, which I found hilarious. Now that she’s not defying them, following along with the planned storyline, I find it even funnier?]
