Chapter 224: Chapter 154: Variety Show Ends (Make-up Update)

The scenes in the screen seemed to be divided into two types.

Leading guests such as Mu Mingxuan and Huo Miao were unwilling to accept that they had been live-streamed all this time, displaying expressions of collapse and frenzy.

On the other hand, Jiang Ning, Wang Ye, and a few others appeared calm and unperturbed.

Mu Mingxuan was the angriest, and he shouted the loudest.

He couldn’t believe that, despite knowing his identity, the program team dared to play him like this, to set him up!

They hadn’t revealed the slightest hint to him beforehand!

Mu Mingxuan, recalling his experiences on the desolate island, looked at Shen Zha with a murderous gaze.

If it weren’t for his hands and feet being tied with thick hemp ropes, he probably would have attacked already.

Listening to Mu Mingxuan’s angry roar and feeling the murderous intent he had towards himself, Shen Zha silently thanked Jiang Ning in his heart. He was grateful that she had tied up Mu Mingxuan in advance, sparing him a lot of trouble afterwards...

Actually, not only Mu Mingxuan, but the murderous intent in Jiang Ning’s eyes when she thought of someone was also undeniable.

She turned her head to look at the pile of trees she and Qi Xingzhou had painstakingly sawed down during this time. If she had known, why would she have dragged Qi Xingzhou to suffer with her?

Wouldn’t it have been wonderful to eat and drink well on the island?

Jiang Ning ground her teeth, and her gaze turned progressively more dangerous towards Shen Zha.

All of a sudden, Shen Zha felt a chill down his spine, and he quickly spoke up, "Thank you all for your contributions to the program over this time. Since everyone no longer wishes to continue recording, the program team respects and supports everyone’s wishes. You can find a red termination icon on your watch. Press and hold this icon, and then you will be able to leave this place."

After speaking, Shen Zha turned toward the camera, bidding farewell to the audience in the live stream, "This live broadcast ends here. After all the guests have logged off, the live room will automatically close. Thank you for watching and supporting us during this period. Starting next Tuesday, the program team will begin to update the edited version of the variety show, which will go live on Penguin Video and Orange Video at the same time. We welcome everyone to continue their support..."

[Wuu wuu wuu, it’s ending just like that.]

[Eh, actually, I’m kind of reluctant to let go, watching every day, it’s almost become a habit.]

[The program team’s method of live broadcasting is an unprecedented new trick, but it can only be used once. In the future, even if there are similar types of variety live broadcasts, the guests won’t be this clueless anymore.]

[Yeah! Unique! I would call this show the pinnacle of live broadcast variety shows!]

[Mu Mingxuan|Huo Miao|Yuan Wei|Ling Bo|Lin Qi|Huo Ziheng: Happy now? It cost us our reputations.]

[Hahahaha, suddenly hitting my funny bone, I actually want to see the expressions of Huo Miao and Yuan Wei when they return to the real world, pick up their phones, and find out that everything has collapsed into ruins. But it’s a pity; we won’t get to see that.]

[No need to watch anymore. They’ve lost their virtue as artists. Just wait for the company to terminate their contracts or freeze them out.]

Jiang Ning looked down at the watch on her wrist. After she raised her wrist and lit the screen, the watch, which previously only displayed time, had inexplicably changed its page and now showed a red icon in the middle of the screen, like those that appear when a phone is about to power off.

Jiang Ning turned her head to look at Qi Xingzhou and saw that he was experiencing the same thing.

Qi Xingzhou was looking at Jiang Ning with eyes full of longing, his expression somewhat pitiful.

He seemed to know that he was about to be separated from Jiang Ning and reached out to cling to a small piece of her clothing reluctantly.

If you ask Jiang Ning, the program team’s move was simply inhuman!

She had lived earnestly for almost half a month, only to be suddenly told that everything was fake. Who wouldn’t be angry in her shoes?

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but glare at Shen Zha again.

Shen Zha pretended not to notice Jiang Ning’s gaze and continued to smile, saying to everyone, "Didn’t you all like this watch before? Our program team has specifically communicated with our partner, and they have seen everyone’s live broadcast during this time. Thus, as the first batch of customers to test this product, the partner has agreed to give these watches to everyone for free as a little gift."

The guests all looked like they had lost their souls, showing no sign of affection for the watch at all.

If such a perverted item had not been developed, how could there be such a perverted variety show?

Ling Bo glared at the watch on his wrist, wishing he could take a knife and chop off his own hand.

[Wuu wuu wuu, such a wonderful item, and Changzhou Company is giving it away for free. Are they still short of people in the program? I want to go.]

[Aaahhhh, I really want it! After the guests log off this time, will they still be able to use this watch to enter the Virtual World? Unlimited times?]

[Damn it! I went to the Changzhou official website and couldn’t find any products related to holographic devices. I wonder when it will be available for sale!]

[Why don’t they smile when they get such wonderful things? Are they naturally averse to smiling?]

Although Mu Mingxuan’s hands and feet were tied, he was able to lower his head and move his wrists.

Of all the people, he was the most miserable one, bound by the hemp rope.

Mu Mingxuan discovered the red icon on his watch and, without hesitation, reached out and tapped it.

Without greeting anyone, Mu Mingxuan disappeared right in front of everyone.

Startled, Huo Miao bit her lip and also raised her hand to tap it, and a few seconds later, her figure also vanished from everyone’s view, as though she had never been there.

This scene was bizarre and eerie, but it really happened.

Curious, Nong Chun also tapped on it, disappearing with an expression of amazement.

Yuan Wei, Lin Qi, and Ling Bo all logged off one after another.

Jian Tian Tian was still smiling as she waved to Jiang Ning while touching the icon: "Jiang Ning, I’ll remember your kindness. After we get out, let’s hang out together! Bye!"

[Haha, great, Jian Tian Tian and Jiang Ning have become friends.]

[Not bad, at least there’s some gain.]

Wang Ye seemed to think of something. He looked up at Shen Zha, then at Jiang Ning: "All of this is VR, so the business card I gave you before must also be fake! That won’t do!"

He stepped forward: "I’ll tell you my number, and you call me the minute you get out!"

After all, Jiang Ning had just agreed to his audition request; what if she couldn’t be contacted later?

Wang Ye was especially afraid of losing a promising talent he had finally come across because of this.

[Hahahaha, it’s obvious, Director Wang really likes Jiang Ning.]

[Yes, Director Wang is very responsible for his own films. Although he never works with the same actor twice, he always tries to restore the characters in the script as much as possible when casting, taking the selection very seriously.]

"Director Wang, I remember your number," Jiang Ning interrupted Wang Ye’s words, saying, "After I get out, I’ll contact you."

Wang Ye was somewhat skeptical: "Really?"

It’s no wonder he doubted; he had given Jiang Ning several business cards before, and with a business card, who would make a point of remembering the number?

"Mmm-hmm." Jiang Ning nodded, casually mentioning a few digits: "9682."

Hearing his phone’s last four digits from Jiang Ning’s mouth, Wang Ye instantly believed her.

His face brightened with a nod: "Alright, alright, then I’ll go first. Wait for your call."

Jiang Ning nodded again, and Wang Ye quickly disappeared from her view.

After Wang Ye had gone, the only ones left were Jiang Ning, Qi Xingzhou, Shen Zha, and the program staff.

Looking down at Qi Xingzhou who had stealthily grabbed the hem of her clothing, Jiang Ning chuckled lightly: "You, where were you tricked into logging in by the program staff? Was it on a yacht?"

[Tsk, to have such a loving boyfriend and not keep him coddled in the palm of your hand.]

[Exactly, if I had such an obedient boyfriend, I would talk to him everyday with a chirpy voice.]

[Is that an exaggeration?]

[Not at all! A man who isn’t stubborn and listens, calling him one in ten thousand isn’t an overstatement!]

Shen Zha overheard Jiang Ning saying this and cleared his throat twice to make his presence felt.

Jiang Ning was being excessive, what’s this about being tricked? They produce the show with integrity, neither deceiving the audience nor the guests!

Everything was done with the guests’ willing participation.

"Although the two mysterious guests weren’t on the same yacht as you, after you all entered the Virtual Variety Show, the program staff successfully converged, and both yachts stopped at the same port," Shen Zha explained. "After you log off later, you can look for each other and meet up."

Jiang Ning nodded: "Thank you."

The program staff finally did something decent.

Although Jiang Ning didn’t know why the Qi Family would let Qi Xingzhou participate in this variety show, she was still somewhat worried about him logging off alone.

Knowing where Qi Xingzhou would be after logging off, Jiang Ning felt much more at ease.

She patted Qi Xingzhou: "Did you hear that? After you get out, just wait for me on the yacht, I’ll come to you."

Qi Xingzhou understood, and he nodded seriously and earnestly, his eyes shining brightly as if stars had fallen into them.

Knowing they would meet again soon, he was already bubbling with joy inside, filled with tiny sparkling bubbles～(≧∀≦)ººººº
