Chapter 230: Chapter 230: Great Show

Jiajia asked a question that echoed everyone’s thoughts.

Yeah, why do they have to rush their journey on foot, while Qiao Yi and Feng Siyu get to ride in a car?

What? You say the comedian and his mentor got a ride too? Please, everyone can see the location info, those two had walked quite a distance before Qiao Yi and Feng Siyu gave them a lift along the way.

Just as Feng Siyu was about to reveal the answer, he paused and couldn’t help but glance at Qiao Yi.

There she was again, with a smile on her face but a cold gaze directed at Jiajia, her hostility was all too evident!

The audience watching the live broadcast found this scene rather typical; Jiajia and Feng Siyu always seemed to be at odds.

Or rather, it was always Jiajia who started trouble with Feng Siyu, and he generally couldn’t be bothered with her.

But this time, Jiajia wasn’t just facing Feng Siyu; she was confronting Qiao Yi.

"Miss Jiajia, is it? Just one night and you’re spouting nonsense again, watch out or the show’s crew might get upset!"

Qiao Yi deliberately made her remarks ambiguous, which only made Jiajia more convinced of her suspicions.

Feng Siyu and this Qiao Yi must have used their connections with the directors! Otherwise why would they be allowed in a car!

The fans in Jiajia’s live stream agreed with her; they hadn’t seen the part where Feng Siyu blackmailed the director, and with Qiao Yi’s background being dug up, it seemed to solidify the fact that they were cheating!

Jiajia didn’t expect such a minor issue to impact Feng Siyu much, but seeing him embarrassed was satisfaction enough for her!

"Nice to see everyone again, how did everyone sleep last night?"

Everyone simultaneously responded to the director with a long hum.

How well they slept didn’t matter, they had run about ten kilometers first thing in the morning and were completely drained!

"Since everyone completed the first task within the set time and no one was disqualified, let me announce our first challenge, ’Spiral to the Sky’!"

’Spiral to the Sky’, as the name suggests, is a high-altitude game. Ten people in pairs are lifted about five meters into the air by wires and must use the props in their hands to knock off equipment from their opponent, with the team knocking off more items claiming victory.

"The first two rounds will each have a bye, and since Feng Siyu and Qiao Yi’s team came first in the initial challenge, they will receive the first bye."

"That’s not fair! They came by car, and Ling’s team were the first ones to arrive!"

Jiajia couldn’t hold back and blurted out, shocking everyone on-site and in the live stream, who hadn’t expected her to say something like that at this moment.

The director, initially speaking, looked displeased but still patiently re-explained, particularly emphasizing the part about Feng Siyu blackmailing him.

The director wanted to use this reality show effect to ease the awkwardness just now. However, it seemed the awkwardness hadn’t subsided when Jiajia turned and created another.

"So, they are just exploiting loopholes in the rules! Why should they get a bye then!"

Jiajia grew more agitated as she spoke, ignoring even the signals from her agent off-camera, seizing the moment to smear Feng Siyu.

"Since some feel it’s unfair, let’s decide by drawing lots who gets the bye. That way, no one can complain about there being loopholes, right?"

Qiao Yi stopped Feng Siyu who wanted to retort.

Privately, Feng Siyu could complain about anything with her, but right now, in front of the cameras, some things simply shouldn’t be done!

She could bully the crew, manipulate the directors, but she absolutely couldn’t afford a conflict with other guests as it would severely impact her image.

But she’s different, she doesn’t rely on her looks to make a living, so it doesn’t matter if her image is a bit off outside.

Qiao Yi skillfully countered all the criticisms Jiajia had prepared for Feng Siyu.

She could have explained that she was seeking fairness for everyone when she first spoke up, but if she spoke again now, the unreasonable one would be her.

Jiajia, biting her lip, returned to the team, and Qiao Yi patted Feng Siyu on the hand before stepping forward to draw lots.

Luck is also a form of strength. Watching the "bye" written on the paper in her hand, Qiao Yi’s heart was already bursting with laughter.

I wonder if this would infuriate Jiajia to death.

Jiajia was indeed about to explode with anger; although everyone was preparing the equipment for the game, she still felt countless mocking eyes on her.

Knowing this would be the result, she might as well have just let them have a bye to begin with!

The first matchup was between Jiajia and Ling, whom she had just called out.

Ling is a famous singer, and her friend who came is her partner of many years, very in sync and together they screamed as they were hoisted up.

Jiajia, hoisted up, turned pale, and if the prop wasn’t strapped to her hand, she probably would have thrown it away.

Not daring to look down, Jiajia could only look at Ling with a twisted face.

"3! 2! 1! Start!"

At the director’s command, the contest officially began.

Their weapons were plush hooks, arm-length, and their "equipment" were plush toys stuck to them with Velcro.

Maybe the height of five meters was a bit much for them to handle at the moment; all four hesitated to strike first, probing with their little hooks.

Suddenly! Jiajia’s hook darted straight for Ling’s chest.

Such an awkward spot - normal people wouldn’t attack there, but Jiajia did, and she did it straightforwardly.

"Ah! Oh my! That looks so scary!"

"Yes, I am a bit afraid of heights, can I just surrender?

A group of people watched Jiajia’s fight, discussing attack and defense techniques among themselves.

Qiao Yi watched for a while, found it boring since there was no skill involved, just chaotic play, what’s there to discuss!

Three minutes later, four exhausted people were let down, and Jiajia narrowly won by one piece of "equipment."

The subsequent matches were much the same; a naive duo had all their "equipment" stripped off at first contact, only able to cling to the safety rope and howl.

"Stop yelling, what’s a big man shouting for!"

Qiao Yi patted the naive kid on the arm, walked over to the director to draw lots to decide the team to get a bye.

Without a doubt, Qiao Yi did not draw the bye; another team took that lot.

Once this result was out, almost everyone doubted whether Qiao Yi did it on purpose!

There’s some drama to watch now, Feng Siyu versus Jiajia, a real brawl is about to unfold!
