Chapter 92: The Words “Don’t Touch Me” Were Written On His Back

For some reason, Guanglin had this rule that would protect the men in black even though Jiang Xun, being small and slender, didn’t seem capable of defeating them to begin with. What was going on?

Even if the men in black wouldn’t fight the participants, it wasn’t like Jiang Xun could eliminate them anyway.

And yet, for a moment, he was worried for the men in black.

“Now, let’s have all participants select their phones,” Guanglin said, “You can’t bring your own phones into the portal, so please hand them over to the program team for safekeeping. During the game, you can only use the phones provided. The number on the screensaver on your phone is the order you will depart in.”

It was like drawing lots; it all depended on one’s luck.

“You can decide who to choose first.” Guanglin didn’t care about the rest and left it all up to the guests.

“Ladies first, right?” Kangwang suggested with a grin.

“Come on, Mr.Zhang,” Yu Mingshu smiled and said, “Why is everyone only now advocating equality between men and women? I think it’s time to admit we all have double standards.”

Kangwang laughed dryly at Mingshu’s words but didn’t say anything else. She’d phrased her words in a way that insinuated he looked down on women. If someone were to willfully misinterpret her words, it wouldn’t end well.

[Does Mingshu know how to speak properly?]

[Kangwang really is a senior to them all, huh.]

“Then we’ll let today’s guests decide,” Xiangyou could only say.

“We’ll play palm up palm down to decide,” Jiang Xun agreed, “It all depends on luck.”

“Indeed,” Mufeng said.

Since he had already said so, the others all agreed.

Although Mufeng was only a special guest for this episode,everyone seemed to regard him as a leader, though perhaps it was because of the overwhelming aura of authority he gave off.

Hence, everyone formed a circle and started to play the game.

Jiang Xun casually put her hand out with her palm facing down. When she looked up, she realized that everyone else had their palms facing up.

[Hahahahaha! What’s wrong with Jiang Xun? There’s no one else with such luck!]

[What are the odds of this happening lol]

“Haha, Jiang Xun will be the last to set off,” Cheng Shi said with a smile.

Jiang Xun stared at her palms in confusion. What kind of lousy luck was this!

[Look, she’s still confused!]

[I’m dying of laughter. Why is Jiang Xun’s expression so funny?]

In the end, it was decided that Mufeng would be the first to set off, Mingshu second, Kangwang third, Xiangyou fourth, Xu Miaotong fifth, Li Ruhan sixth, and Cheng Shixiang seventh, then finally Jiang Xun.

Everyone handed in their phones and waited at the entrance to the space-time portal. The so-called ‘portal’ was actually them entering into the replica of the Republic of China.

While waiting, Jiang Xun began to do warmup exercises.

[Jiang Xun, what are you doing? Is it necessary?]

“Jiang Xun, are you warming up?” Miaotong came over and asked.

Jiang Xun nodded. “I’ve watched the previous two episodes of the program. The guests spend most of their time running, so it’s best to do a warm-up before doing so to prevent the sudden exercise from causing strain to the muscles and bones. Also, starting from a warm-up to slowly raise the heart rate makes it easier for the body to endure the physical exercise. If you don’t do anything before suddenly engaging in intense exercise, your heart rate will suddenly rise in a short period of time. It’s very dangerous.”

Jiang Xun then turned to the camera and said, “Everyone must remember that no matter what exercise you do, you have to warm up properly beforehand. Even if it’s a daily running exercise or a light jog, it’s the same. Don’t think that you can ignore the warming up just because you jog a lot.”

[Learned.]

[Thank you JJ.]

[Jiang Jiang is an awesome person who can run 100 km, so you can’t go wrong if you heed her advice.]

“Ohhhh,” Miaotong exclaimed, then followed Jiang Xun’s lead and started to warm up as well.

[ Favorability Points + 199]

“It’s not that bad, right?” Mingshu said with a smile, “The guests who participated in the previous three episodes didn’t seem to warm up either.”

“Yeah, it’ll be fine after a break,” Ruhan said. “I’ve carefully studied the previous three episodes. The important thing is to hide well and conserve your energy. Running all the time is actually the least efficient way of winning. It’s a waste of energy.”

They were female celebrities, and they didn’t want to do such ugly actions like Jiang Xun.

Especially with Mufeng around.What kind of tricks were she playing?

“I’m old already, so I can’t run.” Kangwang waved his hand dismissively. “Even just warming up is already like intense exercise to me.”

The bullet comments were all laughing. Kangwang had always been the guy who wouldn’t sit if he could lie down and not stand if he could sit.

Xiangyou scratched his head. He did not mind warming up, but he was afraid that if he did it together with Jiang Xun, his fans would be unhappy. The last thing he wanted was for them to scold her again.

At this moment, Mufeng quietly walked to Jiang Xun’s side and started warming up together.

He even asked, “Am I doing the right thing?”

“Yes,” Jiang Xun answered. She silently mocked him in her heart. Why was he pretending to be a novice?

Jiang Xun had noticed—for a long time now— that Mufeng was actually quite skilled. He wasn’t even weaker than her when she was at her peak. How could she not know how to warm up?

“Mr. Qin, please go in,” Guanglin said after waiting for Mufeng to warm up for a while.

Mufeng turned around and glanced at Jiang Xun before he went in.

[Who was President Qin looking at when he turned back?]

[It definitely wasn’t Jiang Xun. Stop dreaming.]

Since he was the first to leave, Mufeng decided to take advantage of the time he had to get a general understanding of the layout.

Although he had been given a digital map of Minguo City, he was still worried that Jiang Xun would get lost. With her terrible sense of direction, it was very likely that she wouldn’t be able to find his position on the map.

“Mingshu can set off too,” Guanglin said.

Hearing that, Mingshu immediately sprinted into the portal. When she reached the other side and saw Mufeng’s figure from afar, Mingshu was delighted and quickly called out, “Mr. Qin!”

The reason why Mufeng had slowed down was to wait for Jiang Xun, which was why Mingshu managed to catch up to him.

“Mr. Qin!” She ran over while panting. “Shall we form an alliance?”

This was a great opportunity to get along openly with Mufeng.

However, Mufeng’s eyes were cold when he looked at her. “This isn’t a team battle game. We’re not fighting against an enemy, so forming an alliance is useless. Not only that, if we worked together, with the director and cameraman following us, we’d be too much of a target. It’s safer to act alone.”

“I advise you to run as far as you can now and find a place to hide.” After Mufeng said that, he directly ran away.

[Hahahahaha! I feel like President Qin’s back has the words “Don’t Touch Me” written on it!]

[Are you asking for a slap in the face? Jiang Xun didn’t plaster herself against President Qin, but Mingshu’s intentions were written all over her face.]

[President Qin still ignored her, though.]

[To paraphrase a comment, “Why is Mingshu so shameless? Can she learn from Jiang Xun and Xu Miaotong and stay away from him?”]

After that, Mingshu had no choice but to find a place to hide.
