Chapter 265: Chapter 244: Why Can’t a Superstar Pick Up Trash?

The program group’s first special product climbed to the top of trending topics.

Many netizens rushed to the livestream to admire the ridiculous chandelier.

After being rejected by Bai Zhe, Zhu Xiu’an lowered his head to look at the chandelier in his arms again.

This was something he obtained after overcoming numerous obstacles, enduring many punishments, and even being pecked by a big white goose.

This is the fruit of victory! It was snatched before Ji Xizhi, and he beat Bai Zhe for it!

After a round of self-hypnosis, Zhu Xiu’an still held the lamp high, forcing a boastful expression at the camera.

“Anyway, I was the one who got it in the end, I won!”

Other guests: “…”

[No need to be like this, really no need! Silly dog, return the dollar to the program group, come on, we don’t want this lamp!]

[Who’s stubbornly holding on? It’s Zhu Xiu’an, hahaha~]

[Everyone, don’t be like this. Think positively, my mom is complimenting Zhu Xiu’an’s good taste right now~]

[An unexpected popularity is unlocked? Zhu Xiu’an’s long-standing wish in the industry came true overnight!]

Zhong Yulu passed through the forest in a daze all morning, and she’s been disconnected from reality until now.

Only now, looking at the cheap chandelier in Zhu Xiu’an’s arms, does she start to come back to her senses.

Zhu Xiu’an drew the renovation for her room, which means this despised item, even Ji Xizhi wouldn’t take it, will be installed in her room.

The struggle and confusion Zhong Yulu felt all night suddenly became clear at this moment.

She is the protagonist of this story; why should she use something even Ji Xizhi wouldn’t want? All of this should be hers.

Zhong Yulu looked at Ji Xizhi, while slowly making her final decision in her heart.

After Zhu Xiu’an finished showing off, Sheng Yaoyao remembered that Zhu Xiu’an drew the lot to renovate Zhong Yulu’s place.

She turned to Zhong Yulu, ready to console her that Xiao Yue might not use this lamp.

But as she was about to speak, she saw Zhong Yulu giving Ji Xizhi a look of apparent resentment.

Currently, all attention on site was focused on Zhu Xiu’an, and livestream viewers were similarly engaged, leaving Zhong Yulu in the background unnoticed.

Sheng Yaoyao noticed her because she wanted to actively console her.

In that instant, Sheng Yaoyao was momentarily stunned, and subsequently, the comforting words failed her.

The program group set the supermarket lamp rush event to start from 4:30 a.m., and now it’s nearly 9 a.m., with the sun shining bright.

According to the original plan, this event should have ended by 7 a.m. at the latest.

But now it dragged on till 9 a.m.

Director Wang sat in front of the monitor, looking up at the bright sky, feeling numb and stiff.

Though the recording must carry on.

The third episode’s theme is about designing the dream house, with the main task for all guests being to earn money.

Today’s task for the nine guests is earning money near Xianyu Village.

In recent years, the government has been vigorously developing tourism here, making Xianyu Village and the nearby coastal villages lively.

Especially lately, as the weather warms, more tourists come here to see the sea.

The task for the nine guests is to earn money without being recognized by the tourists. The rightful source is ⓝovelFire.net

If no tourist recognizes the guest, all money earned today, excluding cost price, will be the guest’s profit.

If a tourist recognizes a guest, all earnings will be donated to marine waste charity, and the recognized guest must work another free day.

Simply put, if a guest starts earning money at 9 a.m., but is recognized at 9:10 a.m., they will neither earn money nor get any experience, continuing their job for free.

The positions assigned to guests were those currently held by local villagers in Xianyu Village.

The government’s push on tourism also brought many job opportunities for villagers, who mainly run stalls along the coastal commercial streets.

Common stalls include selling fish, boat tickets, fishing gear, and various food stands.

Guests draw lots to choose stalls to manage.

The program group prepared simple paper balls, each containing different stall names.

Each of the nine guests draws one out and unfolds it.

Ji Xizhi unfolds hers the quickest; the camera follows her slender, jade-like fingers to reveal the paper ball, which had only four words.

Garbage collection duty.

[I don’t care if she picks up garbage, my attention is all caught by Ji Xizhi’s hands, how can her hands look so beautiful~]

[Such beautiful hands, and you make her pick up garbage? Uncle Wang is at it again!]

Zhu Xiu’an was standing next to Ji Xizhi, his own paper ball still unopened, but he leaned over to see Ji Xizhi’s ball first.

Upon seeing hers, he slapped his thigh and laughed.

“Haha, garbage collection! You have to collect garbage! A famous superstar has to collect garbage!”

Zhu Xiu’an laughed until he almost cried.

But then, his own paper ball unfolded.

It read: Fish gutting stall.

Zhu Xiu’an’s laughter stopped: “?”

By chance, Ji Xizhi was still responding: “Why can’t a superstar pick up garbage? Environmental protection is everyone’s responsibility.”

Zhu Xiu’an went from joy to sorrow in a second, tearfully saying, “Yes, why can’t superstars pick up garbage? Superstars have to gut fish too!!!”

[Thought picking up garbage was the worst, but surprise, there’s fish gutting hahahaha!]

[Feeling smug, Zhu Xiu’an? Served right!]

[I admit Ji Xizhi is a superstar, but Zhu Xiu’an, are you really?]

Livestream fans brutally teased.

Looking at the program group’s picture of the fish-gutting stall, with its bloody chopping board, Zhu Xiu’an’s skin started to crawl.

He remembered the previous episode, Ji Xizhi making fish soup for Qin Yutian, and couldn’t help whining.

“Zhi Zhi, last time you made fish soup for Qin Yutian, to be fair, how about we swap this time?”

[Qin Yutian: Don’t use me as an excuse!!!]

Upon hearing this, even before Ji Xizhi could reply.

Director Wang interrupted Zhu Xiu’an’s idea first.

Director Wang roared, “No way! No swapping allowed!”

Given Ji Xizhi’s proficient fish handling in the last episode, how much would she earn today? She could earn a week’s worth in a day, then relax the remaining six days!

Director Wang strictly forbids this.

Director Wang sternly refused, even if Ji Xizhi wanted to help, she couldn’t.

Ultimately, the nine program group guests drew stalls as follows:

Guan Fengyan and You Yingmeng drew stalls to sell boat tickets; Bai Zhe and Zhu Xiu’an, perhaps rivals, both drew fish-selling stalls; Zhong Yulu drew the net-weaving stall, Sheng Yaoyao drew the shell necklace stall, while Le Qiqi and Fang Zhuyue drew food stands, one for fried noodles and the other for frying starch sausage.

Livestream fans saw these positions, reaching peak excitement.

[Bai Zhe gutting fish? Who can imagine? I recall Bai Xing, and the emoji of Bai Xing holding fish entrails is still on my phone, one stunt after another!]

[Director Wang knows what we want to watch, sexy lady frying noodles online, she probably never imagined she’d be frying! Noodles!]

[Concealing identity is trivial, but I feel these stalls handled by them (except Ji Xizhi’s) won’t last a day without going bankrupt haha, I lightly bet Zhu Xiu’an and Bai Zhe will be first to reveal their identity!]

[Then I must bet on the lady! Give the lady’s noodle stall some respect!]

Ji Xizhi’s garbage collection duty was the simplest among the tasks, only needed to periodically gather leftover trash from the beach, albeit earning the least money.

Ji Xizhi herself was quite satisfied with this task.
