Chapter 50

On the afternoon of the day before the end, the program crew did not arrange any more difficult tasks to torment people. Instead, they designed a treasure hunt.

They hid dozens of priceless souvenirs in a village that seemed to have nothing. All were bought with money rewarded by a certain tycoon, made of real materials.

Moreover, since the live streaming platform was also the boss's own, there was no profit sharing of the gifts. They could be directly withdrawn in full, so the program crew's funding was even more sufficient.

After tormenting these young masters and misses for seven days, although one souvenir toy could not be expected to extinguish their anger, it was also a gesture from the program crew.

Alright, to tell the truth, in fact it was Boss Shen who put up the money to get them to design this segment, so Shen Yue could move around a bit through the excitement of the treasure hunt before going home.

Otherwise, after Shen Yue returned home and went to school, it would be even harder to control her.

Boss Shen's secretary said that every time Boss Shen opened the live stream in recent days, he would frown. After frowning for a while, he would sigh, and then start handling business affairs. Not long after, he would glance at the tablet and frown again, and sigh again.

The secretary said he really could not stand watching this anymore, so he made the suggestion for the treasure hunt.

As an excellent secretary, one cannot just wait for the boss to arrange tasks before taking action. One must take initiative to relieve the boss's worries! This is what a good secretary should do! A secretary like him deserves a raise!

And so now, there was the program crew's design of a treasure hunt segment. Everyone was still quite interested when they heard there were treasures.

The adults all knew this was an opportunity. In this kind of game with a set number of rewards, as long as one of them got above the average number, they could appear more impressive and gain more popularity.

Some comic moments produced during the treasure hunt were also a source of traffic.

If someone failed to get a gift because of this, it would be an even bigger highlight, a chance for everyone to perform.

Li Xing felt this was finally a segment he could showcase himself in. He used to be the variety show king, just this variety show was a bit different, so he had not been able to demonstrate his skills. The previous days were all about working, earning money, surviving. The design of today's segment was a bit more like a normal variety show.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but Shen Yue was still thinking about the plot of the novel she just read. She could not understand at all how, in just tens of thousands of words, it could contain so many things at once, even more exciting than the daily life of her fellow inmates.

After so many days, the audience and director more or less understood what was in Shen Yue's empty head.

Everyday water, occasionally drained.

From the pure foolishness emanating from her eyes, the audience already understood. 【I bet all of the director's hair that this girl definitely wasn't listening.】

【Director: Are you kidding me?】

【Right now my sister Yue's eyes show five parts mockery, three parts chill, two parts arrogance. I guess she is still thinking about the novel she just read.】

【Hahahaha, just now I zoomed in on the livestream to the max, and reconstructed the image, and discovered my sister Yue was reading "My Life, All For You"! 】

【Ahhhhh don't read that!】

【Nonsense, it's the best book ever, everyone go read it, who doesn't trust my sister Yue's taste?】 【I'm tearing up my umbrella! Ruin it! Make it stink!】

In just the short time Shen Yue spaced out, the director's team had already started drawing lots.

For this treasure hunt, under normal circumstances it would be pairs, but that would leave one person by themselves.

The program team originally thought they would just let that one person go alone, but then they reconsidered. If that person alone was Shen Yue, she would 100% go back and lay down again, and that would defeat the purpose of this treasure hunt.

To prevent this from happening, the program team decided it was better to have one group of three.

And the choice of who would team up with Shen Yue also had to be careful. They needed to pick someone who wouldn't indulge her and could get her to move around.

First of all, Zou Xuezheng, Dong Nuo, and Li Xing were eliminated. Shen Yue simply wouldn't pay them any attention, and it was possible she would just give up without even going to search for treasure.

As for Shen Shuangyi, he wouldn't work either.

These days Shen Shuangyi wished he could carry meals to Shen Yue's bed and feed her himself. Later during the treasure hunt, if Shen Yue said she was tired, he would definitely just pick her up and take her away. That wouldn't do.

As for Jiang Shiwen, he was possible, but not recommended.

He had a kind of inexplicable worship of Shen Yue. Shen Yue could say east and he wouldn't go west, Shen Yue could say stop and he would stop walking immediately.

If these two were paired up, it could end up in a situation where if Shen Yue got tired walking and wanted to find a place on the road to sit down, Jiang Shiwen would immediately offer her a stool.

After thinking it over, only Zou Xuerong was the most reliable.

At least these days, only Zou Xuerong could wake Shen Yue up, and occasionally also take her out for a walk.

And so, through the deliberate arrangements of the program team and Shen Yue's absent-mindedness, the groupings were decided.

Shen Shuangyi and Li Xing were one group, Jiang Shiwen, Zou Xuezheng, and Dong Nuo were one group, and Shen Yue and Zou Xuerong were one group.

When the results came out, the unease in everyone's hearts was no less intense than waiting for college entrance exam results. The outcomes brought delight to some and dismay to others.

"Teacher Shen, although we had some misunderstandings these past few days, I still hope we can cooperate happily today." This was Li Xing.

"Tch, bad luck." This was Shen Shuangyi. "Shiwen, are you unhappy to be grouped with me?" This was Zou Xuezheng.

"I'm not happy! I'm extremely unhappy!! Sister Yue!!! Sister Yue, you don't have me to serve you tea today, that's fine. You have to cheer up! You definitely can't sleep on the ground anymore, Sister Yue! How will I get through today without you!! Sister Yue!! Sister Yue!!" This was Jiang Shiwen.

"......" This was Dong Nuo.

"Yueyue, let's go." This was Zou Xuerong.

Zou Xuerong was secretly delighted to have drawn Shen Yue as her partner. But upon seeing Jiang Shiwen start to freak out and Shen Erge keeping his eyes fixed on her, she hurriedly took the treasure map from the director and pulled Shen Yue to run off.

Shen Yue obediently let herself be pulled along by Zou Xuerong, extremely compliant.

Once they were outside, Zou Xuerong felt there was no longer a possibility of Jiang Shiwen pouncing over to snatch Shen Yue away, so she finally opened the treasure map in her hand and started to get her bearings.

But after looking at it for a while, Zou Xuerong's little brow gradually furrowed. She discovered she couldn't understand it!

This map was too abstract!

Shen Yue's mind was still in a blank state from being battered by the novel. It wasn't until Zou Xuerong called to her that she fully returned to her senses.

"Yueyue, can you take a look at this map? I seem to not understand it."

Shen Yue only glanced at it briefly before discovering Zou Xuerong was holding the map upside down.

She took the map from Zou Xuerong's hands and flipped it to a different orientation, then pointed to one of the main roads and said, "Here, this is the road we walked together the other day."

Zou Xuerong leaned in for a look, and immediately understood. Her eyes shone like little stars. "Yueyue, you're so amazing!"

When Zou Xuerong leaned in, the gourd that had been hanging on her chest slipped out. Shen Yue's gaze flickered when she saw it.

As she watched Zou Xuerong happily tell her where to go first, she suddenly asked, "Do you want the treasure?"

Zou Xuerong nodded. "Mm! I'm so happy to search for treasure with Yueyue!"

Shen Yue understood.

"Then let's go here first."

"Where's that?"

"Don't know."

"No problem, let's head over first! Yueyue, tell me if you get tired!"

"Mm."
