Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Why Is the Academic Atmosphere So Intense Here?!

[Why is this so funny? Ji Xizhi looks so serious while talking about the law, she’s just too cute!]

[As an intern lawyer, I have to say, Ji Xizhi is right!]

[Yes! In the past few episodes, Director Wang has been torturing the guests, but finally, someone can handle the director in this episode!]

Director Wang looked like he had been struck by lightning when he heard the illegal behavior.

He wanted to rebut, but he didn’t dare! In front of the live audience!

Zhu Xiu’an next door had a completely stunned expression.

Damn!

Usury… and he redeemed two pairs!

He turned around and came back, asking, “Wait, can I return the gloves?!!!”

Director Wang: “…”

One wasn’t enough, here comes another?!

The show’s rules are in danger!!!

Director Wang saw Ji Xizhi about to speak again, and his head immediately started throbbing.

He had a feeling that if Ji Xizhi opened her mouth again, the show’s rules might be gone.

He gritted his teeth and quickly said before Ji Xizhi could speak:

“Ji Xizhi, you win!!! Your contract stands, you don’t need to negotiate anymore!”

Ji Xizhi closed her mouth, smiled, and replied, “Thank you, Director, then I’ll go upstairs.”

Director Wang: “…” Heart attack.

Zhu Xiu’an watched Ji Xizhi handle Director Wang with such ease, and couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

But soon, he shook off that envy completely!

Zhu Xiu’an: “Director Wang, I want to return one pair of gloves!”

Director Wang: “Dream on!”

Zhu Xiu’an: “?”

Just now, it wasn’t like this!!!

The other five guests went to the cornfield to harvest corn, while Ji Xizhi leisurely returned to the second-floor room of the village chief’s house.

It was just past six o’clock, and she studied until eight when Fang Zhuyue should be back to exchange for breakfast.

Ji Xizhi made herself a cup of tea, sat down at the table, and started her new day’s review plan.

Her time for the postgraduate exams was limited. Even though she was very familiar with the course material, she still wanted everything to be perfect.

Director Wang watched the five guests reach their destination before getting up to follow Ji Xizhi to her room.

Hmph! Thinking she can escape labor by not going to harvest corn?! No way!

He had to find something for Ji Xizhi to do!

Director Wang quietly walked to Ji Xizhi’s room door, which happened to be open, and he saw Ji Xizhi engrossed in her books.

Focused, serious, her eyes seemed to have a light in them.

Director Wang was instantly struck.

!!!

This kid is studying so earnestly, how could he have the heart to disturb her!

Director Wang felt ashamed and silently went back downstairs.

The few viewers in Ji Xizhi’s live broadcast room blushed as they watched.

[As a fellow postgraduate exam candidate, I’ve been inspired so early in the morning, I’m going to start solving problems too! Bye bye]

[Isn’t she just avoiding labor by pretending to be knowledgeable! Everyone else is working hard, how come she gets special treatment and even has Fang Zhuyue help her? Shameless!]

[I turned on the TV early in the morning to see Ji Xizhi studying, and my mom walked by and scolded me, telling me to take Ji Xizhi as a role model and to follow her and learn from her!]

[Dang, my body uncontrollably got up, and I started solving problems too!]

[+1, I’m doing it too!]

The black fan’s rhetoric in the live chat was completely ignored, and a diligent and studious atmosphere spread instantly.

Before long, the live chat turned into an online Q&A forum, filled entirely with requests for help.

[Help needed: Given the equation regarding x…, what is the range of a?!]

[Looking for a major calculus problem, how to solve it using the graphical method?]

[Posted the problem-solving steps on Weibo, just search my ID, if you have any questions, ask me on Weibo!]

[Does anyone know, in classical Chinese, how to translate this sentence?!]

New viewers to the live broadcast room were bewildered: “…?”

Many viewers exited and checked the name of the live broadcast room again.

That’s right!

It’s called “Life Experience,” and the category is entertainment variety show!

But why is the academic atmosphere so strong here?!

–

Meanwhile, the other five guests were already fully geared and had arrived at the cornfield.

Ji Fengyuan is a film emperor, Qin Yutian is a rising star, and coupled with Zhong Yulu, Fang Zhuyue, and Zhu Xiu’an, the five of them practically drew all the show’s traffic to themselves.

Compared to the number of viewers in Ji Xizhi’s live stream, the ones in the cornfield combined the program’s fans with the guests’ fans, creating a bustling scene.

Zhong Yulu stood among them, looking at the majority of the show’s crew following them, she silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, when Ji Xizhi suddenly didn’t participate in the activity, she thought it was the program team trying to hype Ji Xizhi up again with some special tasks.

Looking now, most of the program’s machines are here, indicating today’s shooting focus should be in the cornfield.

So when the footage airs later, this side should receive the most screen time.

Zhong Yulu’s fluttering heart finally calmed down.

She looked at the cornfield in front of her and clenched her gloves.

This time, she must perform well!

The villagers demonstrated the method of harvesting corn cobs. The simplest way is to first cut down the corn stalks, then snap the corn off the stalks and pack it into bags to take back. The stalks can be used by households for cooking fires.

A bag of corn is worth 20 labor points, and a bundle of stalks is worth 5 points. Moreover, villagers can rate the guests’ work attitudes, with each having 5 points to gift to the best-performing guest.

The program’s rules are clear, and there are plenty of points. As long as they work hard, they can basically earn points.

After listening, Zhong Yulu was the first to suggest, “Why don’t we split it half and half, taking turns? Some cut the stalks, and others snap the corn. Then we can rotate, so no one gets too tired.”

Ji Fengyuan’s usually aloof expression slightly relaxed. He looked at Zhong Yulu and responded, “Okay, let’s go with your plan.”

[Damn! I’m done for, shipping them so hard!]

[Ahhhhh, the CEO type is so direct! No disguise at all, I’m just a sucker for it, say more!]

[Lu Lu is really quick-witted, amazing!!!]

“But there are five of us in total, how do we split it?” Zhu Xiu’an countered.

Zhong Yulu was momentarily stunned.

The viewers in the live stream were immediately reminded and started cursing Ji Xizhi.

[It’s all Ji Biao’s fault, dodging labor!!]

[I’m speechless. If you don’t want to work, why join Life Experience? Such a show-off!]

[Come on, don’t you get it? If Ji Fengyuan or Zhong Yulu weren’t here, do you think Ji Xizhi would come? Any chance to garner some fame!]

[Speechless… Ji Biao probably knew today’s task beforehand and did it on purpose! Trading a straw hut for this entire cornfield, she struck it rich!]

Beside them, Fang Zhuyue felt a bit ashamed. She raised her hand and said, “Let me try, I can do both!”

She had agreed to help Ji Xizhi with today’s task. Now that they’re short one person, Fang Zhuyue subconsciously thought of doing both sides.

Upon hearing this, the live stream’s attacks on Ji Xizhi intensified.

Zhong Yulu watched Fang Zhuyue taking a stand, opened her mouth, and was about to speak.

Next to her, Qin Yutian stepped up first, shyly saying, “It’s fine, I’ll do it. I’m a man! I also work out regularly, and since I can’t exercise on the show, this can help burn some calories.”

The word “exercise” was like a boomerang, hitting Zhu Xiu’an right in the heart.

Previously at the airport, Zhu Xiu’an couldn’t lift Ji Xizhi’s suitcase, which had been the source of laughter in the live stream for an entire day.

Now…

Zhu Xiu’an reflexively responded, “I can do it too!!!”

[Pffft-hahaha, Zhu Xiu’an: Damn it! I’m being attacked by the memories again!]

[I’m dying of laughter. How can Zhu Xiu’an be so funny? Who says he’s the king of talk? He’s clearly a comedy master!]

[Whimpering, Qin Yutian is so obedient. Little brother’s grown up! He’s a man now, ready to marry me!]

[Upstairs, wipe your drool off!!]

Zhong Yulu never expected that Ji Xizhi’s absence would lead to so many people helping.

She covered her eyes slightly and followed with a laugh, saying, “Zhuyue, you’re wearing shorts, which isn’t convenient. How about we pair up!”

The guests stood at the edge of the field, discussing how to group pairings for half an hour.

The villagers watched with speechless faces.

At this rate, by the time they finish talking, the sun will be out, and nothing will get done!

The villagers silently deducted five labor points from the five guests on the little blackboard provided by the program, penalizing them for wasting time.

[? Damn! How can they deduct points! Director Wang is too ruthless!]

[They’re too slow. I understand, once the sun rises, the work will be tough. Better finish while it’s still cool in the morning! They’re still too young!]
