No script, no manipulation whatsoever.
Itâs entirely dependent on their own abilities.
The audience in the live stream doesnât watch every guestâs video; they stay focused on one guestâs live stream, so they donât see whatâs happening in other guestsâ streams.
Unless a netizen finds a video meaningful, records it, and uploads it online, turning it into a hot topic.
This time, the most popular from the tourism challenge are, of course, Mr. Luo and Luo Youyou, the sibling duo.
Because they can easily jump onto trees and then climb the mountain to check in at the fastest speed, not only are they the fastest, but they also have more check-in locations.
Because they only have a few hours, they explore based on their own leisure. Apart from playing in water, where they can take a cable car, the rest relies entirely on foot.
After walking a lot, they need rest, which can cause delays.
This is how the first group of guests made the most check-ins at the fastest speed.
The second groupâs check-ins were almost the same, but their speed wasnât fast enough, so they ranked second.
The third and fourth groups didnât complete all check-ins, and their return was the slowest.
Not only did the director announce their rankings, but there was also an online vote.
Initiating interactions from fans.
Although online voting might not be completely fair, with the previously released videos from the director, without announced rankings, online voting was just to decide this episodeâs first, second, third, and fourth gifts distribution after lunch.
Luo Youyou and Mr. Luo truly deserved first place, winning them a luxurious lunch.
This luxurious lunch wasnât at a snack bar, but at a hotel.
They didnât initially stay here, so they didnât stay in the hotel or a villa here.
The second prize was a dining hall meal at the hotel, considered a good reward.
The third prize was a grand meal at a major restaurant in the tourist spot.
The fourth was a signature dish meal at a regular restaurant.
These meals had a set amount; the two of them couldnât eat much, so the fixed reward allowed them to order what they liked.
Luo Youyou and Mr. Luo were in a private room in the hotel, possibly the best hospitality, as a result of their efforts.
They were still live streaming while eating.
Having a meal in the private room cost a little over 1,000; compared to other big cities and some other tourist spot hotels, it was much cheaper.
This also showed netizens that even ordinary wage earners can afford to spend on tourism here.
Donât even mention the bosses.
Some companies or private business owners may offer travel perks for their senior staff.
Itâs just that ordinary and senior employees receive different treatments.
Luo Youyou and Mr. Luo introduced the prices of dishes while ordering, having soup, meat, signature dishes, and seafood.
A meal cost just over 1,000, which they found very cheap.
Whether itâs the cooking method or the ingredients?
The ingredients come from local items in the countryside.
Only seafood is transported from other places.
Chickens, ducks, and geese are likely raised on local farms.
Whatâs served in the hotel naturally uses the best ingredients.
Eating in the store itself, the better environment and hygiene make it look a bit more expensive, but they didnât mind the little extra cost.
Salt-baked chicken is not a first-time experience here, and when ordering salt-baked chicken, the chicken is describedâits weight and price.
Thereâs much to consider about the chicken, like its quality.
Is it Qingyuan Chicken, or some other broiler chicken?
Or is it free-range farm chicken or mountain-grazing chicken?
The ducks and geese are the same, fed on feed or grains?
Quality varies too.
As for seafood, itâs not cheap here due to transportation costs.
Seafood might be cheaper at the seaside, or you might even find it yourself.
People away from the sea struggle to enjoy cost-free seafood.
While tasting the food, Luo Youyou and Mr. Luo also discussed the quality of the dishes, turning the experience into a food broadcast.
Their drinks or beverages were supplied by sponsors and signed off by the director, with other items being the same.
The private room hosted just the two siblings, served tea by the waiter, though they didnât drink it, following the programâs plan to have beverages or arranged wines.
They followed the programâs arrangement because thereâs investment involved, and apart from getting paid, they also receive gifts if they win.
Lai Chuanyu and Liang Sisi dined at a table next to the hotel lobby. Their meal cost was fixed.
Thus, while eating, they wore smartwatches, as there were too many people in the lobby, making it impossible for a camera operator to stand there.
The two ordered their favorites, and the budget was ample for a filling meal, allowing them to enjoy signature dishes.
There was no dissatisfaction at all; the difference between second and first was only a private room.
Although different, the surrounding noise meant they couldnât speak loudly.
While eating and drinking, they discussed the food, with neighboring tables possibly eavesdropping.
Curious about their topics?
Their table also had drinks, sponsored by advertisers.
While eating, they drank beverages and wine.
The hefty father and son dined at a big restaurant and ordered a grand meal, although not too pricey, allowing them to be full.
However, compared to hotel pricing, the two feasted for just two or three hundred.
The price variance among dishes accounted for the difference.
They had free dishes; their main thought was just eating, barely tasting drinks and wine.
Though the child shouldnât drink alcohol.
The hefty man dared not drink too much, afraid of getting drunk.
Fan Lingling and her daughter simply dined at a restaurant; although it looked clean, itâs not their usual venue.
They regretted slacking off.
While others dine in hotels, sheâs in a small restaurant.
The mother-daughter pair ordered a few dishes, each with a rice meal, and the total cost was about 100.
It seemed cheap, less than their usual grocery purchase.
They didnât intend to order more, since many dishes at the small restaurant cost just a few dozen, with chicken being the priciest at around sixty or seventy, plus a few other dishes.
They couldnât eat that much, and the budget wasnât flexibleâthey couldnât just order more.
Despite being hungry, they had to eat something, regardless of it being a small restaurant.
Audiences saw different treatments for different guests, thinking it fair.
They earned the right to good food through their efforts.
As for the compensation guests receive from participating, they vary?
This is privately contracted, and none knows how much others earn.
Lunch was scheduled around noon, with a regrouping by one oâclock at the mountain base.
Awarding each group of guests thereafter.
Once each group received their reward.
They started heading back to the city, why not have a program in the afternoon?
Because some have to work the next day.
For instance, Mr. Luo has a fixed schedule.
Returning in the afternoon didnât allow much time.
A trip from here to the highway takes over an hour, another hour to the airport via highway.
Then a one to two-hour flight.
They wait for the plane to reach their work city, potentially by dusk or nighttime.
Leaving the airport, each group returns home, possibly arriving in the dark.
Gathering at one and then departing back to their city, using the afternoon, why not use the afternoon to shoot another segment, and film more?
Itâs about safety; travel distance is far, and night driving or flying leaves no time for guests to rest at home.
Those working have to work, those studying have to study.
After rewards were distributed, a car ride live stream began for the guests.
Since they couldnât stream during the flight.
They had two or three hours for live streaming.
Guests interacted with the audience in the car.
