Chapter 65: A Ridiculous Game
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the director returned to the beach, the barbecue ingredients in the freezer were revealed to the guests.
“The ingredients everyone wants are all in the box. There’s meat, vegetables, seafood, and seasonal fruits. It’s very easy for you to get these ingredients. This time, you don’t have to use labor coins to exchange for them. I believe you don’t have that many labor coins on you.”
When the director opened the freezer, some of the guests had already thought about taking out their labor coins. In the end, the director actually said that he would not use coins this time.
Hearing the director’s last sentence, everyone looked at the few labor coins left in their hands and the light in their eyes dimmed.
“Director, you’re wrong to say that. The reason why I don’t have much labor coins on me is because you gave me too little labor coins to begin with,” Meng
Chuyuan said.
Qi Zhen chimed in. “That’s right. The prices of the dishes are so high. We don’t even have many coins left after one ingredient exchange session.”
The prices of this batch of dishes were generally about the same as the first batch, but most of the ingredients were seafood. In terms of quantity, they were greatly reduced. For example, only one crab was given out per exchange.
[That’s right, that’s right. How much labor coins were given by the director? Now, he’s actually complaining that the guests don’t have enough labor coins on hand.]
[Sister Meng: Director, how dare you look down on us when you gave us so little money?]
[Public anger aroused. Director, you’re on your own, hahaha.]
[If there were no cameras, the director would probably be beaten up. Who would be able to tolerate this?]
[The director advises you to know your place and watch your words.]
After the director was mercilessly exposed by Meng Chuyuan, he coughed lightly and took the opportunity to change the topic. “Let’s get down to business first.’
“This time, we need everyone to win the ingredients by playing games.”
Liao Jiake asked curiously, “What game?”
The director suddenly raised an apple from the table and said, “Breaking an apple with your bare hands.”
[Director, this game is a little difficult, hahaha.]
[Sister Meng hasn’t said anything yet. I really want to see her reaction. Only she can spar with the director.]
[Help, was this game even thought through? Or did the director come up with it on a whim?]
[Breaking an apple with bare hands, hahaha. Only the director can think of such a stereotypical man’s game, right?]
[Are you sure you’re not making things difficult for the guests? This feels harder than spending labor coins.]
After the director finished explaining the game, the entire venue fell silent. After a while, Ting Jiu said in disdain, “You call this a game?”
When Ting Jiu first heard that he was going to be playing games, he was quite excited. He thought that the production team would collaborate with their gaming platform and specially design a publicity segment. Perhaps he could show his strengths.
Who would have thought that he would be breaking an apple with his bare hands?
“Breaking apples… Are you serious?” Qi Yan looked at the apple and began to worry about her manicure.
The director nodded affirmatively. “I’m serious. Everyone, let’s start. You can choose one ingredient each time.”
Ting Jiu took an apple and studied it carefully. “Why do I feel that the production team is deliberately giving us difficult obstacles? Sister Chuyuan, don’t you think so?”
“Well, we don’t have labor coins.” Meng Chuyuan had already calmed down and did not intend to argue with anyone.
[No way? What’s wrong with Sister Meng? Are you sure you won’t refute such a ridiculous game?]
[I thought Sister Meng would have a showdown with the director, but in the end, Sister Meng compromised. What happened?]
[Guys, I suddenly feel a little upset, as if I’ve lost a game. I really didn’t expect Sister Meng to have such a reaction this time.]
[Is there a possibility that Sister Meng can break apples with her bare hands and that’s why she’s so willing to compromise?]
Meng Chuyuan took an apple and tried to pry it open.
Actually, she had never broken an apple with her bare hands, so she did not break it open like everyone else when she tried.
The viewers in the live-stream broke out in a cold sweat for her. They couldn’t understand why she didn’t reject the director’s request just now when she didn’t know how to crack apples.
Qi Yan happened to be standing beside Meng Chuyuan. Seeing that she could not pry open the apple, Qi Yan could not help but laugh. “I thought you were quite capable.”
Meng Chuyuan heard her sarcastic voice and replied coldly, “You think so? What does your opinion have to do with me?”
Although Meng Chuyuan really couldn’t break the apple apart, she didn’t feel embarrassed at all.
She had never said she was capable in everything.
Everyone had an apple in their hands. After a long time, no one could break open the apple. The director sat at the side and crossed his legs willfully. When he saw this scene, he was very happy.
The production team could be said to have prepared a large variety of ingredients for the barbecue this time. That was because they were going to eat it all later.
In order to save as many ingredients as possible, the director could only think of such a difficult game.
However, in order to deal with Meng Chuyuan, the director had prepared a second plan: An alternative game that required guests to quickly distinguish pure water from salt water. In the end, he did not have to use it.
After a long while, someone finally broke apart the first apple. It was Lu Jinsen.
Without anyone noticing, Lu Jinsen suddenly exerted some force and the apple was split into two in his hand.
[Young Master is quite capable. He can really break apart an apple with his bare hands?]
[No one could have guessed that the person who would break apart the apple would be Lu Jinsen!]
[I’ve always felt that Young Master is quite strong. It doesn’t seem strange that he can break it apart.]
Ting Jiu looked at Lu Jinsen in shock. When he saw the apple in his hand break open, he asked in surprise, “Damn, how did you do it?”
Lu Jinsen narrowed his eyes and said softly, “By force.”
The guests present were all stunned. It was as if the apples in their hands were of a different breed from Lu Jinsen’s.
When Meng Chuyuan saw this, she could not help but praise him. “Not bad.”
It seemed that everyone’s dinner was settled.
When the director heard that Lu Jinsen had broke apart the apple, he immediately got up from his chair.
Before the director could check, Lu Jinsen had already turned around and showed him the apple.
The director: “Did you really break it apart?”
Lu Jinsen raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly, “Can I choose now?”
“Yes.”
They had only broken apart the first apple. At the moment, the director felt that it was not much of a threat, so he appeared to be very generous.
Lu Jinsen placed the apple back on the table. Before he went to choose the ingredients, he glanced at Meng Chuyuan.
He took the initiative to ask, “What should I choose?”
[Am I seeing things? Is Lu Jinsen is asking for Sister Meng’s opinion?] [Not bad, not bad. This kid has improved. He knows how to think for others.]
[Am I the only one who thinks that Young Master is like a child who can’t make up his mind? Hahaha, but isn’t he asking Sister Meng to be respectful?]
[I didn’t expect Lu Jinsen to be such a gentleman. He even knows the ruleladies first..]
