Chapter 162 - 162 162 Dont Get Too Happy Too Soon
?Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Don’t Get Too Happy Too Soon Chapter 162: Chapter 162 Don’t Get Too Happy Too Soon The next day, early in the morning, Luo Ning and Lu Xun got up early to exercise and took the opportunity to buy breakfast for everyone on their way back.
After breakfast, the director arrived at the courtyard of the guesthouse.
“Today we’ll be heading up to visit the various tiers of the National Treasure Institute, and we’ll see which team will be the first to knock on the doors of each institute,” he said with an interested smile. “Starting now, your two teams officially enter the competitive phase.”
Wei Yao laughed and said, “It’s finally time for our group to shine.”
Chai Jing also chimed in with a laugh, “Yeah, last night Little Ningning took two beauties out for a night stroll, showing off boyfriend power to the max, and left us no chance to show our stuff.”
“Today it’s our turn.”
Wei Yao, looking at Luo Ning, said, “Speaking of which, I have to say, Little Ningning, your flirting skills are even better than us guys, I’m impressed!”
“That’s for sure.” Su Qinglan took Luo Ning’s arm voluntarily, “If Little Ningning were a guy, I’d definitely chase after her.”
“Don’t get cocky, I think to get through the challenges, we still need to cling to Little Ningning’s coattails.”
Although she had not seen Luo Ning exhibit other skills, she simply believed in her.
Ni Xinxuan also laughed and said, “If Luo Ning were a guy, I’d directly offer myself as a dowry to marry her.”
Being around Luo Ning gave one a feeling of being valued and cherished, which was way better than being with a scumbag like Yuan Hanyi.
“Even though I’m in the second group, I also think we should cling to Little Ningning’s coattails to win by doing nothing.”
After saying this, she cast an envious glance at the people in the first group, wondering why she had been drawn into the second group.
Luo Ning was caught between laughter and tears, “I really owe you all one!”
[Haha, my Ningbao is truly a heart-throb for the ladies!]
[I’m thinking of going from calling her ‘wife’ to ‘husband,’ what should I do?]
[Seeing how Ningbao went all out with boyfriend power yesterday, I looked at my own boyfriend, and all I wanted was to kick him, again and again.]
[Me too, what’s the use of such a loser boyfriend, Ningbao is way better.]
[What do I need a boyfriend for, just getting in the way, Ningbao is all I need.]
[I also want to marry Ningbao, husband I love you!]
[Husband, I want to marry you!]
The male viewers and fans, seeing these bullet-screen comments about wanting to marry Luo Ning, were all speechless with black lines on their foreheads, thinking these women must be crazy.
Then with a mix of bitterness and tears, they ruminated how tough it was to be a man these days.
Not only did they have to be wary of other men, but now even women had to be guarded against—they had it tough indeed.
Luo Ning turned to the director and asked, “Is there a reward for the competition between the two groups?”
Wei Yao and the others also reacted, “Right, what’s the reward for the winning group? If there’s nothing, then we’re not falling for it.”
The director replied with a beaming smile, “Of course, there’s a reward.”
“Our production team has coordinated with National Treasure Mountain. As long as you can knock on the doors of each tier of the National Treasure Institutes and gain the approval of the masters inside, you will receive a gift.”
“There’s one for each level, so it will be up to which group can get the gifts.”
Hearing the director’s words, Wei Yao and the others’ eyes lit up.
Wei Yao and Chai Jing even slapped hands, “So it’s a reward from National Treasure Mountain, then we must give it our all.”
Lu Xun said with a smile, “But don’t celebrate too soon.”
Wei Yao confidently declared, “Mr. Lu, our group has the advantage this time. When we head up the mountain, we’ll be unreserved, so get ready for our challenge.”
Of course, this was mainly to keep the atmosphere lively; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare to throw down a gauntlet to Lu.
Lu Xun chuckled, “Feel free to bring it on.”
Seeing the guests and trainees from both teams eagerly warming up, the director’s smile deepened.
The more competitive the two teams were, the better. And it would be ideal if they could spark some more clashes.
“Alright then, I’ll just stay here and wish you success in storming the institute,” he said, clapping his hands.
Luo Ning caught a keyword from his words. “Director, and what if we don’t succeed in storming the institute?”
The director found Luo Ning very sharp and sheepishly smiled, “Then you won’t be able to get in.”
Chai Jing raised an eyebrow and asked, “What does ‘not getting in’ mean?”
The director didn’t hide any longer, “Each layer of the National Treasure Institute is not that easy to enter. If both teams fail to meet each other’s requirements and entry thresholds, you will be turned away at the door.”
Wei Yao was at a loss for words, “Are you kidding us?”
They obviously knew that the different layers of the National Treasure Institute weren’t easy to enter; otherwise, they would have entered before rather than waiting until now.
The program team hadn’t arranged this, so the director really was inhuman, letting them get excited for nothing.
The director unashamedly spread his hands, “Of course, I’m not joking. This is the real test for you all. Otherwise, what’s the point of competing in challenges?”
“So next, whether you can knock on the doors of the National Treasure Institute layers and unveil the veil with the audience, that’s up to everyone here.”
He didn’t say that they had actually wanted to arrange for the guests to go straight in for a live tour, but the National Treasure Mountain had its rules, which they couldn’t break.
What they managed to secure was the ability to broadcast live after entering, which was already quite difficult.
But this made the show even more exciting and thrilling, or else how would the viewership ratings skyrocket?
Lu Xun had always been aware of the rules of the National Treasure Mountain and chuckled, “That’s why I told you not to get too excited earlier; the production team wouldn’t be so kind-hearted.”
Wei Yao glared at the director, “How is this any different from us coming on our own?”
The director shamelessly replied, “Of course, there’s a difference. If you come on your own and don’t meet the requirements and thresholds, you’d be completely out of chances to get in.”
“But if someone from your two teams gets through, the rest of you can follow them in. That’s something we’ve worked hard to negotiate.”
He continued, “I’ve been emphasizing which team can knock on the doors of the National Treasure Institute first, but I never said you could just walk in.”
Wei Yao gave him an exasperated look, “You’ve been playing word games from the start, shameless.”
The director continued shamelessly, “This situation teaches you a lesson: there’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and you should always listen to the rules carefully.”
Wei Yao felt suddenly duped.
Seeing the guests about to explode, the director quickly smiled and said, “Alright, let’s hurry up and set off in the cars.”
With that, he made a swift getaway with his team.
[Haha, the director really is ruthless, totally played Wei Yao and the rest.]
[I was wondering how the program team could be so amazing, getting the National Treasure Mountain to open up. Turns out they still need to follow the rules to knock on the door!]
[But agreeing to a live broadcast isn’t too bad either, since normally if someone meets the threshold to visit, they aren’t allowed to take photos or videos.]
[What good does that do? The key point is whether the guests are up to the challenge. If they can’t open the door, it’s all in vain.]
[I’ve tried it myself in the past, and meeting the threshold is super, super hard. I think the chances of the guests getting in today are really slim.]
[I know someone who’s tried too, and it’s indeed tough. The guests are in for a challenge.]
[Ah, I have no hopes for these celebrity guests. How could they possibly meet the threshold requirements? Don’t mess with us.]
[I suddenly want to see these celebrities get rejected and deflate, looking forward to it!]
[That’s mean, but I’m also kind of looking forward to it now, what should I do?]
[I still hope the guests can pull it off. I’m watching this show just for the National Treasure Institute layers.]
[Teacher Wei, Mr. Chai, it’s all on you now, rise to the challenge!]
