Chapter 31: Chapter 31: Congratulations to Sister Ji on Becoming the Group Favorite (Revised)

Director Wang removed all the food items from the labor points exchange and replaced them with a labor experience card.

Zhu Xiu’an looked completely shocked: "This is such a scam, I demand to exchange labor points for food, I’ll cook myself!"

[? What’s Zhu Xiu’an going to cook, blow up the kitchen?]

[Hilarious, he learned his lesson, but just a little! Just a tiny bit!]

Director Wang waved his small hand: "The labor point store is offline, today there’s only this! From now on, labor points can only pay for rent!"

Zhu Xiu’an: "...Shameless! So shameless!!"

Director Wang took a bite of the pie, revealing the full stuffing inside, extremely arrogant: "Young man! This show is ultimately mine...!"

Before he could finish the word "kingdom," he saw Ji Xizhi in the center of the guests with a slight frown.

Director Wang felt a shock: Oh no! Trouble is coming!

He felt like his brain’s CPU was about to burn out, never worked so fast, catching up before Ji Xizhi could speak, grabbed a megaphone and shouted: "Our show’s experience cards are limited, first come, first served, exchange two...get a free egg!!! Latecomers get nothing!"

[Hahaha, Director Wang has evolved! Now he’ll let everyone fight over goods!]

[Last night, Zhi Zhi’s 600 labor points weren’t wasted! Laughing so hard!]

[There’s even a freebie now? Since when is Director Wang so generous?!]

This loud announcement was heard by half the village.

The words Ji Xizhi was just about to say were immediately drowned out.

Director Wang watched as the other guests rushed forward to start exchanging for experience cards, calming his chest down.

Thankfully, although giving away eggs was a little costly, the show’s rules were finally not broken by Ji Xizhi!

Director Wang walked up to Ji Xizhi with a smug expression: "So how about it? Now their exchanges are valid, you can’t stop them, right!"

Ji Xizhi turned around surprised and said: "Stop what?"

Director Wang: "Weren’t you going to break the show’s rules again?!!!"

Ji Xizhi sharply countered: "Besides usury, do you have any other illegal activities?"

Director Wang frowned: "Of course not!!!"

Ji Xizhi: "Then why would I need to break the show’s rules?"

Director Wang: "?" So you’re really the head of law enforcement, huh?!

"So what were you just about to say?!"

Ji Xizhi answered calmly: "Oh, I wanted to ask if besides hard-boiled eggs, there’s tea egg to exchange?"

Director Wang: "."

The frustration in his chest just wouldn’t go away!

His eggs! The eggs he bought at a high price from the villagers to eat himself!!!

[Hahahahaha, I knew stingy Director Wang wouldn’t suddenly start giving discounts!]

[Laughing to tears, Director Wang’s drastic measures cost himself a hefty sum!]

[Our Zhi Zhi also had a bloodless day today~]

[Who could have thought, Director Wang was conditioned reflexively, yet Zhi Zhi just wanted a simple tea egg!]

[Zhi Zhi shrugs: I really just wanted to educate on the law, not deliberately target the show!]

Director Wang, still mourning, looked up and saw the screen filled with ridicule, clutching his chest tighter and tighter.

Quick... Quick Heart Reliever!

While Director Wang was gloomy, at the labor experience card exchange board next door, five guests were scrambling like mad.

Qin Yutian was determined to get Ji Xizhi something good today, he went up and chose the two hardest, cleaning the chicken coop and pigpen experience cards, and exchanged an extra bowl of porridge, full of energy.

Fang Zhuyue watched from the side, mouth agape.

Recalling the 1 labor point she gave Ji Xizhi yesterday, the contrast was brutal.

Qin Yutian must have done it on purpose! Wanted to snatch her leg to cling onto? No way!!!

Fang Zhuyue, not willing to be outdone, immediately went up and exchanged other items to send over.

Next door, Zhu Xiu’an, fresh from getting breakfast from the staff, came out to see Fang Zhuyue and Qin Yutian both delivering breakfast to Ji Xizhi, pondering, What good things was he left out of again?!

Forget it, just charge in!

After the maneuvers by the three, Ji Xizhi ended up with all types of breakfast in front of her.

Director Wang: "..." Are you offering tribute here?

And even if you are, you should be offering tribute to the director, right!!

[Hahaha, congratulations Sister Ji on becoming the group’s darling~]

[This isn’t a group darling; this is blatantly clinging to the big leg! Begging Sister Ji to lead them!]

[It feels like after yesterday afternoon and evening, the guests’ relations improved, it’s great, I want to keep watching like this!]

[@Director Wang get it? Here’s a tip, clinging to Ji Xizhi is the way to go!]

Ji Xizhi looked at the table full of breakfast, paused, and then politely declined: "I’ll just eat Qin Yutian’s, you all eat the rest yourself!"

Zhu Xiu’an, seeing this, shouted without thinking: "I can also sign a contract!!!"

Ji Xizhi: "I don’t have anything worth trading with you."

Zhu Xiu’an shook his head straight: "Then I don’t want anything!" Anyway, he had to cling to this big leg today!

Ji Xizhi: "." She took back her praise for understanding the law, the show’s legal awareness project had a long way to go!

[I retract the recent praise for the silly son’s comment, did he learn anything?! Not even a bit!]

[Zhi Zhi’s expression: changed from gratification to seeing a fool, hahaha]

[As a lawyer, I can feel Ji Xizhi’s suffocation, I had a similar case, my client got scammed out of their shorts!]

The audience in the bullet comments was already laughing hysterically, and someone who watched an entire season of "Life Experience" made several meme-edited videos of Zhu Xiu’an’s various facepalm moments on the show, posted them to D site, and went viral all over the internet!

The last video of him actively asking to sign a contract was even used as a counter-example in major colleges’ law courses for intensive teaching.

When Zhu Xiu’an saw it, he was already red-hot in the legal circle!

-

In the end, Ji Xizhi still kept a bit of conscience and didn’t give Zhu Xiu’an a contract.

Zhu Xiu’an left with a disappointed expression, contributing another wave of laughs to the live broadcast room.

After breakfast, the guests were to head to the labor experience card task locations.

Ji Xizhi, holding Qin Yutian’s contract, went straight upstairs to study.

This time Director Wang didn’t stop her, mainly because he still hadn’t calmed down, and couldn’t stop her even if he wanted to.

After Ji Xizhi went upstairs, Director Wang took several deep breaths to calm down.

He distributed the locations for different labor experience cards to each guest, and then began to say:

"Today is a personal task, everyone has chosen a labor experience card that suits their fancy, next, please show your personal charm in labor and start the live-streaming competition!"

The guests, hearing about a live-streaming competition, suddenly felt dizzy, "What does that mean? Isn’t it just about completing the labor experience?"

Seeing the five guests acting normal, Director Wang’s mood improved significantly, he beamed: "Of course, you need to complete the labor experience, but during the experience, everyone will be in a competition. Six guests, divided into six live-streaming rooms, everyone needs to use their abilities to attract viewers, the one with the highest live-stream popularity will receive a luxurious feast prepared by the show team! And the guest with the lowest popularity will face a painful punishment designed by the show team!"

"A friendly reminder, each account can only choose one live-streaming room to watch, so please give it your all for the luxury feast!"

[Crap! I knew there must be a catch with Director Wang making labor seem so easy, wasn’t on the same level at all! This was the plan!]

[Indeed, with Director Wang setting up streaming competition for traffic, without some gimmicks, it’s really hard to catch the audience’s eye!]

[Oh no, I only have one phone, I want to watch Yueyue but also watch Zhi Zhi, what do I do!]

[I’ve already given up on my silly son, going to self-study with Zhi Zhi and binge on worksheets, silly son... even if I live in the live room, he won’t get a luxury feast! (Don’t ask, asking shows Yue fans’ self-awareness!)]
