Chapter 759: Yet another day to be dazzled.

The program team and others, working overtime once again, had mastered the routine and, after dinner, settled at their respective workstations.

"Back to work!"

"Time to hustle!"

"Everyone, get spirited, charge, brothers!"

Remembering last Saturday’s high viewership rating of nearly 18 points, everyone was fired up, their blood boiling as if ready to burst through any barrier.

"Roar! Let’s do this!"

The assistant, too, was motivated by the enthusiastic rallying cries all around, clenching fists as if they would storm into every viewer’s home and lock their TV channel.

"Huh? Director Lin, how come you’re calmer every time?"

Turning their head, the assistant noticed Lin Chuan leisurely cleaning his ears with an earpick, his hand steady amidst the roaring cheers.

"Nonsense, that’s why I’m the director and you’re just an assistant."

"..."

Well, there’s no need to be so Ginseng Rooster about it.

Lin Chuan, oblivious to the assistant’s mutterings, pulled over a chair from the opposite side, propped his feet up to find a comfortable position, and played dead.

As for the viewership ratings?

He, who actively participated in the post-production editing, declared he wasn’t the least bit worried about them!

***

At 8:30 pm, with the unique opening music of "Journey Together," the second episode began to air.

In the video, the tropical rainforest at night was stunningly beautiful, the distant beach shimmering, and familiar constellations twinkled overhead— a gorgeous sight in ultra-high definition.

Accompanied by the sounds of insects, everyone enjoyed the delicious fish soup in their hands and turned their gaze back to the earthen-colored ceramic pot.

It’s a good thing we have it—

"I just want to know, does Wei really like you?"

On camera, a hesitant Roger finally voiced the question that had been gnawing at him all day.

"Does it not look like it?"

"Impossible, she likes someone like me!"

Back and forth, the video trembled noticeably for a few moments before regaining stability. Miraculously, the next second the camera switched angles, perfectly capturing the shaking hand of Tang Shu’s personal photographer.

Caught off guard, viewers burst out laughing.

"Pfft—I say that photographer brother should add a drumstick!"

"He can’t hold it together, he’s losing it!"

"As a behind-the-scenes worker, he certainly endures many pains he shouldn’t have to, hhhhhhh~~~~"

"Hey, hey, what’s going on, are we missing the point here, there’s a huge romance reveal happening ahhhh!"

"Brother Luo, you indirectly admitted your relationship with Mu Ziwei, realize that, I speculated there was something between these two before, and it’s true!!!"

"Damn, this is a bombshell, I’m just watching an adventure show and they go public with their relationship?"

"Love came too abruptly, I’m a bit overwhelmed, emmmmm~~~"

Domestic celebrities keep their relationships under wraps for as long as possible, whereas foreign stars seem to take them a bit more lightly, which is a major reason why Roger admitted without much thought.

The revelation shocked the gossip-loving crowd!

"Mu Ziwei and Roger? This international couple is interesting! Did sparks fly during the shooting of ’Hurricane Goddess’?"

"Good Lord, the Wood Goddess didn’t leak a hint after returning home? She kept it tightly under wraps——"

"No wonder there was interaction on Weibo before, so the past few months weren’t about friendship but romance?"

Thus, the chattering gossip hounds eagerly opened their Weibo pages, flooding Mu Ziwei’s comments with strings of "seeking the truth."

Mu Ziwei didn’t respond for a long time, and quite a few celebrities in the loop remained silent, clutching their phones with enigmatic expressions. Compared to the gossip crowd, they had more to consider.

Mu Ziwei and international star Roger are together? That... probably is just what Roger thinks on his side.

Given Roger’s attitude, he doesn’t mind going public at all, if Mu Ziwei had this idea, she would have admitted it in front of the media already, after all, Roger is a great asset, and going public with their relationship would be very beneficial for Mu Ziwei’s future career.

Now that "Hurricane Goddess" has been taken down for a long time, and there’s still no sign of going public, what does that tell us?

They’re just not taking it seriously at all~~~

Many people in the industry silently retracted their claws, yet their eyes couldn’t hide their schadenfreude.

Hmm— wake up early tomorrow, I believe there will be news, right? Now Mu Ziwei can’t deny it even if she wants to. Whenever a celebrity relationship goes public, it’s bound to cause fan turmoil, I wonder what kind of changes will happen to the international fan base of the two?

People in the industry have different thoughts, and in the video, Tang Shu’s mouth curved into a smirk, bringing life to her entire being, as she looked at Roger and said meaningfully:

"You say she likes someone like you, so... what are you like?"

"Naturally handsome, muscular, physically strong, able to make people feel secure!"

"Am I pretty?"

"Pretty."

"Then do I have good physical strength?"

"...Yes."

"So, where do you think you’re better than me?"

"!!!"

Roger was left speechless again!

The audience in front of the TV burst out laughing again!

"Puhahaha, what is this divine triple question? Can’t stop laughing hhhhhhhh~~~"

"Tang Shu missed one: I can also spear fish and cook on the stove!"

"emmm~~ even I feel like Mu Ziwei doesn’t like Tang Shu is her loss, what to do?"

"Tsk tsk, who wouldn’t love such an all-rounded sister? God Luo you’ve fallen into the pit again—"

"He believed it again, he did again and again!"

"Roger: So I’m just a spare tire???"

"A bloodless victory! The divine triple question directly dealt with a love rival!"

"Dying of laughter, can the word ’love rival’ even apply? I almost believed it!"

...

The audience couldn’t straighten their backs from laughing, gaining a new understanding of Tang Shu’s ability to dupe people, but for the old fans, this was just a minor joke.

"Sigh— the moment I saw that smile on Uncle’s face, I knew someone was about to be unlucky."

"Still the familiar formula, the familiar smile, the familiar pit—"

"I was originally hopeful for the male god, but I didn’t expect him not to last a single round, total noob!"

"Another day being dazzled by Uncle!"

"She’s out bullying people again! Doesn’t anyone care?"

The answer is... no one.

***

The next day, ten outdoor tents were surrounded by millions of crawlers.

The difference, however, was that on Tang Shu’s side, it was a genuine surrounding, and if it hadn’t been for the tents, the two groups would have had a close encounter long ago.

That morning, Austin became Tang Shu’s little assistant, asking her about the effects of common herbs along the way.

The audience was collectively baffled!

"What the hell? So traditional Chinese medicine, this fantasy legacy that foreigners never accept, has just been solved like that by a handful of herbs???"

"A handful of herbs? Motherf**ker, it’s just a bunch of herbs!"
