Chapter 760: 759. Mystery Variety Show

"What is this fairy-tale plot twist, eh? Am I really just watching an adventure reality show?"

"Who would have thought, the mystical Chinese medicine actually opens up the international market just because of some herbs!!!"

"Are we sure this isn’t a ’Five Thousand Years of Eastern Country Heritage’ educational program?!"

"Last week I was still worrying about how Tang Shu could introduce Chinese medicine to them, but little did I expect such a qualitative leap at the beginning of this episode!"

"Questioning life!"

"Unbelievable!"

Not just the viewers were dumbfounded; on camera, Yin Dong and his colleagues were equally baffled, and even the following cameramen were shaking their hands.

In the video, the ten guests set off on the road again.

They rested at sunset and set out at sunrise, and quickly reached the other side of the island, but that’s when disaster struck! Alina injured her ankle, and the group encountered local mercenaries, which made all the viewers’ hearts skip a beat.

As Alina’s companions were bandaging her wound, Tang Shu was seen in the camera using a dagger to peel off a piece of bark.

Yes, just an ordinary piece of bark.

The audience slowly typed a "?" in the barrage of comments.

"Honestly, I feel like she’s about to stir something up."

"She must be up to something! Sadly no proof...."

"I have a hunch that Miss Tang Shu is about to dazzle everyone again!"

"Nonsense, with all the focus on her, how could it just be a simple bark? Just don’t know what she’s up to."

Soon, Tang Shu provided an explanation.

Dalbergia odorifera, after simple processing, can help dissipate blood stasis, stop bleeding, and manage pain.

Alina drank it with a try-and-see attitude, and after settling down, she felt no more pain. In the barrage where the tension had risen due to the appearance of mercenaries, things once again became uncontrollable.

"The second wave of Chinese medicine popularization!"

"Is this how easy it is to explain Chinese medicine to foreigners? Just f***ing incredible!"

"Just an unremarkable piece of bark???"

"But the problem is, it actually worked! Who was it that said Tang Shu only had a superficial understanding? Bro, come out here, I promise not to beat you to death!"

"emmm~~ the big issue that’s been troubling the Chinese medicine community just got solved by an undergrad?"

"Wait a second... Why do I suddenly feel safe with Tang Shu around?"

"Bro, I get you, it’s this inexplicable sense of security!"

Sense of security...

In the Palm Pavilion Villa, Qu Junfeng almost choked on a small French pastry when he saw these three words filling the screen.

Sense of security? Who?

Remembering the first time he met this pair of siblings, Qu Junfeng once again shrunk his small body and kept a wee distance from the two people next to him.

***

The show continued to air, and as night began to fall, a dangerous vibe permeated the entire screen.

The staff who were making exchanges with the guests at the beach were taken hostage by the mercenaries, and the ten people had no choice but to gather strength in a cave; meanwhile, the Program Team back at the hotel couldn’t be reached...

Each event gripped the audience in front of their televisions.

It was not until the conversation between Roger and Tang Shu was heard again that viewers were drawn in.

"Eastern people are indeed crafty, just like to win people over, not sincere at all. Luke will eventually see your true colors!"

"Oh~~~ so actually, it’s not Mu Ziwei you like, but Austin, right? Are you jealous because we were getting along so well?"

"!!! Don’t talk nonsense!"

In the face of danger, the cameraman’s hands started shaking once more, causing the camera to sway from side to side.

Viewer: "...."

That was pretty abrupt.

"Really can’t stay tense for more than three seconds."

"How exactly do these two manage to be jealous and competitive under such dangerous circumstances?"

"So in the end Roger views Tang Shu as a rival in love, isn’t that right?"

Despite being knocked out multiple times, the godly Roger suffered a crushing defeat yet again and received yet another wave of sympathy from the audience.

After dinner, Alina was deeply curious about Tang Shu’s Chinese medicine tricks until the person in question pulled out a small cloth bag from her waist, laid it out for everyone to see, and dozens of shiny silver needles glinted eerily under the camera light.

This scene sent a collective shiver down the audience’s spine.

"Oh my god!"

"Silver needles!"

"Could it be that Tang Shu knows acupuncture, for real?"

"I’d believe it if she wanted to gather Herbs or said tree bark could relieve pain, but this, this is acupuncture we’re talking about!"

"You can’t master this stuff without a decade or more of practice, right?"

"It’s over, I smell trouble!"

"Don’t stick them in, ahhhh, this could kill someone—"

As everyone, both inside and outside of the video, fretted, Tang Shu did not hesitate to insert the needles with a quick, decisive, and accurate motion, poking in four or five needles in quick succession before anyone could panic.

Incredibly, Alina, the person involved, said it was working like magic.

"..."

"???"

"!!!"

"That worked? Are you kidding me?"

"I thought you needed over a decade of experience before you could needle people, was I misunderstanding the art of acupuncture?"

"Maybe, we’ve misunderstood Miss Tang Shu..."

"I remember now! Miss Tang Shu was in the news before; she used acupuncture to stop bleeding for a passenger on a train!"

"Now that you mention it, it does ring a bell, turns out she actually knows her stuff!"

"What a godsend! With Miss Sister here, we feel so safe!"

"Damn, such a sense of security—"

The words "sense of security" appeared again, prompting viewers to spontaneously flood the screen with comments.

Just as the video’s guests fell asleep, what seemed to be a shadow flashed outside the cave, and in the next shot, Tang Shu handed over a mobile phone to each member of the night watch duo.

Audience: "???"

What in the world happened?

On the video, the post-production team slowly typed a few words onto the screen.

[Sorry, the cameraman couldn’t keep up]

"What does that mean?"

"Don’t know, what the heck happened here?"

"Is the Program Team playing charades now?"

Everyone was baffled.

The program continued as usual. The next day, when everyone woke up and the sun was shining brightly, the two team leaders gathered everyone for a meeting, while Tang Shu conveniently laid out the information and a simple map she had secretly discovered the previous night before everyone.

"No way, did she go to the seaside by herself last night?"

"She couldn’t have; those were mercenaries!"

"Unless the Program Team opened a back door for her, could this reality show have a script?"

"Things are getting more and more confusing, a mysterious reality show, mysterious adventure..."

After discussing, the group of ten decided that four would head to the beach camp to steal the signal booster, and before long they reached their destination. But as Yin Dong and the others got hold of the item, they also alarmed the mercenaries.

A gunfight was about to erupt!

The audience noticed that the video editing was a bit blurry, and the picture was even shakier.

"This seems like it was filmed by the small cameras on the guests?"

"Indeed, it’s not shot by a professional cameraman; the image is a bit blurry, but it’s still watchable—at least the people and the scenery don’t have any major issues."

"The editors have it tough too..."
