Chapter 82: The Duel
Chapter 82: Chapter 82: The Duel
After explaining the rules, it was time for this episode’s flying guess judges to take the stage.
"Hello everyone, I’m Lu Yao." Lu Yao timidly walked onto the stage, seemingly unable to relax.
Then, when she saw judges she knew, she immediately waved happily, "Zhao Xue, Xiao Hai, Sister Li."
Without needing any invitation, she bounced over to where the judges were seated and joyfully greeted her acquaintances.
Zhao Xue, Cai Wanhai, and Yue Li all smiled in response.
Only Chen Jian was a bit puzzled, "Why does Lu Yao call you Zhao Xue and Xiao Hai?"
From an age perspective, Zhao Xue and Cai Wanhai were clearly much older than Lu Yao.
Lu Yao looked innocent, "It was Zhao Xue and Xiao Hai who asked me to call them that. When I first met them, I called them ’teacher,’ but they said it made them feel old."
We were just being polite, you know. Who asked you to add ’little’ to our names?
Cai Wanhai grumbled internally.
Zhao Xue chuckled, "Calling me Zhao Xue does make me feel a lot younger."
With the flying guess judges seated, it was now time to choose the competing guests.
The stage’s big screen showed the backstage area of the guests.
...
Wearing a Mechanical Warrior helmet and light Mechanical Armor, Wu Mu looked at the other guests in the studio.
There were six people in the studio including him, yet the atmosphere was very quiet with no one talking or interacting.
Everyone knew the rules of the show, and the footage from the studio would later be played in front of the panel of guess judges.
Speaking now could accidentally reveal their identity, which could lead to elimination.
Everyone remained silent, just waiting for someone to be chosen to compete.
But Wu Mu wasn’t worried about revealing his identity.
Sitting silently wasn’t a great way to attract camera attention and earn points.
He curiously asked a guest sitting nearby, who was dressed as a winged character from the movie "Wing People," "Is that costume the main character’s from ’Wing People’?"
All guests had voice changers hidden in their head coverings, which would distort and sharpen their voices when switched on, making it impossible to recognize the real voice.
However, Wu Mu didn’t really need to use the voice changer since his "good ventriloquist" Skill was already activated on his system panel.
The guest dressed as a winged character just politely nodded his head, not replying.
But Wu Mu, smiling slightly, continued, "Are you not talking because you’re afraid I’ll guess your identity? Keep this up and I might have to challenge you to a duel."
The winged character’s guest seemed confused for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, "What duel?"
Do they have a dueling rule in this show?
No, but why not create one?
Wu Mu laughed, "The judges select who competes, and if I openly challenge you, they’ll definitely choose us for the excitement of a spectacle."
Are you crazy?
The winged character’s guest stared at Wu Mu, thinking this guy must be deliberately causing trouble.
And are you too overconfident, thinking you’re going to beat me if we duel?
Though he was inwardly anxious, wondering if this guy might be a powerhouse, losing over something like this wouldn’t be worth it.
So, hesitantly, he pinched his nose and said, "Yes, it’s that character."
He just wanted to appease this nutcase and get him off his back.
But unexpectedly, Wu Mu started chatting non-stop with him.
Asking why he chose that costume, if he was involved in that movie, how certain scenes were filmed...
The winged character’s guest broke into a cold sweat, feeling that if they kept talking, his identity would definitely be exposed.
Luckily, another guest nearby couldn’t hold back and snickered, saving him.
Wu Mu’s attention shifted to the giggling guest, who was wearing an orange head covering.
He switched targets, starting to engage the orange-head guest in idle chatter.
Ah, no, I just couldn’t help but laugh a bit, why did you pick on me!
The guest with the orange head started sweating.
The other guests watching this scene undoubtedly felt a little amused.
Are there really fun people among the guests this time?
Everyone was too scared to speak out, and you wanted to be the center of attention, huh?
They were on the sidelines enjoying the spectacle, but to their surprise, after tugging at the orange-headed guest for a while, Wu Mu shifted his target.
One by one, he pulled the guests in the studio into a conversation.
Until...
Wu Mu looked at a guest wearing a cat head and asked in confusion, "Brother, do we know each other?"
Although there was a voice changer inside the headgear, if one got close enough, one could still inevitably hear some of the original voice. From the bits of the original voice under the voice changer, he vaguely felt it was familiar.
Know each other? The cat-headed guest also heard a bit of Wu Mu’s "original voice," and he paused slightly, feeling completely clueless and without any guesses.
He cautiously shook his head, "I don’t think we know each other."
But when Wu Mu heard his reply, he immediately affirmed, "We do know each other, and we have a grudge."
Ah.
Ah?
What the hell are you talking about!
You say we know each other, that’s fine, but a grudge—how can you say that on the show? No courtesy whatsoever, huh!
The cat-headed guest was completely dumbfounded.
But what stunned him even more came later.
Wu Mu suddenly yelled out, "Judging panel, judging panel, I want to duel with this person!"
...
Huh?
There’s a fun person!
The members of the judging panel, who had just finished watching the studio footage, had their eyes light up.
This kind of show material that came knocking on their door, who would not grab it.
The members of the judging panel quickly shouted in unison, "Director, director, pick these two!"
After shouting, the judging panel guests looked at each other.
Yue Li hesitated for a moment and then said, "This style, it’s him, right?"
Zhao Xue looked quite speechless, "Obviously, it’s him. With this style, who else could it be in the circle?"
Chen Jian laughed, "He’s too easy to recognize, how could he join our show without any disguise?"
Cai Wanhai chuckled, "This is like giving us a performance on a silver platter."
Everyone was almost sure about their guess.
Only Lu Yao, looking around in bewilderment, said, "Ah, ah? Who is it?"
Are you an idiot?
Zhao Xue looked even more speechless at her.
Under her gaze, Lu Yao felt a bit guilty, her little brain working hard, Who is it, who is it? How come everyone else figured it out but she couldn’t?
A moment later, she belatedly realized, "Oh, you are talking about Teacher Wu Mu!"
Knowing everyone’s guesses, she nodded in affirmation, "It’s not Teacher Wu Mu, he still has to participate in our show, there’s no way he could be here."
Zhao Xue: "..."
As long as you’re happy.
After muttering ’such an idiot’ in her mind, the judging panel guests turned their attention back to the stage.
The guests they selected had already come on stage, the cat-headed one first.
Backstage, Wu Mu watched the cat-headed guest standing on the stage and chuckled inwardly; what a small world.
To think that he would run into Xu Zhiwen here.
