Chapter 536: Chapter 536: Truth or Dare

Yu Li first fell silent for a while, then slowly began to speak.

"Actually... Young Master Jiang, have you ever considered that it might not be the sachet that’s the problem, but perhaps it’s you?"

Jiang Yan: "What do you mean?"

No sooner had he spoken than he fell silent.

Upon reflection, it seemed there really was something mystical clinging to him.

Back in Chixia Village, all the small animals were especially fond of him, starting with the crabs that Wen Jiaojiao had scattered all heading in his direction, then the uncontrollable bull chasing after him, followed by Richard the chicken who wouldn’t stop pursuing him, and finally, during the game, the sow that kept snuggling up to him.

Since joining this show, things had only escalated, with even the danger level of the animals doubling.

The more Jiang Yan thought about it, the more his scalp tingled, and finally, he slapped the ground in frustration.

"From now on, I’m never doing any variety shows again!"

Yu Li: "...."

Audience: "...."

Is this really an issue with the variety show?!

As if by telepathy, just after Jiang Yan finished speaking, their watches sounded a familiar ringtone—

It was the exclusive notification tone of the production team.

Subconsciously, a few people exchanged glances.

Shang Shuyue swallowed the snake meat in her mouth, "Why is the director coming out to update the rules at this time? During the midday."

Jiang Li shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.

Following that, a somewhat sexy voice came from the watch— freewebnσvel.cѳm

"Good afternoon, dear guests. I’m sorry to disturb you at this time, but considering that you all should have finished your midday rest by now, I came to share some news."

"Previous rules still apply. According to the previous progress, by the end of yesterday’s live broadcast, Team Y was in the lead, so Team Y will receive a bonus of 1,000 points."

"However, to encourage everyone to continue exploring, I’ve decided that the progress points will be doubled every day. So today, the team that travels the farthest will receive 2,000 points."

This news excited all the contestants on the entire island.

Double the points every day! Won’t it be 4,000 points by tomorrow?! This new director is really something!

Bai Lu also excitedly shook Jiang Li’s arm, "Lili, did you hear that? It doubles every day. If we push a bit harder we might really have a chance to compete for first place."

Jiang Li, however, just smiled, "Haven’t you all noticed the loophole in this rule?"

Everyone looked blank.

"The reward for moving forward has indeed increased, but I believe you’ve also noticed that the inner paths are difficult to navigate, the environment is harsher, and accordingly, the needed supplies will become more and more..."

But today’s supply prices have more than doubled compared to yesterday’s.

Only the leading team could possibly benefit from the point increase.

In other words, the lagging teams would only see their survival environment deteriorate due to the lack of supplies.

Clearly, He Pingzhang was even more adept at calculations than Zheng Xun.

[Damn, Sister Li is telling the truth, that really is how it is.]

[Didn’t expect the new director to be an old fox too!]

[As expected, the people sent by the Gu Group are different.]

He Pingzhang, watching the comments about him in the live chat, was not annoyed. On the contrary, he even enjoyed it.

After all, he quite liked his current status and the level of discussion it brought.

In the past, he could only exert his influence within a small area of the Gu Mansion, but now, he controlled a much larger public opinion arena.

Thrilling.

With this in mind, He Pingzhang curled his lips and continued to announce the rules.

"Additionally, considering that there are not many entertainment activities for everyone on the island, we’ve decided, after discussion, to add some fun, also as a way to pass the time."

"Right now, there’s a roulette wheel behind me. Wherever the pointer lands, that’s the game you’ll play."

As he spoke, another camera quietly activated.

It was inside the director’s room.

The screen immediately showed several staff members and a man sitting in a sofa chair, dressed in a dark brown suit.

He Pingzhang’s face wasn’t shown, but just a glimpse of his body caused countless netizens to scream.

[Ahhh oh my, is that Director He?!]

[I knew Director He was the ascetic type! That suit, that figure, those leather shoes, phenomenal!]

[Damn it, can the camera guy move it up a bit?!]

"Now I’m going to spin the roulette wheel...."

He said, resting his hand on the wheel.

That hand, with distinct knuckles and even veins slightly visible, once again let the audience’s imagination run wild, and in no time, the viewership of the director’s room livestream skyrocketed.

The camera then focused on the wheel.

It was divided into twelve sections, each marked with a different game name—Cat and Mouse, Statue, Hide and Seek, Gomoku, and so on, a wide variety.

He Pingzhang casually spun the pointer, and it came to rest on Truth or Dare.

"Ah, looks like I’ve chosen an interesting game for everyone."

The audience was perplexed.

The contestants were on a deserted island, in a survival reality show, how could they play Truth or Dare?

But He Pingzhang next cleared up the confusion.

"Don’t worry, the game can definitely be played."

"The rules of Truth or Dare are that the guests must find another team within an hour to play the game. The questions to ask and the dares are all updated in your respective watches."

"Each guest who completes the task or truthfully answers a question in each round will receive 200 points; if not, they will lose 200 points."

"Whoever forfeits or fails to find a partner within an hour will be automatically eliminated."

"Have fun playing."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Elimination if one can’t find a partner to play the game within an hour?!

What kind of bizarre rule was this?!

Having heard this, Zhao Lang, who was on his way, sneered right then and there.

Damn that He Pingzhang, using every trick in the book to stop him from meeting Jiang Li!

Where could he find someone to play the game with now?!

On the other side, Team L, who had also left the base after receiving the message, fell silent.

Ren Yue was somewhat speechless.

"Did the new director pull this stunt because he’s afraid the show would lack ratings?"

Shang Shaojing didn’t say a word.

His silence was because he had recognized the voice as He Pingzhang’s from the start.

The replacement of Zheng Xun shocked him, and He Pingzhang’s arrival was even more unexpected.

He knew He Pingzhang was the old man’s assistant, but now he was on a variety show, which was unheard of.

Something big must have happened in the Gu Family while he was away.

Too bad, now stuck on this island, he couldn’t find out anything.

"Since it’s the new rule, let’s just follow it then."
