Chapter 479: Punishment
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The reason why Mai Tian knew that Zhang Yuan had sprained her ankle was because he had unintentionally heard Zhang Yuan’s assistant making a call. Since Zhang Yuan was unwilling to reveal this matter to the public, Mai Tian had no intention of exposing her. However, he still decided to take care of her in secret.
Zhang Yuan was not a stupid person to have been in this show for so long. Hence, she guessed that Mai Tian must have known that she was injured. After thinking for a while, she decided to secretly thank Mai Tian, the considerate big brother.
All of this was a private conversation between Mai Tian and Zhang Yuan, so no one else knew.
Hence, Su Lan suspected that Mai Tian was deliberately ostracizing and targeting an outsider like her when she saw that Mai Tian had given the simpler second segment to Zhang Yuan. She was already paranoid about Mai Tian deliberately snatching the simple mission just to take care of his own people.
She was a little unconvinced, especially since she had drawn the difficult fourth segment. However, the other three people in the group had no objections, so she could not say anything.
After the competition began, after Zhang Yuan, who was originally the main support, did not play her role, their group quickly fell behind by a lot. Hence, there was not enough time left after Zuo Li, who was in the first round, and Zhang Yuan, who was in the second round.
When Mai Tian saw this situation, he immediately gave up on the idea of doing his best and started to put on a lousy show to maximize the effect of the variety show. Hence, when Yu Han’s team successfully cleared the stage, their team was still struggling in the third stage. Mai Tian was using his body to try his best to be funny.
After the first round, the two failed teams conducted a technical summary.
“At our speed just now, I’m afraid it will be very difficult to clear the level in a limited time.” Su Lan was the first to point this out. “Hence, we have to think of other ways.”
Zhang Yuan was a little dejected. Although she had already tried her best to ignore the pain in her feet, she still could not move freely. She still could not exert any strength in her feet. This seriously slowed her down and dragged down the team’s results.
She was about to apologize to the team members when Mai Tian jumped out first. “Sigh, it’s all my fault for dragging you guys down. If I could move more quickly, I should be able to move much faster.”
Su Lan originally wanted to take this opportunity to change the competition segment. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell who the problem was. However, she did not expect Mai Tian to take the initiative to take responsibility.
Hence, Su Lan could only hold back what she wanted to say.
“Let’s go, let’s cheer them on.” On the other side, Jiang Li held a cold drink in her hand and pulled Yu Han and Song Yun to watch the other two groups.
As for how the cold drink came about? This was the reward specially provided by the director team after their team had just won first place.
As the executive director of the show, You Jing had always advocated a clear reward and punishment style. The team that won first place would receive very good rewards, usually local delicacies or specialties, while the last place would receive harsh punishment.
For example, at this moment, he held a loudspeaker with his hands on his hips and looked at the remaining two teams with a serious expression. “The reward for first place has already been revealed. At the same time, I’ll reveal the punishment in advance.”
With a wave of his hand, four to five staff members behind him pushed out a wooden box the size of a small house with a blue cloth cover on it.
Everyone guessed curiously what was inside.
“You still have two chances. The team that used the most time will have to accept the punishment. Of course, if you can clear the level in less time than the film crew, you can avoid the punishment even if you’re last.”
“As for the punishment, what is it?” You Jing stood in front of the cart. “The team that loses will have to stay in this terrifying box for 10 minutes!”
He tore off the blue cloth cover with one hand. Everyone looked at the thing behind him and immediately screamed in fear.
Oh my god, it was not a wooden box. It was a small glass room, and there were several artificial branches scattered in the glass room.
Of course, there was nothing to be surprised about if there were only these things. The problem was that there were snakes crawling around the branches and under the tree!
With the naked eye, there were probably 20 to 30 snakes inside. Looking at the densely packed snakes, those who didn’t know better would think that they had poked their nests.
Once this thing was released, not to mention the female guests, even the bold and fixed guests like Mai Tian’s expression changed. He pointed at the glass room with a trembling finger.. “Director, is there a need for you to play so boldly?”
