The difference in their results was huge. Hence, after Yu Han was the first to run and achieved that shocking result, their team had long locked onto the rankings. No matter how Su Lan struggled, it was all in vain.
At this moment, everyone also understood what was going on. They could not help but admire the brains of the people in Yu Han’s team. Why did they not discover this hidden rule?
Hence, they all protested to the production team, especially Mai Tian’s team, who had lost. Just as they descended from the sky to the ground, Mai Tian rushed to Director You Jing and pointed at him with his hands on his hips.
“Little Yu cleared the level like that just now. It was clearly considered cheating, but you still let her pass. If you want to say that this is Little Yu’s ability, I admire her, so I acknowledge her results. However, the competition rules set by your director team actually have such a huge loophole. We’re not convinced by this outcome. This is clearly your director team’s fault!”
“Yes, it’s the director’s mistake this time. You have to give us an explanation and compensate us for our mental damage.” Zhang Yuan did not expect that she would have to face eating disgusting bugs in the afternoon after avoiding the terrifying snake in the morning.
She wished she could pour that can of worms on You Jing. It was a rare opportunity to catch the director’s team’s mistake. She definitely had to take the opportunity to make things difficult for him. It would be best if she could get You Jing to cancel this punishment.
However, was Director You Jing someone who would give in so easily? No, he wasn’t.
Hence, he wore sunglasses and looked like he didn’t love anyone. He crossed his arms and looked at them disdainfully. “There’s nothing wrong with the rules set by the production team. You didn’t pay attention to the rules carefully, so you didn’t discover this hidden rule. You can’t blame us. You can only blame yourselves for being too careless.”
Their production team’s planner was the top team in the industry. How could they not discover such a huge loophole in the rules? The reason why they did not say it in advance was to see which team could discover this problem first.
He patted the indignant Mai Tian’s shoulder. “If you ask me, you’ve been on the show for many years. You can’t even see such a small loophole. You shouldn’t have lost to a newcomer.”
Mai Tian snorted angrily and glared at him. He replied unhappily, “Who knew that you would use the rules to trick us?”
You Jing did not admit that. “Haven’t you violated enough of the rules set by our production team? Don’t be double standards.”
In the end, You Jing suppressed all the guests’ opinions alone. Everyone had no choice but to accept the outcome of this competition.
The four people from Song Xu’s team, who had won first place, went to enjoy all kinds of spicy jerky happily. Meanwhile, the four people from Mai Tian’s team stood in front of the glass jar of worms with ugly expressions.
As for Yu Han’s team, they obtained second place, so the benefits and disadvantages had nothing to do with them.
Hence, the four of them squatted in the middle and watched as Song Xu and the rest ate the delicious dried meat. Their saliva flowed all over the ground, and they wished they could replace them. Then, they turned around and saw Mai Tian picking out the worms from the glass tube with trembling hands. They instantly lost their appetite.
Mai Tian looked at the worms that were still squirming crazily on his chopsticks. He wished he could stretch his arm three meters away and keep this thing away from them. He broke down and shouted at You Jing, “Director, there has to be 500 grams to a kilogram of this thing. We’ll die if we eat it all, right?”
You Jing only wanted to tease them and see them suffer, so he didn’t want to drive them into a desperate situation. Hence, he said generously and kindly, “You don’t have to finish all of them. You can just eat one each as a token.”
Seeing that the production team had given in, Zhang Yuan had an idea and quickly raised her hand to ask, “Director, there’s no explicit requirement for everyone in the team to eat this punishment, right?”
“Well…” As soon as he said this, You Jing dragged out his voice and sized up the four of them.
Mai Tian, Zuo Li, and Su Lan’s eyes lit up when they heard that, especially Su Lan. She was about to say something polite and magnanimous out of habit when she recalled how Mai Tian had undermined her several times previously. It would not be worth it if Mai Tian followed her words and really pushed the task of eating worms to her.
Hence, she immediately swallowed her words, wondering if there was a way for her to succeed. Meanwhile, Zhang Yuan had already taken the lead and pushed the glass bowl to Mai Tian. She said bitterly, “Brother, you’ll always be our good brother. We’re all counting on you..”
