I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!-Chapter 300: Do You Get It, Tang What

Tang Zi: "Of course I watched it, I also saw the edited versions of the first three episodes. This is my first time on a show like this, so I watched the previous episodes to gain some experience."

Shu Ran arched her delicate long eyebrows: "Then you should have some experience, this episode might be a bit like some of the bizarre segments we encountered last time, you need to be careful."

Shu Ran’s last pat on her shoulder made Tang Zi immediately tense up.

Be careful... be careful of what?

Shu Ran looked at her with a subtle smile on her face.

Little one, as if I don’t know you were taking magazine photos during the show’s airing time last Saturday? You didn’t watch it, there’s no replay before the edited version, what do you know.

After Tang Zi, no one else asked any more questions.

For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward, like when a conversation killer appears in a group chat.

The director, however, breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to the staff in the distance.

Then the staff unveiled the props for the group task.

A board fitted with wheels, very long, with vertical barriers extending from the middle and sides when a button is pressed, dividing the entire board into nine small compartments.

Each compartment conveniently had a table and stool, with a plate covered by a black cloth on the table’s surface.

Beside it were three toothpicks.

The cameraman zoomed in on the compartment direction.

The director waved his hand: "Detailed rules for the group task: Each guest should enter any compartment within one minute and choose the number of roasted garlics they want to eat within five minutes according to their desired group partners. Considering that some might secretly enjoy eating them, the number of roasted garlic on each table is different.

The number of roasted garlics consumed must be either one, three, or five, corresponding to levels of liking, particularly liking, and super fondness.

After tasting, guests who eat the same number of roasted garlics will automatically form a group. If the number eaten doesn’t fall within 1, 3, or 5, the guest will be directly demoted to a roaming NPC, with similar treatment to Guan Yu."

"If the number of guests in a certain number group exceeds three, for example, five people all eat only one roasted garlic.

Then, according to the microcamera records above the compartments, the guest who took the shortest time to eat one garlic will be automatically reassigned to another group and will have to add the same number of roasted garlic at the final BBQ."

...yue~

Mu Qiu seemed to smell the distant garlic aroma, preparing to become a hero who eats roasted garlic, even though she used to only accept garlic-flavored crayfish.

"Director——"

She was about to move forward when Tang Zi jumped out with another question.

"Why is the person who took the shortest time punished this way? Shouldn’t it be the longest? Isn’t this because they hesitated to eat it and should be reassigned to another group?"

Before the director could answer her, Shi Yuhuai, standing beside her, tilted his head and looked down at her with no expression.

"The shortest time indicates they could have eaten the second one but deliberately didn’t. This is the difference between knowingly and making an effort."

Got it, Tang something.

Tang Zi was at a loss for words.

"...That’s how it is, I was thinking in the wrong direction."

"It’s not that you thought in the wrong direction; you were overthinking it. The show’s design must have undergone numerous considerations; it can stand up to scrutiny when aired, so you really don’t need to think so much."

Tang Zi’s expression twisted: "..."

Shu Ran suppressed the curve of her mouth, without changing her expression.

But Mu Qiu felt she must be chanting in her heart: Brother Huai, well done!!! Straight men are the handsomest!

Straight man Huai didn’t think much of it; after finishing, he asked the director: "Can we go?"

"You can, within a minute...wait," the director suddenly stopped and added another rule: "All guests, no peeking at the actions of guests in other compartments. Violators will also be demoted to roaming NPC and add another skewer of roasted garlic at the end."

Li Yang: "How many on a skewer?"

Director: "Our show has a conscience grill, five garlics per skewer."

"...There’s no need to be this conscientious."

[You can tell the show has seriously designed the rules, even eating garlic has been thoroughly thought out... violations too hahaha]

[Director: Some guests just love exploiting rule loopholes, I have to be cautious]

[Tang Zi, don’t be mad, our Brother Huai is just a straightforward fan, don’t lash out at him]

[But I think Brother Huai makes sense, this is the first time in two episodes I’ve heard such an obviously unconsidered question]

[I seem to see Shu Ran from the first and second episodes]

[Looking forward to the BBQ session tonight!!!]

[Whine, so there’s really no swimming party?]

[Sisters, I believe we still have hope! We are just getting started! There are plenty of games to come]

[Brother Huai is truly an earthly green machine, a woman crusher hahahahahaha]

[The other two guest stars are silent, seems like they’re trying to adapt to the show’s rules]

[I have a premonition that once the task begins, the blogger will start letting loose]

[Let me guess how much garlic they can eat, which few will be grouped together/Betting on them with my garlic.jpg]

[From now on, my Brother Mei Yan and Brother Long Legs have a garlic scent...]

[They should have brought breath fresheners hahaha]

[New meme: Director suddenly alert.jpg] 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

[Peeking punishment is even more severe than deliberate offenses, has the director been scared by them hahahahahaha]

[The return of straight man speech, seems like Brother Long Legs needs to spend a fortune on some classes]

[What does Shi Yuhuai’s disdainful look mean? Did the sister offend him? She just didn’t react quickly on her first show.]

[Brother Huai can be a bit overboard sometimes, especially when the other party is just a not-so-bright girl]

[Oh, someone can even read disdain from Brother Huai’s eyes... his expression conveys quite well]

[Is it just a model, very great? Tang Zi is in two shows, top three actor index, so popular, can’t he be a little nicer?]

[Good face is for those who don’t cause trouble and waste his time, do you think everyone looks at the heat and makes deals?]

[Shi Yuhuai isn’t that great either, just a high-end luxury model every year, frequent in big brand ready-to-wear and haute couture shows, merely Jiali’s Crown Prince]

[Who is Tang Zi? Someone tell me? On this show, what is she? Compared to her, I could deeply love Shu Ran]

The rules earlier mention the roasted garlics laid out on the table are taken off skewers one by one, hence the toothpicks. The warning later refers to a skewer of five, not a typo.
