I've Gone Viral Because of a Money-Saving Variety Show-Chapter 12 - : The Contestant Who Starved for Nine Meals in Three Days!
Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The Contestant Who Starved for Nine Meals in Three Days!
The next morning.
The public screen in the live room displayed the popularity voting results from yesterday.
[Money Saving Battle: First place Chen Xixi, second place Wan Chen, third place Jin Cheng, fourth place Han Qianyi, fifth place Zheng He.]
[OMG! Chen Xixi got first place! Did she buy some fake votes or something? Are these numbers for real?]
[Isn't it normal? The most memorable ones in this variety show so far are her and Zheng He, but I really don't want to vote for Zheng He; he seems a bit too cunning for my taste.]
[If Han Qianyi wasn't too kind-hearted, I would have voted for her, considering her beauty really fits my aesthetics, alas, what a pity.]
[I can understand the others, but how did that Jin Cheng get third place? He hasn't even shown his face, why?]
[emmm... mainly because he's so mysterious, I'm full of curiosity about him, so I decided to vote for him.]
[Hahaha, I'm different! I think his voice is really nice and magnetic, I feel like he must be a handsome guy, so I voted for him hahaha!]
As the popularity vote results came out, netizens had various reactions, and the guests also saw the results online.
In the room at the innermost part of the third floor.
Chen Xixi never expected to get first place in popularity, considering her overly thrifty behavior that would surely be found intolerable and disdainful by many netizens.
But for the five million prize money, let alone displaying thrifty freeloading behavior in the program, she would do anything as long as it wasn't illegal.
So before joining the program, she was mentally prepared for the scolding from netizens.
After a quick wash-up, Chen Xixi went downstairs to the kitchen and fried two eggs to eat. At noon, she went to Fuxiyuan Hotpot Barbecue Restaurant for barbecue.
Today at noon the restaurant wasn't as crowded as yesterday, maybe because Old Zheng canceled the event yesterday.
However, Chen Xixi noticed that the word puzzle free meal event was hung up again at the entrance of the store.
[Ah! So the free event is back on? I'm going to ask my bestie to go eat tonight!]
[I want to go too, this time I must snag that free meal!]
Soon after Chen Xixi arrived, Zheng He also came, but...
Zheng He was stopped outside again.
Because he couldn't solve the word puzzle.
Having to test your IQ just to eat barbecue, Old Zheng really impressed him with this event.
Moreover, couldn't Old Zheng just make it a little easier for him, or maybe sneak him a cheat sheet with the answers!
After furiously internal criticism, Zheng He stood outside with a gloomy face for almost an hour, waiting until Chen Xixi was full and left, he didn't even step inside.
This was quite awkward.
It looks like the back door isn't that easy to take advantage of either.
The second time standing at his own doorstep and not being able to return home for a meal made Zheng He feel like turning to the dark side.
And even more miraculously, the next day, everyone's bank balance remained unchanged.
Chen Xixi had her eggs and a free meal pass.
Wan Chen had his own instant noodles.
Han Qianyi likewise.
Zheng He shamelessly freeloaded Han Qianyi's instant noodles.
As for the mysterious guest Jin Cheng, he still hadn't shown his face, nor spent any money, maintaining the same mystery as yesterday.
Compared to the unremarkable thrifty daily lives of the first four guests, the unusual Jin Cheng immediately caught the netizens' attention.
[OMG! This Jin Cheng is really something, not going out, not spending money, is he in a fasting period maybe?]
[Won't someone knock on his door? I'm a bit worried something happened to him in the room.]
[This guy isn't practicing some weird techniques in his room, is he?]
[This man successfully got my attention, tonight I'm definitely giving him my popularity vote!]
[Mysterious man, I admit you've got some tricks, you've successfully piqued my curiosity to its peak about a stranger!]
People always fill with imagination and expectation towards persons and things shrouded in mystery.
So on the third day of the live broadcast of the show, Jin Cheng's popularity suddenly skyrocketed to second place, and there was even a trend of surpassing Chen Xixi.
Just because this man was too mysterious.
Not only were the netizens curious, Chen Xixi was also very curious.
She worried that he would never show up, not spending a single dime. Being able to endure this, he might be a deeply hidden and calculative penny pinching master.
Such a low-profile person is usually the Chosen One.
Or perhaps, he might be preparing some grand move, catching them all off guard when he reveals it.
This made her feel a bit uneasy.
[It's been three days, why hasn't Jin Cheng shown his face yet?]
[I just want to know what exactly this guy is up to? Three days not leaving the room, not spending money, doesn't he need to eat?]
[It seems that Jin Cheng has some skills, looks like the participants of this show are no ordinary people...]
However, in the dead of night when everyone was filled with curiosity about Jin Cheng, suddenly, the faint sound of a siren echoed from outside the accommodations.
That sound seemed like it was from a 120 emergency ambulance.
And it got closer and closer until—
Chen Xixi heard frantic footsteps downstairs, and she suddenly realized that something must have happened.
She quickly changed clothes and went downstairs, only to see the paramedics carrying a stretcher out from the second floor.
On the stretcher was a lean and tall young man.
Even though the young man's eyes were closed, and his face looked lifeless, his deep-set and stereo facial features could still reveal his handsome appearance.
The room deep inside on the second floor seemed to be Jin Cheng's.
Chen Xixi grabbed Wan Chen, who was in pajamas, and quickly asked, "What happened?"

Wan Chen rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "This guy fasted nine meals in three days and fainted from hunger..."
Originally, Wan Chen was just curious about why there had been no sign of Jin Cheng for three days and went to knock on his door. After not getting a response for a long time, he worried something had happened to Jin Cheng, so he directly broke down the door and found Jin Cheng unconscious, then immediately called 120.
"..."
Okay, forget about any Chosen One or deeply hidden and calculative master, she retracted her earlier thought.
[I was just drinking water, and I spat it out! I thought of ten thousand possibilities, but never imagined he'd faint from hunger just to save money, he's really a master!]
[The handsome guy looks pretty handsome, it's just... his brain doesn't seem too great?]
[This is hard to judge...]
[Ahhhh! But he's really handsome! And his voice is so nice too!]
[(Boss slams the table) Hurry up and save this handsome guy! Otherwise, I'll make everyone in your program crew join him in the afterlife!]
The paramedics lifted Jin Cheng into the ambulance, then turned and asked the other four guests, "Who will accompany him to the hospital?"
Going together would mean having to pay for medical expenses.
When 120 arrived just now, it was clear that everyone was worried for Jin Cheng, but as soon as money was mentioned, they all looked at each other silently.
Zheng He turned his head to look at the assistant director standing behind the camera, "Shouldn't the program crew handle this since the incident happened during the show?"
The assistant director frowned, then said, "We already signed a contract before recording the program, any problems caused by personal reasons during the program must be handled by you all yourselves."
The assistant director said this on the surface, but actually, when the 120 arrived, he had already intercepted the paramedics and had deliberately asked them this question.
In reality, whether or not the other four guests accompanied him, Jin Cheng would still be sent to the hospital, the program crew wouldn't let a living person actually have something serious happen on their crew.
But now, the moment to test human nature had arrived.
The chief director thought, this could be a perfect moment to create a dramatic point for the show.
As soon as the assistant director finished speaking, Chen Xixi ran back upstairs without saying another word.
[Is Chen Xixi running away because she's afraid of accompanying Jin Cheng to the hospital and having to help pay for medical expenses?]
[As expected, when faced with money, people show their ugliest side.]
[Chen Xixi has really disappointed me, I'm never casting my popularity votes for her again!]
[I won't watch her shows anymore! If I ever enter her live stream again, I'm a dog!!]
