Chapter 264: Chapter 243: Scientific Quiz Grinding to Ward Off Evil and Disaster

Among the guests, only Zhu Xiu’an and Bai Zhe were absent, given their eagerness when heading out, it’s likely one of them. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Sheng Yaoyao nodded in agreement, "I just wonder who ended up buying it?"

Le Qiqi spoke first: "Zhu Xiu’an, probably. He seemed really determined. He should be able to snag it!"

Sheng Yaoyao shared the same thought as Le Qiqi, "I’ve seen Xiao Yue really fired up this episode. I’ll guess Xiao Yue too!"

Fang Zhuyue wasn’t too keen on supporting Bai Zhe, but compared to supporting Zhu Xiu’an, she preferred guessing Zhu Xiu’an’s dialogue, so she said, "I think it’s still Bai Zhe."

Guan Fengyan was swayed, and cheerfully guessed, "Then I’ll go with Bai Zhe too!"

You Yingmeng shook his head, "I can’t guess."

Zhong Yulu was affected by a dream, and now his mind was still chaotic, so he didn’t speak.

Everyone assumed it was because he was tired from getting up early and completing a punishment task, so they didn’t pay attention to it.

After the guesses were made, everyone looked at Ji Xizhi, their eyes full of anticipation.

Ji Xizhi saw their eager expressions, then looked up at the big supermarket sign down the road, feeling a bit helpless, "We’ll know when we take a look."

[Zhi Zhi: It’s just a few steps, do you really need to guess here?!]

[I’m dying of laughter, Ji Xizhi has become the rational parent of this big family now!]

[It’s understandable, after all, Zhi Zhi was the one who brought back five bucks of huge spending money last time, satisfying everyone’s snack cravings~]

The guesses for Zhu Xiu’an and Bai Zhe were tied at 2 to 2.

Ji Xizhi didn’t guess, so there was no result.

Le Qiqi persistently insisted that Ji Xizhi take a guess.

Ji Xizhi straightforwardly said, "Zhu Xiu’an."

[Ah, so sweet! When Silly Dog replays this segment, he’ll definitely be moved!]

[Though, hopefully Zhu Xiu’an remains calm. I know you’re moved, but don’t be too moved—because...]

Le Qiqi was so happy about Ji Xizhi being on the same page that she cheered without even asking Ji Xizhi why she chose Zhu Xiu’an; as long as Ji Xizhi chose the same, she’s happy.

On the side, Fang Zhuyue felt a little down for not being united with Ji Xizhi but quickly adjusted and followed everyone to the program group’s supermarket.

The walk from the road to the supermarket wasn’t far.

The other guests walked together, and they hadn’t even reached the door when they heard Zhu Xiu’an’s excited cheers.

"Though it’s mine, you deserve credit too. We’re still good brothers!"

No need to say more, everyone knew Zhu Xiu’an snagged the one-dollar crystal lamp.

But it wasn’t easy for him to get it.

Originally, he and Bai Zhe set off at the same time, running neck and neck, but nearing the finish, a giant goose from a neighboring village family flew out and pecked his thigh, letting Bai Zhe arrive at the supermarket first.

Under normal circumstances, Bai Zhe should’ve secured the purchase.

Unfortunately, Bai Zhe forgot he didn’t have money on him. He had already given all his money to Zhu Xiu’an at the salted fish stall, leaving him with nothing.

Ultimately, it was the injured Zhu Xiu’an who claimed everything.

When the guests heard the buying process, they didn’t know whether Zhu Xiu’an was more pitiful or Bai Zhe more unfortunate.

Sheng Yaoyao glanced at Ji Xizhi unpredictably and asked, "Zhi Zhi, when you guessed Zhu Xiu’an would buy the crystal lamp, was it because..."

Ji Xizhi replied, "Yep, Bai Zhe had no money."

Everyone’s focus was on the buying of the special offer, and the program team even reminded that flying guests could participate, so no one thought much about it, even the flying guests themselves didn’t realize they couldn’t even spare a dollar.

Only Ji Xizhi remembered, among the flying guests, besides Fang Zhuyue, they all had no money left.

[So Bai Zhe worked hard for what, really!]

Bai Zhe almost couldn’t keep his emotions in check when he heard Sheng Yaoyao and Ji Xizhi’s conversation.

He went all out for the crystal lamp because of Ji Xizhi, yet Ji Xizhi knew he had no money and didn’t warn him!

Bai Zhe held some grudge against Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi didn’t realize that he had shifted roles in Bai Zhe’s mind several times, and wouldn’t care even if he knew.

Ji Xizhi was focused on the program group’s supermarket, where only a small window was open at the front. She glanced through the window, feeling something was odd but couldn’t pinpoint it.

Until the program group handed the so-called special offer crystal lamp from the window to the victorious Zhu Xiu’an.

Zhu Xiu’an fell silent.

The other guests also fell silent.

Sheng Yaoyao looked at Ji Xizhi and, belatedly, exclaimed, "Zhi Zhi, you didn’t go for the crystal lamp for this reason, thank you, Zhi Zhi~"

If she had this lamp in the room she was redecorating, she’d probably never want to step into that room again.

Ji Xizhi: "." That really wasn’t the reason, but now, maybe this reason is better.

Because the crystal lamp handed over by the program group was too shocking; it was made of six crystal golden koi fish decorated with countless shell lotus sculptures, oozing wealth and grandeur.

Even Zhu Xiu’an, usually a straightforward man, couldn’t utter a word.

After holding back for a while, Zhu Xiu’an glanced at Bai Zhe: "Buddy, this lamp... maybe I’d better let you have it!"

Bai Zhe: ".........No."

[Hahahahahahahahaha this koi crystal lamp, damn, my mom said she wanted to buy it once, and I almost cried pleading her not to, didn’t think I’d see it in buyer’s showcase!]

[The program group’s traps, I’ll never foresee, what you think losing isn’t losing, what you think winning isn’t winning, let’s congratulate Silly Dog!]

[Normally, the buying rights would be Ji Xizhi’s, had she not aced the quiz this time, it would’ve been Zhu Xiu’an’s, what does this teach us? Sisters, acing quizzes can ward off evil and disaster!]

[You’re insightful with that summary! Actually, my luck hasn’t been good lately, maybe a light quiz session will help!]

[I’m joining too! Just screenshotted Ji Xizhi’s quiz, come to the forum to get it yourself! Exchange answers~]

Suddenly, viewers in the livestream started becoming superstitious.

#quizexperiencewardsoffevil# soared to the top of trending topics, which the program group didn’t expect at all.

The program group had predicted all possible trending topics for this scene, like #JiXizhiQuizLive#, #ZhuXiuanSuccess#, #BaiZheMissesOutForADollar#, all of which could trend.

But warding off evil? What nonsense is this?! How did it get all mystical! They were doing a science livestream!!!

Passing by netizens seeing this topic felt as confused as the program crew, thinking a lifestyle show promoting superstition seemed inappropriate?

After commenting like this, they clicked in to watch for a bit, especially seeing Zhu Xiu’an holding the high-end crystal lamp.

Netizens quickly deleted previous comments.

Maybe they should also believe in superstition!

Scientific quiz practice, ward off evil!
