The six guests arrived at the prop station and began to select their modes of transportation.
In fact, there is not much difference between this game and the previous dragon boat race. It’s just that the competition of speed has been shifted from water to land.
This amusement park may seem winding and twisting, but the main routes are clear. As long as you follow the main path, it’s the shortest distance. Therefore, the key to winning ultimately depends on the speed that the mode of transportation can provide.
【I’ll keep my eyes wide open and see how everyone chooses.】
【As long as they’re not foolish, they’ll definitely choose fast modes of transportation.】
【That’s the principle of big investment for big returns.】
【I feel the tension in this segment is no less than the previous one. Last time it was about eating, this time it’s definitely about accommodation. Who wouldn’t want to have a better place to stay?】
【Investing once for multiple returns. If it were me, I’d go all in.】
Everyone began to make their choices.
Wang Wensheng was the most proactive; he headed straight for the prop station.
He pointed to the electric skateboard and said, “I’ll take this one.”
He felt triumphant because right next to the electric skateboard was a bicycle.
Wang Wensheng calculated that the electric skateboard would definitely be faster than the bicycle.
He was about to pay, but Li Yiyun also approached, saying, “I want an electric skateboard too.”
Wang Wensheng responded, “I was the first to choose.”
He was afraid that Li Yiyun would snatch it, so he handed over the game money directly.
At this point, the staff member in charge of selling goods said, “Don’t rush, we have plenty of supplies. You can all choose freely.”
【Hahaha, what’s Wang Wensheng in a hurry for?】
【It wasn’t said there was only one, right? Just this? And he claims to have participated in many variety shows?】
“Brother Sheng” earning the title of “variety show jinx” can’t blame others; it’s just his own brain not working well enough to keep up.
Li Yiyun also paid the rental fee of 400 yuan for the electric skateboard.
Immediately after, Zhao Mengran came over and said, “I also want the electric skateboard.”
Ding Yaxin chose a bicycle, adhering to the principle of saving wherever possible. She opted for the cheapest bicycle, with a rental fee of only 100 yuan.
Scholar Zhou Hao, the last one to arrive, walked directly to the side of the prop station and declared, “I want this!”
The crowd gasped, “It’s a car?!”
It was only then that everyone noticed there was a two-seater car placed at the entrance of the prop station. Although it was compact, it was still a car after all. The speed it provided was definitely incomparable to other means of transportation.
Zhou Hao asked, “How much is the rental fee for this car?”
The staff pointed to the price tag under the car and replied, “3000 yuan.”
Everyone noticed that there was a price tag under the car. Actually, everyone did see the car earlier, but because the car wasn’t in the prop station, the guests thought the car was just a decoration conveniently parked next to the prop station.
No one expected that the car would also be among the choices for transportation.
Except for Ding Yaxin, everyone else had already realized that this was essentially a pay-to-win game. As long as you were willing to spend money, you could definitely secure first place, and obtaining first place meant rich rewards.
Everyone now feels a bit regretful because they didn’t observe carefully enough, even overlooking this small car.
This scenario is quite similar to the first round, where Cheng Youyou’s choice of electric motor was something everyone had completely overlooked before.
But the money has already been paid, and everyone can’t back out now.
However, Wang Wensheng doesn’t care about these things. Having participated in so many variety shows, he can’t just be easily fooled by the director, right?
Wang Wensheng proposed, “There must be more than one car available at your prop station, right?”
Director Wang: “Correct.”
【Wang Wensheng got smart this time, he figured it out.】
【Oh wow, I didn’t see that coming.】
【Has Wang Wensheng’s brain been enlightened?】
Wang Wensheng: “I want to exchange it for the car.”
Director Wang: “You can’t exchange it, but if you want the car, you can purchase it separately for 3000. However, the electric skateboard fee you paid earlier is non-refundable once consumed.”
Wang Wensheng: “… This sucks.”
【I suspect the production team is targeting Wang Wensheng.】
【It’s not targeted; Wang Wensheng is just really foolish, hahaha.】
Wang Wensheng went all out to take first place. In the end, he reluctantly forked out 3000 yuan for car rental fees.
【Hahaha, Wang Wensheng is digging his own grave, isn’t he?】
【Isn’t this similar to how he dealt with Cheng Youyou just now? Why does he keep digging himself into holes?】
【Huh, where’s Cheng Youyou? Disappeared again?】
【Yeah, Cheng Youyou hasn’t chosen her mode of transportation yet.】
【Cheng Youyou seems to have some great wisdom. She figured out the game’s routine in the last round. Let’s see how she chooses this time.】
Director Wang panned the camera around until he found Cheng Youyou, who was leisurely chatting with the staff member responsible for selling goods at the prop station.
“Hey, sister, can you please tell me about the fun places in the amusement park?”
Staff: “Don’t interrupt me while I’m recording the show.”
The staff responsible for selling goods isn’t a member of the program team; she’s an employee of the amusement park. This time, she was temporarily brought in to act as an NPC.
Cheng Youyou said, “But recording the program doesn’t prevent you from introducing the attractions, does it?”
The staff couldn’t find any flaws in her statement, so she began to ponder. As a staff member, if she couldn’t even introduce their own amusement park, wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing?
Then the staff became enthusiastic, and she introduced all the fun attractions in the amusement park to her.
Cheng Youyou listened attentively, even taking out the map of the amusement park from her pocket and marking the attractions with a pen.
【Based on Cheng Youyou’s performance in the previous segment, I don’t think she’s just chatting idly.】
【Cheng Youyou might be playing mind games; she’s probably asking the staff about transportation options more powerful than cars.】
【Cheng Youyou is a big spender; she’s definitely going to uncover the secrets hidden by the production team.】
【Let’s watch closely, Cheng Youyou is about to make a move, and she’s definitely going to reveal the fastest mode of transportation in this program.】
【Let’s guess what she’ll finally choose. Could it be a supercar with super-fast speed?】
It seems like Wang Wensheng has also figured it out. Even though he may not want to admit it openly, he understands that Cheng Youyou possesses some intelligence. Therefore, this time he also wants to closely follow Cheng Youyou’s choice and win together.
Wang Wensheng stopped Cheng Youyou and exclaimed, “Stop chatting, it’s time for you to choose your mode of transportation.”
Wang Wensheng watched intently.
The audience watching the live broadcast and online viewers were also eagerly awaiting.
And then…
Cheng Youyou held the map and said, “I choose to walk.”
……
The atmosphere fell extremely quiet; nobody expected Cheng Youyou to make this choice.
【Did I hear it correctly, choosing to walk?】
【I’ve been waiting all this time just to hear that?】
Next, Director Wang said, “You can choose to walk, as it doesn’t require any props, so Cheng Youyou chooses not to spend a penny this round.”
In her mind, Ding Yaxin screamed at her own mistake. She could have walked as well; if she had known that walking was free, she would have preferred to walk.
