Chapter 58 Hidden Perks

Tong Ya's answer was something Li Chuxi could never have anticipated.

"That settles it, then."

At this moment, Sun Yang immediately jumped in and made the final decision.

Although leaving Li Chuxi isolated on her own could generate quite a bit of buzz, it would make it impossible for the show to proceed smoothly. Now that a team was willing to take her in, it was naturally the best possible outcome.

Li Chuxi had no objections to this and slowly walked over to join Shen Xingcan and Tong Ya's team.

Shen Xingcan was very happy about Li Chuxi's joining. He originally wanted to talk to her, but seeing that she had no intention of paying him any mind, he kept his mouth shut.

"Alright, now that the teams are all set, hurry up and get ready to move out!" Sun Yang smiled with a hint of slyness. "After all, a thirty-kilometer journey is no short distance. If you don't start walking now, there's no telling if you'll even make it to Peach Blossom Village by tonight!"

"Director, this is simply too hard," Dong Jian protested, speaking up. "You said it yourself, that's a thirty-kilometer trek! With no money and no cell phones on us, how could we possibly make it?"

"That all depends on your own abilities!" Sun Yang spread his hands, wearing a completely shameless expression. "Those are the rules of the game."

"Besides, I haven't restricted the methods you can use to get there! Just put your heads together and figure something out, you'll get there eventually. Oh, right—"

As if suddenly remembering something, Sun Yang slapped his own forehead.

A sudden jolt went through everyone's hearts, terrified that the director was cooking up something else to torment them.

Observing everyone's reaction, Sun Yang didn't get angry at all; he still wore a beaming smile. "There's no need to be scared, it's nothing bad. Our production crew is still very humane, after all."

"For example?" Liu Haochu chimed in, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Are you willing to offer us a little bit of help?"

Even giving them a few bucks to take the bus would be fine!

"Of course." Sun Yang nodded. "The production crew will provide you with free accommodation."

Hearing this, everyone was thoroughly disappointed. However, the letdown wasn't that severe; after all, they had long since guessed that this wretched director wouldn't be that kind-hearted.

"Uhm, Director?" Zhong Mingxi raised her hand and spoke cautiously. "This free accommodation—what kind of place is it, exactly?"

She had a strong feeling the director wouldn't be that benevolent.

"Hehe, we have three different locations in total," Sun Yang announced with a smiling face. "There's a rural villa, a rural one-story cottage, and a rural thatched hut."

"In the interest of fairness, the production team has decided on a first-come, first-served basis. Whichever team reaches Peach Blossom Village first gets to pick their lodging first. Consider this a hidden perk for coming in first place!"

"Ah~~~"

Instantly, a chorus of groans erupted across the scene.

They hadn't even figured out how to get over there yet, and now their living arrangements were tied to it as well.

"Stop wailing over here," Sun Yang said with a mischievous grin. "What you need to do right now is figure out how to get yourselves across as fast as possible."

"The crew will go ahead to Peach Blossom Village and wait for you there. Keep it up!"

With that, he led his crew away.

Naturally, he didn't forget to leave behind camera crews to follow each of the three teams.

Hovering right above the heads of these celebrity guests, drones were also capturing every move.

Before long, only the members of the three teams were left standing there, staring blankly at one another. For a moment, no one made a single move.
