Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Princess Wen, Your Lunch is Escaping!

Jiang Yan and Wen Jiaojiao, one so smug he was almost ascending to the heavens, the other’s morale so low it was as if a storm had just passed through.

And this was exactly the scene Director Sun wanted to see.

This show was being broadcast live, so they couldn’t use a script in advance to create conflict.

Thus, they could only plan some tasks to provoke conflicts among the guests, making the variety show worth watching.

But the others didn’t want to worry that much.

As the sun climbed higher, Qi Tianyu, pale-faced, raised his hand. “Director, how are we solving lunch? It’s not going to be bread again, is it?”

As soon as these words fell, everyone quieted down.

Clearly, eating had become their most pressing issue.

After all, since leaving the Capital till now, they hadn’t had a proper meal.

Director Sun chuckled, “You’ve all worked hard half the day. Our show crew isn’t that cruel; of course, there’s lunch.”

Qi Tianyu cheered.

Director Sun then gestured to a worker on the side, and the next second, a trolley was pushed over.

“Of course, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. What you eat for lunch depends on your scores.”

The group let out a collective sigh of defeat.

Shu Yan complained in a coquettish voice, “Director, isn’t your crew too heartless? Everything has to be bought, and the prices are set so high, we’ve only earned a few points after working hard all morning.”

“We set prices with a conscience, don’t worry, it will definitely satisfy you.”

Saying this, he moved over to the cart and lifted the red cloth covering it.

“Please have a look, Set Meal #1, Potato Chicken Rice, 1 point.”

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

The price was indeed not expensive.

[Wow, has the crew had a change of heart? Such a large serving of Potato Chicken Rice for only 1 point.]

[Why do I smell a hint of conspiracy? You see how sleazy Director Sun’s smile is.]

[I’m starting to feel sorry for the guests. They work themselves to death farming, only to be schemed against by the crew.]

Then, Director Sun lifted the lid of a second pot.

“Set Meal #2, Curry Beef Rice, 1.5 points.”

A murmur of awe erupted from the crowd.

Qi Tianyu had already swallowed several times in anticipation.

Along with Wen Jiaojiao, who wasn’t so angry anymore, started to consider which dish she was going to exchange her points for.

When Director Sun revealed the Seafood Deluxe Set Meal #5, several people started cheering.

Qi Tianyu exclaimed, “Damn, the Seafood Deluxe for just 3 points?! The show crew is too generous this time, aren’t they?”

Shu Yan added, “But these seem to have a lot of calories. Director Sun, can’t you prepare some low-calorie, fat-reducing meals?”

Wen Jiaojiao snorted, “Hmph, as if you guys can compete with me for the feast.”

And Jiang Yan also scoffed, “Don’t forget you only have 8 points now. After you exchange for the Seafood Deluxe, you might be left catching the Northwest wind.”

Wen Jiaojiao glared at him fiercely, “Mind your own business.”

[Help, fam, why do I feel this pair also has some good chemistry?]

[CP can be niche but not wicked.]

[Why is it wicked? Bratty rich young master vs. arrogant princess with Princess Disease, I’m totally for it, fam.]

[Hahaha I’m dying, you guys ‘ship’ anything. The young master and the princess would faint from anger if they saw this.]

“Seems like everyone’s in high spirits,” Director Sun continued with a smile, “Let me announce the exchange rules then.”

“Following the rule of helping the disadvantaged, so, the one with the lowest score from this morning gets to choose their desired meal first. Each set meal is only available once, and once exchanged, it’s gone.”

Now it was Wen Jiaojiao’s turn to cheer jubilantly.

“I told you the Seafood Deluxe is mine. Just watch me enjoy the feast!”

Wen Jiaojiao strutted forward with her chin held high.

Qi Tianyu sighed repeatedly, “My seafood tycoon.”

Shu Yan lamented, “Ah, this is the lowest-calorie set meal, I really envy Jiaojiao.”

Jiang Yan complained indignantly, poking Jiang Li, “I want to eat too, you can even pick mushrooms, can’t you catch a bucket of seafood for me?”

As expected, he received Jiang Li’s cold indifference.

The second to go exchange was Shu Yan, and after some thought, she chose a portion of Zhajiang noodles.

Qi Tianyu got himself a curry beef rice.

Jiang Yan also exchanged for something he thought was not too bad.

Only two set meals were left. He Yun glanced at them before looking towards Jiang Li.

“Which one do you want?”

The live broadcast room erupted in shrieks.

[Ah ah ah ah ah, I’m shipping them so hard, he’s asking Jiang Li which one she wants!]

[Please, Mr. He is just being a gentleman. Because he’s right behind her, he asked. If it were any other two guests, he would ask them too.]

Jiang Li shook her head, “It’s okay, you choose first. I’m fine with either.”

She always felt that things were not that simple.

Better to wait and see.

When she looked up at Director Sun’s face and did a little mental calculation, she was even more certain of it.

Looking at the five people beside her, as happy as children, Jiang Li decided to keep the truth to herself.

“Now that everyone has made their choices, let’s have the staff bring the stuff up.”

“Yes, yes,” everyone chorused.

Only Qi Tianyu showed a trace of suspicion, “Weird, why did the director say ‘stuff’?”

Wen Jiaojiao was first in line, hurrying forward.

“Quick, quick, my seafood tycoon.”

She planned to eat every single abalone in front of these people, especially that Jiang Li!

However, the next second, Director Sun handed her a red plastic bucket.

It was full of seafood.

More importantly, it was all alive and kicking!

There was even an eel already climbing up the side of the bucket.

Wen Jiaojiao, who could not stand such slimy, live creatures, screamed and flung the bucket out of her hands.

A bucket full of seafood spilled out onto the floor.

Seeing the belt fish flapping on the ground and the crabs scurrying about, the rest were dumbfounded.

“Director, didn’t you say it was a seafood tycoon?” Qi Tianyu asked with his mouth wide open.

Director Sun narrowed his eyes, “Isn’t this a seafood tycoon? There’s abalone, eels, crabs, isn’t that tycoon enough?”

“Hang on.” Shu Yan swallowed hard, her face stiffening for a moment, “You don’t expect us to handle and cook it ourselves, do you?”

Director Sun gave her a look that said, “What else?”

“I never said these set meals were ready to eat.”

[Hahahaha, I can’t stop laughing, guys, it’s the first time I’ve seen all their faces turn green at once.]

[I knew the crew had set a trap!]

[Ah ah ah, the crab is crawling off, Princess Wen, your lunch is escaping!]

[Hahahahahaha, this isn’t a transformation reality show, it’s a prank reality show!]

[I can’t even, I just spit out my lunch from laughing, Princess Wen’s face turned white when she saw the eel, how is she going to handle it?]

[Jiang Li seems pretty calm, could she have guessed the crew’s trick from the start?]
