DTBS - Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Parenting Show 6: Variety Show Killer

"Congratulations to Qingshang for winning the final victory in the number-calling game. 'One Little Cat Looking for Water to Drink' successfully had the last laugh!"

Just a little bit more. If only He Shanyan hadn't read "One Little Cat Looking for Water to Drink" as "One Little Cat Carrying Water to Drink," he would have been the final winner.

"Please have our little friend Tao Aiqin also stand over here," Mu Feng said with a smile, beckoning the little cat nearby.

Tao Aiqin trotted over to the host with her short legs, not forgetting to continue communicating with the System in her head: 【My female lead mom is too competitive. Did she forget that if she wins in the end, I'll be the last one to draw lots?】

This game is a win on the surface but a loss underneath, isn't it?

Qin Qingshang hadn't considered the subsequent issue of her daughter drawing lots. To her, it was pretty much the same, but since she was already participating and Qiuqiu was watching from the side...

She was fired up! She had to win!

"Wasn't I amazing?" Qin Qingshang returned to Tao Qiuyun's side, poking her shoulder. "Didn't let you down, successfully took the championship!"

"Yes, very amazing," the gentle-looking woman smiled and nodded.

Seeing Tao Qiuyun smile, Qin Qingshang originally wanted to lean into her arms, but immediately noticed the camera nearby. Changing her movement, she only hooked the woman's arm, looking proud: "Of course! Who do you think I am!"

【You are the witch who scattered poison at the beginning (dog head)】

【Scared me to death, I originally thought CEO Tao would say "You won, but it's better to lose this game first." Thank goodness, thank goodness】

【Sister Qin is well-taught after marriage, CEO Tao's mouth can finally be used (blush)】

【Used properly?】

【Sister Ming eliminating Sister Gu is so warm】

【...CP fans, go ship the plea for mercy, okay? Don't drag my Sister Ming into this! My Sister Ming is beautiful on her own!】

【I'm numb, why are Ming Siwen's fans and CP fans still arguing? Can't you go discuss it in someone's personal live stream?】

【Gu Yunfei's live stream can't even have comments open, it's all people scolding her, it's not that serious, is it?】

【Sister Qin is so cute~ Just as cute as her daughter!】

The children gathered at the drawing area. Mu Feng held a large transparent box with five cards inside. "Then we'll draw lots one by one according to the order we just lined up in~"

Gu Jingyou's hands were short. Even though Mu Feng was squatting down with the box, she still had to stand on her tiptoes to touch the cards inside.

After drawing a card, the little one handed the white card in her hand to Wang Lulu nearby.

"There are stickers on them. We'll stick the cards onto this whiteboard first, and after everyone has drawn, we'll reveal them," she bent down to look at the children, smiling as she asked, "Okay?"

The children looked at her, then turned their gaze to Tao Aiqin, seemingly wanting to see her reaction.

Wang Lulu: "..." This was a bit different from what she expected.

Tao Aiqin clearly didn't expect everyone's attention to turn to her. She simply stared at the host with innocent eyes and asked softly, "Why can't we open it now?"

Here it comes, the child's ultimate move—Why!

Wang Lulu perked up and answered fluently, "Because if you open it now, there won't be any surprise. Qinqin, don't you like surprises?"

"Don't like them," the cat said seriously. "Mom on TV said, the sooner you die, the sooner you get reincarnated."

Mom on TV?

Oh, Qin Qingshang's line in 《White Robed Minister》.

"Master is right!" He Ruotang was the first to cheer.

"Qinqin is right." Meng Huashi glanced at the boy beside her, a little unhappy.

"Mhm mhm." Gu Jingyou looked at the white cat, then nodded at Wang Lulu, seemingly agreeing.

Mu Xinxian felt she couldn't blend into their cheerful atmosphere, feeling down and not speaking with her head lowered.

Wang Lulu: "..."

In the romance show, your two mothers messed with the production team's mindset, and now it's your turn, right? Is this your family's inherited trait?

【LOL, the production team thought the kids would follow their process, but who knew kids are just kids, their ideas are always weird and unexpected】

【According to the last episode's process, there will definitely be another game to drag out time when revealing the cards. Qinqin, you did well!】

【As expected, she's their biological child. You can tell she has the demeanor of her two mothers】

【Referring to annoying the production team? (dog head)】

The arrow was on the string, it had to be shot.

Wang Lulu stuck the cards on the whiteboard and smiled as she peeled off the stickers: "Since our babies don't like surprises, let's just announce it directly! Gu Yunfei's family's role is... Postman!"

A staff member pushed over a child's small tricycle. Mu Feng stepped forward to take it and placed the small tricycle in front of Gu Yunfei. "This is the initial prop, Sister Gu, your family must take good care of this."

Gu Yunfei hesitated, then hesitated again, pausing for two seconds: "So this is for Xiao You to earn money to support me?"

This size, an adult couldn't possibly sit on it.

Mu Feng smiled without speaking...

Next was Meng Huashi's turn to draw lots. As the little girl stepped forward, Tao Aiqin suddenly ran up from the back of the line, grabbed her hand, and blew on it twice.

"Mengmeng, I've blessed you with good luck, go for it!" the cat encouraged.

"Mhm!" Meng Huashi, who had been a little unhappy, instantly regained her energy. "I'll go for it!"

System: 【You specifically bought a disposable good luck charm for her to use, is it necessary?】

Tao Aiqin: 【This is all early investment. For Mengmeng's future star path, what's this little bit of money? Build a lucky persona, operate it first.】

System: 【...6】

Meng Huashi's identity card was: Painter.

Tao Aiqin, who knew Meng Huashi's painting level: "..."

What the heck! This is the result after being blessed by a good luck charm? System, refund!

System: 【Dear, money and goods exchanged, no refunds supported~】

The little cat grumbled.

The children's drawing of lots quickly finished. Tao Aiqin didn't even need to draw; the last remaining card automatically belonged to her.

Gu Jingyou - Occupation: Postman; Initial Prop: Child's tricycle x1;

Meng Huashi - Occupation: Painter; Initial Props: Sketchbook x1, Paint x1;

Mu Xinxian - Occupation: Security Guard; Initial Prop: Plastic stick with a pattern x1;

He Ruotang - Occupation: Chef; Initial Prop: Spatula x1;

Tao Aiqin - Occupation: Doctor; Initial Prop: Stethoscope x1.

"I have a question," Qin Qingshang raised her hand to voice her opinion. "These props are all custom-made for children, which means our adult occupations aren't these, right?"

"Adults need to help the children complete the tasks," Wang Lulu explained. "In other words, this season's tasks will be centered around the children."

"Since everyone has their items," Mu Feng said energetically, "Let us introduce you to the current background. Listen carefully, this is different from the daily life in the first season."

Wang Lulu's voice was infectious as she slowly narrated: "Everyone is a member of the 【Monster and Ghost Detective Society】. Because a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky and an unknown small island emerged on the sea, President Old Lu issued an order for a thorough investigation. However, the investigators sent out have been out of contact for a long time, and their identity cards have shattered one by one, suspected to be in mortal danger. Just two days ago, the society suddenly received a piece of intelligence from an investigator..."

Qin Qingshang listened intently, whispering to Tao Qiuyun: "I didn't expect it to be a detective script. I bet that President Old Lu is Director Lu, and maybe the screenwriter for this season is the same one from the escape room."

Don't ask why, it's an actor's intuition!

The host continued to explain: "Most of the occupations on this island are done by children, while adults are mostly supervisors or idle. Inside intelligence indicates that the occupations on 【Mysterious Island】 are relatively fixed, but five positions change frequently. However, since the applicants for the interviews are all children, the society hopes to send reliable children to assist in the investigation."

"And you few are the most outstanding members of the society, and mostly dual-income families. Your children are smart and clever, so you volunteered and took the initiative to bring your children here to contribute your strength to world peace."

Tao Aiqin: "..."

What kind of silly and fantastical script did the screenwriter come up with? The production team really picked up a ghost (X) treasure.

【OMG! The suspenseful atmosphere is instantly there, is it actually a detective story?!】

【Not daily life? Leaving, leaving】

【Wuwuwu, thank you immortal screenwriter and immortal director, I love watching exploration variety shows】

【Didn't expect this, I've been following since the first season, thought it was daily life】

【Hahahaha, suspense is also good, it reminds me of the escape room in the romance show back then】

【Can see Sister Qiu show off her power again】

【Can see Sister Qin show off her power again (dog head)】

【? Bringing up Sister Qin is too mean】

【Sister Qin : What? There's a ghost?】

【Advise the production team to be sensible, don't scare Sister Qin, or she'll clear the level for you to see (smirk)】

【I'm thinking of that video again hahahaha】

"So what is our mission?" Unaware that the comments were teasing her, Qin Qingshang asked the question shared by the guests to the production team.

"To uncover the truth of 【Mysterious Island】. The methods are not limited. To enhance freedom, the production team has specially set up multiple routes to clear the level, ensuring everyone's gaming experience. So we also hope that after entering the island, everyone can immerse themselves in their roles. More detailed character instruction manuals will be distributed to the guests later, and the live stream will be paused for everyone to read and discuss."

Speaking of this, Wang Lulu paused for a moment, turned to the camera, and continued: "When our live stream resumes, it will be when the guests officially enter the island, which is when our script officially begins. Follow us so you don't get lost, and welcome everyone to leave comments and discuss~"

【Okay okay okay, I can't wait!】

【Wuwuwu, although I love watching horror movies, I hope the children won't be scared】

【This variety show feels good, I haven't seen anything like it before, I'm following it】

【Come on, it's scripted, disperse, disperse】

【You can never reason with keyboard warriors】

【Why is it only this long! Add time, add time!】

Originally, according to the plan, if they played another game before revealing the cards, the live stream would have ended right at dinner time. However, the strange little cat disrupted the plan, causing the show's original schedule to change, and they had to end the live stream early.

In the observation room, Director Lu was earnestly communicating with Dai Congxu: "Lao Dai, trust me, you absolutely must keep a close eye on Qin Qingshang's family. If you're not careful, your plan might take a detour."

"Is it as mystical as you say?"

"She and her wife are indeed mystical. They turned my perfectly serious romance show into a comedy. Now looking at their daughter, I can only say she's evil! This is simply one plus one equals three, defying logic, a qualitative change!"

"Mine has horror elements, it shouldn't turn into a comedy." Dai Congxu thought for a moment, not taking it to heart.

"Then let's wait and see. I can already see her fiercely slapping your face in Tao Aiqin's shadow."

She's just a five-year-old child, do you need to be this scared?

The guests, unaware of the director's thoughts, adjusted their mindset, read the script, and officially stepped onto the "Mysterious Island." And the NPC who came to greet everyone was an old acquaintance...

It was Zhou Linwan.
