Chapter 93

Drawn as the tour guide for the day, Tao Rou needed to plan the itinerary and accommodation for everyone based on the budget provided by the program team.

Of course, if they chose to stay here, they would also need to provide the corresponding accommodation fee.

Unfortunately, Tao Rou was the first to win.

Looking at the so-called budget in the tour guide card, she couldn’t help but rub her temples in headache. “This is less than two thousand when converted, just the accommodation alone will take away at least half of the money, and there are so many of us… Does the program team not intend for us to have fun?”

Facing the condemning gazes of the others, Director Xu remained unfazed. “These are just basic expenses. We will intersperse some fun challenges along the way. If the guests can complete them, they will receive double the budget.”

He smiled, “And the expenses incurred during the game are not included in the calculation. Our program team is quite generous, right?”

In response, the guests rolled their eyes mercilessly.

“Alright, it’s already late.” Ignoring him, Tao Rou looked at the time, stood up with the tour guide card, and said, “You should all rest early. I’ll go back to my room to plan the route. We need to get up early tomorrow.”

Everyone stood up in agreement, all saying in unison, “Thank you, Sister Tao Rou, for your hard work.”

Director Xu, who was ignored: ?

The next day, Tao Rou sent the planned itinerary to the group, marking each location’s route concisely to ensure everyone could understand. She also gave each person a portion of money so that even if they got lost, they could find their way back.

She chose nearby attractions, which were not too expensive, and the kids had a great time.

[“Indeed, Tao, the queen of shadows, even though it was a last-minute plan, it doesn’t seem rushed at all. The distance between each location is also very suitable. It won’t make everyone tired and can also enjoy themselves.”]

[“But starting from tomorrow, we can’t be so lazy, right? Going to other places means changing accommodation, and the expenses will be higher. It’s definitely going to be more complicated.”]

[“How can you call this being lazy? It’s obviously carefully calculated. What can you do with just a thousand bucks? Tao Rou has no choice. And as long as they can complete the challenges from the program team today, they can get double the budget, so naturally, they don’t need to be so thrifty.”]

Indeed, after a day of visiting the nearby classic scenic spots, everyone was a bit tired.

And just then, the program team announced the first game.

The guests needed to be blindfolded and taken to a place, where they would then face a challenge. The children would be temporarily taken care of by the staff, and they would reunite after completing the challenge.

“I have a bad feeling about this,” Bai Jing muttered softly when blindfolded, “Could it be something scary? They blindfold us on purpose, so it must be pitch black there, and then something suddenly pops out to scare you?”

“Or maybe we have to touch things in a box and guess what they are,” Le Chu Xin swallowed nervously. “I saw in a variety show game before, someone even touched a snake…”

As soon as she said this, the others grimaced and shivered, refusing to move any further.

Although blindfolded, the darkness was not a problem for Sheng Xia.

Feeling the others’ resistance and fear, she lazily leaned against the wall and suddenly spoke up, “I think we’re in an elevator going up; it must be some high-altitude challenge.”

[Wait! Is Sheng Xia really blindfolded? Did she peek at the challenge!]

[We just found out they were going to the most famous tower bridge here, how did she guess it right away?]

[If she knew it was a high-altitude challenge, it wouldn’t be long before she guessed it was a glass bridge challenge, right?]

Unaware that Sheng Xia had actually figured it out, but hearing her analysis and reassurance, the others finally let go of their fear of touching snakes and felt slightly relieved.

Then, when the elevator door opened, they lined up as reminded, with the latter leaning on the former’s shoulders, led by the staff member at the front.

Not knowing how long they had walked, the surroundings gradually became quiet, as if only the sound of their footsteps remained.

With fear of the unknown, and the loss of sensitivity to time, everyone’s hearts pounded.

Just as Bai Jing couldn’t help but want to speak out, they suddenly heard the staff member in front speaking in a relaxed voice, “Okay, you can take off the blindfolds now.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and almost couldn’t wait to remove the blindfolds. However, before they could see clearly where they were, they were caught off guard by the sight of a river below.

They were actually on a suspended glass bridge.

Already somewhat afraid of heights, Le Chuxin immediately gasped for cold air, her lips trembling, her legs weak and about to kneel down, but she was supported by Sheng Xia beside her.

Without caring about her image, she hugged Sheng Xia subconsciously, her face pale as she buried it in Sheng Xia’s chest, closing her eyes and dare not look down for a second time.

Feeling her trembling, Sheng Xia paused, maintained this posture, and directly pulled her back two steps, evacuating to a safe place.

Director Xu wasn’t a demon either. Although he intended to tease them, he only made them stand at the edge of the glass bridge. If they really couldn’t stand it, the staff would pull them back.

However, just as she was trying to bring Le Chuxin back, she realized she didn’t need to do it herself.Top of Form

The light fell, and the camera deliberately focused on Sheng Xia, highlighting her porcelain-white and exquisitely beautiful face. Her beautiful black eyes were calm and serene, with a hint of indescribable sharpness.

Especially in her actions to protect Le Chuxin, they were clean and neat, exuding a strange sense of heroism.

[Ah, Sheng Xia was so handsome just now! It feels so safe!]

[Originally, we were amused by their rare loss of composure, but suddenly Sheng Xia’s actions attracted us! Sob, she was also so flirtatious with Le Chu Xin, the first one to take her on a motorcycle ride, how did that happen?]

[I remember her standing at the highest point in the post-apocalyptic theme park, facing the oncoming zombie…! Sister, marry me!]

Realizing she was safe, Le Chuxin looked up and met her smiling black eyes.

As if soothed by her calm emotions, her panic and unease just now suddenly subsided. She bit her lip and smiled at Sheng Xia.

Meanwhile, Bai Jing screamed because of a momentary oversight.

But when she realized where she was, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth and say, “They must be doing this on purpose. Being suddenly brought here, even people who aren’t afraid of heights would be scared, right?!”

Although Tao Rou was also startled, she was always composed and quickly calmed down. Seeing her unconsciously stomp her foot, she couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Are you afraid Chuxin won’t be scared enough?”

Bai Jing choked up.

“I reminded you before the challenge, and I confirmed that you were not afraid of heights,” Director Xu’s voice came from the walkie-talkie held by the staff member, “You are now only one meter away from the return path and can choose whether to accept the challenge.”

“If you accept, you will walk the entire glass bridge. Of course, if you really can’t do it, you can step back now and take the elevator down.”

He said it plainly, but now that they were here, who would be willing to back down?

Isn’t the most feared phrase just “since we’re here”?

Bai Jing sneered and rolled her eyes, “Is it really that simple? If only one person crosses, does it count as completing the challenge?”

“Of course not. Only when all of you cross does it count as completing the challenge, and you will receive double the funding. But as long as someone completes the challenge, they will also receive the corresponding funding.”

“—You now have five minutes to consider.”

When everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned to Le Chu Xin, she seemed to struggle in her heart for a long time before finally making up her mind. Although her lips were slightly pale, her gaze was firm, “Don’t worry about me, I can do it.”

Bai Jing frowned disapprovingly, “If it’s really impossible, one less person is also acceptable, just a little less funding.”

Le Chuxin was about to say something when her hand was suddenly held.

Thinking that Sheng Xia also wanted to persuade her, she turned her head uneasily, only to see Sheng Xia’s lips lightly curved, “Shall we go watch the sunset together? I haven’t seen that view yet, it should be beautiful, right?”
