Chapter 28: Unlucky Xiaochi

"Isn't it nice!" Sui Sui hopped around, her tone so cocky and certain, as if the beauty of her new dress was an absolute truth that couldn't be refuted. After all, this little ginseng had grown up in the deep mountains and hardly seen the outside world. In her eyes, this dress was extremely beautiful! She was a little nervous inside, secretly thinking that this dress seemed to be a tiny bit nicer than the clothes Xiaochi dressed her in yesterday... just a tiny bit!

As for Wen Chi, he managed to say after a while, "As long as you think it's nice." Actually, the fabric of this dress was rather rough and the print was tacky. But since Sui Sui liked it, so be it. Wen Chi was being a bit hypocritical, but still somewhat sensible.

The audience in the live stream was completely in the dark. The bullet comments were flying:

[How dare you, Wen Chi! Are you doubting that our Princess Sui Sui's dress isn't nice?]

[It's super nice, okay, Sui Bao! With this angelic face, anything would look good on you!]

[It should be bought by the program team in the nearby town. The style is indeed a bit old-fashioned...]

[Nonsense! My Sui Sui is so beautiful! Isn't her little proud expression waiting for compliments enough to charm you?]

[Anyway, I'm shot through the heart and lying on the ground. Sui Sui, come home with auntie (creeping in the dark)...]

[Drag her away!]

Sui Sui didn't catch Wen Chi's veiled meaning. Her little brain quickly translated Wen Chi's words into: If you like it, it's nice! "Of course!" (￣▽￣)／ Sui Sui was so satisfied, and Wen Chi quietly let out a sigh of relief. Then he turned his attention to today's task card.

This "Today's Task Card" is issued punctually by the program team every morning. There are fixed daily tasks and randomly refreshed tasks every day. You can get points according to the difficulty of the tasks. Guests can choose to complete them according to their abilities and exchange the points for food, furniture, daily necessities and so on. When the rules of the variety show "Peach Blossom Spring" first came out, netizens complained that it was a real-life farming and infrastructure management game, and the guests had all become players.

These four guests all have their own characteristics—

Zhou Lizhi, who ranks first on the points leaderboard, is a handsome but not-so-famous actor. He is a super player with strong practical abilities, rich theoretical knowledge, hardworking, down-to-earth, and worthy of the top spot;

Yu Xiaoxiao, who ranks second, became famous as a child star at an early age. Everyone thought she was spoiled and must have a bit of a star temper. Unexpectedly, she was steady and hardworking, quick and capable at doing things. Even if she didn't know a lot of things, she could get the hang of them with a little try. She took the talent route and deserved the second place;

Zhao Sizhen, who ranks third, is a not-so-famous little singer. It can be seen that she probably comes from a good family and has never done housework before. At first, she was clumsy and made a lot of jokes. Fortunately, she was emotionally stable, not squeamish, could endure hardship, and was very patient. Sometimes when the audience was getting impatient, she was still slow and steady, a typical hardworking player who accumulated points bit by bit;

As for Wen Chi... He was so bad! The king of rookies! His luck was also extremely bad. All kinds of unlucky things piled up on him! Falling down flat even when picking an orange was nothing. Choking on water, getting choked while eating, getting hit by bird droppings while walking on the street, kicking a stone when going out... There were countless such annoying things! At first, the audience just made a few jokes. Later, they just felt annoyed and restless! So, Wen Chi's last place was well-deserved!

The old audience in the live stream saw Wen Chi flipping through the task card and immediately started complaining about his dark history. The bullet comments were full of concerns that Sui Sui would be dragged down by Wen Chi.

Sui Sui didn't know anything. She tiptoed over to look at the piece of paper in Wen Chi's hand, looking curious: "What's this?" "Task card." Wen Chi briefly explained the rules of the task card. Sui Sui was completely confused and rubbed her cheeks. She only cared about one thing: "Can I help you?" She had always remembered that heavenly task. After all, she was a little ginseng spirit!

Wen Chi originally wanted to say no, fearing that Sui Sui, who was too young, would get hurt if she went out. But when he thought of the little hen tied up in the kitchen corner all day, he swallowed his words. Wen Chi:... "Okay, do you have any task you want to do?" With that, Wen Chi handed over the task card, deciding to fully respect the little one's opinion.

But obviously he forgot one thing. Sui Sui took the task card and pretended to read it for a long time. In fact, she didn't understand a word on it. Wen Chi hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning and was a little hungry, so he walked a few steps to get an orange. He was just glad that Sui Sui had eaten breakfast at the base camp before coming. Over there, Sui Sui had already made up her mind: "I'll choose this one!" She pointed decisively at the bottom row.

Wen Chi stuffed an orange segment into his mouth and casually said okay. The iPad beeped, and the interface refreshed, indicating that the guest had accepted the task.

According to the rules, daily tasks and refreshed tasks are different. Daily tasks appear fixed every day. Since the difficulty is not high, they can be completed together in a short time, so there is no requirement for the completion order and time; but refreshed tasks are different. They appear randomly and are more difficult. In order to prevent guests from taking on too many tasks at once and affecting the viewing experience of the audience, you must complete one refreshed task before you can take on another.

So far, Wen Chi had only completed one refreshed task, and it almost took him a whole day! So he didn't have much hope of completing the refreshed task, which was why he let Sui Sui choose. Anyway, he thought these tasks were all about the same.

But he never expected that with a random pick by Sui Sui, she picked the hardest one — the fishing task!

[Task: Please catch at least two fish in the pond.] At first glance, this task didn't seem difficult. The problem was that the guests didn't have any tools! There were no fishing nets, fishing rods or anything! Just catching fish with bare hands. Was it possible?

Wen Chi was stunned. "Xiaochi, Xiaochi!" Sui Sui pushed Wen Chi in confusion. Wen Chi came to his senses and mechanically replied that it was okay.

The audience in the bullet comments also exploded:

[Here comes the thing we were worried about. Wen Chi, you good-for-nothing!]

[Actually, it's not that Wen Chi is useless. It's that the task is too difficult. Zhou Lizhi made a fishing rod himself before and squatted by the pond for three hours and didn't even see a single fish scale!]

[I suspect there are no fish in that pond! The program team is fooling people! The other tasks like catching chickens and picking fruits are much easier!]

[Silly, the chickens, ducks and rabbits are bought and released by the program team and specially fenced in, so of course it's easy! I don't know if the pond is to increase the difficulty or avoid destroying the ecology. There are no fish put in on purpose, so the difficulty is naturally high.]

[My Sui Sui baby doesn't deserve the blame! Wen Chi let Sui Sui choose by himself!]

[I strongly suspect that Sui Sui can't read...]

[She's only three and a half years old. It's normal that she doesn't know many words!]
