Chapter 243: The Tragic Superstar

Sun Qiluo asked about all the joints they had in their area, but they found no places with lava rock barbecue services.

“Hold up, why don’t we have anything in our turf?” He Xingzhou checked the map a few times.

He confirmed that there were no joints in their area.

“Then that means no joints there,” Shen Yitang answered.

“Then what should we eat for lunch?” He had a rocky start to the day, and now he was going to miss lunch. This was torture for him.

Shen Yitang looked at the map. “There’s a convenient shop there. You can get some instant ramen.”

He Xingzhou was flabbergasted.

Lu Jin shared the same sentiments.

“Hahahaha...,” Sun Qiluo guffawed. Compared to them, she felt that having no barbecue was nothing to cry over about.

They were right. Schadenfreude did feel great.

“Brother Shen, I have more than thirty million fans on Weibo!” He Xingzhou then pointed at Lu Jin. “He has more than fifty million.”

“So?” Shen Yitang asked.

“Nearly ten million people will know you only gave us instant ramen for lunch when this airs!” He Xingzhou threatened, “Aren’t you afraid they’re going to send you a mountain of threat messages?”

“They can do that. I can make those into merch, sell them, and make a profit,” Shen Yitang thanked him happily. “Thanks for the suggestion.”

He Xingzhou was at a loss for words.

Yun Xiangxiang and Sun Qiluo had a fit of laughter together. They couldn’t stop.

“Don’t get mad, Xingzhou. Little Shen’s a famous debater. Instead of bargaining with him, you should just start thinking about the ramen flavor you’re going for,” Hou Cang mocked.

“Hahahaha... There’s a convenience store...hahahaha. At least you still got food... hahahaha,” Sun Qiluo added insult to injury.

“I heard that the delicious food of the barbecue is grilled using stones from ancient volcanoes. Take your time and think about your ramen flavor. I’ll be enjoying myself here,” Yun Xiangxiang tempted them before skipping away.

“Can I call Shanshan over?” Yun Xiangxiang asked the program team.

“Go ahead,” the program team didn’t stop her.

Yun Xiangxiang sent the hotel’s name to Wei Shanshan before she went there to wait. The manager gave her the best private room they had.

They were going on TV after all. This would boost their lava stone barbecue’s fame.

The manager had prepared the freshest ingredients without even needing Yun Xiangxiang to ask them.

The cameramen stopped filming after they recorded the footage of how the lava rock barbecue looked like and the ingredients that were there.

Thanks to Yun Xiangxiang, they could also enjoy the BBQ here. The program team would sponsor them.

The crew following Lu Jin and He Xingzhou had the worst luck. They had to have ramen along with the duo.

“Hahahahaha...,” Wei Shanshan guffawed when she heard the story. “You should have told me sooner. I would have gone to see the best actors eating ramen at the sidewalk. You don’t see that every day.”

“That’s crossing the line. Just keep it within these walls. Don’t go to watch their misery,” Yun Xiangxiang advised.

Yun Xiangxiang might be kind, but Hou Cang and Sun Qiluo were not.

Their territory was right across the convenience store where Lu Jin and He Xingzhou were.

The duo couldn’t have the lava rock barbecue they wanted and were annoyed. It just so happened that a joint was right across the convenience store.

It sold one of Tengchong City’s specialties: claypot hot pot. Hou Cang and Sun Qiluo chose the hot pot on purpose and sat outside the restaurant for Lu Jin and He Xingzhou to see.

“Don’t be too smug, you guys,” He Xingzhou was irritated.

“We’re avenging our lost country,” Sun Qiluo sipped her juice happily.

“We should go in,” Hou Cang said suddenly. “Xingzhou has it worse than us. He lost his country and his wife.”

He Xingzhou was annoyed.

Sun Qiluo added, “Don’t stop there. Look, his partner in crime is the infamous wife snatcher himself.”

He Xingzhou was seething with anger.

Lu Jin was mildly annoyed.

Sun Qiluo and Hou Cang slapped the table and laughed incessantly.

Shen Yitang tried his best to stay composed. He was in a jovial mood now. If his experience had taught him anything, it was that this episode was going to be a hit.

The stars were not given any scripts. They only knew about the range of content. Not even the details were given to them.

As there were five of them, it wasn’t easy to make the teams. Despite that, they managed to come up with such hilarious matchups.

He Xingzhou and Lu Jin were the comic reliefs of this episode. Even he would laugh at their antics at times.

Lu Jin despised instant ramen. Not only was it nutritionless, but it would also take away the body’s nutrients with it.

He gave up the instant ramen but chose milk and crackers as his lunch.

He Xingzhou finally succumbed to his hunger and chose some instant ramen. The crew following them also bought something to eat in the store.

The crew following Hou Cang were having hot pots. Looking at them, He Xingzhou felt guilty. “I dragged you guys into this.”

The crew shook their heads, saying that it was fine.

After an hour or so of break, they reassembled again at two o’clock.

“Alright, everyone’s had their lunch and has rested up,” the camera swept through the stars as Shen Yitang started talking.

Naturally, Yun Xiangxiang was full of energy. With Lu Jin and He Xingzhou as a comparison, Sun Qiluo and Hou Cang looked happy.

Only Lu Jin and He Xingzhou was somber.

Shen Yitang continued, “Next up, Prisoners of War.”

The teams would take turns being “It” and would catch the players from the other two teams. The more prisoners they caught, the higher the points they would score.

It sounded fair, even though catching Yun Xiangxiang’s team meant they would score one point less.

But the disadvantage went both ways. Yun Xiangxiang would have to catch two people all by herself. He Xingzhou was satisfied with this until he heard the next rule.

“The players who are the prey can only run around in their territory. Once they enter another player’s turf, they’ll become prisoners of war,” Shen Yitang said coldly. “Also, the players can only run on the streets. No hiding in civilians’ houses or any shops.”

“I just want to know how many streets we have on our turf,” He Xingzhou gave up.

“Two, I think...,” Shen Yitang looked at the map.

“Now I know what cornered animals look like,” He Xingzhou gnashed his teeth. “They look like us.”

“I’ll need to know your definition of catch. Can we only run, or can we resist?” Yun Xiangxiang raised her hand.

“No, you can only dodge,” Shen Yitang asked.

She continued, “If I am caught, but they didn’t have a hold on me, does that mean I dodged them?”

“The player must get the prisoner onto their turf for it to be counted. It wouldn’t be counted if the prisoner escaped before then.”

“Thanks for the explanation,” Yun Xiangxiang smiled brightly at the other two teams.

“That’s unfair. Her turf is ridiculously big. She can run away every time we try catching her.”
