Chapter 451 - 450: Congratulations on Triggering the Transposition Game

The sudden twist was a bit sharp, and the newcomer Wei Yi expressed great shock.

"Using this... to divide teams?"

Having heard about the show’s careless reputation, but never witnessed it firsthand, it’s truly so careless.

"Our show’s team division method is extremely careless, no need to feel surprised," Guan Yu said these two sentences, then turned to Mu Qiu:

"But maybe it’s not about who eats the most, it could be who eats the least? Or maybe whose food is the same color?"

Mu Qiu rubbed her chin: "Makes sense."

Li Yang: "Maybe it’s about who takes a bite of veggies and then a bite of meat."

Qiu Shuang: "Or maybe it’s about who dips the sauce the most?"

"That being said," Jiang Lu joined their brainstorming, "it could also be about who dips the same sauce?"

Cheng Zhirang listened to them guessing wildly, and after being silent for a while, he chimed in.

"What if the director doesn’t mean that at all?"

It’s like a spring suddenly splashed into boiling water, the heated discussion quieted down.

After a while, Mu Qiu spoke up: "Right....."

Guan Yu: "The director probably fooled us again."

Jiang Lu: "So is this a show where everyone from the director to the guests is a trickster?"

"...Ahem," Mu Qiu, feeling oddly offended, pretended not to hear, turned to ask the director,

"Can you speak directly, director? Does this dish decide our re-grouping for the second game? Or decide that we switch the control locks?"

Director: "Especially the dip in the middle, it really adds to the flavor of the dish."

Mu Qiu: "...I feel..."

"Understood." Li Yang immediately reached for the small circular dip tray in the center of the wooden tray, with a click, the small tray could actually be taken off.

Once removed, at the base of the large wooden tray, a careless and rough word was engraved.

[Switch]

The camera just captured this word, and the director eagerly announced through his megaphone to everyone:

"Congratulations everyone! You successfully triggered the second game!"

"....."

"So careless."

"So ugly."

"So boring."

"I suspect this was added last minute by the director."

"I suspect it too."

The group gathered around the word in the center of the wooden tray, all expressing their "admiration" for the show’s creativity.

Guan Yu put down the wooden tray, stood up straight and asked: "Tell me director, did you add this last minute? The engraving still looks new, so crooked it’s hard to tell what word it is."

A staff member behind the director muffled their laughter, while the director was unfazed and locked eyes with Guan Yu, saying:

"Please refrain from focusing excessively on these meaningless matters. Anyway, congratulations for finding this clue and successfully triggering the transposition game."

"That clue was really hard to find," Mu Qiu said seriously: "If not for the director’s constant reminders and numerous instructions, any normal person would likely not find it."

The staff cooperatively burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Shu Ran caught a different key point, looking up towards the director: "What’s a transposition game?"

"Switch plus transpose, conversion?" Qiu Shuang naturally chimed in, "I think we might really switch control locks."

Shu Ran was skeptical: "Really?"

"I always felt this term ’transposition’ was quite familiar," Li Yang scratched his head, "but suddenly I can’t recall it."

"It’s a small technique in office software spreadsheets."

Puzzled individuals turned to stare at Mu Qiu.

Mu Qiu continued: "It can change vertical data into horizontal, and vice versa."

Guan Yu gazed at her in thought for a while: "So you mean the game is going to make us walk horizontally instead of vertically?"

Mu Qiu: "......In the edited version, you definitely need a label saying ’Once-in-a-million-understanding Emperor’ beside you."

The staff expressed that this idea was very okay.

"It should be about changing the control locks," the usually silent Cheng Zhirang gently said: "But there will be replacement rules."

Jiang Lu piped up: "The key is in the replacement rules, right? Then, director, what do I have to trade for Cheng Zhirang’s leg?"

Cheng Zhirang turned his head to look at him.

Others exclaimed "Oh."

Li Yang: "Already fueling the battle?"

Guan Yu: "Brother Jiang Lu, why do you want Brother Cheng’s leg? My leg is pretty good too!"

Qiu Shuang: "Brother Jiang Lu, my leg is pretty good too, let’s trade one, I don’t want to become deaf."

Shu Ran: "...Brother, we’re on the same team!"

Mu Qiu: "I don’t even know what to say, wishing everyone good health then."

Wei Yi: "Hahahahahahaha Sister Mu Qiu, you’re so funny!"

After Wei Yi’s laughter, Shi Yuhuai’s voice was "fashionably late".

"If it’s about legs, mine might be the best."

He looked slightly proud.

Mu Qiu: "??? How did this turn into a leg sales pitch?"

This isn’t a stand selling legs.

Whether serious or not, she always hit some people’s funny bone, Wei Yi burst into laughter again.

Li Yang also couldn’t help but laugh, grinning foolishly, then asked Jiang Lu: "Brother Jiang Lu, are you really going to trade? I think it should be an equal exchange, do you want to go deaf? It’s hard to fake deafness."

"That’s why it’s challenging."

"Brother Jiang Lu is just Different," Guan Yu used her flattering tone again, "Applauding your spirit of facing challenges head-on!"

"Everyone clap!" She found clapping alone lonely, even elbowing the people beside her, urging everyone to join in.

Everyone oddly started clapping.

While clapping, Mu Qiu internally rolled her eyes. Jiang Lu is facing challenges, but Guan Yu wants to face "male" challenges, doesn’t she?

Jiang Lu was somewhat overwhelmed by Guan Yu’s sudden comedy act, laughing while urging everyone to stop.

Shi Yuhuai’s expression still remained deeply disdainful of Guan Yu, his brows furrowed tightly.

Maybe don’t just switch control locks, switch people too.

With that lively moment over, the director began to work seriously.

"Since everyone has triggered the transposition game, the second game officially begins. Please proceed to the castle basement."

"There’s a basement here?" Everyone stood up to leave, and after unlocking the control lock, Guan Yu’s chatter hadn’t stopped.

Now with full bellies and during the transition between venues, she could still keep talking, talking, and talking.

"What’s a typical castle basement layout? A nobleman’s secret base? Storage room? Or a wine cellar? If it’s wine... Why are you stopping me, Brother Huai?!"

Shi Yuhuai couldn’t stand it anymore, he walked over and covered her mouth.

"You’re noisy."

"...... Mmm mmm mmm!" Can’t speak with a mouth?! This is a merciless deprivation of personal freedom! Just as bad as the show crew!

She struggled to pry Shi Yuhuai’s hand off, exerting herself until her face flushed, unfortunately, Shi Yuhuai was too tall and strong, no matter how she flailed and struggled, she couldn’t break free.

Moreover, the two of them seemed like a parent carrying a child who’s screaming and thrashing around.
