I'm Crushing on Gorgeous Faces in Variety Shows!

Chapter 467 - 466: No Rights, No Human Rights

Since the "victim" doesn’t want to clarify things anymore, there’s no need to explain. Anyway, as long as they lose points, it’s fine.

Mu Qiu, Li Yang, and Qiu Shuang all sighed together.

Guan Yu, feeling like success is just within reach, laughed at them with her hands on her hips.

"Oh my, who is this? Isn’t it Mu Qiu? Why is ’last place’ written all over your face?"

"...Only you could be so loud. Do you want me to slap you till you’re quiet?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, someone’s flustered. Totally flustered."

The director glanced at the two of them, then turned with a smile to wave at the first place team.

"Shu Ran’s group can draw a keyword."

The staff brought over the same lottery box from the last round, along with the whiteboard with the previous keywords stuck on it.

This time, Shu Ran was the first to step up and draw.

"The stuff in this box hasn’t been changed, right?" she asked.

The director nodded: "Each round is drawn from the same pool of keywords."

"Then there’s a good chance we’ll draw similar but different requirements," Shu Ran frowned, finding this drawing method a bit problematic.

"Like if we drew ’comedy’ last round and ’tragedy’ this round, how do we perform that?"

The three people who drew ’comedy’ last round immediately stopped their trivial arguments with Guan Yu and turned their attention to the director.

"Are all the keywords really mixed together?"

Director: "Yes. It’s non-replacement drawing, didn’t the people from the last round notice? There are only nine keywords in the box. Once you draw one, it’s gone. You might even pull the same type."

Which means, Mu Qiu and her team, having drawn ’comedy,’ might draw ’tragedy.’ Both comedy and tragedy, how to perform?!

Li Yang let out a howl and collapsed on the ground, "Why is everything a pitfall this episode?!"

The director pushed the lottery box forward with a smile and gestured to Shu Ran.

"Go ahead and draw."

Shu Ran glanced back at Cheng Zhirang and Jiang Lu, then extended her beautifully manicured hand into the box, stirred it around, and pulled out a card.

[Choice]

What does this mean? Is it time to start plotting?

She turned to the camera with a smile, "This one’s a bit tough, I really don’t have great luck."

Then she showed the word to the camera and stuck it on the whiteboard behind her.

Jiang Lu turned to Cheng Zhirang and said, "This is too vague, hard to perform."

"It’s indeed a bit abstract, but we’ll know once the third keyword is revealed."

Jiang Lu hummed nonchalantly, smiled at Shu Ran as she returned, and reassured her, "It’s okay, Brother Cheng is confident."

Shu Ran, feeling that she drew something too hard, immediately asked upon hearing his reassurance, "Really? Brother Cheng, are you already confident?"

Cheng Zhirang glanced at Jiang Lu and politely replied to her, "This shouldn’t be too difficult."

"That’s good, that’s good. I thought drawing something this hard would hold you back." As she said this, she bowed slightly, biting her lip, her face a mix of discomfort and embarrassment.

As if about to revert to her old ways of playing the victim, Guan Yu quickly stood up next to her.

"Oh, the first place group has drawn, now it’s my turn, right? Girl against girl, now that’s fair. Let me draw one."

Shu Ran still wanted to speak but was interrupted. After sitting down, Jiang Lu also didn’t intend to continue speaking, so she gave up trying to steal the spotlight and hummed to herself, watching Guan Yu swagger forward.

Guan Yu drew a card with great flair, shaking the lottery box with a clatter, quickly reaching in, pulling a card out, and slapping it onto the whiteboard.

[Realism]

Guan Yu, Shi Yuhuai, and Wei Yi all went "oh" in unison.

Guan Yu: "What’s this mean?"

Shi Yuhuai: "How to act it out?"

Wei Yi: "Could it be difficult?"

Guan Yu: "I have no clue right now, can we draw again?"

The director stared at her blankly.

Guan Yu: "...Oh, understood, we can’t."

She backed away, then sat down and sincerely apologized to Shi Yuhuai and Wei Yi.

Before Wei Yi could say it was fine and reassure her, she added, "But it doesn’t matter, I know, no matter what keyword we draw, it’s equally hard for our group."

After all, none of them were professionally trained, nor had they acted before.

Wei Yi’s comforting words died in his throat, he opened his mouth, thought for a moment, then closed it without saying anything.

The third one to draw was Mu Qiu.

The continuous string of bad luck, ending with being in last place, left her exhausted and completely unenthused.

Dragging her heavy steps, she walked up, lazily stirred the box, pulled out a card, and glanced at it.

[Corruption]

Mu Qiu: "?! "

Corruption in a comedy?!

This is interesting.

Her expression visibly changed to surprise and excitement, piquing the curiosity of others.

Shu Ran: "What did you draw that’s making you so happy?"

Wei Yi: "Is it easy to act out?"

Li Yang: "Are we making a comeback?!"

She stuck the keyword to the whiteboard, stepping aside so they could see.

Li Yang furrowed his brow: "Corruption? Is this easy to act out? With heavy makeup?"

Next to him, Qiu Shuang shook his head: "It might not need heavy makeup. But if a comedy incorporates a corruption storyline, how do we arrange that?"

"I already have an idea," Mu Qiu said as she walked back, "In a three-person storyline, add the corruption..."

"Hold on."

Before she reached her seat, Jiang Lu suddenly raised his hand to call the director.

"Director, I remember that the first place team not only gets to draw keywords first but can also choose to swap with others, right?"

The director watched with amusement, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Mu Qiu’s heart skipped a beat, sensing something bad.

"Brother Jiang Lu! You want to swap with us?! No way?! Aren’t we all from the same roots, why rush to harm each other?!"

Jiang Lu smiled charmingly, but his tone had a malicious edge: "Being first place should have some perks. We just think the keyword you drew fits perfectly with our theme."

Mu Qiu couldn’t believe it: "You guys already have a theme?! Just decided? You saw our keyword and then decided? This is robbery! Doesn’t last place have any rights?!"

Guan·Second Place·Yu casually answered: "Naturally, they don’t."

"...But this fits our theme too! We don’t want to exchange!"

Director: "Shu Ran’s group proposed a second keyword exchange with Mu Qiu’s group. Proposal accepted, the two groups will exchange."

"..." Mu Qiu was indignant, grabbing air like a chair, slammed it on the ground, scuffling pretending to take off her team jersey, tossing it down, and stomping on it.

"No rights! No rights! Everyone come see this show, the last place has no rights! We worked hard, yet we’re treated like this! We’re done!"
