Chapter 842 - 547: Explorer [03] Hardy Rivers: My Mom Wants to Make You Her Goddaughter [Update 3]

"Sis, this isn’t scripted, right?"

Oliver Scott watched in disbelief, unsure, he asked Nora Scott.

Nora, who wasn’t paying attention to the bullet comments, was replying to messages on her phone. Hearing that, she glanced at the screen and said calmly, "No, it’s not."

Shooting a variety show, there are scripts.

"City Secret" is completely unscripted, "Escape Room" gives scripts to other guests, but it only introduces directions, mostly they improvise.

As for "On the Road," it’s even less about gimmicks and focuses on the journey itself, so how could they possibly use a script?

Besides, with Nora’s acting skills, she might not need a script to play along.

[Rational Viewer]: Why do I feel like it’s not scripted? You can see from the details how Dubois and Little Dubois treat Nora well. Plus, Nora seems quite familiar with his place.

[Idiot Viewer]: I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it.

[Neutral Viewer]: Let’s see how it unfolds.

As for the fans?

Ha.

Sorry, the small amount of love we have for Nora has long been worn away after she repeatedly showed off her affection, requiring time to rekindle in the future.

Oh, of course, these thoughts are just in the little cotton-padded jackets’ minds, in reality—

Before they could act, the show suddenly had a twist. Dubois shared a moving story with the crew that, with the background music’s rendering, truly brought tears to those who heard it.

The twist came too fast, like a tornado.

[Wow, does it feel real?]

[Even if the crew is brainless, they wouldn’t deliberately concoct such a story... Sorry, I’m siding with Nora; being slapped in the face by her is scary.]

[Our Beauty Nora has a kind heart that’s unrivalled! Haters, wake up, she’s a woman you can’t bash!]

[Here it goes again, Nora once more leaves behind her army of fans, slapping countless netizens in the face with her own strength. Familiar feeling, familiar rhythm. Haters, please spare yourselves the humiliation, I feel sorry for you.]

...

This part wasn’t edited much, and soon it was the end of the first day. Nora showcased her tent-building skills and helped Clement Winter, which gained her another wave of goodwill.

[Clement is chasing his idol with strength, while Dad Nora spoils his son with strength.]

[Clement can die without regrets now.]

[Agreed that it’s unscripted. Nora seems carefree on the surface but is actually warm and considerate. If Dubois really is her friend, it only means that her relationship with Dubois is genuinely good.]

[I really love Nora’s personality — straightforward, generous, and unpretentious. Also, isn’t the speed of setting up tents a bit too fast...]

Then, the program showed Nora returning at night, with a snake in one hand and a rabbit in the other.

On camera—

The crew: "..."

Guests: "..."

Off camera—

Audience: "..." Whoever says this show is scripted, I can smash your head!

To ensure authenticity, the crew specially trimmed the footage of Nora catching the snake and rabbit and released it.

There were also the photographer’s screams—

"Ahhhhhhhh there’s a snake!"

"Mom, I want to go home!!"

"Boohoo, Nora, save me—"

...

Photographer: "Nora! Nora! That’s a snake! What if it’s poisonous?!"

Nora: "This kind of snake isn’t poisonous."

Photographer: "Sis! Even if it’s not poisonous, you shouldn’t provoke it! What if it bites—"

Before the words were finished, Nora used a forked stick to pin the snake to the ground, then drew a knife, ending the innocent snake’s life with one swift stroke.

(The crew considerately included a clip of Nora taking a knife at Dubois’ house.)

Photographer: "Ahhhhh what was that!"

The camera swayed, capturing a rabbit swiftly passing by, and with just a turn of her wrist, Nora threw a stone that directly hit the rabbit.

She walked over, knife raised and fell, like an unemotional killer.

Bullet comments:

[...]

[I’m, stunned.]

[Script? If the writer dared to write such a script, believe it or not, I’d beat them till they’re toothless?]

[Anyone who mentions ’script,’ please go be a snake or bunny, okay?]

[Hmm, a wilderness survival trip of Martial World people? Thanks to Fairy Nora, a new height for travel variety shows has been reached.]

[Flying Dagger, Little Li’s throwing knife. [Fist bump][Fist bump] Sister, you’re a goddess coming out of the martial world, my filthy eyes are not worthy to see you. I’ll gouge them out myself.]

[So... the Heavenly Immortal holding a snake and a rabbit is quite cool, huh.]

...

It’s over.

The audience went wild.

Dense bullet comments for the next ten minutes were incoherent words mixed with "Heavenly Immortal," "snake," and "rabbit," indicating the impact on many viewers’ young and fragile hearts.

Naturally, the haters who bashed Nora were so shocked they went silent and disappeared for the rest of the show.

In the program, Nora displayed rich wilderness survival experience, forming a sharp contrast with Clement Winter, Nelson, and Valeria Young. Especially with her abundant stamina, exceptional courage, and mouth-watering cooking skills, everything was so perfect it was like she embodied the Heavenly Immortal they imagined.

Until the third morning, the program released a video of Nora playing the bamboo flute—

[...]

[???]

[Okay, I died on the spot.]

[Okay, I went deaf.]

[No, wasn’t she supposed to be omnipotent? Heavenly Immortal, give us some face?]

[As expected of you. I just bragged about her in a post, and she turned around and slapped me hard. I’m really so happy (not).]

[As expected of you. I was just boasting about her being capable of anything to my grandparents, and the next second I saw the indescribable expression on their faces. I’m going crazy.]

...

[Musical menace. Clement Winter, come and control her!]

[Promise me, Clement! Whatever you do, don’t touch her! Her out-of-tune habits are contagious!]

[Ha. I used to believe in the saying ’Nora Scott can do anything.’]

[Ha. I was naive once too.]

...

Oliver Scott, secretly peeking at the bullet comments, saw all the questioning remarks and laughed so hard on Marcus Shaw’s shoulder, being pushed several times without calming down, laughing like a hundred-pound fool.

Nora Scott took a moment to look up and slanted her eyes at Oliver Scott, "Are you high?"

"..."

Oliver Scott immediately turned serious.

——To give his sister enough confidence, he wouldn’t hit her spirits.

Nora Scott glanced at the TV, thinking about the music she just heard, and said, "I think I’ve made some progress recently."

Oliver Scott: "Yeah!"

He never expected that the bamboo flute sound he and Marcus Shaw heard at the inn actually came from his own sister...

Nora Scott frowned, "Julian Linfield didn’t teach well."

"Yeah!"

Oliver Scott agreed wholeheartedly.

After once again overturning the audience’s impression of Nora Scott, the program finally reached its end. The audience, having sat through the episode, felt like they had been on a roller coaster ride, with all eyes focused on Nora Scott. Just as they thought they could relax at the end, they saw the four guests walk into a uniquely styled inn—

"Sis."

"Sis."

The frame froze on two bewildered but devilishly handsome young faces.

This episode ends.

Even Oliver Scott and Marcus Shaw themselves were surprised at this stopping point, internally cursing the "On the Road" production team for being ruthless.

Bullet comments: ???

[Did I see it wrong, those two handsome guys look like the two boys from "Mech Battle"!]

[Shaw! Scott! Ahhhh, Nora Scott’s two real brothers!!!]

[The production team is awesome, we’ve been wanting a sibling variety show for so long, and a simple traveling variety show achieved it!]

[Damn, you’re stopping right here, here, here?! Production team, come out and get beat up!]

...

The audience was hooked and clamored for more. This episode filled them with so much information, satisfying their expectations of Nora Scott’s performance, so they eagerly began to hype up "On the Road" and Nora Scott.

Some even revisited to analyze the details.

Because there were so many highlights in those three days, especially with Nora Scott, but limited by the program’s duration, the production team couldn’t showcase everything.

However, the production team captured some highlights and released a two-hour-long blooper reel available only to VIP viewers.

That night, the industry was once again astonished.

——Nora Scott’s commercial value really makes people envious.

Typically, netizens would share VIP access with everyone they know, but this time, they lavishly paid for it. Those eager for the extra two hours of footage didn’t hesitate to spend the money, willingly buying memberships, sparking massive discussions.

Initial estimates suggest that over a hundred thousand people signed up for memberships that night.

This number is staggering.

The industry, already in awe of Nora Scott’s commercial value, sighed in astonishment at these tangible figures. —— She is just a walking money tree.

...

But the netizens weren’t satisfied.

Even after watching the two-hour blooper edit, they were still left wanting more. They all rushed to the official blog to leave comments, flooding the comment section.

[Can you release all of Nora Scott’s three-day footage! Any way is fine, I want to watch!]

[This woman is so interesting! So charming! Please, On the Road, satisfy us a bit!]

[Begging for the full version! I have money! I’ll give it all to you!]

[Please! Even if I watch Nora Scott sleeping, I can watch it all without skipping!]

...

Production Team: QAQ Boohoohoo, save us, Nora Scott’s fans have gone crazy.

*

Once the hype builds, it’s impossible to suppress.

That night, many companies held emergency meetings, numerous variety show plans were canceled, and others were expedited...

Nora Scott’s every move in the show could become a business opportunity for them.

And, under the watchful eyes of fans and businessmen, Nora Scott, after watching the variety show to pass the time, went back to the small study to video call Hardy Rivers, continuing to explain the blueprints, wishing desperately this was something money could solve, otherwise she would go bankrupt to hire someone for it.

"Is that Nora Scott from ’On the Road’ you?"

Hardy Rivers asked unhurriedly.

Nora Scott responded with a "Hmm."

Hardy Rivers: "My mom likes you a lot."

Nora Scott: "?"

Hardy Rivers: "Would you mind coming to my house as a guest?"

Nora Scott was taken aback, "Hmm?"

After a pause, Hardy Rivers glanced toward the study door, saw the excited person there, sighed, and said straightforwardly, "She wants to take you as her goddaughter."

Nora Scott: "..."

——Evelyn Easton really doesn’t know how to cherish.
