The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

At 7 p.m., as darkness fell, Wu Lei had the seven groups of fourteen guests gathered together to announce the evening's tasks.

Tonight's mission completely baffled everyone present, including Ye Linyuan and Luo Qingyue.

"Wait a minute, I didn't hear you very clearly."

Yu Chao took two steps to stand in front of Wu Lei, looking speechless.

"I didn't hear you clearly, can I say it again?"

Wu Lei knew his task was insane, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he crossed his arms and said with a smile.

"This isn't about repeating what I've said; it's about how people like us who have never worked in the forging industry are expected to forge a machete for tomorrow before going to bed at night!"

That's right, Wu Lei's task is to get the seven groups of fourteen guests to come up with the machetes they'll need for hiking the mountain trails tomorrow!

"Then that's not my problem. You'll have to figure it out yourselves. Whether you cooperate or go it alone, you'll have to forge a powerful weapon, otherwise the mountain road tomorrow will be very difficult to traverse, hahahahahahaha."

"And since you don't know how to forge now, can't you just learn? Anyway, the internet is so developed now, there are plenty of forging tutorial videos. In addition, to make it easier for everyone to forge suitable machetes, we have specially provided a considerable amount of high-quality materials, enough power hammers, and electric furnaces that can precisely control the temperature. Compared with ordinary forging, the difficulty has been reduced a lot."

"Of course, if you prefer to use a manual hammer, that's fine too. The instruction manuals for all the equipment and materials are already there."

After Wu Lei finished speaking, he laughed and then ignored Yu Chao's ugly expression, which looked like he had swallowed a ton of flies, and turned to look at the live broadcast room.

"Dear viewers, I'm sure you're all eager to see what kind of performance our guests will deliver next. Let's wait and see!"

The live stream room erupted in chaos as soon as Wu Lei finished speaking.

[No, Director Wu, aren't you making things difficult for them? Which guest knows how to forge iron?]

[That's right, Director Wu is so mean! Isn't he just making things difficult for these guests?]

But then again, if the whole show is just cooking or hide-and-seek, it'll be really boring. I'm actually looking forward to tonight's blacksmithing segment.

Hehehe, to be honest, I'm looking forward to it just as much.

I really don't understand what's going on in Director Wu's head, hahaha, how could he come up with such a difficult task, he's a real genius!

All I can say is, Director Wu is awesome! Director Wu is mighty! Director Wu is domineering! Director Wu is the best!

[Speaking of which, if these guests don't know how to forge, then what was the point of Director Wu announcing the mission?]

This is something the production team should worry about. What does it have to do with us? We're just here to watch the show.

[Exactly! Besides, Director Wu said tomorrow's task involves hiking on mountain roads and requires a machete. Without a machete, I think these guests are in for a rough time tomorrow.]

[Hehehe, the others are actually a bit easier to handle, but the Ye siblings and the Luo sisters are having a tough time today. And tomorrow's task of walking the mountain path will probably be even more life-threatening for them, right?]

[That's what I think too. Maybe cooking is something they can dabble in because of their hobbies or interests, but blacksmithing is something that even normal people wouldn't get involved in, let alone pampered young masters and ladies like them. Unless it's a family tradition or they truly love blacksmithing, they wouldn't master this skill.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, I can only say, Director Wu truly lives up to his name, to come up with such a despicable trick, isn't he afraid of retaliation from the Ye and Luo families?]

Alright, alright, looks like there's nothing much to watch tonight. Tomorrow's the main event, so I need to be well-rested and get to the live stream early tomorrow.

[Yes, yes, the person upstairs is right. We need to go to bed early tonight so we can see a great show tomorrow.]

【….】

In the director's room, Wu Lei, who had just returned, couldn't help but laugh out loud as he looked at the various comments in the live stream.

"Hahaha, no matter what kind of program it is, only by being unexpected can you attract people's attention. Otherwise, it will decline quickly after the peak. Especially for a live program like ours, which spans two days and two nights, a total of forty-eight hours, no matter how high the popularity is today, it does not mean that the popularity will be the same tomorrow. But right now, everyone is looking forward to tomorrow's program."

Upon hearing this, Sheng Rong couldn't help but nod and silently gave his old partner a thumbs up.

Although his old partner's career had not been very successful in the first half of his life, he has been doing very well since taking over the task from the station's leaders. This wave of success is enough to make him the most outstanding variety show director in 25 years!

none of them!

"But Lao Wu, like the netizens have said, have you considered that your outrageous task might offend the Ye and Luo families?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Lei casually waved his hand.

"Don't worry, didn't we say from the beginning that the mission would be bizarre and everyone should be mentally prepared? Besides, we didn't expect them to manually forge a machete themselves. Anyway, we'll have them exchange points for a machete tomorrow. At most, they'll just lose sleep tonight."

To be honest, Wu Lei never expected these guests to actually hammer a machete. He just said that to let them know that the mountain road would be difficult tomorrow, so that they would keep thinking about it tonight and not get a good night's rest.

In this way, when I appear before them again tomorrow with the machete, they will be extremely grateful to me, and may even go to great lengths to overdraft their points to obtain the machete.

It's important to know that today's episode of "We Are a Loving Family" is just a warm-up. Tomorrow is the final round, and there will only be one winner. Whoever has the highest score will be the ultimate winner!

Of course, the prerequisite is that the score cannot be negative. If it is negative, there will be a penalty game.

This is probably the show that viewers are most looking forward to.

In order to keep the audience's expectations up, he even specially postponed the punishment game that was originally supposed to be carried out immediately after the hide-and-seek game to tomorrow, and instead had the guests cook dinner themselves to pass the time.

"Holy crap! Director Wu, Director Sheng, look! Look at the big screen!"

Upon hearing a staff member's exclamation, Wu Lei and Sheng Rong instinctively looked at the large screen, and then both of them stared wide-eyed at the scene on the screen in disbelief.

"My God! Is this even possible?"
