Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

After answering Zhang Yixing, Sun Honglei turned his gaze to Jiang Chengyu.

"Xiaoyu, the rest is up to you."

Jiang Chengyu made an OK sign and said with a nonchalant expression.

"One Star, give me a gold bar. Teacher Huang Lei, give me another gold bar, and the competition can end."

Upon hearing this, Sun Honglei's small eyes widened: "It's that simple?"

"Otherwise what?"

"I thought... Oh dear, this is too easy, I'm a little unsure."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengyu's lips instinctively curled upwards.

"What? You want me to put on a show?"

Huang Bo understood the implication: "Xiao Yu, then tell us everything you know."

"Let's lose clearly too."

Jiang Chengyu nodded: "Then I'll begin."

Jiang Chengyu cleared his throat and first released three pieces of data that he already knew.

"The little pig initially took thirty-eight gold bars."

"I took forty-five gold bars."

"I just asked Brother Hong Lei, and he said he had fourteen gold bars in his hand after he robbed the one-star."

"When I was in Sheshan, I bought a key from Brother Lei for fifteen gold bars."

"After the transaction is completed, Brother Lei will be the one among us who holds the most gold bars."

"Then it was quite a struggle for us to fit forty-five gold bars into our suitcase."

"Brother Lei was quick at accumulating gold bars in Sheshan."

"From this, we can infer that Lei Ge had between thirty-nine and forty-four gold bars at the time."

"Next up is crowdfunding to save a star."

"Brother Lei took out seventeen gold bars, so the number of gold bars in his hand became between twenty-two and twenty-seven."

"The little pig took out fifteen gold bars, and the number of gold bars in his hand became twenty-one."

"Brother Bo... he'd rather die than hand over his gold bars."

"So I guess he has very few gold bars, most likely less than twenty."

"The number of one-star gold bars has increased from zero to thirty-two."

"In the end, it was Little Pig who stole Brother Hong Lei."

"The fourteen gold bars were divided up by Little Pig, Brother Bo, and Brother Lei."

"The little pig took two, and it became twenty-three."

"Brother Lei took three, which cost between twenty-five and thirty yuan."

"There's no need to calculate Bo Ge; he's no threat at all."

"And now I have thirty gold bars in my hand."

"So we'll take one gold bar from Brother Lei's possession to make sure he doesn't have thirty."

"If I increase the number of gold bars I hold and keep the number of gold bars held by One-Star below mine, he's guaranteed to win!"

Jiang Chengyu's words were not particularly brilliant, but they were logically sound, prompting the others to applaud instinctively.

After the applause subsided, Huang Lei suddenly let out a mischievous laugh.

"Xiaoyu has explained the situation so clearly, wouldn't it be a shame not to do something?"

As he spoke, Huang Lei waved the mysterious key in his hand.

"I have special privileges."

"If I use my special privileges now, will I be guaranteed to win?"

Huang Lei's words caused the scene to freeze for a moment.

Before anyone could react, Huang Lei took a gold bar out of the box and handed it to Jiang Chengyu, saying with a smile.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

"This last part was too bland. I'll ask the production team to cut more footage from it."

A disturbance suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.

There's not much to say after that.

After a ten-minute countdown, Wang Zijian announced the final winner.

But Wang Zijian felt that his job was no longer important.

He himself said, "You all already know everything, so what's the point of me announcing it?"

"I was originally planning to copy the ranking announcement method from 'I Am a Singer' and mess with you guys."

"That's so boring."

After venting his frustrations, Wang Zijian demonstrated the basic skills of a stand-up comedian and a crosstalk performer by quickly announcing the results.

As expected, Zhang Yixing emerged as the winner of this episode.

It's worth mentioning that Huang Bo ended up holding 21 gold bars, while Huang Lei held 23 gold bars.

After the show's recording ended, the six members of the "Go Fighting!" team finally relaxed completely.

Huang Lei stretched his arms: "I've been carrying gold bars all day, I'm exhausted."

Huang Bo chimed in, "I'm fine. Twelve gold bars aren't heavy for me. It's Little Pig and Jiang Chengyu who are really scary."

The little pig waved its hand: "Don't even mention it, I felt like dying when I was climbing Sheshan."

We had barely started talking when staff from the program crew arrived with people from Jinliufu to inspect the gold bars on site.

Seeing this, Sun Honglei stood up: "Let's stop chatting here and go find somewhere to eat."

Everyone else stood up as well.

Huang Lei asked, "Does anyone know any good places nearby? Or should we go back to the hotel to eat?"

Huang Bo offered his opinion: "Let's go back to the hotel."

"You can rest upstairs after eating; otherwise, you'll have to fuss around for a while after dinner."

No one had any objections to this.

Then, the six of them took a car back to the hotel.

The group went back to their rooms to wash up first, and then met up in the private room downstairs.

At this point, Jiang Chengyu was completely unaware that anything was amiss.

Huang Lei ordered a dish of sea cucumber and abalone stew, saying, "I'm exhausted today, I need to eat something good to replenish myself."

A simple sentence struck Jiang Chengyu like a bolt of lightning.

It instantly reminded him of two things.

The first thing is, I haven't taken my health-preserving pills yet.

The second thing is, did he drink the [Peak Physique Limited Time Potion] today? Was it an all-around peak?

If so, then...

He drank it around 8 a.m.

It's a little past eight o'clock now.

The effect of the [Peak Physique Limited Time Potion] lasts for sixteen hours.

In other words, he can still be at his peak for four hours.

If the potion is the pinnacle of all-around effectiveness... Thinking of this, Jiang Chengyu couldn't sit still.

[Peak Physique Limited-Time Potion] It's so expensive, he has to make good use of the remaining four hours!

Jiang Chengyu immediately stood up, apologizing repeatedly, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered something I need to take care of right away."

"I won't eat this meal. Let's get together another day."

As he spoke, Jiang Chengyu had already left his seat.

Seeing Jiang Chengyu in such a hurry, everyone else was quite bewildered.

Sun Honglei was the first to stand up: "What's the rush?"

"Do you need any help from us?"

Jiang Chengyu waved his hands repeatedly: "No need, no need, it's a matter for my company."

"You guys keep eating, don't worry about me, I'm leaving now."

Jiang Chengyu has absolutely no interest in social niceties right now.

They weren't even given a chance to speak.

As they spoke, they walked to the door of the private room, finished speaking, and left immediately.

I found my car in the hotel parking lot and sped home.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Chengyu had plenty of time.

But he was really in a hurry.

He desperately wanted to prove himself.

This can be understood from the fact that Jiang Chengyu earned popularity points and reserved those points for buying Dragon Tiger Pills early on.

Looking back to two years ago, when Jiang Chengyu had just gotten together with Zhang Ruonan, he was already on a downward spiral.

So from Zhang Ruonan's perspective...
