Shattering the talent show script, sweeping the world film scene

4399: [Congratulations, host, you have surpassed one million followers!]

Jiangxi Heng caught up with the group and asked casually, "Our practice footage is supposed to be kept confidential, which means the production team has fewer shots of the original Group B. So why did I gain followers?"

4399 listened with delight to the sound of civilization points being credited to his account, the ding-dong sound comparable to "Alipay received xxx yuan".

[A fan of the "You and Xingbao" couple edited a video that went viral, sparking a backlash from other fans of the same couple. Just then, the show released a video showing the couple's on-screen breakup... Congratulations, host, you've become the biggest winner in this battle!]

"Star Baby?"

Jiangxi Heng muttered to himself, glancing out of the corner of his eye at Xie Xingyan beside him: "Xie Xingyan?"

4399 transformed into a red heart, bouncing and jumping around the two of them. This strange sight was visible only to Jiangxi Heng.

[Yes, "Xingbao" is the nickname Xie Xingyan's fans give him. Your fans used to call you "Hengbao" too!]

Jiangxi Heng paused for a moment.

4399 added: "But now they call you Heng-ge (Brother Heng)."

Jiangxi Heng chuckled lightly: "Xie Xingyan didn't call."

He kept calling me by my full name, even in front of the camera. This silly kid has no idea how to create a romantic pairing. If I hadn't been there to guide him, he probably would have seen through me on the very first day.

"You really like Xie Xingyan? You even call him Xingbao?"

4399 chuckled, rubbing his hands together excitedly: "[I'm a fan of your pairing now too! Can't I like your wife?]"

Jiangxi Heng crushed the red heart with his hand, then suddenly quickened his pace and walked in front of Xie Xingyan, like a gust of wind that had never stopped for anyone.

Xie Xingyan was slightly taken aback. He didn't see clearly when Jiangxi Heng raised his hand, but he could sense the other party's eagerness to leave at that moment.

Why?

Is it because their ranking improved that they went from being collaborators to adversaries?

The fourth round was their last collaboration in the camp; the final was ruthless and a fight to the death.

Xie Xingyan, who clearly longed for victory and yearned to debut, was thinking at that moment: Jiangxi Heng can't sing yet, how should he deal with the finals?

It felt like a hurricane had been poured into my left chest, the wind blades scraping against the supple inner walls, causing a dull, aching pain.

Xie Xingyan sighed softly, just like the night she observed the Big Dipper, and quietly followed behind Jiangxi Heng to the location of this group activity.

"You're so outspoken, you're out of pocket tomorrow."

The usually gentle and tolerant man's brows furrowed with a hint of annoyance as he cruelly canceled his pet's allowance for tomorrow.

4399 shattered into pieces on the ground with a snap.

[Host Daddy, I was wrong!]

Jiangxi Heng rubbed his temples and sighed, "Xiao Jiu, Xie Xingyan is Xie Xingyan. He's a boy, not someone's wife. Your behavior is disrespectful to him. The netizens are making a fuss because they don't know about our relationship. Don't you know that?"

4399 didn't dare to speak, but just nodded pitifully.

But in my heart I was thinking, isn't shipping couples just about knowing it's fake but feeling it's real emotionally?

Jiangxi Heng stopped communicating with the system because Ai Xu, the organizer of this event, appeared in front of the 22 contestants.

This senior student, who was in charge of rap instruction in the camp and had a very low profile, waved to everyone and said, "Everyone, please choose a seat."

There were 22 chairs arranged in a circle in front of him. Ai Xu stood in the center of the circle and said, "For the group activities of the fourth public performance, the production team has decided to do a dormitory game episode."

Dormitory games are a frequent feature in bonus videos.

Many contestants would deliberately huddle together and play so-called dormitory games in order to get screen time.

Hearing Ai Xu say this, the players who often played games smiled. They had experience playing games, and they were sure they would stand out in this group activity.

Some contestants looked troubled, and Zhou Lehui voiced their concerns: "Senior Ai, we've never played dormitory games before!"

Since it was announced that this group activity would be a dormitory game, Xie Xingyan's heart started pounding. He nervously lowered his head and licked his lips. No one knew that he was actually a gaming black hole. He wasn't afraid of physical games, but he was most afraid of intellectual games, and he was afraid of showing his stupidity in front of the camera.

Jiangxi Heng picked out two seats and beckoned Xie Xingyan over.

After a while, Gu Zhoubai pulled Ling Wushuang to sit to the left of Jiangxi Heng. Seeing this, Xu Yanqing felt that those on the same team should sit together, so he pulled Kong Sui to sit to the right of Xie Xingyan.

Surrounded by familiar teammates, Xie Xingyan gradually calmed down.

All the players were seated, and you could tell from their seating arrangements that some teams didn't have good internal relations.

For example, Gu Zhoubai abandoned Group A and "joined" Group B, but he pulled Ling Wushuang along. Netizens all know that the two have a good relationship, so they didn't say anything.

Once everyone was in place, Ai Xu began announcing the rules: "The name of this game is 'The Twelve Zodiac Animals'."

"Legend has it that when the zodiac animal rankings were released, the cat missed out on the twelve zodiac animals because of the rat's deception. Therefore, the vengeful cat decided to teach the rat a lesson. After hearing about this, some of the zodiac animals decided to protect the rat."

However, not all animals in the Chinese zodiac are stronger than cats; only the "Dragon, Tiger, Ox, and Snake" are not afraid of cats...

After telling the legend, Ai Xu began to explain the specific rules of the game.

Jiangxi Heng listened carefully and discovered that this was a game of mutual restraint, involving mental and physical strength, as well as trust and betrayal.

To put it simply, there are 22 contestants, 12 of whom are Chinese zodiac animals, with the rat among them.

The remaining ten are cats. The cats' ultimate task is to catch the mouse, while the mouse, under the protection of the dragon, tiger, ox, and snake, must fight back against the cats.

The specific method of operation is the classic game from the variety show "race"—tearing off name tags.

The so-called name tag ripping game involves sticking name tags with the contestant's name on their back. Once the name tag is ripped off, the contestant is out.

Upon hearing that it was a name tag ripping game, Xie Xingyan breathed a long sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid of games that required a high level of intelligence. The other contestants also displayed the liveliness typical of their age: "It's name tag ripping! I've been wanting to play this for ages!"

Ai Xu stopped everyone from making a fuss and continued, "There are still some rules that haven't been announced yet!"

The contestants sat back down on their stools.

Ai Xu: "Please note that there are traitors in this game. As long as the cat finds the converter hidden in the building and the badge representing the player, it can convert the player into an ally. Please note that the traitor's information will not be disclosed; only the converter knows it."

For example, suppose Gu Zhoubai is a cat. He finds the converter and discovers Zhou Lehui's badge. As long as he puts the badge into the converter, regardless of Zhou Lehui's identity, he will become a cat, but he will still retain the abilities of the zodiac.

Because the converter can only be used once, the cats need to make sure that the badge owner is one of the twelve zodiac animals, otherwise it's like using it for nothing.

If the Rat King badge is placed inside, congratulations, the cat wins the game immediately.
