Stop it, the country really can't fit any more bans on the domestic entertainment industry.

"I see."

at this time.

At the edge of the field, the corn leaves rustled in the wind.

Teacher Huang looked in the direction of the broadcasting station in the distance.

A slight smile played on his lips as he sat back down on the newly repaired stool, still fiddling with the terrifying mortar shell in his hand, as if he were playing with two walnuts.

Teacher Huang stroked his chin, looking like a fortune teller, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, and with an expression that said, "I've seen through everything," he analyzed to He Ling and her sister, who were still in a daze beside him:

"That old bastard Wang Yuzheng is definitely putting on an act!"

He Ling blinked, still reeling from the shock of the broadcast's "They're all bombs," and subconsciously asked, "Acting? But... this is too real, isn't it? What Mo An said just now sounded pretty real."

"real?"

Teacher Huang chuckled and shook his head, giving her an expression that said, "You're still too young."

"Teacher He, think about it. Don't you know how cowardly Wang Yuzheng is? Even if he had eight times the courage, he wouldn't dare let us actually play with bombs."

At this point, Teacher Huang got even more excited. As a veteran of variety shows who has been in the entertainment industry for decades, his thinking quickly diverged, and he began his "serious but nonsensical analysis".

He lowered his voice and said mysteriously to the two of them:

"I bet Wang Yuzheng thinks our season's opening ratings weren't explosive enough, so he came up with a ruthless plan."

"He definitely bought trending searches and even hired a bunch of so-called military vehicles and police cars to act as extras, just to create an atmosphere of 'there really is a bomb here.'"

The more Teacher Huang talked, the more convinced he became of his analysis, and he brandished the mortar shell in his hand with great flair.

"Maybe all sorts of rumors are already flying around online right now? Anyway, all sorts of dubious information, and it might even create a meme."

He paused, a sudden inspiration struck him, and he said with extreme confidence:

"They don't call us Mushroom House, they call us 'Mushroom Bombs'! It means we're very tough."

"what?"

Zhang Zifeng, who had been silent the whole time, blinked when she heard this and took out her phone from her pocket.

She opened Weibo, glanced at the trending topics, and was completely stunned.

She looked up at Teacher Huang with eyes full of admiration and disbelief, and slowly gave Teacher Huang a thumbs up.

"Dad Huang...you're amazing!"

The younger sister showed the two of them her phone screen, and there was a trending topic on the hot search list: #MushroomHouseTurnsIntoMushroomBombs#.

"See? I told you so!"

Teacher Huang glanced at the screen, a smug smile spreading across her face, but then she adopted a parental authority and said in a serious tone, "Put your phone away. We're recording a variety show, don't keep looking at your phone."

The younger sister stuck out her tongue and obediently put her phone away, but in her heart she admired Teacher Huang immensely and was completely led astray by him.

Even Teacher He Ling was initially quite anxious.

After all, when he heard Li Mo'an and Wang Yuzheng's conversation over the loudspeaker, their tone was so certain that he thought the metal lumps they dug out really were bombs.

But now, hearing Teacher Huang's logically rigorous and meticulous analysis, which even predicted the trending topics, the mountain in his heart has begun to shake.

"Um...is that so?" He Ling asked hesitantly, but her tone had softened considerably.

"That must be it!"

Teacher Huang glanced at He Ling and smiled even more confidently.

To further prove his judgment, he even boldly speculated:

"Not only that, I'd bet everyone in our live stream chat is playing along, putting on a full show."

"Those netizens must have been sending bullet comments, reminding me that 'there's a real bomb here,' and even saying things like 'Teacher Huang, Teacher He, and little sister, run!'"

He Ling approached the camera next to her with some skepticism and glanced at the real-time bullet screen monitor hanging on it.

Upon seeing this, his eyes widened in astonishment.

Teacher Huang was right!

The screen was filled with warnings:

"Teacher Huang, stop analyzing! It's true!"

"Please, run! That's an invitation from the King of Hell!"

"You 'Master Calculator,' do you even deserve your nickname?"

"Just tell me if your calculation is correct or not?"

"The result is all correct, but the process is completely wrong!"

"Teacher Huang, you truly deserve to be called the inventor of poisonous green beans. You're really poisonous; even Teacher He has been misled by you."

He Ling looked at the comments and then at Teacher Huang, and was speechless for a moment.

This... Teacher Huang actually predicted it correctly? Wasn't his character as a fortune teller supposed to be part of the script?

"See, what did I tell you?"

Teacher Huang glanced at the comments and saw the anxious words. Instead of being afraid, he became even more convinced of his judgment.

He pointed at the comments, looking like he'd seen through the trick, and said to He Ling:

"These netizens are definitely putting on an act. Even after I exposed them, they still insisted that it was a real bomb and said that Teacher He was misled by me."

"The netizens that Director Wang found are of really high quality."

After this analysis, He Ling realized he had been misled. He nodded, agreeing with what Teacher Huang said.

Looking at the comments, Teacher Huang became even more convinced that they were all paid trolls hired by that old bastard Wang Yuzheng.

"Why."

Then, he sighed inwardly.

Actually, the reason he went to such lengths to expose Wang Yuzheng's hype and attributed it all to the "script" was for the good of his old friend.

To reiterate, this old friend must be under too much pressure because of the poor ratings at the start of this season, so he's resorting to all sorts of extreme measures, even some risky ones, to boost ratings.

If this kind of fabricated "fake news" story were actually taken seriously and exposed later, the impact would be extremely negative; it would be deceiving the audience.

However, if he were to reveal now that this was Wang Yuzheng's script...

When others hear him say this, they will assume it's for variety show effect, a "joke" that the director instructed him to say.

In this way, the nature of the matter changes.

It went from "deception" to "pranks".

People will only think that the production team is clever, rather than feeling fooled, and therefore there will be no negative impact.

"Old Wang, I've gone to great lengths for this show of yours."

Teacher Huang felt a surge of self-satisfaction, believing himself to be a shining and noble figure.

Thinking of this, Teacher Huang seemed to have realized some key point.

He dusted off his hands, stood up, straightened his collar, and looked with an unusually determined gaze toward the broadcasting station.

"What's wrong, Teacher Huang? Where are you going?" He Ling and her sister asked quickly when they saw this.

Without turning his head, Teacher Huang strode away with his hands behind his back, leaving the two with a desolate and heroic figure, like a hero departing never to return.

As he walked, he said in a deep voice:

"There's a major flaw in Director Wang's script that I need to fix!"

"A mistake?" He Ling was taken aback.

"right!"

Teacher Huang continued walking without turning her head, her back to everyone, and shook one finger:

"In this scenario where everyone believes the bomb is real, it's illogical for Li Mo'an to be the only one digging. How could a newcomer have such skills and know so much about explosives?"

"Therefore, there should be a 'teacher' character for Li Mo'an in the script."

"In other words, Li Mo'an's ability to dig up real bombs and his knowledge of so many different types were actually guided by this teacher behind the scenes."

The more Teacher Huang thought about it, the more perfect the idea seemed; it was simply a stroke of genius.

"In the ending of this script, the authorities must have been alerted, and then officials or a professional mine-clearing team actually came."

"At that time, in order to protect Li Mo'an, this newcomer, and also to elevate the plot, it should be this teacher who steps forward in the end."

He would say that he taught them all and did all of this himself, and that it had nothing to do with his apprentices.

"Then, this teacher becomes the scapegoat, taking all the 'responsibility' and 'traffic'."

Speaking of which...

He paused, turned back to give He Ling a charming smile, and said with great enthusiasm:

"Who else but me can take on this role as a teacher!"

Moreover, there's something else going on in this, Teacher Huang.

It's important to know that the reason he has such a high status in the entertainment industry and has so many students is because he has taken on apprentices everywhere. To put it more nicely, he likes to mentor younger generations and has taken on many promising apprentices.

After observing him for the past few days, he felt that although Li Mo'an was a bit eccentric and had a rather peculiar way of thinking, he was indeed a very promising young man.

Both their physical appearance and their unique, calm demeanor are rare resources in the entertainment industry.

He had even unilaterally decided in his mind to take this kid as his apprentice.

Now is the perfect time to take advantage of this "script" and legitimately break through this barrier.

Although the script was fake, and the bomb was fake.

But after all this back and forth, with the entire internet audience witnessing it, he "stood up" for his apprentice, and Li Mo'an really became his apprentice, didn't he?

He not only did a favor, but also gained a talented apprentice and helped the director smooth things over.

That's killing three birds with one stone!

No, it's killing four birds with one stone; he can also shine in this variety show.

Thinking about this, Teacher Huang felt incredibly proud, thinking he was simply a genius.

Unable to contain their emotions, they all burst into laughter.

Without further hesitation, he laughed heartily and strode towards the radio station, which was at the center of the storm, ready to embrace his "shining moment."

I laughed heartily as I went out the door, and from then on, I became the king of variety shows.

In the live stream, countless netizens who knew the truth watched Teacher Huang's resolute and willing figure as he took the blame, and the chat burst into laughter, but also felt a genuine sense of worry.

"Hahaha, this is unbearable! Teacher Huang is practically offering himself up for disaster!"

"He's going to be the scapegoat? And even claim he taught him? Oh no, he's really in deep trouble now!"

"Teacher Huang: Let go of that bomb, let me handle it!"

"This isn't just a worrying future; it's like he's headed for a sewing machine job!"

Is it possible that Teacher Huang is actually a ruthless person? That he's not even afraid of his criminal record for the sake of the show's effect?

However, Teacher Huang cannot see these things.

He is now filled with his own glorious and magnificent image, and is walking step by step into the pit that will make him "go down in history".

It's not exactly a huge pitfall.

At the very least, he will truly leave his mark on the history of variety shows.
