Erina Nakiri had just acknowledged Su Ze's position in the family, and it wouldn't be right for her to contradict herself. Hearing this, she gritted her teeth and decided that she could just go to bed early that night.

“Okay.” Erina Nakiri said with a sigh, “Tell me what you want for breakfast, and I’ll prepare it for you with fresh ingredients.”

“I can eat any of the breakfast you make, no need to be so picky,” Su Ze replied after thinking for a moment.

Yu Nagasawa recorded the entire process and discovered that Suze and Erina's team was indeed very strong.

Sentence after sentence.

They're constantly showing off their affection.

So you two brought prop kits to the competition? A whole sack of flashbangs, you can't even throw them all out?

You two manage to derive new topics from previous discussions and start a new round of debate.

Most importantly, the questions were all designed by the production team, and each question had bonus points for being ambiguous, with both sides sharing the questions and answers.

The carefully designed questions and pre-prepared segments naturally guide the guests to subconsciously show affection to the audience.

When this kind of question is discussed again, it's hard for the guests not to show off their affection.

However, Su Ze directly abandoned the original topic and came up with new topics to talk about. The production team was worried that the topic would become bland, but he managed to show off his skills in these strange topics.

"The time for the exchange has come to an end. Our team of psychological experts in emotional counseling has compiled the questions and answers from both of you, and we have ultimately given you a high compatibility score of 96."

Erina Nakiri raised her hand, which wasn't exactly an interruption, but it was clear she had a question to ask.

"Excuse me, were we asked the same questions?" Erina Nakiri asked, seeing the other person's gesture and knowing it was time to start asking.

"Relatively speaking, most of the questions asked were the same," the narrator mused.

"96 points is too high," Erina Nakiri complained. "Suze and I often have differing opinions, so I'm sure this level of understanding is inflated."

"Having differing opinions doesn't mean there's a low level of understanding." The narrator, after hearing the hint from the person next to him, relayed the message to Su Ze.

"For example, one of you wants to buy a desktop computer and the other wants to buy a laptop computer. You each have your own opinions, and in the end, neither of you takes the other's advice."

"This doesn't entirely explain the problem of a lack of understanding."

"Alright, we will tell you our questions and answers in order."

"In this issue, the two of you have only one point of disagreement."

"And we will also broaden the scope of this discussion."

"The topic is—in the relationship between the two guests, who pursued whom first?"

......

Chapter 75 Program Task Cards: Different Levels of Rewards.

There are differing opinions on the answers?

Su Ze was referring to Erina, whom he was pursuing. Since there are differing opinions, the answer is self-evident.

Erina was probably referring to Su Ze, whom she pursued.

To gain the upper hand, you must seize a key point and hold it firmly.

"I was the one who pursued him/her first." Su Ze and Erina Nakiri gave two different answers at the same time.

They spoke at the same pace.

Su Ze thought that if he spoke like that, Erina would agree and let him confirm the situation, but who would have thought that Erina would say the same thing as him, and that the answer would be different again.

So, who pursued whom first?

The bystanders were all dumbfounded.

How can there be disagreement on this issue? There can't possibly be a third scenario.

Either the man pursued the woman, or the woman pursued the man, unless both parties wanted to save face for the other and took the initiative themselves.

In theory, it's better if the man admits that he took the initiative to pursue her.

Su Ze didn't give Erina a chance to speak again.

I can't figure out what Erina is thinking.

As a goddess-level figure in the culinary world, her taking the initiative to pursue Su Ze would surely bring tears to the eyes of countless fans. Su Ze certainly couldn't disregard Erina's feelings to boost his own prestige.

Oh, although Suze and Erina's marriage already brought tears to the eyes of countless fans, we can't keep hurting the fans, right?

Besides, their relationship wasn't actually initiated by Erina.

That arrogant, haughty girl, is she the type to actively pursue someone else? She's more mature now, and knows how to protect her man and save face for him.

But Su Ze felt that there was really no need to do that.

The thought is what counts.

"I pursued her first. My wife was being lenient with me, but for me, it's not something I can't admit." Su Ze immediately sealed the deal and also passed the buck to Erina.

Tell her not to get involved in this.

"What do I, a poor, unrefined chef, have to offer to make Miss Erina chase after me? Do you think I'm handsome?" Su Ze asked the camera.

The narrators on variety shows aren't usually the serious type. As soon as Su Ze said that, the other person immediately said, "I actually think you're quite handsome, and you fit most people's aesthetic standards."

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm just average-looking." Su Ze accepted the compliment, but responded modestly, "As for who pursued whom, there's no need to question it."

"The person I pursued was Erina. From the first moment I saw her, I knew I was going to marry her."

Su Ze said.

The narrator chimed in, "Love at first sight?"

“That’s right, as everyone probably knows, I didn’t get into Totsuki Academy directly. I actually have absolutely no interest in cooking,” Su Ze said, word by word.

???

? ? ? ? ? ?

You're not interested in cooking?

They easily crushed the food street, and you call that not being interested in cooking? If they weren't interested, how could they have studied it so thoroughly? How could their culinary skills be so high?

Hearing Su Ze's words, no one else believed him.

"It was after seeing Erina Nakiri that I decided to study cooking, because I knew that if I didn't learn to cook, I wouldn't be able to get close to Erina." Su Ze continued, "If I want to marry this princess of the Nakiri family, then I must make a name for myself in cooking."

Silly.

Su Ze's logic was surprisingly plausible.

He fell in love with Erina at first sight and learned to cook in order to get closer to her.

So, it's very likely that he's genuinely uninterested in cooking.

Knowing that you need to get closer to Erina and pursue her, you must hone your culinary skills, even if you have no interest in cooking.

As a result, after some casual experimentation, he inadvertently outshone the food court and won Erina's heart with his culinary skills.

Everything about the Destiny Stone can be explained clearly with logic.

This person's culinary talent is undeniable; this is a classic example of cooking learned on the spot, not something cultivated from childhood.

After Su Ze's words, it was pretty much confirmed that he was the one who actively pursued Nakiri Erina.

"I've already explained who pursued whom first. I'm so glad Erina accepted me, and I'm doing my best to give her a happy life," Su Ze concluded.

"And you guys, don't go too far. Why are you asking others these kinds of questions?" Su Ze deliberately raised his voice and shouted.

Everyone had a smile on their face.

It was obvious from Su Ze's words that he was faking his anger.

Nagasawa Yu patted the photographer on the shoulder, marking the end of this scene's filming. She said, "The guests' opening remarks and introductions are done for this round of filming."

"The next round is the program tasks for the first day."

“You will receive a card with clues to guide you through a mission. Depending on your completion of the mission, we will arrange accommodation for you to rest,” Nagasawa Yu said.

"Does a higher mission completion rate mean a better standard and scale of accommodation for rest?" Su Ze asked.

"That's not the case. We treat everyone equally. All guests live in the same villa, but couples who achieve an A-level completion rate can stay in the master bedroom of the villa."

"The master bedroom has a private shower and toilet, as well as a balcony, and is also the largest room in the villa."

"Couples with a completion rating of B will stay in the second bedroom of the villa, which does not have a private shower room or toilet. They will have to share with couples with ratings of C and D."

"Couples with a C or D rating in completion will live in the storage room, while those with a D rating will have to sleep on the living room floor," Nagasawa Yu explained the game rules and rewards.

"Is it that cruel?" Su Ze complained. "Didn't they say there would be no punishment?"

"There is indeed no punishment, but the treatment is different. Grade A has the best treatment, and Grade D has the worst treatment."

"Then an A-level rating is a must-win." Erina Nakiri's morale soared. A private shower room and toilet were extremely important to her, and she was determined to get them.

"So are all the task cards the same? And how difficult are the tasks?" Su Ze wanted to clarify the game rules first, hoping to get some useful information from Nagasawa Yu.

“Each group’s task card is different and will be randomly drawn. However, the difficulty of the tasks will be balanced, and there will be no situation where one side is very difficult and the other side is very easy,” Nagasawa Yu said calmly. “All the tasks are tailored to each guest’s profession.”

"However, it doesn't mean you'll definitely receive a mission card that's suitable for your profession."

"You may also receive task cards related to the professions of other guests, and these task cards can be exchanged among the guests. As for whether there are any additional conditions in the exchange process, you can decide for yourselves."

"Our production team only provides task cards."

......

Chapter 76 Su Ze, a cunning villain

Su Ze waited for Nagasawa Yu's voice to fade away, paused for a few seconds, and, confirming that she wouldn't say anything more, added, "Director, I remember you said that in the first episode, all the guests wouldn't see each other? So how do they exchange task cards?"

"We won't be able to meet in person, but that doesn't mean we can't meet," Nagasawa Yu said with a smile. "When you get the mission card, you'll know how to meet the other guests."

"Oh, is that so?" Su Ze pondered for a moment. "Then please issue the task card."

Suddenly, a giant paper ball was thrown next to Su Ze. It slowly rolled over, and someone seemed to think it was rolling too slowly, so they kicked it from behind.

Variety shows are primarily for entertainment, and many are designed for the sake of creating a good show. Therefore, it is crucial that the guests can cooperate well with the atmosphere that the show deliberately creates.

Guests with high emotional intelligence or a natural sense of humor tend to be very compatible on variety shows.

Su Ze bent down and rummaged inside.

He took out a piece of paper that felt smooth but was quite tough, and looked at the words on it.

Main quest: Go to Dongxue Chess Club, find any chessboard inside the club and win.

"If there's a main quest, there should also be side quests and hidden quests, right?" Su Ze read the contents of the document, first showing it to Erina for her to see, and then asking Nagasawa Yu his question again.

“Yes, but we won’t provide that information. We’ll be following you around the whole time and scoring you based on your performance,” Nagasawa Yu replied slowly.

“I remember there was a chess player among the guests this episode, so this task is obviously prepared for him.” A sly smile suddenly appeared on Su Ze’s face.

"No wonder your program team said that the guests would have the opportunity to meet. In this suburb, there is only one chess club, Dongxue Chess Club."

"Other chess clubs are at least a two-hour drive away."

"If that chess player guest sees the task card, he will soon realize that these tasks are prepared according to each person's profession. As a chess player, he can simply go to the Dongxue Chess Club and wait for the couple who received the chess player task card."

Su Ze's logic is quite quick.

"So, are you planning to exchange missions?" Erina Nakiri asked timidly from the side. She remembered that Su Ze was very good at chess. He played chess with Senzaemon Nakiri every day and had developed excellent chess skills.

After all, having played chess for so many years, even without talent, one has ample experience. Finding a table in the chess club and a novice to beat is not an easy task.

Su Ze's smile widened.

He can do what others can do, and he can do things that others can't. This means that this will represent a painful torment from Su Ze.

That chess player guest must be eager to get a task related to chess, so he will definitely be able to offer very good terms during the exchange.

Su Ze could clearly exploit the other party's value in this regard.

He can listen to the other person's task, judge whether the task is easy or not, estimate whether he can achieve an A-level rating, and if he can do it, he will switch tasks; if he can't, he will block the other person's task and not switch tasks with them.

"I remember you're pretty good at Go, right?" Erina Nakiri didn't hide anything here; she was a very frank person.

Su Ze is a skilled Go player, as Erina Nakiri knows.

"Hmm." Su Ze stopped hiding it. This wasn't some insidious tactic; it was an open strategy.

"Let's see what task card that chess player guest brought me. But no matter how easy or difficult it is for me, after thinking about it carefully, I probably won't change the task card."

Su Ze explained his thought process: "I'll exchange task cards with him. He completes the tasks, and if he does them well, he gets an A-level rating. There should only be one rating for each level."
