Chapter 278 Final Grouping
After more than a dozen exciting rounds of rock-paper-scissors competition, Zhou Siming finally stood out from the many male guests with his keen observation and stable mentality, and won the opportunity to compete with Lu Qingxi. Director Song looked at Zhou Siming's eyes full of confidence and recognition, and smiled as he continued to explain the rules of the next game to everyone.
"You two, please stand on the two mats behind me and prepare for this heart-pounding duel." Director Song pointed to the mats that had been prepared long ago and said, "The rules of the game are very simple. You need to use various methods to speed up the opponent's heartbeat. The one with the highest heartbeat value within 3 minutes will lose. However, I want to remind you that if the heartbeat exceeds 20 for 130 consecutive seconds, the game will end early."
As Director Song finished speaking, the staff quickly put heart rate monitoring equipment on Lu Qingxi and Zhou Siming. The two stood on the fixed mat, their eyes met, as if time had frozen at this moment.
The moment they looked at each other, Zhou Siming felt his heart start to beat wildly uncontrollably. He felt an inexplicable tension surge into his heart, as if his whole body was tightly bound by an invisible force. He tried to stay calm, but his heart rate kept rising like a wild horse, and in less than 8 seconds, it had soared to 134.
Lu Qingxi also sensed Zhou Siming's abnormality. She slightly turned her eyes away and looked at Zhou Siming's ears which had turned red.
However, the result of the game was beyond everyone's expectations. After only half a minute, Director Song announced the end of the game. She walked up to Zhou Siming and said jokingly, "It seems that our Master Zhou was a little nervous today. He was defeated so quickly."
Zhou Sibei stood aside, watching her brother being so happy even though he lost the game for the first time, and she couldn't help but feel helpless. She shook her head secretly, thinking: "Brother, brother, you are so useless. But then again, no one should be able to resist Qingqing's charm."
After Lu Qingxi took off her bracelet, Han Yisu, who received 17 votes, became the next person to make a choice. Director Song knew that Han Yisu had feelings for Lu Qingxi, so when reading out the rules, he specifically mentioned that he could not choose a female guest he had already competed with. After hearing this rule, Han Yisu's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he lowered his head slightly, as if thinking about how to choose next.
At this moment, Zhou Sibei suddenly stood out from the crowd, raised her hand, and her eyes were firm and bright, as if to say, "Let me do it!" Han Yisu saw that it was her and nodded, and the competition began two minutes later. The two met each other's eyes in the air, and stared at each other intermittently for five minutes. These five minutes seemed to freeze time, making everyone present curious about what would happen next.
Finally, the values on the heart rate monitor stabilized. Zhou Sibei's heart rate was 113, and he seemed a little excited; while Han Yisu's heart rate was only 78, and he seemed unusually calm. This result did not surprise the other guests at the scene, after all, Zhou Sibei was a die-hard fan of Han Yisu.
Then, Director Song turned his attention to Yang Wuxi and Shen Ji. Since the two had the same number of votes, they needed to decide their opponents for the next round through PK. Shen Ji hesitated for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons. At this time, Yang Wuxi smiled and said, "Teacher Shen, choose first." Her voice was gentle and firm, giving people a sense of peace of mind.
Shen Ji nodded, but didn't know who to pick. Seeing this, Zhao Yizhen immediately volunteered to stand up. There was a gleam of confidence in her eyes, and she seemed to be ready to compete with Shen Ji. Shen Ji did not refuse, and the two quickly stood on the mat. Five minutes later, the heart rate test results showed that Shen Ji's heart rate value was 69, and he seemed unusually calm; while Zhao Yizhen's heart rate value was as high as 119, and it was obvious that she had invested a lot of emotion in the game.
When it was Yang Wuxi's turn to choose an opponent, she chose Yue Muchen without hesitation. However, Yue Muchen seemed a little hesitant. He knew that he and Yang Wuxi had no feelings for each other, and the school girl might have chosen him to PK to help him. But he agreed because he had another idea. Judging from his rich gaming experience, such a duel should not be a strong combination, but more likely a strong and a weak. So, he chose to lose.
After the game started, Yue Muchen began to deliberately make all kinds of exaggerated movements, trying to increase his heart rate. He ran, jumped, did squats... everything was done to make his heart rate exceed Yang Wuxi's. After a little surprise, Yang Wuxi chose to cooperate. She stood there and watched her senior exercise quietly. In the end, Yang Wuxi won with a slight advantage, while Yue Muchen lost the game as he wished.
When Zhang Minglian and Duan Wu from the last group stood in front of the selection stage, Director Song asked them with a smile: "Do you two want to PK?" The two were stunned and then shook their heads at the same time to indicate that they did not want to PK but chose to coexist peacefully to continue the next program.
宋导直接宣布了结果：“一号女嘉宾杨芜兮：8+7；四号女嘉宾陆青溪：20+6；三号女嘉宾段妩：3；二号女嘉宾赵忆贞：5-5；五号女嘉宾周斯贝：4-4。二号男嘉宾韩以溯：17+4；四号男嘉宾沈霁：8+5；一号男嘉宾张明廉：1；三号男嘉宾越目尘：7-7；五号男嘉宾沈霁：6-6。”
Under everyone's gazes, Director Song announced the new rules of team formation in her usual calm tone, clearly and in detail: "Since female guest number four Lu Qingxi and female guest number one Yang Wuxi stood out in this round, as the winners, their right to choose will be limited to a certain extent - both female guests can only choose to partner with the male guests who lost this round. Correspondingly, the winning male guest number two Han Yisu and male guest number four Shen Ji can also only choose female guests who failed to win as their teammates. Male guest number one Zhang Minglian and female guest number three Duan Wu, since they did not participate in the competition, are automatically paired successfully."
After a brief thought, Yang Wuxi decided to assist her senior Yue Muchen. She turned to Lu Qingxi with a determined light in her eyes: "Qingxi, I have an idea. I want to team up with Zhou Siming. What do you think?" Although Lu Qingxi was puzzled why the heroine did not choose Yue Muchen, who was closer to her, she still nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Shen Ji and Han Yisu were also discussing in a low voice. They each had their own concerns, and after some discussion, they both decided to choose the guest with whom they had the least relationship as their partner, hoping to avoid suspicion in the show.
The grouping results were finally announced: Lu Qingxi and Yue Muchen were in one group, Han Yisui and Zhao Yizheng were in one group, Yang Wuxi and Zhou Siming were in one group, Shen Ji and Zhou Sibei were in one group, and Duan Wu and Zhang Minglian were in one group.
At noon, the program team prepared lunches of varying degrees of richness for the guests according to their rankings. Due to the large number of private message feedback received from the audience, the program team decided to cancel the previous cooking session and directly provide food instead. The guests were taken to five private rooms with different decoration styles to enjoy the food carefully prepared according to their rankings.
