Chapter 176 A Little Game

Kate had to drop out due to illness, and the production team didn’t have time to arrange a replacement. The main reason was the high-risk nature of doing live shows. One’s reputation as a celebrity would be ruined if one did not tread carefully.

Although the reason for Kate’s withdrawal was illness, everyone knew it was just a gesture of courtesy from the production team. The change from being a rising star to the target of online criticism was too heavy a price.

So, this episode was recorded with just three groups sof guests. Without Kate’s interference, the atmosphere among the three groups of guests seemed harmonious.

The theme of this week’s episode was the zoo, and the guests were recording at the Universal Theme Park. As the three groups of guests met, their interactions were much smoother since they were acquainted.

Audrey took the initiative to greet the Parkers brothers. She said, ” Congratulations! I heard you’re making your debut in the film industry. You are ready to start a new career, huh?”

The Parkers politely smiled. “You’ve been quite busy yourself. You grabbed seven or eight endorsements in no time, right?” After a round of business compliments, everyone turned their attention to Catherine, who was standing nearby.

“Catherine, are you thinking about joining the industry? You have so many fans, but why haven’t you even opened a public social media account?”

Catherine still hadn’t opened a Twitter account, and her fans had to go to Audrey’s account for updates.

“Not interested,” Catherine replied coldly. The Parkers may take Catherine as an arrogant person if they don’t know that her personality is as such.

Audrey was worried that Catherine’s attitude might trigger an online backlash. “Catherine is still in school, and she is going to college soon. Education is her priority. As for her future career, it’s up to her. We will support whatever she likes,” she quickly explained. After the conversation, the director appeared with a megaphone in front of everyone.

“Hello, everyone! In today’s episode, we have a surprise guest joining us. As for which group will the mysterious guest join, it all depends on your abilities.

“Next, we’ll have a game to see who can find the hippopotamus in the zoo and measure its weight the fastest. The winner will receive a clue about the hidden guest and get to form a new team with him.”

Hearing the director’s announcement of another boring game, the three groups of guests were less than thrilled.

They expected to spend the two days and one night just drinking coffee and chatting, but the production team had other plans. The production team knew how to keep things interesting with their unexpected twists. Seeing that the three groups of guests lacked enthusiasm, the director decided to give them a little boost.

“Our special guest is currently the top influencer in the industry and is the only one on Twitter with over a hundred million followers.”

The director truly understood the minds of these guests. With ease, he managed to ignite their enthusiasm and the audience’s excitement.

Fans who follow the entertainment industry’s news for a long time knew exactly who this hotshot was. He was indeed the nation’s idol.

Just like Catherine, Audrey had appeared indifferent earlier, but now she was excited. “Kathy, my idol is here! I never expected such a bonus while recording a show. He is my idol!”

The only one who remained calm throughout was Catherine, who didn’t seem to care. Audrey understood her sister’s behavior. Perhaps Catherine didn’t even know who was coming.

Audrey looked at Catherine with determination and said, “Kathy, I’m going to give it my all today. I will win for sure. The person who gets the clue will be me, and I’ll get to see my idol at the first instance!”

Catherine didn’t know why Audrey was so excited. As for Audrey’s idol, Catherine didn’t care at all. As time passed, the sun grew hotter. Catherine longs for a nap under the scorching sun.

As the competition began, Audrey saw Catherine and the listless state she’s in. She felt sorry for Catherine for getting up so early.

She gently led Catherine to a shaded pavilion where tourists rested. “Kathy, I’ll find the hippopotamus first and start the task. Take a rest here and wait for me, okay?”

Catherine wholeheartedly agreed with Audrey’s decision. It was what she had hoped for. It seemed that Audrey understood her very well.

“No problem.”

Rarely does Catherine initiate a response, and Audrey is in a good mood because of that. She finally felt like a big sister.

After giving instructions to Catherine, Audrey didn’t forget to emphasize her point in front of the camera having learned her lesson from what happened in the previous episode.

She said, “Dear fans, Kathy has been working so hard lately, and she woke up early today. So she’s a bit tired. We’ll let her rest for a while, and I’ll take care of this simple task. Trust me. I’ll come in first.

“Let’s go. We’re off!”

People who understood the situation knew that Audrey was doing this to prevent a repeat of what happened before. She was protecting Catherine.

As Catherine watched Audrey go to great lengths to explain to the fans, she couldn’t help but smile. She thought,” 11 Audrey is indeed interesting.”

All cameras in their group were focused on Audrey since Catherine was resting. It was unclear whether Audrey had incredible luck, or she was genuinely competitive when serious as she managed to be the first to find the hippopotamus enclosure.

Audrey felt conflicted when she saw the massive hippopotamus in its water pool. The hippo looked so huge. She wondered how she was supposed to measure its weight.

Audrey turned to the nearby zookeeper and asked, “Is there a scale to weigh the hippo?”

The zookeeper nodded and replied, Yes, there was. But there isn’t one today.”

“Why?” Audrey couldn’t understand. The zookeeper awkwardly smiled and explained, “Because the director locked all the scales.”

Audrey was stunned, and she frowned deeply.

The viewers watching nearly laughed themselves to tears.

They kept sending comments. [Haha. Audrey’s expression is just too scary!]

[Didn’t see that coming, did you? The director is clever.]

With the hippo being so heavy, there was no way Audrey could lift it to weigh it.

Following closely behind were the Parkers. Seeing that Audrey was already at the enclosure, they greeted her. “Audrey, how’s it going? Can you figure it out?”

Audrey shook her head and replied, Not good. The scales were all taken by the director. How are we supposed to weigh it? Should I lift the hippo? If I had that capability, I’d probably be the weightlifting champion at the World Championships!”

The Parkers couldn’t help but laugh at her comment. The three of them decided to brainstorm together to find a more practical solution.

The Parkers came up with the idea of using a balance scale to measure weight. However, there were no suitable tools available around. Instantly, they were stuck once again.

In the end, Audrey had no choice and suggested seeking help from Catherine. The Parkers sighed and said, “If we can’t figure it out, can Catherine help?”

Audrey said confidently, “My sister is so clever. She might have a solution. We won’t know unless we try, right?”

With that, she happily went off to find Catherine. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
