After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 204 - 202: The Trap You Can’t Speak of

After finishing breakfast, everyone got into the program group’s car and headed to the recording location.

Thanks to sponsorship, each guest had their own vehicle.

Qin Hao was already in a bad mood due to recent events, and now that he was alone, he no longer needed to pretend. His phone kept buzzing with messages, but he acted like he didn’t hear them. Eventually, he simply replied to the sender saying he was recording a show and silenced his phone.

This time, the recording location was a luxury homestay with extremely beautiful surroundings, though it was a homestay nestled within a bustling city.

After everyone got off the car, they were ushered into a room by the staff. Inside the room was only a table with six chairs, and the table was laden with food and drinks.

"Why does today feel so different from usual?" Wang Sirui voiced everyone’s curiosity.

The director immediately explained, "Because the game segment was well-received last time, we’re not drawing lots to decide the accommodations this time. Instead, we’re using a game format, where the winner gets the privilege to choose their room first."

"What kind of game?" Wang Sirui asked, a bit dazed.

"It’s ’Don’t Say the Answer’." The director signaled to the staff and took out the cards they had prepared in advance.

"Director, you mean the winner can freely choose any room? Regardless of its quality? Can we check out the rooms in advance?" Pei Yan thoughtfully asked.

"You could say that. If you want to see the rooms, I can have someone show you around," the director pondered briefly before agreeing.

Yang Leqi was still somewhat hesitant, uncertain about how the rooms were arranged. Was Mr. Pei asking to live closer to Sister Yun?

She immediately clenched her fist, deciding to help Mr. Pei get the room closest to Sister Yun.

Everyone followed the staff to a homestay first.

The live broadcast also commenced simultaneously.

[I’ve been looking forward to this for days, finally it’s airing again. Is the second episode coming up tonight?]

[Where is this place? It looks so beautiful! I want to stay here!]

[Are they drawing for rooms now or has it already happened? Has the program group become so extravagant?]

[I’ve dreamed of having a garden like this. It’s so gorgeous!!]

This homestay was meticulously arranged. Rather than a homestay, it felt more like home, or even better than home. From the outer courtyard to the section leading into the building, it was filled with various flowers and the aroma wafted through the garden.

The downstairs lacked the typical feel of a guesthouse, instead resembling a family living room, spacious and filled with small gadgets, along with a reading area stocked with many books and insulated with soundproof glass.

Downstairs was a lobby, study, and kitchen, along with a bathroom; upstairs contained two rooms, with the staircase as a divider, each side having one room with its own bathroom.

The rooms were spacious with separate wardrobes and dressing tables, and each had a private balcony.

"The program group sure has money now! Such a great homestay, they’re really willing to spend!" Wang Sirui commented as he admired the large room.

"This room, this location, the cost for a night’s stay must be pretty high," Chen Yao instinctively thought aloud.

"This is the top homestay, priced around 1,800 per night, and needs to be booked in advance, otherwise, the rooms get fully booked. We’re headed to another place now," the staff explained.

Everyone went silent upon hearing the price. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

This cost could land you in a pretty decent hotel in the center of A City.

Many fans in the live chat had previously wanted to check-in, but upon hearing this price, it deterred many, especially those trying to save some money. Most remained rational, with only a select few with wealthier backgrounds feeling that this place was worth the cost.

Then everyone walked around a hundred meters to another homestay, and just from the outside, it seemed inferior to the previous one.

"This homestay costs five hundred a night." Once inside, it was clear there was a substantial difference compared to the first, but overall, it was still quite decent.

However, with the first homestay for comparison, the second one seemed less impressive.

The pros and cons were fairly obvious.

The second homestay had four rooms, all with private bathrooms. The decor was stylish, which likely contributed to the higher price.

The third homestay was more ordinary, lacking any stand-out features, and was priced reasonably at a hundred per night.

After touring the three homestays, everyone was eager to compete for the top spot.

"I want to stay at the first homestay!" Wang Sirui exclaimed eagerly.

"Who doesn’t want to?" Yang Leqi retorted, rolling her eyes. The first room was reserved for her CP!

Such a golden opportunity! She couldn’t let it slip away!

"Well, let’s rely on our own skills then!" Chen Yao tightened his muscles, full of ambition, clearly intent on staying at the first place.

[I, too, want to stay!]

[Certainly raising my hand, wondering if I can stay?]

Everyone returned to the initial room, now appearing far more motivated than before.

The director observed the tension among the participants and was notably pleased, as it promised the best results.

"Don’t Say the Answer involves wearing a card on your forehead. Others can see it, but you can’t see your own card. If you mimic the action on your forehead, you lose. Each person has three chances, and the winner is determined by who uses their opportunities most wisely. The first-place winner can choose their room first," the director announced, and the live chat instantly heated up.

[The director did this on purpose, right? First letting them see the rooms, then presenting such a stark contrast in order to unleash chaos among the guests during this game!]

[That competitive spirit...let’s get to it quickly!]

[It’s truly a test of self-restraint for those rooms. I can’t wait to see how the guests sabotage each other! Exciting!]

[This director is getting cheekier, but I’m loving it~ doge]

"So the game’s intention is to set traps for others? If someone performs the action written on their forehead, they lose? Whoever uses up their three chances first is last," Chen Yao asked.

"Right," the director nodded.

Quickly, the staff placed the cards on everyone’s foreheads, invisible to themselves, but visible to everyone else.

Pei Yan’s card read: Refuse others.

Qin Yun’s card read: Applaud.

Yang Leqi’s card read: Toast.

Wang Sirui’s card read: Stand up.

Chen Yao’s card read: Say a number.

Qin Hao’s card read: Say thank you.

After donning the cards, everyone subtly observed each other’s cards.

[I feel like the silly one might easily fall for the traps!]

[The brother wearing this is kind of cute!]

[Is it because of the first round? The atmosphere seems relatively gentle.]

[If the enemy doesn’t move, neither will I. Everyone’s being so cautious, aiming for the top place!!]
