I Rule Fortune-Telling Livestreams-Chapter 176: Never Seen Anyone So Stupid

"You!" Zhao Jing’s face went pale with anger. Just as she was about to say something, her hand trembled, and another stick was pulled from her grasp.

Chen Yan compared the stick he had just drawn with Shen Zhiyao’s and said, "Mine is the same length as yours. It must not be the short one."

Zhao Jing was so furious her face turned white. Seeing only three sticks left in the bucket, she was about to coax Meng Xiaoxiao and Zhou Ye into drawing last.

But to her surprise, the two who usually seemed a bit naive suddenly started giggling. They followed behind Shen Zhiyao, each drew a stick, and then jumped for joy. "Hey! We both drew long sticks! HAHAHAHA, well then, we’ll have to trouble Sister Zhao to stay here and be our lookout!"

Zhao Jing: "..."

Just moments ago, the netizens in the livestream chat thought Shen Zhiyao was being rude. But after Meng Xiaoxiao’s antics, they found the scene quite amusing instead.

Meng Xiaoxiao’s fans, in particular, went wild in front of their screens, celebrating along with their idol for drawing a long stick.

As for Zhao Jing... her dark expression wasn’t caught by the audience, who still saw her as the resident nice person.

In the end, Zhao Jing stayed behind to provide cover, while the rest went out to search for the green crystal stone.

The factory manager had already been informed of the production team’s plan, so he turned a blind eye and cooperated with the filming.

The auxiliary factory was small, and there wasn’t much to search for.

So, as soon as they left, they headed for the main factory area.

The main factory gate was locked, so they couldn’t get in.

After searching for a long time, they found a window with no glass. The windowsill was 158 centimeters off the ground.

Sun Yingbin and Meng Xiaoxiao struggled quite a bit to climb through.

Shen Zhiyao had originally planned to just jump through, but noticing the camera behind her, she decided it was better to be a little more low-key.

So, she mimicked the other two and started to climb.

’This normal person’s way of climbing is certainly not as convenient as just jumping through.’

Just as she was complaining inwardly, a hand suddenly reached out from behind her.

She turned her head and saw Chen Yan holding her calf, giving her a boost.

Shen Zhiyao was a little embarrassed. "For the camera, I need to look like I’m struggling. I can climb over by myself, you don’t need to help me."

"I know. If I give you a hand, you’ll have a good reason to climb over quickly, right?"

Shen Zhiyao glanced down at the hem of her skirt, and Chen Yan’s gaze followed.

Today, she was wearing a pair of white socks with small black leather shoes. The opening of the shoes was lined with a row of pearls, making her feet look delicate and matching her outfit perfectly.

Shen Zhiyao’s expression grew a little cold. "Don’t look up."

"Huh?" Chen Yan glanced up curiously, getting an unobstructed view under her skirt.

For a moment, both of them were mortified...

Chen Yan froze for a second but didn’t let go. Instead, he used his leverage to push Shen Zhiyao up and over.

At that moment, the livestream chat erupted into a commotion:

[HOLY SHIT, I’m shipping it! This CP is so sweet!]

[Ship my ass! That streamer belongs to our Xiao Xiao! And you, that Chen punk, stay away from our streamer!]

[Don’t overthink it, guys! Chen Yan was just being a gentleman and giving Shen Zhiyao a hand. He wasn’t being a creep, and he’s not breaking up your CP.]

[Honestly, I think Chen Yan and Shen Zhiyao look great together. A talented man and a beautiful woman... a pretty good match...]

The camera cut to a close-up of Zhou Ye’s eyes, and the audience in the livestream instantly exploded:

[DAMN! This is even worse than Zhou Lun! Chen Yan is such a pervert!]

[Is there something wrong with that Chen Yan’s eyes? Where is he looking? He actually looked up a girl’s skirt! And here I was thinking he was a gentleman! Turns out he’s just a scumbag!]

[What are you all yelling about?! Chen Yan was helping her and saw it by accident, okay?]

[Shen Zhiyao was wearing safety shorts, and she didn’t even say anything. What are you all screaming for?]

[Exactly! Shen Zhiyao wasn’t even mad. She just climbed over naturally!]

Shen Zhiyao had no idea this scene would send the audience’s imagination running wild.

When Chen Yan came over, he looked a little awkward seeing Shen Zhiyao.

"Sorry, I really didn’t do it on purpose!" Despite the awkwardness, he still apologized to her. "By the way, why weren’t you wearing any safety shorts..."

Shen Zhiyao: "..."

"Uh... did I say something wrong? You’re not mad, are you..."

Shen Zhiyao sighed helplessly. "I’m not mad, and you didn’t do it on purpose. I just feel a bit awkward, so I didn’t say anything."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of wind blew past.

Sun Yingbin was sent into a coughing fit, Chen Yan was also choking, and even Shen Zhiyao was caught off guard and started choking too.

Just then, members of the production team began to arrive, making it inconvenient for Shen Zhiyao to use her Spiritual Power.

Chen Yan kept waving away the floating dust in the air. It seemed like a casual gesture, but he had secretly positioned himself in front of Shen Zhiyao to shield her from the wind.

Meng Xiaoxiao scratched her head apologetically. "Sorry, I just saw a cover panel and thought there might be a clue underneath. I didn’t expect the dust to fly up like that. Um... are you guys okay?"

Chen Yan said, slightly annoyed, "You knew it was covered in dust. You should have been more careful when you opened it. Are you blind?"

Meng Xiaoxiao could tell Chen Yan was angry and said apologetically, "I... I’ll be more careful next time. Are you all okay?"

Chen Yan didn’t say anything else.

Shen Zhiyao had only choked a little; it was nothing serious.

Sun Yingbin also quickly recovered and rallied everyone. "Let’s get a move on. We need to hurry up and find the factory’s prized treasure."

After the incident, everyone resumed the search for the green crystal stone.

The factory was empty, aside from some trash and equipment.

They searched all over but found nothing, their brows furrowing with anxiety.

The real prized treasure was nowhere to be found, nor could it be.

The production team never intended for them to find the real thing anyway.

They had planted a stone in advance, hiding it under the floor in front of a cave to pass it off as the real prized treasure.

According to the production team’s instructions, after finding the stone, they were to return to the auxiliary factory to work, and then present the prized treasure to the factory manager. That would count as completing the mission.

By evening, they would be just in time for the Island Country’s sacrificial ceremony. They could have some barbecue, drink some alcohol, and that would be the end of the day.

Who would have thought these guests would be so dense? They searched around that patch of floor for a long time without finding the stone.

With the livestream running, it was inconvenient for the director to give them hints.

But time was almost up. Any further delay and they wouldn’t be able to finish the rest of the shoot.

So, the director started mouthing hints to them from off-camera.

Unfortunately, the factory was too large, and absolutely no one could see him mouthing the words.

They didn’t find the Crystal Stone, but Sun Yingbin spotted something else. "Holy shit, look! There’s a locked door over here. Could the so-called clue be hidden in here?"

The director had been gesturing for them to look at the loose floorboard at their feet, where the green crystal stone was hidden.

’It’s just a locked room, how could the green crystal stone be in there?’

But his gestures were misinterpreted by the guests. Meng Xiaoxiao shouted, "The director means the thing is in here! We guessed right! Thanks for the hint, Director! Ai Ni!"

The director was speechless. ’I’ve been pointing at the floor under their feet for ages! How could the item be in that room? Did these people get their heads caught in a door? How can they be so stupid?’

The guests began to discuss the situation in front of the locked door. "This room is locked and we don’t have a key. We can’t open it. What should we do?"

Sun Yingbin said, "Then let’s just break it open!"

With that, the group started looking for a suitable tool to open the door...
