This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 371 - 300 This Person Seems a Bit Off

Wu Mu glanced at the phone provided by the production team; it was the latest model from the largest conglomerate in South Korea, though he wasn’t sure if they were also a sponsor of the show.

Then there was also a map, which marked numerous "safe houses" organized by them.

In reality, these were simply supply points that included money, food, various disguises, outfits, vehicles, and more.

Everyone looked at the map, eagerly discussing what to grab first.

Then Shen Zaixian looked around and said, "With so many of us moving together, we’re too conspicuous. Let’s either go solo or form teams."

Hmm, that was the process set by the production team.

These days, audiences had become discerning, quickly growing tired of reality shows that followed a scripted narrative. If a show was scripted, people would easily notice and it could breed resentment.

So now, many reality shows have stopped pursuing a specific script and instead largely depend on the guests’ spontaneous performances.

But even with improvisation, the general direction of the show was controlled through various rules.

"Teams? I suggest pairs, I want to team up with Huiyan!" Lee Taihuan announced loudly.

"I disagree! You, who ate kimchi without brushing your teeth, go by yourself! I should be the one teaming up with Huiyan."

"I told you, I brushed my teeth last night!"

The guests immediately started arguing over who would get to team up with Jin Huiyan.

It wasn’t that everyone liked Jin Huiyan so much, or that she was exceptionally beautiful; it was just the role she was assigned in the show.

Like Lee Taihuan, the strong, food-loving guy; if something heavy needed lifting, he was the go-to guy, and if there was food involved, everyone teased him.

After a heated debate, no one could agree, so they ultimately decided to "draw lots."

Shen Zaixian tongued slips of paper with four sets of numbers in his hand, pairing those who drew the same number.

Previously informed he’d be grouped with Jin Huiyan, Wu Mu stepped up to draw and indeed pulled the same number 3 as Jin Huiyan. He wondered how Shen Zaixian managed that control.

If someone else had ended up with Jin Huiyan, the other guests would certainly have been fiercely jealous.

But Wu Mu... didn’t get the spotlight!

Everyone seamlessly switched to venting righteous indignation about their teammates.

"Hahaha, I’m heading out first, the nearest safe house is just a few hundred meters away. The directors definitely won’t provide enough supplies at the station for everyone; I’ll grab what I can first!" A guest laughed and sprinted out.

"Damn, you sly punk!"

"You guys go for the nearest supplies, Minghao, let’s go grab a car!"

Everyone hurriedly moved in their groups.

Shen Zaixian didn’t forget to wave his cellphone at everyone, "Call if you need anything, and remember to share any clues you find at the safe points."

Suddenly, the area was clear of people.

Jin Huiyan watched her partner Wu Mu, who had been utterly inactive since the show started and hadn’t even budged when everyone rushed for supplies, and felt dismayed.

How was she supposed to interact with this kind of program ’black hole’?

She could only try hard to find topics for forced conversation, "I think the director’s move to give us cellphones is suspicious. Since they’re giving us phones now, why weren’t we allowed to take them when we escaped earlier? I suspect there’s something wrong with these phones... Didn’t they also mention that there’s a traitor among us? These phones could probably be directly tracked by the police."

"However, whether it’s tower tracking, backend GPS, or built-in software, it all requires the phone to be powered on to work. We just need to keep them turned off until it’s absolutely necessary to prepare and turn them on to check."

Jin Huiyan was playing her role as the smart one; partly because she truly was somewhat smarter, but also because she had researched the topic extensively after learning the theme was a city-wide escape.

Wu Mu, still looking at the map, curiously raised his head to her, "Why didn’t you tell them just now?"

With a somewhat smug look, Jin Huiyan replied, "We’re competitors, after all. Didn’t the director just say the escape prize money would be split among those who escape? If they get caught, that leaves more prize money for us... The director really is sneaky, setting up rules like that."

I think you’re the sneaky one. Even the director didn’t explicitly mention that, yet you already thought of it.

Wu Mu thought to himself.

Jin Huiyan continued, "Also, I’m not sure if one of them might be a traitor. Brother Xian looked pretty odd just now; he seemed really concerned about whether everyone used their phones or not."

"And given the news about the mole, these safe points might not actually be safe... The police could be waiting there, or there might even be tracking devices. But since the rules don’t allow us to use personal contacts or identity privileges, we have to rely on these supply points... Let’s go get food first; we won’t be able to run on an empty stomach later."

Safe points might not actually be safe?

Wu Mu’s face took on a thoughtful expression; he had only watched a few episodes of this show and was unfamiliar with the production team’s style.

If the safe points also had issues, then wouldn’t that mean they’d be led by the nose by the production team the whole journey?

Considering a food supply point was about three to four kilometers away, a walk there could take about half an hour.

He strongly doubted this was the production team’s deliberate plan to waste the contestants’ preparation time.

In that case... they might as well do something unexpected by the production team.

Wu Mu closed the map in his hand, "Let’s not go there; we’ll find somewhere else to eat."
