    Chapter 21

    After a brief rest, Xia Zhou was finally able to move normally, and the two quickly returned to the public for physical testing.

    The countdown is over, and what follows is the familiar reveal.Through the efforts of the guests, the Liantu team got three opportunities to draw room types, and then came the lunch and rest sessions.

    In a blink of an eye, the time came to afternoon.

    As soon as the recording started, everyone was led to different rooms. There was only one table and one chair in the room, with a light panel placed on the table.

    “Dear guests, please take your seats in an orderly manner. The personality portrait test has officially begun. Please complete your answers within the specified time.” A mechanical electronic sound came from the broadcasting office, along with the announcement of the discipline and rules of the examination room. In an instant, the tense atmosphere filled up.

    40 minutes passed, and Xia Zhou clicked the submit button on the light board.

    After stretching his somewhat stiff limbs, Xia Zhou saw a new prompt pop up on the light board, asking the guests to gather in a new room. The room number was 308. A simple map guide was attached below.

    When you come to 308, you will see a large monitor screen. The screen is divided into 4 areas, corresponding to different venues and viewing angles.

    Xia Zhou saw some rooms arranged like a maze, and some rooms were filled with baffles.

    As the guests gathered, Luo Yan began to host.

    “I struggled for 40 minutes and looked at a bunch of test questions in a daze. As an invigilator, I saw that some guests were going crazy when doing the questions, so the next step is to relax!”

    “To be honest, since the first episode of the show was aired, some netizens have been questioning whether we are a love show or not, and why the guests are signing up for group activities all day long. Hey, don’t worry, the couple interaction you want is coming soon!”

    “Based on your test results, our database will automatically generate the corresponding small challenge session for couples interaction. Then the program team will simulate the scene directly in the training room. The system will randomly select people, and the selected guests will follow the instructions to go to the training room, while the remaining guests will continue to stay in the observation room.”

    “By the way, after successfully completing the couple interaction challenge, the guests will be rewarded with some portrait fragments of their partners. These fragments will be used in subsequent shooting sessions, so everyone must save them!”

    “Okay, let’s scroll the big screen, let’s see who the first group of lucky winners is~”

    Along with a burst of nervous special effects sounds, the answer was given on the big screen, it was Duan Xianzhi and Ji Chenshi.

    Ten minutes later, Xia Zhou and others saw the blindfolded Ji Chenshi on the big screen and were led into the training room under the guidance of the staff.

    In the training room, there is a neat row of small cubicles, 5 in total.Each cubicle was blocked by cardboard, and under a black curtain, only five hands were shown in front of the camera.

    “Oh, it’s a bit intense. If I guess wrong, I may not be able to keep the title of best CP.” Looking at the picture on the screen, Chu Yue complained.

    “Xia Xia, do you want to take a guess? What number do you think is Duan Shen?” Chu Yue suddenly became interested as he approached and stood in front of the screen, and then asked Xia Zhou.

    “Hmm… I don’t know, I haven’t paid much attention… I can’t tell just by looking at it. What do you think, Aling?” Lingling, who has the best relationship with Duan Xianzhi among the remaining members, gained everyone’s attention when Xia Zhou asked.

    “Based on my intuition, it’s the penultimate one!” Lingling narrowed his eyes slightly and gave the answer after examining it.

    The result was just as Lingle expected. Ji Chenshi hesitantly touched the first three places, and began to wonder if the program team had really arranged it, until he came to the fourth place——

    The moment his fingertips touched, a smile appeared on Ji Chenshi’s lips.

    After simply squeezing the opponent’s knuckles, Ji Chenshi changed his previous caution and touched Duan Xianzhi’s hand openly and generously, then slapped Duan Xianzhi’s hand away coolly, “Go! Next!”

    As the camera progresses, the interaction between the two is accurately conveyed to the audience room.

    “Hahahaha, I definitely recognized him, he’s so arrogant! It made me laugh so hard.” Looking at the interaction between the two, Chu Yue laughed and fell on the small sofa, overjoyed.

    “Not bad, not bad. It’s really interesting. Let’s quickly arrange for the next group!”

    In the shot here, Ji Chenshi has just taken off his blindfold, and the big screen in the observation room is also scrolling.

    【Ling Le x Xia Zhou】

    Seeing his name appear on the big screen, Xia Zhou’s heart tightened and he became energetic for a moment.

    “Please follow the guidance of the staff and go to the A8 training room for preliminary preparations.” Watching Xia Zhou and Lingle stand up slowly, Luo Yan advanced the process in an orderly manner.

    “Come on, Zhouzhou! Believe in yourself! You are the best!” Sensing Xia Zhou’s nervousness, Lingle immediately held Xia Zhou’s hand and cheered seriously.

    “It’s just a little game, it’s okay.” This was the warm concern from Shen Xuan.

    “That’s right, even if you really don’t succeed and don’t get the reward, then the pressure will come to the program team. They will definitely find a way later. Don’t panic, Xia Xia.” Chu Yue said the truth without paying attention, and Chu Yue comforted him seriously.

    “Pfft, I know, it’s okay.” Looking at Luo Yan’s helpless expression, Xia Zhou couldn’t help laughing.

    Under the guidance of the staff, Xia Zhou put on a blindfold, put his arm on the other person’s shoulder, and walked forward slowly.

    “Okay, Teacher Xia, please wait here.” When they arrived at the designated location, the staff put Xia Zhou’s hand on the door handle in front of him, and then said, “This is the door handle. After hearing the instructions from the announcement, you can open the door and enter.”

    “Isn’t there anyone with me?” Xia Zhou asked directly as if he noticed the difference between his test and Ji Chen’s.

    “Yes, because Mr. Xia and your team are different from ordinary people, this is a specific challenge for the whistle-blowers. Please rest assured that there are professional guidance and tests in every aspect of the program, and the safety of the guests will be the first priority.”

    “Then Teacher Xia, please wait patiently for the prompts here. I will do other preparations first.” After explaining in a soft voice, the guide left.

    Feeling the other party leaving, Xia Zhou tilted his head.

    It is known that when one sensory function is lost or impaired, the other senses compensate for this loss by increasing their sensitivity, a phenomenon known as sensory compensation.

    After his eyes were blinded, Xia Zhou’s hearing became even sharper.

    Thanks to the training he had received at the Guide Academy, Xia Zhou quickly adapted to this dark mode.

    Drop——

    “The preparations have been arranged. Let’s enter the test stage. The test process will be conducted blindfolded. If you encounter any problems, you can ask at any time. In the first step, guests are asked to open the door in front of them and enter the test venue.”

    Following the instructions, Xia Zhou pressed his wrist and turned the handle.

    The heavy door panel was slowly pushed open, and Xia Zhou carefully stretched out his hand and reached inside.

    “How was it, how was it, who are the next group of guests? Let’s not miss it, right?” Ji Chenshi quickly returned to the observation room after finishing the test, and asked excitedly as soon as he entered the door.

    “Don’t miss it, it’s just starting now. This group is Xia Xia and Lingle.” Sensing the different specifications of Xia Zhou’s group, Chu Yue directly “borrowed” Luo Yan’s exclusive light board, striving to see every picture clearly.

    “Huh? Why doesn’t Xia Xia have any staff around?” Looking at the screen showing Xia Zhou pushing open the heavy door and facing the dark training room alone, Ji Chenshi looked at the program team in confusion.

    “Well, because this is a special test for the whistle-blowing crowd, taking into account the quality of the crowd, there are certain differences in the test procedures.” After receiving the summons from the director team in the headset, Luo Yan continued to explain.

    “嚯嚯,別人家節目是上尊老,下愛幼,逮着中間使勁揍,你們倒是不走尋常路,專挑我們這年紀小的和地位高的折騰啊。”聽着節目組的解釋,紀辰時莫名地擔憂了起來。

    “Teacher Shen, how are you doing recently? Did you have a good rest last night?” Seeing Xia Zhou standing there motionless, Chu Yue began to worry about Shen Xuan.

    “I’m okay, because I’ve been exposed to a lot of these variety show routines, so don’t worry too much. According to Xiao Xia…according to previous contacts, I remember that he is an A-level guide, and his overall ability is quite good…” Shen Xuan said his judgment, then his tone became serious, and his target turned to the program team,

    “As long as the program team doesn’t go too far, they should be fine. After all, based on physical fitness and reflexes alone, Lingle and the others should be at the forefront among us.”

    I don’t know if he felt the pressure in the observation room, but on the screen, the room in front of Xia Zhou gradually lit up.

    Although he was wearing an eye mask, because the eye mask could not completely fit Xia Zhou’s facial curve, Xia Zhou could still feel changes in the outside light.

    “I opened the door, what should I do next?” Xia Zhou looked up and asked in a random direction.

    “Please accept the test guests to enter the training room and close the door.”

    Following the radio instructions, Xia Zhou groped his way into the training room and closed the door behind him.

    “There are a total of 4 small scenes arranged in the training room. Your partner is trapped in them and needs to wait for your rescue. Please calm down and feel the other person’s presence with your heart, and then choose a direction to set off. I will tell you the indicators and obstacles ahead, and you can act according to the instructions.”

    “In this scenario, you have two opportunities to choose, so take advantage of them.”

    “Now, please choose the direction you want to go.”

    As soon as the rules came out, there was an uproar in the observation room.

    “What do you think of this, this, this…” As the lights came on, the layout of the training room was clearly visible.Looking at the large and small obstacles in the venue, Ji Chenshi angrily asked Duan Xianzhi what he thought.

    “It’s okay…the obstacles and instructions are not difficult. If you are an ordinary person with good physical fitness, the passage should not be difficult. I just don’t know much about the whistle direction. I don’t know how they identify it…Do they have any special senses or something?”

    Looking at the obstacles arranged on the screen, Duan Xianzhi was not sure, so everyone’s eyes came to Pei Yifan.

    “From the sentry’s point of view, this challenge is stress-free, both for me and Lingle. Because the sentry’s five senses are well developed, it can capture all kinds of movements in the venue. As long as the guidance is in place, there is no pressure to pass the level.”

    “As for the guides, considering Xia Zhou’s guide level, purely from the perspective of testing, I can probably understand the system’s judgment standards. There is this concept in our training model, which is to increase the level of the existing abilities appropriately, which will be more conducive to the improvement of abilities.”

    “So based on my judgment, Xia Zhou can complete this mode now, but it will be a little difficult.” After going through the layout of the training room, Pei Yifan gave his own judgment.

    The facts were just as Pei Yifan judged. After receiving the instructions from the broadcast, Xia Zhou quickly chose the direction, and then took steps gropingly under Tianyin’s guidance.

    “Hey, Xia Xia is a little hesitant, but her steps are still pretty steady. Are all guides so good?” Looking at Xia Zhou on the screen, Ji Chenshi curiously asked Shen Xuan next to him.

    “That’s why Xiaoxia is so good. Do you still remember the word card game in the first episode? Through that game, you can know that Xiaoxia has good control over the consciousness field, and her consciousness is also very sensitive.”

    “If it were me, it should be… wrong. If Lao Pei’s theory is correct, then the test on my side should not be of this intensity, because my guide level is only B level.” Sensing Ji Chenshi’s curiosity, Shen Xuan did not hide his secrets and shared it directly.

    “Oh, that Xia Xia is very powerful. Will he be called to do tasks or something like that?” Ji Chenshi became interested when talking about the sentry and guide.

    In contemporary society, the total number of sentinels and guides accounts for approximately one ten thousandth of the total population.Although the number of people is small, there is no shortage of talents and resources.And thanks to the current peaceful era, the recruitment of special talents is not frequent.

    Although the status and treatment of sentinel guides are higher than that of ordinary people, the tower will respect their wishes first, and the recruitment tasks will be prioritized based on ability and willingness.There will be corresponding subsidies and rewards for those who voluntarily respond.

    “I’m not sure about this, but looking at Xiaoxia’s skills, he must have received some training.”

    Shen Xuan said and returned his attention to the screen.

    From the perspective of the observation room, everyone clearly saw that Xia Zhou had chosen the wrong direction.

    The huge training room is now divided into four areas.In the northeast corner, there is Lingle tied into a rice dumpling.

    On the west wall, there are two venues arranged in succession. One is a balloon man wearing Lingle clothes. Under the action of the motor, it swings magically. Next to it is a large cat climbing frame. A lazy orange cat is lying on the frame with its belly turned over, and the tip of its tail is swaying regularly.

    On the wall in the east, a fragrance machine is installed, and fresh fragrance is continuously distributed in the air.

    “Brother Pei, how is this interference option set up? Why did Xia Xia go directly to Maomao?” Chu Yue asked curiously as Xia Zhou became more and more skillful in avoiding obstacles and prepared to walk to the climbing frame.

    “I’m not sure about this. It’s probably because Xia Zhou felt the breath of living creatures in this aspect first rather than capturing the smell. Moreover, the balloon man next to him is also very well set up. Compared to Lingle who is tied up motionless, the air flow and breath here are more present. So from an overall perspective, most people will choose to go in this direction.”

    Everyone couldn’t help but smile when they saw Xia Zhou arriving in front of Maomao and touching Maomao’s tail accurately.

    Feeling the touch of his hands and the sound of the radio ringing in his ears, Xia Zhou knew that he had been misled.

    “Meow~”

    While listening to the radio prompting that there was still another chance to choose, Xia Zhou rubbed the cat in his hand, but he was not impatient at all.

    Yes, because when Xia Zhou was rubbing the cat to get excited, his head suddenly sank.

    It was the snowball that came out.

    The jealous little puppet angrily stepped on its owner’s head to express his dissatisfaction.

    Feeling Xueqiu’s emotions, Xia Zhou smiled helplessly and coaxed in a low voice, “Okay, okay, I won’t touch it anymore. Please tell me where the right direction is.”

    Hearing his master’s soft confession, Xueqiu put on a royal posture, then raised his paw and patted Xia Zhou on the head, signaling him to turn around.
