CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64: THE PRODUCTION TEAM HAS NO CONSCIENCE

[If I had known, I would have tried to bump into her by chance. Maybe I could have had a late-night snack with the goddess.]

[What are you thinking? If you’re going to think like that, you should take me along too!!]

Soon everyone went off-topic, assuming Qin Yun was just hungry at midnight and went out to check out a restaurant after asking netizens.

After all, in their view, it’s impossible that Qin Yun would have gone with Pei Yan.

Thus, everyone started discussing Qin Yun’s appetite, saying she eats more than many competitive eaters but never gains weight.

Then they shifted the discussion to Qin Yun’s figure, marveling at how she consumes so much while maintaining a curvy body, far better than the skinny figures of most female celebrities.

The group got increasingly animated, and by the time they realized it, it was already two or three in the morning. They finally decided to call it a night.

Because they’d basically slept with the livestream running all night, the next morning, familiar tunes didn’t play in Pei Yan’s and Qin Yun’s rooms.

In Wang Sirui’s, Chen Yao’s, and Qin Hao’s rooms, however, the familiar viral song played loudly.

"The blooming of the red peony~ the vibrant red~"

Many fans watching their livestreams were shocked awake by the hypnotic tune.

The fans awoke wide-eyed, confused at the hypnotic sound invading their ears.

It took them a while to realize it was coming from their phones, specifically from the livestream.

The guests, accustomed to the show’s routine of playing this song, skillfully pulled up their blankets to muffle themselves and block out the sound.

But the fans were unaccustomed to such a wake-up call.

Thinking it was late, they picked up their phones to check the time, only to find it was just six-thirty!

They flooded the livestream chat with complaints:

[It’s only six-thirty! I was sleeping so well, and then this hypnotic sound freaked me out and made me jump up, thinking it was eight! How could the program team be so cruel?]

[Look at my silly child’s habitual reaction...could this have happened more than once?]

[I just took a look around. Seems like Qin Yun’s livestream didn’t have the hypnotic sound. Is this special treatment for girls?]

[Probably not, didn’t they win yesterday? So they get to sleep in today. Wang Sirui and his team lost, so they have to wake up early to make breakfast, hahaha. Forgive my unkind laughter.]

[Now that you mention it, I remember too. The winners yesterday get to rest today. And the best part is, this resting privilege was earned because Wang Sirui inadvertently set the trap for himself!!! Hahaha... thinking about it now, it’s really hilarious.]

[Oh no, our silly kid’s foolishness can’t be hidden anymore. Everyone knows. Face-palm.jpg]

[Ahhh, someone’s up. It seems to be that guest Qin Hao? I don’t remember much about him, but he’s the first one to get up under this hypnotic sound.]

[Chen Yao is up too!]

[And now it’s just our silly kid who’s still not up.]

About ten minutes later, Chen Yao finished getting ready and went to wake up Wang Sirui.

Everyone could see Wang Sirui’s messy hair and innocent little face, making a group of motherly fans want to smooth it down.

The three headed downstairs, only to hear the director say, "Today we’ll have intermittent livestreaming, which could start at any moment. For fans who haven’t followed the stream yet, please do so for timely notifications when we go live."

The three hadn’t even reacted yet when the livestream chat exploded.

[Why have intermittent livestreams? This way, we’d miss watching our idols so much!!]

[We disagree with the intermittent livestream!!]

[We disagree with the intermittent livestream!! +1]

[The program team is heartless!! They wake us up so early and then don’t let us watch!!]

[Exactly!! Why not continue the twenty-four-hour livestream? We’d miss so much stuff otherwise!!]

[A heartfelt plea for a twenty-four-hour livestream!!]

[Two people plead for a twenty-four-hour livestream!!]

[Begging for a continuous livestream!! Don’t save me data or electricity! I have money! Just want to watch my idol!]

Fans who understood the program team’s tactics quickly realized their strategy and immediately lamented:

[Director, please, you don’t need to bait us like this. We’ll still follow it when it starts! Let us watch more of our idols!]

[Director! If you run the full livestream, when the program starts, I’ll drag my sister, my brother, my best friend, and my whole family to bring you traffic! Please don’t stop the livestream!! It’s not easy for kids to have a bit of fan material.]

[Exactly, Director, please continue live-streaming! I can get my entire class to bring in traffic for you!!]

Fans started begging everywhere, saying they’d bring colleagues and countless relatives to boost the program’s traffic.

Despite it only being past six in the morning, this group of people was abruptly jolted awake.

However, since most people were still asleep, these scant thousands didn’t make many waves.

This suggestion was actually Pei Yan’s idea before bed last night.

Firstly, intermittent livestreaming can pique fans’ desire to keep watching.

Secondly, it can give the guests and directors breaks to rest.

After all, being under fans’ watchful eyes twenty-four hours a day, constantly pushing themselves hard for the fans’ best image, isn’t ideal.

And the behind-the-scenes workers worked even harder. Because of the twenty-four-hour livestream, to prevent accidents, a good number of them had to stay up along with the guests.

Moreover, each program is recorded over several consecutive days, which, when prolonged, definitely becomes physically taxing.

Pei Yan’s suggestion was very considerate, and the production team immediately agreed, leading to this announcement.

Fortunately, since it was early morning and few people were up, it didn’t cause much of a stir.

Wang Sirui and his team were thrilled to hear they wouldn’t be livestreamed twenty-four hours a day. They even felt that the production team wasn’t so harsh, finding a bit more enthusiasm in waking up early to make breakfast.

However, the real hero was still soundly sleeping in bed.

"The time is now six forty-three. Please set off to work at the designated breakfast shop to earn money to buy ingredients," the director said, handing an envelope with the breakfast shop’s address to Chen Yao.

"Huh? Did we get up early just to work and earn money to make breakfast for the other three?" Wang Sirui asked incredulously, eyes wide.

"How can you say that! If you hadn’t blabbed yesterday, we wouldn’t be in this mess!!" Chen Yao snapped as he gripped Wang Sirui’s neck in frustration.

Realizing all of this was due to his offhand remark yesterday and that it had dragged down his teammates too, Wang Sirui said with remorse and apology, "I’ll do more work later."

"Hmph, that’s more like it." Chen Yao replied with satisfaction, releasing his grip.
