Picking Up Fragments in PUBG

Chapter 345: I’m Shipping This Couple!



Reba was both embarrassed and annoyed, unwilling to admit defeat, and asked for a more daring joke.

Jiang Siming bluntly stated that he dreamed of her and even wet his pants.

The audience immediately reacted with laughter, joking that it was too inappropriate, calling for a "report," and making various teasing comments.

However, Jiang Siming's actual explanation was that he was scared into wetting himself because he dreamed of Reba removing her makeup.

Reba was both angry and speechless, while the audience burst into laughter.

It had been a long time since a variety show had such an entertaining guest. Many viewers who initially planned to just watch for a bit before changing channels found themselves unable to stop.

The show's ratings steadily climbed, reaching 2.5. Considering that the show started at 2.0, this was a significant increase in a short time.

That 0.5 should not be underestimated.

Many people don't actually understand how TV ratings are calculated.

Ratings are determined by the number of viewers (or households) watching a particular program divided by the total audience (or total households).

In other words, all TV market share is considered as 100%.

Every TV station broadcasts programs day and night, all competing for a portion of these 100 points.

As for the number of channels available? Time for some trivia.

CCTV alone has over a dozen channels, including CCTV1 to CCTV10, as well as news, opera, children's, music, and sports channels, totaling around twenty.

Then there are the national satellite TV channels.

These are stations that can be received anywhere in China, such as Hunan TV, Zhejiang TV, Jiangsu TV, Dragon TV, Beijing TV, and more—over thirty in total.

Finally, there are local and international channels, adding up to more than a hundred channels overall.

With over a hundred channels competing for just 100 points, it's clear that demand far exceeds supply.

CCTV alone takes at least half, and local and international channels share another 20 points.

That leaves just 30 points for all national satellite channels to fight over, making any increase a significant achievement.

Currently, the highest ratings belong to Jiangsu and Hunan TV, both nearing 3.0 points.

Hunan TV's top show "Happy Camp" had spent a fortune inviting major celebrities.

Meanwhile, Jiangsu TV's "Ace vs. Ace" featured TF, a group beloved by Gen Z, alongside comedian Song Xiaobao and heartthrob Chen Weiting.

Both networks put in great effort, so naturally, their ratings were high.

Jiang Siming soon faced the consequences of his actions.

Watching him struggle to eat one piece of sticky rice cake after another, the audience laughed gleefully, thinking, "Serves you right!"

However, his puffed-up cheeks from chewing melted countless hearts, leading to a surge in his fanbase among those who adored good looks.

After eating more than half of the rice cake, Jiang Siming decisively abandoned the task and swapped with Yue Yunpeng.

Unexpectedly, Yue Yunpeng tricked him—Jiang Siming had eaten most of the rice cake for him, but Yue Yunpeng did not help him carry a single item in return.

The audience laughed even harder, thinking this new guest might just become the show's new unlucky fool like Sha Yi.

With such a mountain of goods to carry, how would he manage?

His personal trainer suggested that Jiang Siming remove his shirt, and just as he was about to do so, the post-production team flashed four giant words across the screen:

**"WARNING! HIGH ENERGY AHEAD!"**

Clearly, the post-production team was full of fangirls—how else would they know this was a "high-energy" moment? (Evil grin.)

Jiang Siming, following the PT's advice, peeled off his shirt.

*Ssss!* Oh my god!!!

Countless viewers across the country groaned and cursed in unison.

Because of what they saw on screen.

"I admit it—I willingly bow down before this physique. Absolute submission!"

"I think I can finally abandon my previous idol. Get lost, pretty boy!"

"From today, I stan!"

"XX, my dear bestie, bring me a new pair of underwear—I just... yeah..."

No one knew how many girls had their hearts racing, how many women lost sleep that night, or how many fujoshis went wild.

Even hardcore gamers started feeling uneasy. They were witnessing the rise of a new ultimate fandom and could do nothing about it.

Unfortunately, the scene didn't last long—Jiang Siming quickly put on a tank top and got to work carrying goods.

Watching him effortlessly lift two massive packages, everyone finally realized that his 1000-pound punch earlier was no joke.

Along the way, plenty of girls tried to chat with him, proving that he definitely wasn't relying on filters or special effects.

While Yue Yunpeng struggled to carry even one item, Jiang Siming easily transported the entire pile.

And he was the fastest among all the guests. While the others were still struggling to sell their goods, Jiang Siming had already completed his last order and wrapped up.

He even managed to trick one of the "Extreme Three Elites," Xiao Zhu, in the process.

Jiang Siming's last delivery happened to be at Reba's clothing store. As soon as they met, they started bickering, making quite the lively scene.

"Why are you laughing, you annoying ghost!"

Although Reba was 'scolding' Jiang Siming, the audience could clearly see that she didn't dislike him at all. In fact, it felt more like playful flirting.

Could there really be something going on between them?

Jiang Siming mocked Reba's makeup, saying it was so extreme that even gods and ghosts wouldn't recognize her. Reba countered that she never spent more than two hours on makeup.

Jiang Siming then hit back with a golden comeback: "If it takes more than two hours, that's not makeup—that's renovation."

Reba was so frustrated that she couldn't even argue back, while the audience burst into laughter and applauded. What a brilliant line! A golden quote! Gotta write this down!

Surprisingly, Reba even agreed to team up with Jiang Siming to sell clothes, making the audience scream that there was definitely something going on between them!

Jiang Siming's sales tactic was so effective that after he successfully tricked the first customer, many people watching saw a business opportunity and marveled at his genius.

"This guy is such a crafty trickster! A sales prodigy!"

The playful banter and interactions between the two kept the audience thoroughly entertained.

Countless viewers expressed that they were fully shipping this couple!

The funniest and most hilarious moment was when Jiang Siming used Reba as a shield to block water.

The best part? After using her as a shield, he still had the audacity to ask Reba for ice cream!

That scene nearly had everyone laughing their guts out.

Even back at Jiang Siming's home, the five women in his household were rolling on the sofa laughing.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother, how could you be so bad, using a girl as a shield?"

"Reba is so pitiful, getting splashed all over… Pfft, but it's still so funny!"

"I'm just wondering how this guy's brain works. After all that, he still dares to ask her for ice cream? Giggle."

"Daddy did great, hehe!"

Jiang Siming scratched his head and said, "I was just doing it for the show's effect, do you guys believe me?"

Meanwhile, Dongfang TV's ratings had unknowingly climbed to 3.3!

It officially surpassed Hunan and Jiangsu-Zhejiang TV, taking the top spot!

Everyone at Dongfang TV and the "Go Fighting" production team was thrilled and excited.

As expected, this episode was going to be a massive hit!

Inviting Jiang Siming was definitely a brilliant decision!
