Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Director Sun, When Did You Get a Barrage Above Your Head?

At 8 in the morning, several guests appeared on time next to the experimental fields.

Seeing the five individuals walking together in unison, Director Sun was so surprised that he forgot to drink the soy milk in his bowl.

“How come you all came over together?”

Weren’t these people as cold as mortal enemies in the waiting room at the beginning?

How come they’re now so close they even wake up together?

Qi Tianyu, who walked at the forefront, proudly raised his chin.

“Because we are a team, Director Sun, you can no longer hope to pick us off one by one, the power we have when united is quite frightening.”

[Hahaha, little Qi, can you not be so adorable!]

[Qi Tianyu seems to be in such a good mood, is it because he’s well-fed?]

[I’m dying of laughter, yesterday morning Qi Tianyu looked like someone who had his life energy drained, today he’s like the one absorbing other people’s life energy.]

Jiang Yan scoffed disdainfully, “Who said you’re in the same group as me, this is an individual competition, in the end, doesn’t it come down to who gets the highest score?”

Director Sun took a sip of his soy milk and smiled with profound meaning, “So, Young Master Jiang, do you realize that your current total score is only 9 points, and you’re the last one in the rankings?”

Jiang Yan: !!!

Just as everyone was having fun, Director Sun noticed the red rope in Jiang Yan’s hand and, tied to the end of the red rope… a chicken.

His brows jumped sharply, and Director Sun’s eyes widened as he said:

“Jiang Yan, what are you doing bringing a chicken out here?”

Jiang Yan pulled the rope tighter and also pushed up the sunglasses on his face.

“What chicken? This is my new sidekick, Richard!”

Director Sun: ??? What in the world?

[Hahahaha I can’t stop laughing, Young Master actually brought the chicken out.]

[A handsome guy who’s 185cm tall carrying an old hen, what kind of high-fashion trend is this?]

[Such a strange style, no, I have to take another look.]

[Even Director Sun is stupefied hahaha, I bet he didn’t expect Jiang Yan to actually start raising a chicken.]

Director Sun was at a loss for words.

After all, the show’s rules did not explicitly prohibit the guests from keeping pets.

Especially a pet so down-to-earth like this one.

So he coughed and rose from his lounge chair, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.

He noticed something else amiss.

“Where’s Wen Jiaojiao? How come she hasn’t arrived yet?”

“No idea, Director Sun,” Shu Yan said while blowing on her freshly painted nail polish, “We haven’t seen her since this morning.”

Qi Tianyu immediately made an excuse, “It’s not like we’re ostracizing her, okay? I just ran into everyone else on the road, and the only one I didn’t run into was Wen Jiaojiao.”

At that moment, the assistant director approached and said to Director Sun:

“Wen Jiaojiao’s follow-cam PD said she got up early to pick mushrooms and is now at home cooking soup; she hasn’t eaten yet.”

Qi Tianyu’s eyes widened, “Damn, I was wondering why Sister Jiaojiao hadn’t shown up until now; turns out she’s hiding some goodies. If I had known earlier, I would’ve gone over to her place for a meal!”

However, Jiang Yan snorted coldly, “Just imitating others, after turning that whole basin of seafood into a mess yesterday, how delicious can her Mushroom Soup be?”

Although he loathed to admit it, when it came to cooking, Jiang Li’s skills even surpassed that of their family’s maid.

He had no idea where she learned her craft, even keeping it a secret from her own brother.

Qi Tianyu suddenly realized, “Oh, right!”

As for Wen Jiaojiao’s cooking skills… let’s not even go there.

Director Sun checked his phone, “Since Wen Jiaojiao is the only person who was late, let’s deduct one point from her.”

[I’m dying of laughter haha the lady next door Wen Jiaojiao is still rejoicing over her lucky find of great food, unaware that her points have already been deducted.]

[Just came over from next door, feels like the Princess is quite happy with her food, could it be that her cooking has indeed improved?]

[Sisters, wake up, the Princess is trained in acting, just look at her exaggerated expressions and you’ll know, her enjoyment is just a show for us.]

[Hahahaha I can’t stop laughing, this is too much, I’ve got to go watch!]

However, at this moment, Jiang Li spoke up, “Then, Director, what about our points?”

Director Sun looked at her, “What points?”

Jiang Li smiled, “Yesterday, when we all gathered, everyone received different points based on the order of arrival, and both Jiang Yan and I had points deducted for being late. But today we were on time, so shouldn’t that count for something?”

Director Sun: “This…..”

“Yeah, Director,” chimed in Qi Tianyu immediately, “you kept us up so late last night and then called us up so early today, there ought to be some points for that, right?”

“Just a reminder,” continued Jiang Li, “all five of us arrived on time together. If the scores given at the end are different, then the fairness of the show might be called into question.”

Director Sun: “I…..”

“Exactly, Director Sun, after a tiring day yesterday, we got up early this morning with sore backs and waists. You didn’t even provide us with breakfast, but at least there should be some points,” Qi Tianyu added his two cents.

Hearing this, both Jiang Yan and Shu Yan started to complain as well.

In the end, Director Sun had no choice but to give everyone an additional two points.

[Hahaha, Sister Li is starting to lead the charge in shearing good scores from Director Sun.]

[Princess Wen missed out on a fortune.]

[Director Sun’s face has soured, he’s looking at Jiang Li as if she were an enemy, it’s hilarious.]

After another fifteen minutes, Wen Jiaojiao finally appeared on the ridge.

She seemed to be in a good mood, and despite looking haggard from exhaustion and staying up late, she hummed a tune as she approached.

Qi Tianyu, who knew the reason, was envious to the point of turning red and went straight up to her.

“Sister Jiaojiao, did you secretly eat something delicious without us? That’s so unfair waah, why didn’t you save some for me?”

Wen Jiaojiao deliberately glanced at Jiang Li, snorted triumphantly, and said with insinuation:

“I spent the whole morning and only found a dozen or so mushrooms, barely enough for myself. Doesn’t Jiang Li know how to forage? Why don’t you go mooch off her?”

Qi let out a long sigh, “We were too late, Sister Li only had sweet potatoes and corn left.”

Wen Jiaojiao snorted again, “Well, isn’t that curious? Isn’t Jiang Li always trying to save face? Why would she only have that to offer you?”

As she spoke, Wen Jiaojiao kept an eye on Jiang Li’s reaction.

She didn’t believe that she wouldn’t be able to force out her true colors like this!

Yet, Jiang Li remained quietly standing in place with lowered eyes and brows, not looking at her once, and her expression didn’t change at all.

Wen Jiaojiao found it both strange and infuriating.

How could this woman be so good at pretending?!

Upon hearing her, Director Sun rubbed his chin, “Jiaojiao, it’s probably best not to eat wild mushrooms carelessly. If you got food poisoning, we’re so far from the hospital in the county town.”

Wen Jiaojiao waved it off unconcernedly, “How could that happen? I carefully picked them one by one based on pictures from Baidu; there’s no way I could get poisoned. Besides, I’m standing here in good health, aren’t I?”

As she said this, she glanced at Director Sun but then froze on the spot.

After a moment, she pointed at Director Sun’s head.

“Something’s not right. Director Sun, when did you get a subtitle above your head? How can I see what you’re saying?”
