Chapter 177 Someone is going to the sea
Finally, Shi Li's group left the zoo under the explicit suggestion of their fellow PD.
The main reason was that Shi Li was not full, and wanted to exploit the bug and continue to break the iron fence to exchange for a lunch box.
This behavior is obviously contrary to the original intention of the program team.
The shots they wanted were of the funny and amusing behaviors of the frogs when facing hunger.
For example, Huichun from the next group couldn't even move when passing by the restaurant.
The contrast between him looking at the citizens eating with pitiful eyes and drooling was very strong.
Another example is the scene where Shi Li and A Qing picked up a fruit and were fighting over it. After A Qing finished eating it, he foamed at the mouth and twitched on the spot for three minutes.
Finally, after the 24-hour challenge, Shi Li and A Qing took the program crew's car back to the TV station.
There, the six members, including the two, Mushroom, Grass, Shi and Qing, gathered and met Frog PD, who was in charge of the TV station and in overall control, again.
"Welcome back everyone, I'm sure you've had a hard time these past 24 hours."
"According to the program team's advance inquiries and investigations, we have already prepared the food for you."
"Everyone can enjoy the food while it's hot while you listen to me."
"Serve the food, quack."
Following a command from Frog PD, six small carts were pushed out, with something covered with a silver cover placed on top.
Seeing this scene, the eyes of the other five people except Slime lit up.
Shi Li remembered that on the way back, the PD who was traveling with him did ask him what he wanted to eat most at that moment.
His answer was that he wanted to eat a bowl of hot egg fried rice.
Now I opened the lid and found that it was indeed a bowl of egg fried rice.
Then, he happened to glance at the slime next to him, but its cover was empty.
"Wow~! It really smells like the seaside, boo~"
But this guy had an intoxicated expression.
Shi Li had a good sense of smell and could smell a unique scent with a hint of salty sea breeze.
It turns out that although Slime was eliminated, he was still eligible to participate in the ordering process.
What it ordered was a fresh air from the seaside.
I didn't expect that the program crew could find such a thing. They really have great skills.
But now Shi Li was not in the mood to complain about the Slime, because strictly speaking, he had not eaten for more than ten hours.
Later on, they did catch something edible.
But he found that the so-called small animals on Frog Star were all strange-looking insects.
If a player who is afraid of insects came instead, he would probably be scared to death.
Although he was not afraid of these strange insects, he still couldn't bring himself to eat them because he felt disgusted.
Ah Qing's situation is the same as his.
Fortunately, the program crew allowed them to drink water, and he and A Qing drank a lot at a drinking fountain in a park.
To be honest, the so-called fried rice in front of him was a bit strange and completely different from what he knew.
The egg inside was not an egg or duck egg as he thought it was. The egg white was green and he didn't know what kind of egg it was.
It seems that the diet of this Frog Planet is indeed a bit unique. After all, even the fried rice in the Cubic Metaverse is not that special. On the contrary, it is almost the same as that on the Blue Planet.
Now Shi Li no longer cares about so many things. They are all cooked food anyway, so he won’t get an upset stomach.
So, he started eating with big mouthfuls.
After eating it, I found that it tasted really good.
Although the taste is a bit weird, it's not unpalatable.
It has a special delicious and fragrant taste, and the golden egg liquid blends perfectly with the loose rice.
It can be seen that the fried rice chef must have good skills, because this is the only way to make the egg liquid and rice tightly combined when stir-frying in the pan, and each rice grain is evenly coated.
A moderate amount of pepper is also added to add a subtle salty and spicy taste.
As for the others, Cao Ren naturally ordered a bucket of milk tea.
Mosaichou ordered the wild mushroom stew.
Ah Qing ordered a bowl of clumpy noodles with soybean paste.
Huichun was the most exaggerated one, ordering the most expensive seafood of the season.
It’s just that his experience is somewhat similar to Shi Li’s.
When the seafood was served, it looked like octopus, crab and spider, full of the flavor of crab.
But judging from the way Huichun resisted at first but then ate it with relish, it must be because it tasted good.
"Okay, while everyone is eating, I will announce the ranking order for the first round."
"I wonder if any teacher would like to predict how you will rank?"
"Uh...quack?"
As a result, no one paid any attention to what Frog PD said, and everyone was just eating.
[Hahahaha, this is the first time I see the famous Frog PD in the variety show circle being ignored]
[He deserves it for making this hunger special. Who would care about him now? Haha]
[But these foods make me drool, they look so exquisite]
[Does anyone understand? Can you tell us common people what they eat?]
[I am a culinary student, and I can see that they use relatively expensive ingredients. The production crew is really willing to spend money.]
[For example, the egg fried rice and noodles may seem ordinary, but they actually use extraordinary ingredients]
[Of course, no matter how expensive it is, it is not as expensive as the deep-sea crab of Frog]
[Thank you, it’s as good as not saying anything]
Seeing that Shi Li and others ignored him, PD Frog felt embarrassed and had to go through the process alone.
"Haha, since everyone is so curious."
"Then I will announce the second place first."
“Quack.”
[Poor Frog PD, he started to force the cue process]
[The emotionless word reading tool is confirmed]
Glancing at the live comments in the broadcast room , Frog PD's eyes twitched.
"So our second place is... the team of Mr. Anise and Mr. Shiwa, quack-dunk-dunk~!"
In order to avoid making himself look more embarrassed, he even dubbed himself.
At the signal, the staff pushed up a mobile screen.
It clearly states the 24-hour calorie difference between the Huichun and Slime groups: -3256 calories x2
Since Slime was eliminated early, Huichun had to compete alone.
But to be fair, his intake and consumption are both x2.
Actually, in terms of intake, this guy doesn't take in much.
I was riding on the open-air top floor of a double-decker bus when I fell asleep with my mouth open, and accidentally and unknowingly swallowed a few flies and other flying insects.
Apart from this, Huichun never ate anything else.
"So now there are only first and third place left. Who will win? Quack?"
Frog PD is ready to reveal the suspense.
[There is no suspense about this, right? Shiwa's group at least ate half of their lunch box.]
[That’s not necessarily true. They also burned a lot of calories walking around.]
[No way, they won't really let the sleeping group take first place, right? ]
[I hope the frog team comes first, they are such an interesting team]
[Yes, while other groups were running around outside looking for food, they were sleeping in the air-conditioning.]
[Actually, the sleeping group is pretty funny too, hahahaha]
[After watching it for a long time, it really feels a bit healing]
[If the sleeping group really takes first place, will there be another sleeping special next time? ]
[Please be careful with your words and don't give Frog PD ideas]
[Yeah, he’s going to copy the comments again later, hahahaha]
It takes some skill for Frog PD to create such a popular variety show as "Road to Frog Star".
His biggest characteristic is that he does not play by the rules and copies ideas.
The "copying" here does not mean copying other variety shows.
Instead, some small episodes that occur occasionally in daily life may become his variety show ideas.
For example, the idea for this episode's hunger special comes from the authentic food specials in the previous two episodes. A vegetarian frog lady who participated complained that this special would make her gain three pounds, so it would be better to have a hunger program to help lose weight.
As the saying goes, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. After a short period of planning, Frog PD turned this idea into reality.
As for copying barrages, it is commonplace.
After copying the key points, he would deliberately release screenshots of the source barrage and openly thank the enthusiastic netizens.
You know what, netizens really like his style.
The key point is that it is hard for the guests who are affected.
"Now I would like to announce the first place winner of the first round."
"The other group whose name was not called out was unfortunately automatically ranked third."
"So the first place goes to... the Time Frog Team! Or the Mushroom Frog Team or the Grass Frog Team?"
[Mad, can you please stop breathing when you announce it? ]
[This guy is as annoying as the PD Hong Wa of "Singer"! ]
[Fortunately it’s live, no need to wait for ads]
This behavior of Frog PD has drawn condemnation from netizens.
During this condemnation, two lines of numbers appeared on the screen.
- (1281 + 798) kcal, ? group.
- (2844 + 3823) kcal, ? group.
All three groups ended up with negative numbers, which again caused complaints and ridicule from netizens.
After a brief pause, Frog PD finally announced loudly.
"The first place in the first round goes to the Mushroom Frog and Grass Frog team!"
"Congratulations !"
“Also, please don’t be discouraged, Mr. Shiwa and Mr. Qingwa, and keep up the good work.”
"Next, let's present the prize to the first place winner."
"Frog Chaoyue's latest single physical album "Whose Calories Are Burning"~!"
“Quack, quack!”
[Hahahaha! What a crappy prize! ]
[Taking this album as a prize is ridiculous]
[I don’t know if you’ve heard this album, the electronic music that’s obviously edited is simply amazing]
[That’s right, I almost suspected that my external headphones were leaking electricity]
[I am a villager, so I bought a ticket to show my support, but now after listening to this, I have become an insomniac villager]
[Chaoyue Sister Frog is very good, pretty and cute, but I can’t praise her singing]
[It’s so funny, this is a typical case of winning being equal to not winning]
As expected, as a rising star in recent years, Frog Chaoyue has its own traffic.
As soon as this gift came out, barrages of comments were flying all over the place.
Shi Li looked at the staff handing the two albums to Mushroom and Straw Man, with a hint of envy in his eyes.
He was not envious of any prizes, but he was envious of the two guys who won the first place in this session and were going to get three card draw rewards.
However, the development of things seems to be different from what we expected.
[Ding Dong! ]
【Mission 1 stage completed】
【Because the player has the highest popularity among competitors】
[Reward 3 card draw opportunities]
"Um???"
The announcement of the copy made Shi Li raise his eyebrows.
What does this mean.
Doesn't this mean that the winner of the show is equal to the winner of the task?
In other words, according to the definition of the task, victory lies in gaining the highest popularity?
"Oh my god, this is a little bit of a twist."
Having three more chances to draw cards is of course a great thing.
Huichun and the others obviously also received the hint and cast envious glances at Shi Li.
On the way back, Huichun had already heard from the PD about some of the actions of the Shili + Aqing group.
It seems that winning or losing the game is not the key at all.
The key is to make things lively and put on a show!
[Ding Dong! ]
[Task 2 stage, the second part of the program]
[The winner of this round will get 3 chances to draw cards]
New tasks will be released immediately.
(That is to say, there are 10 stages in total, and there are 10 stages of tasks.)
(If you get all 10 tasks, you can get at least 30 more card draw opportunities!)
Having tasted the sweetness, Shi Li even imagined taking on all the rewards for the next mission.
As for other people who can’t get the reward?
I don't care if you guys die!
The little devil above his head had already started laughing wildly with his hands on his hips.
"Okay, are all the teachers full?"
"Then I will announce the recording tasks for the next session."
“Quack, quack, quack.”
Seeing that everyone had put down their cutlery, Frog PD spoke again.
After eating, everyone was in a good mood.
Everyone rubbed their full bellies, wanting to hear what kind of segment Frog PD would announce next.
Anyway, they already have some experience. If they continue to have a hunger contest, the worst that can happen is that they can just sleep together.
However, what PD Frog said next definitely refreshed Shi Li and the others' imagination.
“They say that every meal on the plate is the result of hard work.”
"Think about how our ancestors, the ancient frogs, used their tongues to catch mosquitoes one by one in order to collect food for the winter, and then plucked them off their tongues one by one and stored them. You can imagine how hard it was."
"Fortunately, a holy frog accidentally discovered that mosquito rice can be used as food, so we were able to evolve from a barbaric species to the highly intelligent creatures we are today."
"So in order to recall the past and think of the present, the theme of our second session is - food."
“Quack, quack!”
[Good fellow, if I passed the history test, it seems that the ancient frogs saved mosquitoes for the winter, that must have been something that happened nearly ten thousand years ago]
[At that time, our ancestors were not yet enlightened]
[This span of recalling the bitter past and thinking about the sweet past is too big]
[Hahahaha, remembering the bitterness of fossils and thinking about the sweetness of modern times]
[So what are they going to do now, catch insects or farm? ]
[Everyone, why do I always have a bad feeling...]
[Me too, this is Frog PD]
Sure enough, amid the doubts of netizens, Frog PD finally revealed the answer.
"Teachers, you should know that your meal today is not for nothing."
"The food you just ate is the food you will collect in the second phase."
"After I make this announcement, you can set off immediately."
"The time limit is 48 hours. Whoever brings back qualified ingredients first will be the first in the second round."
"The first place winner will also receive a reward."
“Quack!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the live broadcast room exploded.
[Guacao, did I hear that correctly? ]
[I knew the production team wasn't that generous! So the insidious trick is hidden here! ]
【Hahahaha, Frog PD, you are worthy of it! 】
[What kind of immoral variety show is this? It really made me laugh to death! ]
[Deep sea crabs? Hahahaha! A frog is going into the sea! ]
Of course, Shi Li and the others were also stunned on the spot.
Especially Huichun, the hand that was picking her teeth was frozen at the edge of her mouth, as if it was stuck.
"Of course, the production team is reasonable and won't make things too difficult for people."
"Everyone just needs to collect one of the main materials."
"Next, I will announce to you the materials that you each need to collect."
“Quack, quack, quack.”
Frog PD seemed calm on the surface, but he was actually secretly happy inside.
I'll let you ignore me, and I'll let you try to exploit the bug to get a lunch box.
You must be dumbfounded now.
Now you know who the real big brother is.
Quack quack quack!
"Teacher Shiwa, we need to collect some fresh air from the west coast, quack."
【West Coast? Hahahahahaha! 】
[It must be tens of thousands of kilometers away from here! ]
[What a bad fate! I thought she would have the most advantages! ]
[With the round trip and waiting for the flight, 48 hours doesn’t seem to be enough! ]
[It means I was eliminated before I even started, hahaha! ]
[Swam, OUT! ]
"Mr. Mushroom Frog, we need to go to the Shiwan Mountains to collect a portion of Mushroom Lizard Mushrooms, quack!"
[The Shiwan Mountains are not far away]
[Edible mushroom lizard mushroom, what is that? 】
[A mushroom that grows on a lizard that eats mushrooms]
[Oh my goodness, where is this nesting doll? ]
[I heard that the lizard is quite large and agile, so it might be hard to catch.]
"Teacher Caowa, since your milk tea is relatively easy to obtain, you need to add a production process."
"Please go to the Malanshan Plateau to find the Golden Bull and get 10 kilograms of condensed milk."
“Then we concentrate and extract it to make our own golden cow milk tea.”
"Quack."
[Oh my god, it turns out that what he drank was the legendary milk tea assassin, Golden Cow Milk Tea? ]
[But don’t mention it, the materials for the grass frog are indeed relatively easy to obtain]
[Why do I feel like it will drink secretly during the production process, hahaha]
"Teacher Frog, you are eating the secret recipe of the chef of the five-star hotel in this city."
“The ingredients are not difficult to find, but you need to collect them yourself, and then make a unique sauce under the guidance of a master chef.”
"I don't know much about the production process, but I heard that it requires chopping the meat 30,000 times."
"So I'm afraid you won't have enough energy later, how about another bowl? Quack?"
[30,000 times? Hahahaha! ]
[What kind of secret recipe is this that shortens lifespan?]
[The program crew is really inhumane]
[She actually ordered another bowl, which made me laugh to death! ]
"Teacher Huichun, what you ate was the expensive deep-sea crab. This creature is abundant in the Devil's Triangle area 3,000 nautical miles away."
"Please remember to sign the Frog Life Safety Waiver Agreement before you leave, quack."
[Hahahaha! Look, his face has turned green with fear]
[Actually, it’s just a resort]
[The program crew is really good at joking]
"Teacher Shiwa, what you just ate was dragon spider egg fried rice."
"So you need to find a wild dragon spider and collect its eggs."
"This dragon spider is very large and strong, so please treat it with care."
"But I believe if it's you, it should be okay, right?"
“Quack.”
[Ouch! Is this the sequel to Challenge the Big Animals? ]
[Is he the only guest among the six who needs to fight? Hahaha! ]
[I am looking forward to it, it seems like it will be very interesting]
“…”
When Shi Li heard this, he suddenly felt a little nauseous.
So this is spider egg fried rice.
"Okay, teachers, the 48 hours starts now."
"You can immediately follow the PD you are traveling with to your destination."
"By the way, Mr. Frog, you added a bowl of noodles, so you will have to chop the meat 60,000 times later."
“Quack, quack!”
Ah Qing: “???”
