Chapter 464 Coquetry Didn’t Work
There were clues to the checkpoints that had been set by the director’s team. As long as they paid close attention, they would find some trees tied with strips of cloth.
Based on these clues, Shi Mo and the others quickly found the first checkpoint.
This checkpoint had been hidden in a patch of weeds. It had been hidden very well. Even if they went close to it, they would only be able to see a little red flag. It had been decorated like a flower in a patch of green.
Wang Zi’s interest was piqued when she saw it and she volunteered to retrieve the flag.
Although she had not put in any effort, ultimately, if she was the one who took the flag, the netizens would think that she had put in a lot of effort.
As expected, when Wang Zi took the flag, all her fans on the bullet screen were praising her.
“As expected of my idol. Not only is she beautiful, but she’s also smart and witty. She’s practically omnipotent.”
“Zi Zi is awesome. She’s not like that Fang Mo’er who only knows how to rely on her boyfriend.”
When Fang Mo’er’s fans saw that their goddess was being criticized, they immediately retorted, “It’s clear that my goddess and my Prince Charming are the ones who have been looking for clues, alright? Wang Zi is just picking up the scraps.”
The bullet comments instantly turned into a scene where the fans of both camps were criticizing each other.
Wang Zi took the flag and was about to walk towards her partner when she suddenly stopped moving. She could not bring her body to move and she shouted, “Ahhhh, there’s a snake!”
Shi Mo was studying the next checkpoint some distance away. The only people who were close by were Fang Mo’er and Wu Ping.
Fang Mo’er heard Wang Zi’s shout and rushed over without a second thought. Wu Ping, on the other hand, stood where he was without moving.
When Fang Mo’er rushed over to take a look, she saw that it was just a small snake the length of a palm. Its body was khaki and it was not poisonous.
“It’s just a small snake that hasn’t grown up yet. It doesn’t bite people. From the color of its pattern, it’s not poisonous.” Fang Mo’er helplessly reassured Wang Zi.
“But I’m most afraid of snakes.” Wang Zi did not move even after hearing Fang Mo’er’s reassurances. Instead, she stared at Shi Mo.
All men had a desire to protect girls who were weaker. This was the time to attract his attention.
However, Shi Mo only glanced over and saw that Fang Mo’er was fine, so he went ahead to look for clues.
Fang Mo’er knew what Wang Zi was thinking and said coldly, “With the presence of a newborn snake here, that means there’s a snake nest nearby. If we don’t leave now, we might see a big snake.” Wang Zi, “…”
She finally did not dare to stay any longer and ran to Shi Mo’s side with the flag. However, because she rushed over too quickly, her face was red.
The flag had a compartment that contained a note inside. The reward was written on it.
Fang Mo’er took it out and took a look. The reward was a tent. It looked like they would have a place to sleep tonight.
The items would be kept by the program team for now. When they needed it, they could just ask the program team for it directly. This was considered an additional reward and would make it more convenient for everyone to continue with their missions.
It was still early, so they continued to look for the next checkpoint.
Because Shi Mo was around, many of these clues were pretty straightforward in telling them where the checkpoints were. If it had not been for the distance between them being so far apart, Shi Mo would probably have finished searching in half a day.
After the previous encounter with the snake, Wang Zi no longer took the initiative to retrieve the flags. Instead, she lagged behind the team as she followed them.
She did not even bother to make any guesses even if there were clues. Whenever she encountered a difficult path, she would slowly go around it. When Wu Ping urged her to hurry up, she merely said that wearing a dress made it inconvenient for her to do so.
The entire team’s progress could not be allowed to be dragged down just because of her, so Fang Mo’er considered her words carefully and advised, “Miss Wang, since wearing a skirt has made this journey a little inconvenient for you today, why don’t you wait here first until we can come back for you?”
Wasn’t she just trying to say it nicely? After all, Wang Zi would not be able to properly complete the mission without them.
Instead of letting her drag everyone down, it was better to let her stay here leisurely. It made no difference whether she was there or not.
Fang Mo’er only wanted to win and she did not care about Wang Zi’s other thoughts. “Am I dragging everyone down?” Unexpectedly, when Wang Zi heard what Fang Mo’er said, she immediately put on a look of self-blame.
Wu Ping could not stand it anymore and said impatiently, “No, it’s because Miss Fang understands that wearing a skirt is inconvenient for you, so she’s letting you relax a little.”
“It’s alright, don’t worry about me. I’ll just slowly follow behind on my own. There’s a cameraman following me anyway, so there won’t be any danger.” Wang Zi pretended to be very understanding.
Seeing that she had said this, no one said anything more. Instead, they continued to seriously search for clues. Wang Zi deliberately slowed down.
Not long after, she fell behind and wandered around with the cameraman following her.
Instructor Lu, who had been following them around, frowned when he saw Wang Zi behaving like this.
