Chapter 36 Revealed 1
“The secret order of mission 7 has been revealed. 30 points have been added for Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu.”
Lin Xinmeng’s smile froze when she heard the mission announcement.
Qin Yitan was even more surprised than the former.
“Wasn’t it a mission to pick up trash? Wasn’t the 10 points added to the final score? Why are there more? More importantly, why is Lu Mingyu the one who completed it?!” he wondered.
Wen Jian exclaimed, “That’s amazing! But what’s the secret order about?”
Lin Xinmeng saw Zhou Moli walking in Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu’s direction. She forced a smile and said, “I don’t know. Let’s ask Lu Yang. I think she knows a lot.”
“Sure!” Wen Jian replied.
Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu were not at their campsite. They were by a large rock by the sea.
Lu Mingyu pushed the sand away. There was soil beneath the sand. He stuck a flat stone in and dug around. He saw the corner of the wooden box.
“Perfect!” he cried out in excitement.
“It’s better to come at the right time than early. Hahahaha! I’m dying of laughter from what Lu Mingyu said after I joined the live broadcast.”
Lu Mingyu passed the wooden box to Lu Yang and dusted off the mud on his hands.
“Yangyang, did we find a treasure?” Lu Mingyu’s tongue touched his upper jaw, and he smiled brightly.
Lu Yang’s beautiful pink lips moved slightly, “Maybe.”
In the camera, Lu Yang’s fingers were slender. Her round nails were neatly trimmed, and her fair skin glowed under the sun.
She slowly pushed away the dark brown soil on the wooden box and opened it with both hands. Inside was a card and a pearl from the program team.
Lu Mingyu picked up the card and read, “It says, ‘life comes from the ocean. Protecting the ocean is protecting ourselves.’ There’s also ‘congratulations on completing the hidden mission’.”
Seeing Lu Yang staring at the bead, Lu Mingyu asked curiously, “Yangyang, is there something strange about this pearl?”
“I don’t know yet. Put it in your pocket.”
With that, Lu Yang picked up the pearl and stuffed it into Lu Mingyu’s hand.
“I finally know what Lu Mingyu seems like. Isn’t he just a tool for holding items?”
“What is the hidden mission? Why don’t I understand? Didn’t they do some exercise before the meal? How did they find the box?”
“Perhaps the program team signed a contract to give Lu Mingyu special privileges and backstage support. This show should just be called Lu Mingyu’s godly variety show.”
The studio fell into dead silence.
“How did she find out about our hidden quest?” The director’s life had been full of ups and downs today. Now, he was lying down lazily.
The staff in charge of the mission carefully observed Lu Yang’s tracks, but he didn’t find any traces.
“It seems that she has a clear goal. She walked straight to the place where the wooden box was buried. She should know that there is something there.”
The director asked, “Did the information leak? Lu Mingyu and Lu Yang already knew the location of the wooden box we hid.”
“I don’t think so,” the staff replied.
Their variety show didn’t have a script like other shows, and very few people knew the details of the task.
…
“Did you guys hide clues again?!”
Before seeing the person, he heard the voice.
Qin Yitan walked over and pretended to be angry. He glared at Lu Mingyu, who was holding the card, and criticized him.
“No wonder you were so kind as to give me the task of picking up trash. It turns out that you hid the new set of tasks!”
Lu Mingyu’s patience ran out. He glared at him coldly and said, “You were the one who insisted on picking up trash. Even crows know how to feed their parents in return, and lambs know how to kneel down to suckle. Yet, you don’t know how to be grateful.”
“Lu Mingyu has come to take advantage of Qin Yitan again after the last time.”
“Lu Mingyu is putting him into his position.”
Qin Yitan was a little embarrassed when he was pointed out.
He felt vulnerable under Lu Mingyu’s stare, like a fish on a knife.
Qin Yitan was speechless. “You… How can you say that the mission is yours? The mission belongs to everyone. Whoever completes it first will get it.”
Wen Jian nudged him with her elbow and lowered her voice. “Shut up!”
Not only did he not know how to thank them for taking their mission, but he also undermined them.
Qin Yitan looked embarrassed. It was fine if he could not catch the fish, but now Lu Mingyu had completed the mission and gained so many points.
Lin Xinmeng glanced at Zhou Moli and realized that he was standing there quietly, his eyes darting back and forth between Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu.
She felt a sense of panic in her heart.
She quickly called out to the system, “System, why is Zhou Moli looking at Lu Yang?”
“Lu Yang completed his task. Zhou Moli is suspicious of her, so he is naturally keeping an eye on her.”
Lin Xinmeng heaved a sigh of relief, but the confusion in her heart was rapidly growing.
Lin Xinmeng continued, “System, check it out. Did Lu Yang reincarnate?”
“Points are required for this analysis. Do you wish to use the points?”
Lin Xinmeng gritted her teeth. “Exchange it!”
“The answer is no.”
Lin Xinmeng was astonished.
“Lu Yang was not reborn? Then, how did she know about the hidden mission and even completed it?” she wondered.
Wen Jian could not help but praise, “Lu Yang, you guys are amazing! You even know about the secret order!”
“I’m in luck today.”
“What’s the secret order?” Wen Jian blinked and looked at the wooden box curiously.
“It’s to protect the ocean.” Lu Mingyu handed the card to her.
Lin Xinmeng collected her thoughts. She looked at Lu Yang with a smile and asked, “How did you guys know about the hidden mission?”
Lu Mingyu raised his eyebrows and explained proudly, “Mission 7 on my watch is only considered complete when the drifting bottle is full. It doesn’t count if it’s not full.”
Lu Yang’s lips curved up imperceptibly.
“Are you f*cking me? A drifting bottle isn’t full, to begin with. I still think that it’s because of the script. Lu Yang’s background must not be small. Otherwise, how could she have landed this variety show?”
“Didn’t Lu Yang say it from the start? She’s Lu Mingyu’s biological sister.”
“I’m still very curious. How did she determine the location of the wooden box? Can anyone tell me?”
“A drifting bottle?” Lin Xinmeng repeated. The other three all looked at their watches and realized that mission 7’s bottle was indeed full.
“How did you guys know that the wooden box is here?” Zhou Moli finally asked.
Thinking of the three small missions, he frowned. “What does this have to do with the first three small missions?”
Lu Yang’s clear eyes were smiling as she slowly explained, “Side mission 1 of mission 7 is to clean up marine garbage, side mission 2 is to find and process heavy metals and acids, and side mission 3 is to deal with the residue of fertilizers and pesticides.”
“Side mission 1 includes side missions 2 and 3, so they can get 10 points for picking up trash,” Zhou Moli stated.
Wen Jian nodded. “We did get 10 points for clearing the trash.”
“How did you know about side missions 2 and 3?” Lin Xinmeng asked, confused.
Zhou Moli gave her a sideways glance.
He felt that Lin Xinmeng was playing dumb.
Lin Xinmeng had attempted to talk to Lu Mingyu whenever she had the opportunity because the system had predicted that she would save him.
In the eyes of Zhou Moli, this weird behavior was an exchange of information.
