Chapter 63: CH 63

Fu Xiu Nian’s words could be matched with the saying that if the words don’t shock people, he will never stop to do so until he dies.

This kind of landmine being thrown out not only made the viewers who were watching and preparing their pitchforks start laughing like crazy, even Chen Yi stopped eating his candy. He lifted his eyes to emotionlessly look at Fu Xiu Nian and then bit the candy in his mouth harshly, crushing it into pieces. With the disproportionate distribution of white and black in his eyes, when compared to an average person, it made him look quite evil and scary.

Fu Xiu Nian’s gaze met Chen Yi’s eyes, and he was not only not scared, but he even smiled at him. His dimples came out of hiding and showed up along with his smile before Fu Xiu Nian turned around to head into the water. His voice rang out light heartedly as he said out loud, 

“I’m going to catch some fish now.”

Chen Yi slowly retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes. Continuing to play around with the candy shards in his mouth, he ate the lollipop as if he was smoking a cigarette instead.

It was at this time that the production team issued a new mission: 

“Besides Chen Yi who is unable to join in due to his health, the other four must compete with each other within a time limit of two hours. The winner will be determined by the total weight of the fish you have caught and they will be able to head into the convenience shop to pick out whatever items they want. The one with the lowest total weight will be given a punishment instead.”

The “convenience shop” was really only a trailer attached to the end of a car. It was small, but it had everything they would need. Everything from wood, rice, oil, salt, snacks and drinks were prepared, just like a regular corner brick and mortar convenience store, hence the name as “convenience shop”. 

To these stars that could become vegetables themselves from eating only vegetables, it was no doubt a huge motivational boost. But the PD team would not provide any materials or tools for them, and the celebrity guests could only enter the shop for ten minutes with empty hands. How much they could carry would be based on their cleverness.

Ah Qi immediately clapped enthusiastically, as if he knew he would be on top already, 

“I agree, I agree. Hu. You guys are finally being generous for once.”

The girls themselves however were not concerned about that. Instead, Zhao Ke Yi and Li Su Li’s face dropped in fear and asked, 

“What is the punishment for being last?”

The PD smiled meaningfully, 

“Nothing difficult. A very simple task. The last will become a volunteer, helping an old granny by the village entrance with her chores.”

It was said easily, but it could not not be difficult. The commenters immediately went to discuss the implications.

[ This production team is really not human. Things one after another, over and over. The punishment from the last game was said to have the boys help tend the cows, but it was really cleaning up piles of their poo. The group of men vomited as soon as they were done, until they heaved out more than the fat of their body. ]

[ Chen Yi was already slacking off during the last punishment. Ah Qi and Fu Xiu Nian were worked to death on his behalf. This time he’s already lying like a sack of potatoes again. What kind of stupid luck does he have? Everyday, every time, just taking the fruit of other people’s efforts. What, is being sick supposed to be something great? Why didn’t he die at the hospital. If he rested for eternity, how great would that be? ]

[ This is the first time I have seen Chen Yi. As a simple passerby, he’s ok. Quite a straightforward man, no frills and all that. That phrase if he’s pregnant cracked me up so hard lol ]

[ I have already become so used to those celebrities pretending their asses off. Chen Yi’s words just hit right on the target. This kind of temper fits my taste so well ]

[ I don’t like Chen Yi, but I hope some other people can take note of themselves and reflect on who they are rooting for]

[ This piece of shit, I hope he gets booted out of the entertainment industry. I just want to throw up the more I look at him. Where did this bot army pop up from? Fuck off ]

[ Fuck your fucking mother off. Just talking nice about him makes me a bot? Are you fucking insane ]

[ Those who are on the side of Chen Yi are just brain dead idiots. How could that kind of person have any fans? How much did his team give you? Are you blind from all the money? I heard his parents died from anger because he used all their money to get into the entertainment industry. Chen Yi, what a fucking piece of garbage ]

[ Wow, someone thinks they are so smart huh. Wasn’t it just yesterday that someone said Chen Yi had no mom or dad growing up, only his grandma raised him. And now today it’s been changed to his parents dying from anger. How many stories are you going to give out? What, I’m going to be his fan. Are you dead yet? Dead yet from all the anger issues ]

[ I * you * your mom. Are you motherfucking blind? Stanning Chen Yi, are you sure you didn’t kill off your ancestor from making them so mad huh ]

Wah La!

— Not even half an hour later, the basket by Fu Xiu Nian’s waist1 was already full.

Ah Qi had already given up on catching any fish and he was like a viewer on the livestream,  only staring at Chen Yi and his ever never ending cycle of fish. Zhao Ke Yi’s eyes were glimmering like there were stars in them, changing from her previous attitude into a fangirl, 

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!! Chen Yi, how are you catching them!!! Teach me!!!!”

Li Su Li was already paralyzed to the core and she couldn’t even muster up a smile on her face.

The viewers were all cursing a storm in their hearts: Are you motherfucking serious?!!!! Even those pay-to-win gamers aren’t that good!!

[ This must be fake. Did the filming crew prepare this beforehand…… ]

[ 1. The water’s clear. And the PD has been filming the entire time, so they couldn’t have done something; 2. Chen Yi’s name is “big”, but it’s not so big that the crew would help him cheat ] 

[ The fish in these countryside ponds are too smart. It is not easy to catch one at all ]

[ There’s nothing that special about it. When I lived by the sea, I could catch more than he could in half an hour ]

[ A wrecked boat still has three pounds of nails2. Perhaps Chen Yi’s skill is catching fish. But still, that’s too crazy. He didn’t even need to look and he just stabs the stick in the water, not even needing time to survey the water ]

[ It’s just fish. Don’t make him into such a fucking god. Any fisherman by the sea would be stronger than him. ]

[ GARBAGE Chen Yi. Won’t even carry his own basket and dumping it all on Xiu Xiu3 to bear his weight. What if my Xiu Xiu can’t even put his own fish into his own basket? We’re done, we’re so done for. His hand also has an injury, so he couldn’t be the last one, right ]

[ Who made Fu Xiu Nian’s temper so nice. He’s too easy to bully. Li Su Li and Chen Yi, these two crazy nuts are pulling him from side to side, bullying him, easier to play with than clay ]

Fu Xiu Nian untied the basket by his waist and placed it on the bank. He was pouring all the fish out before he suddenly saw Chen Yi come up on shore in a hurry. With his pants rolled up to his knees, revealing some very muscular calves, Chen Yi began to put his shoes back on. His eyes somehow also seemed to be more blazing and ferocious than the sun in the sky.

“Chen Yi, are you not going to continue?”

“No.”

Fu Xiu Nian crowded around the shore and counted the fish as he said to Chen Yi, 

“Thanks to you, we have all this. The napa cabbage in the courtyard has almost been cleaned out by us. These fish should last us quite a while.”

Chen Yi said, 

“There’s something to eat just beside you.”

Fu Xiu Nian looked beside him, but he could only see some green grass growing by the road and he asked curiously, 

“What is this? I have never seen this before.”

Chen Yi looked at him oddly, 

“Shepherd’s purse4. These can be eaten.”

Fu Xiu Nian blinked, 

“I didn’t know that these can be eaten?”

Chen Yi: “As long as you know rice can be eaten, then that’s fine.”

Notes:

*1 fish/woven basket: There’s actually quite a few different designs(?), of many different sizes, some of which can be like a cone shape to catch fish, some that are ginormous (which you can find pretty easily on taobao actually), some that are more round and some with openings and closings, but here’s something to give an estimate (this one is from a posting on taobao!):

*2 A wrecked boat still has three pounds of nails: A saying that means something broken still has something to be used like nuts and bolts of a wrecked boat still can be used even if the boat is wrecked.

*3 Xiu Xiu: A nickname by the netizens, most likely his fans, for Fu Xiu Nian, taking the middle of his name, and kind of like saying my child, Xiu Xiu, being a bit cute.

*4 Shepherd’s purse: A very common grass that grows by the roadside, literally translated as “ground grass/veggie” due to its common-ness, but also edibility.
