Chapter 197 - 178: Then Why Don’t You Call the Police?
Chapter 197: Chapter 178: Then Why Don’t You Call the Police?
Ji Xizhi glanced at the time; it was just six o’clock. “Life Experience” would be airing at seven tonight.
In the last episode, Director Wang invited all the guests to join the livestream and watch the main show with the fans, which turned out surprisingly well, so they decided to do it again this time.
It was basically just a simple livestream, not too troublesome, and for the guests who couldn’t make it, Director Wang didn’t insist, except for Ji Xizhi 🙂
Fortunately, Ji Xizhi is always committed. When Director Wang mentioned it to her, she agreed.
However, unexpectedly, before “Life Experience” was even set to air, Mo Anxia, Qiu Lin, and Le Qiqi came over together.
The three stood at the door, looking at Ji Xizhi excitedly, “It’s rare to finish work so early; let’s hang out together!”
Ji Xizhi remained unmoved: “I won’t join you, you guys go ahead and play.”
At her words, the three of them immediately drooped their heads.
Ji Xizhi added an explanation, “The ’Life Experience’ is airing tonight, I have to livestream and watch the show with the fans.”
As soon as Qiu Lin heard this, he got interested: “Watch the show? I want to watch too! Is it airing tonight? Take me with you!”
Mo Anxia nodded frantically, “Master’s Uncle Wang—no, Master’s show, I must watch it!”
Le Qiqi’s eyes darted around, considering the potential investment in a new show, and she said, “I want to watch too! I heard you’re still inviting guest stars?”
Upon hearing that Ji Xizhi’s show was going to air, the three were all excited and expressed their desire to watch.
And it was genuine interest, not just flattery. After all, their Sherlock Holmes group of six just finished recording a variety show, and hours ago, they witnessed Director Xu transform into Uncle Xu up close.
Now… Tsk, who’s not curious about Director Wang turning into Uncle Wang!
For Qiu Lin and Mo Anxia, it was partly curiosity, but mainly they thought, Director Wang is still, after all, a director in the same circle. There might be cooperation opportunities in the future, so it’s best to learn something from Ji Xizhi about handling Director Wang?!
Le Qiqi simply wanted to have fun and mess around with Ji Xizhi.
Before meeting Ji Xizhi, she felt that the escape room show was the most fun. After meeting Ji Xizhi—following Ji Xizhi, which show isn’t fun?!
Since Ji Xizhi couldn’t record a few more escape rooms, she could go to “Life Experience”; whichever director’s fun to watch, isn’t it?
Le Qiqi’s mind was buzzing with calculations.
Each of the three had their thoughts, eagerly looking at Ji Xizhi.
Ji Xizhi didn’t refuse any further, stepping aside, “Then come in and watch. It starts at seven.”
After all, Director Wang didn’t say they couldn’t all watch the show together. She could watch alone, or with four people.
Ji Xizhi calmly moved a bag of prosthetics from the sofa to the side, then let the three sit down.
After settling them, she quietly cooperated with the “Life Experience” program team to post on Weibo for promotion.
Ji Xizhi V: #LifeExperienceEpisodeTwoOfficiallyAirs# Tonight at seven, joining everyone to watch the show.
Mo Anxia, Qiu Lin, and Le Qiqi immediately reposted.
Repost Mo Anxia V: Sit tight and wait!
Repost Qiu Lin V: Sit tight and wait!
Repost Le Qiqi V: Sit tight and wait!
Qian Huiyi and Xie Ming were still on the way, but their studios soon reposted as well.
Ji Xizhi had just finished recording “Escape Room,” and having the regular show guests help repost wasn’t surprising.
In the entertainment industry, things like this were common. Ji Xizhi and the regular guests just met recently; they were just helping to promote, they wouldn’t really watch it.
The fans didn’t mind either; they just left a comment wishing for a long friendship and didn’t plan to watch.
Director Wang was overseeing the program’s promotion team, and before they even started paying for trending topics, he saw Ji Xizhi bringing the entire “Escape Room” regular cast to promote “Life Experience.”
Director Wang grinned from ear to ear: Ji Xizhi poaching from the rival camp felt just… so satisfying!!!
As Director Wang watched the rising popularity, he waved his hand and sent several red envelopes to Ji Xizhi on WeChat.
Ji Xizhi was in the room adjusting the TV’s scheduled playback interface, just set it up, and received a message from Director Wang.
Ji Xizhi: ?
Director Wang: Get ready for the livestream!
Ji Xizhi: Okay.
–
After setting up the TV, it was still half an hour before “Life Experience” officially aired.
After posting on Weibo, Ji Xizhi casually visited the CP super topic to chat with the intellectuals.
The other three sat on the sofa, wanting to ask Ji Xizhi to start a game, but she seemed really busy.
Mo Anxia hesitated but eventually only called on Qiu Lin and Le Qiqi, “Should we start a game first?”
Qiu Lin/Le Qiqi, “Let’s go!”
The three formed a team and met in the canyon.
Qiu Lin and Mo Anxia had a lot of gigs usually, and Mo Anxia had school assignments too. They were too busy to keep up, hadn’t played in months, and their ranks dropped significantly.
Le Qiqi had it easier, but she didn’t play often; she visited the canyon maybe once a month.
The three teamed up as gold rank, matched with two random players just to rank up.
Mo Anxia quickly locked in a jungle role, Qiu Lin as marksman, and Le Qiqi as a healer.
Gold tier games shouldn’t have been difficult, just to kill some time for half an hour.
But as soon as the game started, Mo Anxia was pinned down by the enemy’s jungler and mage.
Having not played for months, Mo Anxia hadn’t gotten his touch back, and was being toyed with and killed, and Qiu Lin and Le Qiqi weren’t doing much better, with killing sound effects constantly heard.
Moreover, the opponents kept hurling insults.
“Retarded kid? Standing to fight is so tiring, why don’t you lie down for my interest?!”
“So trash, just surrender already, stop wasting time!”
“Tsk, recording this, gonna post it later, enjoy with the fans~”
Not even ten minutes into the game, and the opponents’ insults got dirtier and dirtier.
In the end, Mo Anxia couldn’t stand it, and, holding back his anger, he turned on the all-chat mic and said, “What’s your problem?! You gonna play or quit talking crap!”
“I like it, hey, I love seeing dumbasses jumping around when they can’t kill me! Who told you to match with me!”
Mo Anxia: “You—”
He’d never encountered such unreasonable people before, especially with Ji Xizhi and others around, he couldn’t just curse back.
Being so mad, when he glanced at Ji Xizhi sitting nearby, Mo Anxia, emboldened, loudly declared, “I’ll tell you, I’ve screenshotted everything you’ve said.”
“Oh, I’m so scared~ Why don’t you just call the police, come catch me already!”
Ji Xizhi suddenly spoke, her voice calm, “Okay, then wait for it.”
Mo Anxia, who was just about to explode from anger, immediately calmed down upon hearing Ji Xizhi’s voice.
In a flash, Mo Anxia handed his phone over to Ji Xizhi without hesitation.
Regardless of whether Ji Xizhi played games or not, he blindly trusted her; even if she couldn’t play, Ji Xizhi’s words alone could choke the opponent!
