Chapter 42 : Eliminated

When Lin Ran found an old, run down house, she saw that Lu Lanxiao was also searching inside it.

She reached under the table and felt for a persimmon.

She opened it and saw Lu Lanxiao’s name written on it, and the word on the note was: Take off.

“You are lucky this time. I found your key word.” Lin Ran lifted the note.

“Take off… in the live broadcast, the only thing the guests can take off… is one item.”

Lu Lanxiao lowered his head to look at his feet.

“Shoes.”

“I found you. I am sorry Miss Lin, but I will eliminate you now.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao hugged Yi Xia’s waist and tried to drag her back.

“No, you cannot eliminate her. She will eliminate me first.”

Lin Ran noticed that Yi Xia was holding a stick and asked in confusion, “You are going to hit me with the stick?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao shouted desperately, “They just found the words stick and back. She only needs to hit your back with the stick to eliminate you. Run quickly.”

Lin Ran sighed.

“If I run, would that not make it easier for her to hit my back?”

She did not run.

Instead, she stepped back into the room and stood with her back against the wall.

Then she looked at Yi Xia and smiled.

“These two words do not seem enough to eliminate me. Stick… is it a wooden stick or an iron stick, do you know? And this back… is it the back of the body, the top of the foot, or the back of the hand?”

Yi Xia stared blankly at her.

“It seems… that is true…”

At that moment, the loudspeaker in the village came on.

“Yi Xia eliminated. The game is over.”

Yi Xia was completely stunned.

“Me? Eliminated? What did I do?”

Lin Ran walked over and lifted the note in her hand.

“Correct… I guess it means eye contact. You would be eliminated if you made eye contact with someone, and there was probably a time requirement, maybe three to five seconds.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao, still hugging Yi Xia, finally released her and took out her own note.

“Mine says oil. I will be eliminated if I touch oil, right?”

When Lin Ran saw the word she was speechless.

“Your luck is truly good.”

There was a bottle of cooking oil placed right on the table in this house, but without the hint, who would have thought of using oil to eliminate Zhu Xiaoxiao?

Lu Zhengkai gathered everyone in the square and announced that the entire content of this episode was completed.

Guo Wei, who had been eliminated earlier, had already left.

Lu Zhengkai originally wanted him to stay until the end to say a few words, but Guo Wei was worried that the mushrooms he had just picked would not stay fresh, so he hurried back to preserve them with his equipment and left during the night.

Yi Xia was invited onstage to give her elimination speech.

She had just changed into a set of Hanfu.

She did not look sad at all. Instead, she was smiling happily.

“I came here to promote Hanfu, but I know there are not many people who like it, and not many people would watch my live broadcast. Before I leave, I have one wish. I hope… I hope Miss Lin could wear one set of my Hanfu. Would that be possible?”

Her voice was sincere.

“I know my influence is very small, but Miss Lin has many fans and a much greater influence than mine. My game is already over. If you are willing to wear Hanfu once, everyone in our Hanfu association would be extremely grateful.”

Lin Ran stood with her arms crossed and laughed.

“You were running so fast even in Hanfu, so it seems Hanfu does not affect movement much. As long as the clothing is beautiful, I am willing to wear it.”

Yi Xia said with delight, “I brought many sets. There must be something Miss Lin will like.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao complained from the side, “Only letting her wear them? Why not let me wear them?”

Yi Xia paused.

“Did you not say it looked ugly?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao answered, “If I wear it, it will not look ugly.”

Yi Xia nodded quickly.

“All right. Of course there is one for you. Thank you.”

Fan Shuhao laughed and added, “Too bad there is no clothing for men, or we could help you promote it too.”

Yi Xia smiled.

“Who said there is no clothing for men?”

Fan Shuhao was surprised.

“What?”

Inside the large boxes Yi Xia had brought were neatly folded Hanfu from various styles and dynasties, for both men and women.

“I joined the program originally to use the influence of other guests for promotion, so I prepared a lot.”

Fan Shuhao had only said it casually, but he did not expect her to be prepared.

When he saw how carefully crafted the clothing was, he also could not resist wanting to try one on.

“Then… can I pick a set?”

With Fan Shuhao taking the lead, the other male guests also expressed their willingness to try Hanfu.

Even Lu Zhengkai agreed.

Everyone wearing Hanfu together for a group photo as the final ceremony would be wonderful.

Everyone divided into two groups, men and women, to choose the styles they liked.

That was when everyone discovered that Hanfu actually had so many different types.

Because the dynasties differed, the clothing varied greatly between each era.

Yi Xia styled Lin Ran and Zhu Xiaoxiao’s hair to match their outfits and added the accessories.

The men had short hair and she did not bring wigs, so she simply let them choose the clothing without doing their hair.

After changing, everyone gathered in the middle of the square.

Yi Xia introduced the Hanfu worn by each person to the audience, explaining which dynasty each style belonged to.

She explained so clearly that even viewers who were not interested listened quietly.

When everyone stood together, Lu Zhengkai, who was wearing Song dynasty official attire, officially announced, “The first episode of the program is completed. Thank you for your hard work. The second episode will be recorded in half a month. Follow our live broadcast room and the official account on the video website. We will send reminders.”

The live broadcast officially ended, and all the guests’ screens went dark.

…

For a full week after the broadcast of Fierce Travelogue, the show stayed on the trending list.

All the guests who participated became the focus of heated discussion across the entire internet, gaining enormous numbers of followers.

Everyone had originally thought someone would be exposed for inappropriate behavior during the live broadcast.

During promotion, Wu Lele even joked every day that he was going to be exposed.

But after the first episode ended, no one fell from grace.

Instead, everyone received unanimous praise.

Even Guo Wei, who was the most low key during the broadcast, gained nearly one million followers.

Many people visited his video account because of the show and discovered that he truly was a content creator who put his heart into food.

Many people stayed and became his fans.

Seeing everyone complain that his recipes were too hard to learn, Guo Wei said he would teach some simple home cooked dishes soon.

Wu Lele, who already had tens of millions of fans, became troubled recently because people kept commenting under his videos, “Not funny.”

But the bullet comments on his videos were filled with “ha ha ha ha ha” nonstop.

His fan count rose by over a million, and his views increased greatly.

Guan Guodong, who had fewer highlights during the broadcast, still gained another million followers.

The viewers were simply too many, and there were only eight guests.

During the live broadcast, Guan Guodong swore, “I will definitely reclaim my national rank. Next time I see Zhu Xiaoxiao, I must tell her that my national rank is back.”

He spent the past few days grinding his rank, and because his skills were good, he gained many more fans.

The ones who gained the most were Fan Shuhao and Zhu Xiaoxiao.

Because of their performance on the show, they went from unnoticed nobodies to internet celebrities.

Both gained several million followers and appeared on the hot search repeatedly.

The beautiful Hanfu displayed by Yi Xia caused a wave of interest online.

It brought great attention to the Hanfu association she belonged to.

Many people followed Hanfu because of her and gained more understanding of it.

To Yi Xia’s surprise, Lin Ran contacted her on her own, offering to film a few episodes together to explain Hanfu knowledge, and even agreed to be her model.

Yi Xia was overjoyed and the entire Hanfu association took this very seriously.

Lin Ran even brought Meng Xiao along when recording the videos.

Yi Xia was moved to tears.

“Thank you Sister Ran. I did not expect that even though we barely spoke during the program, you would help us so much. On behalf of the Hanfu association, I thank you.”

“My Xiao takes roles in period dramas. If anything goes wrong with the clothing, it is very hard to fix later.”

Lin Ran said, “So we actually came to learn.”

Yi Xia nodded.

That is true.

If a line is wrong, they can cut the scene or add dubbing.

Clothing appears constantly on camera and cannot be cut out.

You absolutely must not make mistakes with the costumes in period dramas…
