It was still early when they arrived. The crew was busy adjusting the filming equipment. However, the three other groups of guests were already on set.
After Huo Yao got off the car, she put on her mask. She had bunned her hair up today and was dressed in a black hoodie and jeans. It was both casual and cool.
Since she had remarkable good looks, she could handle any style.
“Yu, what’s the theme today?” asked Huo Yao. Even though the program was unscripted, they must have some details that could be shared with the guests beforehand, considering all the things Tong Yu just told Huo Xiang.
Tong Yu quietly looked at Huo Yao. She had not asked this question during the filming of the first three episodes. How did she know that he had received information from the film crew beforehand today?
Huo Xiang’s little sister had a frighteningly keen sense of observation.
“The theme today is money.” Tong Yu could only reveal a small detail. After all, this was a live stream. If the guests knew too much, it might work against them.
“Okay.” Huo Yao adjusted her mask unhurriedly and did not ask further.
Huo Xiang was going through his social media on his phone. He raised his head and asked quizzically. “What are you talking about?”
Huo Xiang was clueless why he was feeling left out.
Before long, Tong Yu left from there.
The live stream commenced at 10:00 am.
The screen was filled with greetings from the audience, inquiring about the well-being of the guests. Huo Xiang put his phone away. He put on his headset before he greeted the audience through the camera.
Huo Yao merely reached her head out cursorily. After saying hello, she quietly retreated to the side to serve as Huo Xiang’s background.
The host walked out and mentioned all the sponsors before he got straight to the subject. “The mission we have for you today is easy.”
“Every time you say it’s going to be an easy day, it ends up being tough as hell,” said Yin Hai. He had been bickering with the host during every single episode.
The host instantly glared sideways at Yin Hai. “Do you want me to abuse my power and sabotage you?”
The moment Yin Hai heard this, he said to the camera, “If I can’t complete my mission later, it’s because the host pulled strings.”
The host went speechless.
The moment he said this, laughter flooded the comments on the screen, and the atmosphere instantly livened up.
The host inhaled deeply and ignored Yin Hai. He snapped his fingers in mid-air, and a film crew walked out with a few envelopes in hand.
“This is your grocery shopping money for the day. The film crew will drop you off at the town market in a minute. You will buy ingredients for making lunch this afternoon.”
The film crew handed the four envelopes to each group.
Huo Xiang pinched the envelope after he received it and said in surprise, “It’s pretty thick.”
He opened the envelope to see the bill denomination, and his face instantly froze.
Huo Yao noticed the strange expression on his face, and asked him. “How much?”
Huo Xiang parted his lips. Before he could respond, Yin Hai’s group sighed in shock. “The film crew is so mean. I thought it must have been a lot of money since it was such a thick wad of cash. It turned out to be only $20.”
It consisted of only $1 bills, so it added up to be very thick.
Huo Yao’s mouth twitched.
Huo Xiang took the money out. After counting it once, he looked at his little sister in shock. “What can we get with $20?”
