Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn - CH 51.2

Shen Xingchen didn’t know he was going to die if he continued to run his mouth. He kept recklessly talking to Shen Xingsui, “Ohh, I have an idea. We’ll ask Ning Ze to join us, how about it? It’s time for the three of us to continue being roommates!”

Shen Xingsui hesitated for a moment.

It’s not that he didn’t want to, it’s just that he thought it might be too cramped – the beds were all single beds, and it would be uncomfortable for three big men to sleep on it. Besides, their room was designed to be a single-person room, and he was afraid the program crew might disallow any rooming between the guests.

Just as he was about to turn Shen Xingchen down and just gave him his mosquito net, a certain domineering Movie Emperor spoke first.

Leaning against the door with a mysterious smile on his face, Fu Jinxiao called out, “Shen Xingchen.”

Shen Xingchen was caught unaware,”Huh?”

Fu Jinxiao chastised him with some kind of… indescribable tone, “If you howl any more, the heat on your body will increase. Mosquitoes are more likely to find you. That’s why you’d better shut up now or face the consequences.”

Shen Xingsui thought that the actor’s smile had a sinister edge to it.

Shen Xingchen, however, didn’t catch the actor’s hostility. He just nodded along with what Fu Jinxiao said at face-value. He decisively let go of Shen Xingsui.

Fu Jinxiao continued, “How can he sleep on you in a single bed?”

Shen Xingchen reacted slowly, finally realizing something.

“Take it.” Fu Jinxiao threw a small bottle to Shen Xingchen, “Mosquito repellent spray, sleep after applying it.”

After taking it, Shen Xingchen said curiously: “Fu-ge, didn’t you say you only have a small bottle? Why is there any extra?”

Under the light, Actor Fu’s complexion was elegant. With the usual kind smile on his face, he replied, “Really? Maybe I misremembered.”

“…”

The audience in the live broadcast room watched this going down happily:

[Hahahaha he successfully convinced Shen Xingchen!]

[The moment he heard they will sleep together, Mister Fu immediately turned around.]

[Sisters, I suddenly want to ship them.]

[I agree, I agree! Fu-ge is really sweet towards Suisui!]

[I am a fan of Fu-ge. I have never watched variety shows before because he rarely appears on them. Today I really have a feast~]

The night was getting late. Just when everyone was going to sleep, the director team sent a wooden box to each guest’s room.

Shen Xingsui was also very surprised when he got the box, but he dutifully carried the box on the table and opened it. There was a card inside that said:

[Greetings, young heroes who came to this mansion. With a heavy heart, we must inform you that the Prince’s private visit has been leaked to the assassins. As one of the Prince’s envoys, you must catch these assassins lurking amongst you. If the traitors aren’t found within five days, the Prince’s life may be forfeit. Please find out the truth and catch them.]

Shen Xingsui didn’t expect “Bright Stars” to have such a plot!

His role was printed on another card. Shen Xingsui picked it up hesitantly, and found that the card read:

[Your identity is—the Prince. Please protect yourself from being approached by the assassins, and help your teammates to identify the assassins.]

Shen Xingsui: “?”

He actually got the identity of the “Prince”?

There were a total of ten guests in this program group. Since the card kept mentioning multiple assassins, there must be two assassins – as three assassins would be too many for a group with ten members. Excluding himself and the two traitors, there were seven people who should be on his side.

He needed to be clever in finding his teammates, making sure none of them were actually the traitor. If he just recklessly revealed his identity, he might become the target of the assassins. So he had to wait and see what happened tomorrow.

The cameraman was next to him and took a picture of Shen Xingsui’s ID card. Netizens were very excited:

[My God, the little bunny is the prince!]

[I thought Brother Fu would get this identity.]

[Hahaha, I just came back from another live broadcast room and found that Actor Fu got the “Prince’s Guard” identity.]

At the same time, all the guests got the boxes–

Shen Xingchen complained about the identity he got, “I’m just a mere guard?? I refuse! I want to be the assassin. How cool is that?!”

Cameraman: “…”

He had never been so speechless in his life.

The other guests also got their identity cards.

The viewers could only see a few of them, as some of the guests were quite sneaky and hid it from the camera.

[Both Xingchen and Fu-ge got the guard identity.]

[Suisui is the Prince.]

[It’s confirmed that Tuya and Instructor Li are also guards.]

[Feng Fan is also a guard!]

[Xu Qinke just opened his, he’s also another guard.]

So far, the netizens have ruled out six people1I changed quite a lot in this passage bc the author fucked this up quite a bit. They originally write there are “eight guests” but if you count them all up, it should be ten. The author also forgot to write Instructor Li’s identity, but seeing he’s not amongst the three sussy people, he should be a guard. as guards. A lot of them didn’t think there would be multiple assassins, so the consensus was there should be the assassin between the remaining three people: Anran, Li Xu’an, and Ning Ze. There were heated debates on who was the assassin, but no answer was reached.

The next day, at five o’clock in the morning–

Shen Xingsui was still asleep, but woke up rather unceremoniously.

The staff of the program group woke him up, “Suisui, wake up.”

The cameraman was still following behind. Shen Xingsui was bleary when he woke up. The cameraman wasn’t informed, so he was also confused, “What’s wrong?”

The director came over and said, “Because you and Fu-ge didn’t complete your extra mission yesterday, you will be punished this morning.”

Shen Xingsui couldn’t remember anything about the extra mission. So this must be bullshit the crew cooked. The director probably just wanted to spice things up. Since he was the winner yesterday, and therefore hadn’t clowned himself enough in front of the camera, he was the unlucky person who got this punishment.

The youth rubbed his eyes, and obediently asked, “What kind of punishment?”

“The task is to wake up every guest.”

Shen Xingsui was shocked, “By my own?”

The director nodded with a shit-eating grin, “Yes, and we have to go now. As for the way to wake them up, we opened a WeChat account last night and let the audience vote. And the mighty lord audience has spoken, the method for waking them up today is—”

Shen Xingsui saw that he stopped talking, and leaned over curiously, “What is it?

The director was showing off the screen of his phone. After getting closer, Shen Xingsui could fully see the words on the screen: [Give a good morning kiss to wake them up.]

“…”

The silence was deafening.

Shen Xingsui looked at the number of votes – 10 million. With clear doubts in his eyes, he asked, “Is this really what the audience wants to see the most?”

Netizens in the live broadcast room:

[Hahaha, don’t doubt the vote~]

[We really want to watch this!]

[I can’t wait, I can’t wait!!!]

Shen Xingsui felt his head was getting heavier, but the director was still urging him heartlessly, “Suisui, hurry up and start from the room closest to you.”

“Shen Xingchen?”

The director’s schadenfreude was clear, “Nope! It’s Fu-ge’s room~”

Shen Xingsui’s eyes widened, and he froze in place. Asking him to kiss his idol in the early morning for no reason?? Wouldn’t this kind of behavior be hated? Will he be beaten?

But the director happily sing-songed, “Suisui, Fu-ge is a bit grumpy in the morning. Prepare your mentality~”

Anyway, their program crew didn’t dare to call that Lord Yan2the King of Hell. Equivalent to Japanese mythos’ Lord Enma or Hindu mythos’ Lord Yama. to get up, so they could only use this method to wake him up. There was once a guest of a certain variety show who was punished for waking Actor Fu up, and the said actor only had a few hours of sleep. The guest met a tragic end, and the staff said that they had a psychological shadow afterward.

The director patted Shen Xingsui on the shoulder pitifully: “Come on, we are optimistic about you.”

Shen Xingsui: “…”

This was just sending lambs to slaughter!
