FWTS Chapter 142: Trouble-Makers + Black Holes (Part 2)

Three minutes later, Huazai was beaming with joy, holding three "Auspicious Coins" and hooking his arm around Hou Muyun's shoulder: "My daughter was right, you're incredibly versatile and amazing."

Hou Muyun modestly replied, "It's all thanks to Teacher Huashao letting me win."

Huashao, who was sulking nearby, cursed inwardly, "Who the heck let you win?!"

"Let's go, let's find the next quizmaster!" Huazai dragged Hou Muyun along quickly to avoid Huashao and Han Dong trying to take their "Auspicious Coins" back. He muttered, "We'll definitely have a good lunch today."

Huazai was known as the "game black hole" on the show, so this was a rare turnaround for him.

Soon, they found another quizmaster, and Guo Tianwang and Xiaozhi were already there. This quizmaster's task was for the MCs to complete specific dance moves.

Huazai was thrilled: "Xiaohou, let's go challenge them. Both of them can dance, especially Guo Tianwang. He'll definitely underestimate us, and then we'll..."

Hou Muyun was speechless: "Brother, I really can't dance!"

"You can't?"

Huazai struck a pose commonly seen in traditional Chinese opera: "Then leave it to me this time! Watch me crush them!"

Hou Muyun watched Huazai's exaggerated movements and couldn't help but find it hilarious.

Huazai said seriously, "How about this? Just one appearance is enough to floor the King of Asian Dance."

With a kick and a dramatic opera step, he went forward.

Hou Muyun couldn't hold it in any longer and burst out laughing.

The result, of course, was that they didn't complete the task. However, Huazai's dancing was absolutely hilarious, providing plenty of material and meme-worthy moments.

Of course, Huazai didn't actually compete against Guo Tianwang and Xiaozhi.

Next, Hou Muyun and Huazai found two more quizmasters. The tasks were pitching arrows into a pot and finding candy in a plate of flour with their mouths. Both tasks were completed smoothly.

These two games provided plenty of material and humorous moments.

Now they had five "Auspicious Coins."

The last quizmaster was a burly, muscular man. Despite the winter weather, he was wearing only a tank top, showing off his rock-hard muscles, which was quite intimidating.

Huazai hid behind Hou Muyun, not daring to get closer: "Does this mean we have to do some chest-crushing feat? Xiaohou, maybe we should leave. Five coins are enough."

Despite his words, they had to go ahead with the filming.

The muscular man, in a deep voice, told Hou Muyun and Huazai that they needed to perform three fitness moves with him. Completing them would earn them an "Auspicious Coin." He demonstrated the three moves: single-leg squats, tree-assisted handstands, and one-handed push-ups.

Seeing this, Huazai wanted to cry again: "This task is obviously set for Han Dong. I can only do the first one."

Hou Muyun patted his chest: "That's why I'm here."

Huazai squeezed Hou Muyun's arm: "Looks like you've been working out. That's good. If we get this coin, we'll have six, which is like getting them all."

Hou Muyun: "That's not enough."

Huazai: "You're not planning to mess with Huashao's team again, are you?"

Hou Muyun smiled: "I can't just target Huashao alone!"

Huazai was puzzled.

Hou Muyun walked over to the muscular man and asked, "Brother, can I ask if the other two groups haven't come yet?"

The muscular man nodded.

Hou Muyun asked again, "So you have three 'Auspicious Coins' with you?"

The muscular man nodded again.

Hou Muyun proposed: "If I complete these three moves, and then perform another move that you can't do, can I get all three coins? It will definitely be a fitness move."

The muscular man looked a bit puzzled, glanced at the filming director, and after getting a nod, said, "Okay, but you can't cheat or use any tricks."

"Of course not."

Hou Muyun quickly completed the three moves assigned by the quizmaster, then warmed up his body and found a suitably sized tree.

He bent sideways, placing one hand on the tree trunk and the other above it. Then, using his waist strength, he lifted his body, and his legs slowly left the ground, eventually becoming parallel to the ground.

Hou Muyun performed one of the five legendary street workout moves, the human flag, and he did it with a slow rise. He had considered adding a moonwalk, but after seeing the muscular man's expression, he decided against it.

Participating in a reality show, Hou Muyun naturally wanted to make a good impression. Many people had seen his fitness livestreams, so there was no need to hold back too much. The show would be edited, and the screen time each participant got would be limited, so it was important to leave a good impression on the audience.

Hou Muyun wasn't worried about becoming too popular. After all, that would only mean more points for him!

The muscular man was left stunned, his mouth wide open in disbelief. The production crew felt the same, and the cameraman following Hou Muyun, experienced as he was, had to work hard to keep the camera steady.

Huazai’s expression was priceless. Although his mouth wasn't open, he swallowed hard several times.

...

About ten minutes later, the remaining two teams of MCs found the muscular quizmaster.

The muscular man, looking serious, said, "If you complete the next task, you'll get an 'Auspicious Coin!'"

He then lifted a huge stone, weighing at least a hundred pounds, above his head.

Guo Tianwang: "..."

Xiaozhi: "..."

Huashao: "..."

Han Dong: "..."

"Brother, do you really have to do this?"

"Director, are you crazy? Who can do this? Are you intentionally trying to stop us from getting the 'Auspicious Coin?'"

The muscular man looked aggrieved, thinking, "I had three coins, but they were all taken away. What else could I do? I had to find a way to impress you!"

The production crew found it hard to contain their laughter and tears. It wasn't that there were no backup coins, but this made for better entertainment.

The three teams of MCs gathered at a restaurant in the scenic area for the lunch shoot.

The dishes had to be auctioned off using the "Auspicious Coins," with the highest bidder winning.

The first dish was a luxurious Eight Treasures Mountain Chicken. Made with eight kinds of mountain delicacies and the local specialty mountain chicken, its aroma alone was mouth-watering.

Huashao's team: "One coin."

Guo Tianwang's team: "Two coins!"

Huashao's team: "Three coins!"

Guo Tianwang's team: "Four coins!"

Huazai, usually the "game black hole," felt triumphant. Laughing heartily, he slammed the table and confidently raised eight fingers: "Five coins!"

The others knew how Huazai's team got their eight coins. Huashao, with a mischievous glint, pretended to look at Huazai with disdain, showing six fingers and shaking them.

Huazai, full of swagger, "coldly" laughed: "Dare to challenge us? Seven coins!"

Hou Muyun tried to stop him: "Brother, they only have three coins in one team and four in the other! You've been tricked!"

Huazai was stunned: "But Huashao just bid six coins."

Huashao laughed loudly: "I didn't say anything! I was just showing my respect, giving you a 666!"

Huazai quickly corrected himself: "Then I only bid five coins! I misspoke earlier!"

The production crew, of course, wouldn't let this golden moment slip by.

The four MCs laughed heartily.

All the hard work felt like it was for nothing, with eight coins being reduced to the same level as the three and four coins the other teams had!
