Kung Fu Baby with 17 Doting Brothers-Chapter 528: Wen Li Unleashed

Wen Li personally took charge, without altering any of the existing clues inside the factory, but added a few tattered diaries and strange codes, turning the original graffiti by the factory employees into a treasure map.

To make the storyline plausible—at least not obvious as a show gimmick—he found a suitable reason for this treasure.

Initially, the food processing factory went bankrupt and owed wages to the employees, so the boss allowed the employees to take anything from the factory as their wages. However, this boss was quite cunning, having already packed away valuable items beforehand, leaving only the equipment and furniture that had been used for years and unsold stock.

A few employees saw through the boss’s cunning, and when he wasn’t paying attention, they took away some valuable items. With the boss’s promise, this wasn’t illegal, but if other employees found out, they might demand to sell the valuables and split the money. So, a few people buried the valuable items somewhere outside the factory, leaving marks and a map.

After cracking the secret of the graffiti using the codes and diaries, the big guests fell silent.

Zuo Jingxin awkwardly laughed and said, "It seems a bit far-fetched, but it makes sense."

The audience began to cringe.

[If this isn’t a trick by the production team, I’ll wash my hair upside down!]

[I’m embarrassed for the production team.]

[Who said there was no script before?]

[The guests’ reactions seem quite genuine, the scripted parts are the work of the director, not the guests.]

Qiu Yu became increasingly convinced that the production team had a script. If so, it’s likely the director tipped off Gu Miaomiao and her senior, which is why their group could find the pile of animal bones so quickly and gain the most attention.

Thinking of this, he cast a resentful glance at the director.

In terms of popularity, he was definitely the most famous among these guests. Back then, the director sought him out, cried woefully, and spoke sincerely, even promising him a lot of screen time to further boost his fame.

Now it seems, a man’s words are deceptive! Men’s tears can’t be trusted!

Unlike the adults’ reactions, the children’s eyes lit up one by one.

"Treasure! It’s treasure!"

Tuanzi raised his hand and cheered, "If we find it, is the treasure ours?"

Xu Shuo, who loved reading, was too excited to speak, continuously patting his brother to express his excitement.

The plot from the novel came true, how exciting!

Even Zuo Qiu, who was too shy to speak up, was looking forward to it.

Boss Xu had a bit of a headache.

He frankly asked Director Ming, "Director Ming, what’s going on here? Didn’t you say there was no script?"

Except for Tantai Yi, the other guests didn’t know about the last-minute change in plans for this episode.

Director Ming looked innocent, "There really isn’t a script. These clues are just what we found earlier, and we haven’t found out where the treasure is either."

Boss Xu didn’t quite believe it, but having already filmed for a day and a half, he couldn’t just drop it. The kids were so eager and excited, so he couldn’t disappoint them.

Everyone could only begin to deduce the graffiti in hand and the treasure hunt path.

Wen Li’s design wasn’t very complicated, but it couldn’t be solved immediately.

A group of guests scratched their heads over the graffiti, diaries, and so on.

Qiu Yu, who was concerned about interacting with the audience, pretended to make a troubled suggestion, "Can we seek help from the outside? Let us take a look at how the viewers are deducing it?"

His younger cousins cooperatively looked at the camera with a pitiful expression, "Can brothers and sisters help us analyze? We really can’t figure it out."

The audience had already been deducing along with them and had posted their analysis processes and conclusions. Only the staff could see the comments.

Off-camera, everyone was anxious and jumping around, but they couldn’t come through the screen to help.

After the atmosphere was built up enough, and quite some time had passed, the director finally ’reluctantly’ agreed for the guests to seek outside help and provided them with a tablet.

A bunch of heads clustered around the tablet, watching the viewers’ comments.

[Ah, ah, ah, the brother is looking at me, ah, ah, ah!]

[Miaomiao, my dear daughter, look at mom]

[What’s this, Baby Qiu, give a kiss! What’s this, Baby Miaomiao, give a kiss! This is...]

[Third Senior Brother, can you do a sword dance?]

The comments rushed in, but none of it was useful information. Just the thought of their favorite artists or kids being able to see their comments made everyone unable to control themselves.

Tuanzi glanced at Qiu Yu, who awkwardly rubbed his nose.

[Hey, hey, hey, everyone calm down, they’re here for help, what’s the use of you going ’ah ah ah’]

[Stop calling them baby every second, the kids will be scared silly]

After a few minutes, the audience finally calmed down, and the reasoning processes of a few people who had been actively deducing before finally appeared in the guests’ sight.

"This symbol indicates the southeast?"

Zuo Jingxin carefully looked at the analysis, "Makes a lot of sense, should we head southeast then?"

Everyone else thought a certain viewer’s analysis was very reasonable, left the factory, and headed southeast, getting further and further from the abandoned factory.

Other than Tantai Yi, the guests didn’t find out until much later that once they left the factory, they couldn’t return.

In the ensuing hours, the guests continuously interacted with viewers, selecting reliable analyses, and gradually moved away from the factory, getting closer to the treasure spot.

Director Ming nervously watched the real-time data, finding that viewership wasn’t decreasing but rather increasing, with the show’s popularity still exceeding expectations, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems the audience is also looking forward to the guests interacting with them."

Even when leaving the factory, gradually deviating from yesterday’s clues, the audience remained enthusiastic.

Having confirmed that he wasn’t crashing, Director Ming went to find Wen Li with a bag of oranges and tears to express his gratitude.

Wen Li hadn’t closed the tent and was sitting near the exit, tapping on the keyboard.

The tall director casually glanced over and found Wen Li was watching the live broadcast and commenting.

"...There are five stars on the dormitory wall graffiti, the fourth star is the least standard, and it just so happens there are five trees at the target location, with the fourth tree being the shortest, maybe it holds a clue..."

Wow! Is the question setter personally giving away the answer?

The director was completely stunned.

Another closer look revealed that Wen Li only commented when Tuanzi leaned close to the tablet, and the rest of the time was spent stretching his neck and shaking his hands, as if he had nothing to do with it.

It turns out the seemingly gentle and friendly acting director had two faces.

Director Ming put away his grateful tears, looked again at the oranges, and hesitated whether to leave.

At this moment, he heard the sound of fierce typing, quickly looked up, and found Wen Li was actually engaging in a comment war with someone.

He quickly took out his phone to check the live stream and found that some people said that Tuanzi was too eager to impress, hogging the limelight, unlike the obedient and sensible Qiu Kailuo siblings.

The following comments were.

[Do they not want to impress? No, it’s just they aren’t as smart as Miaomiao]

[Do they want to be obedient? No, it’s just someone gave them a fierce look]

[Do they want to be sensible? After being criticized so much, naturally, they don’t dare speak lightly]

[Is it Miaomiao’s fault? Yes, her fault is being too excellent, too cute and likable. It’s normal if you don’t like her]

Isn’t this indirectly saying these few commenters aren’t human?

Director Ming: (⊙o⊙)
