Chapter 54: 53. It turns out she is the beloved of the group.
Yun Province, an ancient village courtyard.
The four Office of Legal Affairs staff members who had been squatting in front of the LCD TV were staring at the screen with their mouths agape, utterly dumbfounded, their jaws nearly dislocated from shock.
Meanwhile, Xie Yunzhen, who was at the very front, was so startled that he fell from his stool onto the ground.
“Thud—”
“Ouch~~~ That hurts so much!”
The sudden exclamation shattered the silence that had enveloped the hall.
Everyone turned their heads and cast horrified glances at Tang Shu, who was sitting at the back.
Tang Shu’s gaze briefly swept over everyone, and she twitched the corners of her mouth.
“You guys…didn’t you want to watch the show?”
So, why are they looking at her?
Zhang Yunda swallowed hard and voiced the question on everyone’s mind.
“That…that was special effects just now, wasn’t it?!”
Right, it must be special effects!
Tang Shu’s background is somewhat significant, huh!
She even managed to persuade the “Journey Together” production team to fake it for her, all for the sake of the show’s effect!
Tang Shu raised an eyebrow, unusually at a loss for words.
At this moment, the low voice of Jing Yu sounded beside her, “It’s not special effects; it’s real.”
“Wha, what? It’s real?!”
This time, even the village chief and everyone else gasped in shock, their looks towards Tang Shu were beyond terrified.
“Consultant Tang, how on earth did you do that?!”
From nearly ten meters away, you drove a sharp tree branch into a small snake’s vital spot on the tree.
Precise strength, accurate judgment, both essential.
Meeting everyone’s incredulous gazes, Tang Shu calmly said, “I have a hobby of playing darts.”
She knew that in this world, throwing darts was fairly common and a hobby for some people.

Only, this “dart” was not that “dart” after all.
Upon hearing this explanation, people like Zhang Yunda quickly accepted it.
“So that’s the case, I never knew playing darts had this benefit? I must give it a try when I get back!”
“Cool! I think I’m starting to like playing darts too.”
Impressed, the crowd turned around and refocused their attention on the screen.
Tang Shu, without changing her expression, withdrew her gaze, only to feel a probing look on her from the side.
She turned her head and met a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, deep and dark.
***
The audience in front of the TV was dazzled by Tang Shu’s sudden skillful maneuver.
Originally, many people thought like Zhang Yunda that it was a stunt, but the photographer’s subsequent change in expression and Director Lin’s immediate arrival informed everyone that this was indeed an accident.
Interestingly enough, after Yin Dong led his team to evacuate the rest area, Director Lin specially left two photographers behind, who found two harmless green Bamboo Leaf Green Snakes nearby.
As soon as the close-ups of these two snakes were played on the screen, even Tang Shu herself was surprised.
It turned out that there was this scene, and the program team really did give it their all.
The netizens were even more generous with their praise.
[Holy crap, bowing down, there were really poisonous snakes?!]
[That’s too scary, no wonder even the program team didn’t notice them during the site check. If you don’t look closely, you really can’t find these little green creatures.]
[They’re practically chameleons, okay? Those Bamboo Leaf Green Snakes have blended in with the leaves.]
[Survival of the fittest, couldn’t be truer.]
[I have no doubts that if that snake hadn’t just hissed at the cameraman, Tang Shu wouldn’t have intervened.]
[Agreed with the person above, no wonder she was holding three or four sharp sticks in her hand, the thought of it is terrifying…]
[Does that mean there was another snake that the cameraman didn’t notice? Crap, I can’t bear to think about it anymore, this has to be a horror movie!]
[emmmm~~~ What kind of celestial star is this, are you sure she’s not a martial arts master or heir to some secret family clan or something???]
…
As the online comments went wild, new media professionals caught the scent of traffic and began to clip images and video fragments, creating and sending out copy.
At the same time, many viewers seemed to have discovered some surprise and started to share the show with friends and family on their phones.
Thus, many people squatting in front of the TV switched channels after receiving messages.
At that moment, on a screen behind the scenes of “Happy Together,” the green bar representing viewership was plummeting at an inconceivable rate.
Director Zhang’s face turned green!
“What’s happening, what’s going on?!”
Director Zhang had indeed prepared for a drop in viewership, but even if “Journey Together” was that good, it shouldn’t have caused such a result.
Too shocking!
This insane speed was completely beyond his expectations.
“Did we insert an ad? Didn’t I say that today’s ads should be postponed for a while?!”
At this time, the staff who had been confident about today’s success were hit hard, on the verge of tears.
“Director Zhang, we didn’t insert any ads—”
In fact, not only had the program not inserted ads, but it had also hit a comedic peak.
Heaven knows why the ratings dropped so fast. Did everyone’s power go out at once?
Of course… not.
This wasn’t the power outage-prone ’80s or ’90s, and even if you believe in aliens, it’s not possible for a nationwide blackout to occur.
However, this phenomenon was just the beginning.
The video continued to play, reaching lunchtime shortly thereafter.
The cameraman following Tang Shu and Geng Qiuqiu captured the fishing process in its entirety, with minimal editing in the video.
Because of this, a second highlight once again elicited cheers from the audience.
[Holy crap, there’s such a way to catch fish? Completely blew my mind!!!]
[Never would have imagined there’d be such silly fish in the world, was I fishing for loneliness before?]
[I’m speechless, does this person have a protagonist’s halo or what?]
[No, she’s a bug in the team!]
[Now I finally understand why the guests on “Journey Together” were collectively leaving messages on Tang Shu’s Weibo, she’s leading the whole team!]
[This star is pretty cool, not only does she bring along Zhang Yilin, but she can also lead others!]
[Not gonna lie, I thought Tang Shu would wield a big tree branch and spear a fish straight out of the water, I can practically see it in my head.]
[Never would have guessed she’d change her modus operandi!!!]
[Tang Shu’s fans have always been shouting “I haven’t made my move, and you’ve already fallen.” Now I finally understand what that means.]
[Tang Shu: I haven’t made my move, and you’ve already fallen.]
[Tang Shu: I haven’t made my move, and you’ve already fallen. +1]
[Crap, this phrase is so catchy!]
…
As time went on, the viewership rating of “Happy Together” had dropped below 3, and Director Zhang’s complexion could only be described as ashen.
Pan Yang wiped his face, his expression quite strange.
“This Tang Shu… is kinda freaky—”
