The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 151: Bizarre Foods

"I didn’t expect Julian’s memory to be this good," Brian Bennett praised.

Julian Caldwell smiled wryly and shook his head, "I think anyone who has tried this game wouldn’t easily forget it!"

"Yes, it’s the bizarre-tasting food game that once made you throw up on the spot."

James Wallace said, "It’s not just about throwing up on the spot. In fact, I couldn’t eat anything for three days after going back."

Brian Bennett chuckled, "Hahaha, that’s the charm of bizarre-tasting food!"

As Brian’s voice faded, Maya Monroe and other guests headed backstage, and the staff quickly started tidying up the stage.

Maya wasn’t busy touching up her makeup like the others. She asked Ryan Spencer, "How much do you know about that ’bizarre-tasting food’ game?"

Ryan Spencer thought she was scared, "...Don’t worry too much, it’s actually not a big deal. Each guest will participate in at most one round, just get through it."

Maya didn’t expect Ryan to completely misunderstand her, "I mean, is there really food you can eat in the game?"

"Huh?"

The stage opened once again, and Maya and the other guests appeared on stage.

Brian Bennett read the sponsor’s name into the microphone, then smiled and said, "Next, please look at the big screen. For those coming to ’Joy Without Limits’ for the first time, you do need to carefully understand the game rules."

"Guests who have played this game surely have some impressions. Yes, the ’bizarre-tasting food’ game involves tasting some unique dishes, and we’ve added a creative spin with the ’One-Two-Three Freeze’ gameplay."

"Guests playing the game can randomly pick a plate of unknown food, your goal is to finish the food on the plate in the shortest time possible! Meanwhile, I will turn my back to you, and every time I shout the ’One-Two-Three Freeze’ command, you must stop all actions, any violation will result in elimination. And the one who finishes their food first after the command will be the champion of this round of the game!"

"The game consists of five rounds, in each round the red and yellow teams can select a batch of guests to take on the challenge."

Brian Bennett looked at the guests with various expressions, "That’s the rule, does everyone understand?"

Maya withdrew her gaze from the big screen and replied along with the others.

Finally, this lousy show has a barely passable game.

There are five rounds in total, and in each round, each team needs to choose three guests to complete the challenge, among the six guests, the one who finishes the food first will be the champion, earning a point for their team.

What followed was a heated discussion.

After all, in the annoying mini-game ’bizarre-tasting food’, no one wants to participate.

Since those who can accept unique dishes from various places are scarce, most of the time guests finish in tears, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and end up with a bunch of ugly photos.

Voices of discord were faintly heard from the yellow team, seemingly no one wanted to take the stage.

The red team was no exception, almost no one volunteered to participate in this mini-game.

Maya was amazed, she thought a game involving food would be popular, but didn’t expect to have so few competitors.

Maya coughed and said, "I’ll go."

As soon as she spoke, everyone was stunned.

No one knew that ever since the show started, Maya had been goofing off with no desire to perform, they originally thought she’d slack off until the end, but who knew... she’s suddenly active now.

Quite a few guests recalled Maya’s ’glorious history’ of ’personal stage shows’, and couldn’t help but shiver.

So... Maya’s performance is just beginning? Next, she’ll be finding ways to steal the spotlight!

Everyone looked at Maya with complex expressions.

Leo Lancaster looked disapprovingly, "Maya, do you know how awful the food can be here? I’d better go."

Maya responded calmly, "Isn’t it three spots? Let’s go together, there’s no need to compete!"

As long as she has a spot, Maya doesn’t care about the others.

Leo didn’t expect Maya to think this way, a worried look appeared on his face.

Maya has been pampered since childhood, how could she endure such hardship, even if it’s ’the hardship of eating food.’

Leo instinctively wanted to persuade her like before, but with the audience and many cameras capturing their every move, it wasn’t appropriate at the moment...

"Maya, are you sure you want to participate? I don’t think this game suits you."

Leo said a few more words, but Maya seemed to be in an irrational daze, insisting to join this game.

In the end, Leo couldn’t help it, the first round confirmed the participants, the red team had Maya, Leo, and Liam Hayes joining.

Liam Hayes is a young rookie actor.

Bella Sanford finally asked Leo again, "Leo, are you really sure about participating?"

Leo’s status is high, if he really didn’t want to go no one could force him, after all, he doesn’t need such games to boost popularity.

Leo’s expression remained unchanged, "Hmm... I’ve already decided."

The yellow team also finalized the three guests participating in the game: Kiki Monroe, Jason Ford, Ian Brooks.

Brian Bennett stood in the center, "It seems our guests have been chosen, next please choose a plate, and don’t lift the covers yet."

Maya shed her lazy demeanor and stepped briskly, casually choosing the nearest plate.

Other guests hesitated for a moment, then selected a plate.

Leo chose the spot next to Maya without hesitation.

With the food right in front, Maya’s mood lifted significantly.

She casually teased, "Leo, why come over to suffer this?"

Maya remembered Leo wasn’t too keen on all foods.

Leo gave her a complex look, "Life needs many new experiences."

Maya casually nodded, her entire focus drawn to the plate before her.

What could it be?

"Looks like everyone has selected their food, it’s set now! Next, please open the plates before you—before doing so, I might want to remind everyone to control your volume..."

The moment the words fell came a retching sound.

Kiki Monroe opened her plate, revealing several pieces of moldy-gray fermented tofu.

Without the lid’s barrier, the indescribable stench spread quickly, and many guests uncomfortably covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves.

Kiki Monroe was near collapse, retching uncontrollably while tears streamed down her face.

A scream echoed not far away, as another guest received "fried centipede."
