Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 200 - Only Two Points?!

Chapter 200: Chapter 200 Only Two Points?!

Mr. Shang dismissed the thought of turning around and walking away.

The PD had already come over, and with the camera rolling, walking away right now would definitely raise suspicion.

It’s better to avoid trouble than to seek it.

With that thought, Mr. Shang then asked naturally,

“So, do you have Task Points here?”

Zhao Lang could clearly see through Mr. Shang’s intention.

So he proceeded with his own plan, “Task Points? You mean this?”

He pulled out two Task Cards from his basket.

Mr. Shang’s eyebrows twitched.

So there really was a task here.

That was perfect, he thought, staying here to observe wouldn’t seem too abrupt.

After all, he was seriously suspecting that this man in front of him might be the one he was looking for.

“Yes, that’s it.” Mr. Shang nodded.

Zhao Lang took back his hand and hoisted the basket on his back again.

“Well then, come with me inside.”

After entering the small courtyard, Zhao Lang dropped the basket on the ground.

Immediately, a basketful of branches and wood spilled out.

Zhao Lang exhaled, patting his hands.

“I have two tasks here, one of which is chopping wood. What do you think, Mr. Shang, can you do it?”

Mr. Shang let out a scoff and rolled up his sleeves, “Isn’t it just chopping wood?”

He took the axe from Zhao Lang’s hand and started splitting the firewood on the stump.

[Wow, President Shang’s physique is really great, all muscles on his arms.]

[Ahh, I’m swooning! Why are all the men on this show so handsome?]

[Ah? Do you all like Mr. Shang this much? Am I the only one who likes Daniu? He looks like the gentlemanly type you see in comic books, standing next to Mr. Shang, his temperament just outshines him completely.]

[!!! I think so too! I prefer Daniu’s fresh and clean vibe, and Daniu’s face is really delicate, okay? It looks like he was sculpted.]

[You guys probably don’t know, but Daniu is the true definition of ‘skinny clothes, fit body.’ When he was helping Jiang Li chop willow branches, I saw the muscle lines on his arms, incredibly sexy.]

Director Sun, watching the rising level of discussion about the topic in the live broadcast, grinned from ear to ear.

It was indeed a good decision to give Zhao Lang more screen time.

Girls these days love this kind of guy.

Not to mention it was worth the effort he put into placing two Task Points on him.

This way, Zhao Lang had almost an entire day’s worth of camera time.

–

Inside the courtyard.

Mr. Shang was gradually starting to feel overwhelmed.

Chopping wood seemed like an easy task, but for someone who wasn’t used to it, doing a lot was like a slow torture.

He didn’t know how to use his strength wisely, and the vibration of the clumsy axe made his palms sore and raw.

Before long, Mr. Shang began to sweat profusely.

Thoughts of why he left his comfortable office to suffer on this show started to creep into his mind.

But due to the camera, he couldn’t show his discomfort and had to keep his head down and continue working.

Finally, he saw the bottom of the basket of wood, only for Zhao Lang to mysteriously appear once more at his side, dumping another basket of fresh wood at his feet.

“Mr. Shang, don’t forget about these too.”

Mr. Shang’s face darkened immediately.

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

Zhao Lang instantly put on an innocent face, “Why would you say that, Mr. Shang? Isn’t this the task you requested to do? It was also very clear in the rules Director Sun gave me – the task is only complete once you’ve chopped three baskets of wood and have the executor’s approval.”

“You—”

“Why is Shang Shaojing so fierce all of a sudden, he just turned so stone-faced, gave me a start.”

“Exactly, if you can’t chop wood, don’t pretend to be strong. He just said it was easy, and now he’s throwing a hissy fit, so speechless.”

“A moment of sympathy for Daniu, it’s bad enough that he’s arranged to do this by the program team, and now he has to suffer this president’s temper.”

“President Shang, stay away from my Brother Daniu! Don’t come and torment him!!!”

In the live streaming room, the audience began to criticize the suddenly stone-faced Shang Shaojing.

Shang Shaojing himself was also aware of the severity of public opinion, thus he didn’t continue to question Zhao Lang and had to accept his lot and continue chopping wood.

From the moment he entered, he had been observing this man.

But he didn’t seem to have a hint of anything suspicious.

In the nearly half-hour, he first fed the chickens, then filled a vat with water, and finally dragged out a stool and tapped away on it.

He was the very picture of a bona fide rural resident’s pattern of activities.

Could he have been wrong?

Was this man named Zhao Lang just a countryside person with slightly better physical attributes, but an utterly ordinary identity?

Finally, after another hour, Shang Shaojing had chopped all the firewood.

When he, exhausted, walked up to Zhao Lang who was sitting under the eaves drinking tea and extended his hand, the other party instead looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shang Shaojing sneered, “What’s wrong? The wood is all chopped, where’s my good score?”

“Oh, that,” Zhao Lang seemed to realize belatedly, “Here, for you.”

Looking at the card in his palm that read “two points,” Shang Shaojing’s face turned green.

“Only two points?!”

“What else?” Zhao Lang stretched his legs, his demeanor calm and collected as he replied, “This is the card Director Sun gave me. And besides, you didn’t ask me how many points I had.”

Shang Shaojing’s face turned even greener.

With no recourse, he could only clutch the card in his hand tightly, glare intensely at the man in front of him, then turn around and leave.

The moment his figure disappeared at the door, the gentle light in Zhao Lang’s eyes gradually receded, replaced by a deep and meaningful darkness.

It seemed he had hooked an impatient little fish.

Shang family, Shang Shaojing.

Heh, when it comes down to it, he was actually his cousin once removed.

He pondered, what kind of hospitality should he offer this distant cousin?

After withdrawing his gaze, Zhao Lang stood up and went upstairs, leaning over the railing.

Watching that small white dot appearing and disappearing in his line of sight, the corners of his lips lifted slightly.

Then he raised his fingertip and tapped the railing in front of him.

The figure in white before the door stirred.

Zhao Lang chuckled, “Miss Jiang has also developed the habit of peeping, has she?”

Behind the tree, the white figure swayed and finally stepped out.

It was Jiang Li.

She looked up to meet Zhao Lang’s amused gaze and forced a laugh in response.

“I didn’t know when Mr. Zhao developed the habit of toying with others and pretending to be innocent?”

Zhao Lang opened his mouth, uttering an “ah.”

“You heard everything?”

Jiang Li nodded once, then pushed open the gate and walked in.

“I passed by three times, just in time to hear it all.”

The first time was right after she had found the Task Card for Wen Jiaojiao and was about to head to the next Task Point herself when she saw Shang Shaojing sneakily following Zhao Lang.

She wanted to speak up and warn him, but it turned out he had already noticed.

Seeing that all was well, she simply went on her way.

After all, she didn’t have the hobby of prying into the secrets of others.

The second time she happened to pass by was right after she completed a task and was about to look elsewhere, she passed by the cabin and overheard Shang Shaojing’s questioning and Zhao Lang’s feigned innocence.

She scoffed in front of the door at this man’s hypocrisy, then left.
