After the whole network was blacked out, I made the boss the canary

When it was her turn to present her answers, she saw the first four guests coming out of the answer room with frustrated looks on their faces, and then she looked at the director's increasingly smug expression.

With so many guests entering, it is impossible for every guest to change their minds at the last minute and give answers other than intangible cultural heritage, but so far no one has answered correctly.

Combined with Chen Shuo's understanding of the director, it can be almost 100% confirmed that the theme of this episode has nothing to do with intangible cultural heritage, or at least not very related.

Chen Shuo rolled his eyes, entered the answer room and gave a very pleasing answer:

"Treasure."

The staff inside was stunned and hesitated, not knowing whether to say right or wrong.

"Sorry, I'll discuss this with the director."

As soon as Chen Shu heard it, he knew it was a sure thing, and nodded in agreement with a smile.

The staff member took out his mobile phone to ask the director for his opinion.

The director outside heard this and laughed: "Hey, this thief is quite smart."

The director replied to the staff: "Let her go out first, and we will announce the answer together later."

The staff member relayed this sentence, and Chen Shuo raised his eyebrows, knowing that the director wanted to keep it in suspense again. He did not bother the staff member any more and turned and left.

The staff wiped his sweat and began to pray in his heart that the next person would not give such a tricky answer.

Obviously, the poor staff member's prayers did not work, because Gu Siyi and Zhou Yun followed closely behind.

After all, they are the male and female protagonists of this novel world, and their IQs in other aspects are still very high.

Gu Siyi and Zhou Yun could naturally think of the points that Chen Shuo could think of. Although the words they used in their answers were slightly different, the results they ultimately led to were similar.

The staff member was already numb and used his mobile phone to ask the director for his opinion three times in a row. His bonus was definitely in jeopardy this time.

Oh, and maybe a fourth time.

The staff member recited the lines weakly and asked Xixi, who came in last.

Xixi just thought he looked very strange, and without thinking too much, she gave her own answer:

"Boat!"

"Oh...Muzhou, let me ask the director for instructions." The staff member took out his mobile phone reflexively and reacted when he was unlocking the screen.

"Boat?! Are you sure the answer is a boat?!"

Xixi was a little frightened: "Right, right?"

The staff member looked particularly excited: "Congratulations! Wrong answer!"

As they spoke, the staff fired a salute, and confetti fell all over Xixi's head.

Rather than celebrating, oh no, comforting Xixi, it was more like celebrating the bonus that he had kept.

Xixi silently took a step back, away from the overly excited staff member. When she leaned against the door, she quickly turned around, opened the door and left. She did it in one go, fearing that if she was a little late she would be caught by some strange creature.

The others looked at Xixi's head full of confetti, and the scene was quiet for a moment. They all thought that her answer was correct.

This made Xixi, who was already frightened, even more scared.

Chen Shuo was the first to break the silence. "Xixi, you're the last one to go in anyway, so it won't be a problem for you to tell me the answer."

Xixi breathed a visibly relieved sigh and answered honestly:

"I said wooden boat, wrong answer."

Zhou Yun looked Xixi up and down: "You don't look like you gave a wrong answer."

Xixi looked very confused: "I...may be the last one to go in?"

Chen Shuo couldn't bear to watch any longer: "Okay, Xixi has said it all, what else do you want to ask, Zhou Yun?"

"You believe it?"

"Of course I believe Xixi won't lie, not to mention that the director will reveal the answer later."

Zhou Yun snorted lightly and stopped arguing.

Xixi looked at Chen Shu gratefully: "Thank you, Chen Shu! If it weren't for you, they would have thought I was lying."

Zhou Yun whispered again to confirm: "Did you really answer wrong?"

Xixi quickly raised four fingers to assure:

"I swear! What I said is true! If I lied, I will voluntarily give up the reward for this show!"

Chen Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't doubt you, there's no need to be so serious."

"Hehe~ This is too tense. The atmosphere has changed since everyone knew what the first prize is."

"What? You don't want to take first place?"

Xixi shook her head hurriedly:

"No, no! Of course I also want to get the interview qualification, I just... I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Everyone was so friendly before..."

"After all, it's a matter of personal interest. With such overwhelming wealth, it's easier to show one's true nature."

Xixi scratched her head embarrassedly: "You are right, but thank you for helping me just now, Chen Shu!"

"It's just a sentence, it's nothing. It's understandable that you want to take first place."

Xixi said solemnly:

"No, I still have to thank you! Thank you for not trying to drag me down and be targeted by everyone before the game even started, like Zhou Yun did, just for the reward."

Xixi added: "After this episode is over, no matter what the result is, I will invite you to dinner at the restaurant. I feel that it will suit your taste!"

Chen Shu smiled: "Okay~ Then I will refuse it disrespectfully!"

The gap that had been created by the competition disappeared again, and the two of them walked hand in hand and chatted together again.

After a while, the director took out the list, looked at Gu Siyi, Zhou Yun and Chen Shu meaningfully, and then spoke slowly:

"The theme this time is treasure hunting. Only three people answered correctly. I won't publish the names here. The staff will give them rewards privately later."

"I guess everyone is curious about what the reward is for answering the questions correctly. In order to prevent the questions from being leaked, they even set up a secret answer room and made such a big fuss about it."

"Those who answer correctly can freely choose when to change their identity, and the identities of everyone else are random."

"In this event, you may be assigned the roles of archaeologist, botanist, doctor and detective. Your skills will be marked on the identity card issued to you."

"Be careful not to let the people in this town find out that you are behaving differently from the information on your ID card, otherwise you will incur their revenge."

So this is an immersive large-scale script-killing game? Chen Shuo thought to himself.

The staff put the identity cards in a dark box and asked the guests to draw them in the order of their answers.

Gu Siyi was the first to show the card he drew:

"I'm an archaeologist. If you come across something that needs archaeological decryption, please tell me and I can share clues to the treasure."

Zhou Yun followed closely behind:

"I'm a botanist. Similarly, if you have any clues related to plants, you can come to me. I'm also willing to share clues."

I have to say, this move was brilliant.

Actively disclosing identity information can not only shorten the time spent on finding clues, but also greatly reduce the suspicion that they have given the correct answer.

Moreover, you can quickly find out the ID cards of other people and screen out those who answered correctly later.
