Retired Villainess Transmigrates into a Cannon Fodder

Golden Agent of the Adonis (61)

When the recording started, the program team directly divided them into two groups for the competition. This required both unity and the will to win. It was the easiest way for everyone to mingle and it was also the best method to cover up Fang Zhenxuan’s unfamiliarity in the program.

Fang Zhenxuan was very athletic as he quickly became the main force of their team when he climbed the hill to grab the flag. When he was entangled by someone from the other team, he neither rushed to break free nor did he show weakness and admit defeat. Instead, he played a trick on his opponent. With a move, he successfully threw the flag to his teammates before hugging the person who entangled him with his backhand, successfully turning the situation around.

He had a sunny and handsome smile on his face, which made others feel very affectionate. Plus, he was very good at playing games. A small plot twist like this managed to secure him a good amount of screentime and contribution towards the victory of his team.

The program team and the other five MCs were observing him as a newcomer, automatically conditioned to look for ways to cooperate with him and figure out what position he should take. Unexpectedly, he was very open-minded and was not restrained at all. The five MCs also respected him for his skills and used all the tricks and mind games they had at their disposal in order to secure a win. Even though the competition was fierce, it was clear that there wasn’t the slightest intention to ‘bully the newcomer’ at all.

However, Fang Zhenxuan was not an easy target as he made sure to not fall into any of their cunning tricks. In the end, he rushed to the finish line with his long legs and obtained victory for his team!

Later, the tug-of-war in the water was his highlighted moment. Sometimes, the scenario of a man getting drenched from head to toe evoked more temptation than anything else. Fang Zhenxuan walked slowly to  his designated spot with his legs threading through the water, and when he casually brushed his hair with his fingers, it became a charming scene.

Chu Xiang heard the scream of a girl right after that, so she turned her head and found that it was the voice of another artist’s fan.

When recording a variety show, if it was not strictly kept secret, or if it was not stated that outsiders were not allowed to attend, there would usually be some fans who frequented the shooting location. Fang Zhenxuan was a newcomer and he still didn’t have fans who were willing to pursue him all the way to his filming locations. To be fair, his fans might not even know that he was already starting to record the program. Those who actually showed up at the venue were the fans of the other 5 MC’s.

During the previous competitions, the fans on the sidelines would always shout and scream for their favorite artists, conveying their support. Only when the program group asked them to be quiet would they remain silent and wave excitedly. Now that all the MCs were in the water, the fans were definitely a lot happier, even though the reason for their loud exclamations were due to Fang Zhenxuan’s visuals.

Sure enough, a handsome face was sometimes enough to win the world. The moment a good-looking artist flaunted their appearances for even a small moment, there was bound to be wall-climbers(2) showing up at every second.

(T/N: Refers to fans who decide not to stay behind their favorite artist’s ‘walls’ and for whatever reason, climb the wall separating their fandom from the others. It means that this fan is either likely or is already a fan of another artist as well)

The fans’ cameras and devices were all confiscated, but they would be returned to them after the shooting was finished. When Chu Xiang went to the bathroom, she heard two girls regret not being able to take a photo of Fang Zhenxuan being soaked in water.

She wondered amusedly— could she let Fang Zhenxuan take advantage of his beauty to attack the hearts of others in the future? Obviously, they could rely on his appearance to make a living, but they were using their abilities and skills instead. However, after showing off his extraordinary skills early on, she guessed that there would be an influx of new fans flooding in very soon.

The filming of Extreme Mode’s first episode went smoothly. Although the amount of physical activity was very high, this was one of the only ways to make the show interesting with his addition in order to make it enjoyable for the audience.

Plus, this program team was very conscientious. Accompanied by medical staff, every game was given great attention to the safety of artists. Besides the small bump-ins with other contestants throughout the entire competition, there were practically no chances of them getting hurt any other way.

As soon as the recording ended, Fang Zhenxuan proposed to invite the other MCs to dinner. Nevertheless, the captain proclaimed that it should be their treat and they should be the one inviting him for a meal. With that, they dragged the newbie along to have some good food. It was very important to have connections and hangouts like these. Chu Xiang didn’t go with him as she went shopping. As soon as Yin Tong heard that Chu Xiang’s artist’s shoot was held in Hainan, she asked her bestie to go shopping in a duty-free shop there and then!
