Chapter 205 Lighthouse: Shooting yourself in the foot
Under Su Bai's attention, viewers soon began to send him the latest list rules released by the program team on the barrage.
[It is said that the official list of program groups will be released in three days, and scoring details will be added!]
[At that time, we will be able to see the specific reasons for the judges’ ratings! Instead of just a few vague comments!]
[This is great! Ranking on the list no longer depends on what the judges say, we can supervise the judges!]
[Grandma’s! I want to see what the scoring criteria are that can make Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing rank seventh!]
[To be honest, all the live broadcast rooms below are down. Although they have encountered more troubles than other groups, their progress and survival status are definitely one of the best among all groups. 】
[Even if they don’t get the first place, they are still in the top three. The most important thing is that their ranking cannot be lower than Li Jixian! 】
[Grandma, Li Jixian’s grandson does have enough to eat and drink, but that’s all. I really don’t understand how he can get first place. The more I think about it, the more I think it’s a shady story!]
Seeing the excited barrage, Su Bai nodded thoughtfully and said with a slight smile:
"This is good news. It seems that the program team is not monolithic, nor is it a monolithic one in Bangzi Country."
Barrage:
[That must not be the case! I heard from the gossip that the director of this program group is from China!]
[What!? The director is actually from my country, China? It seems that my country, China, gained a big advantage in the early stage of the struggle before the filming of the show!]
[That’s not necessarily true...Politics is the art of compromise.]
[I don’t know what kind of compromises and concessions China has made for the position of director...]
…
There was a knock on the door of the Finance Minister's office.
The head of the evaluation committee walked in with a sad look on his face, holding a document.
"This is the new grading standard."
The Finance Minister took it, glanced at it twice, frowned more and more, and asked:
"According to this standard, how do Li Jixian and Su Bai rank?"
The head of the judging panel sighed and said:
"The room for human intervention has been greatly reduced. Su Bai is definitely in the top three. No matter how hard he suppresses, he can't fall out of this range."
"Even if the judges are left to their own devices, this Su Bai is likely to be ranked at the top of the list continuously."
"Especially after he completed this aqueduct and paddy fields."
"As for Li Jixian, he should be hovering around fifth place."
After saying this, an eerie silence fell in the office.
The gap is too big, and we can't do anything about it, which is disappointing...
From this point of view... this plan to force Su Bai to withdraw from the competition is probably going to be aborted?
After a long, long time, the head of the judging department slapped his thigh hard and cursed in a low voice:
"Damn it! Director Chen is so in the way!"
"If you ask me, we should have taken down the position of director at all costs!"
"We clearly had hopes of getting the director position! Why on earth would we suddenly give up such a crucial position as director and let a Chinese national become the director?"
The Minister of Finance took out a cigar and took a deep breath. A look of loneliness flashed across his face.
At that time, it was him who should have been sitting in the position of director, representing the Lighthouse Country!
But politics is an art of compromise.
For another thing, Lighthouse had to let China get the position of director.
"Why exactly? We gave up the position of director, and what did we get?" The head of the judging department looked puzzled and looked for an answer from the ally who represented the lighthouse in front of him.
The Minister of Finance sighed and said:
"As of now, I won't hide it from you anymore."
"At that time, we discovered that there was a wealthy businessman family named Su in China who spent 20 million to seek a backdoor opportunity..."
The head of the judging department was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, his eyes widened little by little, and he murmured:
"Surname Su???"
"No...it can't be..."
"No...impossible???"
The Minister of Finance closed his eyes and nodded sadly:
"Yes, this opportunity is very rare, so we pushed it from behind."
"Let those two losers come in through the back door and join the team of the Kingdom of China."
"If not, a mere 20 million people is nothing compared to a territory of 30,000 square kilometers."
"Just to add two losers to their team, we had to compromise and give up the position of director..."
"This game... on the surface, our lighthouse has made a lot of money. After all, survival in the wilderness has to be implemented by people."
"With two pig teammates here, if China wants to win the final victory, it will increase a lot of difficulty out of thin air."
"China was extremely reluctant at the time."
"only……"
When the Minister of Finance said this, he let out a long sigh.
"???" The head of the judging department felt like he was going to vomit.
He held on to his last glimmer of hope and asked in a trembling voice:
"The people who were pushed in through the back door at that time should be the fourth group of people from China, Wang Bang Bang and Luo Xun'er who were eliminated earlier, right???"
"It must be them, right???"
"Right, right?"
The Minister of Finance took another long puff of cigar and said sadly:
"No, it's Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing!"
Director of the Jury Department: "..."
What kind of devilish operation is this???
Give Shenzhou two pig teammates and hope that Shenzhou will be in chaos.
As a result, Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing, who had been stuffed in, were hoisted up and given a blast???
On the other hand, you have to rack your brains to kick Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing out?
Seeing that the operation of kicking him out is about to fail, will the two "pig teammates" Su Bai and Zhao Xinqing continue to blast him next???
"There is an old saying in China..."
"It's called shooting yourself in the foot..."
There is another sentence that the director of the evaluation department from Fuso Country did not say:
"In recent times...Lighthouse has done a lot of things like this on the world stage..."
After pondering for a long time, the head of the evaluation department asked:
"Now, what should we do?"
"Is it... just watching Su Bai become so big?"
"With the existence of such a person, we may encounter great resistance in the second round in the future."
The Minister of Finance, who represented the will of Lighthouse, narrowed his eyes, snorted lightly, and said:
"Although Director Chen did have the upper hand in this confrontation."
"But we definitely have no other options."
"The best opportunity right now is the bet between Li Jixian and Su Bai."
"Go, let Li Ji come first before his father."
…
With Zhao Xinqing in his arms, Su Bai waited until eight o'clock in the evening, and the list for that day was finally updated again.
The barrage quickly became active in his live broadcast room:
[Su Bai! Your ranking has risen! 】
[Haha, although the scoring details of the list will not be announced until three days later, the judges of the program team obviously no longer dare to mess around. 】
[These three days are probably a buffer period for the program team to adjust themselves, right? In this way, Su Bai's ranking will slowly rise after three days, and even if he returns to the first place, the program team will not be particularly embarrassed.]
Su Bai looked at the barrage, raised his eyebrows and asked:
