Chapter 50: Chapter 45: The Talented Student Who Juggles Sixteen Boats Chapter 50: Chapter 45: The Talented Student Who Juggles Sixteen Boats Mu Mingxuan’s words momentarily tempted Huo Miao.
However, Huo Miao stopped Mu Mingxuan’s suggestion, biting her lip, “Mingxuan, don’t, don’t be like this. After leaving the Huo Family, Jiang Ning has no other source of income. Getting onto this show must have taken a lot of effort… My second brother already knows that Jiang Ning will be on the show, and it wouldn’t be right for you to do this.”
Mu Mingxuan sighed, “Miaomiao, you’re just too kindhearted.”
Mu Mingxuan suddenly thought of something. After Jiang Ning was discharged from the hospital last time, she pushed Miaomiao into the pool at the Huo Family Villa. He was out on a business trip then and hadn’t managed to settle the score with Jiang Ning.
Now that Jiang Ning had moved out of the Huo Family, if she wasn’t allowed to be on this show, who knew when he would see her next.
Mu Mingxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, hinting at his intentions, “Keeping her on the show works too. I haven’t had the chance to settle the score with her for pushing you into the water.”
Hearing that Mu Mingxuan wanted to avenge her, Huo Miao was of course delighted, but what she said was to advise Mu Mingxuan not to act rashly.
Mu Mingxuan vaguely agreed, but who knew what he was really thinking in his heart.
…
After the production team posted that adorable tweet, the nine guests who were tagged all shared it, and Jiang Ning was no exception.
Although Jiang Ning guessed Huo Miao might also be there while taking the promo photos, she still had to admire the production team’s knack for stirring things up when she actually saw Huo Miao’s promo image.
As for the boycott and negative comments about her from the netizens, Jiang Ning scanned them briefly then closed the comment section.
She shared the production team’s adorable tweet from her account, accompanied by three emojis: [Happy.jpg][Happy.jpg][Happy.jpg]
Post the current mood three times, lest this generation of netizens doesn’t realize how happy she is.
After posting, Jiang Ning ignored the rapidly increasing unread messages on her page and exited the app.
Jiang Ning might have disconnected from the internet, but other netizens hadn’t. More and more informed netizens were tagged and came to see the production team’s guest list, and the comment section exploded in an instant.
The production team’s staff even quietly counted: for every ten new comments, there would be five or six about Jiang Ning, all of them derogatory.
The assistant relayed the netizens’ comments to the producer Chen Yan, who raised an eyebrow, picked up his phone to look at the comments under the official Weibo post, and not only was there no hint of worry, he even laughed, “As expected, bringing Jiang Ning into the production was the right decision. In show business, it’s not bad to be discussed, it’s bad to be ignored.”
The assistant hesitated, “But when I look at the comments, they all seem to be boycotting Miss Jiang Ning.”
“So what? The more they boycott now, the more they will rush to watch once the show airs and become our first viewers,” Chen Yan wasn’t worried at all, “If they don’t watch the show, how would they continue to criticize Jiang Ning?”
Listening to this, the assistant felt that Chen Yan indeed made sense, nodded in agreement, and appeared to have learned something new.
The online attacks and slander did not affect Jiang Ning, for she hardly ever looked at the adorable tweets.
After posting the promo photos online, the production team also announced the shooting schedule.
Unlike the previous seasons, this time the production team planned to adopt a round-the-clock live streaming plus editing for broadcast mode for the show, with the guests arriving the weekend after next.
Jiang Ning checked the arrival date announced by the production team and then looked at the remaining days of her life. By the time she joined the show, she would have only fifteen days left to live, and the show was scheduled for a month’s filming.
She had to catch a few more criminals during these two weeks before joining the show.
Jiang Ning called out the System and checked the task information in the city on the task board.
Because she had registered as a sparring partner at the Martial Arts Gym, Jiang Ning did not plan to go far to catch criminals.
Jiang Ning randomly clicked on a local task.
Criminal’s photo: Photo.jpg
Criminal’s name: Lou Yuquan
Criminal’s age: 26
Criminal’s offense: Fraud
Criminal’s hiding area: Huping University graduate student dormitory building
[The host has one week to capture them, with a reward of 5 days of life, 50 Merit Points.]
Five days of life, 50 Merit Points?
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised by this multiplier and, before she could ask, the System had downloaded the criminal’s detailed account of the crime into Jiang Ning’s mind.
After being forced to watch the whole process, Jiang Ning: “…”
My eyes are burning!
A talented student from the distinguished Huping University, even a graduate student, and he manages to date sixteen girlfriends at the same time?
Even Brother Octopus doesn’t spread his legs that wide!
Scumbag! You’re the next one I’m going to catch!
Jiang Ning clicked to accept the mission.
After accepting the mission, Jiang Ning’s gaze still lingered on the System screen; she raised her hand and tapped to open the System Mall page.
After exchanging for those three System Backpack slots last time, Jiang Ning had 133 Merit Points left. These past few days, Jiang Ning checked the System Mall’s flash sale page every day to see if there was anything of interest.
The previous flash sale items were either too expensive for her to afford or were things she could buy but didn’t have an immediate use for. Jiang Ning’s eyes landed on the product page, and her expression turned serious when she saw a particular item.
Item 1: Doraemon’s Pocket
Manual: A magical pocket that can hold anything and has everything.
Price: 1,000,000 Merit Points
Item 2: Fully Automatic Miniature Surveillance
Manual: An obsolete technology product discarded by Kelo Star, convenient miniature surveillance with a cute Little Bear appearance, nano camera, waterproof, fireproof, shock-resistant, photovoltaic charging, 90% new…
Price: 30 Merit Points
Item 3: Dragon Tooth Fossil
Manual: A tooth dropped by a young dragon whelp during teething, turned into a fossil, but still emanating a remnant of dragon’s might, capable of scaring away many small animals.
Price: 100 Merit Points
Jiang Ning took a liking to the second item, the fully automatic miniature surveillance device, at first glance.
As she would be dealing with criminals more and more in the future, and not every case would be like before, with both eyewitness and physical evidence ready, she might need to collect evidence herself; having this fully automatic miniature surveillance device on hand meant being prepared for any situation.
Even though it was a 90% new second-hand item, its functionality seemed to be a bit more high-tech than the current technological level of the country Jiang Ning was in.
At least, Jiang Ning couldn’t buy a miniature surveillance device like this off the shelf. Even if she could acquire one through other illegal means, the quality wouldn’t be as good as this one.
Jiang Ning clicked to redeem it, and added the small and exquisite fully automatic miniature surveillance device to her possessions.
After a successful exchange, the fully automatic miniature surveillance device immediately appeared in Jiang Ning’s hand, looking like a cute Little Bear accessory that could be clipped onto her clothing like a brooch or hung on her bag.
Jiang Ning held it and checked it several times, and if she didn’t know it was a surveillance device, she wouldn’t have been able to
