The Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Return to the Rich Family (Translated)

Chapter 63

Chapter 63

Seeing another dead end ahead, Chen Mantou wailed, "Why is this damn maze so huge! Does the production team really not care about the money? Don't they worry about losing money later?"

Due to today's filming, the production team had confiscated all guests' phones the day before, worried that phones would affect their filming.

Although Chen Mantou knew the teaser had aired last night, he wasn't aware of the exact effects. Otherwise, he might not have worried about the production team losing money. Given the teaser's current popularity, as long as the production team filmed and produced well, it would be challenging for the show's ratings to flop.

Yu Qiao Qiao, holding Ye Nuan's hand, gave Chen Mantou a disdainful look, "You don't need to worry about the production budget. Worry about yourself instead. Who knows when we'll get out of here!"

In the observation room, there were several screens showing live footage of the maze. The largest screen displayed footage of Chen Mantou's team in the maze.

The chubby director, enjoying the drama, instructed the staff, "Have the quiz staff set up a quiz challenge on the path they're about to take."

Disaster struck when the quiz staff suddenly appeared before them. Chen Mantou smiled, but inwardly, he was already politely cursing the director. He knew that no staff had been present on this path earlier.

It was clear that the production team was deliberately targeting them! These shameless reality TV producers, willing to go to any lengths for ratings, were beyond contempt!

Fortunately, the production team had prepared three questions related to each participant's field of expertise.

Each of Chen Mantou's team members answered one question correctly, and they were relieved to know that this would reduce their total maze time by three minutes.

In the observation room, besides the chubby director and some staff, there was also Professor Dong Cheng from Qingda Surveying and Mapping Engineering College. The production team had used many of his suggestions for this episode's props.

Professor Dong, with his shiny bald head and soft beer belly, leaned back in his chair.

He said kindly, "Director, can you enlarge the screen showing the team in the lower left corner?"

The director had no objections and projected Lu Yao's team's footage onto the largest screen.

As someone who had been involved in building the maze, Professor Dong could easily gauge their progress by observing Lu Yao and Jiang Bai's current location.

Professor Dong smiled, "Director, do you remember our estimated shortest time for the maze exit?"

The chubby director replied without hesitation, "Fifty minutes. It's only been fourteen minutes since they entered, right?"

Professor Dong's eyes twinkled as he said, "If you don't add any more obstacles, they might be out in another ten minutes or so."

The chubby director's eyes widened in shock, "Ten—ten minutes?!!"

This couldn't be! They'd have no footage to edit! It would be a disaster for the show!

The chubby director, not giving up, asked, "Professor Dong, are you sure you're not joking?"

Professor Dong pointed to Lu Yao on the screen.

"That guy is sharp. He really remembered the entire maze model and reconstructed it in 3D in his mind. Look at the path they're taking; it matches exactly with the shortest route I provided."
