Day 1 of the game ended quickly, and the production team conducted an indoor interview focusing on the children.
The first few questions were normal, asking whether they preferred their dad or mom at home, and which kid they liked best here.
When it came to Little Fatty, they asked an additional question: "Why were you so intense during the game?"
Everyone expected Little Fatty to say something dramatic, but he responded with a pitiful: "I'm hungry."
Upon hearing this, the bullet screen comments froze for a few seconds, then exploded.
"I really feel bad for him. You can tell from Little Fatty's build that he loves food. Shen Qingqing just ate a cucumber herself, which might be fine for an adult, but how can a child endure that?"
"No wonder tomorrow's reward is a day's worth of food."
"He just wanted to eat his fill, what's wrong with that?"
"I'm so done with Shen Qingqing and Lu Zheng. If you can't take care of children, don't bring them! The kids are suffering and being tormented with you."
"When Little Fatty first arrived, he was an extrovert, lively and cheerful. Now, after just over a day, he's become timid and withdrawn."
"This proves that even kids are afraid of being psychologically manipulated."
"It's suffocating. Can't they change the temporary guardian for the child? If this continues, I'm really going to report it."
Even the recording PD felt sympathy and gave Little Fatty one of his own boxed meals.
Although this wasn't allowed, who could bear to let a child go hungry?
The boxed meal had already cooled down.
The braised pork was a bit tough.
But Little Fatty ate it with gusto, taking big bites.
When it came time to interview He Lingfeng, everyone recalled his incredible speed and accuracy in solving problems.
No wonder he could teach middle and high school students; he really had skills.
Now, even a university admissions director had taken notice of him.
It seems the next step is to see who can snatch him up.
"The annual battle for talents among universities is always my favorite spectacle to watch. But I never imagined it would extend to a 6-year-old child this time."
"What's wrong with being 6? After evaluation, this is a true prodigy."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe it?"
"And his problem-solving approach is really correct. To be able to answer so quickly in such a short time, I'm tired of praising him."
The Chinese people's inherent admiration for excellence was on full display at this moment.
When Mu Zhixing came out, the production crew asked: "What did you draw in the mountains?"
The netizens immediately got excited; this was exactly what they wanted to know.
The cameras hadn't captured it at the time.
Mu Zhixing shyly took out her little notebook.
As the host flipped through it, others looked through the camera, and everyone was stunned.
"Is Mu Zhixing some kind of reincarnated printer?"
Although she had only used a ballpoint pen to draw, the pictures were incredibly lifelike.
Even the serrated edges of the grass leaves and insect holes were drawn perfectly.
Some plant experts could even identify the grass species based on this drawing, providing a detailed explanation in the bullet screen comments.
"This could totally be used as an illustration in textbooks."
"To think it was drawn on the spot, no wonder she can hold art exhibitions abroad."
"Princess, your servant has arrived late. This is my long-lost art princess."
"Every time I see her draw, I'm amazed at the disparities in this world."
When Zhou Junyan came out and shyly said that all five children liked Mu Zhixing best and wanted to marry her, the netizens went wild.
"I ship it! I ship it!"
The little guy looked just like the Zhou superstar, with a cool face, but when talking about Mu Zhixing, he became a bit shy.
"I really want to ship them, but I can't help but tell him that Mu Zhixing already has a very impressive childhood sweetheart."
"Hahaha."
"Who would have thought we'd get to ship little sister and little brother romance on a variety show?"
Day 1 of the live broadcast ended.
The guests thought they would get their phones back once the live broadcast was over.
These days, people's dependence on phones makes it nearly impossible to accept being without them for more than 24 hours.
But the production team refused to return them, saying it was written in the rules that they must stay for the full 5 days.
On one hand, it was indeed written in the contract.
On the other hand, the online uproar had become too intense, and they were worried that Lu Zheng, the problematic father, would cause more trouble.
Although the kid-focused variety show had some popularity before, it was generally moderate.
Even on the Apple official website, the entry was small and hard to find.
It required detailed searching to locate.
But after the incident of Lu Zheng hitting someone in front of the camera, it suddenly became a hot topic. It had been years since a guest on a show had hit someone.
Then there was the issue of Little Fatty going hungry.
Shen Qingqing rolled her eyes; these topics were already trending online.
The criticism was overwhelming.
All the guests' phones were ringing.
Especially Lu Zheng's.
His family's company wanted to contact him, hoping he could behave better.
Because of him, the Lu Group's stock had started to plummet.
But since it had started, it couldn't end; they had to finish recording the first episode.
Early on the second day, as soon as everyone opened the live broadcast, they saw that everyone was still sleeping.
The netizens were amazed.
Is this the advantage of having ordinary people on the show?
They truly weren't acting.
Most people who want to be on shows would try to perform a bit.
Guests usually try to appear hardworking, capable, and understanding – these are all ways to score points.
But these people truly didn't care.
Especially Shen Wei, who had a high-tech invisible mattress.
Lying on it for an hour felt like a full recovery.
She had slept soundly for 10 hours here.
Not only was she full of energy, but her appearance was also well-maintained.
When she woke up, the benefits of Lin Rui's three large suitcases of clothes became apparent. She personally selected outfits.
Her aesthetic sense was on point, and she looked truly beautiful.
Today, Shen Wei wore a little dress.
Lin Rui wore black wide-leg pants, a trench coat, and a white shirt underneath. She applied sexy red lipstick,
Looking beautifully aggressive.
She put a small vest over He Lingfeng's trench coat, making him look like a trendy street dance kid.
When they appeared, they all looked very stylish, unlike the others who were still disheveled from sleep.
Today's task was for the adults to record in-studio advertisements and short clips. The children had to figure out how to earn money, which would be used to buy food.
As for how the children would earn money, the production team didn't specify.
The netizens were once again speechless: "It's not easy for adults to come up with money-making ideas. They're just children."
"These people are really pushing it to the extreme."
Probably due to the criticism, the production team had to provide some fruits and vegetables for the children to sell on the street.
But in this small village, every household had their own vegetables, so no one would buy them.
Vegetables weren't anything special here.
After a full hour, they hadn't sold anything.
The five children were starting to feel discouraged.
At this moment, He Lingfeng came up with an idea.
He borrowed paper and pen from someone and made a sign that read: "Tutoring for high school students, 30 yuan per hour."
