Chapter 367
Before filming for the event started, Wang Xiaoou went through every process carefully. They brought
their own makeup, makeup artist and even prepared their own wardrobe. Everything checked out.
As filming started, the first challenge was a hundred-meter swim race. Before that, the participants had
to first train their swimming technique under the supervision of a swimming champion.
Whoever did well in that challenge would receive an advantage and special privileges.
Obviously, all the participants knew how to swim, just with different degrees of proficiency.
Hence, before the professional training began, all of them had to swim onep and record their times.
After training, they would thenpare and see who had the biggest gains in performance.
Before Wang Xiaoou sent Ning Ran over, she asked, “How’s your swimming?”
“I had some practice when I was young, but rarely swam when I was older. I can only guarantee you
that I won’t drown,” Ning Ran joked wryly.
“In that case, you should swim slower in the first round, so that your initial results won’t be that good.
After training, the gap between your results will appear bigger, and you will have the advantage,” Wang
Xiaoou whispered.
Ning Ran felt ufortable when she heard it. “Swim slowly on purpose? Isn’t that faking it? It would
not be fair to the other contestants.”
Wang Xiaoou straightened her face. “This is a reality show, who isn’t faking it? Besides, you should
keep it down.”
“But…”
“Don’t but me. You’re a guest star, so the audience’s attention will be focused on you. Therefore, you
have to put in a good performance, or theizens will have you for lunch,” Wang Xiaoou warned.
“This… ugh… very well.” Ning Ran had no choice but to agree.
Wearing her swimsuit in front of all the cameras, Ning Ran couldn’t help but feel awkward.
When she saw what the other female guests wore, Ning Ran suddenly felt that her swimwear was a
joke.
Her swimsuit was extremely conservative as it only exposed her arms.
As for the other female guests, they were all scantily d and exposed everything they had, regardless
of whether it was appropriate to do so or not.
The interesting thing was that the producers were worried the show couldn’t get past the censorship on
local television. Hence, they sent the other female guests back to change into something less
revealing.
After some back and forth, the outfits were all resolved, and the first round of swimming began.
With some warming up, Ning Ran jumped into the water and swam forward with all her might.
Wang Xiaoou quickly reminded her to hold back her strength in the first round so that the increase in
performance for the second round would be more significant.
However, Ning Ran wasn’t willing to take Wang Xiaoou’s advice. She felt that she should give it her
best instead.
Given that the producers had set a rule like that, they would definitely be aware of the loophole it
created. Therefore, they would be expecting people to take advantage of it.
Since the focus of the program was being true to oneself, Ning Ran felt that holding back would result
in her being punished.
Although she didn’t know how the producers were going to determine whoever that was swimming
slowly was faking it, she believed that it would be wrong for her to do. Thus, she didn’t want to put up
an act the first time she was invited to such a popr reality show.
But when Wang Xiaoou saw how Ning Ran was swimming her heart out, she screamed in her heart.
How stupid can she be? Why doesn’t she listen to what I tell her?
What is she putting in so much effort for? In fact, is she trying toe in first ce?
All the other celebrities are obviously swimming slowly on purpose. Only she is giving it her all. Is there
something wrong with her brain?
Ning Ran put her best foot forward and didn’t notice what the other celebrities were doing. She was
only focused on swimming forward as fast as she could.
When she lifted her head to take a look, she realized that she was in the first ce.
She then felt awkward.
As for Wang Xiaoou, she felt like pushing Ning Ran’s head in the water so that she could calm down
after choking on some pool water.
Now that you got yourself in the first ce, how are you going to improve on your resultter on?
After that, Ning Ran exited the pool before drying herself. Covering her head with a towel, she looked
at Wang Xiaoou, who was fuming.
She quickly turned away to avoid making eye contact because she knew Wang Xiaoou was angry.
Earlier on, Ning Ran’s intention was just not toe inst. However, she didn’t expect all the other
celebrities to fake their performance to the extent she ended up in first ce.
They were simply holding back by ridiculously.
When the other celebrities came out of the pool, they looked at Ning Ran before exchanging nces
with a smile.
In their minds, she had shown she was clearly a newbie to have done something as stupid as to obtain
first ce.
At that moment, the host came over. “Alright, now that you have finished swimming the first round, I will
announce the results.”
Once he was done with the results, the host looked towards Ning Ran. “Now, let us congratte Ding
Mi for winning the first round of the swimming contest! Congrattions!”
All the other celebrities exchanged nces and smiled. They were all mocking her in their minds for
being stupid anding in the first ce.
Ning Ran also felt embarrassed as she knew everyone wasughing at her for being dumb.
Life is tough. Since when did being true to oneself was perceived as being stupid?
“And inst ce, we have Ms. Shen Yue.”
Shen Yue was one of the biggest stars of the show this season. She had started her career in Korea
before returning to develop her career domestically. Hence, she was the most popr figure on the
show.
She had gone through many rounds of stic surgery and looked like the stereotypical beauty.
However, she had a sexy figure and was daring in the way she dressed. With a sharp tongue, she was
well-adored by her adolescent fans.
Most of the words she used to attack other celebrities were turned into memes on the inte. They
were then used by otherizens to swear at the people around them.
“Damn it, how did I end up in thest ce? This is terrible. I don’t know if can still continue filming
given how embarrassing this is,” Shen Yue remarked with a smile.
She then walked towards Ning Ran. “You must be Mi Ding. Your performance in the pool was great.
Did you grow up nting wheat or raising hogs? To be able to swim so fast with such an ugly
technique, you must be relying on raw strength alone.”

She knew that Ding Mi was a newbie. Therefore, she purposely picked on Ding Mi by inverting her
name to Mi Ding, so as to show her condescension.
The mockery that followed was even more rude.
Shen Yue’s style had always been like that. Every word that came out of her mouth sounded
aggressive.
She was one of those uncivilized characters who was well-loved byizens. It was simply
iprehensible.
Meanwhile, all the other celebrities burst out inughter as they always enjoyed watching Shen Yue
insult others.
All Ning Ran did was to smile without responding.
As she was still new, she didn’t want to get into a conflict with one of the permanent guests on the
show.
If she dared to talk back and it was broadcasted, she would be berated byizens even if she were
doing the right thing.
The reason was simple. Theizens didn’t know Ning Ran well enough, but they are familiar with
Shen Yue.
To the long-time fans of the show, Shen Yue could do no wrong. As for everything the newbie did, it
would never be right.
Therefore, Ning Ran had to endure it.
“Since your surname is Mi, are you rted to Mickey Mouse? Oh, I forgot that rats can swim very
quickly too. Now that exins how you came in the first ce.”
Just as she spoke, she burst intoughter.
Meanwhile, the other celebrities joined in. Even the production crew couldn’t help butugh.
“Ms. Shen, you’re contradicting yourself. First, you im that I raise hogs, and then you use me of
being a mouse. Have you ever seen mice raising pigs? Hahaha.”
Despiteughing outwardly, Ning Ran was burning with rage inside. Therefore, she began to fight back
indirectly.
However, Shen Yue didn’t expect Ding Mi to talk back at her, so her temper red.
All this while, the guest stars of the show would show her respect no matter how important they are.
How dare this small-time actress talk back at me? Are you disrespecting me?
