Chapter 259: Chapter 238: Complete Breakdown

Sheng Yaoyao proactively requested Ji Xizhi for help: “Zhi Zhi, why don’t you try calling Qiqi?”

Ji Xizhi was willing to help, and she replied, “Sure, but I don’t have experience waking others, so I’m not sure if I can do it.” This text is hosted at novèlfire.net

Sheng Yaoyao had long been aware of Le Qiqi’s talent for sleeping in.

Ji Xizhi agreed to help, and Sheng Yaoyao was already grateful, quickly saying, “No worries, as long as we prove in front of the livestream camera that we tried calling her, that’s good enough.”

After saying this, Sheng Yaoyao quickly winked at the fixed livestream equipment in the room, and pleaded, “Right, please kindly edit out that last sentence.”

[Hahaha Yao Bao: I tried my best, sincerely! (Please cut out the insincere parts!)]

[Verified, dear sis-in-law, I’m kind of envious of the relationship between the two of them, it’s so comfortable~]

[But Le Qiqi’s oversleeping syndrome is really quite serious, even the escape room neighbors with Qiu Lin have tried everything, and plugging her nose so she can’t breathe didn’t work, Ji Xizhi probably won’t be able to wake her up either!]

[Indeed, I’m personally a serious oversleeper too; when I don’t want to wake up, not even the king of heaven can make me!]

The livestream room was pessimistic.

These days, someone like Ji Xizhi who doesn’t sleep in at all is a rarity; most people have some degree of oversleeping delayed response.

During Le Qiqi’s previous escape room recordings, she had trended multiple times due to oversleeping, everyone knew.

This time, Ji Xizhi was attempting to wake up Le Qiqi, but no one held out hope, as it seemed impossible to succeed.

Ji Xizhi herself had no expectations either; she simply sat by Le Qiqi’s bed and succinctly said six words: “Qiqi, time to get up.”

After saying this, Ji Xizhi paused.

On the bed, Le Qiqi remained motionless, as if she didn’t hear anything, and showed no sign of waking.

Sheng Yaoyao and several other guests waited for quite a while, yet there was no follow-up from Ji Xizhi.

Sheng Yaoyao was puzzled: “?” Is that… all?

She knew her attempts weren’t very sincere, but had Ji Xizhi truly tried at all?

[Hahahaha the whole segment collapsed, turns out there’s no most perfunctory, only more perfunctory!]

[I knew Ji Xizhi couldn’t wake Le Qiqi, but I didn’t know she could be so perfunctory?!]

The livestream audience laughed away their morning drowsiness.

Ji Xizhi politely called to Le Qiqi, and seeing no response, she looked up at Sheng Yaoyao: “Should I call again?”

Sheng Yaoyao paused, then turned towards the livestream camera.

[Yao Bao, let me help you out, post-production guys, please edit this entire part out!]

[Post-production: Forget it, to keep it simple, I’ll just edit Le Qiqi out for you!]

Sheng Yaoyao understood Le Qiqi well, originally hoping Ji Xizhi, with her great self-discipline, might have some unique tool to handle oversleeping, but seeing that Ji Xizhi honestly had none, she gave up.

Sheng Yaoyao: “Forget it, let’s gather outside first.”

Director Wang’s voice kept intermittently coming through the door gap, and the other guests couldn’t wait, opening the door and heading out.

Ji Xizhi glanced at the still sleeping Le Qiqi and voluntarily said to Director Wang at the door, “Director Wang, do you have a pen? If we’re all going out for the show group’s task, Le Qiqi will be alone here, sleeping…”

Ji Xizhi was worried Le Qiqi might wake up and not find anyone, wanting to leave a note for her.

But before she finished her sentence.

A hand suddenly lifted up and grabbed Ji Xizhi’s arm.

“What Director Wang? What task? You guys are pranking Director Wang without me???”

Le Qiqi, like a spring, bounced up from the bed, her eyes opened wide like copper bells.

In the last episode, she was sleeping during escape room and missed a series of events pranking Director Xu; only later upon watching the audience’s edited cuts did she realize what she missed.

Now, in “Life Experience,” although she was still half-asleep, her eyes didn’t open, once she heard “Director Wang,” her whole spirit perked up.

She can do it! She can wake up!! How could such a good thing be missed!!!

Ji Xizhi seriously called for wake-up but couldn’t manage to wake Le Qiqi, instead inadvertently waking her with a random comment.

The livestream audience laughed even harder.

[Turns out the reason the young miss used to oversleep was just because nothing caught her interest!]

[Awesome, next time my daughter oversleeps, I’ll just say Elsa came to see her!]

[Ji Xizhi, tsk, turns out she’s a natural siren~ so on that note, for whoever claimed not even the king of heaven could wake them, what if Ji Xizhi stood at your bedside?]

[I’m that person, if Ji Xizhi came, I’d be alert and get up in a second, sob!]

[Can someone check Director Wang’s expression at the door? He looks like he’s about to eat someone! lol]

Director Wang at the door gritted his teeth: indeed wanting to eat someone, if it wasn’t illegal!

When Ji Xizhi brought Le Qiqi out, the other guests were surprised.

Especially Sheng Yaoyao, who, having only been outside for less than ten minutes, was shocked that Le Qiqi woke up?

Sheng Yaoyao immediately turned her head to look at Ji Xizhi.

Ji Xizhi hadn’t even had a chance to explain this unexpected event.

Sheng Yaoyao internally hypothesized: Ji Xizhi must have some special weapon against oversleeping, and just couldn’t display it in front of all the guests earlier!

Recalling the method Ji Xizhi used to help solve her insomnia last episode, Sheng Yaoyao’s admiration for Ji Xizhi grew even more.

Ji Xizhi merely walked out of the room, saying nothing and doing nothing, Sheng Yaoyao’s gaze was more enthusiastic.

Ji Xizhi: “?”

But Sheng Yaoyao didn’t speak, so Ji Xizhi didn’t ask.

All the guests gathered, and Director Wang didn’t offer much explanation.

“Today’s special item, a crystal lamp, is singular; the supermarket location needs to be found by yourselves, you may set off now! Flying guest who retrieves it may propose any condition to gift it to fixed guests.”

Only one crystal lamp, nine people competing, with flying guests joining too, making the chances even slimmer.

Almost as soon as Director Wang spoke, Zhu Xiu’an and Bai Zhe dashed off.

Zhu Xiu’an was body before mind, grabbing regardless of need.

Bai Zhe aimed to grab it to negotiate terms with Ji Xizhi.

The guests sprinted out of the small house, starting to search for the supermarket.

According to the initial program plan, if all nine program guests had visited the group supermarket last night, they might remember its location this morning, avoiding the rush.

Regrettably, no one had gone.

So this morning’s difficulty increased.

Xianyu Village isn’t small, there’s mountains and water, many trees, villagers’ houses are spaced out, with similar-looking exteriors.

The program’s rented cabin is by the sea, and no one had ventured further inland.

Once they venture deeper into the village today, they’ll realize it’s quite easy to get lost inside.
