Uprising In The Plot! After Transmigrating, The Bigshots Pampered Me
Chapter 52 - Unreliable

Chapter 52: Unreliable

“I don’t think this is a variety show for family interactions, but a variety show for taking care of babies!” Yu Yao couldn’t help but complain, “I’m that guest in charge of taking care of the baby!”

The cameraman tilted the camera in his hand up and down. Although he couldn’t speak, he was using his actions to express his agreement.

Yu Jue had no clue what was going on. His expression looked exactly like that of the male lead he played on the television screen earlier. He had wanted to show off his smart side, but others could tell at a glance that he was a fool inside.

Yu Yao found an envelope with the production crew’s logo in the drawer under the coffee table. She opened the envelope and poured out a bunch of pocket money.

“The production team said before that during the filming of the show, we have to earn our own money. In the beginning, we obtained a portion of the starting capital from the production team through drawing lots. Our starting capital is all here…”

“Is that all?” Yu Jue pointed at the small pile of coins in shock. There was not a single banknote worth a hundred yuan in there. Most of them were coins or small bills. They looked extremely pitiful.

Yu Yao rolled her eyes at Yu Jue. “What have you been doing all this time? You don’t even know how much starting funds we have.”

Yu Jue looked embarrassed. When Yu Yao looked at him, he smiled ingratiatingly.

However, Yu Yao didn’t fall for his trick again. She scoffed and said, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and help me sort out this money.”

These starting funds were stuffed into envelopes by the production team. Every envelope looked identical. After wrapping everything, even the production team staff were not sure which envelope had the most funds.

The director of the program team was very sly. Previously, at the press conference, the director had even designed a small game of drawing mystery boxes to determine the activity funds. This made what would have been a small detail very interesting.

“Why is there so little? Our starting capital is less than 300 yuan.” Yu Jue sprawled out on the coffee table in despair, his entire body screaming the words “Life is meaningless”.

“Alright, the recording cycle this time will last for three days. It hasn’t gotten to the point where we won’t be able to survive.” Yu Yao put away the sorted money. “Most importantly, what should we do tonight? It’s definitely too late to buy groceries now.”

Yu Jue couldn’t bear to let Yu Yao go hungry at all, so he started to rack his brains frantically to think of a solution. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “The production team only said that we’re not allowed to use our own money, but they didn’t say that we’re not allowed to go to other people’s houses to freeload.”

“You mean…” Yu Yao and Yu Jue looked at each other and she instantly understood what he was thinking.

Yu Jue smiled slyly. “We live so close to Eldest Brother and Second Brother, of course we have to freeload at their houses.”

“Are we exploiting the loopholes of the production team’s rules?”

“Who cares? The production team didn’t explicitly say that we’re not allowed to freeload at our brother’s house.” Yu Jue smiled indifferently. “If the director thinks that we’re exploiting a loophole, then he can change the rules overnight. But that’ll be tomorrow’s problem.”

“You’re right. I don’t want to go hungry tonight anyway!”

Yu Yao was also not the type to follow all the rules. She nodded happily. Infected by Yu Jue’s excitement, she high-fived him.

“Let’s go, we’re going to go freeload off our brother!”

Yu Jue and Yu Yao happily solved the dinner problem tonight. The director in charge of their group went to the main director of the production team helplessly. “Director, look at Yu Jue and his sister. They’re completely unpredictable…”

After the other groups of guests received varying but all minimal amounts of starting capital, all of them started thinking of ways to cut their expenditures.

The most interesting group was a female celebrity and her parents.

The female celebrity’s parents were both rural people. The female celebrity had originally wanted to take them to the supermarket to buy some groceries, but when her smiling parents saw the prices, their expressions changed instantly. They pulled their daughter out of the supermarket and charged towards the bustling farmers’ market.

Almost all the guests were actively planning on how to use this small amount of starting capital. While the other guests were purchasing ingredients or carrying out other activities, Yu Jue and Yu Yao’s group stood out particularly. One of them was in a daze all afternoon, while the other had slept for an entire afternoon.

When Yu Yao finally woke up, Yu Jue had also regained his senses. However, they did not take the initiative to complete the missions. Instead, they were only thinking about how to exploit the loopholes in the production team’s rules.

After the director finished watching some of the clips from Yu Jue’s group, he sighed, feeling a little headache. In the end, he could only wave his hand helplessly. “Forget it. At least their group is the most relaxed and realistic. Yu Jue has tens of millions of fans, and Yu Yao is so popular. No matter what they do, our production team will definitely profit and not lose anything. It’s best not to restrain them too much.”
