Chapter 18
Why Am I Depressed After Being on a Reality Show?

“One, two, three, go!”

Fang Yuan supported Jiang Xin's waist and lifted her up.

With a bang, the balloon burst.

Mission accomplished!

Jiang Xin was indeed heavier than Baby.

Baby had a thinner waist.

Jiang Xin's waist was relatively full.

The feel of their bodies was completely different.

【Joy Value +311】

Fang Yuan quickly returned to the starting point.

He bent down and picked up Na Za and charged forward again.

Na Za is 23 years old.

She's about the same age as Fang Yuan.

She's 172cm tall and weighs 50kg.

Her features are sharp and she has an exotic look.

The feeling of running with her was different from carrying Baby and Jiang Xin.

【Joy Value +333】

Bang!

Second mission accomplished!

Finally, Fang Yuan picked up Zhejiang TV host Yi Yi.

【Joy Value +235】

Bang!

Third mission accomplished!

The whole place was silent…

Ten seconds later.

Clap!

Clap clap clap!

Clap clap clap clap clap…

All the guests and crew members applauded Fang Yuan.

Chao Ge clenched his fist: “Bull! My eyes have been opened!”

Li Chen shouted: “This episode of 'Running Man' is going to explode in ratings!”

Chen He rubbed his face: “This is such a slap in the face, should I just leave?”

Zheng Kai shook his head in amazement: “He's a variety show genius!”

Wang Zulan sighed: “Sigh, he's single-handedly taken down the whole show.”

Bao Bei'er hung his head in dejection: “This is so embarrassing… He shouldn’t have come on 'Running Man', I suggest he goes on 'Dragon Nation’s Got Talent'.”

The female guests were all screaming wildly.

Baby: “Ahhhh! Fang Yuan is awesome! Fang Yuan is so cool!”

Liu Yan: “What kind of godly guest is this??”

Jiang Xin: “Chen He! I’m asking you, am I heavy or not?!”

Na Za: “Fang Yuan ran with me like I was flying~”

Huo Siyan: “My gosh, this little brother is terrifying.”

Cai Shao Fen: “He’s even better than my husband, I should have chosen Fang Yuan~”

Yi Yi: “Fang Yuan is undoubtedly the strongest guest in 'Running Man' history!”

【Sisters… this lady is stunned…】

【Brothers… my ears are ringing… my eyes are blurry… my eggs are twitching…】

【Fang Yuan! I’ll remember you!】

【I didn’t think you could do anything special just by stepping on a foot massage mat, but he actually pulled off something amazing.】

【He’s carried Baby, Jiang Xin, Na Za, Yi Yi… I can’t take it anymore… I’m envious…】

【He’s become a legend in one battle… this episode of Running Man is too exciting…】

The comments on the live stream were spreading like wildfire.

The online audience gradually surged to 200,000+.

The TV ratings soared.

It strongly broke the 'Running Man' all-channel viewing record.

The director, producer, sponsor, and Zhejiang TV executives were all overjoyed.

Fan Ye was so surprised that she even stopped filming.

She really wanted to video chat with Fang Yuan right now.

However, Fang Yuan was still live-streaming.

So she had to hold back for now.

Fang Yuan… Fang Yuan…

You’re so freaking hidden…

Since you signed under my agency.

We've been together for half a year.

I never realized your physical fitness was so strong!

Are you a mystery?

Fan Ye increasingly felt like she had found a treasure.

Fang Yuan's incredible performance in the first round shocked everyone.

After the show crew rewarded Fang Yuan with 50 boxes of milk.

They aired a sponsor ad.

The guests entered their break time.

Those who needed to go to the bathroom went to the bathroom.

Those who needed to drink water drank water.

Those who needed to prepare their talents prepared their talents.

During this time.

Baby, Na Za, Liu Yan, and Jiang Xin, among other female guests, all actively added Fang Yuan on WeChat.

“Sigh, I’m jealous.”

Wang Zulan looked at Fang Yuan, who was surrounded by female stars, with envy and joked: “Let’s team up to blacklist him, the entertainment industry can’t allow someone this awesome to exist.”

“Seconded! This guy is going to be a huge threat to us male artists in the future.”

Bao Bei'er pounded his chest: “Some people are just better than others, I’m so triggered, my self-esteem has taken a 10,000-point hit.”

Li Chen looked at the two of them: “Can you two be a little more like seniors?”

Chen He smiled optimistically and winked.

“Oh, come on, don’t be so down, why are you depressed after just playing a variety show?”

“There are still two more rounds, we can show off our talents in the talent competition, Fang Yuan can’t possibly also sing and dance, right?”

“Besides, the third round of name-tag tearing is the highlight, it’s our 'Running Man' team's specialty, Fang Yuan doesn’t have any experience, he can’t beat us.”

After hearing Chen He's words.

Wang Zulan, Bao Bei'er, and Zheng Kai immediately regained their spirits.

Men are born with a competitive spirit.

They didn’t care about the milk, phone, or car prizes.

They were fighting for face.

“Chen Ge, stop talking, come on, let’s discuss what talent we’re going to perform for the second round.”

Huo Siyan waved to Li Chen.

The seven teams were divided into different areas and discussed in hushed voices.

“Fang Yuan, what talent are we going to perform?”

Baby handed Fang Yuan a cup of coffee: “Besides acting, writing scripts, and sports, what other skills do you have?”

My skill is skills!

“I’m good with anything, up to you.”

Fang Yuan asked back: “What do you want to perform? We’re all actors, why don’t we act out a scene from a movie?”

“Hmmmm…”

Baby looked embarrassed: “Well…”

Fang Yuan smirked.

He knew Baby was a terrible actress.

So he deliberately teased her.

“Cough, are you laughing at me?”

Baby furrowed her brow.

“I’m not laughing, my mouth just itched, you tell me.”

Fang Yuan listened in on the other teams’ plans.

His hearing had been enhanced.

He could clearly hear the other teams' conversations.

Some wanted to sing, some wanted to dance, some wanted to play piano, some wanted to act…

Actually, they had prepared in advance.

Variety shows have scripts too.

They would be given a heads-up beforehand.

They just needed to improvise on the spot.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have time to think of anything on the fly.

Only Fang Yuan hadn't prepared in advance.

He was temporarily added to the show by Fan Ye yesterday.

“Why don’t we sing? Singing is easier, games, winning is good, losing is fine, we already won the first round, I’m happy with that.”

Baby knew her singing skills were amateur.

So she gave Fang Yuan a heads-up in advance.

“Okay, what do you want to sing?”

Fang Yuan activated the system.

He turned on the cheat mode.

“I prepared a duet for you yesterday, Wang X Hong's 'You Are the Song in My Heart', do you know this song?”

Baby opened her phone’s QQ Music app and clicked play.

“Hmm, I’ve heard it, let me take a look at the lyrics.”

Fang Yuan couldn’t carry a tune in his past life.

“Okay, let’s try singing along, you sing the male parts, I’ll sing the female parts.”

Baby said again: “Don’t be nervous, 'Running Man' isn’t a professional singing stage, it’s not that strict, if you can’t remember the lyrics, we can look at them while singing.”

“You are the song in my heart…”

Fang Yuan hummed along.

He hadn’t had time to buy singing skills yet.

So…

Baby bit her lower lip to stifle her laughter.

Hold it in, hold it in…

“Pfft! Hahaha…”

Baby couldn’t contain it anymore: “My gosh, your singing is even worse than mine, we both belong to the category of people with huge image and tone dissonance.”

“I’ve helped you find confidence?”

Fang Yuan spent 8888 points to buy the Song King-level singing skill.

He then spent 5988 points to buy the super learning ability.

After all, he needed to learn the song's singing style quickly.

“Ha~, that’s quite a bit of confidence, little brother, don’t be self-conscious, we already won the first round, it’s no big deal, to be honest, Chao Ge, Zheng Kai, and Chen He sing quite well, let’s give them a chance to shine in the second round.”

Baby was too lazy to listen to Fang Yuan sing anymore.

She was prepared to surrender.

“Break time is over, please return to the center stage.”

The AI broadcast sounded throughout the venue.
