Chapter 438: Five Houses

“We will release the pictures of the house to everyone. Then you’ll obtain points through the games. You’ll pick based on who has the most points,” the director said.
Gao Tian asked, “Then what kind of games are we playing?”
Han Yu smiled and said, “We’ll announce it after we show the photos.”
After saying that, the staff walked out with the photos and placed it where every family could see it.
“Number 1 is really luxurious!” Liu Yan sighed.
House 1 had a full set of modern facilities. There was even an air conditioner in the house. It looked no different from the houses in the city. It was luxuriously decorated despite being in the village. After all, the mountain village was very remote. The young and strong people moved out to work and did not stay in the village. The old people guarded the old houses and did not renovate them.
The children were curious about this place. It was also because of this that the village and the city were worlds apart.
Gao Tian looked at the other pictures and said, “Houses 2 and 3 are considered okay. They are quite normal.”
Although No. 2 and No. 3 were not as luxurious as No. 1, the internal facilities were complete. There was also a stove that could start a fire. There was a millstone in House 3 that could be used to make many things.
Both of them were conventionally renovated in the village, so they were considered good houses.
Jiang Yu pointed at the pictures of House 4 and said, “Mom, this one is fun.”
House 4 was definitely the most special. The interior decoration was very old and there were not many modern facilities. However, there was a large courtyard with a grape trellis and a small vegetable garden. It looked very close to nature.
Tan Si looked at Jiang Yu in disdain. She felt that she was ignorant. She was getting excited over some plants. Who knew how many mosquitoes there were in such a place?
As for House 5, no one mentioned it because it was too dilapidated. There wasn’t even a bed, only the shell of a house as a primitive shelter against the wind and sun.
No one wanted to live in this house. They would definitely have to stay in the village for seven to eight days for the recording. The live broadcast meant that they could only live there obediently. Not to mention children, even adults could not tolerate it.
For a moment, everyone’s fighting spirit was aroused. They looked at the director with burning eyes, waiting for him to announce the content of the game.
[This House 5 is too scary.]
[There isn’t even a bed. Where will they sleep?]
[I reckon they’ll give them an inflatable mattress or something.]
[I wonder who will live there.]
[House 1 is nothing in the city, but it has become a luxurious house in the village.]
[The mountain village is really too remote.]
[House 3 is actually quite good. It has such a big courtyard.]
The director looked at everyone’s anticipation and smiled in satisfaction. This was the effect he wanted.
These programs required everyone to be invested. If the game was lifeless, there would be nothing to watch.
“This game is about stepping on boxes. There will be boxes placed in front of everyone. Some of them are empty, and some are filled with balloons. Everyone has five chances to step on boxes. You have to choose which one to step on,” the director said. “If you step on a balloon, you will get one point. If you step on a balloon and burst it, you will get three points. In the end, you will exchange for a house according to the points you earn.”
Meng Nuan asked, “Then can only one person step on the box?”
Han Yu nodded. “Every family has to choose one person to step on the box. The others are in charge of choosing. They can also be replaced midway. This is a game that requires a lot of luck.”
He had specially researched this sort of gameplay. If they could obtain points just by stepping on the right box, they would need more boxes to determine the winner. However, to be able to step on the balloon until it burst required some technique.
The balloons prepared by the production team were smaller than the boxes. The balloons in the boxes might not be where someone would step. It would take a lot of power to burst them.
[This sounds very simple.]
[It’s not simple at all. If the balloon is much smaller than the box, it will run around inside. There’s a high chance that you won’t step on it.]
[Moreover, the balloon is in the cardboard box. There’s still a layer between them. It will take a lot of strength to burst it.]
[Then it must be a man stepping on the box.]
[But some families don’t have a man.]
“Some families” referred to Tan Si’s. She did not want to step on the box at all. She felt that she would look like a monkey. However, there were only two adults in her family. If Wang Li went up, the netizens would definitely discuss it.
At the thought of this, she turned to look at the director. “Director, there are men in other families. We only have women and children in our family. It’s not fair in terms of strength..”
