WIIAD? ## Chapter 29: Arm Wrestling!

After saying this, Qi Lin pointed to the second floor and said, "When I came to Nanhai two days ago, I visited this mall. I remember very clearly that there's a watch on the second floor priced at over 700,000 yuan!"

Everyone was stunned by this revelation, and Wang Xiaolan reacted the most. He grabbed Qi Lin's arm and exclaimed, "Really! Did you peek at the script answers? Let's not waste time. You must know the password already, right? Just tell us!"

Yang Baobei also looked incredulous. "What a coincidence! Why were you shopping here?"

Qi Lin scratched his head and replied, "The navigation said this is the largest mall around."

Wang Shu waved his hand dismissively and said, "Now's not the time to discuss this. Let's get a head start on them!"

With that, he took off running, followed by Zheng Liebao and the others. Seeing this, Qi Lin imitated them and ran as well.

Once they reached the second floor, Qi Lin pointed out the direction of the watch store.

As they approached, Yang Baobei's eyes lit up, noticing the cameras set up outside the store. That meant there was definitely something there!

After a quick search, they successfully found a box containing the password in the store.

Yang Baobei let out an excited scream and quickly opened the box to find a number six written inside.

At that moment, an announcement was made over the speakers. "Congratulations to the Red Team for finding the password! Blue Team, please gather on the second floor!"

After two or three minutes, Captain Deng led his team to the second floor.

Chen Tiancai looked bewildered and said, "What’s going on? It’s only been a few minutes! How did you find it so quickly? Director, did you give them a hint?"

Wang Xiaolan jumped out, laughing dramatically, "Of course not! We have a secret weapon! Haha, you didn’t expect this, did you? Our team member Qi Lin visited this mall two days ago."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Qi Lin in disbelief.

Feeling a bit awkward under their stares, Qi Lin scratched his head and said, "I went shopping two days ago and bought some clothes."

Chen Tiancai pretended to collapse on the ground, whining dramatically, "Are you kidding me? This actually works?"

After a bit of playful banter, Qi Lin began to find his groove.

At this point, the director called for a break, giving the artists time to rest and allowing the makeup artists to check if their makeup needed touching up.

Wang Xiaohua approached with a bottle of water, smiling as she handed it to Qi Lin. "Don’t be so tense. Just think of it as having fun."

Qi Lin took the water, drank a few gulps, wiped his mouth, and nodded. "Yeah, I’m starting to get the hang of recording variety shows."

After checking his makeup, Captain Deng also walked over to Qi Lin. From the beginning of the recording, Captain Deng had been very supportive of him. Seeing him approach, Qi Lin immediately greeted him.

"Captain Deng!"

Captain Deng smiled, patted Qi Lin on the shoulder, and said, "Don’t worry about keeping up appearances. When you’re recording a variety show, being on camera is what matters."

"You’ve come here, participated, and run around. If you end up with hardly any screen time, wouldn’t that be a waste?"

"Loosen up and have fun! Just look at Lin Xin!"

Captain Deng pointed to Lin Xin, who was stretching nearby. "That guy is really relaxed! He plays games and doesn’t mind looking silly. Don’t worry, nobody’s going to laugh at you in a comedy variety show."

Qi Lin nodded earnestly, while Hua Jie rolled her eyes at Captain Deng and said, "You talk too much! Even though Qi Lin isn’t going for an idol image, with his looks, the post-production team will add filters for him. Goofing around doesn’t suit him."

Their friendly banter revealed their long-standing relationship. Qi Lin learned that when Captain Deng first debuted, Hua Jie wanted to sign him. Although things didn’t work out and Deng signed with another company, they became friends.

…

The break ended quickly, and the second recording session began!

As soon as it started, the director handed out a new task card.

Captain Deng took it and began explaining the game rules.

"Life and Death Arm Wrestling Competition! Both teams will compete in arm wrestling matches, with each team member taking turns. The first team to win three matches wins!"

"The losing team must drink ten bottles of 'Yi Yi Milk' before they can continue!"

Hearing the rules, Captain Deng's team erupted in cheers.

Chen Tiancai, with a mischievous grin, grabbed Li Heiniu's bicep and taunted the Red Team, "Hey, hey, hey, have you seen an arm as thick as a post? How can a normal person beat the bull?"

Lin Xin and the others also cheered, confident of their victory.

Qi Lin, however, calmly took off his jacket.

Previously, Qi Lin had been wearing long sleeves, so they hadn't noticed. But once he removed his jacket, it became clear that his muscles were no less impressive than Li Heiniu's!

Qi Lin demonstrated what it means to be lean and muscular.

This time, it was Yang Baobei and the others who began to cheer.

"Haha, you celebrated too soon! You have the big black bull, but we have Qi Lin!"

"Qi Lin! The Kirin! Did you hear that? How can your big black bull compare?"

"The strong have finally met their match!"

Qi Lin and the big black bull remained silent, but sparks seemed to fly between them.

Captain Deng raised his hand holding the task card and said, "Alright! Let’s be fair and open. Everyone should choose their opponent! Of course, the bull will face Qi Lin. Let them compete!"

After Captain Deng spoke, he looked at Zheng Liebao and said, "Liebao! How about we start?"

Zheng Liebao stretched his neck and said, "Sure, I’m ready!"

Yang Baobei looked at Wang Li and said, "Then it’s us."

"No problem," Wang Li replied with a smile.

The remaining members quickly paired off.

The arm wrestling competition officially began!

The production team was well-prepared, not only providing a professional arm wrestling table but also inviting a professional arm wrestling referee!

First up was Captain Deng!

He was the absolute core of the seven. His title of captain wasn’t just for show!

Both contestants gave it their all, their necks and faces visibly reddening. Captain Deng’s neck veins bulged, but he ultimately won the first match!

Next up was Yang Baobei.

She was a representative of strong women, winning easily against Wang Li.

Then, Wang Shu defeated Chen Tiancai, while Wang Xiaolan lost to Lin Xin, bringing the score to a two-two tie.

All eyes were now on Qi Lin and Li Heiniu! The two stared at each other, then approached the table without a word, grasping each other's hands firmly.

The referee positioned their hands and announced, "Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Start!"
