All-Round Charge! used a fully livestreamed format.

In other words, aside from using the bathroom, showering, and sleeping, the guests lived under the cameras at all times.

And the audience watched them in real time.

This meant that every guest had virtually no room to make mistakes on camera.

Under the livestream cameras, even the slightest mistake would be caught and magnified.

In the end, it might become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

So, in front of the cameras, all the guests tried their best to show their finest side.

Except Qi Si and Zhou Linzhe.

These two young masters had no such concerns. They were pretty much the same on camera as they were normally.

After the two returned to their room one after the other, Qi Si flopped onto his bed without the slightest intention of earning money for food.

Zhou Linzhe stood by the bed and looked at Qi Si hesitantly for two seconds.

"You're just lying down like that?" Zhou Linzhe asked.

Qi Si turned his head to look at him and asked, "What else?"

"You're not going to make money?"

"What's the rush?"

Zhou Linzhe frowned. "It's almost dinner time."

"I know. So?"

"If you don't make money now, what are you going to eat tonight?"

Qi Si rolled over and looked at Zhou Linzhe with a smile. "Isn't there still Young Master Zhou? Young Master Zhou wouldn't eat alone and leave me to starve, would he?"

Zhou Linzhe's expression went blank for a second, as though he had not expected Qi Si to say that.

Qi Si continued, "The director only said we had to earn our own food money. He never said I couldn't eat my roommate's food."

Xiang Qianchong, watching the livestream, went, "??!" Damn! He had been careless!

Qi Si had actually found a loophole!

Was it too late to fix it now?

The thought had barely surfaced when a glittering gold comment floated across the livestream.

[Little Brother Is So Good: My little brother is really clever.]

Xiang Qianchong: "..."

Were these two brothers ever going to stop?!

Seeing that Qi Wang was still in the livestream, Xiang Qianchong could only tearfully give up on changing the rules.

What pleased Xiang Qianchong, however, was that although Qi Si had plenty of sneaky ideas and loved exploiting loopholes, the loopholes were unwilling to cooperate with him.

Zhou Linzhe came back to his senses and coldly rejected Qi Si's proposal.

"No way. I'm not giving you any food."

"Do you have to be so heartless? We're roommates, after all."

"I don't know you that well. If you want to eat, figure it out yourself."

"Fine! You win!" Qi Si flipped Zhou Linzhe off.

The livestream viewers found the conversation between the two young masters amusing, but they could not help mocking them too.

[He really is such a young master!]

[Don't say it, don't say it! Qi Si's idea is actually pretty good though. (laughing through tears)]

[The idea is good, but the person who needs to cooperate isn't very cooperative. (doge)]

[If he said that to anyone else, I'd roast him to death. But hearing him say it to Young Master Zhou is just hilarious hhh.]

[I get it! The young masters' tug-of-war, hahaha!]

[The key is that Qi Si actually believes Zhou Linzhe can get food money. (facepalm)]

The audience looked down on both young masters equally.

No one thought Qi Si and Zhou Linzhe could endure such hardship. In the end, they would probably have to rely on the production crew or the other guests for support.

If they were in the city, perhaps the two young masters could earn food money with their own abilities.

But this was a remote, impoverished countryside, and the surrounding villages were all far apart.

Even going into town to buy something required a long ride.

Under such circumstances, they refused to believe that two pampered young masters could live comfortably.

Just wait and see!

It was only the first day, so they could still endure it.

By tomorrow, there would probably be a good show to watch.

Qi Si had said he would not go make money, and he really did not leave the room. He lay on the bed playing with his phone.

Zhou Linzhe watched him for a while before finally leaving by himself.

As he left, Qi Si glanced at him.

Qi Si did not believe Zhou Linzhe was going out to earn food money. Barring any surprises, he was probably going to find Lin Weiwei.

Qi Si appeared to be playing on his phone, but he was actually sorting through the plot related to Zhou Linzhe in his mind.

This body's memories did not contain much information about Zhou Linzhe.

This showed that before he had transmigrated into it, the original owner had not had much contact with Zhou Linzhe.

Qi Si organized the plot in his head. Based on the novel's timeline, Zhou Linzhe and Lin Weiwei should have only just met at this point.

Tsk tsk. He was already simping this hard right after meeting her.

Compared to the original owner, Zhou Linzhe was not much better.

The original owner had simply been less subtle about simping, while Zhou Linzhe probably still cared a little about saving face.

Though it was obvious he did not care that much.

Qi Si could not understand it. What was so great about Lin Weiwei?

One after another, the moment they saw her, it was as if they had been put under a spell, desperately throwing themselves at her.

Could she really have some kind of Mary Sue aura?

Otherwise, by normal logic, how could a woman you had just met and barely knew compare to a childhood sweetheart who had grown up with you?

But this book was just that illogical.

Zhou Linzhe had practically fallen in love with Lin Weiwei at first sight, then chose Lin Weiwei over Shen Shuyu without the slightest inner struggle.

If it had simply been a choice of love over friendship, Qi Si would not have thought much of it.

Life always required making choices and sacrifices.

If the two truly could not coexist, there was nothing to criticize about following one's heart.

But the melodramatic part of this novel was that both the male lead Bo Fuyu and the second male lead Zhou Linzhe had clearly chosen Lin Weiwei, yet neither of them was willing to let Shen Shuyu go.

At first, when Shen Shuyu was unwilling to accept it and refused to let go, Bo Fuyu and Zhou Linzhe found her unbearably annoying and wished she would disappear from the world the next second.

Later, Shen Shuyu let go and wanted to spare herself from continuing the tangled mess with them.

Those two became unwilling again and insisted on provoking Shen Shuyu.

In the end, they tormented her until she was covered in wounds, only stopping once no one got a good ending.

As a reader, Qi Si had to say this seriously—

What trash of a novel? Pah!

Furiously, Qi Si rolled over on the bed and continued recalling how the plot would unfold next.

The livestream audience, seeing this scene, thought he had found something on his phone that made him unhappy.

[What is he looking at? How did he make himself angry just from watching it?]

[Tsk tsk~ As expected of a young master's temper. He can even get mad while playing on his phone. (doge)]

[Could he be watching his own livestream?]

[What? What? Does that mean Young Master Qi can see the comments we post???]

Xiang Qianchong had not required the guests to hand over their phones, so they could use them during filming.

It was just that the signal here was poor, and it took forever to load anything online.

The livestream used satellite internet. Otherwise, the footage would not even come through.

That was why Xiang Qianchong did not care whether they used their phones.

The livestream viewers thought Qi Si was browsing online, but he was really just holding his phone to keep up appearances and was doing nothing at all.

Qi Si was deeply engrossed in thought when his phone suddenly vibrated.

A message came in through Green Bubble.
