Director Niu officially announced the rules for that day's games.
"This season, the rules are getting a major upgrade. During the next 28 days in the villa, our guests won't be allowed to spend their own money. You can only use the living allowance provided by the production team."
"In other words, the quality of your lives in the villa over the next 28 days will depend entirely on today's games."
The announcement immediately caused an uproar among the guests.
Qiu Chengye was the first to protest. "Are you kidding me? Having a whole bunch of people crammed into one villa is bad enough, and now you're restricting our living expenses too?"
Lai Bingxuan also planted her hands on her hips and started cursing.
"What kind of bullshit rule is that? This is abuse!"
Xu Shuangrong, meanwhile, asked the crucial question. "Then how much can we earn for our living expenses today?"
Determined to whip the guests into shape, Director Niu ignored their protests.
"Today's games are individual competitions. You'll each compete for yourselves, and whatever allowance you win will be yours to spend."
"The money will be allocated according to your ranking in each round. By the end of today's games, each person can earn 4-100,000 yuan."
"Forty to a hundred thousand? So even the minimum is forty thousand. That sounds pretty good." Xu Shuangrong smiled in relief.
Director Niu, however, gave her a meaningful smile.
"Pay attention. I didn't say forty thousand to a hundred thousand. I said four to a hundred thousand."
Xu Shuangrong paused, puzzled. "Aren't those the same thing?"
"Of course they aren't."
Xie Mi, the ultimate interpreter, stepped in with a click of her tongue. "He means the minimum is just four yuan."
Xu Shuangrong: "?"
So it wasn't forty thousand to a hundred
