At that thought, Zhang Yue hurriedly turned on her computer and began seriously planning Chu Yu's schedule for after she successfully transitioned her career.
A few more minutes passed before Chu Yu, her brother, and the other guests finally finished this round on the drop tower.

Chapter 19
The guests got off the drop tower one after another, every face deathly pale. Clearly, they had been badly frightened.
An Yu quickly jogged over to his sister and asked worriedly, "Sis, did that scare you?"
An Ya was among those who recovered fairly quickly. In just that short time, her complexion had returned to normal. She shook her head. "I'm fine. I just didn't expect the drop tower to be so scary."
"Urgh..."
Wen Zhixin had it worse. The moment she got off, she clutched her stomach, about to throw up.
Wen Tianqi also looked shaken, standing in a corner with a hand over his chest without saying another word.
Finally, Chu Yu got off the drop tower looking completely relaxed and turned to her brother beside her. "Was that fun? Want to go again?"
Chu Chen, who still hadn't recovered, immediately scowled. "Just shut up!"
Only then did Chu Yu sigh and stop teasing Chu Chen.
[Ahahahahaha, I suddenly get how the Chu siblings interact.]
[Seriously, this is how I usually get along with my little brother too. Isn't this perfectly normal? Why are so many people flaming her?]
[...Are those people defending Chu Yu paid water army she hired?]
After the drop tower experience ended, the production team set aside some time for the guests to rest.
Seeing the color gradually return to the guests' faces, the director walked over with a smile, script in hand.
"How's everyone feeling after that rest?"
The moment they heard that familiar tone from the director, all the guests' faces darkened.
With the director acting like this, he was probably about to stir up trouble again.
However, the director didn't notice the guests' resentment and soon announced their next activity. "Sisters and brothers, the next experience we need to check off is the highlight of this one-day amusement park trip-the roller coaster."
Although the guests didn't look the least bit interested, the director still dutifully explained it for the camera:
"As one of this amusement park's famous attractions, the inverted roller coaster offers an incredibly thrilling ride, which makes it extremely popular with young visitors. I'm sure everyone must be really looking forward to it!"
His words were met with utter silence. There wasn't a single response.
Looking forward to it, my ass!
We were practically scared to death, okay?
Even Wen Zhixin, who usually loved the limelight, kept her head lowered at this point, unwilling to join the conversation.
Wen Tianqi's eyes were full of hesitation, and he also looked unwilling to try anything else.
Clearly, the terror of the drop tower had left a psychological shadow over everyone.
The director was left standing there awkwardly too.
He gave a couple of dry chuckles. "Come on, cheer up, everyone. This roller coaster really isn't scary at all. Just close your eyes, lean back, and it'll be over."
He had barely finished speaking when a burst of piercing screams from the visitors rang out from the inverted roller coaster next door.
That made the words he had just spoken sound thoroughly unconvincing.
They were screaming like that?
And he called it not scary?
The corner of Chu Chen's mouth twitched as he looked at the director. "Didn't you say the guests weren't required to take part? Then I should be able to decide for myself not to participate, right?"
Thankfully, Chu Yu had asked a staff member about it earlier, which had conveniently given the other guests a loophole in the rules to exploit.
The production team had arranged a one-day amusement park trip for the guests, but they hadn't actually required the guests to participate.
So now the guests were all beginning to rebel.
For once, Wen Zhixin was also on the same side as Chu Chen. She looked up and agreed, "Exactly. Little Sister Xiao Yu asked you about it earlier. Since you said the guests wouldn't be forced to participate, I think it's perfectly reasonable for us to choose not to."
This time, the director was dumbfounded.
This episode was counting on the guests going on the rides to produce its big moments.
Now that nobody wanted to participate, how was the livestream supposed to continue?
Chu Yu, however, didn't pay any attention to this. Either way, it made no difference to her whether she participated.
Ignoring the production team's affairs, she turned and took a can of sunscreen spray out of her bag. After spraying herself, she casually handed it to Chu Chen.
"Here, spray some sunscreen on. Don't get sunburned."
Still angry with her, Chu Chen had a ball of fire bottled up inside. "No!"
Chu Yu gave Chu Chen an odd look. "Oh, fine. But if you get tanned and none of the girls like you, don't blame me for not warning you."
Chu Chen instantly bristled. "What do you even keep in that head of yours all day?!"
Chu Yu answered as though it were only natural, "Knowledge, of course."
Chu Chen: "...I'm speechless. Can you stop talking to me?"
Chu Yu pursed her lips. "Fine."
With that, she turned toward the production team. "So, Director, when are we doing the next activity?"
The director lowered his script with a troubled frown and heaved a long sigh. "Well, none of the guests want to keep participating..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the director's dim eyes gradually lit up. Seeing Chu Yu's relaxed expression, he smacked his forehead hard.
"Oh, right! Look at my memory. I almost forgot we still have Sister Chu. Sister Chu, it hasn't been easy keeping this show streaming through today. If nobody goes on today, we'll really have nothing to air. How about... giving it a try, Sister Chu?"
Chu Yu instinctively glanced at the guests around her, only to find them all wearing cold expressions that said, "I refuse."
She withdrew her gaze and thought for two seconds.
After all, she had joined the variety show to successfully transition her career.
