Chapter 98: Let Older Sister Catch Fish

Chapter 98: Let Older Sister Catch Fish 

The production team’s publicity risk assessment and control team discovered the situation right away.

Before the current chat room, there were already numerous remarks against the Sullivan sisters.

The responsible team reported the matter to the director right away.

However, the director's side only told them to not worry about it.

They were even asked to not bother the paid trolls who were accusing and commenting negativelyabout the sisters.

The director was originally worried that the live broadcast might turn out boring because it couldn't beedited and therefore couldn't artificially cause contradictions.

If there was not a single contradiction, there wouldn't be an intense situation.

Where would a selling point or discussion come from then? As for the pair of Sullivan sisters, theyweren't actually late.

They even left their house earlier than the other two groups.

Unfortunately, their designated houses were simply too far away from the location the production teamset.

On contrary, the group closest to it was Avery and Noah which were only a few steps away.

Reasonable netizens who had noticed this spoke up in the chat room.

Unfortunately, compared to Avery and Noah's powerful fanbase consisting of shippers, the logicalpoints some netizens commented had long been drowned by the fanbase’s complaints and ridicules.

Sarah looked around and took the initiative to apologize to the other two groups for being late.

The Clark brothers naturally didn't mind it but Avery thought differently.

Deep inside, Avery disdained the pair of sisters but she still had to act generously.

"It's fine.We didn't wait for long."

Sarah was aware that Avery was targeting her but she could do nothing about Avery.

Who asked her to have a lower status and fewer fans? In the end, she had no choice but to endure it.

Melody stood silently at the side, as usual, facing them, without moving a single muscle.

She was too lazy and didn't even bother knowing what was going on let alone care about it.

Besides, if Sarah did not even know how to fight back when others were targeting her, then she wouldbe a hopeless case.

Why would Melody waste her effort on someone who couldn't be saved? In the end, the silent war diedupon Rachel's arrival.

Now that everyone was present, the production team started announcing the rules.

The director stood up, facing the crowd with a smile.

With just a single glance, anyone could tell that he didn't have any good motives.

The happier he was, the more the participants would suffer.

The production team even purposely gave the smiling director a close-up and, on the spot, inserted adrawing of a little devil and a speech bubble that said, 'Get ready for trouble!’

"The rules for today are simple.The competition would be on catching fish and live broadcastpopularity.The first place gets to eat cooked food.The last place, on contrary, will receive punishmentand will be the servant of the other two groups, they will be the ones who will cook the food and willeven do the cleaning."

Indeed, the rules were simple.

The temptation for the first place wasn't big, however, the punishment for the last place wasn't small.

After understanding the rules, Sarah's face collapsed in an instant.

She turned her head and looked at Melody timidly, and asked in a low voice, "Mellie, do you know howto catch fish?"

Sarah, a second-generation rich kid, had never touched fish since she was a child let alone catch them.

The only thing she could do now was hope that Melody knew how to catch fish from living in thecountryside.

When Sarah was watching TV, she often saw children from the countryside going to the river to catchfish.

In a soft voice and with an expression as cold as ever, she casually answered, "I haven't tried it."

Sarah felt completely depressed upon hearing Melody's answer.She faced the camera with a cryingface.

There weren't any tears, but she looked like she was really about to cry.

She quietly took off her earphones and leaned close to Melody's ear, whispering, "Mellie, should I notifymy best friends to help us? Receiving gifts could also increase popularity.We don't need the first place

as long as we don't end up in the last place.I don't want to clean for others and I don't want to cookeither!"

Melody didn't like to clean either.She knew how to cook but she didn't want to cook for so many people.

Cooking for Sarah had already exhausted her, let alone cooking for so many people.

Melody’s thoughts didn't show on her face.

Cold as usual, her voice a little low, she replied, "Do whatever you want."

Since Melody didn't have any objections, Sarah secretly started making arrangements.

However, it seemed like she had underestimated the strictness of the production team.She couldn'teven get her phone, let alone contact her best friends to help her.

In desperation, the most Sarah could do was hope that she was lucky enough to catch a few fish to fillthe gap.

The production team sent the same diving swimwear.

The uniformity of the clothes really highlighted the importance of good looks.Everyone stood side byside, forming a straight line.

From start to finish, Melody hadn't said a single word but her pretty face was enough to shock theaudience watching the live broadcast.

The chat room went crazy over her face again.

[ holy-- sarah's sisTER EVEN LOOKS PRETTIER THAN AVERY]

[ hey, the person above my comment, how dare you compare her with our Avery?? you want to useavery's name for fame, did we agree? did avery agree???]

[I'm just a human passing by~ I turned into a fan.it's true that the Sullivan sisters are prettier thanAvery.Sarah looked like she's a daughter of a rich family, the kind with high status ]

[Rich family with high status your face she hadn't even made it big after so long and look at what hersister is wearing there isn't even a logo.Are street vendors top-notch designers? she's so pretentioushow impressive ]

[ Your opinion isn't valid.You're not even using proper capitalizations nor had you used singlepunctuation.]

The chat room was very active, with more than one comment popping up every second.

Fans were frantically discussing what rank a duo would get.

In variety shows, there were often fights and tricks.

The most outstanding out of all the groups was Avery and Noah's team.

Noah was lucky and he caught a fish as soon as he went to the river.

Avery proudly raised the basket, showing the fish to the camera for her little fans, who were watchingthe live broadcast.

"My babies, our team is quite lucky today.I hope I could share this luck with the kids from themountains! Anyway, let's work hard everyone!"

As an idol, things Avery could say to her fans were limited.

At the least, she just couldn't tell them to spend money to support her.If she did, she was bound to getridiculed.

The production team had previously mentioned that the income from the gifts would be donated to thechildren from poor mountainous areas.

They also said that they will settle the charity before the next live broadcast started.

So what Avery said was the disguised version of asking her fans to give her gifts to help with herranking.

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the chat room exploded.

Fans often go crazy for their idols.

Coupled with tying it to the word ‘charity, it even seemed quite natural.

In just a moment, Avery's live broadcast continuously received gifts to the point that she exceeded theother three teams.

While Avery thanked her fans, she couldn't help but get extremely pleased internally.

In a variety show like this, if she didn't take the first place, then who would? As for those small internetcelebrities who dared to join the variety show and rub off some popularity from someone like her, Averythought that she was someone they couldn't afford to mess with.

Contrary to Avery's team, which was thriving, Sarah's group was quite bleak and helpless.

Sarah's clothes had been soaked for a long time but she still hadn't caught a single fish.

She was so angry that she repeatedly stomped her feet.

On the other hand, Melody leisurely leaned against the tree by the shore, her face peaceful as she tooka nap.

She didn't intend to go anywhere near the water at all.

Because of this, Sarah's live broadcast room was active, but for a negative reason.

They were all scolding Melody.

It was as if people, who were unhappy for another reason, came to vent their anger on her.

All the other three groups had caught some fish, only Sarah's group had nothing.

Even the Clark brothers beside them were getting worried in their stead.

Inigo looked at Sarah and jokingly said, "Why don't you ask your sister to help you? Perhaps you'llhave a better chance together!"

Sarah had a faint smile on her face.

There was not a single trace of panic in her eyes nor was there any complaint in it.

She replied, "It's fine.My sister had done a lot of work this morning.She's probably tired now.Let herrest! Seeing that Sarah didn't care, the Clark brothers didn't say anything anymore and gave upconvincing her.
