After the guests gathered, Shen Wenxing also did a brief self-introduction, and the group took a bus from the Bai Tao Airport to the downtown area of Shaoqiu City.

On the way, the director once again emphasized that the theme of this episode was budget travel, so the guests weren't given money or transportation.

As for their phones, of course, the production team had helped collect them.

The director even instructed the staff to outwit the guests, collecting all the cash they had hidden in various places.

When they got off the bus, Liang Ji looked completely drained, crying about how cruel the production team was, while trying to find a place to beg for money. Ah no, he was trying to sell his talent to make some cash.

The director timely announced that the guests could only perform at the designated locations.

Since the venues were provided by the production team, the money earned by the guests from their performances had to be handed over 70% to the team.

The guests: "..."

Xu Xinxin turned to pull Zhong Lingshu aside, using a sarcastic tone to comment on the production team, "Sister Zhong, look at the production team. They could just take our money directly, but instead, they gave us a reason. Really, they're so kind-hearted."

Xue Jinshi sneered, "Even black-market moneylenders take more from you guys."

The director smiled shamelessly, then quickly ran off to the livestream van.

He had Lu Man hand over a map showing the designated performance locations to the guests, asking which one they'd like to choose.

Chi Qingzhou took the map and asked innocently, "Can we take it to discuss first?"

Lu Man: "Of course."

Chi Qingzhou walked back, and the guests gathered around to study the map.

Thanks to Zhong Lingshu having friends settled in Shaoqiu City, they quickly identified that out of the five locations marked by the director, one was a derelict building in a very remote area, another was opposite a local police station, and another was near a crematorium.

The guests: "..."

They exchanged looks and bravely said, "It's okay, there are still two more, right?"

Chi Qingzhou glanced at the name of one of the locations and shook his head, "That name is probably commonly used for cemeteries."

The guests: "..." They took a deep breath. "Well, there's still one left..."

A local resident of Shaoqiu City walked past them and, seeing them looking confused with the map, thought they were lost and kindly approached to offer help.

They quickly asked about the last location.

The kind-hearted citizen glanced at it, then immediately shook his head, "That's the famous funeral street here. Are you planning a funeral?"

The guests: "...No, we're just a little curious."

After the kind citizen left, the guests' resentful gazes immediately turned toward the host, Lu Man.

Is this kind of place a normal spot for performances?

And the director—seriously, are you okay in the head choosing these venues?

Lu Man shrugged, indicating that he didn't understand the director's reasoning either.

Liang Ji complained, "I think he just wants to torture us, make us walk there!"

Xu Xinxin thought for a moment, "It's not impossible?"

She looked at the others.

Chi Qingzhou easily lifted his suitcase, "I'm fine with it."

Chi Qingning immediately spoke up, "I've trained, walking over ten kilometers is no problem."

Zhong Lingshu and Tang Qichen also said they'd been increasing the intensity and frequency of their workouts recently, and even walking to the hot spring resort would be no trouble.

Shen Wenxing smiled slightly, "I often follow my cousin's morning routine, so I have the stamina."

Xue Jinshi's expression wasn't too pleasant, but when the guests looked at him, he nodded, saying he was fine.

Chi Qingzhou put away the map and smiled when the director said it had to be returned.

The director: "...It's not like I can't give it to you. Fine, whatever, since you're walking, you can keep it."

Chi Qingzhou smiled brightly, "Thank you, director."

They discussed the route and each picked up their suitcase before setting off along the street.

Shaoqiu City had a slow pace and a lively, human touch to it.

As they passed small street stalls, the guests saw a little girl accept a snack from the seller, a puppy jump out of the greenery to roll in front of her, and the girl immediately fed it a chicken strip. They couldn't help but laugh.

Chi Qingzhou's eyes sparkled, "This is so nice."

This kind of liveliness was wonderful.

Such a vibrant world, it was so good.

They all laughed and agreed.

For a moment, the atmosphere between the guests became incredibly warm, except for Xue Jinshi, who walked at the back with a cold face and lips that seemed slightly pale.

They chatted and laughed for over thirty minutes, and the sun started to get intense.

The one with the best stamina, Chi Qingzhou, wasn't even out of breath. Tang Qichen and Xu Xinxin only broke a slight sweat, and although Liang Ji, Zhong Lingshu, and Chi Qingning had increased their workout routines, they weren't feeling exhausted despite the heat.

The two guest stars were the surprising ones.

Shen Wenxing, like Chi Qingzhou, was dry and comfortable, with steady and relaxed steps that clearly showed he had good stamina.

On the other hand, Xue Jinshi was drenched in sweat, his shirt completely soaked through, his lips completely pale, and he was struggling to carry the oversized suitcase from the sponsor's company. His steps wobbled slightly.

Xu Xinxin, seeing him struggle, kindly approached to help carry his suitcase, but as soon as she touched it, her arm was yanked downward, and she nearly lost her balance.

She exclaimed in surprise, "What's in your suitcase? It's so heavy!"

Xue Jinshi's expression stiffened, and he instinctively shot her a sideways glance. "Just the usual things I need."

Xu Xinxin scoffed, letting go of the suitcase and unwilling to say more.

The other guests didn't believe this and stepped up to test the suitcase's weight. They all gasped.

This is way too heavy!

They all urged him to leave some things behind, "The production team will take care of your stuff."

Xue Jinshi, suppressing his irritation, responded, "It really is just the stuff I need."

The guests murmured "oh" in response.

Xue Jinshi was frustrated by their attitude and lost his temper. He tossed the suitcase to the ground, unzipped it, and showed them what was inside.
