Chapter 749: Chapter 748: Mastering Lightness Skill on Water
After lunch, it’s makeup time.
This process takes place in each person’s room, and it’s quick. Unlike this morning, this time the ugly makeup is done with a mirror.
Mu Qiu watched as her face turned ugly, so ugly it washed away her sleepiness.
"Makeup artist, sister! My sister! Go easy on me!" She grabbed the makeup artist’s hand to stop her, trying to look pitiful by trembling her lips and blinking her eyes.
The two makeup artists were trying hard to suppress their laughter.
"Acting pitiful with this look has the reverse effect."
"..."
She opened her mouth and ultimately consoled herself with a forced laugh:
"It’s okay, it’s okay, there are others uglier than me, it’s okay, it’s oka... wait, why are you putting a mole on me!? That’s not a necessary artistic creation!"
Makeup artist: "I made a bet with the other makeup artists. Whoever can make the ugly makeup look more aesthetically pleasing can get a family backstage pass for your show tomorrow."
Mu Qiu: "Do you really think bringing family to watch the show is a beautiful experience?"
"Whether the stage looks good doesn’t matter, as long as the people do. Don’t worry, you’ll remove this makeup quickly."
She muttered thoughtfully: So, the game this round is about the designated makeup remover?
Soon after, the makeup was done. Mu Qiu covered her face with two tissues and sneakily went downstairs to assemble.
Just as she went down, she bumped into Guan Yu lingering at the staircase on the first floor.
She turned around.
Mu Qiu: "...So stunning, it almost blinds me."
Guan Yu pouted: "You’re no exception, did they use ink to splash freckles on your face?"
"...Someone called these freckles! Is your eyesight messed up by that plastic green eyeshadow?!"
"What’s nearsightedness, I wish I were blind."
Guan Yu drooped her brows and mouth, holding onto the staircase to muster the courage to go out.
At this moment, Shi Yuhuai slowly walked over from the first floor, glancing at them as he passed by.
That one glance was "astonishing."
Mu Qiu: "Pfft——"
Guan Yu: "Good thing I immediately closed my eyes."
Mu Qiu chuckled with squinted eyes: "Brother Huai, how did your highland red turn into a palette?"
Shi Yuhuai raised his hand to rub, only wiping off a bit of red on his hand.
"Where’s a mirror?" he asked.
"Maybe in the restroom?" Mu Qiu leaned against the railing, saying, "But the restroom in my room was blocked by them, probably yours too? Then you’ll have to go outside and find a spot to admire yourself more."
"Aren’t you leaving yet?" Li Yang ran out of the room, holding a headband he dared not wear.
Having seen Guan Yu and Shi Yuhuai’s faces, his makeup didn’t look too scary anymore.
Mu Qiu responded, "Let’s go."
Everyone gathered and followed the staff toward the scenic area in front of the Shell House.
This time the clothes changed to quick-dry clothing, so the second game is likely related to water.
And also a game related to makeup removal.
Mu Qiu paid attention to the things held by the staff outside the camera and the surrounding area. There were many tall trees here, with canopies sheltering and filtering most of the heat, making the area below much cooler than the previous grass sliding field.
From the rightmost Shell House, turning the corner is the place with black clay sculptures that Chuchu mentioned earlier.
It’s like a small amusement area, with swings and climbing nets set up on the side.
But now the most prominent feature is the huge inflatable swimming pool in the center.
Others had already exclaimed.
"The pool game!"
"Are we starting water play? Let me see which female director came up with the game."
"Real water play! Cool!"
"Will the water remove makeup?"
"I like this game!"
"What’s with the straps above? Why are there so many suspenders over the pool?!"
The inflatable pool was wrapped with wide white straps, crisscrossing to split the pool into many small equal water holes.
There were also four fixed pillars around the pool, with horizontal brackets welded at the tops, holding many suspenders.
The suspenders had waist belts on them, obviously for players to wear.
Mu Qiu leaned on the inflatable pool edge, reaching for the yellow duck and pink Pai Daxing toys in the pool, and pulling at the suspenders with her other hand.
"Is it to walk on these white fabric strips tied to the ropes?"
The director gave her a mysterious smile.
Li Yang screeched: "These are fabric strips, not wooden boards, can’t stand stably!"
"Just fall in if you can’t stand," Guan Yu was indifferent, even a bit excited, "Otherwise, why make a pool below? Why not suspend in the air?"
Li Yang: "Guan Yu sister, why are you so excited?"
Shu Ran crossed her arms and glanced at him, answering on her behalf: "Because she can watch you all get wet~."
Li Yang: "!!!"
...
"Welcome everyone to the second game, Floating on Water with Light-Kungfu.
As you can see, across the inflatable pool, intersecting white wide fabric cuts the cross section into 42 squares, with 30 total dangling cross points underneath equipped with pressure sensors that detect if someone is standing on them.
Each guest ties the suspenders standing on the fabric cross points, engaging in a human tick-tack-toe game. Whenever five people line up, a random chance will shoot transparent balls containing notes to you all outside the pool. Whoever catches the transparent ball gets the designated makeup removal and cosmetic product.
This game follows a point deduction system calculated by scores. From the previous game, the ranks from first to sixth place respectively receive points from 60 points, 50 points to 10 points. In this round, each group gets 60 points upfront. During gameplay, if anyone falls into the pool, points will be deducted accordingly.
The principle is that falling into the pool from a central intersection deducts three points, and from a border intersection deducts five points. Since people standing at the edge are more likely to catch the transparent balls, opportunity and risk coexist.
Any questions?
"None!"
Guan Yu was already eager to climb into the pool at any moment.
Mu Qiu held her back: "Compose yourself, Sister Guan Yu, Li Yang is scared and ran to the other side."
Guan Yu waved it off: "Doesn’t matter if he runs, we still have Lin Lian."
"You really won’t let Lin Lian off!" She turned gravely to tell Lin Lian, "You must be careful of her, when necessary, rather lose points falling in water than falling into her hands."
Lin Lian: "...Okay, Sister Mu Qiu."
Li Yang lay on the other side of the pool, sympathetically watching Lin Lian. Next to him, Shu Ran was still seriously pondering the game rules.
"To remove makeup, it’s crucial to get the transparent balls; to get the transparent balls, you must make a tick-tack-toe with others and stand at the edge... Li Yang, we’ll have to form an alliance."
