Entertainment: Escape from the Stars

"The next blind box will appear at the Aegean Shopping Plaza between six and seven o'clock tomorrow night."

Still the same, when you get the blind box, you also get the time and location of the next appearance.

"Is there only one blind box every day?" Ning Zhou asked.

"Of course not. It can happen at random places, at any time, across the city. I wish everyone good luck."

After the staff finished speaking, they turned around and left. The three of them did not dare to waste time and left along the original road.

Coincidentally, the pursuer arrived here just five minutes after they drove, and for no other reason than to continue the road show to build momentum.

It was only the second day, and Huang Shengli was not in a hurry at all.

Even, I don't particularly want to see a fugitive caught in the first day or two.

Note, it's one person.

If the three people who arrived could be served in one pot, that would mean two things.

If only one person is caught, it will remind the other party to be more defensive.

From his point of view, hotels, farmhouses, and footbaths are all under control. It is a bit difficult to control all rental properties. After all, some landlords are not in Shanghai at all.

But you can learn about the situation through property management and other methods.

This is also equivalent to a dead end left by the pursuing party for the fugitives.

If it's just one or two days, maybe we can make do with it in the car, but in seven days, seven people will definitely have to find a hiding place.

While waiting for all the escapees to assemble, you can use the elimination method to eliminate every possibility.

Therefore, the eight people who just came here also focused on propaganda.

"Who dares to believe it? I was in Shanghai, a city that none of you have heard of. I went shopping for groceries and photographed Bai Lu. She is really beautiful."

A girl took a ten-second video and posted it online, which received hundreds of thousands of likes.

Not only hotels, but some restaurants also feel the difference from usual days today. Tourists from other places are really here.

The local government department has foreseen such a scenario. How seriously does it take it seriously?

The director of the transportation bureau directly took all the staff from all over the organization to the train station and shouted to the taxis with a loudspeaker.

"Whoever dares to raise prices arbitrarily is the enemy of the city!"

The Industry and Commerce Bureau invited a lot of foreign aid and made phone calls. Each hotel notified them that they were not allowed to increase prices. The director led people to visit privately.

The sanitation workers have received a raise in wages, the city government started decorating the city with colorful lights last night, and tourism has moved the time-honored brands from Shaxian County to the urban area.

Huang Rui is naturally very satisfied here. Hu Ming is probably the top student in the tourism industry.

The key point is that Shanghai-Ming City knows its own situation very well. There are actually no particularly interesting attractions in the city.

but!

The counties and cities below are awesome.

Taining, a national 5A-level tourist attraction, has dozens of scenic spots such as Dajin Lake.

Yong'an Taoyuan Cave, a four-A scenic spot, is where the longest skyline in the country is located.

Jianning, the hometown of lotus seeds, kiwi and yellow peaches, and the birthplace of the Minjiang River

These attractions all have brand new advertisements, which can be called a feast for the whole city.

Not only the surrounding area, but also many cities in other provinces are envious.

and!

Some were more proactive and contacted the program team, hey, can your next filming location be placed with us, and we promise to actively cooperate.

Of course, this is a digression. The reason why I say it is because it has something to do with both parties pursuing and fleeing.

According to incomplete statistics, on the second day of the cage match, more than 10,000 people have come to the urban area, and this is just the beginning. The day after tomorrow is the weekend, and I don’t know how many people will come.

The more people there are, the more difficult it will be for both sides.

Some people don't care whether you are filming a show or not. When they see a celebrity, they will come up and take pictures first.

Chasing the pursuer will increase distress.

Similarly, here as a fugitive, you could only encounter a hundred people walking on the street. Now there are ten more people, and the risk of exposure also increases.

Let’s see who makes better use of it.

After leaving Man Yuanchun, the three of them did not rush back, but found a place to park the car first.

Ning Zhou looked away from the bus on the side, and Miss Zhao opened the blind box.

"Congratulations, you successfully found the blind box.

A, get one point,

B. Obtain the right to use the safe house for four hours.

Please make your choice before 12pm. "

After Miss Zhao finished reading, she handed the card to Ning Zhou.

"It's still a multiple-choice question. The program team is desperate to cause trouble!"

Ning Zhou complained, it would be nice to just give him a reward, and it would be really annoying to make things difficult for himself.

"Don't worry, it's before twelve o'clock.

Let's take the mission and see how difficult it is first. "

After speaking, he contacted the program team without wasting any time.

[There are three tasks today.

The first item is to distribute leaflets within the designated area.

One thousand leaflets must be completed within three hours.

The second item is the parking lot toll collector.

The working time is four hours.

The third item, odd jobs at Golden Arches, no time limit.

Please note that if any task is abandoned during the process, the player will not be able to take on new work within 48 hours.

If the task fails, the player will not be able to take on new work for 24 hours.

The task is refreshed at twelve o'clock every night. Please make your choice within one hour, otherwise it will become invalid. 】

"It's like playing a game!"

Huang Zitao became interested after reading it.

"The most dangerous ones are probably the odd jobs at the Golden Arches, right?"

Golden Arches is also one of the sponsors of the program team, and the cooperation between the two parties is normal.

"Ning Zhou, have you distributed flyers?" Miss Zhao asked.

"I've been given it," Ning Zhou nodded: "When I first joined the company, I was a small salesman. It was the era of chain stores across the country, and new stores opened every day.

Propaganda is nothing more than sending text messages, cruising in vehicles, and handing out leaflets.

But there is no way to compare.

The state of mind at that time was different from now. There was no such thing as what would happen if someone was discovered. "

"A thousand copies, shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"No, you are wrong," Ning Zhou made an analogy: "Learn about swimming and fitness. You all know this stuff."

Huang Zitao smiled: "It must have been a joke a few years ago."

"Yes, you may not understand, but I know a little bit.

There are still flyers, but there are much fewer than before.

The main reason is that people don’t like to read or receive it, and printing it out is a waste of money.

I don’t know if it’s right or not, but those who like to use flyers to promote things may only be supermarkets at the moment.

The reason is simple.

A large number of people who go to supermarkets are middle-aged and elderly people who do not understand the emerging publicity methods.

It is most intuitive and effective to see the flyer in hand that says eggs are 2.5 yuan and pork is 12. "

"Hey, the program team didn't mention what was printed on the flyer just now, right?"

"It's probably a secret again."

"and,"

Ning Zhou pointed to the card and continued.

“The content of the three tasks seems simple, but actually there is a lot of information in them.

Three jobs, three completely different requirements.

The flyer limited the time for us and blocked the possibility of fishing first.

In the past, our company had no flyers, and some people were very bad. After getting the flyers, they would throw them directly into the trash can.

The requirement for this item is that it must be completed within three hours. I can’t judge the specific difficulty at the moment.

The second task is to charge parking fees, which seems to be simpler. "

"Because we are only given four hours of work, which is contrary to the first item!" Huang Zitao answered quickly.

"Yes, it can be understood that as long as we are not discovered, the risk is actually relatively small, and it is a waste of time.

Huang Zitao, you will accept this mission later.

After all, girls and young girls rarely charge fees. "

"No problem!" Huang Zitao nodded in agreement.

“The third item is that there are too many variables.

There are not only people eating in the Golden Arches, but also some people playing games, chatting, sleeping, and working inside.

Therefore, unlike other types of restaurants, the hotel will be closed immediately after the hotel is over. There are many emergencies, and the program team cannot summarize the rules, so there is no time limit at all.

Miss Zhao, come over! "

"Are you going to hand out flyers?" Miss Zhao asked.

"No!" Ning Zhou shook his head: "I won't go.

The whole family will be here in two days, why don't we be prepared?

The environment of the safe house is good, but we can't store all our treasures there. If we run out of time, we seven gourd babies wandering on the street must not be kidnapped by goblins in one go. "

All three laughed.

"Okay, then drive away."

"We don't need a car. We must go to some old communities and include bungalows. If we drive a Jaguar worth hundreds of thousands, there will be no problem even though we think there is something wrong with it.

When Miss Zhao drives away later, her mission can end at any time without being affected. "

"So, whether you can continue to live on the flat floor tonight depends mainly on me, right?"

Zhao Lushi felt a little stressed.

Even if the other two tasks are completed, you will still get three and a half hours, plus the one hour before Huang Zitao

"That's why I have to find a backup place to live. I think it's too difficult to do this task every day."

Time is time!

After the discussion, the three of them stopped talking and set off one after another!

Huang Zitao is the fastest.

He didn't even have to get in the car. After taking over the task, the same two staff members just appeared out of nowhere.

Walked, crossed a street, and arrived at the place.

This is a tic-tac-toe intersection, and Huang Zitao's place of work is right next to it. There are a total of fifty parking spaces.

The staff also explained that most of the urban areas in Shanghai and Ming Dynasty have smart parking. This place was contracted out two years ago, and the management rights belong to the nearby hotels, so they hired people to collect parking fees manually.

The show team solved the problem of dressing up that he was worried about.

I was given a reflective vest, a work ID, a QR code for payment, a hat, and a stack of bills.

The parking fee is five yuan and needs to be written by hand. After one hour, there will be an additional charge, which must be correct.

In other words, Huang Zitao's little plan failed.

He also planned to find a place to hide. In the end, it didn't matter even if he used his own money to pay the parking fee. It was a small problem, but the program team just blocked the road. How could it be so easy to accomplish!

In addition to the equipment on the body, the program crew also thoughtfully gave a small horse and a kettle filled with water.

At 1:20 p.m., Huang Zitao's job as a parking lot toll collector officially started.

Before he could even sit down, he saw the first car.

There is also an ancillary service for charging, which is to direct the reverse. There will be vehicles in more than half of the parking lots. Not all drivers have good driving skills, so he must step forward to help.

"Kill to the right. Good. Go back half a circle. Fall. Fall.. Fall. Stop. Very good!"

Huang Zitao lowered his voice. He was not sure if any of the passers-by were fans or viewers who were familiar with him, so he had to change his way of speaking and his tone.

After parking the car, he stepped forward and showed the QR code: "Five yuan an hour, three yuan an hour after that, capped at twenty-five yuan a day."

After the customer scanned the code, he locked the car and left without paying much attention to the young man in front of him.

It had just ended here when another vehicle entered, and Huang Zitao ran over without stopping.

He needs to cheer up. What is the best state of the parking lot? It is full.

As long as it's full, there's no need to host people at the back.

In comparison, Miss Zhao's work is much busier.

There are only five McDonald's in the entire urban area of ​​Shanghai and Ming, including Shaxian County. The one she went to was on the first floor of Wanda Plaza.

Yesterday Huang Zitao introduced that there are several business districts in the urban area, and Wanda is one of them with a relatively large flow of people.

Following the program crew's vehicle to the parking lot below the square, she met her teacher, the staff member of the dessert station.

Miss Zhao was initially relieved when she heard that she didn't have to serve in the lobby, but when Xiao Liu, her temporary teacher, said that the dessert station's business was better, she felt a little scared.

The entire store, including the chef in the back, has five regular employees. When it gets busier during lunch and dinner, temporary workers will come to help.

The good news is that the temporary workers change frequently and it is normal for them not to know each other.

The bad news is that in addition to Xiaoliu, Ms. Zhao is not only guarding against customers, but also the employees in the store.

After explaining for a while, Ms. Zhao changed into her work clothes. No matter how much she listened, it was not as good as practicing it herself.

Then, follow him up to the first floor.

As expected, the first floor is quite lively. Even on weekdays, there are still customers shopping.

Xiaoliu did not increase the difficulty here. After checking in, he took Miss Zhao into the dessert station, while the two people who were inside before got off work.

There are no guests at the moment, and Teacher Xiaoliu doesn't dare to delay.

“In summer, the best seller at our dessert station is definitely the cones, and during the event, the second one is half price.

You don’t have to worry about ordering, it’s all QR code outside, and after clicking, the order will be automatically placed.”

While he was talking, customers came to the door. It can be predicted that Miss Zhao will be very, very busy next.

Ning Zhou picked up another mobile phone, went to the roadside and took a taxi.

"Master, are there any cheaper hotels nearby?"

"Come to play from out of town?"

It can be seen that Ning Zhou is not the first tourist that Fang takes.

"Welcome to Huming."

After saying this, he took out a leaflet.

"I'm here for the stars. Look, this is a reward."

Gudu!

The sudden development made Ning Zhou touch his mustache unconsciously.

"Have you put all this in your car?"

"Isn't it?" The driver was a little proud: "Who would have thought that so many big stars would come to our small place.

I really want to thank them. Business has improved a lot. Don’t worry, the price of taxis will not increase. The starting price is seven yuan, and then the meter is used.

You can keep this flyer. If you catch Ning Zhou, it costs 70,000 yuan. If you get lucky, the travel expenses will be reimbursed to you. "

"Ah, there's such a good thing!"

Ning Zhou lowered his head and pretended to look at the reward notice.

"Is this a mission?"

"It's not a task," the driver said with a happy smile: "The company explained it, it's not a difficult task, and we are encouraged to arrest people.

But that's so easy.

My wife is a fan of Zhao Lushi. When I see it, I must tell her.

By the way, where did you say you were going? "

"Oh, I found that the hotels here are fully booked. Are there any accommodations that can be rented for a short period of time? It should not be too expensive."

"It's normal. Last night I invited a guest and went to several hotels before I found an empty room. It's like this in a small place. Suddenly a group of people came and the reception capacity was limited.

Otherwise, go live in Shaxian County. I'll take you to the station. It only costs one yuan to get down. "

I have to say that from this point of view, the Shanghai-Ming Municipal Government has done a good job.

The taxi driver did not want to go down alone, but to let the customer take the bus.

"It's okay. Just help me find a hotel. It'll cost about 200 yuan a day."

After Ning Zhou saw the reward notice, he was still a little timid and did not dare to ask about the short-term rental house.

Although he did not recognize himself, if he chatted with his friends and spread the word, it might reach the ears of the pursuer.

There is nothing wrong with hitting a pole with or without dates.

"Okay, this is a chain hotel. A hundred yuan is enough. Now the city is trying to raise prices randomly. If the price is wrong, you can report it!"

A few minutes later, outside a Super 8, the driver stopped the car and gave a warm reminder.

"Thanks!"

Ning Zhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was still in the urban area, and the surroundings looked quite lively.

If the city is unfamiliar, the speed at which nature unfolds will be affected.

Huang Zitao checked some information online last night. There was a rental house near Wanda, where many migrant workers lived.

However, from the fugitive's point of view, there is no consideration.

There is no comparison in scale with Huadu.

There are about twenty buildings there, all of which are resettlement houses, with the highest seven floors. Almost all the landlords live on the top floor. Not only is management convenient, it also means easy inquiry.

Especially those who stayed in these two days, there is absolutely no escape.

It can only be said that the increase in bounties has given Ning Zhou a headache.

In the past, I could go to my fans and ask for some help, but now I don't dare to do so.

Sad

"Let's go to Chengguan and have a look!"

After searching for a while, I found that the locals said that the development of the other area would be slightly worse. Ning Zhou no longer hesitated and only had the right to speak after on-site inspection.

At the same time, twelve pursuers were arranged in groups of two and distributed in various areas of the city.

They also understand the purpose of their actions in this cage match, which is people-oriented.

There are more than 20 people in a city worth 400,000 people. If you want to catch seven people, it will be impossible unless you are lucky.

The program team restricted escapees to only urban areas. If you foolishly search for them by yourself, you would be a fool.

It's good for them to show up occasionally. In addition to completing the task, it also makes their faces look good.

No matter where I go, there are always cheers and filming.

Enter Douyin and other video platforms, and you can watch them with just a swipe.

"Seventy thousand to capture Ning Zhou!"

This entry has been trending on Weibo and short videos. Many friends from out of town are shouting and thinking about traveling to meet celebrities and see if they can make a fortune.

This is also the main policy of Huang Shengli's propaganda. You are here, why don't you give it a try? If you really catch people, it is equivalent to a free trip and you can go back with more money.

The current stage is equivalent to the nest-making stage of fishing, and the net will be collected in a few days.

The live broadcast room was also much more lively.

While watching the show, we were also discussing real-time developments.

Many fans were quite regretful that they wanted to go but could not go, but this did not affect their enthusiasm and continued to encourage those who were hesitating.

Ning Zhou sat on the roadside and checked his cell phone for a while, then went to the opposite side and boarded a bus casually.

This is the advantage of a small city. The destinations of many trains are not exactly the same, but they are all in the same area.

He didn't have an exact destination in the first place. If he walked around, he might gain different results.

Maybe it was the afternoon, or maybe it was the hot weather, but there were not many people on the bus Ning Zhou chose. Only about one-third of the people took the bus, and most of them were elderly people.

As always, sitting in the last row, head down, pretending to look at the phone.

Passengers were going up and down, passing through more than a dozen stops. Ning Zhou suddenly stood up and followed the people in front of him to get off the bus.

According to the site name announced on the bus, it was still some distance before we reached Chengguan. The reason why we got off the bus was because we saw the real estate on the roadside.

"Qinyuan Spring is grandly opened, and prosperity and tranquility are blended together. The current house is 8*** yuan."

From afar, Ning Zhou saw the huge sign on the wall.

This is not a construction site. From the outside, it looks neat and clean. The windows are all installed. There is a high probability that the houses for sale are fully furnished.

So

Ning Zhou just planned to go and have a look.

As a result, he couldn't even get in. It wasn't because of the doorman, but because the sales department was not far from the door. He still tucked his white shirt into his pants on several hot sales days. He just made the necessary decision. As he entered the door, the other party seemed to be planning to rush over.

"Can't come in, can't come in!"

The real estate salesman has a strong ability to observe people's emotions, so he couldn't stand being stared at, so he quickly turned around.

The wall on the roadside is not high. Anyone can climb over it, let alone Ning Zhou.

It's just broad daylight, with people coming and going, so it's not suitable to enter like this.

However, Ning Zhou took note of the approximate site and planned to talk about it later.

Returning to the bus stop again, there was an old man waiting for the bus.

"Uncle, I'd like to ask you something, where is the cheapest place to rent a house in Chengguan?"

The uncle was kind-hearted: "You want to rent a house, right? It's quite cheap in Chengguan. Two bedrooms and one living room cost about 1,500 yuan. It has all the appliances and so on."

If you want it cheaper, go to Fuxingbao. There are old communities and houses there, and you can rent them for three to five hundred yuan.

Just take bus No. 19 and get off at the terminal. "

"thank you."

The road is at your doorstep, isn’t it here?

When the old man got on the bus, he didn't forget to turn around and remind him: "No. 19, don't take the wrong bus."

After waving goodbye, the No. 19 bus came.

I'm not lying. After the vehicle drove for a while, it turned a corner and went up a hill. It was obvious that the street scene on the roadside had changed. It felt like an old city.

“What a great place.”

(Thank you to the keyeyes boss for the 2000 point reward. Happy New Year, boss!) (End of this chapter)
