Chapter 2: First Round Theme: Fraud
Chapter 2: Theme of the first round: Fraud
system? !
Ye Xuan was delighted when he heard the voice in his head.

He said that other people who traveled through time had systems to help them, so how could it be possible that he had nothing and had to fight with bare hands?

But there were other people in the room now, so he couldn't show too much emotion.

So he could only check the information in his mind with a blank expression.

An electronic screen suddenly flashed before his eyes.

His pupils shrank slightly, noticing that no one else around him reacted.

It seems that only I can see this screen.

The functions of this system are displayed at the top of the screen, including happiness value, mall, backpack and character attributes.

[I just heard the system say there is a novice gift pack, so I quickly took a look. ]

He found a novice gift pack in his backpack—a reward for photographic memory.

After he opened it directly with his mind, he felt a little pain in his eyes that made him close his eyes. Then he felt his mind suddenly become clear.

At the same time, the label "Photographic Memory" appeared in the skill column on his character attribute panel.

Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes became more lively than before.

If an outsider looked at him, they might not be able to tell what had changed, but they would definitely feel that Ye Xuan's eyes were captivating.

Ye Xuan couldn't wait to take a piece of paper in front of him and read the information on it, then put the paper down and recalled it in his mind.

When he felt he had recalled most of the information, he lifted the paper and looked at it again.

[I actually wrote it down word for word! ]

He put down the paper in surprise, closed his eyes, and began to recall and organize the scattered thoughts in his mind.

After acquiring the skill, the brain seemed to become much sharper, as if a rusty and short-circuited machine had been connected and updated.

The original owner's fragmented memories and his vague memories of his previous life became much clearer.

Ye Xuan was delighted, as this gave him more confidence in the next competition.

With the memories of the original owner and the previous life, maybe he could really cope with the competition and get a good ranking in the competition.

He searched his mind for countless comedy-related things and was surprised to find that he had seen so many comedy-related things without realizing it.

Apart from anything else, the must-see Spring Festival Gala skits every year can provide him with a lot of material.

Not to mention the various funny videos I saw on the Internet in my previous life, which is simply an endless source of material.

Full of confidence, he looked at the happiness value and the mall introduction again.

Happiness value, as the name suggests, is the data that brings happiness to the audience.

Every time you make someone laugh, you can gain 1 happiness point from them, with no upper limit.

In other words, the more people watch the live broadcast room and the more times the audience laughs, the more happiness he will get.

The happiness points he obtains can be used to purchase items in the mall and unlock mall levels.

商城一共有1-9级，如今只开启了1级商城，想解锁2级商城需要10万点欢乐值。

At this time, most of the items in the Level 1 mall are disposable props and physical objects. A few also have items for sale that can enhance character attributes and gain skills, but they are all very expensive.

The happiness value can also be converted into RMB, but it is not worth it. 1 happiness value can only be converted into 10 RMB, but 10 happiness values ​​can be used to purchase one-time items such as "1 second persuasiveness enhancement" in the mall.

Ye Xuan took a look and found that there was 0 happiness value in his account, a pure novice blank account.

However, the competition is conducted in the form of live broadcast. As soon as the competition officially starts, the live broadcast room in each room will be flooded with viewers.

At that time, as long as he can make the audience laugh, he will definitely be able to gain happiness points to buy things in the mall to help him cope with the competition.

With these two things, Ye Xuan felt that he was sure to win.

Now all he had to do was wait for the judges to announce the theme of the competition and prepare for it carefully. He looked at the big screen, and at that moment the three judges had discussed the theme of the competition.

The camera gave a close-up of the three people.

In the room, Ouyang Mi and Tian Yu were looking at the big screen nervously.

Even though they have been preparing for the competition for a long time, they are competing against ninety-nine other groups and performing in front of such top judges, which will also be broadcast live to all the audience.

They feel a lot of pressure and just hope that the questions are within their area of ​​expertise.

The contestants in other rooms were not far behind.

In such occasions, no one is not nervous except those veterans with rich experience in stage shows.

Under the tense gaze of everyone in the room.

Zhou Xingxing raised the sign in his hand.

Seeing the words above, all the contestants in front of the screen were stunned.

"Fraud."

"After discussion among the three of us, we unanimously decided to use this topic as the theme for the first round of the competition."

Zhou Xingxing said to the host seriously.

Xiao Sa immediately took over the topic and said to Zhou Xingxing with a smile.

"This is not a common topic. It seems to be a very serious matter and it is difficult to find a funny point. Can I ask the three judges why they chose fraud as the theme?"

Chen Sicheng took over the topic and said.

"It is precisely because this is a serious matter that we need to see the creativity of the contestants."

"The difficulty and level of comedy lies here. If this topic is not handled well, it can easily go astray or make people feel embarrassed and disgusted."

“But if it’s handled well, it can fully demonstrate the contestants’ creative abilities. I think it’s a good litmus test.”

Xiao Sa nodded and spoke to the camera.

"The judges gave difficult questions at the beginning, but I think as long as the contestants think carefully, they will be able to overcome this difficulty."

"The theme of the first game has been announced. Next, the team members in each room will have one hour to create the script and decorate the room. At the same time, from now on, the live broadcast of each room will be opened. Interested viewers can choose their favorite live broadcast room, vote for them, and send them to the main control screen."

After hearing the words of the judges and the host, sighs were heard in every room.

"It's over, it's over, this topic is too biased!"

"That's right, how can fraud be involved with comedy?"

"I have no idea. This is too difficult!"

Many groups cried out in grief at the first opportunity.

According to everyone's habitual thinking, comedy must of course be associated with great and glorious or sad and funny things.

Scam?

It's totally unheard of.

Many people watched a lot of classic works before the competition, and wanted to learn from them, but they had never seen any works related to fraud.

What a crazy person!

They wailed in their hearts but dared not speak out loud.

I could only accept my fate and ponder over it, sitting on the sofa in silence.
