I put you on a dating reality show, but I didn't make you a viral sensation!

Because Lu Xiao is a former athlete, his physical strength and reaction speed far exceed those of ordinary people. Several girls couldn't help but look at him, since teaming up with him meant winning the priority right to choose a sea-view room.

Su Man, being the most direct of them all, took the lead and walked over, smiling as she spoke:

"Lu Xiao, I also enjoy sports. How about we team up? With our combined physical strength, winning first place shouldn't be too difficult."

Lu Xiao was clearly unsure how to handle this situation and was momentarily bewildered. After a moment's realization, she subconsciously nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's team up then!"

Upon hearing this, the remaining two girls showed a hint of regret on their faces, realizing that they had both missed the best opportunity and regretted not taking the initiative earlier.

They all knew very well that without Lu Xiao, their strongest support, their chances of winning first place would be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, the production team set up two sea-view rooms, so even if Lu Xiao and his team won first place, there was still a second sea-view room to choose from.

However, this also means that they need to choose a relatively strong teammate in order to guarantee a second-place finish.

The remaining two girls quickly scanned back and forth between Jiang Yi and Shen Jiashu, weighing the pros and cons in their minds.

Jiang Yi is a moderately famous idol in the entertainment industry. He has an outstanding appearance and a great sense of camera presence. In order to maintain his figure, he probably works out regularly, so his physical strength should be quite good.

As the founder of the startup, Shen Jiashu seems easy to get along with, but compared to Jiang Yi, who exercises regularly, he is probably slightly inferior in terms of physical fitness.

Lin Zhou was naturally not within their considerations. Even if he had good stamina, the popularity and traffic he would bring would be far less than the previous two.

Their purpose in coming to this show is simply to gain viewership.

Moreover, Jiang Muxue is so beautiful, and they are very happy to see her and Lin Zhou locked in a relationship.

Naturally, none of them would compete for this opportunity.

Jiang Yi took in the hesitation of the two girls and immediately made a plan in his mind.

His goal in coming to this show was very clear—to create a CP (couple pairing) with Xia Wanxing and ride on their popularity to further his career.

As for Jiang Muxue, it was just a selfish desire of his that aroused his lust. In terms of traffic and revenue, it was far less practical than being associated with Xia Wanxing.

Thinking of this, he immediately withdrew his gaze from Jiang Muxue, put on his well-practiced gentle smile, and took two steps toward Xia Wanxing.

"Wanxing, how about we team up? I work out regularly, so I should be able to handle the beach activities. I'll try my best to get you a sea-view room."

Xia Wanxing naturally knew what the other party was thinking, but she had no choice. If she refused in public, it would not only make the scene awkward, but also affect the subsequent mission.

Moreover, if we can have a better house to live in, what's wrong with cooperating for a short time?

She suppressed her reluctance, forced a perfectly timed smile, and nodded slightly: "Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to bear with me, Teacher Jiang."

The cameraman also took the opportunity to give it a close-up.

Immediately, the fans of the Yixing CP in the live broadcast room went wild, and the screen was filled with messages like "They're a perfect match" and "They're locked in together."

Lin Jianwei, having no other choice, turned and walked towards Shen Jiashu, who had been standing quietly to the side, breaking the awkward silence with a smile:

"Teacher Shen, shall we be in the same group? I don't care about the ranking, I just want to have fun."

Shen Jiashu would naturally not refuse; on the contrary, it would be most embarrassing if no one chose him in the end.

He smiled and said, "That suits me perfectly. I also think winning or losing isn't important; as long as we have fun, that's all that matters."

Therefore, only Lin Zhou and Jiang Muxue had no choice left on the field.

"Shall we be in the same group?"

Lin Zhou turned to look at Jiang Muxue, seeking her opinion.

Jiang Muxue didn't think too much about it and immediately nodded.

"I...I'm not very physically fit, so I might hold you back."

From Jiang Muxue's perspective, Lin Zhou was the first friend she made after arriving on the island, so she would definitely choose him.

Who else could she choose if not him? In her eyes, the other male guests were no different from strangers.

"It's okay, winning or losing doesn't matter, just have fun."

"Um……"

At this point, the group assignments for the guests have been officially completed.

Once the four pairs were finalized, the staff immediately announced loudly, "Congratulations on successfully forming pairs! Please change into your gear and meet at the beach in ten minutes. Our first challenge is about to begin!"

Soon, the four groups of guests arrived at the beach one after another, and each of them changed into the team uniforms provided by the production team.

To make grouping easier, the four groups wore different colored team uniforms.

They are dressed in four colors: red, yellow, blue, and green, and each has a corresponding number on its body, making it easier for viewers to distinguish their respective identities.

The team uniforms were short, quick-drying tracksuits. The men's uniforms were fitted short-sleeved shirts with five-point athletic shorts, while the women's uniforms were tops with high-waisted A-line skirts. The skirts were just the right length to mid-thigh, making the female guests look like they had long, slender, and straight legs. As they walked on the beach, the sea breeze made their skirts flutter, making them particularly eye-catching.

The cameraman also cooperated by focusing the lens on the long legs of the female guests, and immediately the live stream chat was flooded with all sorts of outrageous comments:

Holy crap, how come all the female guests have such amazing figures?!

Are those legs real? How can they be so long?

[Hey hey, Mom stepped on me!]

Putting everything else aside, just for all those long legs on screen, I could watch this show for a hundred episodes!

[That figure is so fair, no, those legs are so long.]

Of course, the camera only panned across the scene briefly before quickly returning to the male guest.

Why do I feel like Jiang Yi has gotten shorter?

Those who know, know; you definitely can't wear shoe lifts at this kind of event, or it'll be embarrassing!

[What do you mean by that? How could our brother possibly wear height-increasing insoles? He's already 1.8 meters tall, okay?]

[Jiang Yi's fans, stop defending him! Then why is Lin Zhou half a head taller than your idol when they're the same height?]

[Does the photographer even know how to take pictures? What's the point of having a bunch of men in this? I want to see legs!!]

Just as the comments section was buzzing with arguments, the director took a megaphone, walked to the center of the beach, and spoke up:

"Distinguished guests, please quiet down! Next, we will be holding a two-person collaborative triathlon, consisting of three events!"

He paused, then gestured towards the famous racecourse to explain: "The first event is the three-legged obstacle course! Each pair of participants will have their adjacent ankles secured with straps, and they will traverse a 50-meter stretch of sandy terrain together to reach the finish line. Note that stepping on the lines or untying the straps is strictly prohibited; doing so will be considered a foul and will result in a 10-second penalty!"

"The second round is a combination of a weighted shuttle run for boys and a lap-toss relay for girls! The boys need to carry a 20-pound sandbag on their backs, run from the starting line to a 50-meter turnaround point, get the baton, and run back. Only then can the girls start the lap-toss – ten plastic hoops, and they need to get five or more to complete the race. The more hoops they get, the shorter their time!"

"The final round is simple: a two-person balloon sprint. The male and female guests must cross the finish line together, back to back, holding a balloon between them. The team with the shortest time wins the priority to choose a sea-view room!"
