Huayu: This top star doesn't play by the rules.

The rest of the match seemed to be a one-man show for Chen Chao. His Lee Sin roamed freely in the enemy jungle, providing a one-stop service for counter-jungling, ganking, and controlling the dragon. In just fifteen minutes, he led his team to successfully destroy the enemy crystal.

On the settlement screen, Chen Chao's KDA was 11-0-8, and his participation rate was 85%.

"One more round, one more round!" Chen He, who had never experienced such a satisfying game before, was still not satisfied and immediately shouted to start the second round.

In the second game, Chen Chao chose Zed. After solo killing the enemy mid laner at level six, he took off and roamed to the bottom lane to help Chen He get a double kill. He then went to the top lane to help Lu Han relieve pressure. Twenty-three minutes later, the enemy crystal exploded again.

Chen He put the computer on the table, leaned back on the sofa and let out a long sigh. "I've decided. From now on, you'll jungle and I'll be the AD carry. Whichever lane you want me to go to, I'll go to that lane."

Sitting next to Chen Chao, Lu Han couldn't help but nod repeatedly, "Chao, your skills are already comparable to those of professional players."

"Just lucky." With a smile, Chen Chao picked up the now-cold water and took a sip.

"Come on." Hearing Chen Chao's self-deprecating words, Chen He couldn't help but roll his eyes. "You're telling me that Lee Sin's roundhouse kick was just luck? You got it more than ten times?"

Jing Tian watched with great interest. Although she didn't know much about the game, she found Chen Chao's smooth and rhythmic gameplay quite pleasing to the eye.

Dilraba, who was also there to watch the game, had moved a high chair and sat behind Chen Chao and the others, craning her neck to look at Chen Chao's screen. Occasionally, she would bump into Chen Chao because she was too excited.

The three played several games in a row, from Lee Sin to Zed, and from Zed to Yasuo. Chen Chao switched to a different hero in each game and carried the whole team in every game.

They played until after 2 a.m. Chen Chao glanced at the time and prepared to close the computer. As for the two girls, they had already gone home to rest. "It's about time to rest. We have to record a program tomorrow."

"One more round! One last round!" Chen He, who was already completely exhausted, was naturally unwilling to let go easily. Although Lu Han did not speak, it was clear from his eyes that he wanted to continue.

Seeing this, Chen Chao had no choice but to start again. Another hour passed, and Chen He finally shut down the computer with satisfaction, yawning as he saw his guests off.

When Lu Han left Chen He's room, he was so sleepy that he could barely keep his eyes open. When he stood up, he almost tripped over the table.

..........

At seven o'clock the next morning, Chen Chao appeared in the dressing room on time. After playing games last night, he also watched the recording script of Running Man for a while and didn't go to sleep until about four o'clock in the morning, but he was still full of energy.

While Su Wan was doing his makeup, he still had the mood to discuss the second wave of album promotion with Ji Ran.

But Chen He and Lu Han weren't so lucky. Chen He was the last to arrive at the dressing room. With obvious dark circles under his eyes, he plopped down on the makeup chair and started to doze off. When the makeup artist was applying his base makeup, she almost shoved the powder puff into his nostril.

Sitting next to Chen Chao, Lu Han held a glass of iced Americano in his hand, taking a sip every now and then, his eyes half-open and half-closed, giving off a feeling of 'soul leaving his body'.

"What's going on with you two?" Deng Chao, who had already finished his makeup, looked at the two sleepy guys slumped over and asked suspiciously. Then his gaze locked onto the energetic Chen Chao. "What did you two do last night?"

"Playing games~" Chen He said weakly, raising three fingers with his eyes closed. "We played games until 3 a.m. after we got back from dinner."

"But the point is, Chen Chao is a bit abnormal. He played seven or eight different heroes, but he could carry the whole game every time. Not only is he good at the game, but he doesn't seem to get tired. We were both almost asleep, but he was still like nothing had happened."

Lu Han nodded vigorously and barely opened his eyes. "Ah Chao is too fierce. We played round after round. Towards the end, my vision started to blur, but he still didn't seem tired at all."

Upon hearing their conversation, Deng Chao subconsciously turned to look at Chen Chao, who was looking down at his phone. Feeling the gaze on him, Chen Chao looked up at Deng Chao and gave him a gentle, harmless smile.

Turning his gaze away, Deng Chao slowly said, "He, you're right, this guy is a freak."

Then he reached out and gently patted Chen He's shoulder, "Don't fight with him so late next time. He's young, and you're too old to compete with him."

"Who's old!? I'm still young!" Chen He couldn't help but retort when Deng Chao's seemingly comforting but actually teasing words left him.

But his words, coupled with his panda eyes, weren't very convincing. Watching their interaction, Jing Tian was already laughing so hard she could barely stand up straight.

.......

Recording officially began at 8:00 AM.

The first segment was the opening, where the production team introduced the theme of this episode: four hundred audience members would vote in real time to decide all the tasks and actions of the Running Man team.

As the directors spoke, the screen showed a packed audience control room, with hundreds of people waving at the camera simultaneously – a truly spectacular sight.

Then came the introduction of the guest stars. Chen Chao and Jing Tian were pushed in front of the camera by Deng Chao to introduce themselves. Jing Tian waved to the camera gracefully, while Chen Chao simply said, "Hello everyone, I am actor and singer Chen Chao."

"Since we're here, we should put on a show for everyone, right? How about this..." Deng Chao's gaze swept over everyone, finally landing on Dilraba. "Dilraba! You go first! You can dance, right? Show us a little spin!"

She paused for a moment, but Dilraba knew that Deng Chao was filming her. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still stepped forward. As the music started, she took a deep breath and began to spin.

Then it spun faster and faster, like a light spinning top, the ponytail drawing a perfect circle in the air.

One lap, two laps, five laps, ten laps... Everyone subconsciously held their breath, and Chen He's mouth involuntarily opened wide. Finally, she spun around more than fifty times before stopping steadily and bowing to the camera.

Then, enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Deng Chao eagerly stepped forward, wanting to try spinning around a couple of times as well. However, after spinning around for the fourth time, he became so dizzy that he fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Zheng Kai and Li Chen quickly went over to help him up. Although Deng Chao waved his hand and said he was fine, his unsteady gait had already given him away.

The two guest stars, Chen Chao and Jing Tian, ​​were also pushed up by everyone. Chen Chao spun around eight times before feeling a little dizzy and stopped, while Jing Tian was a little better and spun around a dozen times.

Then Deng Chao had Chen Chao perform "Misplaced Time and Space," which marked the end of the opening performance. The production team then announced the format of the competition for this episode.

That was a team battle, nine against four hundred, and this huge disparity immediately triggered groans from the entire Running Man team.

After counting on his fingers for a long time, Chen He finally couldn't help but sigh and look up to the sky, "Is this how it's supposed to be done?!"

Ignoring the members' groans and complaints, the production team continued to explain the rules: the Running Man team needs to complete three tasks. For each task they succeed in, fifty audience members will be eliminated from the final showdown. If all three tasks are completed successfully, the number of audience members for the final showdown will be reduced from four hundred to two hundred and fifty.
