The laughter of the four boys echoed in the courtyard for a while before gradually subsiding.

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business." Brother Deng stepped in to quell the situation. "Director, you can continue. We'll stop fooling around."

Wang Zheng looked at them expressionlessly, his hand still holding the megaphone.

That expression probably translates to: You guys still remember there's something important to do?

He remained silent for several seconds before speaking again: "Today, the program team has prepared several game sessions for all the teachers, and you can win money in each session."

"Now, let's move on to a segment—breakfast." He paused, his gaze sweeping over the six people present.

"As I just mentioned, Dunhuang is a city with a very profound cultural heritage. There is a very special breakfast there called mutton soup."

"What is mutton stew?" Xia Ziyi raised her hand.

"I know that," Chen He answered confidently. "The broth for mutton stew is made primarily with mutton soup, mixed with pork and chicken broth."

"The bowl will contain ingredients such as sliced ​​lamb, pork meatballs, and vermicelli."

"It's usually served with some flatbread, guokui (a type of flatbread), or something similar."

As he spoke, he swallowed hard, as if he was craving something, which made everyone laugh again.

[I've never even heard of this before, and Brother He actually knows what it is... He's such an authority when it comes to food.]

[Hahahaha, after saying that, he swallowed hard, wasn't that something!]

I tried it once before, and the broth was incredibly flavorful!

"Chen He is right." Wang Zheng nodded. "Our first step is related to making mutton gravy."

After he finished speaking, the assistant stepped forward and handed each of the six guests a pedometer, asking them to attach it to their ankles.

After all six people were strapped in, Wang Zheng raised the megaphone and continued to announce the rules: "The initial value of the pedometers on each teacher's ankle is two hundred."

"With each step you take, the number on the pedometer will decrease by one. When you finally reach the restaurant, the number of steps remaining on the pedometer is the bonus you can win in this stage."

"And the mutton stew restaurant you're going to is about a kilometer away from here," Wang Zheng said.

[Giving 200 steps per kilometer? Wang Zheng is treating his guests like elephants!]

Why do you think that an elephant can walk an average of five meters in one stride?

[Fun fact: Usain Bolt's average stride in the 100-meter race is only 2.44 meters.]

"In addition, there are two other rules here." Wang Zheng held up two fingers.

"The first person to arrive at the restaurant will receive double the bonus."

"But the last person to arrive..." A malicious smile crept across his lips, "...has their pedometer reset to zero automatically."

The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly became tense upon hearing this.

Just then, Cheng Che raised his hand.

"I have a problem."

"Speaking."

"This thing can't possibly turn into a negative number, can it?" Cheng Che pointed to the pedometer on his ankle.

"No, not at all," Wang Zheng replied.

"Then I'm all set."

"In that case, let's officially begin our first game segment."

As soon as he finished speaking, none of the six people moved.

Everyone, especially the four newly sworn brothers, looked at each other, their eyes filled with conspiracy and scheming.

"Why aren't you guys moving? First, the funds will double!" Deng Chao tried to entice the others.

"Isn't this about respecting the elderly? The elderly should be given priority." Cheng Che said sincerely.

"Hahaha, Xiao Cheng is right, Lao Deng, you go first." Chen He immediately joined the group.

"I think it's okay," Lu Heng agreed.

"Hey, you can't do this! We're brothers!" Deng Chao cried out in anguish. "If we don't arrest them, we're a family!"

Cheng, Chen, and Lu remained completely unmoved, and even felt a little amused.

While the four brothers were scheming against each other, Tian Xiwei watched and chuckled from the sidelines, while Xia Ziyi was studying a pedometer with her head down.

She looked down at her left foot, which was strapped with a pedometer, hesitated for a moment, then took a step forward with her right foot, and then slowly dragged her left foot on the ground.

The numbers on the pedometer did not change.

Her eyes lit up, and she took another step.

Nothing has changed.

Hmph, as expected of you, Xia Ziyi! You found the solution to the problem so easily. Now, first place is practically yours!

Let's see who dares to call me an idiot from now on!

Xia Ziyi began her operation.

He took a big step forward with his right foot, dragged his left foot over, then took another big step forward with his right foot, and dragged his left foot over again—his whole body resembled a clumsy penguin, awkwardly shuffling towards the door.

She was already closest to the courtyard gate, and by the time others noticed her, she had already reached the gate.

"Xia, what are you doing?" Deng Chao's eyes widened.

"The pedometer won't jump if I drag myself like this!" Xia Ziyi shouted triumphantly to everyone. "I'm going first!"

And so, under everyone's watchful eyes, Xia Penguin struggled to leave the courtyard and enter the outside world.

After Xia Ziyi left, the other five people also started to imitate her and walk the "penguin walk".

Lu Heng was the fastest, the second to leave the courtyard.

Next were Deng Chao and Chen He.

Cheng Che didn't move.

Seeing that he didn't move, Tian Xiwei thought he might have some bad idea again, so she also stopped moving.

Deng Chao was almost at the courtyard gate when he suddenly stopped and looked up.

He was like a meerkat that had suddenly gained intelligence; he let out an "Ooh" and looked at the camera.

"Isn't that a bit silly?"

[Hahaha, you just noticed, bro!]

I'm dying of laughter!

[If someone were to pass by, they would absolutely not dare to laugh, because they would worry that this was a group of disabled people.]

[By the way, Che-ge and Xiao-tian are so calm, not moving at all.]

Deng Chao stopped using the "penguin walk" and instead looked around the yard.

He spotted a small cart in the corner, and his eyes lit up.

He walked over with a penguin-like gait, then turned back to show the remaining three a set of pearly white teeth.

"Do you know what a top student is?" He patted the handle of the stroller, his tone full of superiority. "A top student is someone who makes full use of their surroundings."

Chen He looked at him expressionlessly, his hands tucked into the wide sleeves of Hu Shangfu's clothes.

"Top student," he said slowly, "this little dump truck of yours needs someone to push it. If you stand on it and no one pushes you, are you planning to paddle over like a gibbon with your arms?"

Deng Chao's smile froze on his face.

He looked down at the cart, then at himself, then back at the cart, and then at Chen He.

He raised his hand and scratched his head.

Deng Chao silently pushed the cart back to the corner.

But he did not give up. Instead, he continued to look around the yard and found two more brooms.

He strode over and grabbed a broom.

"Got it!"

He put the broom on the ground, stepped on the large broom head with his left foot, braced himself with his right foot, and then pushed off suddenly—the broom carried him half a meter across the stone pavement.

Because my left foot was on the broom and didn't move much, the numbers miraculously didn't change.

"Hahahaha!!" Deng Chao regained his confidence. "The reason why top students are top students is because they never have just one way of solving problems!"

Without another word, he kicked his right foot a few times, the broom making a "scratching" sound as it swept across the stone pavement, carrying him away.

Chen He watched his retreating figure, remained silent for two seconds, and then turned to look at the remaining broom.

He walked over, picked up the broom, and sighed.

Then he stepped on it and walked away.

Finally, only Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei remained in the courtyard.

Cheng Che glanced at Tian Xiwei, then at the small cart that Deng Chao had tossed back into the corner.

Then, he poked his head at the camera.

"Dear viewers, a true academic genius will demonstrate the correct solution for this section."
