Chapter 1038: Chapter 715: Flaunting Love [18] Shocking! The Awakening of the Tool-Netizens!

Under the program team’s repeated emphasis, they could only use the menu prices; there was no bargaining allowed.

The implication: It’s intentional, they’re setting a trap for you.

"Then let’s order."

Emily Bay accepted reality without hesitation and proactively handed the menu to Anthony Santos, letting him order the dishes.

Anthony took it naturally.

He ordered two dishes in a row, each priced over a thousand, without holding back at all.

"How much money do you have?" Margaret Stone raised an eyebrow in surprise at their generosity.

Emily replied, "A few thousand, I guess."

Margaret widened her eyes in amazement, "How did you earn it?"

"Earned it with friends, and luckily the store had some cash." Emily glanced at her and generously asked, "How much did you guys make?"

Margaret responded, "A few hundred, maybe."

She and Lennon Turner’s experience was pretty normal.

Unlike Nora Scott and Pedro Langley, they didn’t have a variety of skills to "perform," nor did they have the good luck of Emily and Anthony—who just happened to be filming in their hometown with enthusiastic help from their fellow students.

They went straight to the largest mall in town and got a part-time job, working hard for an afternoon.

Margaret wasn’t a big star, lacking any celebrity effect. Lennon was a star, but he was faded. So it was almost impossible for them to boost sales with fans, and eventually, their commission totaled around two hundred, with the rest being agreed wages with the shop owner.

All in all, not even eight hundred.

Enough for them to eat a couple of steamed buns.

"Buy whatever you can afford." Emily didn’t show any sympathy, casually offered a comforting phrase, and then turned to Nora and Pedro, "Nora, what about you guys?"

Nora lazily replied, "Just about a hundred."

"Then what are you going to eat?" Emily asked with a laugh, "Drink water?"

Nora glanced at her.

Then, she tossed the menu onto the table.

She casually told the waiter, "One of everything on the menu, please."

"Sure."

The waiter nodded without hesitation.

The program team: "..."

All the guests: "..."

The live audience: "..."

Are you planning to dine and dash?!

[Wow, with a hundred bucks in hand, speaking like a millionaire! Heavenly Immortal indeed has great nerves!]

[Wondering if she’s already planned an escape route in advance.]

[If she really dines and dashes... that would be quite amusing. Very much looking forward to it.]

[Watching Nora’s variety show, the best part is her ever-unpredictable moves. Hahaha, so interesting!]

[The other two couples are just dumbstruck. Probably thinking, "Can you even pull that off?"]

...

The live audience was rubbing their hands, ready for a good show, eager to see how Nora and Pedro would wrap it up.

The program team couldn’t sit still.

The director asked from off the set, "How do you plan to pay the bill? Not following the rules means you’ll face punishment."

Nora waved her hand nonchalantly, "We’ll talk after eating."

The program team: "..."

Eat what! You’re the best at breaking the rules!

Now all the variety show guests in the entertainment industry are imitating your unpredictable antics, do you know how much pressure that puts on these staff members?!

Sob.

They felt so troubled.

The staff, hugging their knees, retreated into their shells, drawing circles in the corner, cursing Nora.

Though Nora dared to do this, Emily and Margaret didn’t dare to follow suit. The two couples still calculated based on their limited cash, trying not to exceed their budget.

—After all, without a perfect reason for breaking the game rules, it would just seem willful and incompetent, very damaging to one’s image.

Only if there’s a perfect way to resolve their "willfulness" would it be eye-catching.

But is it possible?

Anyway, they didn’t believe Nora could "perfectly solve" it, at most, it was just grandstanding.

"Where are we running later?"

As the first dish was served, Henry Chapman picked up his chopsticks and casually asked Nora.

"Why run?" Nora placed a peanut in her mouth, sitting with the casual posture of a Martial World boss, "We’ll just walk out the front door."

"...Oh."

Faced with the food, Henry temporarily believed her.

For lunch, there were only baked rolls and wontons, along with a few nuts.

Even though Henry had been driving around all afternoon, it was tedious and exhausting, he felt it was more difficult than shooting a whole day of films and was already hungry.

The same went for Nora and Pedro.

So—

They devoured the feast.

There weren’t many dishes originally prepared, a total of eight, with the kitchen having prepped the ingredients ready for cooking. The speed of serving dishes was rapid, and soon the entire table was covered.

The third table had a rich variety of dishes, all eight dishes were complete, with a mix of meat and vegetables, along with soup. The first table had four dishes, with both meat and vegetables, perfectly balanced.
