Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 51 - : The Great Lodging Competition
Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Great Lodging Competition
“Oh, okay.”
After uttering two syllables indifferently, Jiang Li bent down to pick up his shoes and then mercilessly turned around to continue on the road.
Wen Jiaojiao: ?
By the time she reacted, Jiang Li had already disappeared at the end of the road.
“Jiang Li!” Wen Jiaojiao stamped her foot angrily but ended up hurting her already sprained ankle again because she used too much force.
Qi Tianyu, who was nearby, touched his nose awkwardly in embarrassment.
Seeing Wen Jiaojiao struggling with her seven-centimeter high heels while pulling a large suitcase, he opened his own suitcase and took out a pair of clean shoes.
“Why don’t you make do with mine for now, just in case you really fall down later.”
Reluctantly, Wen Jiaojiao had no choice but to throw away her high heels.
By the time she made her way down the mountain in the oversized sneakers that resembled small boats, she regretted everything deeply.
If only she had asked for Jiang Li’s shoes earlier, or even bought them if necessary!
Due to the different progress of all the guests, the live broadcast had turned into multiple screens by the time they came down the mountain.
The personal live channels for each guest were officially launched.
Wen Jiaojiao had instructed her assistant to buy popularity early in the morning, so besides Qi Tianyu, who was naturally popular, her channel had the highest ratings.
This led to her embarrassing scene being fully captured and seen by netizens.
Some even clipped the humorous segment of her walking in size 44 sneakers on the mountain path and posted it online.
[Trending soon, #PrincessWenActuallyRowingOnTheMountain!#Hahahaha]
[You’re doomed, you’re going to receive a letter from Princess Wen’s lawyer, she’s all about face, you can tell from the moment she refused Jiang Li’s shoes.]
[This show teaches us not to bite off more than we can chew.]
Meanwhile, Jiang Li had already reached Chixia Village at the foot of the mountain.
The sunset had faded, and the sky had turned a mysterious shade of blue-purple, studded with stars.
Nestled in this tranquil area, Chixia Village took on a layer of mystery, resembling that enigmatic Peach Blossom Spring, alluring yet hiding a hint of danger.
When Jiang Yan arrived dragging his suitcase, he felt like he had left half his life on the mountain path behind.
But Jiang Li showed no signs of stopping, his figure striding forward more resolutely and swiftly.
Jiang Yan could only hysterically pick up his suitcase and follow while chasing him.
“Jiang Li, can you consider your brother’s feelings? I’m almost crushed by your suitcase!”
Jiang Li didn’t even turn his head as he responded, “That’s your own fault.”
His indifferent attitude successfully stumped Jiang Yan, so he switched the topic.
“So what are we going to do tonight? We’ve been in the village for a while now, haven’t seen a single person, are we really going to sleep on the streets?”
He had been holding back his complaints since a while back.
Compared to the bustling Capital, this place felt like a forgotten refugee slum from the last century.
After walking for so long, not only had they not encountered a single person, but the path was also pitch-black and completely unlit. If it weren’t for the cameras from the show providing some light, he would have probably tripped to death by now.
Jiang Li kept his eyes fixed ahead, his expression indifferent, “Chixia Village is surrounded by mountains and geographically secluded. Transportation and communication are inconvenient here. People tired from a day’s work and with no entertainment go to bed early.”
Having just passed a few houses that had already turned off their lights, it was inconvenient for them to ask about lodging, so they had no choice but to continue walking and try their luck.
“Fuck, no entertainment activities? Aren’t the people here bored to death? If I opened a bar here, wouldn’t I become a savior?”
Jiang Yan was fantasizing about the future, while Jiang Li had already gotten too lazy to even roll his eyes.
Finally, he realized something was wrong, “Damn, if that’s the case, didn’t the director send us to seek accommodation just to set us up?! Everyone should have finished their meals by now, who would still take us in?”
Jiang Li gave him a “you finally figured out the key issue” look.
[Why is Jiang Yan acting like such a naive sweetheart, even dreaming of opening a bar in the mountains to play the savior? He’d probably lose even his shorts.]
[He doesn’t even have his shorts now, you guys forgot, Director Sun took all his luggage.]
[Hahaha, I can’t stop laughing, the livestream in the Movie Emperor He’s room next door is so boring, the old man hasn’t said a single word all the way, Jiang Li and Jiang Yan’s livestream is much more interesting.]
[Speechless, Shu Yan has already started using her charms and acting coy to get the villagers to let her stay, I really can’t watch it anymore, came here to cleanse my eyes.]
[What about Qi Tianyu and Wen Jiaojiao? They can’t still be in the mountains, can they? Poor Qi, stuck with Princess Wen as a stumbling block.]
After walking for a few more minutes, they finally saw a few houses ahead that still had their lights on.
Jiang Li was about to step forward to check the situation when several people, in a hurry, rushed out from a small courtyard.
Leading them was a middle-aged man dressed in navy blue Chinese attire, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, his wrinkles almost squeezing out of his face.
Following him was a woman, also dressed very simply, continuously wiping her tears with her sleeve.
“How could this happen, why can’t we find him?”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, his expression darkening, “You’d better spend your time thinking about where Xiao Hu might have gone instead of crying. De Guang, go call a few more people, let’s check the mountain.”
“Okay.”
The middle-aged man quickened his pace, and upon looking up, saw Jiang Li and the others standing at the crossroads.
After sizing up their outfits, the middle-aged man instantly became wary.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
Upon hearing this questioning tone, Jiang Yan’s anger flared up and he dropped his suitcase ready to argue.
Jiang Li raised his hand to stop him and smiled slightly, “Uncle, we are guests from the show ‘Shining Transformation Trip’, we just arrived in this village and are looking for a place to stay.”
Her graceful demeanor made the middle-aged man feel a bit more favorable towards her, and upon seeing the camera behind them, his wariness completely evaporated.
“So it’s you guys, I’m the village chief, your person in charge contacted me earlier, I thought you would come during the day, didn’t expect you to arrive so late.”
“Hello, village chief.” Jiang Li gave a nod, and then gestured with his eyes threatening Jiang Yan to come over and greet as well.
The village chief’s companion stepped back, then reached out to tug at his clothes.
He then sighed again, “You’re looking for a place to stay, right? However, I’m in a bit of a rush right now and might not be able to help you. Maybe try asking a few more households?”
Just as Jiang Li was about to respond, his phone began to ding with messages — popping up several group chat messages—
[Shining Transformation Trip]
Director Sun: Everyone has arrived at Chixia Village, haven’t you? It’s getting late, hurry up and sort out the accommodation issues. The first guest to find a place to stay will receive 5 good score points! And it will decrease subsequently!

Shu Yan: Director Sun, you’re really making it difficult, the people in this village are so unreasonable, I’ve asked three or four households already, and they all say they have no room, it’s so frustrating.
Qi Tianyu: What? You’ve already asked three or four? I just got here.
Wen Jiaojiao: How come there are even mosquitoes in this broken village? I can’t stand it, I’m going to have my dad come here and build a villa!
There was a chorus of complaints in the group.
Jiang Li also narrowed her gaze.
It seemed this task was indeed not so simple.
With this in mind, she looked up and scrutinized the worried faces in front of her, tentatively asking:
“Are you looking for someone? Maybe I can help you.”
