Everyone’s strengths?
Wang Xiaotian spoke first, "I’m the oldest, the most steady in my actions, the strongest in ability, and I’ve been to Paris several times before. The captain has to be me!"
Lu Yao felt otherwise, "I’m the youngest, the very steadiest in actions, the very strongest in ability, and I’ve been to Paris more than a dozen times. It should be me who’s the captain."
Wang Xiaotian glared at her, "Why are you so steady in your actions if you’re the youngest?"
Lu Yao gave a look that screamed ’you’re such an idiot’, "It’s precisely because I’m the youngest that I act with caution!"
"And when did you go to Paris more than a dozen times!"
"That’s none of your business, just know that I have!"
When it came to Wu Mu’s turn, he stated the facts, "To be a captain, first, you need to have the language skills, don’t you? Although I don’t speak French, I know English, which is enough for communication. None of you speak English, do you?"
Wang Xiaotian snorted a laugh, "When I become the captain, I’ll just have you be the translator at my side."
Lu Yao also gave a look like she was watching an idiot, "And Yu Ke can speak French as well; I can order Yu Ke around!"
Yu Ke: "..." The rightful source is noⅴelfire.net
Well, in any case, it meant choosing oneself.
During the voting, the rules stated that nobody could vote for themselves, but Wang Xiaotian and Lu Yao both showed their stance by not voting for anyone, and Wu Mu abstained as well.
Everyone’s gaze then turned to Zhang Haoran.
Zhang Haoran tugged at the corners of his mouth, did they really think he’d choose any of them? "I abstain."
All eyes shifted to Yu Ke.
Yu Ke, who had been on the sidelines enjoying the commotion, looked around, "I abstain too."
Lin Qingyue, who was watching from the sidelines speechlessly, exclaimed, "Hey, at this rate, you’ll never choose a captain. Since you all want to be captain, how about each person takes a turn to be the captain for one day?"
"That sounds great! I’ll go first."
"No way, let’s play rock-paper-scissors!"
Eventually, after rock-paper-scissors, Wang Xiaotian was to be the first day’s captain, Lu Yao the second, Wu Mu the third, Yu Ke the fourth, and Zhang Haoran the fifth.
As soon as the result was determined, and before any official duties even began, Wang Xiaotian was eager to fulfill his role as the captain.
He cleared his throat, "Xiao Wu, the captain is thirsty. Go, get me a glass of water."
Wu Mu chuckled at him, "Hey, don’t push it."
Wang Xiaotian grunted and frowned, "What do you mean? As your captain, I toil and work hard for you all. Is it really so troublesome to ask for a glass of water? With that attitude, do you want to be given the hardest jobs and the least pay tomorrow?"
Shoot, Wang Xiaotian had really learned something substantial.
In just a few episodes, he was already adopting his airs.
Wu Mu smacked his lips, took Wang Xiaotian’s empty paper cup, and went to pour him a glass of water.
Wang Xiaotian held the water glass, laughing heartily.
This was way too awesome, getting Wu Mu to pour him water!
Mr. Wu Mu, your way of showing superiority was great, but now it’s mine!
Of course, he wasn’t really being too excessive; it was all just for effect.
Still, this was enough to make Lu Yao’s eyes shine.
Wow, to have Mr. Wu Mu pour water?
Is that really something that could happen?
She was getting a bit excited!
When it was her turn to be the captain, she’d do the same!
Not just her, but even Zhang Haoran at the side was lost in thought.
However, they would soon find out that being a captain was not an easy job.
In a rented guesthouse.
The guests of the show had just flown into Paris and woken up from a rest when they realized something was amiss.
"Eh, why is there no breakfast?"
They had arrived in Paris yesterday, and their food and accommodation were prepared by the show’s crew. But this morning, the crew didn’t provide them with any food.
Then, Lin Qingyue told them, "During the Paris trip, aside from the accommodation, the show will not provide any assistance or funds for meals, transportation, tourist check-ins, and so on. It’s all up to the team leader to arrange and solve."
"And you are not allowed to use any of your own funds, you can only raise money locally."
Ah, so the team leader’s power is nothing but an empty cheque, huh? With no funds, what plans can be made!
Wang Xiaotian was caught by a sudden attack.
Wu Mu, on the other hand, was already laughing, "Eh, leader, I’m hungry. For breakfast, I’d like soy milk, buns, and deep-fried dough sticks. Can you prepare them for me quickly?"
Hmm, although it would be her turn tomorrow, Lu Yao thought it’s better to think about tomorrow’s problems tomorrow. She raised her hand eagerly, "I want a fried egg sandwich!"
Now it was a problem whether they could even get a meal!
With no personal funds to use and no money from the crew, where would their food come from?
Fortunately, the crew wasn’t that cruel. After rummaging through the Airbnb, Wang Xiaotian finally found a fridge full of vegetables.
He held the vegetables he took out from the fridge and looked towards the other guests.
Wu Mu decisively answered, "I don’t cook."
Lu Yao shook her head desperately, "My cooking is so awful, it could kill someone."
Zhang Haoran tilted his head slightly, "I don’t know how to cook."
In the end, Wang Xiaotian’s gaze turned to Yu Ke.
Yu Ke smiled awkwardly, "Xiaotian, those who play piano usually don’t cook."
Damn, so the team leader is just an aggrieved nanny!
Wang Xiaotian tried to awaken his teammates’ conscience, speaking earnestly, "I am you, in tomorrow’s shoes. If you don’t help me today, who will help you tomorrow?"
Unfortunately, not only did Wu Mu and the others lack conscience, but they also questioned his conscience.
Wu Mu: "Let’s talk about those things tomorrow."
Lu Yao hummed, "You wouldn’t help us. If we help you today, you’d act like nothing happened tomorrow."
In the end, it was Wang Xiaotian who alone made a big pot of egg and vegetable noodles for the team members.
And still, they didn’t appreciate his efforts.
"This noodle dish is too oily; eating so much oil in the morning isn’t healthy at all."
"The eggs are too dispersed. I want a fried egg!"
"These noodles are no good at all! They are not even as good as the ones I make myself!"
Wang Xiaotian’s blood pressure skyrocketed.
Breakfast was somehow dealt with, and then came the task of tourist site check-ins.
The crew provided a list of attractions, including names of about a dozen places, big and small, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame Cathedral, and so on.
The crew stated that during this trip, they must visit and check in at all of these attractions.
But checking in didn’t mean just looking from the outside and taking a photo; they needed to buy tickets and personally experience the places.
The cost of tickets for five people was not a small amount.
Even the least expensive attraction would be a hundred or two hundred euros.
The content direction of this episode was clear now, involving both making money and checking in at tourist sites.
For earning money, Wang Xiaotian temporarily couldn’t come up with any ideas. This was different from the job experience from a couple of episodes ago; this time, in addition to making money, they also had to manage check-ins and there wasn’t as much time to earn money.
Even if there was enough time for making money, a couple of hundred euros was not a small amount for ordinary people.
After thinking it over for a while, he decided to check out the nearest tourist site first.
And the closest attraction to them was the world-famous Eiffel Tower.
But as soon as they stepped out the door, he encountered a difficult problem.
How were they supposed to get there?
They didn’t have the money to take a car.
