His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 176: Weighing the Hippo 

Avery quit the show due to "illness."

Unfortunately, the production team did not have enough time to arrange a new team to replace them.It wasn't that they did not try hard to find a replacement but because joining the variety show itself was risky.

If one was not careful, they could be ruined even without anyone purposefully defaming them.

Although Avery took the initiative to quit due to her "illness,"everyone was not ignorant and it was the production team who let her off.

From a popular rising celebrity to a target trampled on by countless netizens, the fall was really too high.

Therefore, the variety show could only continue filming with three teams.

Without Avery causing trouble, the atmosphere between all of the quests seemed unusually harmonious.

The zoo was the location the production crew set as the location.

Everyone was heading to the Universal Theme Park to record the program.

The three teams already got along well before.

When they met again, they acted harmoniously towards each other.

Sarah took the initiative to greet the Clark brothers.

"Congratulations! I heard you guys entered the show business.Seems like you two are ready to start a new career?"

The Clark brothers smiled politely and exchanged greetings with Sarah.

"We also saw that you have plenty of endorsements.You took seven or eight of them at once, right?"

After exchanging more business-related pleasantries, everyone turned their head to look at Melody.

"Melody, do you have any plans to enter the show business? You've gained a lot of fans already.You should at least have a main account!’ Melody didn't have a Twitter account yet.

Everyone who wanted to know more about her situation would instead flock over to Sarah’s account.

"I'm not interested!" Melody denied coldly.

If they hadn't met Melody before and were unfamiliar with her personality, the ve Clark brothers would have thought that Melody was a big shot.

Contrary to Melody's indifference, Sarah was worried that Melody would be attacked by the netizens because of her personality.

She quickly explained on Melody’s behalf.

"Melody is still in high school and she’s about to enter university.She's focusing on her studies first.As for what she plans to do in the future, she's the one who'll decide.Our family will support her with whatever she wants to do!"

After they finished chatting, the director appeared in everyone's sight.

There was an exaggeratedly big microphone in his hands.

"Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we have a mysterious guest that will join our program.The mysterious guest will join..."NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

The director paused, trying to add suspense, "the team with the best ability!"

"Next, we'll have a small game to see who can find the hippopotamus in the zoo and get its weight! The fastest wins.Whoever can obtain and understand the clues which lead to the mysterious guest, gets to have him in their team!"

Hearing the director excitedly introduce the rules of the game, the three teams didn't look interested.It was just another boring game.

They originally thought that they just had to sit back and relax for two days and one night.

Who could've expected that the production theme was up to something again? But at the same time, it was also really typical of them! Seeing the uninterested expression on the guests’ faces, the director pulled out his trump card.

"Our mysterious guest this time is currently the most popular celebrity in the entertainment industry! He's the only superstar with more than 100 million followers on Twitter!"

The director was really the director! He knew the hearts of the guests best, easily arousing their enthusiasm.

Even the audience exploded in the chat room, excitedly sending messages.

Fans who paid attention to the entertainment news would instantly know who was the most popular person.

They did not even need to think.

It would be accurate to say that the mysterious guest was a superstar! Before that additional information, Sarah looked as indifferent as Melody.

Now, she was so excited that she couldn't stay still.

"Mellie, my idol is here! I didn’t think that joining this variety show had this many benefits!"

Sarah soundlessly squealed.

"My idol!"

Now, the only one who had no reaction was Melody.She didn't care about it at all.

But Sarah understood Melody's reaction.

Perhaps she did not even know the identity of the mysterious guest at all.

Sarah looked at Melody and heroically said, "Mellie, I must work hard today.I'll definitely win.Later, the first person who will get the clue is me.I'll be on the same team as my idol then!"

There was an imaginary glowing aura surrounding Sarah's body.

Melody did not understand where Sarah's enthusiasm came from.

As for Sarah's idol, she was not interested at all.

As time passed by, the sun rose higher and higher and it was getting hotter and hotter.

Melody felt like she was being slowly roasted by the sun and wanted to go back to sleep.

When the game started, Sarah felt sorry upon seeing Melody’s listlessness.

Melody got up so early after all.She took Melody to the pavilion where tourists usually rested.

"Mellie, I'll start the task by myself first.I'll look for the hippo.You rest here and wait for me to come back, okay?"

Melody agreed with Sarah's suggestion.

It was what she wanted the most.It seemed that Sarah really knew her well.

Melody even took the initiative to verbally reply, "No problem!"

It was rare for her to reply.It seemed like Melody liked that suggestion a lot.

Sarah finally felt like she was a legitimate elder sister, putting her in a good mood.

After conversing with Melody, Sarah did not forget to explain to the camera next.

She had learned her lesson from the previous incident.

"Mellie is tired from her homework recently and she also woke up quite early today.She must be a little tired.Let her rest for a while.I can do this task myself.Leave it to me.I believe I'll be first."

"Go, let's go!"

Everyone could tell that Sarah was protecting Melody to prevent what had happened previously.

Melody, seeing her elder sister's effort to explain to her fans, couldn't help but smile.

This elder sister of hers was really interesting.

Because Melody was resting, all the cameras were directed at Sarah.

Who knew if Sarah was possessed by Flash today or she was just really invincible when she took things seriously.

Unexpectedly, the first person to find the HippoPark was her.

When she saw the huge hippopotamus in the pool, Sarah felt her head throb.

The hippo was so big, how was she supposed to measure its weight? Sarah asked the breeder beside her.

"Is there a weighing scale for the hippo?"

The breeder nodded, "Yes, but not today."

Su Yun looked confused.

"Why?" An awkward smile appeared on the breeder's face.

"The director hid the weighing scales!"

Sarah's expression burst in an instant, looking enraged.

The audience watching their screens almost laughed.

[Hahahaha, Sarah's expression is so scary!]

[I didn’t expect it either! Hahaha! The devil incarnate took directing as a profession.Awesome!]

It was a very heavy hippo.

Sarah couldn't just go and carry it and estimate its weight, right? Sometime later, the Clark brothers arrived.

Seeing that Sarah was already inside, they took the initiative to greet her.

"How is it, Sarah? Are you done?" Sarah shook her head.

"No, the weighing scales were taken and hidden away by the director, how could we weigh it then? Should I go there and lift the hippo? If I could do that, then the winner of the weightlifting Olympics would be me!"

The Clark brothers were amused with her words.

The three of them started to discuss a plausible way to weigh the hippo.

They thought of using their weight as a basis to measure the hippo’s weight.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the tools to put their thoughts into action either.

At this point, they were in despair together.

They couldn't think of anything in the end.

Sarah had no choice but to ask Melody for help.

The Clark brothers brought up helplessly.

"You said that we can’t do anything about this.What can Melody do then?"

Sarah responded confidently, "My sister is so smart.She can definitely think of something! We won't know unless we try."

After she finished speaking, she immediately rushed out to search for Melody.
