“You are not going to ask what kind of reality variety show it is?”
Xi couldn’t remain calm after seeing that Mag was quiet.
“Isn’t it just a bunch of actors performing realism awkwardly?” Mag casually answered.
“…” Xi.
Mag had summarized it so precisely that she didn’t know how to refute or diss him.
“How do you know that?” Xi frowned slightly, feeling as though she had discovered a blind spot.
“Didn’t you open the access of the video library to me? There is a column of variety shows,” Mag answered matter-of-factly.
Xi faintly said, “You grasped it rather well.”
“You know, I am very gifted in understanding machinery,” Mag said with a smile.
Even though he had changed his face, Xi still thought that Mag looked like he deserved a beating.
“What happens after I infiltrate the McCarthy Family? What is the following plan?” Mag asked, “If there is a plan, please just give it to me. I don’t like to be led by the nose and plans never keep up with change.”
“I didn’t receive the following plan either, but according to past experiences, there is no following plan. You need to react accordingly and set the plan yourself to complete the mission,” Xi said.
“I understand.” Mag nodded. This suited his style more.
“I need more intel on the McCarthy Family and Congressman Tamm. You’ve only given me two names and I don’t have the time to investigate them myself.”
“The detailed intel will be sent to you very soon. All the functions on your bangle are open, including internet access. You can go on it to understand about the Top Chef Competition first. If you fail to win and get into the McCarthy Family, this mission will be considered a failure,” Xi said.
Mag clicked on the bangle. The system showed that it had already been updated and at the same time, some interfaces and functions that were initially gray were now all lit up.
Mag was someone who had experienced the internet era, so he wouldn’t be astonished by surfing the net.
Furthermore, the people on the Underground City’s network might not be as many as the people on the Earth’s network.
After all, the Underground City’s people needed to cultivate every now and then, but Earth was different. It had many people with nothing to do, for example… you.

Just as Mag was about to ask Xi where he could watch this variety show, he saw a pop-up: Explosive! The top eight contest of the Top Chef Competition is going to start soon! Popular contestant Jasper Flagg has quit the contest due to health issues! A mysterious guest is joining at the last minute?!
Mag, the mysterious guest himself, clicked open the news.
The report said that the most popular contestant Jasper Flagg was injured in an accident last night and couldn’t continue in the competition. In order not to affect the competition’s progress, the programming division invited a mysterious guest to save the show.
The programming division didn’t reveal any more information about this mysterious guest. They didn’t even have a picture of him.
The report was very short but it went to the very top of the WeTwit’s trending list.
WeTwit was the hottest entertainment software in Underground City. It had the news, entertainment, video clips and games altogether in one. Its functions were similar to Weibo. Their greatest difference was the number of users. Apparently, it was… 18,000,000,000?
Around 80% of Underground City’s residents had a WeTwit account.
Hence, how did the news of a contestant quitting a cooking competition get to the top of the trending list?
As she seemed to have seen through Mag’s doubts, Xi explained, “The Top Chef Competition has been held four times. This is the fifth edition and the programming division can always do something new with it. They turned a cooking competition into the hottest variety show on the internet. Apparently, the exclusive telecast rights of this season have sold for 1,000,000,000.”
Mag said, “Wow,” right away.
This was the real era when a chef became a god!
“System, why don’t we become a god here?” Mag said inwardly.
“According to all the studies in the worlds, the more advanced in technology a civilization is, the less willing its people will be to cook for themselves. The Underground World has already entered into the era of the robot butler doing the cooking. It no longer has the basic requirements to become a god,” the system answered, “Moreover, the audience don’t like this show because of its cooking.”
“The two most popular chefs came out of the closet last season. The final competition was between the two of them.” Xi added another piece of explosive news.

“…” Mag.
This director was indeed a genius.
Mag looked at the replies under that message. They were all of the same kind:
“I feel sorry for you, Brother!”
“I hope Brother can get well soon! Your true fan will follow you forever!”
“Who injured our Brother! I have already taken out my 250 meter long saber!”
“Who is the mysterious person?! What rights does he have to replace Brother? I want to be his anti-fan!”
Mag turned to Xi. “This fellow is so popular, so why did you choose him? Is this an explosive point chosen by the director too?”
He had seen this Brother Jasper’s photograph. He had an oval face, flirty eyes and tender skin. He looked just like a girl.
Of course, his looks appealed to the young maidens more. They were calling him Brother so lovingly.
Mag was expecting to be attacked by his fans when he replaced this fellow.
“The director isn’t one of us. Moreover, he couldn’t bear to give up this popular contestant, and he had already set him up as a couple with another contestant.” Xi shook her head.
“Is that you guys getting rid of the stronger opponents for me?” Mag asked again.
Xi continued on speaking, “His culinary skills are very diluted. He only made it to the final eight with the programming division’s help. According to the programming division’s plan, his journey will stop at the quarterfinal before they package and debut him as a celebrity.”
“They can do that?” Mag was full of questions. Wasn’t this a cooking variety show? Why are they debuting him?
“Wait a sec. So, why did you choose him?” Mag felt that he was distracted.
“Because compared to the other contestants, he had a very lethal flaw.”
Mag didn’t interrupt. He chose to listen.
“He likes to bring the little sisters back to the hotel,” Xi said.
“Oh. A fans f*cker!” Mag said with disdain.
Even as an influencer with tens of millions of fans in his previous life, he had never done that. Hence, he despised that behavior.
Xi thought that Mag’s description was very apt. She continued speaking, “He didn’t rein in his hobby during the competition, so we arranged for a maiden to lure him out and got the maiden’s big brother to arrive in time.”
“You guys created a love trap.” Mag wanted to laugh, but he held it in.
He could already imagine that ‘tragic’ scene.
Then, Mag quickly saw another trending topic on the list: The insider story of Jasper Flagg’s injuries!
There was an anonymous revelation on the trending topics. Apparently, Jasper Flagg was sent to the hospital because he was beaten up by the family members of an underage girl whom he was trying to sleep with. All the entertainment industry’s influencers began to share the news immediately.
Very soon, the video clip of that scene was sent to the top of the trending list.
Jasper Flagg’s persona crumbled!
The Top Chef Competition’s programming division released an emergency announcement: The contestant’s behavior has nothing to do with the programming division!
Soon after, the programming division shared the mysterious guest’s information: Hades Saipan, a home cook.
A handsome picture was attached and they tagged his account.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
