Chapter 723 - Ring Toss

Chapter 723: Ring Toss

“The Blast Forward” had five permanent guests, which were one woman and four men.
This time, five celebrity guests came, adding up to exactly five men and five women.
The program team prepared five ropes, with men and women pulling one end each. Finally, those who drew the same rope would form a group.
Xia Xibei did not expect that she and Shi Shuhang would draw the same rope.
Shi Shuhang thought it was great, as he was curious to see if Xia Xibei’s previous performance in “Full Steam Ahead” was real.
After the drawing, the first session began.
“Full Steam Ahead” was vicious, and “The Blast Forward” was not much better.
The first session was a game of ring toss.
The team set up a round playing area with many different-sized dolls.
There were five big dolls, which represented transportation.
They could only use the transport to get to the next place, which would happen if they hit the doll.
However, it wasn’t easy.
The circle-shaped area was very large, and the edge was several meters away from the doll.
Although the dolls were quite big, the guests had small rings in their hands, so the probability of hitting a doll was low.
Moreover, they only had five rings in their hands, and the recovery time of the rings was two minutes. In other words, when they threw a ring, they had to wait some time before they could use it again.
As a result, they could not throw a bunch of them randomly.
Once the game started, Shi Shuhang handed Xia Xibei two rings and took three rings for himself.
“Don’t worry, my eyesight is very accurate!”
“Great, we’ll see what you do,” Xia Xibei smiled and nodded.
The other guests began to circle around the periphery of the circle, trying to find the doll that was best to start with.
It was just a pity that the staff would not let them pass so easily, as the five dolls were placed quite evenly.
“Oops! I missed!”
Some guests had already tried to toss a ring.
Unfortunately, the ring didn’t even touch the sides of the doll before falling.
Looking at the doll several meters away from them, everyone had different expressions.
Some of them deliberately posed with pompous teenage styles, and some of them deliberately stepped into the circle and then were pulled out by others, which was hilarious and very much in the spirit of the variety show.
It was just a pity that they still didn’t hit the doll with any more accuracy.
Shi Shuhang walked around the edge and could not help but shake his head.
“The program team is so ruthless!”
Finally, he found a relatively close position, pointed to a doll, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll let you ride in a luxury car!”
This doll represented the luxury car’s key. The brand of this car was also one of the show sponsors.
The best of the five modes of transport was this car, and then in descending order: the van, the soon-to-be-scrapped van, the tricycle, and the electromobile.
Shi Shuhang selected a spot and closed his eyes, breathing deeply, with both palms pushing downward as if he was practicing qigong. Then, he fiercely widened his eyes.
Looking at his pompous action, Xia Xibei coughed twice and did not speak.
Shi Shuhang pointed one toe back to the ground, took the stance of throwing a discus, then tossed one of the rings.
The ring flew out, crossing over the doll and falling to the ground, not even touching the doll.
He coughed lightly twice and said with a serious face, “Missed. I missed.”
He also missed the next two times. One of the rings hit a doll, but it didn’t make a difference.
After all of his rings were thrown, he could only say to Xia Xibei, “Um… You try it.”
