They soon reached their destination.
Since it was a competitive show, naturally some of the tasks involved running and jumping. The first two groups were girls, and they had already set off. The last two groups, after the director announced the rules, quickly set off as well.
Although it was a competition, it wasn’t really like a sports event with outdoor long-distance running or triathlons. Combining local history and cultural knowledge, the two groups each received different Task Cards.
For instance, Bo Yan’s side focused on history. Sicily has been a strategic military location since Ancient Greece, with countless historical and cultural knowledge from Ancient Greece to the Middle Ages and then to modern times. As soon as he got the relevant Task Card, Bo Yan quickly analyzed and came to a conclusion, then dashed off to solve it.
On Xia Siyu!s side, she didn’t have as much knowledge as Bo Yan. Wang Zisu, who had gone to Korea to be a trainee right after finishing junior high, naturally didn’t know these common sense facts either. However, Xia Siyu’s team had two advantages. One was that she lived there and was more familiar with the area, plus she spoke Italian. The other was that both Wang Zisu and she were accustomed to exercise and found no trouble with running and jumping.
At the beginning, Bo Yan leveraged his rich knowledge to quickly take the lead and even began catching up with the two groups that had left half an hour earlier.
Unfortunately, as it came to the latter half of the race, Wu Di couldn’t keep up with the stamina and had a very difficult time chasing from behind.
A team must finish tasks together, so even if Bo Yan was faster, he had to wait for Wu Di, and they had to stick together through the competition.
Conversely, Xia Siyu’s team had a clear division of labor. Since Xia Siyu had a poor sense of direction, Wang Zisu took on the responsibility for the running and searching. Although Wang Zisu had succeeded in the rock climbing the day before, she was still somewhat scared of heights. So Xia Siyu took care of asking for directions and all parts that involved climbing to higher places.
Though they started out as the last group and were not great academically, they at least worked well together, and being young and energetic, they quickly caught up, and it seemed they were about to overtake Bo Yan’s group.
Between the two groups, there was just one last task left. Bo Yan’s group drew the task of finding a clue about a mythological story from the “Roman Epic” at the Massimo Theatre. The Massimo Theatre was also a filming location for “Godfather 3”.
Xia Siyu’s group was tasked with picking up a Sicilian specialty dessert from a nearby flea market. The two teams happened to run into each other near the theatre.
Actually, Xia Siyu had no desire to win; she wasn’t very keen on winning and had even thought about deliberately falling behind the day before to go to Taormina. But they were a team, and Wang Zisu did have a desire to win; she couldn’t let the team lose the competition for her own whims.
As for Wu Di, she had even less desire to win. She just didn’t like Xia Siyu very much, or to be more precise, she didn’t like any girls around Bo Yan. Wu Di, who had been lagging behind all the way, finally burst forth at that moment— she was the first to rush into the theatre—and then got lost.
It was still Bo Yan who quickly found the check-in point based on the clues provided by the crew. All they needed to do was to report at the designated position by the production team to be considered having completed the task.
The production team also said, “You are the first to check off all the tasks. Just report to the designated spot, and you will be in first place.”
Hearing this, Wu Di also became excited, but just as she and Bo Yan exited the theatre door, not even descending the steps, they saw from a distance Xia Siyu’s team had already checked in and were heading towards the final destination..
