Nina was speechless, thinking that this person seemed a bit foolish.
She said. “Didn’t you see me carrying them back?
Realizing he’d asked a silly question, the guest laughed awkwardly. “That was a silly question. It’s just, no matter how many times I see it, it’s so amazing. You’re so small, yet you can carry such heavy things

[So, Nina’s got some extraordinary talent
[This is scripted! How can anyone believe this is real? It’s clearly just for show!
[Here come the script theorists again! Someone just carried hundreds of pounds, and you think it’s fake? If you’re so smart, why don’t you try!]

When the truth came out, it trended like crazy. This time, our rival is pushing down our stream’s popularity People will get frustrated and, once it’s exposed who’s behind it, the buzz will explode.”
“Yeah, that’s true.
“That’s why we have to stay calm. Don’t panic when we see the viewers drop.”
“Got it, Mr. Shepherd
As the show’s popularity plummeted like an elevator in free fall, the staff remained unbothered. They were so calm and relaxed that they didn’t even take it seriously. Because of this, the show’s guests had no idea that the variety show they thought would be a big hit was quietly flopping.
The production team was at peace, continuing with their tasks and even enjoying the music and dancing.
At the same time.
Just as Clifford was about to set off for the deserted island, he received crucial information from the control device developers that he had never known before
