Lewis walked onto the stage with an easygoing stride, scanning the multitude of final wishes.
There were plenty, a total of 199.
The types of wishes were quite bizarre too.
For instance, "Have a passionate romance with a girl and marry her within a month."
Female participants were at a disadvantage since the wish involved romancing a woman.
There were also wishes with a difficulty rating of five stars, like "Participate in underground boxing matches," "Take part in international competitions," and "Win one hundred million dollars with a hundred dollars in Las Vegas."
These were far from achievable for ordinary people.
After some deliberation, Lewis made his decision, his finger landing on one. "The 133rd wish."
"133rd?" The host followed his finger and instinctively read it out loud, "Complete 10,000 push-ups, 10,000 sit-ups, 1,000 pull-ups, and run a marathon, all in one day."
The host gave him a strange look and asked, "Are you sure about this one?"
"Yes."
"Alright, you've chosen your wish. You can start now."
"Thanks."
Lewis turned and left, with the cameraman trailing behind him.
From now on, until Lewis fulfilled his wish or gave up, he would be under live brast.
Of course, except for using the restroom.
...
In the villa, the last participant had also chosen their wish to challenge. The production team returned to the villa's main hall.
Inside the hall, there was a massive screen divided into 100 squares, each corresponding to one of the 100 challengers.
Beneath the screen was a long table where five people sat on both sides.
They were the two hosts of the show, male host Ash and female host Rose.
"Let's begin," Ash said.
The cameraman gave an OK gesture, and the five of them slightly adjusted their states.
The next second, the live brast started.
"Welcome to 'Bucket List,' I'm Ash."
"I'm Rose."
"This program is independently produced by Sky Group and will film in a 24/7 live brast format, documenting the status of 100 challengers for everyone."
"Now, each challenger has selected the wish they want to fulfill."
"In the coming days, Rose and I, along with three observers, will explain everything to you."
"Before we start, let me introduce the three observers."
"This is best-selling author James, this is singer Zoe, and this is National First-Class Actor Blake."
As "Bucket List" officially launched, the ratings began to surge in a terrifying manner.
When the program was first announced, it caused a huge commotion and sparked heated online discussions. Countless people were looking forward to its premiere.
A billionaire, famous on the global rich list, founded such a program after his death.
All one had to do was fulfill the late gentleman's wishes to receive a reward.
One that was irresistible.
The very idea was a huge gimmick.
So, when the production team announced it, netizens across the country went wild.
Of course, there were skeptics too.
Not just netizens, even the production team was filled with doubts when they first received the notification.
It was beyond the scope of normal reality shows. When Hunter and the company's leaders contacted the production team, they thought they were joking.
Until they confirmed it was real, their excitement was indescribable.
As media professionals, the production team knew full well how huge a sensation this would cause if truly made into a show, how terrifying the heat it would generate.
Even the two hosts would gain fame and status as the show aired.
When "Bucket List" began recruiting challengers, over a million people signed up in just a day.
This data proved how incredibly popular the show was.
There were even members of the production team who tried to manipulate the process to get their friends and relatives on the show.
But it couldn't be done.
The production team's task was to commentate and create atmosphere.
Everything else was handled by Sky Group.
The filming team was the top team hired by Sky Group from across the country.
The application and selection process were also notarized by a third-party hired by Sky Group to ensure absolute fairness, impartiality, and transparency.
The show had just started and within ten minutes, the ratings topped the charts in Magic City for its timeslot!
Besides television, it was also live-streamed online.
Their partner platform was Tiger Shark, one of the top three in the country, with hundreds of major brasters across various channels.
But today, the hottest thing was undoubtedly "Bucket List."
And for a long time to come, "Bucket List" would dominate the charts.
Ash said, "Mr. Hunter's 199 wishes have already spread online. I believe you've all seen them."
"The most selected wish in this episode is the 14th: Parachuting from a fixed point at 20,000 meters high."
"Zoe, if it were you, which wish would you choose to challenge?"
After thinking for a moment, Zoe said, "I might choose street singing."
Rose smiled and said, "The requirements for street singing aren't low. It not only requires original songs but also earning 100,000 USD in a day."
Zoe said, "Writing original songs is relatively easy, but earning 100,000 USD purely through street singing is difficult, almost impossible to complete."
Ash asked again, "James, which wish do you think is the hardest to fulfill?"
James didn't hesitate, "Crossing the Pacific Ocean."
Blake nodded as well, "This is indeed the hardest."
Ash said, "Yeah, I was stunned when I saw that wish."
In the Tiger Shark live stream, the number of online viewers had reached one million and was still continuously rising.
A flood of comments overwhelmed the screen.
"Crossing the Pacific Ocean? That's not something humans can do, okay?"
"I now seriously doubt Mr. Hunter ever thought anyone could complete these."
"That's too absolute. If I were dying, I'd also want to do something impossible. It's normal."
"I just want to know which wishes these challengers have chosen."
"Hehehe, I'm here to see how these challengers get tortured."
