Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Survival on a Deserted Island (Add one more)

Ji Tian looked at the island not far away, no wonder Shen Zhiyi held back from revealing it. Knowing the main task, couldn’t she just research some strategies and easily leave the island?

“Now, please choose the supplies you want to take to the island. You can pay for boxed meals with money.”

[Here comes the main event! This show is wicked—torturing us at the beginning and then hitting us with a bombshell later. So thrilling.]

[Wow, this is even better than ‘Extreme Challenge’ next door. I love watching desert island survival.]

[Family note this down, Director Yan said if we don’t leave the island within five hours, does that mean we have to spend the night there?]

[Knowing the nature of this show, it’s really hard to say.]

...

In front of Yan Ming was piled a heap of resources—pots, pans, ladles, instant noodles, bread, fruits and vegetables. There were even climbing hooks and defensive sticks, all clearly priced. The cheapest instant noodles were ten yuan a bag. Ji Tian marveled at the cleverness. He could easily just rob you of your ten yuan, but instead, he gives you a bag of noodles.

The most expensive item was a pressure cooker, looking all battered as if it might fall apart any moment, priced at fifty. A boxed meal was thirty-five each, and bottled water five yuan each.

With so many items, each person could only buy two.

Compared to defensive tools, food was too expensive. Ji Tian stopped in front of an apple priced at five yuan each. The staff member in front of her had already cut one in half and was eating it. Seeing Ji Tian approaching, he asked, “Want to buy one?”

Ji Tian nodded and then shook her head. Yu Chuang came over to stop her, “You can only take two items; taking an apple isn’t worth it.”

Ji Tian gave him a knowing look, and Yu Chuang instantly understood, “Plus, we don’t even know if it tastes good. Why buy it if it doesn’t!”

Ji Tian made a face as if she wanted to buy but found it expensive, hesitatingly she said, “Then… can I try it? I’ve never known what an apple tastes like in my life. Can I? If it tastes good, I’ll buy it.”

Staff member: “…”

He looked into Ji Tian’s eagerly expectant dark eyes, somewhat hesitant.

Yu Chuang continued, “Just let us taste it. Otherwise, how would we know if it’s sour or sweet, bitter or tangy? If we buy it, it’s our loss, especially at five yuan apiece. Isn’t this just daylight robbery? Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

The staff member nodded helplessly, “Alright.”

Just as he was about to hand over the other half he was holding, Ji Tian, with her quick eyes and quick hands, picked the biggest one and skillfully cut it into four pieces, giving each of the four people a quarter.

After eating, Ji Tian licked her lips, still savoring the taste, “Yu Chuang bro, was it good?”

“Not good.”

“I thought so too, tastes kind of spicy. Next one.”

The conned staff member: “…” Damn, I’ve encountered bandits in broad daylight!

Gong Yu looked at Ji Tian’s profile and couldn’t help but laugh. She really was adorable.

[Hahaha, it’s the first time I’ve heard that apples are spicy. Don’t be absurd.]

[Learned! Learned! The highest form of freeloading is tasting. I’ll try this sometime.]

[As long as I’m shameless, I am invincible. She doesn’t even care about her wealthy family heiress image.]

Ji Tian continued tasting her way through, getting half-full by the end, until Yan Ming came over to keep an eye on them, making Ji Tian reluctantly stop.

That was a close call, almost let them get full before they even got to the island!

Shen Zhiyi had almost finished packing: an iron rod for defense, two boxes of rice, a thick compressed biscuit, two bottles of water, insect repellent, and a compass.

While Ji Tian’s group was still discussing, she had already set her eyes on a large pot: “Bring that pressure cooker along, if we get hungry on the way we can have something warm to eat.”

Yu Chuang: “… Are you planning to live on the island? That thing’s pretty heavy.”

“No, in five hours, we should be able to leave this wretched island.”

“Let her bring it,” Gong Yu said, “I’ll carry it.”

He Chenxi nodded, indicating no objections.

Yu Chuang: “… Let’s buy it.”

After deducting fifty from one hundred thirty-five, they still had eighty-five yuan.

They also took three packs of instant noodles, a defensive iron stick was indispensable, two bottles of mineral water, and finally, she picked out a fruit knife.

In total, they had five yuan left.

After packing, the eight of them were ready to depart.

Before leaving, Director Yan reminded everyone again using a megaphone, “The current time is 9:40. The arrival at the fishing island is scheduled for 10 a.m. Please ensure to reach the fishing island dock before 3 p.m. to catch the boat. There are two boat trips a day, at 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. Missing these means waiting until the earliest trip tomorrow morning. Please try to leave the deserted island. Depart.”

The cable car was large, but for safety reasons, it could only carry two people at a time.

Shen Zhiyi’s team had already disappeared; the production team would place the two teams in different locations.

The island was very large, and unless they were at the dock, they would hardly meet.

Director Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief when they all had departed.

Out of the camera’s reach, a crew member anxiously handed a phone to Director Yan: “Director Yan, we can’t suppress public opinion anymore. Our show is getting heavily criticized.”

Director Yan looked at the bullying scandal topic that had over a million mentions and felt an immense headache. Today was a critical point for the show, and he couldn’t afford to have Ji Tian’s team one member short because of He Chenxi, as it would force him to end the show prematurely.

Then the days of groundwork and promotion would be wasted, and even if the storm of public opinions concentrated on his show, he couldn’t stop.

He took a deep breath and ordered, “Keep deleting comments! The participants are already recording the show, and no amount of outrage from the netizens will help now. Everything can only be addressed when He Chenxi comes out.”

The crew member still looked pale. “What if the show gets banned?”

Director Yan smiled confidently, “With members of wealthy families on my show, it won’t get banned. I can only ensure peace for He Chenxi during this phase of the show. Once she’s out, any slander or cyberbullying will have to be faced by her alone.”

The staff member relaxed a bit, but after interacting with He Chenxi over the past few days, he hesitated before asking, “Did she truly bully her teammates, or did someone blow this up out of proportion for blocking their interests, trying to trap her?”

“I don’t know.” Director Yan shook his head and looked towards the distant cable cars slowly landing on the island, “What’s true and false online, who can say for sure? It’s difficult to judge. If Wu Qin’er had died, then her situation would become even more perilous, confirmed as a bully. I could only remove her footage afterward to avoid the storm. It really is problematic. Let the team know to prepare.”

The uproar online brought an unprecedented influx of viewers to the live stream.

Due to backstage control over comments, the harsh abuses were not displayed in the live chat, keeping the atmosphere relatively cheerful and enjoyable.

Ji Tian and her group disembarked from the cable car, which stopped for only two minutes before leaving the station, crisscrossing the island’s towering trees and traversing the island, finally looping back to the starting point.

They were on this side; therefore, Shen Zhiyi’s team was placed on the opposite side. Given the equidistant placement, Ji Tian deduced that the dock was located in the middle. Facing two paths, one a mountain path and the other leading into the woods, they prudently chose the mountain path without any cover.
