The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 123: Maya Monroe Is So Cool

Moreover, when it comes to going home, Maya Monroe already has full confidence. She found nearly half of the cards yesterday, so all that’s left is to follow her own plan, and there shouldn’t be any problems.

After living in such difficult conditions for so many days, the allure of a sumptuous breakfast is quite significant. The guests enjoyed a rare moment of dining in the rainforest, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly harmonious.

After breakfast, all the cameras returned to working mode.

Maya Monroe left the dining table; she was going to look for the golden key.

This time her movements were very swift, after all, the sooner she found the card, the sooner she could leave this godforsaken place. Having been stranded here for five or six days, Maya couldn’t stand it any longer, she was itching to grow wings and fly back immediately.

[LittleMouse: Ahhhhhhh, the live broadcast is finally on! Maya, I’m here!]

[GossipMixer: Anybody know what exactly happened yesterday? The show’s official Weibo said there was an issue with the cameras, but that’s obviously nonsense, so does anyone know what actually happened?]

[SugarCandy: A big event happened yesterday, the guests had an accident. The livestream replay on the official website is edited, but you can try your luck on other sites.]

[Monroe: Yesterday really scared me! Luckily all the guests are fine. According to the officials, the snake was released by the show to scare the guests. I have to say, it was very realistic! Maya was incredibly brave running over there!]

[PetalFlower: For those who don’t understand, it’s obvious the show’s controlling the narrative to suppress the hype. Does any part of that incident look staged to you? Regardless, Maya was truly courageous! I don’t even know how she moved so fast, I absolutely adore her!]

During the incident, almost all cameras were turned off, but the scene of Maya heroically fighting the snake remained in the livestream.

The show’s team brushed off the incident with the excuse of "variety show effect", but many people weren’t buying it. The team is still suppressing the trending topics to control the situation from blowing up. Fortunately, all the guests and crew were unharmed, so the situation wasn’t particularly dire.

Unexpectedly, the scene of Maya saving everyone was edited into short clips that went viral on major video platforms, even hitting several trending topics.

Audiences love a talented and good-looking celebrity, and Maya is not just any ordinary talent.

Of course, Maya wasn’t aware of any of this as she focused intently on finding the clues to the golden key.

Maya proceeded in another direction based on memory. With experience from her last exploration, she moved much faster this time.

She read the words on the card, analyzing them rapidly in her mind.

While on the way, Maya encountered Jessica Young and Jamie Miller. It was said the five-person group split up for efficiency.

Jessica’s attitude wasn’t as arrogant as before, with a hint of probing, "Maya... Are you also looking for the key?"

Maya nodded slightly, feeling that Jessica was merely stating the obvious.

Jamie hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Monroe, if possible, could we share information? It would be more efficient that way..."

Jamie didn’t continue, because even though they all wanted to leave this dangerous place quickly, the clues Maya gathered were so many that he felt they’d be taking advantage of her. He doubted Maya would agree.

"Sure."

Unexpectedly, Maya agreed, leaving Jamie with a complex expression, "Monroe..."

Jessica also looked surprised. After all, finding the golden key could boost one’s popularity, and who would pass up such a great chance to gain fame?

But who could foresee that Maya agreed, she actually consented to share.

Jessica found herself increasingly unable to understand Maya. She had seen plenty of scandals about Maya before, thinking she was dumb and troublesome, attributing her rising fame to backstage support.

But now, Jessica had to admit Maya was far different from the rumors; she was indeed a captivating person.

Setting aside all prejudice and biased views, Maya was simply a walking radiant presence.

Maya didn’t know what they were thinking, and asked patiently, "Aren’t there three more people? Call them all over!"

After all, the more people, the better to search.

Maya had gathered all the cards, and the final clue pointed to a vast area. Since yesterday, she hadn’t taken a break and now didn’t feel like moving. Having others help find it was undoubtedly best; she could sit by and rest while watching the show.

This last phase of the search was akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Maya initially felt some vague guilt, but seeing Jamie’s delighted face, her last bit of unease vanished.

Though these two were also a bit odd, eagerly finding work to do.

"Monroe, are you really willing to share with us? You don’t have to feel pressured..."

"Of course." Maya quickly responded, fearing they might regret it.

Jamie and Jessica were astonished by Maya’s "generous" gesture, until she led them to a wide area overgrown with weeds.

Jamie asked, "Monroe, what do you mean...?"

Maya found a cool spot to sit, leaning against a big tree, sitting on a few broad leaves.

She coughed twice, "I’ve collected all the clues, and according to the cards, the golden key is around this place. Quickly look for it, so we can go home sooner."

Jessica paused, "Which specific spot is this? Can you be more precise?"

"If I knew more specifics, would I need you? Start digging, this whole area is possible. If not, find a stick and poke the tops of trees, maybe something will fall."

As Maya spoke, she placed another leaf over her head to shield herself from the scorching sun.

Everyone else paused; Justin Morgan, although shrinking back, still asked, "So you called us over just because you don’t want to search anymore? But you’ve already found so many clues, wouldn’t finding the golden key boost your popularity?"

Popularity? Maya wasn’t interested in gaining fame.

"Less talking, more doing, start looking!"

After speaking, Maya leaned further against the tree, without any other motion, clearly not wanting to move at all, fully displaying a lazy demeanor.
