Chapter 7
Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother
Qin Yitan touched the back of his head, which was still hurting. He could not help but complain, âI donât know what Lu Mingyuâs sister ate as a child, but she has so much strength. By the way, whatâs her name again?â
âLu Yang,â the assistant replied.
âWhere did she come from? Iâve never heard of Lu Mingyu having a sister.â
âIâm not sure about that...â
Qin Yitan turned to the side and looked around. He fixed his eyes on Lu Yang, who was standing there. He squinted his eyes under the sunlight and thought for a moment. He then headed toward Lu Yang while harboring an evil thought.
Chen Su was on guard when Qin Yitian approached, as nothing good ever happened with him.
âThis brat...â
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang casually retracted her gaze and looked at the unwelcome guest.
âNice to meet you,â Lu Yang said politely.
âChen Su, is this your new recruit?â
Qin Yitan did not hide his contemptuous expression. âYou donât have a discerning eye as usual. Do you want to consider joining our company? â
âThank you.â Chen Su said in a deep voice, âBut I have very strict requirements for my celebrities. For instance, their appearance must pass the test.â
In other words, he implied that Qin Yitanâs looks did not pass his test.
Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan were often compared as they were both music composers. Every time the two stood together, Qin Yitan would always be described as Lu Mingyuâs supporting cast.
Qin Yitan gritted his teeth and turned his attention to Lu Yang. âLittle girl, this variety show isnât just for anyone. The entertainment industry isnât as glamorous as you think. Donât cry your eyes out in front of the camera and run for your mother!â
It was Chen Suâs duty to protect Lu Yang. He wanted to say something but was stopped by her.
Lu Yang had a faint smile on her face. She raised her head and said calmly, âYouâre right, senior. I have little knowledge and still have a lot to learn. Iâm not like senior, who knows how to prepare for a rainy day and find the program group in advance to find a sponsor.â
Qin Yitanâs face turned pale, and he was shocked.
âCould it be that she knows my secret agreement with the program team? That shouldnât be the case. I did this without anyone knowing,â he mused.
Qin Yitan tried his best to calm down. He felt that Lu Yang must have just said that coincidentally. He regained his composure and reached out to grab Lu Yangâs arm but was blocked by Lu Mingyu, who had appeared out of nowhere.
Lu Mingyu pushed his hand away and said unfriendly, âThereâs no need for physical contact. Come find me if youâre looking for a fight.â
The incident of Lu Mingyu scolding Qin Yitan at the music festival had not yet ended. Qin Yitan was not beaten up last time because someone else had stopped Lu Mingyu. However, no one could stop Lu Mingyu now. Qin Yitan did not dare to stay any longer for fear that Lu Mingyu would take revenge on him and slap him.
âMingyu, do you have any enmity with him?â Lu Yang asked curiously as she looked at Qin Yitanâs back.
She knew that Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan did not get along. However, she felt it was not as simple as fighting for resources or music awards as the internet said.
Lu Mingyu reached out and patted Lu Yangâs head. He was not modest at all. âI guess heâs just jealous because Iâm too handsome. â
Lu Yang was rendered speechless by his shamelessness. She looked into the distance and saw two figures walking away in the distance. âIf weâre talking about handsome, that Jiang Yanzhou just now was quite handsome too.â
Chen Suâs action of pressing his phone paused.
âIt was my illusion. I actually think that she has changed. She had not changed! All she thinks about is chasing after celebrities,â he thought.
âYangyang, why are you backing an outsider?â Lu Mingyu complained.
âBesides, heâs older than you. You canât be rude and call him by his name. â
âLu Mingyu, are you afraid that Iâll eat him up?â Lu Yang rubbed her brow and asked directly.
With a clatter, the phone in Chen Suâs hand fell to the ground.
Lu Mingyu and Lu Yang looked at him in unison. Chen Su picked up his phone. âMy hand is a little slippery.â
...
After all the guests had gathered, the director announced through a loudspeaker, âThe second season of the wilderness has officially begun!â
He continued, âThis program will be conducted in a two-person team. You will survive in the wild and mountainous islands. While you survive in the wild, you will also have to complete the tasks assigned by the program team. In addition, this variety show has adopted a new competition system, and a new guest will join the show halfway through the recording! Thatâs a simple introduction to the programâs rules.â
The staff took out a notebook and introduced the showâs guests one by one. The viewers were once again reveling in the bullet screen of the live stream.
The director stated, âTo celebrate the launch of the second season, the production team has carefully prepared a dazzling array of gift packs for all the guests!â
âThere werenât any packages last season, but there are now. Sure enough, the program team is making money and has more tools.â
âCould it be that these celebrities canât take the hardship and the program team is afraid that they will go on strike on the first day, so they gave them the tools?â
âThere werenât any level missions last season, so the difficulty of the level missions must have increased. Whatâs the big deal about the program team giving them some equipment?â
âMy hubby, Zhou Moli, is so handsome! But whoâs that next to him? Why havenât I seen her before?â
âIn response to the comment above, thatâs Lin Xinmeng. Sheâs Zhou Moliâs junior from the same company. Not long ago, she was on the trending search, and it stated something about her being the most beautiful volunteer.â
âSheâs wearing a white dress and looks like the campus belle of my high school! Iâm in love again!â
The director took out a megaphone and changed his tone. âHowever, as for what kind of gift packs you will receive, it will depend on your own abilities!â
âI knew it. How could the production team give out a gift pack so easily? Tsk!â
âAll of the guests are shocked. Hahahahaha!â
The staff moved the three-dimensional targets and darts over and introduced the rules in detail. âThe resources are written on these targets, such as knives, iron pots, dry food, toiletries, and so on. Each group has eight chances to throw the dart. The closer you are to the center target, the higher your score. The score will decrease from the center of the target to 10,8,6,4,2. You will not be awarded any points if you miss the target.â
He went on, âThe points can be used for two purposes. One is to exchange for supplies, and the other is to get a surprise gift pack for the team with the highest accumulated points for the entire season. As for what the surprise is, letâs keep it a secret first.â
The winning prize did not mean much to the participating guests. Everyone participated in this variety show for popularity. However, it aroused the audienceâs curiosity, so many people guessed the ultimate prize on the official Twitter account.
There was no need for group forming because the team arrangement was stipulated in the contract.
There were three teams: one with Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu, another with Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli, and the last with Qin Yitan and Wen Jian.
Everyone was in a competitive and cooperative relationship.
However, everyone felt that competition was more important than cooperation, especially between Qin Yitan and Lu Mingyu, who were famous for not getting along in the entertainment industry.
...
Qin Yitan glanced at Lu Mingyu from time to time, and the smugness in his eyes was apparent.
Fortunately, Lu Yang was at the side. Otherwise, if Lu Mingyu saw this, they would probably start fighting again.
âDirector, are the eight chances for each group the same as four darts for each person?â Lin Xinmeng, who was wearing a white cotton dress, raised her hand and asked with a smile.
