"Sister Yiyi, are you sure you want to bring so many things?"

Baomei came over to help Qiao Yiyi pack her things and, by the way, helped her shoot the five-minute island vlog required by the production team. This is a common process in many variety shows, and she is no stranger to it.

But why do other female artists stuff their suitcases with all kinds of beauty products, skin care products, and beautiful clothes, while hers are filled with soybean paste, homemade pickles, and mini hot pots...

Seeing her taking out the simple outdoor cooking equipment that Lihua Kitchenware had given her and observing how she stuffed it in, Baomei couldn't help but hold her forehead and said, "Sister Yiyi, you're going to participate in a variety show, not to survive in the wilderness. It's useless to bring these things. Can the production team not give you food?"

Qiao Yiyi chuckled and said, "It's better to be prepared than to be afraid of a thousand things. Bring more things with you to be prepared."

Bao Mei was helpless and sighed off-camera, saying to the audience who were about to watch the vlog: "Look, this is the foodie artist I brought with me, absolutely amazing."

After that, he reminded Qiao Yiyi: "Did you bring your face mask? The ultraviolet rays on the island are very strong, so you should always bring some sunscreen."

Qiao Yiyi slapped her forehead: "Oh, right!"

Although this person is naturally beautiful and has skin that is so good that it makes people grit their teeth, sun protection is still necessary. After all, exposure to ultraviolet rays can accelerate aging.

Finally, the packing was completed. Qiao Yiyi looked at the two large suitcases and a backpack in front of her and clapped her hands with satisfaction. One suitcase was filled with food and drinks, enough for her to spend a month on the island, which made her very satisfied.

In the other box were daily necessities and some casual and comfortable clothes. She didn't want to outshine anyone else, and since she was on an island, she could do whatever was comfortable for her.

After filming, Baomei simply edited and processed the video and posted it on Qiao Yiyi's Weibo, which immediately attracted a group of weirdos.

Did you go to bed early today? [Hahahahaha, Qiao Yiyi, what's wrong with you? Are you planning to open a snack shop on the island with so much food?]

As the producer, Beishi not only invested heavily in the production of this show, but also in its operation and promotion. The variety show "My Dream Town" has become a hit even before it aired, with rumors circulating online even before it was even filmed.

Some people are looking forward to it, while others sneer at it - many programs in the past have been much ado about nothing, with overwhelming publicity before the broadcast and complete failure after the broadcast.

This is the first time that Beishi has entered the variety show industry. Having invested so much money at once, aren’t they afraid of not getting their money back?

Netizens quickly retorted that these people were just worrying about something else, saying that someone making only 2,000 or 3,000 yuan a month could be making hundreds of millions of yuan a day. It's just entertainment; take it seriously and you'll lose.

Return to the comment section of Qiao Yiyi’s vlog.

Invincible Little Cat: [Hahahahahaha, Qiao Yiyi, are you a squirrel? You hoard so many things!]

Prince Bie Ma: [Hahahaha, that paste is the same as the one at my house. My mom likes to make spicy hot pot for us. It’s so delicious!]

What to eat for lunch: [Really? Really? Recommend it to me!]

The loving mother guards the middle line: [My silly baby, you brought so many things with you, what if the production crew takes them away? ]

Domineering Yiyi Falls in Love with Me: [The loving mother above, please don't be so rude. This isn't a closed audition, how could they possibly collect an artist's luggage?]

My mom's eldest son: [Hahahaha, Jiumin, you're so funny, are you sure you don't want to get two nice outfits?]

Reject He Yao 83 times: [The person above, you are calling Sister Yiyi "husband" with Qin Yiyang's profile picture. Are you trying to tell us that Sister Yiyi is Qin Yiyang's father?]

【Hahahahaha, @mother's good son, I'll send you up there to embarrass you.】

@Qiao Yiyi, come and recognize your son! @Qin Yiyang, so this is the relationship between you and Sister Yiyi. Squinting smile.jpg]

My dearest son: [……]

It's over, she's dead.

That night, with the help of Baomei, Qiao Yiyi carried her luggage to the airport.

The island is located in City Y, a coastal city far away from City A. It is also the property of the Northern Lion Group and is planned to be developed into a new type of entertainment destination integrating sightseeing, tourism and vacation.

Because her luggage was too much and too heavy, Baomei checked it in for her, and she wouldn't be able to see her for the next month.

Baomei: "Sister Yiyi, you must take good care of yourself over there. Eat on time, go to bed early, and don't stay up late."

Qiao Yiyi: "Baby, have you noticed that you are becoming more and more like your mother?"

Bao Mei snorted, "It's all for your own good. By the way," she warned, "There are quite a lot of people participating in the show this time, and I heard that many big names are coming too, so you must be more restrained when the time comes. And that Chi Wei, although she is also in our company, I don't recommend you to get too close to her. Not everyone can be your friend."

Qiao Yiyi put her hands on her shoulders and pushed her back: "Okay, okay, I get it! You're really getting more and more nagging. Maybe I'll be eliminated in the first week and can go home right away!"

Baomei: “…”

She turned around and glared at her worthless artist: "How could you curse yourself to be eliminated early? Can't you think of something better?"

Qiao Yiyi smiled at her, a shrewd glint in her eyes. "It's mainly because it's very cost-effective! Think about it, working in a short time and earning a lot of money, what a bargain!"

"Okay, okay, go in quickly." Baomei no longer had any hope for her, so she decided to stay as long as she could.

Three hours later, the plane arrived in City Y.

Qiao Yiyi took back her suitcases, carried two large suitcases by herself, and also carried a backpack. She also picked up a bag of first aid medical supplies that Baomei's mother remembered before leaving. Baomei's mother probably understood that Qiao Yiyi was going to participate in a wilderness survival program.

It's fun to just stuff things in, but it's a nightmare to carry luggage.

When she came here, Baomei had her help, so Qiao Yiyi didn't think it was a big deal. But now that she is alone, she realizes how troublesome it is.

After getting off the elevator, she walked out along the corridor to find the person who would pick her up as told by the program crew.

When she didn't want to walk down a slope, she freed one hand to hold the shoulder strap of the backpack hanging on her arm, but one of the suitcases slid down the slope as if it had legs.

Qiao Yiyi subconsciously chased the suitcase, but the other one had its own ideas and started playing on the "slide" out of her control.

Then... there was a bang, and the suitcase that was stuffed with a lot of food couldn't bear the weight. The moment it fell to the ground, the metal combination lock broke, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor.

Qiao Yiyi: “…”

Well, the mission failed and the snacks were almost sacrificed.

Qiao Yiyi began to regret why she brought so many things. She should have listened to Baomei earlier.

Fortunately, the other suitcase was safe and sound. She picked it up and began to squat on the ground to pick up the pile of things scattered on the ground, worrying about how to transport them away later.

At this moment, a figure squatted in front of her, and then a beautiful hand appeared in her field of vision, slender, white, and with distinct joints.

The owner of the hand also had a nice voice, with a magnetic tone: "Do you need help?"

Qiao Yiyi looked up in a daze and saw that it was a young boy. Even when he squatted down, he couldn't hide his tall stature.

He has thick eyebrows, deep eyes, a high nose bridge, and facial features that are as delicate as if they were carved.

More importantly, his face has a mixed-race feel, like an aristocratic prince who walked out of a court comic.

"Zong Chang?"

Qiao Yiyi recognized the boy in front of her.

When I participated in "Extreme Forward" some time ago, I specially studied the program. This is Zong Chang, the face of the show, who is not as popular as other guests but is equally popular. I didn't expect that he would come here after the end of this season.

Zong Chang's eyes showed surprise: "You know me?"

Qiao Yiyi nodded: "I saw it on TV. I also participated in your show last time, but you were not there that time."

Zong Chang understood: "So you are also an artist participating in Dream Town?"

Qiao Yiyi hummed and introduced herself: "I'm Qiao Yiyi."

Zong Chang was slightly surprised: "Are you Qiao Yiyi?"

Qiao Yiyi was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Zong Chang explained, "Sister Wen Rui mentioned you more than once during the recording of the show. I later rewatched that episode, and your performance was fantastic. It's just that," he lowered his eyes, a little embarrassed, "you look a little different tonight than you did the other day on the show. I didn't recognize you at first. Sorry, Teacher Yiyi."

Qiao Yiyi is the type of person who looks gorgeous when she puts on a little heavy makeup, but looks simple and elegant without makeup. In private, she likes to wear casual and comfortable clothes. It's no wonder that Zong Chang said that she looks different from the people in the program crew and didn't recognize her.

Seeing that the boy in front of her seemed to be feeling really guilty for not recognizing her, she waved her hands and said generously, "It's okay, it's not a big deal. Also, you don't have to call me teacher, just call me Yiyi, I'm not so particular. And in terms of status, I should be the one calling you teacher.

Zong Chang seemed a little frightened when he heard this: "Don't say that, then I will... call you Yiyi."

Qiao Yiyi was at a loss for words: "You can also change that 'you' to 'you', otherwise I always feel like I'm taking advantage of you because of my seniority."

Zong Chang smiled shyly.

Qiao Yiyi finally discovered that this tall, strong, nearly 1.9-meter-tall, handsome mixed-race guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was easily shy and timid, which was in stark contrast to his image.

But it can be seen that he is very friendly. Not only did he help her pick up all the things on the ground, he also took the initiative to contribute his own suitcase to help her pack her things.

The two of them walked together and soon found the airport pick-up staff.

The staff stuffed their suitcases into the trunk and drove to the island.

Qiao Yiyi looked out the car window at the night scene of Y City passing by quickly and asked, "Are we staying on the island tonight?"

The staff nodded and said, "Yes, everyone will be staying at the hotel on the island tonight. Once the show starts, you will have to find your own accommodations."

Find a place to live on your own?

Qiao Yiyi and Zong Chang were both shocked.

Qiao Yiyi mentally exclaimed. What kind of variety show doesn't provide accommodations? I have to find one myself?

"Well, can I terminate the contract now and go back?" Qiao Yiyi asked cautiously.

The staff member burst out laughing and said, "Of course not."

Qiao Yiyi shed sad tears. She finally understood why the program crew gave her so much notice fee. It turned out that it was all premeditated.

It is true that money is hard to earn and everything is hard to eat.

It is hard to imagine what harsh conditions may follow.

Fortunately, she was smart and brought so many delicious food and drinks. It turned out to be a good idea to stock up more things at that time.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yiyi didn't feel so sad anymore.

The car drove on the night road for nearly an hour, finally crossed a bridge, and made many turns to reach the island.

An extremely luxurious hotel stands before our eyes, its lights blending with the night sky, making it even more magnificent.

Qiao Yiyi and Zong Chang were led into the hotel by the staff, and along the way they met many other artists who came to participate in the recording of the program.

Many of them look familiar, but I can't name them.

They screamed and exclaimed to each other, "You are so-and-so. I've seen the drama you acted in! I like you so much."

Then they went to find their own rooms in confusion.

Qiao Yiyi got her room card, and Zong Chang was very gentlemanly and considerate and helped her carry her suitcase to the door of her room before going to find his own room.

Then the hotel staff brought us delicious midnight snacks.

The staff asked them to eat and drink well tonight and go to bed early, because all the cameras on the island will be turned on early tomorrow morning, and this will most likely be their most comfortable night.

Qiao Yiyi: “…”

It sounds like the "Last Supper".

The next day, she finally understood why the staff had given such instructions the night before.

At six o'clock in the morning, she was awakened by a long whistle coming from somewhere, and then someone knocked on the door and said they were going to collect the room and asked her to pack her bags and leave quickly.

Qiao Yiyi was still immersed in the unfinished dream of getting rich. Her head was dizzy at the moment and she had no idea what was happening.

Ten minutes later, seeing no movement inside, the knocking and urging sounds were heard again.

Qiao Yiyi finally woke up a little, climbed out of the bed with difficulty, took out a piece of clothing from the suitcase with sleepy eyes and put it on, then began to wash and pack her luggage.

When she went out, she saw several guests wandering in the corridor with the same confused look on their faces as her.

Everyone seemed a little overwhelmed, and their clothes looked hastily dressed.

Of course, there are also female artists who are always ready for battle, already wearing exquisite makeup and elegant clothes. Compared with Qiao Yiyi, they are simply shining.

At this time, the broadcast sounded: "Everyone, please bring your luggage and gather in the lobby on the first floor."

Qiao Yiyi carried her two suitcases with difficulty. One of them was tied to the lock with a rope that Zong Chang had found, and it was barely able to hold it up.

The group took the elevator directly to the first floor and headed to the lobby.

At the same time, the cameras in the hall were turned on.

Some viewers had set their alarms and woke up early to wait in the live broadcast room just to not miss their own performance.

[Where's my Xiaoqu? Is she still awake?]

[I haven't seen my little girl yet. I wonder if she forgot she had to record the show today.]

[Here, here, someone's coming. It's Pei Zhen! Wow, Pei Zhen is amazing, her makeup looks so beautiful today!]

[Oh my god, Lian Ru is here too! Isn't she a movie star? And she's even on a variety show!]

[Wait, that guy coming back from a run is Uncle Jin? I heard he's very self-disciplined and would get up at 4:30 in the morning to go for a run. I didn't expect it to be true!]

[Looking for our Zong Chang Xiaobao? This is the first time we're recording a program with so many people. I hope the autistic child won't be too shy.]

[Want to know if the one carrying two large boxes is Qiao Yiyi? ]

[Hahaha, that's her. After watching her vlog, I almost moved my home here.]

[She looks like she just woke up and hasn't even put on any makeup. Wait, is she wearing her top backwards? It feels tight around her neck.]

[Ah, that seems to be true. I have the same style, but the small button is on the back, not the front.]

[Hahahahaha, Qiao Yiyi looks just like me this morning, in a hurry, I put my sweater on inside out. But if you don't look closely, you can't really tell.]

[But Qiao Yiyi looks really good without makeup. She looks completely different than when she's wearing makeup!]

Qiao Yiyi dragged her suitcase with difficulty and tried to find an inconspicuous seat to sit down.

Several guests were already seated, one of whom was Lian Ru, a prominent film star. Lian Ru is a well-known actress with a high profile. She retired from the screen after getting married and having children. Now in her forties, she maintains a youthful and beautiful appearance, enhanced by an elegant, mature, and intellectual beauty.

But hasn't she faded out of the screen and just stayed at home to take care of her husband and children? Why is she participating in the show?

She also recognized another big name, the young actor Liu Jin, known as the Iron-blooded Man, who is also a movie emperor. Although he mostly played supporting roles, his acting skills were very good. The image of the tough but tender villain he created in a crime movie was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he is the male god of the mothers' generation.

Qiao Yiyi remembered that Baomei's mother liked Liu Jin very much. She went to Baomei's house to pick up dough several times, and she could see Baomei's mother exclaiming when the character played by Liu Jin appeared on TV. She didn't look like a star-chasing girl at all.

There is another...

When Qiao Yiyi saw her, she happened to be staring at her. Although her delicate face was dignified, there was a hint of sarcasm and disdain in her eyes.

This was Pei Zhen, a rising star who was one of the three artists Qiao Yiyi had offended by her original owner's rude remarks before she transmigrated into the book. It seemed that the boss behind Pei Zhen had also spread rumors that she was nearly banned.

Qiao Yiyi had a hunch that this was a woman not to be trifled with, so she silently looked away.

If you can't afford to offend her, you can always avoid her.

Chi Wei came over from nowhere, her smile still gentle, but her tone was filled with a hint of blame: "Sister Yiyi, didn't we agree to come together? Why didn't you call me?"

Qiao Yiyi had a question mark face: "Ah - I thought you were just talking."

Unexpectedly, Chi Wei had an aggrieved expression: "I've been waiting for your news. Are you afraid that I will drag you down? Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."

Qiao Yiyi: “…”

No, they just met once, and they decided to go together?

Besides, I didn't promise her anything, so why do I make myself look like a heartless man who plays with other people's feelings?

Sure enough, Chi Wei's fans in front of the screen were dissatisfied——

[What? No wonder Weiwei waited so long last night. She said she had someone to meet up with. Turns out it was Qiao Yiyi.]

Weiwei just arrived at Star Dream Entertainment and told us she's always loved Qiao Yiyi and considers her her idol. Is this how idols treat their fans?

[Yes, she was very excited to be able to join Qiao Yiyi's company, but she didn't expect her efforts to be met with such a cold reception.]

"But you're right, Qiao Yiyi is incredibly popular right now, so it's normal for her to look down on us newbies. I just hope she doesn't go too far for the sake of being a junior in the same company."

At this time, many people came down from upstairs one after another, including actors, singers, idols... with a wide age range, and the hall soon became lively.

Apart from the two big names Lian Ru and Liu Jin, most of them are artists who have their own topics and traffic, giving a feeling of a hundred flowers blooming.

When everyone saw someone who was more famous than themselves, they would nod and bow and call him teacher.

When meeting someone who is less famous than himself, he would act pretentiously and smile with his face but not his heart.

Qiao Yiyi is the type of person who is held in high esteem.

Although she has been very popular recently and gained many new fans, her reputation has undergone a huge reversal.

But in the eyes of some artists, especially some actors with representative works, they still don't think much of her.

The entertainment industry's chain of contempt is vividly displayed in this small group of thirty people, and it can be seen from who is sitting next to them.

As soon as Zong Chang arrived in the hall, he went straight to her and sat next to her.

The boy sitting opposite her named Zuoqu Xiaoqu was an underground rock singer and rapper. It was the first time Qiao Yiyi had heard of him.

The somewhat reserved pink-haired girl sitting next to Qu Xiaoqu was called Xiong Ying. She was a member of a girl group that was once very popular but is now quite obscure. She was probably just brought in to fill in the numbers.

A group of confused people getting together actually raised Qiao Yiyi's status a lot.

Xiong Ying pointed at Qiao Yiyi's clothes. She was too embarrassed to say it out loud in front of the two boys, so she could only remind her in a tactful way.

Qiao Yiyi didn't understand until she saw her lip movements and then looked down at her collar, only then she realized that her clothes were on inside out.

Her face turned red and she quickly left her seat to go to the bathroom to change clothes.

Zong Chang and Qu Xiaoqu were confused.

The two straight men didn't notice the change in the girl's clothes.

Qiao Yiyi rushed to the bathroom at the speed of light, wailing in her heart. She had been wearing her clothes inside out in front of so many people for such a long time, and she didn't know whether the camera was turned on at that time.

Forget it, no matter whether it is turned on or not, as long as I am not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Qiao Yiyi changed her clothes and returned to the hall as usual. From a distance, she saw Chi Wei sitting at the table with Lian Ru and Liu Jin, chatting with them.

She remembered that Chi Wei had glanced at her collar intentionally or unintentionally just now, and she should have noticed it a long time ago.

Qiao Yiyi withdrew her gaze and returned to her seat.

All 30 people arrived, and the production staff asked them to have breakfast first. After breakfast, the director gathered everyone together, glanced at everyone's luggage, and smiled meaningfully: "It seems that everyone brought a lot of things."

His eyes fell on Qiao Yiyi's two large suitcases. "Especially this Ms. Qiao Yiyi. Is she worried that our production team won't provide supplies?"

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Qiao Yiyi and couldn't help laughing.

The director changed the subject: "But we really don't plan to provide any supplies. Not only that, we're also going to take some of the things you brought."

ah?

When they heard that some of the things were going to be taken away, the smiles on everyone's faces froze instantly.

Qiao Yiyi, in particular, unconsciously moved the suitcase filled with food closer to her. The next second, she heard the director say, "Except for basic daily necessities and clothes, please hand over your cell phones, wallets, and all food and drinks to the program team for unified management. They will be returned to you after the show is finished."

"No way, so cruel?"

"Besides, will these things still be edible after a month?"

"Director, you're lying. You told us we were here on vacation and that we only needed to complete our missions. Why are you collecting things?"

"Mobile phone, I can't be separated from you!"

For a moment, complaints filled the hall.

However, the worst hit wasn't them. Qiao Yiyi suffered the most. Her entire box of spare food was confiscated by the production crew, including her small cooking utensils.

[Hahaha, I can feel Qiao Yiyi's despair! ]

[She brought the most things, and most of them were taken away.]

[Last night, the sister who said if the production team confiscates your things, come out and I promise I won't hit you.]

I don't quite understand. This isn't a closed talent show, so why are they so strict?

[We'll have to wait and see what the production team decides to do. The content might conflict with what they bring.]

After the confiscation of items, the director began to announce the rules -

"I've already told you all that this program will be recorded for a month. As you can see, this island was built not long ago, so there are still many things that are not yet complete. So we need everyone to use their wisdom and hard work to build the island and create a dream home."

Before everyone could get over the sadness of having their luggage taken away, they were told to use their wisdom and hands to build the island.

I recognize all the characters, but why don’t I understand them when they are put together?

Build an island...how to build it?

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, the director was not in a hurry to reveal it. Instead, he asked the staff to bring an exquisite box with five coin-like objects placed in it according to size.

The director told everyone, "This is the Northern Lion Coin, the base currency used for circulation on the island. Now, we will draw lots to select five leaders. The five leaders will then recruit four members to become their teammates to help them complete the mission."

"If a team is full, no more members can be selected, and members who are not selected will be transferred to the team with insufficient personnel."

"We've divided the island into six areas. Each area is different. Some are rich in resources and easy to obtain, while others are very barren. So which area you're assigned to depends on your luck."

"Each team will be given 500 Northern Lion coins as start-up capital. You can purchase the supplies and equipment you need at the official store, or exchange them between teams."

"In short, the team's goal is to work hard to earn more money, and then use this money to buy supplies and equipment for building the town. Each item or equipment is marked with a corresponding prosperity value."

"At the end of each week, we will evaluate each team based on their construction prosperity value, and the team with the lowest prosperity value will be eliminated."

"Finally, one team will be chosen to rule the island. Now, please draw lots."
