Chapter 30 Which cheating technology is the best?

“However,” the director said, looking at the guests who were already exchanging glances and getting excited, “we need to do a check before the show officially starts.”

He smiled, and although he was announcing the rules, his gloating gaze fell on Yu Shuling:

“It has been reported by people with a sense of justice that some of us may have smuggled things over.”

Luo Ziqi was looking around when she heard this and raised her hand:

"Is this rule even here? Why didn't I see it on the 'Wilderness Code' in my room yesterday?"

"The Wilderness Rules" is the game's rulebook, which explicitly prohibits bringing food, open flames, and dangerous items into the areas designated by the production team.

However, the guests rarely carry their own survival kits when they know they are provided. After all, the show is likely to involve a lot of running around right from the start, and even dogs find it tiring, so who would want to add to their own burden?

Most of the guests and directors thought so, but soon someone proved to them that there were others, and more than one.

Tao Liang brought matches, Luo Ziqi brought cookies, and the two MCs, Xiao Shu and Zhou Ya, also hid some dried fruit and other snacks. The director scolded them severely and confiscated them.

The person we were really focusing on, Yu Shuling, had her pockets completely empty, and her clear, bright eyes were fixed on the director. She was dressed casually today, wearing a white sun-protective fringed shawl and a white baseball cap, which reminded one of the innocent, tilted head of a Samoyed.

Yu Shuling even boldly rolled up her trouser legs, revealing a section of her fair calves:

"Should we check this area too?"

The production team could only ask the guests to check their pockets; it couldn't possibly be a rigorous search like that of a criminal. The director stared at Yu Shuling with a look of disbelief for a moment. Seeing that he still had doubts, Yu Shuling took off her hat and laid it out in front of the production team.

Her expression seemed to say: No, really.

director:"……"

The director found it strange.

In the morning, a staff member came into the restaurant to get something and happened to see Yu Shuling packing food into a bag through the glass door. So he secretly told him. The director hadn't originally planned to say this, but he thought that this would let the guests experience what it's like to "go back to square one" and, incidentally, curb their attempts to be clever.

But Yu Shuling really didn't take anything?

The staff wouldn't lie through their teeth; perhaps the girl was timid and put it back after taking it.

The director caught nothing and could only wave his hand to indicate that they could form their own teams.

Tao Liang found Mu Yubing immediately, Xiao Shu took the initiative to extend a hand of friendship to Luo Ziqi, Zhou Ya did not intend to rely on the male guests, and Yu Shuling strode towards Jiang Wenxi.

“Brother Jiang,” Yu Shuling said with a bright smile, seemingly oblivious to the underlying resistance Jiang Wenxi was conveying. “Let’s go together.”

Jiang Wenxi: "..."

To be honest, he didn't want to agree to Yu Shuling's request, but she had already called him "brother," and it wasn't anything inconvenient, so refusing would have been a bit awkward.

Mu Yubing wanted to team up with Jiang Wenxi, but he was too embarrassed to leave Tao Liang alone, so he went with his friends from when he came. During his hesitation, he was left with only two choices: Chuan Nai and Yu Shuling.

Jiang Wenxi's gaze lingered on Kawana's face for only a moment before he turned away and resignedly stood in front of Yu Shuling. He was very tall and could completely block her view, so Yu Shuling couldn't see his expression either.

The fitness instructor stood next to Kawana.

Several men, poised to pounce, charged forward at lightning speed after a crisp, short whistle, instantly splashing up thick, foul-smelling mud.

Jiang Wenxi regretted it the moment he stepped into the mud. The mud clung to his shoes and quickly seeped in, soaking his clean white socks. Although he had rolled up his pants before going in, the mud splattered onto them still left marks.

Zhou Ya started at almost the same time as him. This female MC wasn't running too fast, but after entering the mud pit, she seemed oblivious to the sewage, screaming as she desperately tried to burrow into it like a fish.

What Jiang Wenxi found most unbearable was that Zhou Ya was heavier and her stomping was quite forceful. When she ran, she splashed a lot of mud and water. When they were vying for the spot, mud and water would splash right in their faces. Jiang Wenxi was extremely annoyed but couldn't directly lose his temper. After circling around the axis, he quickly dodged it again.

He can do manual labor or work in a normal artificial mud pit, but he absolutely cannot stand this kind of dirty stuff.

Jiang Wenxi's fans felt sorry for her, but some variety show fans also complained:

Why come to this show if you're a germaphobe? Everyone knows that Wilderness Secret is a survival show, right? Killing chickens and fish by yourself is commonplace. If you think it's something precious, then don't come.

I had high expectations for JWX, but I didn't expect him to be outshone even by the female MCs; they were all more hardworking than him...

[If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself! It would be one thing if you actually encountered it, but for the production team to deliberately create such a disgusting mess is just a prank on us, isn't it?]

In the first round, the fitness coach and Zhou Ya grabbed the two larger survival kits and rushed to clean the mud off their bodies after getting ashore.

At the start of the second round, Jiang Wenxi still had enough stamina, but walking back and forth along the edge, the stench of the mud was torture for him every second. To make matters worse, Yu Shuling kept urging him on, her hands cupped like megaphones:

"Brother Jiang, hurry up, or we'll be last and get the worst bag! There might not even be any matches inside, we'll have to start a fire by rubbing sticks together!"

Neuropathy!

Jiang Wenxi was already seething with anger, and Yu Shuling was not doing anything but shouting and yelling, which annoyed him so much that he almost couldn't help but say "Shut up".

The comments section gradually began to show criticism of Yu Shuling, but the system, monitoring the data, quickly offered encouragement to her:

Well done this time!

Yu Shuling then shouted even more enthusiastically. Jiang Wenxi felt as if a fire was raging in his heart. He looked around for a place where he could avoid other people and get as little mud as possible, but the time for the second round was thus consumed and ended.

The girl on the shore looked disappointed and shrugged helplessly.

The third round was the last chance. Only Xiao Shu and Jiang Wenxi remained; one was less agile than the others, and the other was unwilling to act. The remaining packages in the central area weren't very large, with one larger one deeper inside. Yu Shuling frowned, and just as the executive director was about to blow the whistle, she suddenly raised her hand:

"Director, may I switch positions with my teammate?"

"Switch positions?" the director asked doubtfully. "You're planning to switch with him?" He pointed at Jiang Wenxi, not believing that Yu Shuling could do something that a tall, strong man like Jiang Wenxi couldn't do better. But after receiving Yu Shuling's affirmative answer, he shrugged.

Jiang Wenxi frowned:

Are you sure?

He originally wanted to say "Are you sure you can do it?", but then realized it was inappropriate and changed his words, though they were essentially the same. Jiang Wenxi naturally disliked people like Yu Shuling who loved to show off. Women's physical strength is generally inferior to men's, and Yu Shuling was really going all out for the camera.

But seeing her determined look, Jiang Wenxi laughed in exasperation. He wanted to see how Yu Shuling would get there.

Having been in the mud for so long and feeling exhausted, Jiang Wenxi simply climbed ashore to observe from the sidelines.

He had originally intended to find an opportunity to cheer Yu Shuling on, but the instant the crisp whistle blew, a jet of water shot into the sky, and Yu Shuling leaped into the mud with lightning speed, rapidly churning her arms and sprinting forward in the muddy water. Xiao Shu, who was still slowly moving forward, was stunned, looking blankly at the female idol who was completely unpredictable.

Is he crazy, or is Yu Shuling crazy?!

The audience, who were either criticizing Yu Shuling or feeling indignant on behalf of Jiang Wenxi, suddenly stopped, and the barrage of "Holy crap!" completely flooded the screen.

To be honest, they never expected to jump in directly. Even though it's a survival show, the guests here still pay attention to their image. Even the crosstalk comedian Zhou Ya never thought of using this method. The water wasn't deep, about a meter deep, but it was dirty and smelly, with thick mud. It would take a lot of arm strength and physical strength to paddle through.

Jiang Wenxi was stunned, and even her teammate Chuan Nai was a little confused. The group watched as Yu Shuling suddenly threw the bag up at them, and Jiang Wenxi rushed over to catch it. Her hands were already covered in mud, but the bag was wrapped tightly in a plastic bag, so it was still clean.

Yu Shuling naturally kept the largest one for herself and gave a small package to Jiang Wenxi.

When Yu Shuling climbed out of the mud, she was covered in mud, looking exactly like a "black person." Of course, the production team couldn't let a female guest walk around on a variety show like that; otherwise, even for the sake of the show's effect, they would feel a little guilty.

Fortunately, the production team brought a motorhome, which will remain here for a while to help the guests in case of emergency. Of course, once you enter this restricted area, it means you've lost the game and are about to quit, so most of the guests will try to persevere and make it to the end.

The director quickly shouted:

"Shuling, go take a shower. You have fifteen minutes. We'll wait for you here."

The other guests only had dirty pants on their legs, which they could change and wipe with wet wipes. They didn't have any complaints about Yu Shuling's treatment, after all, not everyone could jump into the mud pit and swim, not even the fitness coach was that brave.

Yu Shuling gave an "understood" gesture and turned to walk towards the parking lot. To make it easier for her to shower, the staff adjusted the water temperature and left, leaving only the few security cameras set up outside.

Yu Shuling suddenly turned a corner and walked to the minibus they had come from.

The minibus was parked next to a thicket of bushes, beneath which grew lush, green grass. Covered in mud, Yu Shuling crouched down and reached her hand into the grass beneath the minibus.

I pulled out three neatly categorized plastic bags.

audience:"???"
