Chapter 33 "Then I'll cut you down now."...

Jiang Wenxi started to have a problem here.

Although Yu Shuling's attitude towards him wasn't very good just now, she was indeed doing her job. As a result, Jiang Wenxi's opinion of her changed slightly, and now he wants to finish the program well.

A young man in his twenties is at an age where he cares about his image and doesn't want to lose face in front of the audience. Jiang Wenxi was determined to perform well, but he was stumped once again right from the start.

Does Yu Shuling mean that he should go down from here without any safety equipment?

Aren't you afraid he'll fall? He still has so many commitments to make!

Yu Shuling, below, had no idea what he was dawdling about. She figured if he kept dawdling, the other side would probably finish by now. So she tugged at the rope and shouted loudly, making sure the people above could hear her:

"Jiang Wenxi, are you even capable? If not, let me do it!"

If this had been said before, Jiang Wenxi's fans would probably have criticized her, but judging from Yu Shuling's recent performance, she might actually be quite capable. The Chenxi fans, having been in the industry for many years, quietly fell silent.

A flurry of "hahaha" comments flashed across the screen.

[This is my first time watching this show, is it a comedy?]

[When I saw that this episode invited several popular celebrities: Oh no. Ten minutes later: This might be a good ship? Twenty minutes later: I'm shipping them (×) Let's see them fight to the death ()]

[The preceding comments are my internet mouthpiece]

Why is Jiang Wenxi so timid? Does he have a fear of heights? He didn't seem to perform very well before.

To be honest, while I don't like these kinds of popular young male celebrities either, Yu Shuling seems just too amazing. Who said Yu Shuling is just a pretty face? Can I have a dozen of these pretty faces? I'd just say: Hey, wife!

Yu Shuling was unaware that the comments on the screen had begun to become more favorable towards her, unlike in the dating reality show where everyone was initially criticizing her.

After waiting for two seconds and seeing no response, Yu Shuling jumped up, grabbed the rope, and began to climb up as nimbly as a monkey. She climbed so fast that Jiang Wenxi didn't even have time to react before she was halfway up, and had to slowly pull the rope up to bring her up.

Yu Shuling called out to Jiang Wenxi to get on the big wooden tub together.

The wooden barrel slowly sank, and Jiang Wenxi sensed something was wrong; they were sinking rather quickly. But before she could say anything, they were plunged into darkness after the speed increased, and when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in a room-like structure.

A gasp of surprise came from the guests above.

The secret room was filled with gold and silver treasures placed by the production team, with cheap special effects. There was even a flashlight in the back to increase the light, which made Jiang Wenxi wonder if they were paper ingots bought directly from a funeral home.

However, this saying was a bit ominous, so he remained silent and instead carefully observed his surroundings.

The production team still knows how to save money where possible, especially since they spent a lot of money inviting Jiang Wenxi, a top celebrity, for this episode. They didn't put much effort into small details that only a few guests could see, and the cost probably didn't exceed twenty yuan.

As the two were observing, a voice suddenly rang out:

"Congratulations to you two for cracking the secret of the well water. You have stumbled upon a treasure trove. If you wish to obtain the treasure here, you may choose to activate the hidden path."

The barrage of comments was even more intense than before:

Wow, this is exciting!

[I'm so excited! My favorite moment of the undercurrent (betrayal) is here!]

This episode is truly a big production; it's been so long since we've seen a hidden storyline!

The concept of a hidden storyline is something that "Wilderness Secrets" has had before, but that was in the early days of the show. It seems that the production team forgot about this concept afterward, and in each episode, the guests just solved the wilderness survival and various NPC events on their own, without mentioning the hidden storyline again. However, it has been added back this time, which shows how ambitious they are for ratings.

The so-called "undercover agent" is actually equivalent to a dual identity. On the surface, they are with the outsiders, but in reality, the person who uncovers the undercover agent is part of a group, and they often have different missions from the main force.

Their mission was to have their companions pocket the gold and silver treasure, which also meant joining a bandit's den. After entering Changshou Village, they had a mission to "kill" NPCs.

People haven't officially gone inside yet, so they don't know the theme yet, but judging from the bandit theme, it's already pretty much a spoiler.

While Jiang Wenxi was still hesitating, Yu Shuling stepped forward, picked up the two short "daggers" that were placed in the gold and silver mountain, put one into her own pocket, and handed the other to Jiang Wenxi.

Jiang Wenxi didn't answer, and looked at Yu Shuling with a serious expression:

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

The program aims to promote collectivism and convey positive energy. How could they so easily join the bandits' den? This must be a test from the production team.

And even if it was for the sake of the show, the two of them could have joined, it must have been after several rounds of deliberation, right?

Jiang Wenxi was surprised that Yu Shuling was so blunt, and immediately felt disgusted.

"What if I refuse to join?"

As soon as Jiang Wenxi finished speaking, Yu Shuling, whose eyelids had been slightly lowered, suddenly lifted them, took a step forward, and with a flick of her wrist, pulled the knife out of her pocket and easily held it against his neck.

Her eyelashes were curled, her eyes blinked, and although she had an innocent and harmless appearance, her smile at this moment revealed a dangerous and alluring quality.

"Then I can just chop you up right now and keep all the money for myself."

Jiang Wenxi: "..."

audience:"……"

Is it permissible to broadcast this scene that does not conform to the concept of "positive energy"?

Yu Shuling glanced at Jiang Wenxi as if he were an idiot.

She said, "Why is the male lead so stupid?"

This show is an immersive experience, and the murders aren't real; it's just a game. Of course, you can let loose and do whatever you want. Why not make money instead of nagging about how this affects her?

"You can either lie down now, or lie still. Choose one."

Lying down means she has "killed" Jiang Wenxi, but she hasn't asked the production team about it yet, so she doesn't know if it's possible. She'll probably have to confirm with the director before she leaves.

The latter, of course, means that Jiang Wenxi will listen to everything she says from now on. Anyway, the two of them are already in the same boat, at least in this program.

Jiang Wenxi's face flushed red and then turned pale.

He had never been threatened by a girl like this before. Jiang Wenxi thought he hadn't reacted in time. After all, he had never seen a female celebrity who was so unpredictable and didn't care about her image.

However, he was afraid that Yu Shuling might actually "kill" him on the spot and make him go offline. Since he had already come to this announcement, Jiang Wenxi did not want to leave in disgrace after being eliminated in the first round, so he could only choose the latter in a humiliating way.

While the people above were still figuring out how to save them, the two men had already arrived. Xiao Shu, with his keen eyes, noticed that the atmosphere between the two men was quite different from before.

Yu Shuling's gaze towards Jiang Wenxi was filled with an irrepressible smile, making him imagine many ambiguous and affectionate scenarios.

For example, when they encountered a dark, secret room down below, Yu Shuling was frightened, and Jiang Wenxi came to her rescue, bravely protecting her behind him. Jiang Wenxi was tall and handsome, sang very well, and danced quite well; few girls could resist him.

Not only Xiao Shu, but several other guests thought the same way.

Kawana stepped forward and stood next to Yu Shuling, silently observing her. Sensing that this girl had a high level of affection for her, Yu Shuling knew she was a tsundere who said one thing but meant another, probably just shy and embarrassed to tell her, and was now checking if she was injured.

Yu Shuling, of course, wouldn't refuse such a kind offer, and patted Kawana on the shoulder generously:

"You're not hurt, don't worry."

Not only was she unharmed, she also gained a soldier.

Yu Shuling didn't think there was anything wrong with treating the male lead as a lowly soldier; in fact, she saw it as a form of causing trouble.

"Thank you, Brother Wenxi, for protecting me just now."

Yu Shuling was very dedicated and did not forget her task. She sweetly called out to Jiang Wenxi and then picked up the key and handed it to Zhou Ya, indicating that she should take everyone to the longevity village.

The village looked eerie, and Yu Shuling, being a "green tea" (a manipulative woman), naturally acted pitiful and timid, and there was no way she would be at the forefront.

Jiang Wenxi gritted his teeth, forcibly enduring Yu Shuling's sarcasm, and strode forward.

After the group entered the longevity village, a plot point was triggered, and a kind-looking old man came in to guide them and told them their identities.

They were a tour group heading to the Longevity Village to explore its secrets. The Longevity Village is world-renowned for its longevity, with an average lifespan of 120 years. However, in the past two years, due to the destruction of the water source, many people in the Longevity Village have begun to leave. With fewer people farming, planting trees, and maintaining the water supply, coupled with the opening of a factory not far away that has started polluting the water source from upstream, this utopia has also been destroyed.

The people in the longevity village no longer live as long, and since it's a small village, it gradually became sparsely populated.

Their mission is to find the source of the water pollution in Changshou Village within five days and five nights, solve the village's drinking water problem, and in return, they can obtain a bottle of "longevity water" treasured by the village chief.

Yu Shuling and Chuan Nai were assigned to the same room, which had a double bed. Although the room was rather old, the sheets and disposable items were very clean.

Before arriving, Yu Shuling had watched several edited episodes of "The Wilderness Secrets" and knew that the production team's unconventional and truly immersive approach was their usual practice. At this moment, as dusk fell, the entire village was shrouded in mist, enveloping the longevity village in a mysterious atmosphere.

No one knew what strange things might happen that night, but experienced players would conserve their energy and wait for the next day to put on a good show. Yu Shuling dragged a chair to the door to block it before going to wash up. When she came out, Kawana was already lying in her bed. She moved lightly, trying not to wake her roommate, but as she passed by the window, she saw a dark shadow flash by.
