Everyone was speechless.

Looking into the director's bright eyes, several staff members felt a bad premonition.

No way?!

Could it be that their director also developed a strong interest in Gastrodia elata and wanted to join the large group digging for it?

"Director, are you trying to dig up Gastrodia elata?"

One staff member spoke bluntly, and the director looked at him and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Lin, do you know what it means to see through something but not say it?"

Xiao Lin immediately laughed and obediently apologized, "Okay, Director, I'll remember next time. I promise I won't say anything even if I see through it."

It was obvious from those words that they were just being perfunctory and lacked any sincerity, but the director wasn't annoyed. He asked, "Do you want to go dig?"

That's something I'd naturally consider, but—

"Director, it's working hours now."

The director nodded, "What I mean is we can go dig after get off work."

Then there's no problem.

"Let's go dig together after get off work."

The staff extended a sincere invitation to the director, who feigned modesty and hummed in agreement, "You invited me, it's not that I wanted to dig it up myself."

"Yes, we invited them."

However, their plan to dig for Gastrodia elata after get off work failed because someone whose brain had been hit by a meteorite damaged the ecological environment of the natural area, triggering the alarm device of the patrol robot.

Then, the few people who were digging around randomly but not filling in the holes were arrested by the robot.

As the management center of the natural area, the director and his team had to handle the follow-up events.

Furthermore, those in management also have to bear the consequences of their dereliction of duty.

I'm so angry.

However, this anger came to an abrupt end after it was discovered that this phenomenon was occurring in the natural regions of many planets.

Then, Sang Ning learned about this through the viewers' comments.

At that time, she had already successfully climbed one mountain and was heading towards the second. Upon hearing this news, she said helplessly, "Why do you all like to court death so much?"

The audience gave some bizarre reasons, saying that life was too mundane and they needed to find some excitement, otherwise life would be extremely boring.

Sang Ning was speechless. After a long silence, she suggested, "Actually, I think you guys could try following celebrities."

Why chase after celebrities? There's no need to chase after them at all. With today's technology, if we wanted to, we wouldn't need to chase after celebrities at all; we could even act in our own movies.

Yes, these days, as long as you spend a little money on a set of equipment, and have a script, you can act in whatever you want—humans, ghosts, medicine gods, cross-species roles, etc., are not obstacles.

[Horror movies are also possible, and you can choose the perspective: male protagonist's perspective, female protagonist's perspective, or even an insectoid perspective if you don't want to be human anymore.]

Next, the audience gave Sang Ning a thorough explanation of how exciting it was to act in a movie, and then strongly suggested that Sang Ning buy a set of equipment and try it out himself.

The equipment isn't expensive either.

Upon hearing that it wasn't expensive, the audience became interested and asked curiously, "How much does a set of equipment cost?"

The audience immediately quoted the prices of the various brands of equipment. Sang Ning looked at them and found that the most expensive was over 50,000 yuan, the cheapest was over 30,000 yuan, and there were no cheaper options.

Thirty thousand is the lowest price, a uniform price across the entire universe.

The price is indeed not expensive, but Sang Ning has no intention of buying it, at least not in the short term.

Are these brands reliable in terms of quality?

She grabbed a vine and climbed up, her hands and feet moving quickly.

The audience said it was reliable and even listed the advantages and disadvantages of each brand for her, showing they had done their homework very carefully. Sang Ning can simply buy according to her needs based on the list provided by the audience.

She expressed her gratitude to the audience verbally.

She continued on her journey, and an hour later, she came to an open larch forest.

It's getting dark.

After taking out the bamboo tube, opening it, and drinking a few sips of water, Sang Ning decided to have a meal before continuing his journey.

"The scenery here is quite nice, would you like to see it?"

When the audience requested it, Sang Ning switched to a wide-angle view, allowing them to take in the surrounding scenery.

The scenery was truly beautiful, but the lighting was too dim as it got dark, giving it a horror movie feel.

[It is said that there are many spirits and monsters in the wilderness, Ningning, be careful not to be carried away by them.]

[If the spirit really takes a liking to Ningning, I don't think it can withstand her medicine. It might even end up being skinned, bled, roasted, and eaten by her.]

This is outrageous; it makes Sang Ning look like a bloodthirsty thug.

"I want to reiterate that I do not eat abnormal foods."

As she spoke, she took a rice ball from the basket and began to eat.

The rice balls are filled with plenty of filling, and they don't lose their flavor even when they're cold.

The weather isn't unbearably hot yet, and the rice balls haven't spoiled.

Sang Ning ate five fist-sized rice balls before she was full. She stood up, stretched, drank some water, then found a big tree, sprinkled some medicinal powder around it, and sat down against the tree trunk, saying, "You guys play by yourselves. I'll rest for a bit before we set off."

The audience assured her that there was no problem and told her to rest assured, assuring her they would keep an eye on things.

Sang Ning thanked him and then closed his eyes.

"Have we taken the wrong road?"

A gentle female voice came through, followed by a deep, resonant male voice, "Was it wrong? I think the location route is correct."

His words were full of doubt.

The woman's voice sounded quite helpless, "It must be wrong. Our planned route was a plains route, but now it's all over the mountains. There's definitely something wrong with it."

There was a moment of silence in the woods, followed by the booming of a deep male voice.

"So, is it possible that we didn't go the wrong way, but rather that our route was planned wrong from the beginning?"

"ah?"

The woman's voice was filled with shock. Then, she suddenly raised her voice and said angrily, "Tan Kankan, the route planning was correct. It was you, with no sense of direction, who led us astray."

Tan Kankan?

Sang Ning opened her eyes, silently climbed the tree, and then, standing on the branch, she perfectly demonstrated what it means to stand high and see far, looking in the direction from which the sound came.

Then she saw a disheveled man and a woman.

Their hair was a mess, their clothes were tattered and looked like beggars' clothes, their hair was covered in weeds and fallen leaves, and their faces were covered in all sorts of colorful things, whether from dirt or deliberate smearing, making them look like little kittens.

She asked the audience softly, "What's going on with these two?"

The audience was completely baffled; they would never have imagined that two contestants would suddenly appear out of the mountains.

What's this called?

This means that Sang Ning is destined to eliminate these two.

But there's no rush. Before they're eliminated, they'll go and find out what's going on and see if anyone else is still with them.

Let's also figure out why they're here.

Viewers sent her messages in the live chat telling her to wait a moment, that they would be right back.

To avoid alerting Tan Kankan and his team, viewers couldn't even use special effects comments; they just used regular comments.
