Chapter 33 World 2 [3]

As a professional in the team, Liu Chang is indeed quite capable. The place he chose is flat and seems to be some distance away from the beach.

If it weren't for the special time of these two days, this would be a very suitable place to camp.

Seeing Liu Chang throwing his backpack on the ground with satisfaction and preparing to set up the tent, Shao Qing raised his hand and asked a question as if asking a teacher.

"Teacher Liu, the terrain here is so flat and not far from the sea level. If the tide rises, will we be flooded?" Shao Qing said with a look of doubt on his face.

Liu Chang smiled and took a few steps forward. "Teacher Shao, if we want to know whether the tide will flood the flat bottom, we just need to observe carefully. Teacher Shao, do you see that pile of debris up ahead? Those are washed up by the waves."

"The distance between us and those remains is estimated to be more than 20 meters, which means that the distance between the tide and this flat land has been a full 20 meters in recent times. This distance is enough to ensure that we will not be submerged by the tide." Liu Chang's tone was extremely confident.

Shao Qing nodded and continued, "I understand what Teacher Liu means, but I've read the information and the tide doesn't always follow a regular pattern. We are indeed twenty meters away from the remains, but the height difference seems to be less than one meter."

Shao Qing paused for a moment, giving other guests and viewers watching the live broadcast time to digest the information.

"This height difference makes me feel too unsafe. I still want to camp somewhere higher. After all, if the tide rises more than one meter, our tent might be soaked by the waves. And if the tide rises more than one meter..."

Shao Qing didn't say it explicitly later, but most people know how dangerous the waves are. Every year, countless people lose their lives due to the waves.

Once carried away by the waves, the chance of survival is very slim. Human beings are not invincible in the face of nature.

"Why don't we find an open space at a higher place? Isn't it the rainy season recently? If it rains, the waves may be more violent than before." As the most senior senior, Yu Hongjun was the first to speak and stood on Shao Qing's side.

"It's fine with me. It would be nice to settle down on a higher ground so that I can see more scenery." Li Liming, who is also a safety-conscious person, echoed.

After both of them said they wanted to change places, Liu Chang, who wanted to take the opportunity to practice his professional knowledge, was not so happy anymore, and the smile on his face became a little forced.

"I understand what the teachers are thinking, and Teacher Shao's concerns are somewhat justified. But it's already past three o'clock, and if we want to move to higher ground, it will take at least another hour on the road, which means we won't have much time to set up camp."

Liu Chang continued his actions as he spoke, initially pulling the tent cloth outwards, and it seemed that he had no intention of moving.

"Setting up a tent at night when visibility is poor doesn't sound like a wise move. Why don't we camp here tonight and choose a place with higher terrain tomorrow." Zheng Xingxing said, choosing to support Liu Chang.

Zheng Xingxing debuted as the first in a talent show, boasting of her singing and dancing skills. However, Zheng Xingxing herself knew very well that as the first person recommended internally, there was not much truth in her so-called first place.

In fact, Zheng Xingxing's only good looks and voice are not good. Not only can he not sing or dance well, but his physical strength is also average. If he is asked to walk for more than half an hour with a bag weighing more than ten kilograms on his back, he will no longer be able to brag about his physical strength in front of others.

Xu Yin secretly observed the expressions on everyone's faces and quickly made a decision in his heart.

"Teacher Liu is more professional than us. I just brushed up on some knowledge before coming here, so I won't show off my skills in front of Teacher Liu. Let's camp here with Teacher Liu."

Xu Yin: "Teacher Yu, Teacher Li, Teacher Shao, if you're worried about safety, why not camp behind us? That way, even if the tide really rises, our camp will be the first to be submerged."

"If we find something wrong and notify a few teachers, they should still have time to put the things away," said Xu Yin.

After he finished speaking, he simply threw the backpack on his back to the ground and started to set up camp like Liu Chang.

Xu Yin's words were directed at you. Some viewers in the livestream were misled by his words and thought you were questioning Liu Chang's expertise based on the knowledge you'd crammed the day before.

I just checked the relevant data. There will be a high tide this morning. Due to the influence of the moon's gravity, the tide may be one to two meters higher than usual. It is very unsafe to camp here.

Shao Qing frowned slightly after hearing this. She had been as tactful as possible in her words just now. Not only did she not directly point out Liu Chang's negligence, she also gave him a way out.

As long as you are not overly conceited or are a bit open-minded, most people will stick to what they said, show their gentlemanly demeanor, and change the place where they camp out of consideration for the flying guests.

In this way, regardless of whether the tide will flood the original campsite, Liu Chang will be the one who benefits.

If the tide had not flooded this place, Liu Chang would have appeared more professional in the eyes of the audience, and the blame for wasting everyone's time would only be put on himself by the audience.

If the tide really flooded this place, Liu Chang only needed to frankly admit his negligence and praise himself a few more times. He could still gain a lot of popularity and avoid a major mistake.

Liu Chang had already given away such a good opportunity, so why did he choose the option that was most disadvantageous to him?

As for Xu Yin, the entertainment industry is a place where the powerful tend to bully the weak, so Shao Qing didn't really care that he was deliberately pulling him down.

Judging by the current terrain, we only need to walk another five minutes until we reach a relatively flat hill with an open space suitable for camping.

Although we won't be flooded by the sea here, we definitely won't be able to sleep well at night. Jing Ke offered information and advice.

"I accept Teacher Xu's selfless kindness, but I'm still a little scared. I'm a very timid person." Shao Qing said, with a little less smile on his face.

"Then please feel free to do as you please, Mr. Shao. But it's best not to be too far away from us. That way, if something unexpected happens, we can come and help." Liu Chang said, his tone obviously much more distant.

It's not that Liu Chang looks down on Shao Qing, but this is the character he has set for himself. As a professional, his attitude must be firm, and he must never take back what he has said.

He had just said that this was a good place to camp, so he must spend the night here.

Shao Qing nodded in agreement and turned to look at Yu Hongjun and Li Liming. "Teacher Yu, Teacher Li, I plan to walk a little further ahead and choose a campsite at a relatively higher altitude. Do you two want to come with me and rest here for a while until I come back from exploring the route?"

"There is relatively sufficient daylight hours now. It only takes half an hour to set up a tent. Let's continue walking forward." Yu Hongjun responded with a smile. She is nearly fifty years old but looks no different from someone in her early thirties.

Yu Hongjun stood next to the 35-year-old Li Liming, but she looked younger despite being older.

"Then I'll join you, Teacher Shao, and just treat it as exercise." Li Liming is a relatively Buddhist guest who doesn't care much about the camera. For so many episodes, he has basically been following behind Yu Hongjun.

The director team was naturally happy to see the six guests split into two groups.

There is heat only when there is conflict. As soon as the disagreement emerged, the number of people in the live broadcast room and the number of barrages also increased a lot.

-

Jing Ke gave very detailed instructions, almost turning them into walking navigation, reporting the distance to the destination to Shao Qing in real time every minute.

So far, Shao Qing has not completely trusted Jing Ke. She admitted that she was gambling, betting that Jing Ke would not deliberately cheat her without signing a contract with her to achieve her goal.

After all, when scammers are trying to defraud people of their money, they will invest a small amount of money at the beginning to make it easier for the victims to believe in them.

By analogy, let alone anything else, within these three hours, Jing Ke, who is not sure whether she is a human or a ghost, will definitely do her best to help herself, make herself believe in her, and finally be willing to sign a contract with her.

With the weight on, they could only cover a few hundred meters in five minutes. However, due to the island's terrain, a few hundred meters was enough for them to disappear from the sight of the other three.

[We have reached the gentle slope, and the right campsite is right here.]

The livestream's camera switches frequently. Currently, they're following you, with your profile entering the scene. Fans are praising how beautiful you look when you sweat, while the "troll army" is accusing you of being inconsiderate and artificially creating divisions within a strong team. They're also saying you're wasting a lot of effort on Yu Hongjun and Li Liming.

After hearing what Jing Ke said, Shao Qing slowed down his pace, turned around and discussed with Yu Hongjun and Li Liming.

Shao Qing: "Teachers, why don't we climb up the gentle slope and take a look? This gentle slope looks about seven or eight meters high. If there is a suitable flat ground on it, we can set up camp directly."

Yu Hongjun and Li Liming naturally had no objections. They chose to trust Shao Qing the first time, and naturally they would trust her choice the second time.

After walking up for seven or eight minutes, an open space of about 100 square meters appeared in the sight of the three people.

If six tents are placed in an open space of this size, the distance between the tents will be relatively small, and it will be particularly inconvenient for the photographer to place the equipment.

But with only three of us and three accompanying photographers, this open space became a very suitable place.

"I'll camp here." Li Liming very consciously chose a place near the woods, leaving a safer spot for the two female guests.

"Teacher Yu, do you prefer the left or the right?" Shao Qing was very sensible and let his senior choose first.

"I'll just stay here. I sleep pretty well. It doesn't matter if your tent is close to mine." Yu Hongjun said with a smile, and his attitude towards Shao Qing was pretty good.

"Okay, then let's get closer to Teacher Yu," Shao Qing said with a smile. Compared to the polite fake smile she had shown when facing Xu Yin, the smile on her face now was more sincere and obvious.

Even Yu Hongjun, an old veteran who was used to seeing beauties in the circle, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Xiao Shao, after seeing you, I finally understand why some emperors would choose beauty over kingdoms." Yu Hongjun couldn't help but sigh.

"Teacher Yu, you're joking. Although I debuted later than you, I also heard that when you held a concert, there were more than 100,000 people staying outside to watch your concert through binoculars."

"If there really is a stunning beauty, Teacher Yu, you must be number one," Shao Qing said, his eyes smiling and sincere. "Teacher Yu was my idol when I was a child. I dreamed of meeting you."

What Shao Qing said was not a lie. When Yu Hongjun became extremely popular and dominated all major channels, she watched every episode every night.

After happily watching two episodes of a TV series, he would go wash up and go to bed with his mother.

"So, you are still my little fan?" Yu Hongjun said with a smile, not taking Shao Qing's words too seriously.

There's nothing she can do about it. She's tired of hearing almost the same things. Anyone younger than her will generally claim to be her fan.

"Yes, I fell in love with you when you starred in 'The World's Number One Swordsman'. Teacher Yu, didn't you play a female knight who wields a sword in her left hand? During that time, I even practiced writing with my left hand."

Shao Qing's dark pupils were filled with tiny glints of light under the sunlight, and her smile from the heart made her words sound particularly sincere.

Yu Hongjun couldn't help but be moved after hearing this. She felt as if she was brought back to twenty years ago by Shao Qing's words, and she felt many sighs and lamentations in her heart.

"'The World's Number One Swordsman', in order to film that drama well, I even tried eating and writing with my left hand while on set." Yu Hongjun said with a smile, her tone less polite than before. "Little fan, what other dramas of mine have you seen?"

[A quick aside, the haters and online trolls are all speculating that you're deliberately clinging to Yu Hongjun's influence to gain more screen time, and they're certain you'll be exposed. They keep talking about Yu Hongjun's two most popular dramas.]

"I've watched many of Mr. Yu's films and TV series, including the Republic of China-era dramas "Desperate Circumstances" and "The Eve Before Dawn," the modern dramas "North Drifter" and "The Girl Across the Street," and the large-scale historical drama "Kangxi, Yongzheng, and Qianlong..."

Shao Qing listed a series of TV series and movie names in one breath, and clearly pointed out the roles played by Yu Hongjun in them and the more eye-catching parts of the drama.

Shao Qing originally only wanted to mention two or three of them as examples, but after hearing what Jing Ke relayed about the black fans' remarks, he couldn't help but blurt out everything he remembered in one breath.

Yu Hongjun originally thought that Shao Qing had just cram school on information related to herself, and that it would be very good if she could name two or three TV series. Unexpectedly, Shao Qing mentioned almost all the roles she had played.

Of the highlights Shao Qing mentioned, some of them were unclear to her as the actress herself. She didn't expect Shao Qing to describe them so accurately, and it even brought back memories for her.

"I've actually seen your movies. The one you won an award for was great. Your acting wasn't overshadowed by your outstanding looks. The final effect presented to the audience was also very good. What they remembered was not you, Shao Qing, but the character you played, which is great."

After realizing that Shao Qing really liked her and had been a fan of her for many years, Yu Hongjun immediately developed a filter for her, and some of the words that had been hidden in her heart were also expressed directly in front of the live camera.

Just like that, after chatting for less than twenty minutes, the relationship between Shao Qing and Yu Hongjun began to progress rapidly.

Yu Hongjun no longer allowed Shao Qing to call her Teacher Yu, and directly asked her to call her Sister Hong, a name that only acquaintances would call her.

Li Liming sensibly did not intervene in the conversation, but instead honestly set up the tent. He waited until the two had finished talking before stepping forward to ask if he needed help.

Yu Hongjun is a permanent guest, so small things like setting up a tent will naturally not be a problem.

Although it was Shao Qing's first time setting up a tent by herself, she was well prepared and remembered every step clearly.

Even if she occasionally makes mistakes, Jing Ke, who is like a cat in her consciousness, will remind her immediately to prevent her from making mistakes.

[It's better to drive the nail a little deeper, just use an engineer's shovel to hammer it in.]

[You can pull it tighter. The tent is of good quality, so you don't have to worry about tearing the tarpaulin by pulling it too hard.]

[Yes, that's the order. You didn't do it wrong.]

-

At 4:20, Shao Qing and the other two had set up their tents. Noticing that the sun was not about to set, they turned their attention to the coconut trees they had passed by and tried to get a few coconuts.

The location where the coconut trees grew was very close to the camping site chosen by Liu Chang, so twenty minutes later, the six guests were in the same frame again under the coconut trees.

"Have the three teachers found a suitable place?" Liu Chang noticed the three people who were only holding some of the tools, and the smile on their faces was not as sincere as before.

"Yes, we were lucky. We found a suitable place after searching for more than ten minutes." Shao Qing replied politely.

Liu Chang nodded slowly. "Do you want me to assess the safety of the camp for the three teachers? Although there are no ferocious beasts on the island, there are still many insects and small animals."

"If the camp is located near a small animal habitat, we might be disturbed while sleeping at night," said Liu Chang, who was unwilling to miss any opportunity to show off his knowledge.

"We appreciate Teacher Liu's kindness, but our camp is more than ten minutes away from here. It would take quite a while to go back and forth." Shao Qing had a smile on his face that was impeccable from any angle.

Shao Qing: "Why don't we wait until tomorrow morning and have Teacher Liu help us evaluate and check it out, so as not to waste the limited daylight left today."

After hitting a nail that was neither soft nor hard, Liu Chang couldn't help but touch his nose and looked up at the coconut tree that was more than ten meters above the ground.

"Can you lend me the rope in the supply bag?" After observing for more than ten seconds, Liu Chang made a bold decision. He wanted to use the rope to make a simple bare-handed device and then climb up.

Xu Yin and Zheng Xingxing contributed the ropes in their supply bags without hesitation. Liu Chang twisted three ropes into one, and then tied himself and the coconut tree with the rope.

This kind of bare-handed tree climbing equipment is very simple. It uses the friction of the hemp rope as an upward force. This behavior often appears in wilderness survival documentaries and some Aboriginal documentaries.

But a height of more than ten meters is no joke. If you fall down when you reach the highest point without any safety measures, you will either die or be injured.

After seeing Liu Chang make such a bold decision, the director was a little unsure whether to continue filming or stop him.

After seeing the number of people online in the live broadcast room increasing because of Liu Chang's behavior, the director chose to take the risk and not stop the operation. He only asked the photographer to tell Liu Chang the risks of climbing a tree with bare hands under the camera.

This is a variety show famous for its authenticity. Whether it is stopping the live broadcast or adding safety measures to Liu Chang, it is different from the original starting point of the show.

Moreover, when signing the contract, whether they are flying guests or permanent guests, they all signed additional treaties with the program team.

If a guest insists on doing something despite being informed of the risks by the program staff, all consequences will be borne by the guest himself.
