Chapter 36 World 2 [6]

Xu Yin's brows furrowed more and more. He couldn't think of any way to excuse his behavior during the day. He could only hope that the post-production editing would not give too many shots to this incident, and would not involve Shao Qing in it.

But it was obvious that Xu Yin's inner prayers had no effect.

After making sure that no one was hurt by the waves, the director finally put his mind at ease and asked the photographer to carry the camera and shoot as much footage as possible for backup.

"Director, what's the situation over there with Teacher Yu? Will the place they chose be hit by the waves?" Zheng Xingxing, who had recovered from his shock, simply scratched his hair twice and began to fight for shots for himself.

"Teacher Yu and his team's campsite is on gently sloping flat ground. Even if the waves were several meters higher, they wouldn't reach that area," the director said. "They're very safe."

"That's good. It would have been terrible if the other teachers had also been caught in the tide." Zheng Xingxing patted his chest, looking relieved. "Thank you, director and the staff, for waking me up just in time. I'll treat everyone to dinner after the recording is over."

"Actually, it wasn't me who first noticed something was wrong, it was Teacher Shao." The staff member on duty touched the back of his head and admitted his mistake guiltily, "I'm sorry, it was my fault for not noticing the situation at the beach in time."

"I'll deduct one month's bonus from you. If you make the same mistake again, go home and have a rest." The director warned with a stern face.

It is inevitable to slack off at work, but slacking off also depends on the occasion and time. If Shao Qing hadn't reminded him in time today, not only the staff on duty would be in trouble, but the entire program team would have been in big trouble.

"Okay, director, don't worry, this won't happen again!" the staff member assured, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

My monthly bonus is not that much to begin with, so this is just a small punishment but a big warning.

"So it was Teacher Shao who saved us." Zheng Xingxing patted his head. "Then I must treat Teacher Shao to a nice meal after the filming is over!"

Liu Chang smiled bitterly. "I was careless earlier. Teacher Shao's analysis makes sense. Twenty meters may seem far, but the height difference is actually very small. The tide only needs to be a little stronger than usual, and our chosen location will be unsafe."

Liu Chang let out a light breath, seemingly making a self-deprecating comment, but still maintaining his image. "It seems I still have a lot of shortcomings and need to learn more. I forgot to consider that the moon's gravity changes with the lunar phases, so I didn't predict how strong the tide would be this time."

"This was also unexpected. Teacher Liu, you're still very capable." Zheng Xingxing gave Liu Chang a way out in time. "If you hadn't picked coconuts for us during the day, I wouldn't have had enough water to drink."

"I am responsible for this matter. I will go and apologize to Teacher Shao later." Liu Chang said.

Liu Chang, who was frightened awake in the middle of the night, was thinking particularly clearly. In just a few words, he created an image of himself as a person who admits his mistakes and is willing to learn from them, which was considered to be a barely making up for his previous mistakes.

In comparison, Xu Yin, one of the three, was very silent from the beginning. His personality meant that he couldn't rely on cheerfulness and innocence to cover up his mistakes like Zheng Xingxing did.

Xu Yin couldn't admit in front of the camera like Liu Chang did, and he couldn't bow his head and apologize to Shao Qing, the person whose luck he had stolen.

"Director, can you lend us a place to stay tonight? Or give us three more tents so we can go meet up with Teacher Yu and the others." Xu Yin said, changing the subject away from the waves.

"We do have spare tents, but I'm afraid Teacher Yu can't build so many..." Before the director finished his words, he saw Shao Qing and the other two walking towards him with flashlights.

"Teacher Yu, Teacher Shao, Teacher Li." Zheng Xingxing, who had good eyesight, took the initiative to greet them and was the first to say hello with an extremely warm tone.

"Teacher Shao, thank you for saving my life. If you hadn't reminded me in time, I would have ended up like the tent below." Zheng Xingxing sighed, looking at Shao Qing with obvious admiration and gratitude in his eyes.

"I just woke up in the middle of the night and noticed the waves were a bit loud, so I alerted the staff," Shao Qing said politely. "It was mainly because the production crew reacted quickly and activated the emergency plan in less than three minutes, which prevented the accident from happening."

"Teacher Shao, I'm very sorry. I apologize for my behavior during the day. I was too confident at the time and thought I was very experienced, so I didn't pay much attention to your reminder." Liu Chang walked forward and bowed 90 degrees.

Shao Qing continued to be polite, waving his hand and moving aside. "No, no, there's no need to do this, Mr. Liu. I just stumbled upon something by accident and happened to see something that I could use in advance."

"If Teacher Liu really thinks it's my contribution, then use the coconuts you used before as a reward for me." Shao Qing gave the two people a way out and performed the materials needed for the program group's later editing.

"Okay, but two coconuts are not enough. Wait until dawn and I'll pick eight more for you, Teacher Shao!" Liu Chang said directly in a very heroic tone.

After seeing that the two people traveling with him had expressed their opinions, Xu Yin could no longer continue to pretend to be dead, so he could only walk out and say a few dry words.

Xu Yin: "Thanks to Teacher Shao for reminding me this time. It's a pity that I don't have much supplies on me to express my gratitude. If Teacher Shao needs me in any way after daybreak, please let me know."

"Okay, then I won't be polite then." Shao Qing responded with a smile, acting very magnanimous in front of the camera.

After they finished acting with each other, the previous problem was raised again, which was how to arrange accommodation for Xu Yin and the other two.

The production team used authenticity as a selling point, so it would be unfair to provide temporary housing for the three people. After all, the staff lived in temporary tin houses, not tents.

But if they asked the three of them to choose a new place to set up the tent, they wouldn't know what time it was by the time they were done, which would seem like the program crew was too unkind.

"We don't have much open space left over there, but it should still be possible to set up another tent." Li Liming took the initiative to speak after understanding the situation.

"How about we just squeeze in today? One of the teachers can sleep with me, and the other two can stay in one tent?" Li Liming made a very feasible suggestion. "If we all work together, setting up a tent will only take a few minutes."

"Will this affect the rest of the other two teachers?" Liu Chang said a little embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I go to bed early, so these ten minutes won't make a difference." Yu Hongjun said with a smile.

Shao Qing: "My situation is similar to Teacher Yu's, and my sleep quality is quite good. It's difficult to wake up after falling asleep."

【Do you want to know who I was bound to before? 】

After Shao Qing changed into her pajamas and lay down again, Jing Ke's voice appeared in her consciousness.

"It's Xu Yin, right?" Shao Qing closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

It's not even three o'clock yet. If I get up at seven o'clock, I can still sleep for four more hours.

[You guessed it? I didn't tell you before, did I?] Jing Ke's voice was a little surprised.

"You would take the initiative to ask this question at this time, which means that the person you worked with before is among the other five guests." Shao Qing explained with his eyes closed.

"You should know better than me when Xu Yin became famous. Such obvious clues have been presented to me. If I still don't know the answer, there is no need for me to stay in this circle."

"You're right. Is there anything I can do for you? I can intercept the contents of the camera and let some clips leak out accidentally."

"Can you do this?" Shao Qing's voice had a little more ups and downs. "It sounds like you're really impressive."

Is this a skill that Goblins can also possess? Is this considered keeping up with the times?

[I can hack into nearby networks and copy and save anything that has been transmitted over the network.]

"It's impressive, but I don't need it right now. Releasing this video won't have any impact on Xu Yin. He didn't commit any major offense; he just said a few seemingly matter-of-fact things."

Shao Qing's tone calmed down again. "Could you please play some more rain sounds? I can't sleep again."

[Okay.] Jing Ke played the sound as requested and stopped talking so that Shao Qing could have a good rest.

-

At seven o'clock in the morning, Shao Qing opened his eyes before Jing Ke provided the wake-up service.

After turning off the dim night light on the bedside table, Shao Qing changed his clothes, picked up his toiletries and walked out of the tent.

"Good morning, it's 7:05 AM. You're the second guest to get up. The first one to get up was Li Liming, who got up at 6:30 AM and is currently jogging near the coast." Jing Ke provided Shao Qing with the information immediately.

"Good morning, thank you." Shao Qing thanked politely and went to the designated place to start washing up.

After Shao washed his face and brushed his teeth, the other four people came out of the tent one after another and greeted each other.

With the coconuts Liu Chang picked yesterday and some leftover noodles from last night, a simple breakfast was ready.

The program team left some free time for the guests to rest and announced today's tasks around 8:30.

"We will provide fishing equipment at designated locations. Guests can take home one of every five fish they catch as a reward for completing the task. This task is not mandatory and guests can participate voluntarily."

"In addition, we have set up no less than fifty small supply points on the island. Each point has different supplies. Guests can freely search for them on the island as if they were trying their luck, or they can choose to exchange items designated by the program team for clues."

The director held up a megaphone and announced, "Today's program needs fish, wood larger than eight centimeters wide and two meters tall, and marine debris weighing more than ten kilograms. These can be exchanged for clues to the supply points. It's first come, first served, and no clues are repeated."

There is no need to worry about lack of materials to shoot during the seven-day survival on a deserted island, so the tasks arranged by the program team are non-compulsory, and the main goal is to have a willing participant.

It’s okay for the guests not to take the bait of the program team, but in this case their food and quality of life will definitely decline a lot, and generally the guests will follow the routine of the program team.
