The Black Cat System and the police arrived late. The leader sent someone to take Yu Ling and Lu Zelong to the nearest hospital first. The Black Cat System wanted to go with its host, but Yu Ling complained:

"You should follow them and chase after the kidnappers first, get rid of all your bad luck, and then come find me."

Sigh, if it weren't for the fact that only he and the Black Cat System produced by the Main God could receive and pass on bad luck, he would have hired a bunch of people to take on the task of receiving and sending bad luck.

[Host, they've come all this way to save you!!!]

Did you save me?

No, but...

"Alright, enough nonsense, hurry up! If the police car gets away, you'll have to chase the kidnappers with your own feet." Yu Ling used the system and then discarded it again, truly ruthless.

There's nothing he can do; he's just too unlucky in this world to be happy.

[Waaah, alright then, host.] The Black Cat System hadn't even seen its host before it hopped into a police car and sped away again.

Next up is the showdown between the unlucky system and the unlucky kidnappers, which is sure to be very exciting.

Yu Ling didn't want to know the result.

His interaction with the Black Cat System was still done remotely, so Lu Zelong naturally didn't notice that the cat he had lost was lingering nearby, and was still angry about Yu Ling's scolding.

"You really think that way about me?"

On the way to the hospital in the police car, Lu Zelong, with his face completely disfigured, awkwardly said to Yu Ling.

"What?" Yu Ling didn't understand at this point, after all, she was just a kind-hearted person who took away the bad luck from Lu Ze's head.

"Exactly, what you said to those kidnappers, calling me a good-for-nothing, a social scum, a twisted parasite, a pile of stinking rotten fat, a low-level creature who can only...only be vulgar..."

"Did I really say something that outrageous?" No wonder bad luck keeps piling up on my head.

"You know you went too far?!" Lu Zelong was furious. "I was already in a terrible situation back then. You not only didn't help me, but you also went along with Yan's wishes. You should take some calcium supplements!"

Is this saying I'm too soft-boned? That's quite a metaphor.

Although Yu Ling felt sorry for the person, she couldn't help but move aside, her words as sharp as swords:

"Actually, you're not that bad, at least you have some self-awareness. Also, you look really ugly right now, can you turn your face away from me, it's an eyesore."

...For the sake of his health, Lu Zelong chose not to talk to Yu Ling anymore, otherwise he might faint.

After watching Lu Zelong and the Lu family bodyguards reunite, Yu Ling, who had completed the hospital admission procedures and examinations and was found to be unharmed, took a taxi back to Su Zhe's house after giving her statement, once again putting the Black Cat System out of her mind.

Due to the information blockade and the fact that the case was resolved too quickly, Su Zhe was unaware of what had happened.

All he knew was that Yu Ling left in broad daylight but didn't return until almost dawn. She wouldn't tell him what she had done, and when she got back to her room, she didn't eat but just went to sleep. There were rope marks on her wrists and ankles...

hateful!

What has that guy Lu Zelong done to his own artists?!

Su Zhe's doubts were destined to remain unanswered.

Delayed by the kidnapping incident, Yu Ling now only has one day to prepare to participate in the variety show "Surprise! Let Me Make Your Heart Beat!" the next day.

Since this episode's theme is wilderness survival, in order to strive for authenticity, all celebrities, except for the special guest who serves as a control group, are not allowed to bring mobile phones, clothes, food, or other equipment.

Su Zhe knew what the name "Han Hao" represented: it meant a huge influx of haters after the broadcast.

Haters also generate traffic, and the production team needs to cater to the market, so Yu Ling has to be the character who suffers the most in the show.

Su Zhe went to great lengths to compile all the correct ways to deal with unfair treatment, and before setting off, he repeatedly reminded her that even if Yu Ling refused to cooperate with the script, she should prioritize her own safety.

"OK! Don't worry!"

Yu Ling readily agreed, but before parting, she gave Su Zhe a meaningful look.

"After this show ends, I'm going to take a long vacation. You can use this time to find yourself a new job."

If he wins this real-life confrontation with the female lead, he can reward himself by retiring from the entertainment industry and being happy. If he loses, he'll probably have to struggle against bad luck to the end and won't have time to maintain his public image.

Su Zhe seems to be very responsible, so let's not hold him back.

Yu Ling meant well, but how could Su Zhe have guessed it was because of the female lead? Hearing these words, they took on a completely different meaning.

How come everything was fine before, and then after going out for a trip, they come back saying they want to retire from the entertainment industry? Back when their own artists were being criticized the most by the entire internet, they always chose to engage in a frenzied online flame war, never afraid of anything.

It must have been Lu Zelong who did it that day!

Su Zhe made up his mind to go back and investigate thoroughly what kind of person Lu Zelong was.

However, speaking of Lu Zelong...

He is currently recovering quietly in the hospital.

With his bad luck gone and his virility restored, Lu Zelong was marveling at how healthy he was when he was summoned by the police, who said he was suspected of malicious revenge and needed to be investigated.

It was only after asking that they learned that when the police were chasing the kidnappers that night, they were slowed down by all sorts of people who had won first-class and second-class merit awards on the road, so they had not been able to make an arrest.

However, the kidnappers met a tragic end, practically begging the police to take them away.

Upon further questioning, the police learned what the kidnappers had encountered on their escape route.

On the way to the car, one of the kidnappers had his leg broken by an advertising billboard blown down by the wind. After the car started moving, a large truck carrying steel dropped an iron bar that ran across the windshield. All the kidnappers were injured, some slightly and some seriously, and chose to abandon the car and escape.

While walking in a crowded area, a gas cylinder at a food stall suddenly exploded. Out of the hundred or so people present, they were the only ones whose bodies were pierced by flying shards.

In the end, in order to save their lives, they were all planning to surrender, but who would have thought... In short, it was a very tragic situation.

Because the events were too coincidental, no one in the police department believed it, so they investigated along the lines of Lu Zelong and his brother, and naturally, the matter was dropped.

In the end, these unfortunate souls were even used as propaganda examples of "divine retribution for doing too many bad things." Yu Ling and the Black Cat System, who chased after the kidnappers while praising them all the way, remained unsung heroes.

Let's get back to the main topic.

Yu Ling and several other guests met up in the real wilderness arranged by the production team, but the female lead, Su Susu, was still nowhere to be seen.

Indeed, Yu Ling's reputation has plummeted, while Su Susu is a top-tier actress; they are not starting from the same point.

"Welcome everyone to our wilderness survival journey! I'm your guide, and you can also think of me as the NPC who gives out quests~"

The sweet-looking female host sat inside the RV, explaining the program rules to the celebrity guests who were standing in a row.
