Beside the sunny artificial beach, Jiang Wenxue leaned leisurely on a lounge chair, with two followers beside her fanning her diligently.

When everything was harmonious, Jiang Wenxue suddenly kicked the attendant on his left: "You can't even fan properly, are you doing this on purpose?"

The henchman immediately knelt on the ground, his legs trembling, not daring to admit nor refute, cold sweat soon dripping down his forehead: "I..."

Just at this moment, the assistant came over with a troubled look on his face.

"Miss, Blue Sky Culture has responded."

Jiang Wenxue frowned slightly and kicked the erring follower again: "Get lost, you're lucky."

The follower thanked him and felt relieved in his heart, and soon left the place.

Only Jiang Wenxue and his assistant were left at the scene.

Jiang Wenxue withdrew his attention.

She took a sip of the freshly squeezed drink that had been shipped in and asked leisurely, "What did Xu Yang say?"

The assistant hesitated for two seconds: "He agreed to all your conditions, but..."

Jiang Wenxue: "But what? Did Xu Yang put pressure on the Xu family?"

Assistant: “That’s not the case…”

Jiang Wenxue smiled. "Just tell me, what kind of trouble can he possibly stir up on his own?"

Unfortunately, the assistant knew more and was not as optimistic as she was.

Thinking about the follower who had just left in disgrace, Jiang Wenxue seemed to be in a bad mood today. She was afraid that she would get into trouble if she told the bad news.

The assistant opened his mouth for a long moment, but nothing came out. He thought for a moment, then handed the laptop to Jiang Wenxue. "This is a complicated matter. Why don't you take a look at the latest situation yourself?"

Jiang Wenxue took a quick look at the major Star Network media and soon discovered that he had been tricked.

Among the contestants of the fourth season of "Back to Earth", Jiang Ran was indeed replaced by her, but Jiang Ran did not completely withdraw!

I just saw the official announcement from Blue Sky Culture: The fourth season of "Back to Earth" is in preparation, and this season's program will be broadcast live in full, so please stay tuned!

Jiang Ran's latest Weibo post reads: "I feel a bit embarrassed after winning so many championships. I should give newcomers a chance." "I will not be participating in the fourth season of 'Back to Earth.' I will travel to Earth with everyone as a partner and will also host a separate livestream. Interested parties can come and check it out."

It has been a while since the two blog posts were published, and it is definitely too late to delete them now.

Netizens are also excited about this news. Many people are looking forward to Jiang Ran’s special live broadcast room. Some people also think that Jiang Ran can become the big boss of the fourth season of the show and artificially create some "small difficulties" for other contestants.

As soon as Jiang Wenxue saw this, Jiang Ran’s latest reply appeared.

Jiang Ran: The suggestion is very interesting, I will consider it.

Jiang Wenxue: “…”

What were you thinking about? Were you thinking about deliberately harming her during the competition?

Jiang Wenxue had no doubt at all. If Jiang Ran knew that she was the one behind this, she would definitely not let her go during the official competition.

After a long while, Jiang Wenxue gritted her teeth and asked, "Is this Xu Yang's answer to me? Is he kidding me?"

The assistant obviously hadn't expected things to develop like this, and panickedly pushed the blame away: "Xu Yang and Jiang Ran must have discussed this beforehand. You absolutely cannot let them off like this! How about I contact Xu Yang now and ask them to give an explanation?"

Jiang Wenxue thought for a moment and sneered.

"Go contact them and tell them I have one last request."

Jiang Ran was the one who planned this Star Network storm. With just one reply, he almost made Jiang Wenxue so angry that she jumped to her feet, but he himself was lying on the sofa eating ice cream.

As soon as the ice cream box was empty, Xu Yang called.

The movements are quite fast, Jiang Ran sighed in his heart.

But after answering the call, Jiang Ran first praised: "Not bad, you have made progress. Now I know that if there is anything, the first step is to notify me."

Xu Yang gave a bitter laugh, almost wanting to swear on the spot: "I promise I won't do this again in the future. Can you please not mention this again?"

Seeing that he was quite sincere, Jiang Ran let it go and turned to ask about Jiang Wenxue's response.

Xu Yang: "They acquiesced to what we announced, but..."

"What request did you make?" Jiang Ran asked.

Xu Yang was not surprised that Jiang Ran could guess that there were conditions, but the content of the conditions made him hesitate and he did not say it out loud at the first time.

It wasn't until Jiang Ran asked again that he took a breath and said, "They requested that the fourth season of the competition be held on the Pamir Plateau."

"Pamir Plateau..." Jiang Ran murmured, "What a familiar name."

"Yes, we once considered holding the competition here," Xu Yang said, "but you disagreed at the time, so we didn't go ahead with it. I don't know where Jiang Wenxue heard the news..."

"She probably thinks you're afraid of this place."

Are you scared?

Maybe there is.

Jiang Ran was also a little confused for a moment.

She had thought of many ways for Jiang Wenxue to fight back, but she had never expected it to be like this.

Thousands of years have passed, and the Pamirs are probably completely different from what they were before, and the past has been buried in time.

She had always believed this, but she never expected that the shadow in her heart would be exposed by others in this way, lying naked in front of them.

But so what?

It’s been two lifetimes, and it’s time to let go of the past.

"She guessed wrong."

Jiang Ran said: "I'm not afraid of this place,"

Xu Yang obviously didn't believe her words: "It's okay, if you don't want to, I can refuse. The decision of choosing the competition venue is ours."

"I'm not lying to you," Jiang Ran sighed softly. "Instead of continuing to argue with Jiang Wenxue somewhere else, it's better to take a step back here. I'm really not afraid of the Pamir Plateau. It's just that some bad things happened there before, but they're all in the past."

"Bad things?" Xu Yang grasped the key point, "So you really don't like it there."

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and added, "Who hasn't encountered something bad in their life? Actually, even if Jiang Wenxue hadn't asked me to, I would have gone back sooner or later. I can't be trapped in memories forever. It's just that I always used various excuses to put it off."

Having said that, Jiang Ran laughed.

"I'm afraid Jiang Wenxue didn't expect that she clearly wanted to harm me, but in the end she helped me make a decision."

Having said that, Xu Yang stopped trying to persuade her.

The two discussed some details and then hung up the call.

A few days later, the finale of Back to Earth Season 3 was finally released.

Both the previous gossip and Jiang Ran's latest Weibo post pointed to this result, which didn't shock netizens too much. However, netizens did debate for a while about whether Jiang Ran's victory was due to luck.

Unfortunately, netizens didn’t debate for long before Blue Sky Culture released an easter egg, which was a conversation between Bian Zhao, Jiang Ran and Fu Bo after the results of the competition were announced.

"If there hadn't been a tsunami, I would have been number one."

"Even if there was no tsunami, I would still win in the end."

“…”

After watching the Easter eggs, netizens all sighed the same way as Fu Bo: "You guys who play tactics have such dirty hearts!"

Taking advantage of the popularity of the third season's finale and Easter eggs, Blue Sky Culture struck while the iron was hot and posted the competition location and schedule of the fourth season of "Back to Earth" on its official blog.

In this competition, the contestants will start from the once dreaded Pamir Highway, clear the land for nearly 20 kilometers and then reach the Pamir Plateau, a forbidden zone for life, and finally reach the summit of Mount K2 after a journey of death.

The final ranking of the competition will be determined by the order in which the contestants reach the summit of Mount Qomolangma.

As soon as the news came out, StarNet was in an uproar.

You know, in the past few competitions, the contestants were fleeing from danger to survive, but now they are required to take the initiative to go to the most dangerous places, and the difficulty has increased by more than a little.

[Netizen 1]: Blue Sky Culture is really fun, I'm looking forward to it!

[Netizen 2]: Let's make it more difficult! To be honest, I just want to see the contestants gnawing on grass roots!

[Netizen 3]: I even imagined a group of runners struggling to get to the finish line, and Jiang Ran eating and drinking at the finish line, looking down on their speed (covering his face)

[Netizen 4]: Ah, it turns out that Jiang Ran's withdrawal from the competition this time was premeditated. Otherwise, what's the point of increasing the difficulty of the competition? I'm afraid the competition will be over before others even start climbing. Hahahaha

…

Soon, as the official blog announced the link to the live broadcast room of this competition, a large number of netizens immediately flocked to the live broadcast room, which was currently empty with only a black background. The number of online users soared to nine digits and is rapidly approaching ten digits.

Before the news was announced, the contestants had already boarded the starship to Earth.

The next day, the fourth season of "Back to Earth" officially began.
