Jiang Ran may not be a good teacher, but she is definitely strict enough.

"Fu Bo."

Jiang Ran said in a bad tone: "You have hesitated for two minutes. Do you know what two minutes means when surviving in the wild?"

Fu Bo looked at the thorny bushes before him and swallowed. "It's only been two minutes. You...you should let me prepare a little more."

Jiang Ran did not agree to his request, but took out his laptop and made a call on the spot.

"Hello, is this Mr. Fu Song? I'm Jiang Ran. Yes, I have something to tell you about Fu Bo..."

Before she could finish her words, Fu Bo pounced on her, snatched away her laptop, and tried to hang up the call with a ferocious look on his face.

"It's just training, why are you suing the parents... Hey, you didn't call?"

Fu Bo was a little confused.

Was Jiang Ran teasing him just now?

"I'm not kidding," Jiang Ran could guess what he was thinking. "The first time was a warning. If it happens again, I'll really hit you."

She thought to herself, "I heard you have a lot of pocket money? Otherwise, I'll ask your brother..."

"No! It's fake! It doesn't exist!"

Fu Bo's face was filled with horror. "Stop messing with my pocket money! Please! The new Star Wars game is coming out next month. If you keep deducting my pocket money, I really won't be able to afford it!"

"Then you should now..."

"I won't hesitate! I'll do as you say right now!"

“…”

Fu Bo immediately returned to the place where he had just been and walked through it according to Jiang Ran's instructions.

I put all my worries aside and focused on following the instructions, and surprisingly, the results were quite good. Although I made a few small mistakes and got a few scratches, they were not serious at all.

After successfully passing through a thorn bush, Fu Bo jumped up happily, waving his hands and shouting, "Look! I'm here!"

Jiang Ran was still teaching sternly, not particularly enthusiastic. "First lesson is over, now let's start the second."

Fu Bo didn't care about her attitude. He was very excited about his recent success and was still eager to try again.

Halfway through his study, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and looked at the others in confusion.

Fu Bo: "Earth has always been uninhabited. It seems the Star Network has never been established here?"

Zeng Pei looked at him kindly: "Yes, I thought you wouldn't be able to find it today."

Fu Bo: “…”

So Jiang Ran’s threat was completely invalid and he was just trying to intimidate him?

Others are writing blank checks, why is Jiang Ran still making empty threats?

After figuring it all out, Fu Bo's fear quickly disappeared. However, facing Jiang Ran's second wilderness training, he became hesitant and hesitant again.

Jiang Ran said with a cold face: "You don't think I can do anything to you, do you?"

Xu Yang offered some advice: "In order to facilitate communication, the program's logistics team brought a mobile network signal transmitter. It would be very convenient to borrow it. If you need it, I can..."

"No need!" Fu Bo clenched his fists and interrupted them firmly, "I love wilderness survival! I'm the next star of 'Back to Earth'!"

The subsequent training went much more smoothly.

Less than an hour after noon, Jiang Ran taught everyone how to identify safe roads, how to clear obstacles on the road, how to make handy tools by themselves, etc.

However, although the training results were satisfactory, the process really made everyone complain.

Fu Bo wanted to give up at every moment: "Jiang Ran, why don't you just do it yourself."

Lianren Xia Yang also began to encourage: "I believe in you, you can definitely overtake the first place by yourself and let everyone see what it means to win three consecutive championships!"

Jiang Ran glanced at them and said slowly, "I'm not a contestant now. I'm not responsible for the competition. That's a different price."

Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang: "..."

Zeng Pei asked: "If you are not responsible for the competition, then what are you responsible for now?"

Jiang Ran said, "I will be responsible for cheering you on and recording the actual race results."

"Come on?" Fu Bo was confused.

"I helped you go from being a novice in the wild who would retreat at the slightest provocation to someone who can at least defend themselves and compete normally," Jiang Ran asked, "Isn't that encouragement?"

Fu Bo: “…”

"Record the actual game situation?" Ren Xiayang was puzzled.

"For example, how miserable you look now." Jiang Ran said as he adjusted the ball and took a close-up of his messy hair covered with dead branches and rotten leaves.

Ren Xiayang: “…”

Someone come and capture this devil!

[I am about to die of laughter in Jiang Ran’s live broadcast room]

[So, I contributed to the popularity of the live broadcast room and also cheered everyone up. I am worthy of being me.]

[Then I took a screenshot! I'm also helping everyone record the actual race situation!]

Because Jiang Ran's teaching is very interesting, the popularity of her live broadcast room continues to rise, and the number of online users has reached new highs.

Many spectators from other contestants were attracted over, including some who had run away from Jiang Wenxue because she had stopped to rest and felt bored.

Jiang Wenxue also noticed the change in the live broadcast room's popularity. She felt a little anxious for a moment and took the initiative to suggest, "I've almost rested enough. Why don't we continue on our journey?"

One of the bodyguards looked at her pale face and hinted, "I'm still a little tired. Why don't you rest for another ten minutes?"

The bodyguard is tall and strong, his face is not red and he is not out of breath. How could he be so tired that he can't walk?

Jiang Wenxue quickly realized what he meant and felt her heartbeat still pounding, so she also went down the stairs, but she was still getting angrier and angrier.

In fact, Jiang Wenxue chose to participate in the competition with the ultimate goal of gaining more popularity.

The competition within the Jiang family is very fierce. Even though she is a direct descendant of the main family, she cannot gain much advantage. She just has a higher starting point than others. However, if she wants to get enough resource allocation, she must demonstrate enough value.

Jiang Wenxue will be twenty years old at the end of this year, and will then face the distribution of family resources.

She had invested in some industries, and the operations were going very well. However, one of the entertainment companies that accounted for the majority of her investment invested heavily in a variety show this year, but when it was broadcast, it was completely defeated by "Back to Earth". In the end, the revenue was not only lower than expected, but it even suffered huge losses.

Even if you withdraw your investment now, you cannot recover the lost funds. The sale of stocks may even cause huge market fluctuations, which will make the loss outweigh the gain.

With investment sluggish, one can only make up for it from other places, and the method Jiang Wenxue thought of was popularity.

In the interstellar era, the star network is developing rapidly, and the exchange of popularity and capital is very rapid. Popularity means money.

Jiang Wenxue endured the discomfort in her heart and participated in the former competing program "Back to Earth" for popularity, but now...

She stared at the constantly changing real-time popularity meter of the live broadcast room, repeatedly confirming that her popularity was less than half of Jiang Ran's.

how so?

She is obviously the first one!

Jiang Ran didn't even officially participate in the competition!

"Wenxue, are you feeling unwell?"

The bodyguard said, "You don't look very good."

Jiang Wenxue finally came to his senses and realized that his inner emotions were reflected on his face, so he immediately restrained himself.

She smiled and said, "I have a little stomachache, but it won't affect me. The competition is the most important thing. Let's go after you have rested well."

The bodyguard complained in his heart that the boss was shirking responsibility too naturally, but he responded in a friendly tone: "That's good, rest for another five minutes and then leave."

Jiang Wenxue agreed and then turned off the screen that displayed the popularity of the live broadcast room.

She comforted herself in her heart: It doesn’t matter, the first place will be the one who laughs last.

After two hours of exclusive training, Jiang Ran finally nodded.

"You guys barely passed." She was still not very satisfied with everyone's performance.

Fu Bo sat down on the ground without caring whether it was dirty or not: "Huh - it's finally over."

Ren Xiayang also sat down next to him: "I'm starving. Who of you is responsible for bringing food? I'm a little confused."

In comparison, Zeng Pei cared more about her image. She leaned against a tree trunk to rest. Upon hearing this, she took out compressed biscuits and water from her backpack and distributed them to several teammates in proportion.

Jiang Ran didn't stop them, his eyes stayed on the timer on the computer.

Twenty minutes later.

Everyone, who were extremely hungry, wolfed down the food and sighed with satisfaction.

Fu Bo even changed from sitting to lying down, squinting his eyes and said, "I'm so sleepy. I'll take a nap first. Call me later."

Just as Ren Xiayang was about to lie down like him, Jiang Ran grabbed him and lifted him up.

"It's been twenty minutes," Jiang Ran kicked Fu Bo, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, "You should leave."

"No way? We just finished training."

"Because you spent so much time on training, you've already fallen far behind others. Haven't you noticed?"

"Well..."

Despite their complaints and groans, everyone knew they were lamenting their progress. Forget taking first place, even just trying to overtake the frontrunners was incredibly difficult.

Everyone quickly got up from the ground.

After all, he is Jiang Ran's disciple, so he can't bring shame to his master.

After starting the journey, everyone found that their abilities had improved significantly, and their travel speed was several times faster than before.

Although we fell behind a lot during the training, after the speed was improved, we soon started to overtake the teams lagging behind.

Fu Bo sighed, "If my brother stops giving me pocket money again, will I be able to buy games by teaching this skill?"

Ren Xiayang was speechless: "If you can get first place in this competition, maybe there will still be a chance."

"That makes sense," Jiang Ran muttered in front of him, "I can definitely charge for my exclusive training."

Fu Bo and Ren Xiayang: “…” Oh no!

In the evening, the sun sets.

Jiang Ran's team surpassed the main force and was already showing signs of challenging for first place.

Jiang Wenxue could see their relentless pursuit as soon as she turned around, and she felt nervous and uncomfortable.

She had been traveling for a long time with her bodyguard, and her head was covered in sweat, even her collar was soaked.

Seeing Jiang Ran getting closer and closer, Jiang Wenxue couldn't help but say, "Didn't Jiang Ran participate in the competition? Why is he still bringing others along?"

The bodyguard knew what kind of person his boss was, so he naturally went along with her wishes and said, "It seems like they've been teammates since the first game. They have a very good relationship. Jiang Ran can't help them even if he wants to."

Jiang Wenxue: "Of course it's Jiang Ran's choice. I can't help it since they're close. I just saw that they were moving much faster than before, overtaking several groups. I just felt a little sorry for them."

However, this time, Jiang Wenxue's trick failed before it even began.

The few viewers in the live broadcast room had long felt that her speech was a bit uncomfortable, but they had never figured out what was wrong. Jiang Wenxue's words now just confirmed their previous guess.

【Are you trying to say it's unfair? 】

If you think it's unfair, just say so. There's nothing shameful about being afraid of being overtaken. Why do you have to bring other groups along?

You can't talk without leading other groups, right? You always say you're good at being someone else. The tea is too strong.

Take care of yourself

"It's only been a short journey, and your face is already red like this. Have you ever considered that others who team up with you are also leading you, which is unfair to the other groups?"

[Although I know from my perspective that Jiang Ran did provide training to Fu Bo and the others, Jiang Wenxue shouldn't be aware of it...]

[Fuck, I didn't even notice it until someone mentioned it. It's really scary when you think about it!]

[That's right! Contestants can't read the comments! Then why did Jiang Wenxue say Jiang Ran was helping others? Was she imagining it?]

【……】

Jiang Wenxue could not see the specific content of the barrage, but could only see the real-time popularity of the live broadcast room.

At this moment, the live broadcast room became increasingly popular due to everyone's heated discussion about what Fang had just said.

Jiang Wenxue thought that this meant that the audience agreed with what she said, and she was even happier for a moment, continuing to talk about this, not realizing that the popularity was all supported by scolding her.

However, Jiang Wenxue soon discovered something was wrong.

After a brief rise in popularity, her live broadcast room experienced a rapid decline in popularity. Before long, the popularity index dropped by double digits!

Jiang Wenxue: “?”

This audience is so difficult to lead.
