Chapter 2 Tropical Rainforest 02

Fu Bo didn't notice that Jiang Ran was a little abnormal for a moment. He still looked very interested, which fully proved that "gossip is human nature."

Jiang Ran was very cooperative, showing a shocked expression at the right moment: "Really?! Jiang Ran is here too?"

Fu Bo suddenly slapped his thigh: "How can this be false? I stole it... Anyway, it must be accurate information!"

Jiang Ran echoed: "I really didn't expect that."

"Isn't it? You can imagine how shabby this show is. They even invited Jiang Ran and don't care about reputation at all. If they keep doing this, it will be doomed sooner or later!" Fu Bo said, patting Jiang Ran on the shoulder. "So finding a new home in advance is not a bad choice."

Jiang Ran had only traveled from the 21st century a few days ago, and had not yet adapted to the living environment of the interstellar era. She knew even less about her original self. She only knew that she had the same name as herself, also called Jiang Ran.

The only information she had about her original self during those few days came from a call from an unknown source. Unfortunately, she hadn't installed an automatic translator at the time, so she couldn't understand what the caller was saying. She could only infer from the angry tone that it wasn't a good thing. When she installed the automatic translator and called back, she couldn't get through.

I didn't expect someone would give me a pillow when I felt sleepy.

Jiang Ran pretended to be curious and inquired about the original body: "You seem to know Jiang Ran very well?"

Fu Bo said as a matter of course: "Nonsense! Who in the Federation doesn't know her?"

Jiang Ran: “…” Perhaps Jiang Ran is the only one in the entire federation who doesn’t know herself.

"You should know more, right? Tell me."

Fu Bo's eyes were filled with the expression "You have good taste." He continued, "Jiang Ran wasn't particularly outstanding among celebrities. She became so famous thanks to the 'drama' she directed and acted in a while ago. You should know that, right?"

Jiang Ran, who knew nothing about this, nodded repeatedly: "I know."

"Actually, the real situation is even more exaggerated than what's in the news," Fu Bo took a sip of water before continuing, "This is what my childhood friend told me. I'm only telling you, so don't spread the gossip."

Jiang Ran thought to himself: This person is a leaky information channel himself, how can he have the nerve to ask others not to gossip?

Jiang Ran said: "Okay, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Bo immediately caught up with the person and started telling stories non-stop.

After his vivid and moving scientific explanation, Jiang Ran roughly understood what kind of mess the original body had left behind.

With all this negative information flying around and known to everyone in the Federation, if she continued to stay on the capital planet, she might not even be able to leave the door.

She chose to participate in "Back to Earth" simply because she knew nothing about the interstellar age, so she chose to return to the Earth she knew best and the wilderness she was most familiar with. Unexpectedly, this decision helped her escape a disaster, which was also a coincidence.

Fu Bo told the story vividly and without stopping for a moment. By the end of the popular science lecture, his mouth was dry.

Jiang Ran understood and handed him some water, then said in a timely manner: "Ah, the world is going downhill, how could Jiang Ran do such a thing!"

Fu Boru was like meeting a close friend: "That's right! You can't judge a person by his appearance!"

“…”

Gossip has always been a good way to bring people closer together. After chatting for a while, the two became completely familiar with each other and were almost brothers.

Fu Bo was amused by Jiang Ran's bizarre ideas, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I don't know your name yet."

The words Jiang Ran was about to say suddenly died in his throat. After a long time without receiving an answer, Fu Bo gave him a confused look.

Jiang Ran: "This..."

Fu Bo: “Hmm?”

Jiang Ran: "Well..."

"What's wrong?" Fu Bo was confused. "I just asked for your name. You're not Jiang Ran. What's there to be shy about?"

Jiang Ran: “…”

"Congratulations, you got the answer right. My name is Jiang Ran," she applauded. "It's a pity there's no reward."

Fu Bo: “…”

He was extremely confused: "Same name?"

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment. Before he could speak, Fu Boxian explained himself: "That's right, Jiang Ran is such a popular name, it's normal to have the same name as him. It's just a coincidence that we happened to participate in the same program together, hahaha..."

Jiang Ran paused and laughed helplessly: "I also hope it's a duplicate name."

This time it was Fu Bo's turn to remain silent.

After a long time, Fu Bo opened his mouth wide: "Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Ran raised his hands in surrender: "I will not change my name, nor my surname."

Fu Bo snorted coldly, "Stop lying! Do you think I haven't seen Jiang Ran's photo? She has long hair!"

"Just got it cut," Jiang Ran said, smoothing his hairy chestnut-like head. "I did it myself, no cheating."

Fu Bo didn't believe it at all: "No, Jiang Ran...she has a mole at the corner of her eye, but you don't."

Jiang Ran: "...That's what I put on when I put on makeup. It looks like this after I take it off."

Fu Bo was very shocked: "Why do you need to remove moles when putting on makeup?"

Jiang Ran clapped his hands and said, "Good question, you can ask... my makeup artist."

Fu Bo: "...Do you think I will believe you just like that?"

Jiang Ran spread his hands: "Your freedom."

Fu Bo calmed down and looked carefully at Jiang Ran several times.

If I had longer hair, a mole at the end of my eye, and thicker makeup...

"Do you have a twin sister?"

Jiang Ran: “…”

The starship's jump speed was astonishing. Even though the ancient Earth was tens of thousands of light-years away from the federal capital, the entire jump took less than a day.

During the landing, Jiang Ran looked down at the strange yet familiar Earth through the clear window.

Over thousands of years, the distance between the Earth and the Sun has continued to decrease, and the huge heat from the star has consumed more than half of the Earth's water capacity, which directly led to the disappearance of large areas of blue on the Earth's surface.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and the world changes dramatically.

The once world-famous blue planet is now not very blue.

Jiang Ran and his team landed outside the Amazon rainforest. After all the program-related personnel got off the ship, the spaceship quickly left.

The program recording is done by an automatic tracking ball, so there are not many staff on site. In addition to the one hundred contestants, there is only one host and several emergency rescue personnel.

The first thing to do after arriving on the ground is to call the roll and confirm that the contestants present are consistent with the list.

When the host started calling out the name, Fu Bo frequently cast subtle glances at him. When the voice of "Jiang Ran" was actually heard, he was mentally prepared and finally did not jump up on the spot.

Jiang Ran smiled awkwardly: "I've already said it all."

Fu Bo simply turned his head away and ignored her.

Gossiping about the person who caused the incident is a big taboo in the gossip world!

Brother Jiang Ran is so mean!

At the same time, the host in front had already started explaining the competition system to everyone. Jiang Ran no longer paid attention to Fu Bo, but calmed down and began to listen carefully to the host's explanation.

"The judging criteria are divided into two parts: elimination and points."

"When a contestant's life is in danger, the emergency life bag in the backpack will automatically open to protect everyone's life. Of course, once the life bag opens, it means that the contestant can no longer participate in the next game and is eliminated."

"The effective recording period for this episode is five days, or one hundred and twenty hours. When the recording is finished, the contestants who have not been eliminated will be ranked based on their points, and the top ten contestants will receive various rewards prepared by the program team!"

"The points are divided into two components. 50% is scored by experts based on your performance over the past five days, while the other 50% is determined by the popularity ranking of each player's livestream..."

Hearing this, Jiang Ran gently bumped Fu Bo's arm and asked, "Does everyone have a separate live broadcast room?"

Fu Bo had originally made up his mind to ignore her, but in the end he couldn't resist and replied impatiently, "That's right."

Jiang Ran followed his instructions and found the list of the players' live broadcast rooms. Scrolling down, he exclaimed in admiration, "One hundred players' live broadcast rooms all have exactly the same zero popularity. It's not easy to achieve this."

Fu Bo: “…”

It seems that this program still has little future.

Jiang Ran looked at the list of live broadcast rooms in amazement.

The two were whispering when Jiang Ran suddenly saw the number of people online in his live broadcast room jump from 0 to 1.

Jiang Ran was elated: "Sure enough! Being a celebrity does have its advantages. My name is a ready-made traffic source! It seems I have secured first place!"

Fu Bo really didn't want to agree with this statement. Before he could embarrass her, he saw the only viewer in her live broadcast room start to curse angrily.

[These days are so unlucky that even a notorious star like Jiang Ran has people impersonating him to gain traffic]

【Rotten egg*1】

【Rotten egg*1】

【Rotten egg*1】

Jiang Ran watched helplessly as her popularity value dropped from 0 to -3, and her live broadcast room also plummeted to the bottom of the list of all live broadcast rooms. The veins on her forehead suddenly jumped.

Fu Bo couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Congratulations! First place!"

Jiang Ran: “…”

Jiang Ran: "How can popularity be used to rank such a professional survival show? This is totally unreasonable! This show will end sooner or later!"

Fu Bo made a smug face and said, "If you can't eat the grapes, you will say they are sour, hehe."

On the other end, the host had already noticed the incessant chatter in this corner, and he frowned unhappily.

When the host first saw "Jiang Ran" on the list of contestants, he knew that the recording of this episode would definitely not be peaceful, but he did not expect that this person was even more arrogant and crazy than the legend.

Do you think you can ignore him just because you have hooked up with the young master of the Fu family?

While thinking about it, he gave Jiang Ran a low score in his heart. In the end, the host did not lose face right away and continued to read out the rules.

"Before the official competition begins, the production team has arranged a quiz. The ranking in the quiz will determine the order in which each contestant enters the rainforest arena, as well as the type and amount of supplies they can carry. Everyone must not let their guard down!"

The author has something to say:
