Back on the island, Yezi pretended nothing had happened until lunch break, when she told Reba through the wall what had happened that morning.

Dilraba expressed her support for Ye Zi's decision, because Ye Zi's purpose in participating in the show was to gain fame. In this kind of competition, everyone will remember who the champion is, but not who the runner-up is.

Moreover, these kinds of things usually require communication with the agency before the artist is notified. She can't make that decision, nor does she want to. She can leave everything to Ye Zi.

Meanwhile, another group of contestants, who had just rested all morning after the storm, also got up.

However, after waking up, their mental states were noticeably different.

One was full of energy, while the other had a slightly flushed face and swayed slightly when walking.

Then, one person went into the sea to get food, while the other stayed in the camp to prepare a fire and cook.

The person who was trying to persuade Ye Zi had already returned to the cruise ship, handed over the notes from the conversation to their superiors, and then went back to rest.

When the leaders of Douyin saw that Ye Zi was not satisfied with the compensation of one million yuan, they were both angry and a little happy.

He gets angry because Yezi is not satisfied; in his eyes, she is too greedy and doesn't know how to appreciate it.

But I'm happy because as long as Ye Zi doesn't give up, the suspense of who will win the championship will remain until the very end.

It's true that Ye Zi has a big appetite, but no matter how much money Ye Zi wants, it won't come from him alone; in fact, he'll contribute the least.

But if Yezi doesn't listen, it will upset him.

Moreover, the person he sent to negotiate with Ye Zi was not one of his subordinates. As long as he agreed to negotiate with Ye Zi, he didn't need to worry about the rest.

I held a video conference, explained Yezi's requirements to the leaders of other platforms, asked them to discuss a price, and then waited for the results.

In the afternoon, Ye Zi and Reba leisurely passed the time, while the other group of contestants finally realized that something was wrong: one of the contestants had a fever.

She got caught in the rain and wind, and went to rest before her clothes were completely dry. She didn't eat much for lunch, and went to rest again after tidying up. She was still asleep when it was time to cook in the afternoon.

The teammate went in to call for help, only to find that his partner had a fever.

This situation was naturally noticed by the production team, who immediately stopped discussing the compensation amount for Ye Zi and waited to see how things would develop.

After persisting overnight, not only did the fever not subside, but cold symptoms appeared instead. This changed the situation, as the combination of a cold and fever, coupled with a long-term diet of only one type of food, led to the current predicament.

Either you don't get sick, or if you do, in the absence of medical care and medicine, the patient's recovery depends entirely on fate, and bad luck may endanger their life.

Similar phenomena were common in ancient times. What was called "wind-cold" in ancient times is what we now call the common cold. How many people died from a single case of "wind-cold"?

So when their partner showed cold symptoms, the two immediately discussed giving up.

Needless to say, in this situation, if someone has to take care of a sick teammate and worry about food, winning the game is just wishful thinking.

At this point, without them having to say anything, the production team had already sent out a rescue team. The current situation is that everyone is happy. The production team doesn't need to worry about who wins the championship or the grand prize, nor do they need to discuss how much compensation to give Ye Zi. They can also end the show immediately.

Even if a contestant recovers from illness, the production team will announce that she needs immediate treatment, thus disqualifying her from the competition.

After the rescue team arrived at the last group of contestants' survival location, Ye Zi also received notification that the competition had ended.

Leaf, who was still fishing, only came up from the seabed to get some fresh air, and the drone immediately said:

"Ye Zi, the match is over. Your group won. Someone will be here to pick you up soon. Get ready to go ashore."

Ye Zi raised an eyebrow, nodded, and didn't mention a word about the discussion about withdrawing from the competition and compensation yesterday. She then threw away her newly acquired catch and started swimming back.

Once ashore, Reba was already waiting on the bank. Before Yezi could speak, Reba said happily:

"We won."

Ye Zi responded cheerfully:

"Yes, we won. We can finally go back and renovate our house."

That's right, Ye Zi has already started planning the house renovation in the store. Ever since the program team sent someone to talk to him about giving up yesterday, Ye Zi has been thinking about this matter.

"Over five million, your house must be decorated very luxuriously."

"I need to pay taxes, so I'll probably only get three or four million. Besides, I can't possibly spend that much money renovating my house."

"I'll go visit once the renovation is finished."

"Er Ya and Lao Huang also said they want to go, so you can go together then."

Reba nodded, then sighed softly. Yezi asked:

"What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"

"The show is over, which is a bit of a shame."

"What's a pity?" Ye Zi asked, puzzled.

"Paid leave, huh? That's it for now."

Ye Zi paused for a moment, then said:

"Is being in the entertainment industry this tiring? Er Ya and Lao Huang had the same feeling when the last show ended."

Reba slightly pursed her lips, said nothing, but gave Ye Zi a knowing look.

Ye Zi instantly understood that Er Ya and Huang Jingyu had also expressed similar sentiments. He had asked them about it before, and he figured that Reba's answer would be similar to theirs.

Then he changed the subject:

"The production crew is coming to pick us up. Let's go back and pack up."

Reba nodded, regaining her smug expression, and then headed towards the shelter.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack in the shelter. Apart from homemade wooden tableware, a thresher shark swimsuit, and the survival tools we brought with us, there was nothing else.

Ye Zi took out the great white shark skin and asked Reba if she wanted to collect some. Reba shook her head and refused, but Ye Zi still gave the remaining longtail shark skin to Reba so she could modify her swimsuit later and maybe use it.

After much deliberation, Ye Zi decided to keep all the survival tools. Perhaps someone who had been shipwrecked at sea would drift here, and at least they would have some tools to use once they reached the shore.

Moreover, even if these items are taken back, the production team won't keep them.

Dilraba brought a sharkskin swimsuit, a swimsuit, and wooden tableware.

In Dilraba's words, these wooden tableware pieces are the best proof of her participation in the survival show and are very meaningful.

Yezi only brought her swimming trunks and a whole great white shark skin.

The two arrived at the beach with their belongings, and not long after, a speedboat appeared on the sea in the distance.

After the speedboat docked, Liu Hu was there to pick them up again. Once the two boarded, Liu Hu joked:

"A multi-millionaire has made another fortune. Congratulations."

Ye Zi said happily:

"Congratulations! I made money, and you made some too, Tiger. Are you going back to relax?"

Liu Hu paused for a moment, then said:

"There's no time left. If I don't go back soon, they won't assign me any more missions. Besides, I didn't earn much from this mission at all."

"Then consider it a holiday."

"So I have to go back and get my mission back."
