After leaving the restaurant, Ye Zi said goodbye to Aunt Fan and invited her to visit the grassland when she had free time, then rode away on her bicycle.

After Ye Zi left, Aunt Fan asked her niece:

What do you think of the leaves?

"I don't have much ambition," the girl replied casually.

Aunt Fan smiled and said:

"Who can blame him for being rich? Besides, he's used to life on the grasslands, so it's normal for him not to be used to being controlled in the city."

"That little bit of money is probably enough for him to live his whole life the way he does now."

Such a good online traffic base is being wasted; there's no future in it.

Aunt Fan was about to say a few words of advice when her husband pulled her back, and she swallowed the words she was about to say.

After chatting for a few more minutes, the girl took a taxi and left.

Finally, only Aunt Fan and her husband remained. Aunt Fan asked:

"Why didn't you let me speak earlier? Yezi's family is so well-off, she definitely won't have to worry about money after marriage."

The man smiled and said:

"You haven't realized yet, Ye Zi never intended to go on a blind date. She was probably tricked into coming by Siqin and her husband. She's already given up and clearly doesn't like them."

Besides, your niece also thinks he lacks ambition, and trying to persuade him is useless.

Aunt Fan thought for a moment and finally sighed. She had known Siqin for many years and knew her family situation quite well.

Moreover, according to Siqin, Yezi shouldn't have acted the way she did during the meal.

All of the above suggests that Ye Zi was disguising herself and deliberately trying to leave a bad impression on her niece in order to avoid blind dates.

Ye Zi has never told anyone, except himself, that he earns money without deducting taxes.

To outsiders, the one-third of the tax that was deducted was actually always in his account.

Siqin and Ye Qingshan had a rather weak understanding of this tax concept, because the sale of livestock at home was usually done in cash and no taxes had ever been deducted, so they had never asked Ye Zi about it.

Moreover, Ye Qingshan and his wife felt that how much money their son earned was his private matter; if he had money, he could use it himself, and if he didn't, he could say so, as the family had enough.

Back home in the county town, Ye Zi immediately dialed her mother's number. When Siqin appeared on the phone screen with a mischievous grin, Ye Zi stared blankly, then asked:

"Mom, this isn't a gift-giving ceremony today, it's more like a blind date."

Siqin grinned and said:

"Pretty much, how about it, do you like it?"

Ye Zi pouted and said:

"I don't like it, and besides, no one wants to live on the grasslands."

"Let's talk about it next time then."

"There's going to be a next time? Can't I find someone myself? Stop arranging blind dates, especially these random ones."

"Okay, okay, when are you coming back?" Siqin replied casually.

"Tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Then the video call ended.

Ye Zi put down the phone with a wry smile. Her mother clearly didn't take it seriously. In any case, Ye Zi wouldn't easily believe the excuse of giving gifts next time.

Bored at home, Yezi went out for a stroll, bought a lot of dried meat and stuffed it into her space, then went home to rest. The next morning, she set off back to the grassland.

Just as Ye Zi was setting off back to the grasslands, seven or eight people were watching a video together in a luxury suite at a hotel abroad.

The video was edited and only shows Ye Zi's highlights from the survival show.

Carrying freshly chopped logs back to camp, he fights wolves one-on-one, beats black bears to death, shoots moose with flying stones, kicks brown bears to death, kills thresher sharks, drags great white sharks out of the sea, and swings great white sharks away—and this is repeated over and over again.

"I never expected such a monster to appear in China. What do you think?"

Another person made a few moves on the computer, displaying the footage of the handover of the cultural relics. Pointing to two people wearing Zhongshan suits in the image, he said:

"They should have already made contact with this monster. According to the information provided by Elisa, this monster should be very hostile towards us."

The chances of obtaining it are very small, almost nonexistent.

"Elisa hid it well. On the surface, she was just an interviewer from an animal protection organization, but no one would have guessed that she was a language genius, fluent in multiple languages. Elisa relayed every word that this monster said to us."

"If we can't have it, let's destroy it," the leader said, staring at the leaves on the screen.

"What are the specific arrangements?" another person asked.

"Let's start with wilderness survival and end with wilderness survival. Black Continent is a good choice. It's full of venomous snakes and wild beasts. We can also give him a burden and find someone to pretend to be a cannibal to take action when necessary."

"clear."

Those present were not surprised at all; instead, they all wore sinister expressions.

After the leader left, the remaining people looked at the image of the leaf frozen on the screen, and one of them said:

"Those who shouldn't be there, even if they are, must disappear."

"If he doesn't reject us, that would be great. At least we could have someone donate his blood to us."

"What a pity," the only woman said, staring at the leaves on the screen, while swallowing hard.

"Let's get down to business. Since it's wilderness survival, there are two basic options: surviving in a fixed location and surviving by crossing over."

Which one do you think is more suitable?

"Let's try to survive by traversing through the area. Surviving in a fixed location isn't difficult for this monster; the previous two instances are examples of that."

A survival challenge: give them a destination, and they'll encounter various ferocious beasts along the way. The threats posed by prides of lions and packs of hyenas will definitely meet our requirements.

Besides, those venomous snakes don't actively seek out trouble with humans.

"Where's the burden?"

"There are so many popular actresses in China, and more than one of them has princess syndrome. You can find any one of them."

"Don't look for those kinds of people. They can indeed be a hindrance, but only on a mental level. They can't stand it and will quit at any time, which can actually save his life. You should look for someone who is physically weak but has a strong character."

Such people don't give up easily, but they can't offer help either, and they can be a distraction when danger arises.

"agree."

Where are your survival tools?

"Ten survival tools for two people is just right."

"Does clothing count?"

"No. Although our target is him, the others are just easy prey without enough survival tools. For the safety of the others, this does not include clothing."

"Then prepare some cheap tools for him, just make sure they're not too obvious."

"Okay, how much is the bonus?"

"Just like last time, $10,000 per person per day, with a grand prize of $5 million."

"Isn't it too high?"

"Not high, but it's a multinational survival competition, and it's a survival challenge across a distance. You can only get the prize money after you reach the destination. It's not just about the ability to face danger, but also about speed."

After all, if you arrive late, you won't get the money.

"That's right, we have a sucker to pay for it, so we're not going to lose money no matter what."

Several people nodded, and the first person to speak said:

"Since there are no other problems, let's go find someone and find the most dangerous road."
