Back on the grassland, Ye Zi began to busy herself with her own affairs, and Si Qin did not assign any tasks to deliver gifts.

It was late autumn, and Ye Zi's family had moved into a villa this year, which increased their heating fuel needs significantly. So Ye Zi ordered a truckload of coal.

Coal has no expiration date and won't spoil. If you have enough money, you can buy it and use it slowly. You can buy it once and use it for several years, which is very suitable.

However, unloading the coal was a real ordeal for Ye Zi. Looking at the nearly thirty tons of coal, Ye Zi scratched his head, then wielded a shovel and rushed onto the truck.

Ye Zi transported thirty tons of coal by herself in two hours, leaving the tow truck driver dumbfounded.

While this efficiency is not comparable to that of a loader, it far exceeds the speed of a normal person, and it is for a small team of loaders.

After settling the freight charges and sending the trailer away, Ye Zi went back to her room to wash up, just like an African.

The coal that was just unloaded outside was as long as a trailer car, because the leaves were unloaded directly from the side of the car. And they don't plan to move it.

In the summer, with ample rainfall, the pasture grew wildly. Ye Qingshan bought a large tractor to harvest the pasture, so the Ye family needed to buy much less pasture this year.

After dealing with family matters, life returned to normal, but this peace did not last long. An invitation letter gave Yezi an opportunity to make money.

The invitation was about wilderness survival, and like last time, it was a multinational survival show.

The show changed its usual survival routine, shifting from a fixed-point survival to traversing a certain region of the African continent.

The entire journey is nearly 2,000 kilometers and will take at least two months.

The production team prepared trackers for the contestants, which only showed their own location and the location of their destination. How to get there was up to the contestants themselves.

The participants are paired up in groups of two, with a male and a female pair. This time, there are no restrictions on whether the participants are professional wilderness survivalists or not; even veterans are welcome.

The reason for sending an invitation to Ye Zi was mainly because his performance in the previous two shows was outstanding.

That's true, and Ye Zi herself admits it. After all, she's a two-time survival champion. If someone like that doesn't get an invitation, then that's unreasonable.

Furthermore, the selection of participants is the same as the previous multinational survival competition. Each of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council has five slots. If more than five slots are available, a registration fee of two million dollars per group must be paid.

For countries outside the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, each group will receive two million dollars, with no limit on the number of groups.

It soon became clear why there were no restrictions on the contestants' backgrounds: the journey of 2,000 kilometers, even if driven entirely on highways, would take a full day and night.

Moreover, this is wilderness survival, there are no roads, and you have to travel every day to find food and water. In addition to survival tools and food and water reserves, people who have not undergone similar training can't even compete for the championship. They would be considered excellent if they could last for three days.

Only those who have undergone similar training could possibly complete such a competition.

But it's only a possibility. Two thousand kilometers, not two kilometers. Considering food, water, and all sorts of unknown dangers, being able to travel fifty kilometers a day would be considered impressive.

Fifty kilometers a day, even under ideal conditions, would take forty days, but this is wilderness survival, and it happens on the continent of Aztecs.

The continent of Black Africa is sparsely populated, but various animals roam in large numbers, which gives a sense of its danger.

Under such circumstances, the difficulty of traveling 50 kilometers every day is self-evident.

Putting all that aside, the physical strength of the participants is also questionable. This is walking, not riding in a car. With only one pair of shoes, what is needed is not only sufficient physical strength, but also a pair of iron feet.

There's also the prize money, five million dollars. Even if the two of them split it equally, each of them would get two and a half million dollars. Add in the daily bonus, and it'll be around three million dollars.

If converted to Chinese Yuan, it would be around 20 million.

The amount sounds tempting, doesn't it? But the prerequisite is that you have to be alive to earn that money.

The rescue team will follow the participants 10 kilometers behind. The tracker has a distress button, and the rescue team will only be dispatched if the distress button is pressed.

Although the rescue team has vehicles, the ten-kilometer journey won't take long, but whether they encounter a pride of lions or a pack of hyenas, that short time is enough for someone without fighting experience to die.

All of the above may not matter to Ye Zi, but for most people who are eyeing the bonus, it is definitely the best deterrent.

It is indeed a great tragedy for a person to die before they have spent all their money, but it is even more tragic to die before the money is even in hand.

Survival shows like this require signing a waiver; if you die, you die, and there's no compensation.

Many animals on the Black Plains are protected. If you kill them with a melee weapon, it's no big deal; the locals will think you're strong.

If someone kills a lion with their bare hands, the locals will treat them as an honored guest.

But if you use a gun, you will face legal penalties in that country.

It's true that some people go to the Black Continent with guns to hunt lions, but they don't openly show off.

This is a live broadcast. Even if the rescue team arrives in time, they can usually only scare them off with gunfire, or at most drive them away with rubber bullets, or knock them down with tranquilizer darts.

However, rubber bullets have limited range, and tranquilizer darts take time to take effect. Rescue teams are paid to do their jobs, but their own safety is the prerequisite. Otherwise, their motto is "better to die than see yourselves die."

No insurance company would be willing to take on such an order.

After reading the invitation and related content on her phone, Ye Zi grinned. "Why not take advantage of this free lunch?"

I wonder who my partner will be. But with this kind of competition mechanism, I believe that people without the ability won't sign up, let alone pass the preliminary rounds.

Those who can wait to meet and team up must be strong. As long as they are not particularly troublesome, Ye Zi does not mind cooperating with them.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Zi picked up her phone, which she had just put down, and started a video group chat with Huang Jingyu, Er Ya, and Reba.

After the video call connected, Ye Zi got straight to the point and mentioned the invitation she had received.

However, all three of them claimed to know nothing about it and said they had not received anything similar.

When asked by the three men, Ye Zi briefly explained the contents of the invitation. Then the three men fell silent. This was a high-level game, and they couldn't afford to play it. This was probably why they hadn't received an invitation.

Perhaps the yellow whale could give it a try, but the chances are slim.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Zi called Wu Jing again, but the latter also knew nothing about the invitation.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Zi roughly understood what the new program team was thinking.

Those invited are all experts in wilderness survival, or at least have a great reputation.

Ye Zi is quite famous in the wilderness survival circle, so she was invited. As for the rest of the participants, it's entirely up to their personal wishes, and the final selection will be made by the production team.
