Ye Zi was in a good mood as she sped across the sea on a speedboat. Her mood improved even more after boarding the cruise ship. The first thing she did upon returning to her room was to take out a cigarette from her bag, light one, and comfortably lean back on the sofa to rest.

After finishing his cigarette, Ye Zi took a shower, changed his clothes, and then went up to the deck.

The cruise ship had already set sail by then. Not long after, his phone rang. Ye Zi glanced at his phone and saw a message from his mother, Siqin, telling him to get some rest and then make a video call back.

After seeing the drone announce that Ye Zi had won the match and the live stream ended, Siqin immediately told her husband and then sent a message to Ye Zi.

However, Yezi's phone had just been charged and was turned on when she left the room. She then put it in her pocket, and it only started receiving information after automatically connecting to the cruise ship's network, which caused some delay.

Thinking that my mother probably had a lot to say, I decided to go back to my room and start the video call later.

After waiting for a while, Liu Hu didn't come out, nor did Reba, so Ye Zi had to go to the restaurant alone.

Unexpectedly, I saw Liu Hu at the restaurant. He was having a meal with his men, and after finishing his meal, he was about to leave by helicopter on the cruise ship.

Ye Zi took out a freshly opened pack of domestic cigarettes and handed it to Liu Hu as a parting gift.

Liu Hu thought for a moment, then took a military knife out of his backpack and handed it to Ye Zi, saying:

"This is my spare military knife. I'm giving it to you. How you take it back is up to you."

Ye Zi drew her military knife, examined the blade, flicked the handle, sheathed it, and with a swift movement, the knife vanished. Then she said to Liu Hu:

"Thanks, but if I want to hide something, no one can find it."

Liu Hu was surprised. Ye Zi was wearing short sleeves, and the military knife had disappeared into her hand without any sleeves to cover it. This was definitely a trick to save someone's life.

Are you sure you can't find anyone?

Ye Zi raised her hands, gesturing for Liu Hu to try.

Liu Hu put down his cutlery, got up and came to Ye Zi's side to begin searching her. Ye Zi didn't move at all during the whole process, and with several of Liu Hu's men watching, she didn't make any small moves.

Liu Hu was surprised to find nothing after searching Ye Zi. He had been walking on the edge of a knife for many years and had disarmed his opponents more than once, but he had gained nothing from Ye Zi.

He was surprised that he couldn't find a military knife on Ye Zi, even though he knew she had one.

One of Liu Hu's Chinese subordinates said:

"I'll give it a try."

Ye Zi smiled and nodded.

The young man walked up to Ye Zi and began to explore her, but eventually shook his head at Liu Hu with a blank expression.

Liu Hu's eyes lit up as he said:

"How did you do that? Can you teach me?"

Ye Zi flicked her wrist, and a sheathed military knife appeared in her hand. Then she said:

“I can teach, but to be honest, I don’t know how to teach. You know, I come from the grasslands, and I’ve eaten hand-pulled mutton since I was a child, the kind you cut with a knife. That’s how it is over time.”

Liu Hu rolled his eyes at Ye Zi and laughed, scolding her:

"What you're saying is meaningless. If I really trained like you, I would have retired long ago by the time I mastered it. What good would that have been?"

Ye Zi shrugged helplessly, then with a flick of her wrists, the military knife disappeared.

At this moment, Reba came out of the room, found the dining room, and called out. Ye Zi said to Liu Hu:

"Brother Tiger, farewell. I hope we meet again someday. I wish you all the best."

"Goodbye, come find me if you can't make it in China."

Ye Zi nodded and turned to leave.

After Ye Zi left, the young man who had just tried to search for the military knife said:

"Boss, that kid's move just now was pretty weird, but he didn't say how to practice it."

Liu Hu laughed and scolded:

"Isn't that obvious? Either it's really like he said, that it becomes a habit, or it's a secret technique that can't be passed on to others."

However, I lean towards the former, since we've both seen his resume.

The young man nodded, then sat back down to continue eating. But what Liu Hu said was true. After the last program ended, Liu Hu had someone check Ye Zi's information. Before participating in the program, she could only be described as ordinary, without any outstanding features.

I never expected that participating in a wilderness survival activity would completely change me.

At the time, Liu Hu still had a slight idea about recruiting Ye Zi, but after Ye Zi returned to the grasslands, there was no news of her. Liu Hu knew that someone like Ye Zi was not suited for their line of work, so he stopped thinking about it.

To be honest, he was very envious of Ye Zi's skill in hiding a knife and wanted to learn it, but as Ye Zi said, if it would take a long time to master, then there was no need for it.

Moreover, judging from the information, Ye Zi doesn't seem to be the kind of person who hoards things. After so many interactions, Liu Hu is confident in his judgment.

After Ye Zi met up with Reba, she asked someone to bring her some of the things she wanted to eat from the restaurant, and then they sat down to eat.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms. Dilraba contacted her management team, while Ye Zi made a video call to her mother.

After the video call connected, Siqin and Ye Qingshan appeared on the screen together, and in the background, it was already dark on the grassland.

The conversation was divided into three parts. First, Ye Zi inquired about Reba's situation. This part was cut off by Ye Zi. It wasn't until her mother started to think about her daughter-in-law that Ye Zi dared not make any moves on Reba. Besides, neither of them had that intention.

The second part was asking Ye Zi when she would go home, but Ye Zi didn't know either; it all depended on the production team's arrangements.

The last part is criticism and education, where Siqin complains about Ye Zi's one-on-one fight with a thresher shark and a great white shark, and that it was such a big adult great white shark.

Although she won, as a mother, I felt that Yezi's behavior was dangerous no matter how I looked at it.

In fact, not only Siqin, as a mother, felt it was dangerous, but anyone would feel it was dangerous to fight a great white shark alone in the sea.

After hanging up the video call, Ye Zi checked if there were any surveillance cameras in the room. After confirming that there were no security risks, Ye Zi took out rifle parts from her spatial storage and assembled a complete rifle.

It's not that they don't assemble them on the island, but they don't have the opportunity. The drones that follow them are all in his room at night, so he has virtually no privacy except when he goes to the toilet or takes a shower.

Perhaps fishing at sea is considered private time, but what about the seawater inside the barrel when assembling a rifle in the sea? Are you just going to let the barrel rust?

After putting away his rifle and relaxing for a while with a cigarette, he went to bed to rest.

The next day at noon, the cruise ship docked, and Ye Zi and Dilraba disembarked with a group of program crew members. Dilraba's management team immediately surrounded her.

Then they took a car to the hotel to rest. After another day, the group took a car to the airport, boarded a plane, and prepared to return home.

Throughout the entire process, Ye Zi had no idea which country he was in. No one told him, and he didn't ask. He just did whatever the production team arranged.

A day later, the plane landed in Shanghai, and Ye Zi was finally back in China.

After inquiring about the program's arrangements, Ye Zi bought a plane ticket home online, then declined the program's celebration banquet—or rather, the Douyin (TikTok) celebration banquet—and boarded the plane back to the grasslands alone.
