In the following days, Yan Yaoyao and Shen Zhou once again went on a winning streak.

This time, however, it was done more discreetly than before, using a semi-cheating method to participate in the tasks announced on the show, so as not to arouse suspicion from the audience, while achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Soon, their account balance caught up.

By the thirtieth day, Group Two's funds had surpassed those of Group One.

This speed is unbelievable.

Silo raised an eyebrow. "It seems your group has no hope of winning the championship."

Ruan Cha smiled sweetly, "I originally thought that first place was very important, but now I feel that the experience here is the most meaningful."

The experience she had here, the friends she made, are priceless.

Zang Mingqi nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with her words.

"really."

Then, Zhang Song came out with a microphone.

"Our program is coming to an end. Tomorrow at midnight, our program will conclude. Today, we have one last task."

Xiluo wailed, "It's the last two days already, can't a person just get some peace and quiet?"

Zhang Song chuckled, "Precisely because there are only two days left, we need to hurry up and complete the task. The outcome is still unknown."

Everything is still up in the air.

This mission requires a certain amount of physical strength.

There is a mountain on the deserted island called Bufeng Mountain.

The production team planted a flag on the mountaintop, and the guests needed to get there before 5 p.m. to retrieve the flag.

As for how to get to Bufeng Mountain and which mountain is Bufeng Mountain, that's a problem they'll have to figure out for themselves.

Yan Qiao remained unmoved upon hearing this.

"This isn't a difficult problem. We can just find a local resident and have them take us up the mountain."

Zhang Song: "...Now that you've come up with a solution, can you please keep it a secret? Can't you just keep it a secret?"

This is a competition, she has competitors!

Yan Qiao scoffed, "What idiot wouldn't think of this? Why would I keep it a secret?"

Shen Zhou and Yan Yaoyao: "..." She was definitely implying something about them!

Zhang Song waved his hand, "In that case, let's get started!"

Yan Yaoyao raised her hand, "We'll get a reward for completing the task, right?"

"certainly."

"Brother Zhang, can I ask what the reward is first?"

"The first prize is a cover shoot for a major domestic magazine plus a reward of 10,000 yuan, the second prize is 8,000 yuan, and the third prize is 5,000 yuan."

Yan Yaoyao felt relieved. Even if Group 1 won first prize and Group 2 won third prize, with the current funding, Group 1 would not be able to catch up with Group 2.

Therefore, the outcome is already decided!

However, she was still somewhat tempted when she heard about the magazine cover shoot.

"Brother Chenzhou, let's do our best to get first place!" A flame ignited in her eyes.

Shen Zhou patted her hand with a smile, "Since we've started, of course we should do our best."

The two followed Yan Qiao and the others to the Babu tribe.

Ruan Cha is quite familiar with Granny Jiali, a local, and wants to ask her grandson to take her up the mountain.

Grandma Gali was a skilled weaver in the tribe and was highly respected by everyone.

They went to find Gali, while Shen Zhou and Yan Yaoyao went to find the chief of the Babu tribe. The group split into two groups.

That's perfect, Yan Qiao didn't want to be with them either.

Grandma Galie was a very kind person. They naturally knew where Bufeng Mountain was and readily agreed to take them up the mountain.

"Byrd, why don't you take them up the mountain?"

Her youngest grandson was rather quiet; he nodded but didn't say anything.

After talking for a while, Bird led them out.

Before he even left the tribe, Bird was summoned by the chief and given some instructions. When he came out again, his expression was not good.

"Let's go."

He remained silent, leading the way.

Yan Qiao, on the other hand, seemed quite interested and chatted with him from the side.

"Your village can produce cloth, haven't you ever thought about exchanging it?"

"I haven't tried it."

Yan Qiao said, "Why don't you try trading with the Agu tribe? They are skilled hunters, and I believe you can get pork from them."

Bird suddenly stopped and turned to look at her.

As if incredulous, he asked again, "Really?"

Unlike the Agu tribe, the Babu tribe has more elderly, weak, women and children, and is not good at hunting, which complements the Agu tribe.

Yan Qiao nodded. "If you need, I can take you there tomorrow. I've done business with them before."

Bird didn't say whether it was good or bad; he was thinking about something.

After a long silence, he said, "I know a shortcut to Bufeng Mountain. Do you want to follow it? It'll be there in half an hour."

Yan Qiao asked, "Is it dangerous?"

"No, I go there often; that road is easier to walk on."

He often went up the mountain because he could overlook the entire island from Bufeng Mountain.

Because the normal path up the mountain was difficult to walk, he found this shortcut on his own.

Yan Qiao looked at Ruan Cha and the others, "Are you going?"

Xi Luo said, "Why not take the shortcut if there's one? Let's go."

Bird then led them down another road.

At this moment, Shen Zhou and Yan Yaoyao slowly set off.

They seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll.

Yan Yaoyao said confidently, "We're sure to be number one, no need to rush."

She and Shen Zhou went to see the leader and made a deal with him so that Yan Qiao and the other three would not be able to reach the mountaintop.

Bird would lead them on a detour, and they wouldn't reach the top of the mountain until dark.

Shen Zhou said, "We still need to hurry, otherwise we might not be able to get to the mountain before five o'clock."

Yan Yaoyao retorted, "Brother Chenzhou, you're overthinking it. How could that be?"

However, the road ahead crushed her confidence.

Probably because it had rained, the roads were muddy, and damp clay stuck to the soles of my shoes, making it impossible to clean them off.

As they ventured deeper into the jungle, the darkness was so intense that only a few rays of light penetrated, and the shoes grew increasingly heavy, making Yan Yaoyao extremely irritable.

"Did you take the wrong road?"

"No, this is the right way. There is only one way to get up Bufeng Mountain."

Upon receiving a positive reply, Yan Yaoyao was devastated.

She couldn't possibly make it to the top of the mountain on this path.

"Brother Chenzhou, I can't walk anymore."

Shen Zhou's current situation is not much better than hers. It seems that God couldn't bear to see him have such a smooth life in the first half of his life. All the hardships he had never experienced in his life were on this show.

"Yaoyao, hang in there a little longer, we'll be there soon."

Yan Yaoyao bit her lip. How could we be almost there? It's still a long way off. We haven't even started going uphill yet. We're probably still quite a distance from the foot of the mountain.

"But I really can't walk anymore."

Chen Zhou sighed helplessly, "Then what do you want to do? We're not going up the mountain, and we're abandoning the mission?"

Yan Yaoyao was conflicted; she didn't want to give up the mission.

If she makes it up the mountain, even if she only comes in third place, she can still get a prize of five thousand yuan.

But if we give up now, we won't even get 5,000, and Group Two won't be able to win the championship in the end.

Moreover, once they get up the mountain, they're guaranteed to be number one; Yan Qiao and the others have no idea where they've been taken.
