While dodging, Chen Yi shot and eliminated the fake men. The survivors with props also shot at the other fake men, while the other survivors without props could only hide here and there, but in the empty square, there was nowhere to hide.

The fake humans had no choice but to temporarily abandon their attack on Zhang Nan and instead turn their attention to the survivors.

Suddenly, a chaotic battle broke out in the empty square.

Chen Yi noticed that Zhang Nan was taking advantage of the chaos to move towards the altar, so she followed suit.

Chen Yi had only taken two steps when she noticed the entire square was beginning to shake violently. Eight stone pillars rose from the outside and slowly moved towards the center, instantly eliminating anyone on the outside of the pillars.

The number of stone pillars gradually decreased as they approached, getting closer and closer. Some contestants even pushed each other to avoid being eliminated. The center of the stone pillars was the altar, where Zhang Nan was already standing.

Chen Yi suddenly realized that there were already nearly five people around her. If she ran over, it would be like walking into a trap with the purification rune on her back. Zhang Nan's escape in front was deliberately so obvious to lure her to follow.

Zhang Nan guessed that the item was in his possession. Chen Yi now suspected that Zhang Nan had deliberately caused all of this, starting with controlling the ratio. Perhaps the ratio of survivors to fake people was not the key; the number of people was the key.

When ten people remained, the stone pillars shrank and started to activate. Zhang Nan deliberately made the ratio of people unbalanced, so that he had a legitimate reason to eliminate the fake people. He also deliberately kept the number of people at about 1:1, so that Chen Yi would unconsciously overthink and start a melee. In the end, he successfully activated the stone pillars and made Chen Yi, who was carrying props, walk into the trap.

Within such a small circle, with Zhang Nan's fighting prowess, such a small number of people would not be a match for him.

Zhang Nan had been guiding things in his favor from beginning to end. If everyone were scattered, Zhang Nan might have had to worry about being ambushed, but now he didn't need to worry at all, as the number of people had reached a point where he could deal with them by force.

Perhaps Zhang Nan had foreseen Shen Yicheng's appearance in her life. If Shen Yicheng hadn't kept saying how despicable and calculating Zhang Nan was, she might not have overanalyzed Zhang Nan's every move, thus becoming a pawn in achieving the other party's goals.

However, it was all too late. Zhang Nan had indeed foreseen this, but she wouldn't let him have his way.

When Chen Yi met Zhang Nan's smiling gaze, she didn't hesitate to take out the purification rune from her body and throw it outside the stone pillar.

Zhang Nan's smile faded, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her pupils seemed like dark vortexes, unfathomable.

Chen Yi was eliminated, which she had expected. There was no one left in the arena who could match Zhang Nan. Those who were strong had been blocked by him by his group, and Shen Yicheng, who was not weak, was misled by him and voted incorrectly and was eliminated. Now there were very few people left.

The defeat is inevitable.

When the stone pillar was compressed into the altar, Zhang Nan eliminated all the contestants and stood until the end, becoming the champion of "Island Escape" and the winner of the 50 million yuan prize.

After the game ended, Wang Quan still had some PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) towards Zhang Nan. This survival game had destroyed the trust between him and Zhang Nan.

Zhang Nan smiled at him just like she always did in the dorm, but Wang Quan instinctively started shivering. Luckily, they were about to graduate, otherwise Wang Quan couldn't imagine how they would get along in the same dorm.

Lin Xiaoxiao was overjoyed to finally finish recording the variety show because Zhang Nan had caused the 24-hour program to end in the evening. Others suggested that Lin Xiaoxiao should re-record it, but Lin Xiaoxiao rejected them all.

I already said I wanted it to be real. If it's fake, she'll have to think of something, which is a waste of her brain cells. Besides, she feels she has plenty of time; she can just cut it up and leave it lying around.

She's here to sabotage the project and waste the investment; she's not really here to make a show.

The next day, Lin Xiaoxiao met an unexpected person.

"You said you want to sign with our company?!"

Lin Xiaoxiao racked her brains but still couldn't figure out what was going on. "Aren't you a computer science major? Our company is an entertainment company, you know that, right?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was facing Zhang Nan, the champion of "Survival on an Island". "I know."

"Our company's compensation is not very good in the industry, and we don't have many other resources, only internal resources. If you want to join, you can look at other companies."

Zhang Nan's beautiful eyes were very clear. "I chose Feiyang Entertainment on my own initiative, but Director Lin, you advised me to go to another company. It's hard not to be suspicious."

Lin Xiaoxiao felt like she'd been hit where it hurt, but she remained calm on the surface. "I can tell you're a smart person, so just tell me, why do you want to get into this industry?"

Zhang Nan seemed to think for a moment, then said, "Director Lin, don't be so serious. I just suddenly realized that filming variety shows and TV dramas should be quite interesting."

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't believe it. "Then why come to our company?"

"Of course it's because we're familiar with each other; after all, we've worked together before."

Lin Xiaoxiao fell silent. She had a feeling that this guy was up to something, but judging from his appearance, he was indeed very suitable for this job. However, he wasn't here to start a company properly; he was going to return to a wealthy family.

Before Lin Xiaoxiao could refuse, Zhang Nan said, "Is Ms. Lin afraid? Otherwise, why don't you dare to let me join? My salary requirements are the same as other artists in your company, and I don't have any bad intentions. I just want to earn some money. Don't rush to refuse me. At least give me a trial period."

Lin Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Fine, since he insists on coming, let him come. He'll get the same treatment as Sheng Yiyi, so I won't lose out."

After all, Feiyang Entertainment didn't initially plan to sign any artists. If it weren't for Sheng Yiyi's mother, she probably wouldn't have signed any artists at all.

Therefore, the company's compensation package was designed according to the suggestions made by Sheng Yiyi's mother. Income consisted of a base salary plus project bonuses, a percentage of social security contributions paid, and various annual benefits. Work was also required to be done according to the employee's own wishes, and no illegal activities were permitted.

Compared to other large companies that offer high commissions with no base salary, their company's artists are treated much like regular employees, except they don't have to work 9-to-5 and their salaries and commissions are higher. Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think much about it when she made the plan; after all, she'd soon be back in a wealthy family, so this money would be nothing to her.

Anyone else in the industry with a modicum of ambition wouldn't choose to sign with Feiyang Entertainment, since the benefits are practically a retirement plan.

Now, someone has come along who insists on joining their company, without making any demands regarding the compensation. Lin Xiaoxiao can only think of it as a case of "the more lice, the less they bother," since she's going to herd one sheep or two sheep anyway.

She's planning to go back to her wealthy family and retire peacefully. I wonder if her older brother has seen the news about her spending all her investments. Now he should believe that she's really determined to retire peacefully.
