Soon, the director brought out a box.
Apart from a fist-sized opening at the top, there was no way to see inside the box.
However, some people questioned the director as soon as he took the box out.
'Could there be something fishy going on? Does anyone know what kind of mechanism is inside that box?'
'I also suspect that the area inside might have already been divided into sections, and everyone is just following a script.'
Fortunately, the production team had the foresight to know that this generation of netizens was not easily fooled and were watching the show with a magnifying glass. In order to avoid being questioned, they had already come up with a countermeasure.
The director turned the box upside down, picked it up, and shook it vigorously.
"To be fair, let me show you first. This box is empty; there's nothing inside. Now, someone come and bring me the ball."
"Alright, now everyone can clearly see that there are 8 balls in total. The 4 red balls are marked with the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4. The white balls are blank; there's nothing on them. Now I'm going to put these 8 balls in. Is that alright?"
"No!" Jing Hao readily agreed. "But it looks a bit like a magic trick."
Live chat: 'Haha, I didn't expect our Captain Jing to have a bit of a sense of humor after all.'
'Is this the charm of an older man? I've seen it now.'
'What old man? Our Captain Jing is clearly experiencing a second spring in his life, he's in his prime!'
As they were talking, the director had already shaken the balls in the box to mix them evenly.
"Then let's follow the same old rules and draw lots according to your current standing order, okay?"
The positions were originally random, and the draw was also random, so no one had any objections.
Soon, each of the eight guests had a ball in their hands.
The players holding red balls numbered 1 to 4 are Xu He, Yin Haoyu, Qin Yan, and Jiang Wanwan, respectively.
The remaining four, Jing Hao, Wen Yan, Shen Jingchuan, and Shen Jinghe, were the white balls.
Upon seeing this, many viewers in the live stream started flooding the screen with comments.
'What's going on? Is this really not something fishy? Why do the people I like all get the white balls? They don't even have a choice!'
"Um... it seems the production team didn't know who you liked either. It was just a coincidence."
"Yeah, mainly because I think the people who got the red balls were all pretty good. There wasn't anyone like Min Xiaxia, so I don't think there's a big problem."
'Yes, yes, as long as that rotten apple is gone, everything will be fine.'
'555, is that all I care about? What I care about is that both Alex and Wen Yan drew the white ball. Last season, Alex said he hoped to team up with Wen Yan in the second season. I thought they worked together very well last season, and I was really looking forward to their collaboration!'
'Waaaah, now the two of them have no chance.'
"Try to be optimistic. Maybe if you choose all four red balls, you can team up with the white ball."
'555, it feels like the hope is very slim'
Stop typing, they've already started choosing!
In the first group, Xu He, who played red ball number 1, chose Jing Hao, who played white ball.
This was entirely expected by the audience.
After the two successfully teamed up, the chat was flooded with the phrase "as expected".
But the choice made by Yin Haoyu, number 2 on the red ball, was somewhat unexpected.
Because Yin Haoyu actually chose Wen Yan, who was holding the white ball.
Not to mention the viewers in the live stream, even Wen Yan herself was surprised.
As we all know, in the previous season, Yin Haoyu was Min Xiaxia's "simp," and he would basically be wherever Min Xiaxia was.
Min Xiaxia and Wen Yan had a conflict.
At the end of the first season, Yin Haoyu clearly stated that if the second season adopted a team format, he would choose to be with Min Xiaxia.
Now that Min Xiaxia has withdrawn, unexpectedly, he chose Wen Yan from the remaining three white balls.
The way Shen Jingchuan looked at him at the scene was enough to kill him.
In fact, Shen Jingchuan was already very unhappy after he discovered that he and Wen Yan had both received the white ball.
Damn it, the reason he agreed to come on the show was to team up with Wen Yan and provide her with support, and this is what he got? Get lost!
Shen Jingchuan almost crushed the white ball in his hand.
The comments section erupted with discussion.
"I don't quite understand Yin Haoyu. Why didn't he choose Alex or Shen Jinghe? It's not that I look down on women, but in wilderness survival, men have a clear advantage. If I were him, I would choose Alex, who has stronger overall abilities, given his outstanding performance in the previous season."
'Because my brother is a gentleman, is it wrong for him to want to take care of Wen Yan?'
'Ha, a gentleman? That's laughable. Last season, he was so biased towards Min Xiaxia. Where did his gentlemanly conduct go then? Pah!'
"Stop arguing, stop arguing! This is actually quite good. Working together as a team makes things easier! I hope we can choose each other for the remaining two red balls, then Shen Jinghe and Alex can team up. Honestly, I really can't resist two handsome guys teaming up. If they do, I swear I won't sleep for a month; I'll watch their livestreams every day!"
'Oh, our Hehe, she lost the initiative on her first appearance on this show. Go Hehe!'
However, Shen Jinghe was not in a very good mood at the moment.
He volunteered to participate in this program because of Wen Yan!
After all, this season is in the harsh environment of the snowy mountains, and he was worried that Wen Yan would have a hard time by herself.
He wouldn't have had this worry if Shen Jingchuan were here, but he later received news that Shen Jingchuan didn't plan to participate in the second season, so he took the initiative to contact the production team.
To everyone's surprise, Shen Jingchuan still came in the end.
Moreover, he probably came to protect Wen Yan, just like himself.
The absurd thing is that there were only a few people, and none of the three unlucky guys drew a red ball. In the end, Yin Haoyu actually chose Wen Yan.
Shen Jinghe didn't feel comfortable looking at Yin Haoyu.
He and Min Xiaxia have such a good relationship, I wonder if it will be detrimental to Wen Yan.
But since we've come to this show, we naturally have to abide by its rules.
Shen Jinghe could only keep a straight face and wait to be chosen.
Shen Jingchuan, who was waiting on the side, had an even uglier face than him.
Comments: 'What's going on? Why do I feel like both of these handsome guys are a bit unhappy? Is it because they don't like the color of the ball?'
'I noticed it too! One's aloof and the other's cool and aloof, and they even look so alike! Ahhh, so handsome! I'm going to faint! I'm going to turn off the comments and take a screenshot to use as my screensaver!'
"Hey, wait a minute, wait until the show releases the 4K high-definition version before taking screenshots."
"That won't do. What if the production team doesn't include this clip? Wouldn't I be at a loss?"
'Seriously, doesn't anyone suspect that these two are brothers?'
'How could that be? They don't even share the same surname.'
'Is it possible that they are brothers who were separated at a young age?'
'You've been watching too many family reunion shows.'
Amidst heated discussions among netizens, the third pairing was finalized.
