Chapter 45



The fourth episode of Wilderness Survival, Snow Mountain Survival, has become extremely popular thanks to the scandal between Li Changsi and Bai Zhuo.

After a night of fermentation, the heat of the scandal has increased instead of decreased. The fans of the only couple and the CP on major platforms are fighting each other fiercely, while the passers-by fans are watching from the sidelines, and Li Changsi's fans are trembling with fear.

As soon as the scandal broke, the fan club issued an urgent notice, urging them to stay out of the fray, refrain from interfering, and refrain from defending themselves. The fans had watched Li Changsi's journey unfold, from a love-struck, obscure online celebrity to a revered survival queen. This journey, spanning a hundred thousand years, was essentially built on Li Changsi's life-threatening efforts to build her reputation.

The female geese had such a hard time, they couldn't fall behind, so the little red beans all lay low, waiting for an official clarification.

As soon as the Wilderness Survival livestream opened, fans swarmed the room, nearly turning it into a PowerPoint presentation. The girlfriend and couple fans, who had been clashing fiercely on various platforms, strangely stopped fighting in the livestream. Everyone was chatting about safe topics.

——I heard that all the staff of the program were replaced. The previous director went to shoot a children's program. The live broadcast room was opened so early that I was embarrassed to check the official Weibo.

——Pineapple TV finally behaved like a human being. I hope the female goose in this episode is safe. I have PTSD about this show.

——To be honest, although the guests in each episode are given a death scenario, the final result is always good. Recently, foreign websites have been hotly discussing our survival variety show. If you can discover ancient ruins and underwater treasures by recording a variety show, hahahaha, I guess all countries want to do this.

——Hahahaha, nothing wrong. I’m looking forward to this episode. I wonder what kind of surprises the female goose will bring us.

——The surprise arrived yesterday. Li Changsi defeated a national player of the ninth dan rank. The Internet went wild. Now chess players from all over the world are studying the chess moves of the female goose. She is destined to be a dark horse in next year's international competitions.

——Ahhh, as a new fan, I really want to say, I’m so happy to be a fan of Li Changsi. I moved up 30 places in this midterm exam, and the whole grade moved up 80 places. My parents were so excited that they cried.

——What a coincidence, sister, my academic scores have improved by 50 points. This year, I will take the art exam with you. I wonder if we will meet by chance.

——Is Nv’e going to take the exam next month? Time flies so fast. I hope this variety show will never end. I want to grow up with Nv’e and become a better self.

The barrage in the live broadcast room almost turned into Li Changsi's personal super. The black fans, Bai Zhuo's CP fans, and girlfriend fans waited for a long time but had no reason to quarrel. Finally, a discordant voice emerged in the barrage.

——Li Changsi’s fans want to lick back your super topic. They have been sucking my brother’s blood since their debut. Now they have washed themselves away to look pure and innocent. Isn’t it disgusting? I don’t know how they are secretly trying to seduce our brother.

The comments were filled with question marks, and the fans were like they were holding onto a pile of straw. Wasn't your brother the one who rushed to send his daughter home? He beat himself up, and his fans are still here to clean up the mess?! Is there something wrong with him?

- Fans, stop trying to deceive me. Check out the gossip posted on a certain forum. Your brother turned down two endorsements and an event to compete in the Go ranking tournament as a team coach. Who's hooking up with who?

The barrage instantly became noisy.

Fans of other shows are all watching the show secretly, waiting for the real protagonist to appear. Oh, I feel that this episode of the variety show is worth watching, I just regret that it is not a dating show.

Li Changsi was the last one to arrive. It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when the plane landed. She had packed her luggage in the morning, and Lu Qi had lunch with her before letting her go. This delay directly caused the flight to be changed.

As soon as she got off the plane, her phone kept beeping. In addition to the guests on the wilderness survival variety show, Qi Ce and Zheng Han also sent her messages. After the successful completion of "The Solo Girl", Zheng Han and the people behind the scenes worked overtime to produce it and sent it for online review, which has been successfully passed.

The speed was like riding a rocket, and Zheng Han himself couldn't believe it. Moreover, due to Li Changsi's super high popularity, the exclusive broadcasting rights of "The Solo Dance Girl" were snatched away by three major platforms, and finally signed to the video platform with the largest traffic at a high price.

He had previously worried that his hard work would be sold at a low price, but now, with a sudden turn of events, he suddenly felt that the salary he offered Li Changsi was too low. However, he was really poor. He even sold his house to raise money for "Dancing Solo Girl" and now he can hardly pay the rent. He hopes this work can turn things around.

Zheng Han: Changsi, "The Solo Dancer" has been successfully scheduled to be broadcast on Polar Bear Channel in three days. I would be very grateful if you could do a live broadcast and promotion on the day of the broadcast.

Qi Ce: Changsi, the web drama starring us is about to be broadcast, I am looking forward to it.

It will be broadcast so soon? Li Changsi was a little surprised, and then replied to Zheng Han: OK, no problem.

This web drama is a female-led drama and is a suspense drama. The emotional line between the male and female protagonists is very obscure, and the ending is full of twists and turns, so it is basically impossible to ship the two. On the day of the premiere, she and Qi Ce had a live broadcast to promote it.

Zheng Han sent a message of thanks.

Su Xia went to get the suitcase, and Li Changsi found the meeting place of the program crew. She saw that the other guests had arrived and were gathered in groups of three or four to chat. When they saw her, they all surrounded her enthusiastically.

Tian Ye: "Changsi, you've been so popular lately. From yesterday to today, you've been trending on the search list. Just now, the release date of your new drama was also on the trending search list. You're so popular."

Song Xingyue: "What a coincidence, Changsi, I also have a new drama coming up soon."

Song Xingyue was talking about the urban idol drama she starred in with Bai Zhuo, The Movie King's Secret Lover. This was also her first drama with Bai Zhuo. All major platforms are marketing it now, and if nothing unexpected happens, it's bound to be a hit. Moreover, the agencies of both parties had already agreed to hype up the CP when the drama airs, and to bundle them together for half a year.

This will make the drama more popular. Although Li Changsi is very popular now, she is filming a low-budget web drama, and it coincides with her drama with Bai Zhuo, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to make a splash.

Lin Lu smiled deeply, "Sister, I'll help you promote it when the time comes. Come on."

Bai Zhuo also came over: "I'll also promote you when the time comes."

Everyone had a look of surprise on their faces. What the hell, Zhuo Ge’s affectionate personality remains unshaken. Is he going to fight to the death? Li Changsi clearly said in the group that she has a good relationship with her boyfriend outside the circle and they haven’t broken up!

Li Changsi narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

In the live broadcast room, Bai Zhuo's fans were so angry that they cried. "Brother, this is such a disappointment! Why is he promoting Li Changsi's new drama? Why is he trying so hard to please someone who doesn't like him?"

——Li Changsi is so ungrateful. Brother Zhuo helped her promote her new drama, but she didn’t even say thank you and had a cold face. Does she have any opinion about my Brother Zhuo?

——It’s so funny. Some girlfriends are so dramatic. You are the one who said that the girl hooked up with your brother, and you are the one who said that the girl was cold to your brother. It would be a pity if you didn’t apply to the film academy.

——At this time, there is nothing wrong with Li Changsi’s reaction. He should indeed avoid suspicion, otherwise the scandal would be confirmed, right?

——The girl is devoted to her career and refuses any CP binding. Thank you.

The main character came out to slap the fans in the face, and all the fans of Bai Zhuo were wilted, while the little red beans were all erected. Aw, the female goose is so high! The barrage was harmonious.

"Everyone, we're ready to go. Let's go to the B&B that the production team has rented. Then, everyone, get some rest tonight. We'll officially start filming tomorrow. We'll announce the wilderness survival rules for this episode in the car."

The person who took over was female director Xiang Li, who was smart and capable. She took on this hot potato under tremendous pressure.

Everyone got on the program crew's shuttle bus and headed to the B&B.

"Welcome everyone to the fourth episode of the variety show, Snow Mountain Survival. This episode will be recorded in a competition format. Eight guests will be drawn into two teams. They will carry a snow mountain map and complete knowledge quizzes along the way. They will go to designated locations to obtain supplies. Each item obtained will earn 10 points. Wild supplies found in the snow will also be counted towards the points. Wild supplies are divided into three tiers based on their scarcity, with additional points of 10, 20, and 30 points respectively.

The additional points for wild supplies will be decided by the program team through discussion.

The team with the most points wins and will receive the mysterious grand prize sponsored by our fourth round."

The wilderness survival variety show is looking for top stars. To put it bluntly, it is an extreme environment reality show. Li Changsi had the most outstanding performance in the first three episodes. For the fourth episode, for safety reasons, the program team checked all the conditions of the snow-capped mountains in advance and chose scenic spots to prevent various kidnapping and hijacking incidents. In addition, a knowledge quiz session was added, which effectively increased the appeal of the variety show.

The guests all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the rules for episode four. Even if they couldn't find any wild food in the snowy mountains, they could still survive by relying on the program team's guaranteed supplies. Climbing the snowy mountains would be another tough battle.

It's just that the ZhiQiA challenge is very unfriendly to poor students. Among the guests, Tian Ye, the poor student representative, wanted to cry.

Bai Zhuo’s fans in the live broadcast room became excited again.

——This episode also includes a knowledge quiz. Isn’t this giving my brother Zhuo some points? Looking forward to it!

——Hahaha, I won’t tell you who has the lowest academic qualifications, but now someone’s true colors are about to be revealed.

In other words, this episode's test of the guests' physical strength is secondary, and their intelligence is paramount? If they fail the quiz, won't they be barred from the next round? The showrunners are truly ruthless!

——I hope my brother won’t team up with Li Changsi. I’m begging for a good fortune, a good fortune.

——It seems that the draw this time is of utmost importance. If you draw a teammate who cheats, the game will be over immediately!

Fans were discussing the matter, hoping that their idols could draw good teammates. The most popular ones were Bai Zhuo, who graduated from an Ivy League school, and Song Xingyue, who graduated from a prestigious university. As for Xuan Yiyi, Tian Ye, and Li Changsi, they were unfortunately cast as the drag trio.

The director took out the opaque lottery box that he had prepared in advance: "There are four colors of balls in the box. Guests who draw the same color will be automatically divided into a group."

There was no trickery or insider information involved in the draw, it was all based on luck. The guests and fans were relieved.

The new program team is really on point.

The guests looked at each other, and Tian Ye, the funny man, was the first to step forward to draw the lot and drew a purple ball.

The second one is Lin Lushen, the red balloon.

The third one is Rongshu, a red balloon.

The first team was formed, Lin Lushen and Rong Shu! Fans cried out "Wow!", these two musical geniuses met, and they couldn't even complement each other. This episode was a complete mess.

The second team was Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue, who both got the green balls at the same time. The fans in the live broadcast room were as happy as if it were New Year's Day.

——Ah, the strongest team is born, Wuhu takes off!

——This is too bullying, hahahaha, Tian Xiaoye is about to cry, the remaining three are all noobs, it’s just a matter of seeing who is weaker.

——Just a blind guess, if Tian Ye and Li Changsi were drawn into a group, they would basically be the weakest team on earth, hahahaha.

Soon it was Li Changsi's turn to draw the lot, and he drew the purple ball.

Tian Ye couldn't hold it in any longer, holding his head and wailing, "Sister Si, why are two noobs drawn into the same group? Wow, 9 lives, this round is going to be so embarrassing. I hope we can't get through any level."

Li Changsi said slowly: "That might be you."

Everyone in the live broadcast room burst into laughter.

In the end, Meng Xun and Xuan Yiyi were automatically grouped together.

After the draw, the happiest ones were the fans of Bai Zhuo and Song Xingyue, while the fans of Li Changsi just lay back and said that studying is not the strong point of the female goose, so they can just be the runner-up in this issue. They win in every issue, which makes them quite hated.

After the guests arrived at the B&B, they found that the B&B rented by the program team for this episode was picturesque and it was also an Internet celebrity B&B. It was close to the sea and had a small garden. They were all moved by its beauty.

The guests shared a room, two by two, which was much better than the previous large bunk beds or tents. Dinner was a local specialty, finally not roast lamb and compressed biscuits.

The guests were moved to tears.

Tian Ye: To be honest, I think the program crew has a sponsor. The treatment is so much better. I love it.

Xuan Yiyi: The environment of this B&B is just okay.

Meng Xun: The emergency personnel this time were much more professional, and the program crew brought bodyguards. It is reasonable to suspect that the accident in the previous episode scared Pineapple TV.

Song Xingyue: That also requires financial support. I prefer a popular variety show with sponsorship. @朱哥

The richest one here is Bai Zhuo.

Bai Zhuo didn't say a word. He didn't sponsor it, his brother didn't sponsor it either, and God knows who sponsored it. But compared to the makeshift crew that Zhao Ming put together, this episode was indeed impeccable.

Not only the guests, but even the fans felt that the program team had made great progress, and they felt a little uncomfortable if they didn't check the official Weibo for a day.

The program crew started a live broadcast at the B&B, facing the beautiful small garden of the B&B. Xuan Yiyi was sitting on the swing in the small garden and taking selfies excitedly, Song Xingyue was reading the script, Tian Ye and others were laughing and playing like fools, and Li Changsi was doing his homework as usual, but this time it was not English, but mathematics.

She took a look at the math section and realized that the content on the Gaokao was different from what she had learned. It was too easy. Especially in terms of space and logic, which pale in comparison to deduction, math being her strong point.

The question now is whether to take the art specialty or the regular college entrance examination, she wants to take both.

She took the college entrance exam simply to get a diploma, the more the better. The more than a decade of hard study she'd endured in her previous life, covering a vast and complex range of subjects, was enough for her in this life.

After finishing a math test, Li Changsi left his room on the first floor and went to the bar to make tea. He brewed the half-pound spring tea that Lu Qi had given him. The B&B had tea-making utensils, but Li Changsi wasn't used to using other people's tea sets, so he chose to make his own. He chose the top-notch Queshe Spring Tea, the aroma of which could be smelled the moment the can was opened. The moment the boiling water was poured into the cup, the fragrance filled the room.

It's good stuff.

No wonder Su Xia insisted on stuffing it into the suitcase and also stuffed her with other miscellaneous things. She even changed her skin care products to a new set, and still used Lu Qi's black card to pay for them.

It seemed that Lu Qi had no intention of taking that card back.

Li Changsi was sipping the spring tea when she saw Bai Zhuo walk into the bar. His long gray-green coat made him look elegant and refined. Unfortunately, she had seen more sophisticated and refined looks and could not accept his style.

Bai Zhuo came over and made a cup of coffee. He smelled the rich aroma of the coffee, raised his eyes and asked her word by word, "Is there something wrong with me?"

He has family background, looks, power and status, everything a woman loves, so why has Li Changsi remained indifferent?

"Teacher Bai is known to be the dream of hundreds of millions of girls, so naturally everything about him is good." Li Changsi curled his lips in a faint smile, his narrow and charming eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

In terms of appearance, she had seen immortals banished from the mortal world; in terms of family background and power, she had been powerful in the court in her previous life, above everyone else; in terms of character, he was not as good as the man from the Zhongshu Ling family in her previous life. It was not that he was not good, but that she had seen a lot and had stood at a high place in the world, so she was not used to looking down.

Bai Zhuo looked at her charming eyes, her eyelashes like butterfly wings, falling on his heart.

Bai Zhuo: "Then give me a chance. I'm no worse than Lu Qi. After this episode of the variety show, on November 25th, Grandpa wants to treat you to a meal at Lane 49. I hope you won't refuse."

The smile on Li Changsi's lips faded. She really couldn't refuse.

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Bai Zhuo suddenly became suspicious. Li Changsi was a mystery to him. Some people said she was cold, but most of the time she never refused him. Some people said she was playing hard to get, but she only let go and never caught. Her behavior was unpredictable.

Every time he takes a tough stance, Li Changsi will passively accept it. Is she a masochist?

Bai Zhuo seemed to be lost in thought. What if he wanted her to break up with that man?

"That day..." Li Changsi uttered three words from her red lips, and a stabbing pain came from her mind. She turned her tongue and said, "Try your best."

Damn! She wanted to pull out that pretending-to-be-dead female supporting system and have a good chat.

Bai Zhuo smiled: "I'll pick you up then."

Li Changsi returned to the room expressionlessly and called the female supporting system.

"What's the defective product number? Just tell me how you're going to break free from the male protagonist's bondage. Otherwise, we'll all just throw in the towel."

The female supporting character's system, which had been pretending to be dead for years, flickered weakly, proving it wasn't broken yet. "Incomplete system analysis: First, if the cannon fodder female supporting character grows into one of the female protagonists, she will no longer be affected by the male protagonist's bond. The probability is 0.0011789. Second, if the male protagonist loses his identity and becomes a male supporting character, the bond can also be broken. The probability is 0.0023818."

Unexpectedly, the female supporting system would respond to her. Li Changsi narrowed her eyes and continued to ask, "How can I grow into the female lead?"

"Unlock all the paths of the cannon fodder female supporting character, have a complete character arc, unlock a new unknown world map, and gain recognition from the world's will to become the new female protagonist. Probability 0.00001."

Okay, it’s approaching 0 infinitely.

"What does it mean to unlock a new map of the unknown world? Is it to unlock content that is not mentioned in the original book, such as the wealthy line?" Li Changsi narrowed his eyes fiercely.

"Questions beyond authority, system garbled..."

Li Changsi: "..."

It seems she guessed right. In the original novel, the male protagonist Bai Zhuo and the female protagonist Song Xingyue were the two characters who received the most descriptions, with complete character arcs from birth to death, as well as their relationships with the world. Others, like her, were incomplete tools, which is why her memories were always fragmented. Only by unlocking the complete trajectory of their lives could these tools truly become supporting characters, and then gradually counterattack and become indispensable protagonists.

A world can have multiple male and female protagonists!

Then unlock the complete character trajectory and open up new maps.

After finding a way to break free from the male protagonist's shackles, Li Changsi finally slept peacefully.

The next morning, the guests got up, put on thick down jackets, put on their backpacks, and headed for the snow-capped mountains.

The distance between the B&B and the snow-capped mountains is not far, and it only takes an hour to get there by car. The program team gave everyone a map of the snow-capped mountains and equipment, and started recording in groups of two.

Li Changsi took a look at the map. The map only showed the route to the first level. There were thirteen levels in total. Only after passing each level could they reach the next route and supply packages. They had to pass at least two levels and get two supply packages every day before they could reach the top and get the final large supply package.

There are four hiking routes, and each group of guests will not interfere with each other.

Li Changsi and Tian Ye took the climbing route marked by the purple line. All the guests set off and began climbing the snow-capped mountains, searching for supplies while heading towards the checkpoints on the snow-capped mountains.

Fans also squatted in the various live broadcast rooms early, simultaneously spying on their opponents' live broadcast rooms and secretly competing with each other. The fastest action was the group of Tian Ye and Li Changsi.

After an hour of climbing, the two of them were the first to find the first checkpoint. They saw the first supply box airdropped in the snow. When they opened the box, they found the first electronic level of the trivia quiz.

There are ten questions in total, and you can move on if you answer eight correctly.

When Tian Ye got the question and saw it, he was immediately stunned.

——Oh, here they come, it’s time for the knowledge quiz, the top students are out to answer the questions.

——I hope the first level is not difficult.

— I know the three great quintessences of Chinese culture: Peking Opera, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Chinese Painting.

——The six principles of the Book of Songs refer to: Feng, Ya, Song, Fu, Bi, and Xing.

——Oracle bone inscriptions were discovered in: late Qing Dynasty.

Where does cloisonné come from? (Beijing)

——How old are the years of the 19th century and 19th century? (80-100 years old)

——Oh, what kind of questions are these? They are too difficult.

The fans lay down, some of them didn’t even know how to do that, and Sibao and Tian Xiaoye certainly didn’t know how to do that.

In the camera, Tian Ye bit the tip of a pen, looking at Li Changsi innocently, "Sister Si, how about you do it? It's all guesswork anyway."

Oh my god, they should have at least given me multiple-choice questions, but they turned out to be all essay questions.

Li Changsi took the stylus and answered all the questions quickly, and then the electronic level showed 100 points.

Damn! Tian Ye’s mouth is wide open enough to fit a duck egg.

Damn! Full marks! In the live broadcast room, fans sat up in shock, their voices filled with question marks.
