Most people were just surprised that the production team would invite such a poor person to participate in this challenge, which reportedly had very strict requirements and only twenty spots were available.
They are all people who have some ability in a certain field. At the very least, they are the worst-performing internet celebrities, like Wang Yao, but they all drive sports cars.
Often, a car is a symbol of status. Of the twenty challengers, only half can actually enter the island to participate in the challenge, which means that the other ten groups will focus on one thing: thank you for participating.
Seeing that Li Sheng posed no threat, everyone shifted their attention. Perhaps the production team had made a mistake; with a child in the first round, he would probably be eliminated anyway, so there was no need to worry about him.
By evening of the first day, all the challengers had arrived. Each group was assigned a tent to store everyone's personal belongings. Li Sheng's tent was located on the side, not because he was being treated differently, but because he arrived later. It was a first-come, first-served system, and those who arrived earlier naturally had priority.
Wang Yao, whose intentions were unclear, brought a bottle of expensive red wine into Li Sheng's tent and plopped down in the middle.
"Hey bro, wanna grab a drink?"
Li Sheng frowned. He had a very bad impression of this person, extremely bad. He remembered what the man had done to him before, but he didn't intend to make a fuss. However, this man's rudeness in sitting in his tent without greeting him when they were not familiar with each other made him uncomfortable, especially since it was a bottle of fake wine.
He dislikes people with blurred boundaries.
He politely declined, saying, "I'm sorry, I don't drink. It's getting late, I need to rest, and I have to get up early tomorrow."
Wang Yao paused, holding the wine. This poor bastard who didn't know its value, didn't he see the ten-thousand-yuan bottle of red wine in his hand? It was an honor to be offered a sip, yet he didn't appreciate it at all.
But he had to endure it. As the saying goes, flowers need green leaves, and he needed someone to complement him. Before he came, he had no idea that so many big names would come, let alone that there would be an elimination round. Those people all used their status to ignore him.
If you can't build connections, then you have to find a way to boost your popularity. Among everyone present, Li Sheng is the most lackluster. Only by being close to him and appearing in the same topic can you highlight your excellence and gain more fans.
Wang Yao tapped the red wine with his knuckles. "This wine is from the Château de la Champagne in Languedoc, France. Although it's only 10,000 yuan, which isn't very expensive, it's definitely a good wine."
In reality, he bought it from a wine dealer who claimed to have special channels. It only cost him 5,000 yuan. He also bought several bottles of wine at home that originally cost tens of thousands of yuan for only half the price.
The little girl yawned, hugged her baby bottle, and drank milk, rubbing herself vigorously. Her dad said that eating and sleeping more would help her grow taller. She was so sleepy now. This uncle was really annoying.
She even offered her father fake alcohol. I really don't know if she did it on purpose. Drinking fake alcohol is bad for your health, and she wouldn't allow her father to drink it.
"Uncle, only wines with barcodes starting with 3 are genuine French imports. This bottle has a barcode starting with 6, which means it's domestically made. Also, GB/T means it's a wine blended with alcohol. So, Uncle, do you understand what that means?"
"If you don't understand, let me explain it clearly: be careful when drinking alcohol, as counterfeit alcohol is harmful to your health."
How could his wine be fake? Nonsense, you ignorant poor bastard.
A mere immature girl dared to show off in front of him, and his face instantly turned bright red.
But then he suddenly realized that when he used his 100,000 yuan worth of red wine to treat those big shots, they just smiled and didn't say anything, or they refused him.
He had already unknowingly lost face, but he didn't want to lose face in front of these two poor guys. Otherwise, how could he face people in the industry if word got out? Even if it was fake, it had to be true.
"Little sister, don't talk nonsense with your eyes closed. This wine is all in French, do you even understand it?"
Nai Tuan couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then read the French on the label aloud, translating it again in case Wang Yao wouldn't understand.
"Uncle! If you're not smart, you should study more. Also, according to the food safety law of the South, imported red wine must have Chinese labels and Chinese instructions. Otherwise, it's considered smuggling. That means you were stingy and bought it from a private wine dealer and got cheated. If you're stingy, don't treat people to fake goods. That's shameful."
Wang Yao was rendered speechless, unable to refute what he was being told. He was caught between picking up the wine in his hand and putting it down, and what he was holding was clearly a piece of burning coal rather than wine.
Li Sheng intervened in time, giving Wang Yao a way out. He didn't want to waste his energy on a conflict with a challenger. His main goal was to survive on the island.
"Liquor vendors are experienced; it's normal that no one can tell the difference between these kinds of drinks. I drove my van for two days to get here because I was really exhausted. I also have a child with me, so it's not convenient for me to drink. Staying up too late is bad for the child's growth. I'm really sorry."
Wang Yao forced a dry laugh and said, "It's nothing! I was just tricked by accident. I'll treat you to a drink next time. I have a bottle of this that costs 100,000 yuan a bottle that I treasure at home. It's nothing. I'm going to rest now. See you tomorrow."
Li Sheng smiled and nodded, watching Wang Yao leave: "No need to see me off."
Stepping out of the tent, Wang Yao looked gloomy. Back in his own place, he was humiliated by two poor people. Even if it was fake alcohol, it was something they couldn't afford.
Wang Yao wanted to smash the wine, but then he thought that since he had spent so much money, he might as well keep it to pick up girls. Taking a red wine bath with a beautiful woman wouldn't be bad either.
Since entering this venue, it doesn't feel like a live broadcast location at all, because I didn't see any photographers or cameras the whole time. But in fact, from the moment I stepped in, every move I made was being filmed. There are miniature cameras everywhere, hidden in unexpected places.
The interactions between these challengers will be edited and immediately broadcast.
It's not surprising that an adult has some knowledge of red wine and the ability to distinguish between genuine and fake products, but it's remarkable that a three-year-old child possesses such knowledge, making even adults feel ashamed.
This segment was successfully edited in and will be broadcast on various platforms as a promotional video the following day.
On the second day, the assembly whistle blew, and a special vehicle took all the challengers to the first arena. Once everyone was present, the opening was straightforward and concise. The host was a very mature and sophisticated woman, and the wilderness survival expert was a foreigner with a buzz cut.
"Hello viewers and challengers, I am Ouyang Huayu, the host of the island survival live broadcast program."
"I am the Backbone Grandpa."
Back-carrying Master is very well-known in this circle and is admired by many people at home and abroad. The tagline created by netizens for him is "He can eat even if you turn your head off," which is quite an explosive existence.
After a brief introduction, the competition began, and live streams of each group of challengers were also launched, with brief information about all the challengers popping up in the main broadcast room.
The challengers' live stream also displayed the corresponding tags for each of these individuals.
