"Congratulations on being selected by our [Wilderness Survival 365] program team as a lucky contestant."
"If you decide to participate in this program, please bring your personal identification to the Shanghai Stadium before 3 PM tomorrow. If you do not wish to participate, please let us know and we can draw other contestants!"
Even if you give up this opportunity, you will still receive a lucky gift package worth 5,000 yuan plus a mystery prize from our program team!
The staff member's sweet voice rang out again.
"Okay, I'll think about it and give you an answer within half an hour." Chen Fan did not agree immediately.
Although he really wanted to agree, he still had to persuade his parents.
This is the least you can do to show respect to your parents!
"Okay, I look forward to your reply! Goodbye!"
The other party hung up the phone.
Chen Jianguo and Zhou Lijuan looked at Chen Fan and could tell that their son really wanted to participate in the show.
This is not only a very easy opportunity to make money, but also an opportunity to showcase yourself in front of the camera.
If I perform well, I might gain a lot of popularity, and then I can make money just by posting a video.
Although they don't have a particularly deep understanding of the internet, they do know that the live streaming and short video industries have sprung up like mushrooms in recent years.
With a bit of popularity and traffic, making money on these platforms is quite easy.
In this way, Chen Fan wouldn't have to work so hard every day...
"Mom and Dad, I... um, can I participate?"
Chen Fan scratched his head, looked up at the two elders, and asked.
"Are you really keen to participate?"
Chen Jianguo asked in a serious tone.
"yes……"
"I really want to participate!"
Chen Fan nodded firmly.
If there were no system, he might have thought about it carefully.
After all, wilderness survival is indeed not easy.
In his own world, even Ed Stafford, the pinnacle of wilderness survival, often faced the predicament of going hungry nine times in three days.
It's easy to imagine how difficult it is for ordinary people to survive in the wilderness.
But now he has a system, and his system is clearly tailor-made for wilderness survival.
It would be such a waste not to participate...
Seeing Chen Fan's firm and confident expression, the two elders exchanged a glance, a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
Chen Fan has always been stubborn, and they can't stop him from doing what he wants to do!
"Alright! Since you want to participate so much, then participate. But you must promise us that if you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you will immediately choose to withdraw."
"Never put yourself in danger."
Chen Jianguo said helplessly.
"I know, Dad!"
"If I encounter any danger, I will immediately choose to withdraw."
Chen Fan nodded quickly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Sigh!" Chen Jianguo could only shake his head helplessly.
Now I just hope the production team can choose a safer place for the survival.
Ideally, a rigorous screening and selection process should be conducted to ensure that the destination is not too dangerous.
Five minutes later, Chen Fan called the production team again and gave his reply.
The production team also told Chen Fan that he didn't need to bring any survival-related items when he went to Shanghai.
All you need is proof of identity!
After eating.
"Xiao Fan, is there anything I can help you prepare?"
"I asked with concern," asked Zhou Lijuan, the mother.
Although she was still unwilling to let her son take the risk.
But as our son grows up, he has his own way of thinking about many things, and we parents can't completely interfere.
"You don't need to prepare anything; the production team will prepare all the survival tools in advance," Chen Fan said with a smile and a shake of his head.
"Dad, Mom, after I win the final prize, I'll go to the big city and buy a big villa. Then we can live the life of the super-rich."
This has always been his goal and aspiration.
In fact, everyone has this original aspiration in their heart!
But many such initial aspirations and goals are ruthlessly stifled on construction sites and in the eternal 996 work schedule!
He didn't have this ability before, but now, God has given him a second chance.
"You little rascal, just make sure you're safe. Your mother and I don't care about those things," Chen Jianguo said with a shake of his head and a smile.
Parents are naturally very happy that their son has such thoughts.
However, they may not necessarily be able to adapt to life in big cities.
Having lived in this small county town for decades, they are very familiar with it; this is their root!
For them, the bustling metropolis really can't compare to this familiar place.
“That’s right, your dad is right. As long as you’re safe and sound, we have no other requests,” Zhou Lijuan quickly chimed in.
...
In the evening, many relatives came over after hearing the news.
More than a dozen relatives, including all the aunts and uncles, came in a large group.
"Lijuan, is Chen Fan, who was selected for the wilderness survival show, really your Xiao Fan?"
"Second brother, congratulations! I knew Xiao Fan was destined for greatness..."
"Xiao Fan, do your best. If you can become famous through this opportunity, we relatives can also benefit from it."
...
Everyone chatted animatedly, each offering their own opinion.
"Jianguo, I really don't know what you two were thinking, actually letting your child participate in such a dangerous program."
"I've heard that there are large carnivores on deserted islands, and it's very dangerous..."
"Xiao Fan, how about we don't go? Your cousin opened a clothing factory recently, you can work there, I'll ask my brother to get you a team leader position!"
This time, it was Chen Fan's uncle, Chen Jianjun, who spoke up, although it sounded like he was considering Chen Fan's best interests.
But Chen Fan knew that this uncle wasn't so kind...
A year later, his son's factory went bankrupt due to mismanagement.
In order to pay back his wages and pay off his debts, he borrowed 30,000 yuan from Chen Jianguo, but he never got it back, even when Chen Jianguo was seriously ill and hospitalized.
That family is inhuman...
Moreover, during this time, because his son opened a factory, he had been making sarcastic remarks to Chen Fan's family quite a bit.
His words were full of praise for his son, while Chen Fan was nothing but a good-for-nothing...
Not all relatives are good; sometimes they are more afraid of you doing well than strangers.
"Thank you for your kind offer, Uncle, but I have no interest in a garment factory!" Chen Fan smiled faintly and shook his head in refusal.
I've never heard him say anything like that before.
Moreover, the thought of what they would do a few years later made Chen Fan grit his teeth in hatred.
It's obvious they're afraid of becoming famous after participating in wilderness survival, so they want to kill that possibility.
"You little rascal, your uncle is doing this for your own good."
"I have to say, you two are really something. The kids are just being silly and you're making a fuss too, without even trying to talk them out of it."
"Can a kid like that really handle wilderness survival?" Chen Jianjun pointed the finger at Chen Jianguo and Zhou Lijuan.
The two were speechless for a moment.
"This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with my parents."
“I’m an adult now, with my own thoughts and the ability to think.” Chen Fan’s expression changed slightly, and his tone turned colder.
There's no need to give such a shameless person a kind look, because he doesn't deserve it!
"Look, look, she hasn't even participated in the show yet, and she's not famous, and she already treats her elders like this?"
"If they were even slightly famous, wouldn't they be unstoppable?"
"Chen Jianguo, is this the good son you raised?" Chen Jianjun was clearly a little fed up with Chen Fan's attitude.
It's mainly because he's envious, jealous, and resentful!
This brat has earned the chance to win a 500 million reward.
This right should belong to his son.
"What does this have to do with my parents? I can respect my elders, but only if they act like elders! Do you deserve it?"
Chen Fan immediately retorted in an icy voice.
People like Chen Jianjun can't stand seeing others doing better than them.
Talk about respect? Does he deserve it?
Unworthy!
"How I raise my son is none of your concern, brother. Just take care of your own family!" Chen Jianguo said in a somewhat cold tone.
Having been brothers for decades, he knows Chen Jianjun better than anyone else what kind of person he is.
Moreover, you can talk about yourself, but you absolutely cannot talk about your son!
This is his bottom line...
"Alright, alright, it's something to be happy about that Xiao Fan got such an opportunity. Isn't the purpose of our visit today to congratulate Xiao Fan? Why make things unpleasant!" At this moment, Aunt Chen Jiaorong quickly smoothed things over.
