The host reluctantly added this relatively difficult profession, which was a task assigned by his superiors and also an experiment. Initially, some people suggested that a physically strong male should be pre-selected, but in order to ensure fairness, the person in charge ultimately chose randomly. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yue, a girl who looked thin, was chosen for this profession.
"Host, I'd like to ask, if I choose to participate in the challenge, can I withdraw after arriving on the island?"
"Yes, you can, but the situation on this island is terrible. The supply ship only goes there once every ten days or so, and if you're unlucky, it might only go once a month. Even if you want to quit, you'll have to wait for the ship to pick you up. If you're lucky, there's a ship every two weeks, and if you're unlucky, it might take about a month."
"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. If we encounter any danger, our production team won't just stand by and watch. We have several rescue helicopters, and in particularly dangerous situations, we can also ask the government and the military for help. But if you simply dislike the poor environment or find it boring, then you'll have to wait for the ship to pass by."
After receiving a positive answer, Jiang Yue answered the phone. As soon as the call connected, her parents' voices came through: "Yue'er, this job is too dangerous. Why don't you give it up?"
"Yeah, yeah, listen to your mom, we're not participating."
The audience members who remained also tried to persuade Jiang Yue:
"Yue'er, listen to your brother, this isn't suitable for us. Why don't you come work at our company? I have a referral spot that I'll give you for free."
"The old pervert upstairs has been identified!"
“Your parents are right. There’s absolutely no need to take on this career. You won’t learn anything useful from it. Hardship education isn’t popular anymore.”
Jiang Yue coughed lightly, and her parents stopped trying to persuade her: "Mom and Dad, you've been watching all along. This job isn't actually that dangerous. The main problem is loneliness and supplies. I'll just bring more food. There's no shortage of seafood on the island. Even if I fail the challenge, it's just a bit of hardship. If I'm unlucky, I'll be back in a month."
“What job doesn’t involve hardship these days? Dad worked in a coal mine when he was young. How could this be more dangerous than his job? I’ll bring two extra boxes of instant noodles and sausages. That’ll be enough. If I buy some dried noodles and pickled vegetables, it’ll last me a month. Isn’t that easy?”
"I'm not willing to give up without even trying. Mom and Dad, please let me give it a try. Maybe I'll get lucky and come back in ten days or half a month."
After persuading her parents, Jiang Yue signed an agreement with the production team. After packing her things, Jiang Yue was to go to the city closest to the island, and then take a boat to the island. Once on the island, the challenge would officially begin. She took an overnight train and arrived at her destination early the next morning. Then she went to the island to purchase the necessary supplies.
For safety reasons, Jiang Yue was accompanied by her predecessor, the island keeper. He treated Jiang Yue exceptionally well, sharing all his knowledge without reservation, because the longer Jiang Yue persisted, the more days of vacation he could take.
"Haha, this guy is probably more anxious than contestant number 58 himself. Judging from his attitude, he hopes that number 58 will stay for life."
"[Laughing while covering face] Everyone noticed, but did you also notice that contestant number 58 is quite something? His seniors didn't have any objections to the things he bought, which means he did his homework beforehand. Maybe he can really stick with it!"
"It should have been contestant number 58's own decision, otherwise why would we have invited his seniors? The production team never favors contestants."
Jiang Yue looked at the things she had bought: solar panels and an outdoor power supply from the shop owner. Although there was no internet there, she had a lot of dramas stored on her phone, enough to watch for several months. Then there was food: three boxes of instant noodles, three bundles of dried noodles, a box of ham sausages, a box of chicken legs, some pickled vegetables and sauces, snacks and bread, some eggs, flour, a bag of rice, some vegetables, oil and seasonings, just in case she could make dumplings.
Aside from food, the only other thing to bring is water. One downside of this island is the lack of fresh water. I brought enough water for a month and a half, and if I'm careful, it could last for two months. In addition to food and water, I also brought a tent, a sleeping bag, and a life jacket. There are a lot of mosquitoes on the island, so I also brought a box of mosquito repellent, a portable stove, a pot, and several boxes of gas canisters for cooking.
After purchasing the items, the production team put Jiang Yue on the ship. The weather was nice and the sea was calm, making it suitable for sailing. After three hours of sailing, they arrived at their destination. At this point, the filming equipment they were carrying was also started. Because of Jiang Yue's delay, there were very few people in the live broadcast room, and apart from those who were genuinely interested in the profession, no one came in.
As they approached the island, Jiang Yue pointed to it and began introducing it to her viewers: "Hello everyone in the live stream, this is the place we're going to challenge. It's said that this island is very rich in resources, with more fish and crabs than you can eat. Will I be able to complete my professional challenge here? Let's wait and see."
This pre-competition speech was instructed by the production team to be said, and it signifies the official start of the challenge. Because Jiang Yue had just started her challenge, this speech was played a little late, and since she was the last to start, many people didn't know that someone hadn't even begun the challenge yet, which also served as a form of advertising for her.
"Thanks for the invitation, I just got off the plane in the US... Wait, where did this come from? What kind of amazing person is this? Everyone else has been working for two days, and you're only just starting?"
"Where am I? Is this an island keeper job? There's such a job?"
"This island looks familiar. It seems to be from our area. We're already on the border, almost out of the inland sea, right?"
She can't see what's being said in the live stream, and there's no such function. Unless she can connect to the internet and watch it herself, the contestants' camera equipment doesn't have this function. Jiang Yue's personal camera device is as stupid as an artificial intelligence; she has to manually direct where to film.
"We're almost there, brothers. It's a tiny deserted island. We're finally here. We're about to land."
Upon arriving at the island, the crew members who brought Jiang Yue helped her unload the supplies and left without saying a word to her. Jiang Yue looked at the island in front of her and gestured to the camera to film the island's conditions: "A house and a platform, you can fish in front, and you can go beachcombing over here."
"There's a mountain up there. I'll go up and take a look this afternoon."
"Look here, there's a big iron pot. This is where the previous senior cooked while looking out over the sea. I've already told him that we can borrow it temporarily in case of an emergency."
Jiang Yue wandered around the platform for a while, then looked around the area near the platform. She grabbed the camera and filmed the area below: "I've found a treasure, brothers! Look what I found! There's food everywhere, seafood everywhere! Look at these oysters and mussels, they're quite big."
"Look at this platform, it's even bigger here. This one is quite big, hehe, we've really struck gold this time. Once we're settled, we'll have a seafood buffet. Look at this one! This one is huge, it must be very fat, it's completely wild."
