Chapter 288 A Passerby in the World of Professional Challenges (8)



This body could only handle one cup. After drinking it, she felt a little flushed and tipsy. After resting and waiting for the effects of the alcohol to wear off, Jiang Yue started cleaning up the mess from cooking. She used all the tableware she had brought today. When she was using water, Jiang Yue felt a pang of regret. This guy was so wasteful. He should have used the water for a bath instead.

The main reason is that Jiang Yue doesn't want to cheat. Otherwise, she could have stayed in the space with all the resources until she died. She doesn't want to break the rules of fair and just competition. She also takes the health-strengthening pills because her body itself has problems. Otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have died suddenly. If she doesn't take them, Jiang Yue is afraid of overworking herself to death. That's a situation she has no choice but to accept.

After dinner, I took a shower. The seawater had warmed up during the day, and the hot water wasn't cold either. After showering, I rinsed off with fresh water. The shower water couldn't be reused, so I had to pour it into the sea. After pouring the water out, Jiang Yue returned to her tent. The island keeper's job is to have fifteen days of paid leave every year. I don't know if Jiang Yue, the challenger, will get that. Logically speaking, she should get one or two days. I'll wait for the production team to ask her.

This island would be perfect if it had fresh water, but unfortunately there isn't any. Luckily, I collected a lot of rainwater to wash clothes. After finishing up a bunch of things, it was time to sleep. As usual, I put the filming equipment outside the tent, adjusted the shooting angle, said goodnight to everyone, and went to bed.

The next morning, just like before, after breakfast, she patrolled around. The weather was particularly nice and hot during the day, and Jiang Yue was too lazy to move, so she lay in the tent all morning. In the afternoon, after the tide went out, Jiang Yue prepared to go beachcombing. After eating oysters and mussels for several days, she planned to change things up and get some spicy snails or sesame snails.

"The guys have been eating oysters and mussels for days, so today we're going to try something different and look for some snails. We'll see if we can find anything unusual. Buckets and shovels are ready, let's go!"

"Even if something is delicious, you can't eat it every day, right? I remember there are some spicy snails here. Let me look... Here I am, one spicy snail, the size is not bad, I'll take it!"

"What kind of snail is this? I've never seen it before and don't recognize it. Brothers, it's best not to eat things you haven't seen before. Our situation isn't that dangerous yet. Hey, there's a spicy snail here, we can buy it!"

"I saw one that was a little bigger, and here's another one, and this one is even bigger!"

"Little crabs, these are too small to eat, but look how many there are in these crevices! We shouldn't throw away the small ones, there are plenty in these rock crevices, you can grab a handful."

"These two mussels are as big as my palm. Hmm, this is a bit tricky. Let me get my little shovel. Okay, everyone, take a look, shall we start?"

After finishing her work, it got dark again. Back on the platform, Jiang Yue pulled up two crab traps. The first trap had four crabs, and the second trap also had four, but two of them were smaller. With six crabs in two traps, it was a bit too much for them to eat, so Jiang Yue picked out the two smaller ones and threw them back.

After setting up the crab cages, I went back to cook. There was plenty of seafood and I wasn't very hungry, so I didn't make any staple food. The seafood I received today is easy to cook; it just needs to be steamed.

"Guys, are you sure you're okay? Eating this much tonight, are you going to get gout tomorrow?!"

As usual, I put on a mukbang for everyone, and the next few days were the same as the previous days, with the same routine every day.

Half a month has passed since we arrived on the island. Today is the day the production team delivers supplies. Before coming, I contacted Jiang Yue via satellite phone, and she told me what we needed.

Leaving aside the normal supplies, she mainly asked them to buy her two sets of clothes. She hadn't brought enough clothes to the island this time, and with the continuous rain, she didn't have any clothes to change into. She also bought a lot of vegetables, as this guy couldn't stand eating seafood for half a month. She asked a senior and bought some potatoes, onions, and other vegetables that can be stored for a long time, as well as enough leafy greens for a few days. He said that the supplies could be stored there.

Because the people delivering supplies wouldn't arrive until noon, they would patrol the area first in the morning. Jiang Yue was quite excited and got up early today, coming down from the mountain at seven o'clock. She wasn't planning on eating, but then thought she'd just make something simple: some porridge with pickled vegetables to tide her over.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Yue didn't want to move. The weather was starting to get hot, and the tent could block out the sun. When she had free time, Jiang Yue chose a spot to install a hammock. She originally wanted to buy a lounge chair, but after thinking about it, she decided to get a hammock instead. Lounge chairs were hard to move around and could easily be swept away by the waves in windy weather.

At 1 p.m., Jiang Yue saw the ship arrive. It must be the supply ship for the production crew. Jiang Yue guessed correctly. However, the real island keeper also came along: "Brother Zhang? Why are you here too? Weren't you supposed to be going on vacation with your wife?"

"Hehe, thanks to you, we've already had a trip and are back. We left the kids at our hometown and are planning to travel abroad. We came to the island today to help you move some things and see if there's anything you don't understand."

Jiang Yue rolled her eyes: "Brother Zhang, I think you're here to confirm how many more days I can hold out, and you're really worried about delaying your trip, right? What's there to misunderstand? This island is such a tiny place."

"Oh, not at all~, just asking while I was at it."

"Don't worry, go out and have fun. I'm sure I can make it through these three months."

"Alright, with you saying that, I'll do the job for you. The production team seems to need to talk to you. I'll help you move your things, you can go find them."

"Thanks, Brother Zhang. I'll go ask what's wrong."

After watching Jiang Yue and Brother Zhang finish their conversation, the production crew came over and said, "Contestant number 58, this is the upgraded live streaming equipment. We've added a separate screen so you can see the live stream."

"What? This feature was just added? Will we be able to see the comments now?"

"No comments."

"What can you do with just a screen? Hurry up and get the bullet screen feature working, so I can chat with other people."

"I have noted down your feedback and will forward it to the technical department. Do you have any further questions?"

"That's all, I'm going to move my things. By the way, do I have any vacation time during these three months? Could you ask me when I get back?"

"I'm not sure about that either. I'll ask the director when I get back, and then I'll contact you via satellite phone, or I can tell you next time I deliver supplies."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After saying that, Jiang Yue went to move things. Brother Zhang had already started working hard. Jiang Yue first took down the hammock, then took out some vegetables and put them together with the ones Brother Zhang had left. She picked up a bag of onions and carried it, and also picked up a bag of snacks. These things were enough to eat, since she would be going up the mountain every day anyway, and leaving them behind risked them being swept away by the waves.
