Chapter 7 Tropical Rainforest 07



The prophecy of the "era of laziness" is coming true day by day.

It is manifested in the declining physical fitness of human beings, the increasingly indifferent interpersonal communication, the marriage and birth rate reaching a historical low, etc., and the federal government is not unaware of these.

In the first half of this year, the federal government issued a new initiative, calling on federal citizens to go outdoors.

Almost at the same time, a large-scale competition variety show "Back to Earth" with the theme of wilderness survival came into being.

It is quite clever that the producers chose the Earth as the venue for the competition.

On the one hand, the Earth has been uninhabited for thousands of years, and the environment has degraded to its most primitive state, which fits the theme of "survival in the wilderness"; on the other hand, the trend of retro has intensified in recent years, and the people of the Federation are extremely curious about the most primitive state of human survival. If you want to know this, what better way is there than to "return to Earth"?

The combination of the two hits the pain points of the market.

This is a field that no one has ever set foot in. No one knows how far the variety show "Back to Earth" can go, but the program's foundation of responding to the government's call has always determined its infinite upper limit early on.

Jiang Ran’s agency certainly noticed this as well.

If we can get on the bandwagon of the federal government, the resources we can strive for in the future will be at least one level higher, and we may even have the hope of being nominated as this year's outstanding film and television company!

"If you can take first place in the main competition, not only will the company not pursue your breach of contract liability, they'll even revise your contract and give you a more generous commission and better resources."

When Jiang Ran woke up early the next morning, this sentence automatically popped up in his mind.

The profit sharing ratio and high-quality resources didn't matter to her, but the redrafting of the contract was what really moved her.

First place...you better keep up the good work!

Of course, not everything can be brought into the competition. If everyone brought their space button with them, they could create a new home in the rainforest. I'm afraid no one would be eliminated from this competition.

Jiang Ran got first place in the quiz yesterday, so of course the supplies he could get should be the best.

Bathed in the envious gazes of the contestants, Jiang Ran took her supply bag from the host.

"Congratulations."

"Thanks."

As soon as they returned to the camp, Fu Bo rushed over and asked, "What did you get? Let me see!"

Jiang Ran calmly pushed him away: "The production team does not allow communication or exchange of supplies before the game. Please keep some distance from me."

Fu Bo stared at her bag intently. "You said yesterday that we were teammates. What's there to hide between teammates?"

Jiang Ran smiled and said, "I'm talking about when we're in the wild. Aren't we still in the rainforest?"

Fu Bo: “…”

Fu Bo: “Haha!”

He knew Jiang Ran was a big liar!

After getting rid of Fu Bo, Jiang Ran immediately found a hidden place, opened the package and took a closer look, and found that there were five things inside.

She was so eager to win that she immediately and excitedly took out the items in the package one by one, thinking that she would have to study them carefully before entering the competition venue.

However--

The first thing is that I don’t know him.

The second thing is that I don’t know him.

The fifth one, okay, I still don’t know it.

Jiang Ran almost thought he was being fooled.

This is the so-called top-tier supply pack! What the heck is in it!?

Is she really going to compete with these things? What's the difference between that and entering the arena with bare hands?

“Whoa—”

A loud whistle sounded, and it was time for the game to begin.

Jiang Ran didn't have time to lose her temper no matter how shocked or angry she was. She quickly stuffed the supplies into her bag and rushed to the entrance of the rainforest.

Before walking into the crowd, Jiang Ran saw Fu Bo first.

Just as I was about to say hello, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Fu Bo casually stuffing a Swiss Army knife back into his backpack.

Jiang Ran's eyes lit up instantly: "!"

That is the Swiss Army knife, a must-have all-purpose item for survival in the wild!

If I had known this would happen, why did I take the exam so seriously yesterday? It would have been much better to just take advantage of the situation and get a low score!

It’s a pity that Fu Bo didn’t know what she was thinking, otherwise he would be furious now.

In his mind, what good could such a small knife do? Forget self-defense. He had to be careful not to stab himself first.

Therefore, when Fu Bo found that Jiang Ran was staring at his supply bag with burning eyes, he did not think that she was envious and jealous. He just felt that she was humiliating him again because he was the last one and could not even get a good supply bag.

I became even angrier for a moment.

"Please keep some distance from me!" Fu Bo replied angrily.

"Okay..." Jiang Ran hesitated and stepped back a few centimeters, his eyes still fixed on his package.

After seeing the Swiss Army knife that Fu Bo was assigned, Jiang Ran finally figured it out.

The production team didn't consider the actual conditions of the contestants when distributing supplies, but instead classified them according to whether the supplies were "high-end." So the supplies she received might actually be very powerful and functional, but simply not suitable for her, an "old human."

But the reality is already set, how should we solve this problem now?

The competition is about to begin, and the optical computer has been confiscated. There is no way to search for information on the Star Network. So should I ask someone?

Jiang Ran glanced at Fu Bo, then quietly rejected this idea——

She didn't know how "advanced" her supplies were. If those things were extremely common and familiar to interstellar humans, but she knew nothing about them, and she rushed to ask about them, it would easily expose her identity. If someone tried to find out more, things would be troublesome.

But if I don’t ask someone, what else can I do?

Jiang Ran observed the players around him for a while, thought for a long time, and finally came up with a good idea.

"Back to Earth" officially begins!

As the contestants entered the Amazon rainforest one by one according to their quiz rankings, the live broadcast room became more and more lively.

[Cry, my entire salary this year was taken away by Jiang Ran TAT]

[Who said yesterday that Jiang Ran would definitely come in last in practice? Come out and I promise I won't beat you to death!]

[But I didn't lie... Jiang Ran had that same shitty performance on variety shows before. I even posted the video link, and you saw it with your own eyes!]

[So the question is, was Jiang Ran pretending to be crazy and stupid to establish his persona, or is he secretly cheating now and getting the test questions in advance to practice?]

"That's true... but I don't think her annoying demeanor was fake. But there's no point in cheating on a quiz now. The main competition is all rain forest."

【+1 Agree with the above】

[+10086 But I still want to know what's going on]

[Jiang Ran, the unsolved mystery of the entertainment industry]

【……】

[Wait! Stop chatting! Watch the live broadcast!!!]

[Calm down, calm down. What happened? Why are you so anxious?]

[What is Jiang Ran doing? With such a good advantage, why doesn't she go to the safe zone at the water source?]

[She seems to be hiding near the entrance? What is she planning to do?]

【……】

【Oh my god, god, god, god!!!】

【Play big! Exciting!】

[Wait! I don't understand. What exactly is Jiang Ran doing? ]

【This is incredible, you don’t even understand this? 】

[Come on, class representative here, let me explain to everyone, Jiang Ran is going to directly snipe the other contestants!]

【!!! 】

I was too narrow-minded. I thought wilderness survival was all about battling the wild environment. I didn't realize that killing other players and surviving yourself could also be considered wilderness survival.

Just as the live broadcast room was in chaos and all the viewers were shocked by Jiang Ran's actions, the contestants behind him began to enter one after another.

At this time, they still didn't know...

I have become the prey.

The author has something to say:

Fu Bo: Is this the teammate you were talking about?
