Hao Jie couldn't help but mutter and complain, "What's there to brag about? They ate our mushrooms for nothing yesterday!"
"That's right, I think she did it on purpose. She tried to act coy and act cute on the first day, but she failed. So she's not pretending anymore today. Heh, what's so great about her!"
Upholding his image as the "big brother," Qiang Ge decisively got up, ready to have a heart-to-heart talk with Xia Yixin.
In such situations, the cameramen would keep their distance to create a sense of "respect for privacy," but in reality, neither the female director who walked over nor Brother Qiang said the soft words that the live viewers might expect.
"Xia Yixin, what do you mean? Did the production team pay you to cause trouble? You refused to drink the soup yesterday, and now you want to leave the team?"
The female director was incredibly blunt: "We only let you participate in this show because we're working with your agency. Don't think you're something special just because you're a small-time livestreaming influencer. We have plenty of ways to destroy you!"
The female director turned around and saw Brother Qiang, and immediately smiled like a flower, "Brother Qiang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to give me some advice again."
“It’s okay, she’s young and there are some things she doesn’t understand.” Brother Qiang acted like an older brother, but after the female director left, he first looked at the cameraman who was following in the distance.
When his back was to the camera, a sinister smile had appeared on his face.
"Little girl, I advise you not to be stubborn. I made it very clear to you yesterday. If you cooperate with me obediently, I can introduce you to some resources after the show. Look at the other girls in the team, aren't they all very sensible? Think about it carefully tonight. If you continue to act recklessly like this, I can tell you one word and have the production team make you suffer."
Although it's a live broadcast, there's a delay in the broadcast time, and it's perfectly acceptable to lie and claim that a camera malfunctions, allowing the production team to take the person out and "beat them up."
When Qiang met Xia Yixin's cold phoenix eyes, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine for no reason, but then he realized that he was overthinking it. She was just a poor girl with no backing.
"That's all I have to say. Think it over carefully and give me an answer by tomorrow morning." Qiang Ge said, and tried to pat her on the shoulder, but she reacted quickly and dodged.
Qiang Ge snorted heavily, "You don't know what's good for you," and turned to leave. When he returned to the campfire and faced the camera, he had already reverted to his "big brother" persona.
"Don't worry, I talked to her. She's just a young girl being a bit temperamental. We're all a bit older than her, so please be understanding."
Hao Jie immediately flattered, "Brother Qiang is truly magnanimous!"
Brother Qiang brought in 60% of the investment for this program, and he also has a large audience. He is definitely the mastermind behind the show. With just one sentence, he revealed the intentions of the production team.
The post-production team even added some descriptive adjectives like "unsociable" and "temperamental" to Xia Yixin's live stream.
Xia Yixin's side, which already had only a few people, was overrun by Qiang Ge's fans, with the screen filled with critical comments like, "Disgusting! Just because she's pretty doesn't mean she can act like this. She's just a live-streaming influencer, what an immature person!"
Xia Yixin's Weibo, which already had low popularity, was flooded with insults. Only a few people stood up and felt that it was excessive for Qiang Ge and the others to drink sweet potato porridge without asking the other person's question and then criticize them, but these comments were quickly drowned out by other comments.
Correspondingly, she also heard the system notification: "The progress of the 'Comeback to Goddess' mission is -5, currently at 3%! Host, are you sure you're okay with what you're doing?"
"You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; we'll wait and see."
Xia Yixin calmly answered in her mind and put her sleeping bag away from the group of seven.
Not long after I lay down, I could still hear Hao Jie's soft, coquettish voice from the other side.
While the cameraman was filming a distant shot of him sleeping, Qiang took advantage of the situation to grope him again.
However, she didn't wait long before Qiang Ge suddenly exclaimed in surprise from the camp.
"Doctor! Doctor, come quick! Sister Hao has vomited! Come quick... Ugh!" As Qiang Ge spoke, he bent over and vomited himself, a sour and foul smell wafting towards us.
The live stream was filled with wailing.
【Ugh! What am I watching in the middle of the night? It's disgusting!】
[OMG, please let the comments protect you! Calling for the comments to protect you!]
Even Su Yan felt nauseous when she smelled this.
The seven people experienced food poisoning to varying degrees. The most serious cases were Qiang Ge and Hao Jie, who vomited bile and turned pale. Su Yan had the mildest symptoms.
The doctor accompanying the team was actually just a nurse from a small hospital. He gave each of them a packet of saline solution and some Niuhuang Jiedu pills, which finally helped them feel much better.
The production team panicked. The female director immediately realized something, turned to look at Xia Yixin, the only healthy and stable person who was packing her sleeping bag, ran to discuss a few words with the other directors, and then rushed over aggressively.
"Xia Yixin, are you sure those things you dug up this afternoon were sweet potatoes?"
Xia Yixin had a feeling of "Hehe, she really expected it." These people were really desperate. She raised her eyes and looked coldly at the female director, the production crew who came over after hearing the noise, and the seven-person team who were watching from afar.
The production team thought this food poisoning incident was a good topic, so all the cameras were focused on Xia Yixin and the production team.
Xia Yixin's gaze was cold. "I don't understand what you mean."
"Xia Yixin, our production team wants to confirm with you. Please take us to the place you found it. I suspect that what you dug up caused other people's food poisoning."
The voices came from over there. Sister Hao, who had been struggling to sit up, said angrily, "Is there any need to doubt this? There must be something wrong with what she dug up. The seafood we ate today was freshly caught and it certainly couldn't have caused food poisoning."
