"Ye Feng..."
Tang Weiwei had just finished her work and was panting heavily when she plopped down next to Ye Feng.
His long hair, which hadn't been washed in who knows how long, was casually draped over his back, and it even shone faintly in the sunlight.
"There's a problem that's been bothering me for a long time, and I don't know if you've noticed it."
Ye Feng put his hands behind his head and squinted at him.
This was the first time Tang Weiwei had ever taken the initiative to ask him questions.
"What's the problem?"
Tang Weiwei frowned, tilting her head slightly upward, as if she were recalling something.
He spoke after a moment…
"Look, now, in the top ten, Horford is third, Clayvin is fourth, LeBron is fifth, Kodiaz is seventh, and Don Quixote is tenth."
In addition, A-Wu, you, and I basically all made an appearance.
That leaves only second-placed Cairnster Jordan and eighth-placed Fitz Luminder.
Don't you think these two people are particularly mysterious, especially the guy named Fitz?
And when that ugly guy was announcing the rankings, he didn't seem to read out the name of the eighth-ranked person.
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes snapped open, as if recalling some memories, and he immediately sat up...
That's right. When Chou Chou read out Zhan Pengwu's name, she skipped to the eighth and jumped to the seventh.
He had a strong impression of Fitz; it was when Chou Chou sent him the materials.
He memorized all the information about the other nine people without missing a single word.
While the information provided for each person was not complete, at least some basic details were given.
But the only blank space in the photo is for Fitz Luminde.
Only his name and his identity as a Chinese American were written on it.
They didn't even write down simple details like age, occupation, or resume.
This is very unusual, especially considering the network of connections within the production team.
They can even find out about their own food delivery experience, so it's impossible that they can't find out the reason.
The problem is quite simple: the production team was clearly deliberately concealing this person's information.
As for his purpose, he had no idea.
In fact, these speculations had already taken root in Ye Feng's heart shortly after he arrived on this land.
However, he was too busy with survival tasks to investigate for the time being, and over time, he forgot about it.
"Tell me your thoughts..."
Ye Feng simply said that since Tang Weiwei had taken the initiative to speak, she must have her own insights.
"I suspect this kid might have been sent by the production team; he might be a pro."
They're definitely plotting something. Maybe they're trying to prevent us from winning the big prize. Otherwise, why would they be hiding Fitz's identity?
Ye Feng nodded in approval…
"Hmm, that makes sense. But there are still some logical inconsistencies."
"Where is the blockage?"
Ye Feng tapped his watch and looked at the blank page next to the profile picture, his mind filled with questions.
"If he really is part of the production team, then without a doubt, his goal is to prevent the grand prize from going to someone else."
This survival game is nothing more than a large-scale drama series they directed and starred in themselves, and we are all one-time actors.
But if that's the case, then why hasn't this show had a winner in three years?
Even if he arranged for one of his own people to win, at least the audience wouldn't know, and there wouldn't be any rumors of the show being rigged later.
"hiss……"
Tang Weiwei held her head in her hand, momentarily speechless, unsure how to respond.
It took him a dozen seconds to guess what Ye Feng wanted to say.
"So you mean that Fitz isn't part of the production team?"
"right."
Ye Feng nodded, his expression still serious.
"For a program that prides itself on being authentic, behind-the-scenes manipulation is absolutely a major taboo that would damage its reputation and ratings."
The audience watches it for this reason, so the boss behind it couldn't possibly be unaware.
Even so, no one won the show. So I say it doesn't make logical sense.
Moreover... the prize money is only a little over 20 million, which is a lot for ordinary people like us.
But for capitalists like him, it's just a drop in the ocean; they might make hundreds of millions from just one episode of their show.
In this situation, they disregard the future of the program, sacrificing their reputation to save on prize money and abandoning the future for a little bit of profit.
Doing this is tantamount to killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; it's too short-sighted. Even I wouldn't do such a thing.
After saying this, Tang Weiwei was even more confused. He had originally wanted to get answers from Ye Feng.
But now, things seem to be getting more and more complicated.
"If Fitz isn't part of the production team, why would they hide his identity?"
"call……"
Ye Feng tilted his head back and took a deep breath…
I thought for almost a minute before coming up with a seemingly logical answer.
"This person should be very entertaining and able to generate some viewership."
However, he has no real strength, and if his appearance is revealed, he will likely be killed.
So the show wanted to give him a hand, or observe him to see what tricks he could come up with and whether they would boost the ratings.
Of course…
At this point, Ye Feng suddenly revealed a relieved yet playful smile.
"This Fitz might already be dead; we're just guessing."
Don't worry too much, our team is strong and well-equipped now.
The weapons and survival tools are top-notch, plus you and Zhan Pengwu are two experts.
Unless they have guns, the idea of killing us all under my nose is utterly absurd.
Upon hearing this, Tang Weiwei could only helplessly hum in agreement.
If you have absolutely no understanding of an unknown and mysterious person or thing, you will indeed feel very uncertain.
"I just want to remind you to keep your mind clear at all times."
Tang Weiwei turned her head and stared at Ye Feng with sharp eyes, her tone containing a hint of warning and a clear sense of sadness.
"Ye Feng, our lives are in your hands. You'd better keep a clear head and not act like a slacker."
I once lost a brother's life because of carelessness.
Despite my utmost caution afterward, I still nearly caused Ah Wu and Peng Fei's deaths, narrowly escaping death several times.
So I know I'm not leadership material.
The reason I agreed to cooperate with you that day was not because I was afraid of being attacked and having no one to help me in the future.
I'm afraid of death, but I'm even more afraid of my brothers dying because of my foolish commands. Like Ah Bin back then…
He clearly warned me then, saying... to be careful of that Horford, but I thought my swordsmanship was unmatched, and that he would definitely..."
At this point, Ye Feng noticed that Tang Weiwei's eyes were already brimming with tears...
This seemingly aloof man appears to value brotherhood very much.
