"At ease—"
"stand at attention!"
Accompanied by the rugged voice of Instructor Niu, the wilderness survival instructor invited by the program team, the few kids who had just arrived on the island immediately stood up crookedly in a row on the beach.
Although none of the children stood perfectly straight, each one was full of enthusiasm, trying their best to hold their heads high and chests out, their little hands pressed tightly against their trouser seams.
Kang Kang, the tallest of the group, peeked at the line from the very edge, then stepped forward with a serious expression. He pulled each of his friends to straighten the line before jogging back to his own spot.
"Report your numbers!" Instructor Niu roared again.
"1!" Kang Kang roared in perfect unison, his whole body trembling with force.
Inspired by the two of them, the little girls behind them all shouted out their numbers at the top of their lungs.
"Now let's invite Coach Xing to speak." After Coach Niu had organized the team, he handed the megaphone to Xing Chao and stepped aside.
Xing Chao picked up the megaphone and cleared his throat, "Dear lovely children, welcome to our 'Crazy Summer Camp' and to our Adventure Island."
Next, after a three-day wilderness survival training on this deserted island, we will set off to begin our real wilderness survival journey.
Kids, are you excited?
No one answered...
For a moment, apart from the sounds of nature, there was no sound at the scene, and the images on the live broadcast screen seemed to stand still.
Suddenly, Sisi, who was standing ramrod straight, asked loudly, "Uncle, should we look forward to it?"
Xing Chao felt a crow fly over his head.
The sensible Kang Kang once again stepped up to lead the way, responding loudly, "Looking forward to it!"
The voices of the other children rose up sparsely like scattered sand, "Looking forward to it!"
"Ahem..." Xing Chao cleared his throat to ease the awkwardness and continued, "For the next three days, the children will need to find their own food and water to survive on the island under Teacher Bell's guidance."
Over these three days, in addition to survival skills, you will also need to attend classes with Coach Bear and Coach Niu to learn the most basic survival techniques.
I heard the words "attend class and study".
Sisi's lips twitched. She had come all the way to this deserted island to survive, and they still wanted her to attend classes.
Like Sisi, Xiao Qingzai also had a bitter expression on his face.
His father originally disagreed with him participating in the show, since he was already of first grade age, but not only did he not start elementary school, he was also demoted from the senior class to the middle class.
But his father couldn't stand his tantrums and finally reluctantly agreed to let him participate.
He came to participate in the show to escape attending classes and endless tutoring at home.
But now...
well!
Little Qingzai nodded helplessly and let out a heavy sigh.
His and Sisi's performance instantly resonated with countless underachieving students watching on screen.
[Haha, this perfectly describes me when school finally gives us a holiday, only to be told we still have to attend extra classes!]
I also get a physical reaction whenever I hear about classes or studying; it's so frustrating!
[Academic geniuses and top students enjoy learning, struggling students work hard, only academic underachievers avoid learning.]
...
While netizens were still hotly debating the difference between academic geniuses and slackers, Xing Chao had already invited Bear Grylls to make an appearance.
"Hello, kids!" Bell's Chinese wasn't very good, so what he said sounded like a child with poor pronunciation.
However, his appearance instantly revived Sisi, who had just been feeling dejected because of having to go to class.
Sisi stepped forward, her eyes sparkling like stars as she looked at Bell, and bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle. "Hello, Teacher Bell, I'm Su Sisi!"
After introducing herself, Sisi excitedly asked, "Mr. Bell, do you really dare to eat anything?"
“Yes, as long as it’s non-toxic and safe,” Bell replied earnestly in broken Chinese.
Susie waved excitedly to Xiaoruanruan and said to Belle, "Teacher Belle, I brought some homemade food as a gift for you."
Little Ruanruan reluctantly opened her tiny Peppa Pig suitcase and pulled out five or six bottles and jars from her little clothes.
Xing Chao, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.
Before boarding the ship, the production team had already checked the luggage of the young guests and only allowed each of them to bring two sets of clothes. Everything else, including the tents, was taken away because the production team would provide tents once they arrived on the island!
But those two little ones, Sisi and Ruanruan, actually...
Sisi excitedly took the bottles and jars from Xiao Ruanruan's hands, placed them on the ground, and then picked them up one by one and handed them to Belle.
"Teacher Bell, these are the dried earthworms I made."
After Belle took it, she picked up another bottle.
"Teacher Bell, these are the maggots I raised. I heard that live maggots are more nutritious, so I brought you live ones. Don't worry, they were all raised on fruit, not on poop."
Kang Kang, Jia Jia, and Guo Guo felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the white creature still wriggling in the bottle. To prevent themselves from vomiting in public, they unconsciously turned their faces away.
Little Qingzai excitedly hopped over and said, "Sister Qianqian, maggots don't taste good raw. They're only good when they're stir-fried. Last time when Xiaoruanruan and I were in Mount Emei, we dug up some insects that looked like maggots and ate them."
