The hype surrounding the Great White Shark incident didn't last long, and viewers in the live stream didn't stay for long either. In less than five days, the number of viewers in the live stream plummeted again.
On the contrary, the edited videos online are still very popular.
The platform is helpless against this phenomenon. It has tried all the hype it could generate, and there were even rumors that some contestants sparked a romance during their survival.
But it was just a gimmick; viewers didn't get the gossip they wanted from the live stream, and the number of viewers continued to steadily decline.
Huya is in the worst situation because they no longer have any competitors; they are simply there to make up the numbers, and even then, they are losing money to participate.
Faced with this situation, the production team, after discussion, could only pray for a natural disaster to occur.
Huya didn't want to continue being a runner-up and proposed to find a way to end the show as soon as possible. In fact, it wasn't just Huya; although the other four platforms still had players competing, there was really nothing worth watching.
Renting cruise ships, hiring rescue teams, and hiring medical personnel every day all require wages, and the food and drink of these people is also a considerable expense.
Although neither of them mentioned it, they all wanted to end the show as soon as possible; what they lacked was someone to take the lead and offer suggestions.
Now, when Huya made this suggestion, it was immediately approved unanimously.
The various platforms don't have any good ideas on how to get the contestants to give up, especially Douyin, whose contestant is Ye Zi. No matter how you look at it, as long as Ye Zi can persevere, she will definitely be the champion.
They certainly wouldn't miss an opportunity to showcase their talent for judging people.
Other platforms also understand this. Following advice from Huya, each platform wants to find a solution and then draw lots.
Whatever method you draw, then use that method on your own players.
At this point, the people on Douyin were dumbfounded.
Since the other three groups of contestants were not far from their destinations, after checking the weather forecast, they unanimously decided to wait until the storm passed before making a decision.
However, people on Douyin could only resort to the suggestions given by the Huya platform to spread poison.
The poisoning wasn't actually intended to kill Yezi and Reba, but rather to give them a laxative so they would have to quit due to diarrhea.
And that time was the day the storm devastated the other three groups of survivors.
This is very difficult because it's not convenient for Ye Zi and his friends to hide on this small island. Plus, Ye Zi has excellent hearing, so he can detect even the slightest movement on the island.
This story has been verified. Once, Reba went to collect eggs and was startled by a hen that suddenly rushed out. She cried out, and less than half a minute later, Yezi appeared beside Reba with an axe.
If Ye Zi hadn't known that Reba was safe and could go even faster, the reason he still carried the axe was mainly to confirm that Reba had exceptional hearing.
The island is so small that you can get a general idea of the situation just by looking at it, let alone hearing about it.
Furthermore, Ye Zi and Reba don't have the habit of storing food; they catch and eat fresh food every day. Also, the production team doesn't have any professional agents, making it extremely difficult to administer the drugs.
After explaining the difficulty of administering the drug, the five platforms ultimately decided that if the other three groups of contestants survived the storm, they would draw lots to determine who the champion would be, and then the platforms would send people to communicate with their own contestants to persuade them to withdraw.
If necessary, some compensation may be provided.
This is also the best approach, because many of the initial suggestions didn't work for Ye Zi.
Finally, there's the backup plan: if the contestants value the title of champion, then the only option is for the doctor conducting the routine medical check-up to announce that one of the contestants in the group is unfit to continue competing for some reason and needs treatment.
The island survival challenge has reached its sixty-sixth day. It was originally predicted to be afternoon, but the weather forecast was inaccurate and it turned out to be evening, leaving all three groups of contestants completely unprepared.
The wind force increased rapidly, followed by a downpour.
One group of contestants were caught off guard when their shelter was blown away. They had to make a makeshift raincoat out of palm leaves and then cling to a palm tree to ask for help.
Soon, the first group of contestants withdrew and were picked up by a small boat sent by the production team.
In the early morning, the storm subsided and the sun rose. The moisture on their clothes began to evaporate, and the second group of contestants began to pack up their campsite. However, while packing up, they were pierced by seashells that had been swept up by the storm and landed near the campsite.
It was already evening, and the athletes were resting when the storm came suddenly. They hadn't even put their shoes on properly and ended up getting injured.
The third group of participants were not injured. After tidying up the campsite, they decided to rest for a while before dealing with the food problem because they were too tired.
After a night of running around, it's no wonder they were exhausted. The two returned to their respective shelters to rest.
After having breakfast, Ye Zi went into the sea to retrieve food for the day, where the crew sent by the production team were already waiting underwater at the shipwreck site.
Although Ye Zi already knew there were people underwater through the detection function, she still went into the sea because the system determined that the people underwater did not intend to ambush or attack.
After Ye Zi went into the water, the people below her were wearing full diving suits and even carrying two oxygen tanks.
Upon seeing the leaves, he immediately took out a board and wrote on it:
"There's been a problem with the show. I hope you can withdraw from the competition and end it as soon as possible."
Ye Zi took the pen and wrote on the board:
"Why should I be the one to quit, and not someone else? If we had continued, I would definitely have won."
"For the sake of the show's effect."
Ye Zi frowned and wrote:
"For the sake of the show's effect, I will forfeit all the prize money from this competition."
"We can compensate you."
Ye Zi grinned and immediately wrote:
"How much compensation? Is it the entire bonus?"
It's no wonder Ye Zi cares about the prize money; it's ten million Chinese dollars. Even if he and Reba split it, they would still have five million dollars in their pockets. Although they would have to pay taxes, that would still be three or four million dollars.
If the program's compensation isn't enough, Ye Zi definitely won't be willing to give up.
Even a little less is fine, but it can't be too much less.
"One million," the visitor immediately wrote on the board.
"That's too little. Go back and discuss it. We'll split the 10 million bonus equally, 5 million each. We could have gotten that much money by staying a few more days, but now it's down to one-fifth. Nobody would be happy about that."
Besides, the championship was originally mine. According to your arrangement, the winner gets both fame and benefits; isn't that a bit unreasonable?
After he finished writing, Ye Zi surfaced. The person who came had an oxygen tank and had been underwater longer than him.
Although Ye Zi could stay underwater for a while longer, his words just now represented his final stance. He didn't want to say anything more and decided to surface to show his attitude.
A few minutes later, the system informed Yezi that the people underwater had left, and only then did Yezi dive down to retrieve the food she needed for the next day.
