Yan Qiao first took Bird and Dongxi to the Agu tribe.
She was a familiar face; everyone had seen her before, so they didn't make things difficult for her and let her in directly.
The two tribes got what they needed and quickly reached an agreement; the transaction went very smoothly.
Aside from the language barrier, the two sides actually got along very well.
With Yan Qiao acting as a middleman, a bridge of communication was opened for them.
Bird thanked her profusely and happily carried the meat he had traded with the Agu tribe back home.
He insisted on giving some meat to Yan Qiao, but Yan Qiao refused to accept it.
She's about to leave, and it wouldn't be convenient for her to take all this meat with her.
After discussing it with the chief, Bird gave her a large bag of dried mushrooms.
Yan Qiao initially thought they were just ordinary dried mushrooms, but upon closer inspection, she discovered they were all dried matsutake mushroom slices!
"..."
Isn't this a bit too extravagant?
Yan Qiao felt she couldn't accept it and declined twice.
Bird said, "We have plenty more; these are for you."
Unable to refuse, Yan Qiao had no choice but to carry a large bag of dried matsutake mushroom slices back home.
Back at the camp, Ruan Cha was also packing her things.
"Qiaoqiao, we still have a lot of dried abalone and dried shrimp, and quite a lot of honey. Do you want to take these with you?"
Yan Qiao said helplessly, "Not only that, look at this one."
She put the bag down.
Upon opening it, Ruan Cha picked up a dried matsutake mushroom.
"What's this?"
Zang Mingqi said, "It should be dried matsutake mushrooms. Where did so many come from?"
Dried matsutake mushroom slices can cost several hundred yuan per kilogram on the market, and higher quality ones can cost over a thousand.
Who's so generous, giving away such a big bag right off the bat?
Yan Qiao rubbed her sore wrist. "It was a gift from the Babu tribe. It's not very convenient to take it back, so I suggest we give it to our fans."
Direct lottery.
Ruan Cha and Zang Mingqi both agreed, and Xi Luo, needless to say, wouldn't care about these things if it weren't for the fact that they were on this godforsaken island.
Yan Qiao took some sealed bags from Zhang Song and also gave him and the director a large bag of dried matsutake mushroom slices.
The remaining portion was divided into small bags, sealed in airtight bags, for easy mailing.
Finally, Ruan Cha posted on Weibo to inform everyone about tomorrow's live stream, during which there will be a giveaway of gifts.
On the last day of the show, Yan Qiao borrowed live streaming equipment from the production team.
Using my own phone to stream would probably cause the stream to crash.
The production team's equipment was more professional.
As soon as the live stream started, netizens and fans flocked in.
Seeing the numbers rising sharply, Yan Qiao was worried that the production team's equipment might not be able to keep up.
The screen was completely covered by comments, and Yan Qiao didn't even have time to read what they were saying before she was bombarded with them.
"The comments are scrolling too fast, we can't see them at all. Let's just introduce the product to them directly."
Yan Qiao frowned, trying hard to make out what they were saying.
Then they noticed the phrase "Is it going to be a live-streaming sales event?"
"This isn't about selling products. These are some dried goods we've stored up during our time on the island. This is dried abalone, this is dried shrimp, and these are dried matsutake mushrooms. We've already packaged them up and will randomly select fans to receive them."
【Ahhh, dried abalone! Australian black-lipped abalone! I want it!】
[Abalone is nothing compared to this! Go check how much wild dried matsutake mushrooms cost per pound!]
[This believer wishes for a balanced diet of meat and vegetables throughout her life; please let me win this prize just once!]
With millions of viewers in a live stream, the odds of winning are extremely low; the main focus is on the sense of participation.
What if I actually win!
Yan Qiao used a random screenshot method for the lottery, which made the comments fly even faster.
She took a screenshot of the first ten names, read them aloud in front of the camera, noted down their IDs, and asked them to leave a message in the backend with their mailing addresses.
"Remember to leave your address. If you do not reply with your address before 5 p.m. today, your entry will be considered invalid."
After taking many screenshots, I finally managed to send everything out.
I wrote down each address, ready to send them back via international express once I returned to land.
"Alright, that concludes the prize draw."
By this point, the barrage of comments had thinned out.
Yan Qiao picked out a few questions to answer.
[Hush, have the competition results for the show been released yet?]
"No, the results of the match will be released tomorrow. Just follow the live broadcast, and we will announce them to you then."
When are you going back to China?
"The results will be announced tomorrow, and we'll be flying back to Yancheng that night."
[Is she planning to quietly take on a role and join a film crew next?]
"I need to resolve my contract issues with the company first, so I won't be taking on any acting roles or variety shows for the time being."
[Now that the contract is settled, should I go to Cha Cha's company?]
"I'm not sure if I'll sign with another company. I'll let everyone know when the time comes."
She has no intention of continuing in the entertainment industry and will likely not sign with any company again.
Everyone picked a few questions to discuss with the audience, and the live stream lasted exactly three hours before they prepared to end the broadcast.
The day passed quickly, and as it drew to a close, everyone was eager to go home.
September arrived, and the sky was clear and bright.
Zhang Song held the microphone and read out the names of the sponsors, whetting everyone's appetite before announcing the results of the reality show competition.
"First, let's announce the winners of this season's 'Home on the Desert Island': our guests Ruan Cha and Zang Mingqi! Congratulations to the two of you on becoming global brand ambassadors for the top luxury brand L!"
The subsequent rankings are not important.
Yan Qiao and Xi Luo remained calm, clearly having already anticipated the outcome and showing no surprise.
The two people who were most unable to accept this outcome were Shen Zhou and Yan Yaoyao.
They simply couldn't believe that the championship wasn't theirs!
"Brother Zhang, is there some mistake?" Shen Zhou asked, frowning.
Zhang Song laughed and said, "No mistake, this is the final result."
Yan Yaoyao tried to calm herself down. "But if I remember correctly, their account balance was less than ours yesterday."
Zhang Song nodded. "You're probably referring to when the last mission was completed, when one group had fewer members than you, but that wasn't the case afterward."
Yan Yaoyao was stunned. "What do you mean? I've already finished the last month. What other channels do they have to get funding, unless you pull strings for them!"
Zhang Song's smile faded slightly. Didn't she know who was using connections and back channels to get in?
“Our production team has always guaranteed fairness and impartiality. The only time we gave a guest a special advantage is when everyone knows it.” He glanced thoughtfully at Chen Zhou. “I can guarantee with my and the director’s integrity that Yan Qiao and the other three guests survived a month on the deserted island using their own abilities.”
That's pretty clear. I know who's getting special treatment, but I'm not saying.
Yan Yaoyao's face turned ugly. "Then please explain to us, Brother Zhang, why the champion is in the same group."
Zhang Song nodded and explained to her, "Because last night, Group A and Xi Luo used the prop card at the same time."
Xi Luo and Zang Mingqi exchanged a glance, both noticing the surprise on their faces.
Clearly, neither of them knew that the other had used an item card.
Only five prop cards were issued previously, two for each of the first and second groups, and Xiluo had one.
So much time has passed that Yan Yaoyao has almost forgotten about it.
