Chapter 24 Chapter 24
The day before going to the Rhea Continent, Yumi received a temporary notice from the program team: all guests can only bring one item.
The small suitcase that Yumi had packed with great difficulty was suddenly useless. He opened the suitcase, hesitated for a long time, and chose a knife for self-defense.
This knife is very similar to the precious swords that Yumi had seen in martial arts movies before. It has an exquisite appearance, a sharp blade, and many runes carved on the scabbard. It has an ancient and mysterious temperament. Yumi likes it very much.
This was the gift that Lin En gave him when she found out he was going to be on the show. Yumi didn't know that this was a doll knife designed by a niche toy store that also doubles as a fruit knife.
Yumi made a careful choice. If he brought food, it would be eaten up sooner or later. The knife had many uses. In addition to self-defense, it could also be used for cooking, chopping wood, and even hunting.
The next morning, after Yumi got up, he did not see the prince. He naturally thought that the other party was busy with work recently. He just said goodbye to Carl, and soon got on the aircraft arranged by the program team, and headed to the distant Rea continent with full confidence.
The guests were not allowed to meet each other before the live broadcast began, so there were only Yumi and a few staff members in the aircraft.
The staff would occasionally glance at the knife in his arms, their expressions seemed to be saying: This knife has a pretty good decorative effect.
The aircraft was moving very fast. Yumi could only see clouds while sitting on it. There was no chance for her to appreciate the scenery outside the main urban area.
When the pilot reminded him that they were about to reach the Rhea continent, Yumi was still using his optical computer to quickly flip through various survival guides - once he stepped out of the aircraft, the optical computer would be shut down, and he would be completely disconnected from the Internet for the next seven days.
The environment of the Rhea continent does not look as scary as Yumi imagined. It is somewhat similar to the tropical rainforest in his impression, but the various trees are larger and more bizarre.
The aircraft stopped on a flat open space.
As soon as the guests land, they will appear in the live broadcast camera.
Yumi walked down cautiously with the knife in hand. At the end of the road in front of him was a tall wooden house. Standing at the door of the house was a Sna alien more than three meters tall. He seemed to be a staff member and was waving at him from afar.
Yumi squinted his eyes, took a look, and quickly ran over. He ran so fast that he almost dropped the knife.
[Is this Yumi? ]
[Ahhh yes! Mi Nihon is actually Yumi?! ]
[I guarantee that Teacher Mi’s beautiful photos today will be on the hot search list]
[She looks really good in person...she has a standard doll face]
【Why is it so small? 】
[The director's expression is hilarious, like he is a thief who sees another pet running towards him and is excited but dares not show it]
[Mimi, don't be impatient! Slow down, little leg...]
The person who greeted Yumi at the door was none other than Director Kurt, who had been waiting for a long time. When the two met, he tried hard to resist the urge to bend down and pick him up, and conscientiously acted as an NPC, opening the door for him: "The fourth challenger Yumi has arrived, please come in."
Yumi nodded at him seriously and walked into the cabin panting.
As soon as I entered, I felt three different gazes.
Yumi looked over with a smile.
There were already three people in the room, or more specifically, three guests.
After all, only a young guest who is at least 1.8 meters tall fits Yumi's impression of a "person".
The other two, one was a robot with a human face that made him imagine being a soldier in a special effects movie, and the other was close to his height, but didn't look like a human at all. It looked like a big, soft ball with no limbs, only two cartoon eyes and a mouth - this was definitely a slime, right?!
[Hahaha, it feels like Mimi is frightened! ]
[If it weren’t for this show, I wouldn’t have known there were so many strange Snarkites outside the main city area]
Yumi noticed that all of them were staring at her, so she hurriedly found a place to sit down and whispered, "Hello, I'm Yumi."
At this time, a detailed introduction of the guests has appeared on the screen of the live broadcast room.
A cool-looking handsome boy with a wolf tail - Mond: 1.86 meters tall, 19 years old, a descendant of the werewolf tribe from the Evil Beast Desert. Although he is the smallest in the tribe, he is extremely strong!
Human-faced robot - Arlo: three meters tall, age unknown, a robot with a soul born in an extremely cold camp. Although it does not have a complete human form, it can already transform into a human face. It is a miraculous existence.
A guest who looks like a blue slime? - Jane: She is 20 years old and has a huge human form, but her original slime form is only 1.7 meters tall. She is a rare Sna star with a huge difference between her original form and human form!
A doll holding a fruit knife? ——Yumi: 1.7 meters tall, 18 years old, the only one from an unknown tribe in the Black Miasma Wasteland? Currently the smallest humanoid in official data! The humanoid is close to perfect!
[What do you mean by holding a fruit knife? What's wrong with your show? That's clearly Teacher Mimi's super cool knife! ]
[I thought Group B was full of little Sna people, why are there still such big differences? Look how scared that little one is]
[The difference doesn’t refer to height difference…]
Yumi was looking around in the corner, and just as he was about to jump off the chair to look inside the room, a shadow fell over his head.
He looked up and realized that he was quietly surrounded by three other guests.
Yumi took a step back hesitantly, only for the giant robot in the lead to immediately take a step closer to him.
Yumi suppressed her fear and tried to go around them, but as soon as she moved, the knife in her hand was taken away!
"My name is Arlo," the robot said, holding his knife, "You are holding the knife wrong. You should hold it like this." The mechanical hand made a professional knife-holding gesture.
...Ah, so I was teaching him.
"I learned it, thank you." Yumi reached out to take her knife.
Arlo was about to return it to him, but when he put his hand halfway down, he stared at the small figure below, his eyes rolled, and suddenly he stopped moving.
Yumi thought it was a mechanical failure, so he jumped up to get it, but when he was about to touch the handle, the mechanical arm actually held the knife and shook it left and right.
?
Yumi: "...Give it to me."
Arlo lowered his voice a little: "Here, here."
Yumi tiptoed to reach it, but Arlo raised his arm again: "Come, come."
“…”
【this……】
[What is he doing? Does he really think Teacher Mimi is a cat? That's too much! ]
【Give it back to him quickly! 】
[Don’t bully Mimi]
Yumi frowned angrily. Just as he was about to say something, another person surrounding him, a young man who was more than ten centimeters taller than him, jumped up, snatched his knife handsomely, turned around and handed it to him: "This robot may have a data failure and a bad brain. Don't pay attention to him. Hello, my name is Mond."
"Thank you." Yumi clenched his knife. He had a natural liking for this young man who was similar in size to him, so he smiled at him.
Mond paused, then returned to his seat with red ears.
"My name is Jian, you are so small!" The slime circled around him, "You are so small and pitiful. I said the food in the main city is terrible. Come back to my hometown with me and I will feed you a full meal!"
Yumi looked at him awkwardly, declined his kindness, and moved away from him to avoid being accidentally crushed by one of his jumps.
At this time, the director's voice came from outside the door.
The four people in the room looked up at the same time. They knew that the last guest from Group B had arrived.
In the live broadcast room, countless people were looking forward to the appearance of this "different" guest, wanting to see how different he would be, when they were suddenly stunned by the huge monster in the camera.
At first glance, it is the original body, more than four meters tall, with devil horns and devil wings. With only these two characteristics, everyone can guess the other party's occupation, which is definitely related to force.
The Sna people, who are originally demons, are all born fighting machines.
Sure enough, the corresponding introduction box appeared on the screen:
Louis: Four meters and five feet tall, twenty years old, a disabled Sna alien who has lost his human form and used to be a mercenary.
【？ 】
[What's going on? How is it different if there's no humanoid? ]
[After he goes in...are you sure he won't scare that little sweetheart to faint?]
[Stop arguing. The disabled Sna people are indeed very different. Isn't it great that the program team paid attention to this? ]
[Pray for Teacher Mimi. I am not afraid of the dangers of the Leia Continent. I am only afraid that he will be trampled to death by the guests! ]
[Wow, wow, wow... How did Yumi get through all these years? ]
【……】
Yumi looked at the familiar monster in front of her, blinked, and said nothing for a long time.
People in the royal family will not reveal their original forms to the outside world, and many of their original forms are not unique, such as the devil horns that appear in the human form of Ansius. Many powerful Sna people have devil horns.
The public who had seen the Empire's Crown Prince doll participating in an event some time ago would never have thought that the disabled Sna alien who openly participated in the show would be their Crown Prince Anxius.
When Yumi thought of this, Ansius had already walked straight in front of him.
He did not introduce himself, but with a clear purpose, he hunched over in front of Yumi and handed him the only item he brought with him - a strawberry cake.
Everyone in the room: “?”
[Wait...they know each other? ]
[The number one on the daily list is called Louis, could it be him? 】
[I am convinced, I am really convinced, I suspect this guy participated in the program just to chase stars]
[The guests can only bring one thing, the others all bring survival items, but he brought a small cake... Don't cry later! ]
How could Ansius appear in his original form? Yumi had no idea what was going on, but he knew that the prince's disability must not be exposed. Even though he was shocked in his heart, he remained calm: "Hello, my name is Yumi."
He pretended not to know the other person. After all, the other person didn't know what was going on, so this was the safest way.
The monster was stunned and looked at him for a while, then continued to put the small cake into his hands. He was very patient, and when Yumi lowered her head and hesitated, she said in a hoarse voice: "I am Louis."
“…”
Oh, Louis?!
Yumi took a deep breath.
He was just focusing on why the prince was participating in the show and forgot about this!
Louis! The number one person who gave him gifts, the "empty nester" who asked him to come up with a nickname...
It turned out to be Prince Ansius!
After a while, Yumi stood up. He looked like he had experienced a sudden storm. His head drooped rapidly. He took the cake weakly. When the director came in and called them to gather together, he walked over with his hands and feet together and stood there like a soulless person.
[What happened to Teacher Mimi? Why is she so sad all of a sudden?]
[Obviously scared, Louis, just wait for me]
The monster didn't seem to expect Yumi to react like this. He followed Yumi closely, occasionally bending down to look at his face, as if wanting to know what was wrong with him.
Yumi didn't talk to him at all, as if she didn't even know him.
The guests have arrived, and Kurt said excitedly: "Great! Our Group B has gathered, and Group A is also gathering in another wooden house. From now on, we will use jammers to shut down your optical computers. Within seven days, you will not be able to start your optical computers. If you need to call for emergency help or contact us, you can only use the special mobile phones provided by the program team. Of course, please don't be nervous, our program is live, and the staff will always pay attention to your status!"
Mond urged, "Tell us the mission now!"
"Haha, don't be impatient!" Kurt cleared his throat, glanced at the top of his favorite little man's head a few times before saying, "You can only match partners to carry out the main mission at 12 o'clock tomorrow noon. Before that, you only need to stay together in the house until 12 o'clock tomorrow! You can take this opportunity to get familiar with each other, and it's also good to explore the surrounding area in advance!"
Mond looked like an impatient young man, and snorted coldly, "Boring, so slow!"
Kurt smirked and ran away: "Then I'll leave first. I'll cheer for you all behind the camera!"
[We will match partners tomorrow, but put the same group together for live broadcast today. Is it for the convenience of making trouble? 】
[Of course, the guest list for Group A has already been announced, and the people in Group B must have found their ideal partners. Now, letting the people in the same group get along with each other is just to watch them quarrel, right? ]
[Must Group A partner with Group B? Is it not possible that they are in the same group? ]
[Impossible, I was just watching the live broadcast of Group A, and some of them have even awakened their skills. At this time, everyone would want to partner with a strong person, right?]
[This segment is just to stir up trouble! I just came out of Group A’s live broadcast room and they have already started to fight! It’s so funny]
[Tsumon from Group A has already started a fight with someone, fighting for the right to match Yumi! ]
[Ah, I came from Group A too. I can't stand the palace intrigue over there. Who is Yumi? Is there a fight here? ]
[Look for yourself... It's the one surrounded in the middle]
The audience from Group A stared at the live broadcast of Group B with great excitement. When they saw the five guests start to allocate rooms and there were only four rooms in the wooden house, their hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
However, most people still hold the mentality of watching the show.
[The program crew is making trouble! Are they deliberately creating topics? ]
[Tsk tsk, that little guy is finished. No one can beat him. He will definitely be excluded.]
[See? Now everyone is targeting him...]
Indeed, the atmosphere slowly changed after realizing the number of rooms in the house.
Several pairs of eyes were secretly looking at Yumi.
Yumi nervously walked to the living room, trying to find a place to sleep, but after only a few steps, she was surrounded.
Slime looked at him with a red face: "That...that...um..."
"Yumi," Mond pushed the slime aside, put one hand in his pocket and turned his head away, saying, "We are not much different in size, we can just be in one..."
"Little baby," the robot Arlo threw Mond aside with one arm and made a hugging gesture towards Yumi, "Little baby, oh, my little baby, sleep in mommy's arms!"
[Uh...what kind of development is this? ]
[You are crazy! ]
[This robot used to do childcare, right? Did it recognize Yumi as a baby based on her size? ]
【Teacher Mi is a baby! Who doubts it?】
Yumi awkwardly put down the knife she was holding tightly, and before he could respond, there was a sudden "clang" and the robot in front of her was kicked away by the tall monster.
Yumi: “…”
The monster leaned over and approached the little man. The dangerous aura in its golden pupils disappeared completely, and its eyes were full of coaxing. It lifted him up carefully and gently, and when it saw that he didn't shake his head, it immediately carried him to Room 1.
[Help! Let go of Teacher Mi! ]
[Poor little Mimi didn’t even dare to scream when she was lifted up high]
[Louis, you bastard! You better not scare Mimi to tears]
[No, what about the battle for the room that I expected? ]
[You've come to the wrong place, this is the battle for Mimi]
Yumi knew that except for the locker room and the bathroom, all other places here were equipped with cameras. Fortunately, she had too many experiences of being lifted up by Ansius, so she was no longer afraid and just continued to pretend not to know him.
His reaction and expression made the monster gradually panic.
After entering the house, the monster put him down, stuffed the room key into his hand like a circle, and looked down at him for a while. After still getting no response, it suddenly squatted down as if to apologize, and carefully stroked his horns with its claws...
As a result, the sheep's horns are rubbed until they are shiny and glossy, and become more round and shiny!
[…So you’re here to do horn care for people [leaning back]]
[Highlight Teacher Mimi's horns, right? ]
Yumi wasn't angry at all. He just felt that he was fulfilling his job obligations and trying not to reveal the prince's secrets. Therefore, after feeling the other party's obvious goodwill, he couldn't sit idly by and asked in a low voice: "Why did you come?"
The monster lowered his eyes and looked at him.
"Take care of Mimi."
“…”
Yumi found it unbelievable, but the original job was already incredible enough, and there was no room for more shocking things... Sighing, Yumi said solemnly: "Then we can sleep in one room, and I can just sleep on a small blanket." The two of them had always slept in the same bedroom, although there was a small castle in the middle.
Ansius didn't say yes or no, but the slight movement of the wings on his back revealed his excitement.
It was still early and the rooms had been allocated. After everyone looked around the house, they got another piece of bad news - there was no food.
Yumi cut the cake into five pieces and shared them among everyone.
Only Jane shyly accepted it, the other three guests were unwilling to eat it.
Yumi didn't know whether they didn't like it or were being stubborn, so he didn't force them. He only ate his own portion and left the rest in the house. He held a knife and prepared to go out to explore the surroundings. Maybe he could find some food before dark.
Jian didn't go out. He seemed to have decided to partner up with the people in Group A tomorrow. He patted his big, elastic body and said, "I want to partner up with that Joseph. He's a prince. The production team definitely won't dare to starve him. Hehehehe... Mimi, you're so young. You have to hold onto someone big tomorrow, too. I'll help you find one!"
Yumi: “…”Thank you.
[I can’t refute it…]
[The production team must be pissed off, but the official Weibo account is still promoting the hard work of the guests hahaha]
[Mimi holding a knife is a little warrior! ]
Except for Jane, everyone else went out.
Several people acted separately. Yumi held a knife and walked towards the west with his chest puffed out, his small body moving with menacing steps.
After walking for a few minutes, he gradually heard footsteps approaching, rustling, right behind him... Yumi quickly raised his knife and looked back, and soon breathed a sigh of relief.
It's Antheus.
Ansius picked a fruit from somewhere and fed it to him without saying a word.
The fruit was not big, about the size of a strawberry. Before Yumi could react, he had already opened his mouth and put it in. He chewed a few bites, his eyes wide open.
So sweet...so strange and delicious!
[It’s Lingzhi fruit, a fruit that can only be found in the Leia continent! You can’t buy it now! ]
[I had the honor of eating it a few years ago. It was super delicious. This fruit also has the effect of strengthening the body. It is a rare fruit on the Sina Star...]
[It is said to grow on the top of the giant tree of the Rhea Tree... In other words, this guy just flew to find this? ]
[Okay, since you are already chasing stars, remember to feed Teacher Mimi to gain some weight]
Yumi's mood was not bad to begin with, but she was suddenly in a strange and dangerous environment, so she was inevitably nervous. Now that she had eaten the magical fruit that she had never eaten before, her mood became good!
"Louie," he knew there were cameras and began to get used to the name in advance, his eyes sparkling, "Wait a minute, I'll find something delicious for you too."
The little friends work together to explore and exchange delicious food with each other. What a united and friendly show.
Yumi did it right away, full of energy, and quickened his pace of exploration.
The monster followed him closely, but didn't want to get in the way, so it kept a distance from him.
To be honest, the scenery here is very beautiful. Yumi always feels that he is exploring some natural wonder. Not to mention the towering trees, even the saplings on the roadside look like magical creations in his eyes.
The road became more and more rugged, and soon reached an uphill slope. Yumi sniffed the air and smelled a faint fragrance... in the tall weeds ahead.
The monster following behind also smelled a special scent - Ganoderma lucidum fruit!
The monster raised his head and looked at the giant tree above. His eyes narrowed slightly, and without thinking, he flew over.
Even in the continent of Rhea, Ganoderma lucidum is a rare and precious fruit. Considering that the audience also wants to see the process of picking Ganoderma lucidum, the aerial drone chooses to follow Louis closely.
The monster wasted no time and flew to the top of the giant tree. He quickly picked the ripe Ganoderma lucidum fruit, and the small fruit was carefully protected by his claws.
After returning to the ground, the monster seemed to want to feed the fruit he had just picked to Yumi. He took a few steps forward eagerly, then stopped and looked around.
The little guy who was here not long ago...is gone!
The monster's expression was confused at first, then quickly turned into panic.
A few seconds later.
[What the hell is going on? Why is the lens cracked? ]
[Is he going berserk? ]
[What kind of horror movie angle is this for a ghost looking for someone? Stop filming him.]
[Where's Yumi? What's going on? Don't scare me! ]
Just when the comments were in chaos and the production crew was scared to rush to the scene, a scene that stunned them suddenly appeared in front of the cracked camera.
The jungle in the corner of the camera moved slightly.
A small, soft body crawled out from inside. Yumi waved his horns at the frozen monster. He couldn't help but eat a few bites of the red fruit. He excitedly shouted with his red mouth, "Dragon fruit, there is actually a dragon fruit here..."
The monster, panting heavily, stared at him motionlessly. The disturbing aura was disappearing quickly, but the monster's blood-red eyes told the audience that he was still nervous.
Yumi looked up and wiped her face, not realizing she had turned into a tabby cat: "What's wrong with you?"
The monster walked over quickly, without saying a word, and lowered his head to lick the little face.
[No…]
[It's eating people! Please save Teacher Mi! ! ! ]
[Hey, Xiaomi secretly put on lipstick! Her little mouth turned into a big one! [呲溜]]
