Chapter 25 Chapter 25
The cheeks were licked until they were warm, and the red juice was licked away, but the cheeks became even redder.
Yumi held the red fruit in his hand in a daze. He was confused and even turned his head when the monster continued to feed him the Ganoderma fruit.
The monster squatted down and put the Ganoderma lucidum fruit towards his mouth again.
The approaching drone reminded Yumi that he was still on the live broadcast. As a guest who had signed a contract, he could not neglect his duties. His expression quickly became steady. He opened his mouth and ate the gift from his "big partner": "Thank you..." He raised the fruit in his hand and said, "Would you like to have some dragon fruit? This one is also very sweet."
Ansius glanced at the red fruits in his hand and saw that he liked them. He walked to the bushes behind him, brushed aside the obstacles, and picked a lot of red fruits.
He led Yumi to the nearby clear river and washed the fruits.
This is not a dragon fruit. The dragon fruit on the planet Sna is much bigger than this. This is just a berry that is a specialty of the continent of Rhea.
[Hahaha, I mistook the berries for dragon fruit]
[It’s no wonder that Teacher Mi made a mistake. The appearance and taste of this berry are similar to dragon fruit. It’s just a snack for us, but it’s enough to fill Teacher Mi’s stomach! ]
Yumi looked at the fruits in front of her and said, "We can't finish eating so many dragon fruits."
"These are Rhea berries," the monster whispered.
"It's not a dragon fruit..." Yumi was a little embarrassed. After he finished eating the red fruit in his hand, he squatted on the shore to wash his hands and face. When he saw himself reflected in the clear water, he realized that there was a lot of red juice on his lips...
Oh, did I wash his face before? Ansius always liked to wipe his face, but even if there was no handkerchief here, he wouldn't just use his mouth...
Yumi was lost in thought when the monster suddenly took out a washed red fruit, peeled it, and cut the inside into countless small pieces with his knife. Then he found a branch, peeled it, and gave it to him to eat with a fork to avoid getting food stuck on his face.
In this way, Yumi can hold the peel filled with pieces of flesh in her hand and use the wooden stick to eat the fruit with her other hand.
Fresh-cut fruit, only those who eat it will know!
This time the harvest was great. In addition to the specialty berries, Ansius also found some other fruits. Before dark, when they returned to the cabin with these fruits, the others also returned with their own things.
Mond even hunted a pheasant.
Jane had been sleeping in the house. When she heard the sound of people eating in the living room, she ran out to see what was going on. After finding out that it was not out of kindness from the program crew, she wiped her saliva and went back to the house.
Yumi and Ansius had a lot of fruits and vegetables. He saw the slime returning to the house and looked at Ansius with a questioning look.
Antheus: "These are yours."
A few minutes later.
Yumi took two "dragon fruits" and knocked on Jane's door.
The slime inside opened the door and was stunned when he saw that it was him.
"I can't finish it, do you want to eat some?" Yumi whispered.
The slime blinked and looked very stubborn: "I'm not hungry. I can wait until tomorrow to get Joseph's food." But his eyes were wandering around the fruit.
Yumi saw that he really wanted to eat it, so she put the fruit at the door and turned away.
[Teacher Mi! If he doesn’t eat it, give it to me! I’ll eat it! ]
[I bet Slime won't accept it. These guests all know there are cameras, so even if they want to eat, they will pretend]
However……
The slime on the screen saw the little man leave, and his whole body turned red. He looked around to make sure that the little man did not come back, then quickly moved his big, elastic body and rolled the fruits into his room.
Just when the audience thought that he would be eager to peel the fruits and eat them, the fat and round slime actually threw the fruits into his bed and carefully hid them.
【……】
[The live broadcast atmosphere of Group B is different. I have started to get used to it.]
[Group A is starting to play the palace trick again! They are so funny with their weird expressions! ]
[Although this is not as exciting as that, I just want to keep watching]
As night fell, the people in the cabin finished their meals, washed up, and returned to their rooms - they had to sleep well tonight, as tomorrow would be the real battle.
The layout of each room is the same, with nothing else except a big bed and bedding.
The bed was against the wall, and Yumi only occupied a small corner. He folded the blanket to cover his body, lay down, twisted and adjusted a comfortable position. After a while, the monster came in after washing up.
Yumi pointed to the wide space outside of him, indicating that was his place: "Good night."
Antheus looked at him for a few seconds and finally lay down beside the bed.
Yumi walked for a long time this afternoon and was very active, so she fell asleep soon after.
He had no idea and could not have imagined... that after he fell asleep, the monster would gently roll him up into a ball with the blanket and hold him in its arms!
There were countless exclamation marks in the barrage.
[What are you doing? Let go of Teacher Mi! ]
「Ahhh, if it were me, I would hug her too. She looks too much like a doll.」
[Don't get excited, Louis's behavior is actually correct. The night in the Leia continent is very dangerous. This is to prevent wild animals from coming in and stealing Yumi as a cub! ]
[Yes, the leopards in the Leia continent like to attack other animals at night, especially the cubs! ]
[When did Mimi become a cub? ]
[It's normal for animals to treat you as a cub when you're so young]
[Crocodile is not a fish: Bastard! This wooden house has the best protection measures, the leopard will not come here at all! Bastard Louis!!!]
…
Yumi had no way of knowing about the madness that had occurred all night on the barrage. When he woke up the next day, he only found that Anxius was wiping his face again.
The main quest has not yet begun. The cabin provides temporary towels. When Ansius found that he was awake, he washed the towels and wiped his face.
[I thought they knew each other! They wiped the face really skillfully.]
[He held our teacher like a doll all night, so it is his duty to wipe her face! ]
The morning passed quickly. Yumi finished the remaining "dragon fruit", twisted her body to stretch her muscles, and began to wait for twelve o'clock.
[Keep stretching, I love watching! ]
[Youmi, you've ruined me! Now when I wake up, I don't think about washing up but looking at you. I don't even want a partner anymore. You're the only thing I see! My eyes, my mouth, my body are all ruined and I can't move. Unless you show up, I'm really ruined! ]
[…The psychopath upstairs, get out of here! ]
The time was twelve o'clock noon.
The program team's announcement sounded in the room: "Hello, this is the "It's Okay to Be Different" program team, good afternoon everyone! After a night, I believe that everyone has already had the most basic understanding of each other. This night is very crucial, and it will help you successfully match the right partner..."
[Indeed, if you know in advance that the person you want to match with is favored by the guests in the same group, and you know that your hope is not high, you can give up in advance, or find a way to make the other party give up.]
[Why do I feel like this kind of talk is useless in Group B...]
Broadcast: "Without further ado, let's start matching partners. A small compartment will pop up for you in the room. Please enter the compartment in order. Within a limited time, use the equipment inside to video chat with the five guests in Group A to get to know each other. After the interaction, you will have the right to vote for your partner. However, only guests who choose in both directions can be matched successfully! Good luck!"
Jane was the first to enter the booth, and Yumi followed the rest of the guests in line.
While waiting, Ansius went to clean the towel again, this time to wipe Yumi's hands. His voice was very low, but Yumi could hear it clearly: "I will take care of you."
Yumi understood that this meant that they wanted to be partners, so she whispered, "Can we be in the same group?"
Antheus nodded, staring at him, and rubbed his claws lightly on his horns.
At this time, Mond in front of him came out, and Yumi's name sounded on the radio.
Yumi ran towards the cubicle.
In the compartment, there is a huge display screen. Due to the large size differences among the guests, a ladder is provided in front of the huge high stool in front of the display screen.
Yumi climbed up the ladder and carefully sat down on the stool. He looked at the numbers on the screen, which showed that he had three minutes of communication time with each guest.
Time is running out.
Yumi pressed the start button and an elegant figure appeared on the screen.
"Your Highness Joseph," Yumi recognized him and nodded to him, "Hello, I am Yumi."
The man looked him over and smiled, "Long time no see."
"You remember me?" Yumi was surprised. "I was in the restaurant... wearing a mask."
【! 】
[He is really the music box baby?! ]
[How long have you not been online? 】
[Although I already knew it, I was still very excited to hear him say it himself! Music Box Dancer! My White Moonlight! ]
Joseph seemed to think for a moment and replied, "For a being like you, I would be crazy if I forgot, right?"
Yumi curled her lips and was embarrassed for a while, then heard the other party say: "If I choose you, will you choose me?"
Yumi quickly shook her head, "Don't choose me."
Joseph was stunned, and his expression quickly turned inquiring: "Oh, I see."
When the time came, Joseph on the screen instantly turned into Jin Wen, who looked impatient.
"It's finally my turn. I was about to smash the monitor just now!" The man waved excitedly at Yumi, "Bathhouse and hot spring! Do you remember?"
Without waiting for Yumi to speak, he talked endlessly about the details of their previous encounter in the bathhouse, as if he was afraid that the other party would forget him, and he even emphasized one sentence: "You mistook a small window next to the stairs in the corridor for a door, otherwise you wouldn't have met me!"
[Oh my god, there is such a cute story? ]
【What a wonderful behind-the-scenes video! 】
"I remember," Yumi said, "I didn't expect you to be the marshal's son. You said you were a driver..."
"Ah! I didn't mean to lie to you..." Jin Wen found that the time was almost up, he almost lay down in front of the screen and beat it, "Choose me! Remember to choose me, I can protect you, you are too weak, it will be very dangerous here! Choose me, choose me! I have a gun, I can walk sideways on this continent..."
After the countdown, the face disappeared.
Next up is actor Mark.
Yumi moved her butt and greeted the new face: "Hello, I'm Yumi."
"I'm Mark," Mark is a somewhat melancholy man, his passionate eyes look at everyone affectionately, "Are you Yumi? Have you decided who to team up with?"
"Yes! I've thought about it."
His expression was so confident that the actor, who was about to ask "Is it me?", stopped talking confidently and asked him some questions about the movie.
Yumi was asked this question for a full two minutes, and he held his hands and shook his head every time. In the end, he shook his head so much that his body became hunched over.
He had never seen the unpopular art films that Mark mentioned. After coming to Snax, he only occasionally watched some popular TV series.
[Please stop asking. Can't you see that Mimi is not interested and even a little embarrassed? ]
[Everyone knows that Teacher Mi came from the Black Miasma Wasteland. Life was very hard before. She could not even get enough food. She did not even have a computer. Who would watch art films? Is it fun to pretend to be cool here? Teacher Mi is about to be questioned about her inferiority complex! ]
[What's wrong? Are you guys going to dislike Mark? I love listening to Mark chatting with me and giving lectures.]
[So annoying, he seems to think Mimi will choose him! ]
Fortunately, the time was up soon, and the actor who asked him disappeared, and was replaced by a man with long hair and green eyes, the painter Arnold.
"My dear Yumi, I finally meet you!" Arnold said in an exaggerated tone, "God, you have no idea how much inspiration your video gave me before participating in the show! I hope you can be my model after the show is over!"
Yumi didn't expect there would be an unexpected bonus: "Ah? Can I?"
"Absolutely! I brought paint this time! Just to paint your appearance here!" After saying that, Arnold stared at him, then took out something like charcoal and started painting frantically on the wooden board. When the time was about to end, he shouted in horror, "No, give me another minute! Just one minute..."
Yumi waved goodbye to him, then looked at the last guest from Group A - Andri.
This was a general of the camp. He looked very serious and nodded at him: "Hello Yumi, I am Andri."
Yumi nodded at him, and after the two sides introduced themselves, they fell into a terrible silence. When the three minutes were almost over, Andri spoke: "I will do my best."
Yumi: “…”
After all the guests have finished their conversations, they need to take out special mobile phones with limited functions and start the voting session.
Guests can only see their own votes, while the audience can see the votes of all guests in the small window above the live broadcast room.
【Ah this...】
【I'm not surprised at all! 】
A few minutes later, the voting results came out.
There are 10 people in total, and Yumi received 7 votes!!!
Joseph, Jane (Slime), and Louis each have 1 vote.
The rest all got 0 votes!
The broadcast announced: "Congratulations to Yumi and Louis for choosing each other successfully! Congratulations to Joseph and Jane for choosing each other successfully! You will form the most ideal pair, and the remaining guests who failed to match will be randomly matched into pairs to spend the remaining six days together!"
[Can we team up with the same group? 】
[The rules don’t say you can’t do that! ]
[The voting was terrible. It felt like our teacher Mi was surrounded by guests.]
[I was expecting Mimi and the marshal's son to have some sparks, but I'm a little disappointed...]
In fact, even if Anxius didn't say that, Yumi had never thought of choosing someone else. He always kept his job in mind. Since the prince came to the show, the two of them working together would reduce the probability of other guests discovering the prince's identity.
Besides, among all the people here, he is only most familiar with Ansius. When surviving in the wilderness, it is easier to cooperate with acquaintances.
The rest began to draw lots using a machine.
Mond kept looking at Yumi from afar with a hurt look in his eyes.
[Mond's eyes seemed to be saying, we are obviously the same kind of people, why did you choose someone else? ! ]
[Haha, wolves and sheep are destined not to have love! ]
[They have a good body type, but wouldn't it be dangerous for them to work together? ]
[Don't talk about size, Mondstadt's strength is no less than those strongmen in the main city! ]
[Objectively speaking, it would be safer for Louis and Mimi to partner up. After all, the fighting power of the Sna people with devil horns and devil wings is beyond doubt. To be honest, I feel more at ease when I see them successfully match up. The safety of the little guy is more important than anything else.]
The final matching result is:
Yumi (the goat-horned little man) and Louis (the disabled mercenary) are in a group.
Joseph (Imperial Prince) and Jane (Slime) are in a group.
Jinwen (son of the Marshal) and Arlo (robot) are in a group.
Mark (Best Actor) and Mond (descendant of the werewolf tribe) are in the same group.
Arnold (painter) and Andri (camp general) are in a group.
[Look at those stinky faces, I am dying of laughter, I feel like Mond will beat up the greasy actor when they work together]
[Where is our Mark greasy? Black fans go away]
[Just watched the live broadcast of Group A. After Jinwen heard that he was matched with a robot, he was not so upset. He said that he was originally prepared to be a lone wolf, and now he is no different from a lone wolf.]
[How come Arlo is not a human being? Yesterday he wanted to be Mimi's mother! Jinwen, go to hell]
[I can already imagine how much drama there will be in the next few days...]
After all the guests have been matched, the broadcast will signal the guests to gather outside.
However, not long after they walked out of the cabin, they heard a loud bang.
Yumi looked back and saw that the wooden house that was still in good condition not long ago had fallen into the ground and was completely destroyed.
He opened his mouth.
[For real! So scary! ]
[Looks like I'll have to find a place to live on my own next. Pray for you, Yumi! ]
After the wooden house fell into the ground, several aircraft flew over from a distance.
These aircraft were parked on the ground and the staff walked out in an orderly manner. They had to send the partners who had not met to reunite together, and then deploy the five teams to different areas of the continent to complete their respective survival missions.
Once you ask the program team for help, the mission will be considered a failure.
The aircraft carried the remaining three people to their partners, while Yumi and Louis were blindfolded and asked to board the last aircraft.
Louis' paw was holding Yumi's hand all the time, so Yumi was no longer afraid. When she learned that she was about to skydive, she was even a little excited.
It was his first time skydiving.
Yumi was held by Ansius when parachuting. Ansius had rich experience in parachuting, and the staff also knew that even if an accident happened, they would not fall with the original form of the monster.
Before skydiving, their blindfolds were taken off, and Yumi looked at the mountain scenery below in shock. For a moment, he almost thought that he had not traveled through time, but had just traveled to a faraway place, like now, and experienced skydiving.
Yumi smiled happily, he felt that it was the right decision to partner with Ansius. In addition to being able to parachute safely, they also avoided the process of being sent to meet the guests in Group A, which would save a lot of time.
After all, there were no wooden houses, so they had to build or find shelter before dark.
He had done his homework in advance and knew that the Leia continent was very dangerous at night.
After landing, Anxius took off the equipment of the two people, and the next moment, a small machine in the air quickly recovered these items.
Yumi looked around carefully. They were sent to a place with scattered rocky mountains and a jungle in the distance.
It was already afternoon, so Ansius asked Yumi to stay where she was. He flapped his wings and flew into the air. He looked around the mountains and soon found a cave.
He led Yumi to the cave and began to build the "nest" where they would live for the next week.
The cave was very spacious and could easily accommodate the two of them.
Ansius found a lot of dry weeds in the nearby bushes, spread the hay in, picked a few giant leaves, and began to build a small bed.
[It's a small bed for Teacher Mi! Louis, I didn't see you wrongly! ]
[Not bad, not bad, you know to keep your child close]
Yumi was helping too, but he was too small, and even with all his strength he could move wasn't enough to make half a pillow for Antheus.
In order to prevent him from moving, Antheus made an ugly puppy for him to play with out of weeds.
Yumi: “…”
Forget it, Yumi listened to the advice and decided to conserve his strength and sit in the cave to watch over the house.
While Ansius was busy, Yumi quietly put her palm on the ground, trying to feel the stimulating power of the Rhea continent.
He closed his eyes, apparently waiting for a surge of power.
【This is in...】
[Mimi, I really don't mean to discourage you. Even if there were people who were inspired in the past, they were all tall Sna people. Even that dog...it was much bigger than you!]
[Our teacher Mi will inspire superpowers! [Guilty] Even if the truth is cruel, give the child some confidence, okay? ]
[The other groups have also landed and are setting up their homes! ]
[In a harsh environment, it is easier to survive in your original form. Several guests have already transformed into their original forms. I look forward to seeing Mimi transform into a lamb! ]
As a human, Yumi naturally cannot satisfy the expectations of the barrage.
He felt it for a long time and found that there was no change in his body. He did not feel disappointed but stood up and looked at the cave entrance.
Ansius's original form was very suitable for the wild, and it didn't take him long to solve the housing problem.
Once you have a fixed residence, you need to consider eating.
Yumi still wanted to go find some fruit, but Ansius didn't listen to him this time. He hadn't eaten for a day, and he didn't want Yumi to keep eating fruit.
The monster looked at the direction of the sun, then looked at Yumi and stated his decision: "Hunt."
【Wow, I love watching this! 】
[Every Sna Star person evolved from animals. Even if they have human form, they still retain their hunting nature. Obviously, in this continent, the disabled Louis will thrive.]
Yumi was a little surprised, but didn't stop it. He brought a knife with him, and the show was about survival, so naturally he also thought about hunting.
He raised his knife and wanted to hunt with Ansius!
Ansius already had a target, and what he wanted to hunt was the electric bull that appeared nearby.
This is a wild beast with a lot of meat, which tastes similar to beef but is more tender than beef. However, electric cows will discharge electricity continuously, which poses a certain danger.
After Ansius locked onto the trail of a nearby electric bull, he lowered his eyes to look at the little man who was following him closely.
Yumi was nervous, the electric bull was too big for him.
Ansius never thought of letting him get close to the electric bull, but Yumi's safety was a problem when hunting alone... In the end, he picked up Yumi and put him on a safe branch of the giant tree. At the same time, he made him a simple temporary armor with the round big fruit shells.
Yumi was confused: Was his job to keep track of the direction for him from a high place?
Antheus: "Wait for me here."
“…”
It is easy to avoid causing trouble.
Yumi sat on a tree holding a knife, watching the monster approach the electric bull from a distance and engaging in a fierce fight...
It's like watching the animal world.
Yumi was horrified.
The electric bull's horns are very powerful, and it will madly butt the enemy in front of it.
The bull's horns were as sharp as knives. If it were any other wild beast, it would definitely make the opponent bleed or even die without a burial place. Unfortunately, what it was facing at this time was the natural fighting machine of Sna Star.
Seeing that Ansius was not injured, Yumi was slightly relieved, but this hunt gave him some inspiration...
The electric bull can use its horns to attack wild beasts and has such great lethality. So, can he, who also wears horns, learn from it?
Soon, the monster, who had successfully hunted, picked up the electric bull, panting, and walked towards the jungle.
The comments were all congratulations.
[So cool! As expected of the god of war physique in the original form! ]
[Wow, Mimi can eat steak now! No need to go hungry anymore! ]
The monster narrowed his eyes and accurately found the tree where Yumi was placed. He quickened his pace and walked faster and faster. Finally, he saw the small figure on the tree. The back of the figure was twisting back and forth. I don’t know what he was doing, or maybe... he encountered something!
The monster's expression changed slightly, and suddenly it started running wildly.
The noise was so loud that the little man in the tree could naturally hear it.
When Ansius rushed over, Yumi was looking back with a few leaves pierced by the horns. He was stunned at first, then smiled and shared his new discovery with his returning partner: "I just learned a fighting skill. It turns out that horns can also be weapons!"
“…”
The monster stopped moving.
