Chapter 640 It Should Not Be
An Zhixia was wearing a fiery red cheongsam with a white eagle spreading its wings on it. Her slender neck like jade was particularly eye-catching. Her delicate eyebrows, proud figure, and domineering manner made the artists in the audience applaud in admiration as soon as she appeared on stage.
She walked to the center of the stage with a chuckle and took the microphone from the host. "I'm glad that everyone has persisted for three months. I am very happy to announce that you have successfully passed the test of "Star Dream" and officially entered the elimination system!
In the next nine months, some of our friends will leave our group every month.
But those who left should not be discouraged, life is long, and so is the road to stardom. The end of one place will be the beginning of another! You have more rare experiences than other artists, which is a great fortune and will allow you to experience what it means to benefit endlessly in the future.
Well, there is a luxury cruise ship that will sail around Dongzhou for a month and will set sail at two o'clock in the afternoon. You can buy a ticket and go there.
Those who can get off the boat safely will advance to the fifth month of the competition!"
The artists, especially the artist Xia Hua, had bright eyes. As for luxury cruise ships, they normally couldn't get on them. Only some wealthy families or certain events had the opportunity to board them.
"You will line up to buy tickets later, and then go buy some daily necessities. Since our first voyage is already fully loaded, we will not dock easily during the journey. Even if we need to resupply, it will be once a week, and passengers are not allowed to disembark.
If you are a student who cannot adapt to seafood or canned food, you can stock up on more food.
Of course, everyone should have seen Titan, right? No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents..."
An Zhixia stopped talking and left amid the uproar and various speculations and discussions.
No matter what, the students could not give up this opportunity. After all, the probability of the "Titan" incident happening was very small. Besides, communications were developing rapidly and transportation was much better than it was decades ago.
They all went to the five ticket purchasing channels on one side.
The students made a lot of money in this month. However, they found that not everyone can take a luxury cruise. The first-class ticket price starts at four digits, and the second and third-class tickets are also three digits, which is equivalent to several months' salary for workers.
Since cruise ships are defined as being for the powerful, there are no economy classes.
This means that students who don’t have enough money can only choose to become crew members!
At the beginning of the third month, the students who ranked last had the priority to choose the stalls. Most of them went for large household appliances, gold and silver jewelry, but the most profitable ones were the small accessories, daily necessities and food selected by Xia Hua artists!
With the difference in promotion methods and other aspects, the initial gap was narrowed, and the original ranking was somewhat restored! The one who made the most money was more than 2,000 yuan, and the one who made the least was more than 200 yuan.
Xia Hua artists generally chose second-class cabins, and then they went shopping together.
They have great trust and respect for An Zhixia, and always feel that every word of Teacher Xiao An has deep meaning. As the program team always likes to surprise people, they have to make full preparations.
Food, fresh water, medicine, clothes, mosquito repellent, candles, matches, etc. Due to the ship's control of dangerous goods, each of them bought a baseball bat as a self-defense weapon, and a lot of homemade pepper spray, etc. Of course, life jackets and uninflated kayaks were also packed in the suitcases.
At two o'clock, they arrived at the dock in batches.
A huge luxury cruise ship was docked there. It was more than twenty stories high, more than three hundred meters long and more than forty meters wide. It was extremely spectacular and shocking.
With their tickets, they boarded the ship and began their journey around Dongzhou.
The ship is fully equipped and luxuriously decorated, and many celebrities who have appeared on TV have also taken advantage of it.
The students were almost dazzled by the luxurious life of the upper class. They had three high-configuration meals a day, free use of various entertainment facilities, and dances in the evening for making friends!
It took a lot of self-control for them to continue their previously self-disciplined but boring life, eating in moderation, stretching their throats every morning, and studying and training according to the thick book of materials they received in the morning.
Of course, there are also artists who do not slack off in training while making many friends and living a colorful life.
Another half of the artists came as crew members. Their work was tedious and boring. They worked twelve hours and rested twenty-four hours, which was quite a test for them.
The cruise was already halfway through, and the trainees breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that life right now was the best test for them. However, all the tourists on the ship had gone ashore for vacation, and the trainees had to take a medium-sized passenger ship back home.
Half a day after the ship set sail, the recorder reported that the weather had been bad in recent days and all ports were temporarily closed. Ships were not allowed to leave, and passing ships were not allowed to dock at the port...
When the students heard this, their faces suddenly turned ugly. Is Teacher Xiao An a prophet?
What terrified them even more was that the crew apologized and said that due to the negligence of the staff, the supplies were transported to the wrong place. The wooden boxes that were supposed to contain food and daily necessities were all turned into some porcelain goods! They could only fish and grill for the next half month, after all, the seasonings were almost gone.
"Is this to create an effect for the show?" The students accepted it with wooden faces and gathered together to guess.
"That shouldn't be the case. We just searched the boat and found that there is indeed no food or supplies! Besides, the weather is not something that can be controlled by humans. We can only say that we are unlucky..."
After analyzing the situation, they concluded that they had trusted the program too much. They never expected that the program had known the weather conditions in advance and fabricated false information and put it on the radio.
Although everyone brought some food, the suitcases were so small that it would definitely not last more than half a month.
They began to learn how to fish from the crew and dismantled several beds to use as firewood to grill fish.
The trainees shared food and cheered each other up, listened to the weather reports on the radio every day, and saw that the wind on the sea was indeed strong, and the boat was swaying with it. They could only put all their depressed mood into training.
They danced, sang and performed on the deck facing the wind, and the crew became the audience.
Every day was a physical and mental torture. Some people couldn't bear it, so they went to the captain and cried almost to the point of collapse.
The captain had no choice but to gather everyone together and said solemnly: "I know many gentlemen and ladies are panicking. We are very sorry for this, but we have several speedboats stored in the cabin.
Although our ship cannot dock, the speedboat can."
