Chapter 9 Deserted Island Begins

The reaction of netizens was similar to what the program crew expected. Director Yang Chen invited Jiang Wu to be a control group in the first place. Although Bi Yan is gentle, he is known for his high education and knows a lot of knowledge. Such a strategist-type figure will not only not be disliked, but will be very important.

But Jiang Wu is different. He has neither physical strength nor intelligence, and his emotional intelligence is not high either. People are curious about how he will hold people back on the deserted island, what weird things he will do, and when he will be hated by everyone. These are all things to watch.

Soon, the official Weibo post of "Journey into the Unknown" received over 10,000 comments, and the recording time for the first episode was officially confirmed for three days later.

Three days later, the pristine island of more than 300 square kilometers was left with exposed white rocks, and the blue sea water with foam washed the reefs, leaving a wet mark on the beach.

After Jiang Wu was sent to the island by the program crew, he found that he was the only one who really did not bring anything. The others brought some personal belongings. Most of the girls brought sunscreen and mosquito repellent, while the boys all brought underwear and swimming trunks, probably planning to swim.

There were six guests in total. When he arrived, the others had already started chatting. He remembered what Zhang Xiaoyu had repeatedly reminded him of before he left, and took the initiative to step forward and say hello to the other five people.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Wu."

"Hello, Brother Jiang. I'm Ji Ruoxuan. I just returned to China this year. I'm three years younger than you. You can just call me Xiaoxuan. Please give me your guidance."

The young man with chestnut curly hair smiled at him warmly, revealing a canine tooth at the corner of his lips. His curly hair was blown all over the place by the sea breeze, which looked quite pleasing.

The attitudes of the other four were not so enthusiastic. When Jiang Wu greeted him, they just looked at him with a polite smile. After Ji Ruoxuan finished speaking, no one took the initiative to respond, and the scene was awkward for two seconds.

At this time, a sweet girl with a ponytail took the initiative to break the silence and introduced everyone. "I am Nie Yumeng, the youngest member of the girl group Flowers and Deer. This tall and handsome guy with a bronze complexion is Wu Jiayou, the gentle and handsome guy next to him is Zhihui Dangdang Biyan, and the cool and cool girl next to me is Guan Qi."

Jiang Wuchao nodded to them, "Hello."

"Hello." Bi Yan, who looked gentle and refined with glasses on, was also quite handsome and elegant. He smiled at him politely.

Wu Jiayou curled his lips and said politely, "I'm Wu Jiayou, just call me Brother Wu."

The last one was a girl with short hair, a cool temperament, and wearing a denim jacket and trousers. She was the woman who was said to have punched the scumbag into the hospital, Guan Qi.

Guan Qi looked at him expressionlessly and said "hmm" in a neutral voice.

Jiang Wu could see that she didn't like him, but he wasn't curious either. After all, none of the people here really liked him.

After the six people in front of the camera introduced themselves awkwardly and subtly, director Yang Chen bared his teeth and began to announce the rules of the first episode.

“Experience the secret of harmonious coexistence and mutual assistance between man and nature, and explore the unknown journey. Welcome all guests!”

"You will spend the next three days on this island. On the first day, you will be assigned a tool. This tool will determine the quality of your life on the deserted island. It may be a dagger or an embroidery needle. It all depends on your luck."

"Three days?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone let out a cry of grief. Nie Yumeng couldn't wait to ask, "Then what should we do to wash and change clothes?"

"Of course we have to solve it right here, otherwise how can we survive on a deserted island?"

"Isn't this a journey to explore the unknown? Director Yang, you finally told me the truth, right?"

Yang Chen chuckled, "Don't worry, the program crew is not that demanding. We will provide you with sleeping bags, cold-weather protection items, and medicines. We will also have professional medical first aid personnel, so nothing will really happen to you. But other than that, you will need to find all the daily necessities by yourselves."

Bi Yan immediately raised an objection, "This island is huge, and we have never been here before. It is unlikely that we will find food and water in such a short time."

"The production team will give you a map of the island with the distribution points, distances, and time required for each corner of the island marked on it. After you select a team leader, it will be given to your team leader for safekeeping."

"In addition, the program team has buried three tokens on this island. You will get a clue about the token every day. Each token can be exchanged for food once. If you find all three tokens, you will complete the mission and can leave the island at any time~"

A few people looked enlightened and they said that three days was a bit too long. Normally, a variety show would be recorded for a day and a night at most to prevent insufficient editing of the materials. However, they might have to sit in the camp for an entire afternoon or collect firewood for a whole day to survive on this deserted island. This would be too boring, so they simply added some materials, such as a main quest, so that there would be enough materials, which would avoid both insufficient materials and excessive materials and a waste of time.

After the rules were announced, the six people elected Wu Jiayou, who was physically fit and the oldest, as the team leader in accordance with the program team's requirements. He was responsible for keeping the map, arranging the division of labor among the team members, and distributing tools.

The program crew brought in a lot of express boxes. Wu Jiayou drew six boxes on behalf of all the members, and took out a dagger and an iron pot, as well as a fishing rod, a climbing rope, a windproof lighter, and a blade.

Except for the blade which is as big as a nail clipper, everything else is necessary for survival in the wild, which is pretty good.

After the tools were drawn, the program team quickly announced the clue to the first token, which consisted of only one line of words: Three Brothers, Li on the left and Jiang on the right.

"Three brothers? One is named Li and the other is named Jiang?"

Everyone was confused. None of them had the surname Li, let alone Jiang?

Wu Jiayou asked, "Director, don't you have any hints?"

Director Yang smiled and said, "When we lose our way on a deserted island, please always remember to look up at the stars above your head."

Stars? Jiang Wu's eyes moved slightly.

Several people subconsciously looked at Bi Yan. Bi Yan pondered for a moment and said helplessly, "I read a lot of wilderness survival encyclopedias and wild animal and plant illustrations before I came here. I don't know much about astronomy and astrology. It may take me some time to solve this mystery."

After hearing this, several people gave up the idea of ​​solving the mystery first. After all, even Bi Yan said that he couldn't figure it out for the time being, so it would be a waste of time for them to think about it.

Ji Ruoxuan comforted him, "The hidden Easter egg grand prize of the program group is not that easy to crack. It is normal that it is difficult to crack."

Jiang Wu had been silent until now, but suddenly said, "In fact, if we just look at the map for reference, we might be able to crack it."

Several people looked at him and didn't respond.

Wu Jiayou gave a fake smile, "Forget it, let's not waste our time. Bi Yan is from National Tsing Hua University, and even he doesn't know the answer. We poor students should not overestimate our abilities, right?"

He said "we", but in fact most of the team members are from professional acting schools. Guan Qi's parents are professors. Only Jiang Wu dropped out of high school. The others knew it very well but didn't say anything for a while. However, they agreed in their hearts. After all, the top students were explaining the difficult mystery, so why was he, a poor student, dancing in front of the camera?

Jiang Wu glanced at a few people and said calmly, "Okay."
