If they knew how popular this show was, spreading across Asia and attracting attention nationwide and even globally, they would probably cherish this opportunity even more and want to stay on Jinsha Island for a few more days, not just to gain fans, but also for their own value.
Nine days after its premiere, "Man vs. Wild" has maintained a daily online viewership of 300 million, with a peak of over 400 million viewers. It has not only sparked heated discussions on domestic social media, but also dominated related topics on major forums, Weibo, short video platforms, and international media platforms.
"Okay, hurry up and eat your fill. I'll take you hunting wild boars later." Li Yinsheng nodded and agreed.
Li Yinsheng agreed so readily, but firstly, whether they actually caught any wild boars was still a problem; perhaps by the time they finished eating, the two wild boars would have already left and disappeared.
Secondly, he had already discovered the two wild boars, and the viewers watching the live stream must have noticed as well. If he had kept it hidden and hadn't taken Brother Hu and the others with him, he might have been criticized by netizens.
In this era where traffic reigns supreme, even the smallest action can be amplified and become the focus of public opinion.
Li Yinsheng knew this well, so she chose the wisest course of action—to go hunting the wild boar with the members of Team C, which would both increase the fun of the show and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Thirdly, even if we take a step back and actually hunt this wild boar, do you think those four celebrities would really persist for three months to compete with me for the championship? Putting aside whether they can endure the hardship, with the system in my hands, why would I be afraid of them?
Besides, the four of them would be better off using this time to make money by filming movies, taking on commercials, and attending events.
They know exactly how to calculate this.
"Come here and weigh this coconut heart. It can be eaten and fill your stomach. It's not classified as a wild vegetable, so it counts towards your points." After Li Yinsheng finished processing the coconut heart, she called over the two staff members who had accompanied her to weigh it.
The two staff members who weighed the food must have been trained and knew which foods were safe to eat. Without hesitation, they took the electronic scale and placed the coconut heart on it.
The final weight was 8.9 jin (approximately 4.45 catties).
"Nine catties is worth three points. Add to that three catties of wild vegetables picked, which is worth one point, and one coconut, which is worth one point, for a total of five points," one of the staff members told Li Yinsheng after calculating the points.
"Great!" Li Yinsheng nodded, in a great mood. She had only been on the island for two hours and had already earned five points.
"Can we eat the heart of this coconut tree?" Reba asked upon seeing this.
"It's definitely edible. It tastes alright, similar in texture to water chestnuts, with a sweet flavor. It tastes even better when used in coconut chicken soup, enhancing the soup's flavor." Li Yinsheng cut off a piece for Reba and handed it to her.
She ate some herself, and also made a piece for Brother Hu and Wu Lei.
"It's very crisp, with a light coconut aroma, and very juicy. It's crunchy and sweet, and I personally think it tastes much better than coconut meat." Dilraba took the coconut heart, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
She took a careful bite, and instantly, a fresh and natural coconut aroma filled her mouth. Compared to the coconut meat she had tasted before, this coconut heart had a truly unique flavor.
A hint of surprise flashed in Brother Hu's eyes, and he quickly nodded, saying, "That's right."
Wu Lei nodded, agreeing that the taste of the coconut heart was indeed unique and unforgettable.
"Eat more, so you can go hunting wild boars later."
"There's no time to dig traps now. We'll see what happens. Lei Zi, you're young and strong, take the axe. Hu Ge, take the hoe. Reba, don't go. Gather some banana leaves and vines first. When we get back, we'll tidy up and set up the shelter a bit more." Li Yinsheng instructed them while eating.
After they finished breakfast, they packed their things and headed to the place where they had found the wild boar.
As Li Yinsheng, Hu Ge, and Wu Lei rushed towards the direction where the wild boar was discovered, the production team also released several videos in succession.
In these videos, staff members cleaning up Jinsha Island discovered a group of wild boars, cleared most of them away, leaving only a few on the island.
Two videos show how these two wild boars got into Group C's camp area.
There are also two videos: one of a wild boar within the activity range of the group D shelter, and another of a wild boar within the activity range of the group E shelter.
This move by the production team further confirms that there are no behind-the-scenes manipulations or scripts involved in the production.
As soon as these videos were released, the viewers watching the live stream went wild, with comments springing up like mushrooms after rain, covering the entire screen with dense text.
"Coconut heartwood isn't considered a wild vegetable, but the chubby girl took advantage of that."
"Haha, the production team is so thoughtful, leaving five wild boars on Jinsha Island. I wonder which team will be able to hunt them. I'm looking forward to it."
"This is going to be interesting! Five wild boars are spread out in three different areas. Let's see which group can demonstrate true survival skills and teamwork to capture the boars."
"However, wild boars aren't easy to deal with; they're extremely dangerous. Don't forget that the survival expert from Group D was gored by a wild boar and had to withdraw from the competition. I hope Fatty, Lao Hu, and Wu Lei can all be careful; safety first!"
"Keep going! You must succeed!"
"Safety first, please be careful!"
"What's the point of hunting! Those two wild boars are leaving."
"Damn it! Fatty and the others are going to have made a wasted trip."
"I'll keep watching those two wild boars and see where they go."
...
Meanwhile, Li Yinsheng and her two companions had approached the location where she had previously spotted the wild boar. They cautiously traversed the dense jungle, with Li Yinsheng frequently stopping to listen for any sounds around her, while simultaneously signaling Hu Ge and Wu Lei to remain vigilant.
However, the closer she got to the place where she had previously spotted the wild boar, the less she heard the previous 'grunt' sounds.
Li Yinsheng had some guesses in her mind. She walked quickly forward and looked at the mud pit where the two wild boars had rolled around.
The wild boars were nowhere to be seen in the mud pit, leaving only a patch of murky mud and a path marked by broken branches. Clearly, the two wild boars had left.
“We’re too late. The wild boar went in this direction,” Li Yinsheng said, pointing to a mark where a tree branch had been broken.
"Should we chase after them?" Wu Lei asked eagerly after finishing his meal.
"If we don't chase them, we won't know how far those two wild boars have gone. With what you just ate, there's no oil or fat left in your stomachs. Even if you catch up with the wild boars, do you think you can beat them to death? What if I manage to kill them and you don't have the strength to carry them back?"
"With this energy, you might as well do something else." Li Yinsheng turned and walked away without looking back, heading towards the place where she had found the cassava patch.
Now, she's going to become a farmer.
