Chapter 75
For the first time since the overseas competition, Xia Entang slept so far away from Chu Huaiqin—two people between them. Unhappily lying next to Su Huaichen, Xia Entang took a while to recover from his unhappiness and slowly fell asleep.
While Team Gun Gun was settling down, the situation wasn't so good for the few teams that had just landed on the island today. Looking at the crazy-spinning compass, almost all of them had gloomy faces. Some of the contestants from these teams had bad tempers and started cursing at the director team directly.
"These teams are from regions where the entertainment industry isn't very developed. Should we screen them next year?"
"Several teams here are participating for the first time. They're only interested in the international resources that have been shown in previous years, and they lack any wilderness survival spirit."
"Why is there no spirit for survival in the wild? Who is missing? In the wild, whoever survives wins, whoever is the king, understand?"
On that day, almost all the participating teams landed on the island one after another. Island A was the last to arrive, just able to catch the last rays of sunset. But they were lucky, unlike Chu Huaiqin and his team, who were not attacked by sharks.
After statistics, we found that in addition to the three teams on Island C and the Gungun team, there were nine other teams that had landed. However, not all the members of each team had arrived. Some of the members of some teams voluntarily or were forced to withdraw from the competition for various reasons before landing on the island.
With so many teams logging in, the campsite became crowded. The Peacock Nation and the Sheep Nation had always had a grudge, so when the BMW team arrived, after a few words, they agreed to bring their subordinates, the Monkey Team and the Vientiane Team, to the Sheep Nation and demand that they give up their space. The five of them finally got angry. Even saints have their own limits. How could they possibly give in?
So the two groups clashed, but the drone stopped just a dozen seconds after they started fighting. Even so, the five members of the Sheep Team were still slightly injured.
Director Li from the chief director team rubbed his brows. Foreign reality shows always have a bit of violence, which is inevitable. Domestic contestants have also been injured in previous years. Fortunately, Chu Huaiqin and his team are still strong this year. They are the only ones who beat people up, and they will find a way to get it back if they lose the ground. This allows him not to worry too much.
"Just wait for this bunch of barbarians."
"Except for the Rolling Team, is there really no one who can deal with them?"
"It's so infuriating. Replaying the two-on-ten battle from before makes me feel relieved."
"When we talked about keeping the Rolling Team out of international competitions, Peacock and Monkey were the most excited. Oh, and there's also Korea, Japan, the Dapeng Team, and so on. They know they can't stop them, so they're looking for someone to vent their anger on? Cowards." "Half the people here have been beaten by the Rolling Team. Talking about keeping them out is a joke. And I hate these teams. Eliminate them now!"
"No, don't listen to the fans of the Rollers. Our team is very good."
"We are not blind."
The audience in the live broadcast room were still clear-headed. Several teams with more developed entertainment industries did not show such bullying behavior on camera. Instead, people from several small regions were jumping around. As for why Peacock Country, an entertainment powerhouse that ranks among the top five in Asia, is so arrogant, in addition to having their director in the chief director group, the Peacock Country people are also famous for their anti-intellectualism in the international community, which is not surprising.
So when the audience outside the stadium began to dislike them, they were still feeling proud of themselves, thinking that they could bully the sheep country, which was patriotism and they would definitely be praised.
The most surprising thing was that Sang Kingdom, the team that was rescued by Chu Huaiqin and others, did not make it out this time.
But even so, it's still upsetting.
After the fight, the Sheep Nation didn't move from their original campsite, but their space was reduced. After settling down, the Sheep Nation took out their stored food and, instead of using tinder to light a fire, used wood drills like everyone else.
The live broadcast room sighed and said that he had matured.
As the night deepened, many people slept after a quick bite. The wind rustled leaves, mingling with the sound of the waves. The shadows of the trees swayed in the moonlight, accompanied by an unidentified hissing sound. The director, who was eating noodles, suddenly jumped up, startled.
"What's wrong?" The person who spoke was a member of the sub-director team, looking at the director who suddenly jumped up in surprise.
"It's okay. Just be alert when you go to bed tonight." The director sat down and munched on his noodles without any appetite. "We'll see if there are any obstacles nearby and get some back."
"What do you mean?" The sub-director was shocked. Today, they received a message from the chief director saying that the Rolling Team had encountered a giant snake and asked them to be careful. The hunting dogs would be delivered tomorrow. He thought there was nothing to worry about. Now the sub-director was saying that the thing might appear here?
The deputy director didn't say anything, but just ate the noodles in silence.
This director wasn't the only one worried. The other directors were equally uneasy. After hearing his conversation with the staff, they discussed it and unanimously decided to sleep with the lights on tonight and build a few more fires. Snakes aren't afraid of light, but it reassures them. Fire can be a bit of a deterrent.
As the night deepened, the huge body left under the cover of darkness.
The next day, Chu Huaiqin and the others slept soundly. The director, on the other hand, didn't sleep much. Seeing how energetic they were, he felt a surge of resentment. He had just seen the giant snake during the day, so how could he sleep so well at night?
After getting up, everyone roasted three potatoes and a little dried fish. Since they had no salt, they didn't dare to prepare more. After this meal, they were gone. The potatoes were just a filling. The main meal was bananas. After all, the two bunches of ripe bananas would rot if they were not eaten quickly.
After breakfast, everyone was not in a hurry to set off. Instead, they went to remove a lot of obstacles. Two backpacks were filled. The little monk and Xia Entang carried one each, and the other three wrapped some around their wrists, waists, and feet. They also made a straw hat and put it on their heads. With the camouflage uniforms, they looked like soldiers walking outside.
After getting ready, they set off. Besides traveling, their main goal today was to find water and food. It was summer, and on a tropical island, so even walking under the shade of trees meant they still needed a lot of water. The five of them were using a frightening amount. As the coconut bottles emptied one by one, the monk became increasingly anxious.
Each of them held a stick in their hand and knocked the grass as they walked. I don’t know if it was due to psychological reasons, but they actually felt that they had blocked the road with obstacles, and even the small snakes ran away when they saw them.
Chu Huaiqin and his team were very far away, but the thirteen teams behind them were not in such a good situation. The constant appearance of snakes and lizards scared many people so much that they screamed and shouted "bad luck".
The five-person team walked until noon, when the sun was high in the sky. They stopped to drink some water and then lit a fire to bake potatoes.
"Brother, how long will it take us to get there?" The little monk collapsed on the ground, motionless, holding the coconut pot and wanting to take another sip, but seeing that there were only a few left, he licked his lips and endured it.
"It's hard to say. We only measured the distance to the watchtower based on vision. It should be reachable within three days." Chu Huaiqin felt that it would not be that simple. There was only half a month left. Would the director team let the contestants win the championship so easily?
"I think I can climb to the top of the tree and take a look." The little monk nodded, thinking it was a good idea.
"I think we can go find some water." Chu Huaiqin said with a smile. It would take some time to bake the potatoes, and Chu Huaiqin wanted to use this time to look around. Not only were their water sources almost gone, but even the potatoes they had saved on food were few and far between.
"Then I'll go with my brother!" The little monk reluctantly put down the water and put on the backpack, which was his magic weapon for safety.
"Wait, I'll go," Xia En, who was roasting potatoes, grabbed the monk's back and pulled him back, pressing him against the fire. He said in a deep voice, "I think I can be more useful than him."
Xia Entang's words were so arrogant that the little monk was unhappy. He was about to retort, but when he thought about the trouble he had caused yesterday, he was suddenly speechless.
"I'm just going out for a walk, anyone can do it." Chu Huaiqin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
In the end, the little monk gave up, Xia Entang and Chu Huaiqin left, leaving the little monk with Lin Zhinan and Su Huaichen.
The three of them stared at the fire and chatted, wondering how long it would take, what prizes might be placed on the watchtower, and whether it might be a script for a certain international fire series. They were so focused that they didn't notice someone approaching from behind, but the livestream was abuzz with anxiety, especially among the Chinese audience.
Before Chu Huaiqin arrived at this place, two of the three teams that had arrived on the island earlier had already stayed here for two days because they had no food, preparing to find enough food before setting off again. Unfortunately, food was scarce on the island, and they searched for bananas. They were about to change their route and walk along the coast when Chu Huaiqin and his team arrived.
I haven't eaten enough for two days, and I smell the smell of potatoes. There's no way I can control myself.
Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang had walked a distance when they heard the shouting. They exchanged a glance and quickly turned back, their speed drawing attention. The domestic audience in the livestream had no time to cheer. They were so enraged they wanted to crawl through their computers and online to kick these people off. The more compassionate ones were already crying.
"You bastards, they actually stole things. Go back quickly and kill them."
"How despicable! These teams are all garbage. Is this survival in the wild? This is robbery."
"I'm so angry, so angry, dear brother, revenge."
"Ohhh, here comes the best part of every year."
“Hahaha, I’m so looking forward to it!”
Some people are angry, while others find it interesting. In their eyes, stealing is also a part of survival in the wild. Finding food and protecting food are both tests.
Of course, the foreign audiences were watching the fun. The domestic audiences were so angry that they had no time to pay attention to them. Their attention was all on the scene.
"Little monk, don't go..."
Chu Huaiqin and Xia Entang ran back and heard Su Huaichen's cry. Turning around, they saw the little monk chasing after the people who had robbed him, yelling and screaming, trying to get them to stop. But how could they possibly return the things they had taken? The group of people even turned around and stuck their tongues out at the little monk, making him so angry that his eyes widened.
Chu Huaiqin's heart sank, "Xia Entropy, you stay."
After saying this, Chu Huaiqin quickly chased after him.

I Conquered the Empire with Brewing [Live]
Also known as "I'm Being Targeted by the Tyrant"
Chu Shaobai was born into a family of winemakers. His life was all about wine, until one day he accidentally traveled to the interstellar era. He had no idea how to make wine, so he had to start live streaming to make a living. At the beginning, the style of the live streaming room was like this:
"There's nothing in this livestreaming room except the host's face."
"Speaking of which, in this day and age, there are still people making wine by hand. Doesn't the host know that there's a term called machine brewing in this world?"
"A pot of wine takes a season to brew. Host, the weather is getting cold, put away the clothes!"
"Host, the snacks you make are definitely better than the wine. Why don't you switch to selling snacks?"
"Alas, poor thing, this live broadcast room is so cold. For the sake of the host's face, I will give you some popularity!"
Until someone discovered:
A glass of wine calmed Riot's spirit. It was said that he even brought the dead back to life.
A glass of wine can heal decades of pain. I heard that even the lame can stand up again.
A glass of wine makes the wrinkles less. I heard that the old lady turned into a girl.
Chu Shaobai shook his head: No, it’s really not that magical, it’s just a little bit magical.
A certain scholar said: "This pot, this pot, this pot, I want them all."
A certain richest man: "This car, this car, this car, I want them all."
A certain general: "Come on, waiter, take all this wine away from me."
The imperial tyrant came out wearing a pink apron and a small pompadour on his head: Who are you calling, waiter?
Everyone was terrified and asked anxiously: Is it too late to die now?
