Chapter 1032: Oh my, survival variety show meets ex! 02

The guests tagged by the Program Team all reposted and replied, with the content roughly the same.

Jin Chen also had to repost; he raised his brows, thought for a moment, then tapped out a message.

Jin Chen: Looking forward to the mysterious guest～

After unexpectedly retiring, he had been working as an outdoor adventure streamer for nearly two years, winning a large fanbase with his solid skills, and interacting meant mutual snark and sharp tongues.

He scrolled through comments and randomly replied to a few fans.

Happy Big Mango:?? What are you hyped about! Do you know him! (wiggles ears)

Jin Chen: (pulling his ears open loudly) I won't tell you!

Little Awake Sheep: Do better! Other guests are this popular; if you can't impress anyone, you'll lose face for the fans!

Jin Chen: Good! I'll perform electric welding on the island, blinding everyone!

Crazy Free: Mom!! Chengzi, are you broke again! You'd even take this kind of show!

Jin Chen: Not broke; if I go broke next time, I'll hang you as salted fish. Also, I'm not a fruit!

Nightly Riches: Bro Jin, remember to speak less vulgarity and less sharp-tongued on the show! This is a big program everyone can see! Don't make the fans lose face!

Jin Chen: Sweep aside morality, return to myself!

After a bunch of chaotic replies, fans: "……"

So you still didn't say what your relationship is with Mysterious Person Y!

Jin Chen, satisfied, put down his phone.

——

Three days later, on the shore of a deserted island.

Helicopters landed one after another, and all guests arrived on the island successively.

Suddenly, several guests' gazes fixed on the person stepping off the helicopter; even those who had been in the entertainment industry for years flashed a hint of astonishment.

The person was tall and handsome, slender and upright; even in a simple assault jacket his sharpness showed, but his relaxed temperament dispelled some of the sharpness, making him a presence instantly noticeable in the crowd.

As Jin Chen descended from the helicopter with his pack, he noticed most guests had already arrived, felt several gazes observing him, looked up, and waved, saying "hi".

At the same time, he silently divided factions in his mind, after all in the original plot several guests had colluded with Lin Gui, bullying the honest Yu Sui to no small extent.

"【Here they come!! So many handsome guys and beautiful girls! Looking at them makes my eyes light up, light up again and again!】"

"【This guy named Jin Chen is so handsome, damn!! His proportions are perfect! He's actually not worse than entertainers… no, he's even more handsome than some god-faced idol in there!】"

"【If you don't want to get scolded upstairs, don't bring that person; his fans are notoriously…】"

"Hello, I'm Xie Shao, nice to meet you!"

Although Xie Shao isn't as tall as Jin Chen, being a martial arts actor, his whole body full of tendonous muscle looks quite sturdy.

He's very outgoing; in this short while, everyone already got to know each other.

But Jin Chen didn't want to deal with him.

This jerk is also in Lin Gui's faction! He'll later fight Yu Sui for supplies.

Jin Chen gave a cool nod, "En."

He completely ignored He Chao's outstretched hand.

He Chao: "……"

Just wondering if this person's persona was just a cool act, suddenly I saw Jin Chen's eyes flash a smile, and he stepped forward.

He Chao followed the gaze, seeing the last helicopter; it must be Mysterious Person Y.

Not only him, everyone's attention was drawn.

The Program Team's hype was spot-on; internally they told the guests that Mysterious Person Y was a professional special agent from Echoing International.

So they naturally guessed this person must be a tall, sturdy man.

But the result was beyond belief.

Coming down the helicopter ladder was a person wearing a huge, intimidating backpack, dressed in black clothes and black hair… a youth.

Although his age is unknown, describing him as a boy couldn't be more accurate.

His skin was cold white, his black eyes like ink; his appearance was truly adorable, full of youthful vigor, but he held a sharp dagger, his pupils icy cold, making him impossible to ignore.

While everyone was stunned, only Jin Chen strode forward, his combat boots crunching on dry twigs, drawing Yu Sui's wary gaze.

Then the two unexpectedly locked eyes.

Yu Sui suddenly froze, pupils constricting, his forward steps halted.

In stark contrast, Jin Chen wore a carefree smile at the corner of his mouth, waved at him, and said, "Long time no see."

【Detected the villain of this world's plot, triggering Blackening Value; currently Blackening Value 40.】

【Mission requires Blackening Value to be cleared, to change the villain's tragic ending.】

"How come you're also here?"

Although they hadn't seen each other in nearly two years, Yu Sui knew that face by heart; the deliberately buried memory resurfaced, mixed with an inexplicable flutter at seeing him again.

Jin Chen let out a light chuckle from his throat, "What a coincidence, I'm a guest."

Yu Sui: "……"

Is it still possible to quit the mission and go back now?

Jin Chen seemed to see through his thoughts, continued walking toward him, "The mission must be taken seriously."

Yu Sui frowned, torn, solemn: "Don't come near me."

"Can't do it," Jin Chen raised his brows, "or else you just endure it?"

Yu Sui glared at him and said nothing.

Their interaction was seen by everyone.

Leaving aside the special agent label, he's actually a boy who looks like a total weakling.

What's with the weird atmosphere between you two!

Welcome, guests, to Twilight Island. Please listen carefully to the mission rules.

The last helicopter didn't rush to leave; the director's voice came from above.

This shoot lasts 30 days. Before it starts, the only supplies are each guest's backpack and the food rations for the first day.

Twilight Island is covered with smart cameras, and drones film from above at any time. Note: once the mission starts, any behavior is allowed.

Every six days is a phase; after each six days, the audience votes, and the highest vote-getter receives that phase's Survival King title, earning extra airdrop supplies. There are five phases total, and ultimately an Ultimate Survival King will be selected, with a prize of 500 million.

The first stage's goal is to find the map scattered across the desolate island; the map is divided into four pieces hidden in different places. Now, please guests, head to the forest to look for clues to the map's hiding spots.

Jin Chen complained, "A nesting-doll map."

He was complaining over there, and after hearing the task, Yu Sui, walking in front, had already entered the forest.

Jin Chen followed closely behind, lagging a few steps.

Their backpacks were one large and one small, forming a stark contrast.

〖Wait... didn't the Program Team say at the start that each guest could bring supplies in a backpack? Why did Jin Chen only bring this little? ？〗

〖And they're an outdoor exploration streamer, yet this backpack is so empty. 〗

〖Hey! You know nothing about Jin Die Die's abilities. 〗
