Chapter 1034: Oh wow, survival variety show runs into an ex! 04

Lin Gui finished speaking, then looked toward the other guests, "What does everyone think?"

Xie Shao quickly chimed in, "I also think the map should be shared; other supplies can be whatever, but without a map, who can guarantee we can survive on this deserted island?"

Once someone started, others echoed in agreement; after going around, most agreed to share the map.

Finally, Lin Gui asked Yu Sui, "What do you think?"

Yu Sui: "You're so noisy."

These people are chattering noisily.

Lin Gui: "……"

Jin Chen chuckled, slowly spreading out the map, "Sharing is fine."

Anyway, this map is fishy, half true half false; I guess the Program Team did it on purpose.

But even if they agreed, they would first show it to Yu Sui; the boy standing nearby lowered his head to examine the map seriously, also noticed something off, lifted his eyes and met Jin Chen's gaze, frowning slightly.

Jin Chen flicked his fingers, couldn't resist ruffling Yu Sui's hair, soft and fluffy, "Just look at yours, don't meddle."

He spoke in a low voice, only Yu Sui could hear.

But what kept Yu Sui from speaking wasn't Jin Chen's advice, but the strange feeling from having his head rubbed.

"... Don't touch my head." His pale little face tensed, as if displeased.

"You've gotten fierce, huh."

Jin Chen teased, then rubbed his head again.

"You're annoying."

Yu Sui raised his dagger toward him, as a warning.

"Alright, be careful not to hurt yourself." Jin Chen pushed the dagger aside, the corners of his mouth still slightly upturned.

After Yu Sui finished looking, both of them had memorized the map completely.

Jin Chen casually tossed it to Lin Gui, "Here, you living Bodhisattva."

"Thank you."

Lin Gui's expression was downcast, as if sacrificing himself for everyone; even when mocked, he gave Jin Chen a smile.

"Hey, how do you talk like that."

On the contrary, Xie Shao was dissatisfied, "We're all teammates now; sharing the map is important."

Jin Chen: "I just said that to piss you off."

He casually glanced at He Chao, nonchalant.

〖Hahaha, this is the correct way to open Jin Chen's snarky mode! 〗

〖?? This Jin Chen is so arrogant! What's the big deal about finding the first map? On what grounds does he scold Lin Gui? 〗

〖Lol, just an influencer with a few hundred thousand fans, acting like a big shot on the show?? Our Lin Gui hasn't provoked any washed-up nobody. 〗

〖Heads up everyone~ Chengzi is like this, if you scold him you can't scold his fans either~ backlash! 〗

〖How come your Lin Gui didn't find the first map? Is he unwilling? Oh~ turns out he couldn't find it, so he's just morally blackmailing~〗

Perhaps because he was just mocked, Lin Gui summoned twelvefold spirit for the next search, thinking that with his good luck he could somehow find a map fragment.

Finally, on a very tall, slender pine tree, Lin Gui once again saw the map placed by the Program Team.

It was hidden high up; the pine tree was straight as a pole, with no tools to climb, looking rather dangerous.

Lin Gui was very excited, about to say he'd found it, fingers already outstretched, when he heard Jin Chen call out, "Second one!"

Jin Chen's voice drew the guests' attention; everyone looked over, and Shen Yi praised, "Jin Chen, your eyesight is amazing!"

Lin Gui stomped his foot, feeling a bit discouraged.

Without good luck, still finding it this quickly—Jin Chen is really… too impressive.

Who would have thought He Chao noticed as well, "You saw it just now too, right? Just a bit slow with your hands, no problem."

Lin Gui didn't expect senior He Chao to pay so much attention to him, feeling a little flutter, "Yeah, I noticed, thank you for the praise, senior."

Jin Chen observed the tree's height, then without hesitation grabbed Yu Sui's

shoulder and gave a light pat, "I'll leave it to you."

Yu Sui frowned, "Why?"

"The tree's too tall for me to climb." His tone was utterly justified.

Yu Sui seemed to have heard a joke, staring strangely at Jin Chen, "How could that be."

Not to mention it's just under twenty meters; even before, Jin Chen never said he couldn't free-climb skyscrapers.

"I'll give it a try!"

Xie Shao cracked his knuckles, as if finally finding a chance to show off, "Everyone, just wait!"

After all, being a martial arts background, his agility and strength are far above ordinary people's.

Xie Shao's initial climb went fairly smoothly, but the tree was simply too straight and towering; at around six meters, his whole body tensed with no leverage point, so he couldn't go higher.

He strained his legs, eventually gave up, slowly slid down, his face embarrassed, making excuses for himself.

"Sorry, everyone, this tree is too tall; there are no lower branches to gain leverage from."

Shen Yi and Su Nai also tried respectively; the athlete and fitness trainer had relatively strong stamina and endurance, but the highest Shen Yi managed was ten meters, then he ran out of strength and had to quit.

Shen Yi, hands on hips, panted, "Heavenly Bodhisattva, I'm not this tired even after finishing a race; how can a tree be this slippery?"

They couldn't do it, so the other guests certainly couldn't either.

Thus, hope could only be placed on Jin Chen and Yu Sui.

And Jin Chen clearly had no intention of climbing up, carrying out his laziness to the end.

Yu Sui put down his backpack, moved nimbly, leapt onto the tree; amid the guests' complex or admiring gazes, he soon reached the branch where the map was placed.

He hesitated, glanced downward, then tossed the map to Jin Chen.

"Ouch." Jin Chen jumped in surprise, hurried over to catch it.

Yu Sui's grip was strong; Jin Chen took the map, stepped back two steps, switched hands to hold it, and leisurely watched Yu Sui jump down from the tree and land steadily.

"Was that deliberate retaliation?"

Yu Sui kept a straight face, "... I didn't."

Jin Chen handed the map back to him, "You found it, you look at it first."

Yu Sui took it, lowering his gaze to look.

Like the previous one, half true and half false, it's obvious someone has altered it.

"Can we rest a while?" Bai Xuan asked weakly, her lovely face drenched with sweat, "It's almost noon; we should be able to eat soon, right?"

Jiang Ting raised his hand, "I agree!"

Everyone chose a spot under a clear tree, preparing to have lunch right there.

The first day's food rations were the same for everyone—not tasty, but very filling.

Some guests chose to eat what they brought first, only turning to the rations when there was nothing else good to eat.

After half a day of tension, their nerves eased a bit while eating, but Jiang Ting was still pondering the task he had heard.

"What do you mean by 'any behavior is allowed'? What other behavior could there be on a deserted island survival?"

Lin Gui laughed, "Maybe it refers to hunting behavior; there's a month, and later we'll definitely have to hunt for food."

Zhong He, who had always been inconspicuous, took off his earphones, his cold cap still shielding his brows and eyes, and suddenly interjected.

"Stealing things, killing people—all can be allowed."

"Cough cough cough cough…!!"

Bai Xuan, sitting beside him, was startled by those words, choked up, and hastily shifted to the other side.

Shen Yi gave him a strange look, "Why would you think that?"

Normal people……probably wouldn't think about killing, right?
