Chapter 114: Who Is the True Top Flow King of the Entertainment Industry!
Time flew by, and when Xiao Yi woke up again, it was the fortieth day of the show *Wild Challenge: 100 Days in the Arctic*.
Naturally, this meant two-fifths of the journey had been completed.
Compared to the first twenty days, only Mo De had left due to unavoidable physical factors.
The second twenty days were even harsher and more difficult.
Due to factors like food and mindset, Wu De, Zhong Yicheng, and Wei Wenchang all quit the show in succession.
Of the original ten contestants, only six remained.
Among these six, Wang Xing from Live Room #1 was exceptionally resilient.
This guy had been sailing smoothly these past days, with plenty of food in reserve.
Since recovering from his injury and Yang Qingning’s departure, Wang Xing had shown everyone just how versatile a soldier could be in the wild.
Mu Tingwei from Live Room #3, though, had struggled mentally these past two days.
But seeing how close he was to the prize zone, he gritted his teeth and held on.
Next among those still remaining was Wu En from Live Room #5, the “Wolf Millionaire.”
Though he’d faced minor setbacks recently and nearly got himself sent home.
But Qiangzhezhongjiushiqiangzhe —Wu En’s health had clearly improved these past two days, and his spirit was brimming with determination.
Watching the wolf packs that kept harassing him, Wu En suddenly found wilderness life rich and vibrant.
This was exactly the scenario Wu En had originally imagined for the Arctic wilderness.
He’d even drafted a hunting plan: after two more days of rest to restore his peak condition, he’d go after those four wolves.
Next among those still here was naturally Xiao Yi from Live Room #6—there was nothing much to say about his boring, mundane wilderness routine.
The man who slapped bear heads with his left hand and punched lynxes with his right—purely a wilderness demon king.
After Xiao Yi came Liu Hong from Live Room #8, the queen of self-sabotage.
Since being bitten by a rabbit these past two days, she’d become far more cautious around prey.
She no longer boasted to the live audience after securing food, as she used to.
Still, this girl maintained an excellent mindset—after all, only someone with normal mental resilience could volunteer for Africa’s wild nature reserves.
The last one remaining was Jiang Yiyi, though her condition wasn’t good.
The cold environment still hadn’t suited her; she was showing early signs of a cold again.
To prevent another cold, Jiang Yiyi stayed inside her shelter except for essential outings.
…
…
Of course, today was a special day for the entire production team.
The second batch of guest stars in the main live room had reached their departure time.
For Xiao Yi, compared to the first batch’s “Poisonous Blessing King” Yang Qingning, the second batch was far better.
After all, Yang Qingning’s aura was downright terrifying—who wasn’t afraid of her blessings? In that light, Bai Lin seemed harmless.
And this girl was not only tall and beautiful—this mattered a lot. Not that Yang Qingning wasn’t beautiful, but Xiao Yi had felt… something about her.
Of course, the male guest’s quiet demeanor and good looks were also a major plus for the second batch.
“Friends, we’re now connecting to all the sub-live rooms to bid farewell to our celebrity guests and send them our best wishes.”
Same scene, same host, nearly identical words.
The only difference: last time, these words welcomed Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu; now, they bid them farewell.
Yet Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu in the main live room stared helplessly at the comment section.
“Wasn’t the show supposed to say my king is coming today? Where’s my king? Twenty-year fan, showing up uninvited!”
“Looking forward, looking forward—my king hasn’t appeared on a show in ages; if he doesn’t come soon, I’ve already forgotten what he looks like!”
“Fake fan? You’d probably see him on the road and still not believe it’s really him!”
“Haha, haha! Real life—his recent photos really did ‘amaze’ me.”
“I’m not here to watch the stream—I just want to ask: when’s my king releasing new music? An album’s out of the question; just one new song would do. It’s been three years already—if he doesn’t release anything soon, even if I get roasted, I’ll curse him to gain twenty more jin.”
“Cough, cough—as a diehard fan of my king, logically, if you dare curse him, I should definitely ‘keyboard-war’ you. But seeing your request, I suddenly realized all twenty-six letters on my keyboard mysteriously broke.”
“Coincidence! My keyboard’s broken too!”
“Hehe, today’s guests include Zhang Tianhou—I’m her diehard fan. No one disagrees she’s among the top three female vocalists in the industry right now, right?”
“If you say she’s number one, I’d have some objections—even though I’m not her fan, I still agree she’s in the top three.”
“The sight of the king and queen together is truly rare.”
“Actually, the king and queen appearing together isn’t that rare—every year at China’s Golden Melody Awards, some kings and queens show up. But for these two to appear together? Extremely rare—they’ve both avoided such events for ten years.”
“Exactly! Seeing them makes me automatically recall the legendary battles on music charts over a decade ago. Sigh—those days are gone forever.”
“Pity Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu—guys, today’s their departure day! Show some respect!”
“Yeah! My Ren probably feels heartbroken reading these comments.”
“No way—he’s leaving happily! Old fans know my Ren is a diehard fan of Zhou Tianwang; meeting his idol, how could he be sad?”
“Funny—I’m also Bai Lin’s idol is Zhou Tianwang, and she loves Zhang Tianhou too. In terms of idols, Bai Lin’s actually kind of ‘player’—she likes too many.”
…
…
Though Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu felt bittersweet, they were also somewhat pleased.
At least two-tenths of the comments still revolved around them.
Given the identity of the next guests, Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu had already anticipated this outcome.
After all, these two newcomers were simply too overwhelming—no exaggeration.
Who among this generation of celebrities didn’t grow up listening to Zhou Tianwang and Zhang Tianhou?
And this was their first variety show appearance after nearly a decade of semi-retirement—imagine the pull for their fans.
That they still held two-tenths of the commentary attention under these circumstances was more than enough to make them proud.
Still, they couldn’t help resenting YinFu Company for placing these two after them.
They were surely the unluckiest departing guests.
At the same time, Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu felt a touch of schadenfreude—perhaps the fourth group of guests would look even more helpless and pitiful.
Of course, YinFu’s production team didn’t care about Bai Lin and Ren Qingyu’s feelings.
The entire crew was nearly ecstatic.
Even before the two stars arrived, the main live room’s viewership had already surpassed thirty million, setting a new record for the show.
If they actually appeared, the main live room would go absolutely berserk.
Naturally, this implicitly answered the question: who is the true top flow king of the entertainment industry?
