Chapter 31: The Wilderness Challenge

The world will not come to a standstill because of any one person's departure.

The wilderness challenge program, naturally, will not pause because of Mo Mo De Kai En's departure.

On the contrary, the people who remained, after Mo Mo De Kai En's departure, constantly and carefully learned from his failure, perfecting their own survival skills in the wilderness.

Then, they strove to stay in the program longer, until they won the final ten-million grand prize.

As for Xiao Yi, at this moment, after drinking the fish soup that had already warmed up, he directly began his tasks for the day.

Today, he had to take the clay out of that cave and then build a heated brick bed.

After tidying himself up, he picked up four grass baskets with a wooden stick and headed straight toward the direction of the cave.

Because he had left a mark on a tree last time, Xiao Yi did not need to rely on his memory and sense of smell to search this time.

"Hmm! This smell is so familiar? It's the scent of that clumsy bear."

Arriving not far from the cave and looking at the pitch-black entrance, his keen sense of smell gave his brain the most direct feedback.

This immediately caused Xiao Yi's expression to change; his entire body became cautious and alert, and at the same time, he subconsciously put down the grass baskets and gripped the wooden stick in his hand tightly.

The excitement of finding the clay the day before yesterday and the scent of the clay itself had made him instinctively ignore the scent of that clumsy bear.

Today, when he arrived here again, the scent related to the clumsy bear, which was distinct from the clay's scent, was something he could smell very directly.

It really is a small world; he had originally thought he would never see that clumsy bear again, but he hadn't expected to smell its scent in this cave again today.

It's hard to say if it's lucky or unlucky.

Xiao Yi's actions, however, caused everyone in his broadcast room to start discussing.

Now, Xiao Yi's broadcast room, after the initial peak brought by the public account's promotion, saw the number of viewers and the heat start to slowly decline.

But this decline was only in comparison to the time when Xiao Yi's broadcast room had the most viewers.

For these past two days, the number of viewers in Xiao Yi's broadcast room remained very stable; when he woke up in the morning, about one million people chose to leave their devices on overnight to watch him sleep.

Then, the number of viewers slowly began to rise; when the number reached four million, it started to fluctuate, and by the time he went to sleep, the number began to drop again.

"What is the Great God doing? Why is he being so dawdling? Didn't he smoke out the cave with smoke the day before yesterday?"

"Normal! Have you forgotten that the Great God always puts stability first? Today, Mo Mo De Kai En was just eliminated; how could the Great God not be alert?"

"Being alert is proper, but Xiao Shen seems a bit off right now; he feels too cautious, as if he is facing a formidable enemy."

"Hmm? Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel like that's the case too."

"Damn, the Great God wouldn't have encountered some large beast again, would he! This would be too miserable."

"No way! He's just getting some soil, and besides, my Qingning didn't 'poison milk' the Great God today; he shouldn't be that unlucky."

……

……

At this moment, the three people in the main broadcast room were also full of confusion; why did Xiao Yi, upon arriving in front of the cave, not only fail to move forward but instead stop in his tracks?

"Qingning, what do you think contestant No. 6, Xiao Yi, is doing?"

Cai Luo Han, on the side, looked toward Yang Qingning and asked; for these past two days, he had also started to become superstitious about 'Lemonology'.

Moreover, he knew that Yang Qingning quite liked Xiao Yi, so now he was eager for her to say a few more good words about Xiao Yi.

"Damn, Sister Ning, you can't say too much! The Great God's plan for a heated brick bed and log cabin isn't easy."

"A ten-year fan here uninvited; if it really doesn't work, Ningning, just say a few bad words! After you say them, I'll immediately turn from a passerby into a fan."

"I support my Ning in praising Xiao Shen a couple of times; what's the point of watching the Great God build a house? It's really not as good as the Great God putting on some exciting segments."

"I'm wondering, what kind of mentality do you have? How did my Great God offend you?"

"I support my Sister Ning in saying a few bad things!"

"Right, the worse, the better!"

"Sister Ning, you are a positive-energy star; you can't sabotage my Great God. The worse you say, the better; it's best to hope my Great God encounters dangerous situations."

……

……

Yang Qingning: "……"

After hearing Cai Luo Han's words, Yang Qingning immediately frowned.

If she, Yang Qingning, couldn't even see through Cai Luo Han's little schemes, she wouldn't have been able to make a name for herself in the chaotic entertainment industry.

Therefore, she felt a sufficient amount of disgust toward Cai Luo Han's behavior, and naturally, the same went for the person himself.

People with only petty cleverness like this don't stay popular for long in the entertainment industry.

Yang Qingning understood that remaining silent at this moment was the most correct choice.

Because if she said something good, she would definitely be flamed by some of Xiao Yi's wilderness fans.

If she said something bad, she would be flamed by some uninformed new passerby fans.

However, even so, what do these guys in the broadcast room's bullet screen area mean?

Seeing the comments from everyone in the broadcast room, she was immediately left between laughter and tears.

Thinking of this 'poison milk' persona, Yang Qingning felt truly helpless.

Clearly, this persona is very easy to collapse, but how has it still not collapsed until now?

Instead, it is being believed by more and more people, and it has even infected the mindset of some people around her and in the broadcast room.

However, Yang Qingning is definitely a 'little fox' level character, and she subsequently said with a smile:

"After all, I am a wilderness newcomer; regarding the current state of Great God Xiao Yi, it's not good for me to make rash conclusions, lest I become a laughingstock."

"But in our broadcast room, isn't there still a wilderness Great God? Bear Grylls, can you tell us your guess?"

Seeing Yang Qingning directly pass the topic to Bear Grylls, Cai Luo Han felt somewhat disappointed and regretful.

And the translator next to Bear Grylls also translated Yang Qingning's words for him; hearing this, Bear Grylls said quite definitively:

"Based on my intuition, Xiao has definitely encountered a formidable enemy in his current state."

Xiao Yi's current expression and actions are almost the same as the state he was in when he first saw a lion.

That is why Bear Grylls spoke so definitively.

Just not long after Bear Grylls finished saying this, sure enough, they saw Xiao Yi bitterly say toward the direction of the drone:

"Everyone, our luck might not be very good; I smelled the scent of that clumsy bear inside this cave."

"Oh roar! I was originally drowsy, but suddenly I'm full of energy."

"Damn, my Great God and Xiong Zai are really in a love-hate relationship; they are so fated!"

"Haha, this is my favorite segment of watching this program, but the Great God must be careful."

"That's right, I was attracted here by Xiong Zai; I originally thought the Great God and Xiong Zai would never meet again, but it seems Heaven also likes this CP of my Great God and Xiong Zai."

"Sure enough, Xiong Zai is my Great God's lifelong enemy!"

……

……

Xiao Yi's words immediately caused a thousand waves in the broadcast room.

He thought that encountering that clumsy bear was very unlucky, but the audience didn't think so.

That clumsy bear had gained countless fans in Xiao Yi's broadcast room, and even half of the people came for that clumsy bear.

At this moment, hearing that Xiao Yi had encountered that clumsy bear again, they all became excited and shouted "Exciting!" one after another.

At this time, Yang Qingning in the main broadcast room was somewhat dumbfounded; she had originally been dismissive in her heart, thinking that Xiao Yi was just thinking about a problem, and how could one person be so unlucky?

Could it be that her 'poison milk' level has already reached this degree?

Subsequently, she felt secretly fortunate that she hadn't foolishly been led into it by Cai Luo Han.

Otherwise, the name of 'poison milk' might have become even more prominent today.

She hadn't expected that her, Yang Qingning's, lifelong reputation would actually be ruined in this program.

What were the evaluations of her from the outside world originally? A representative of the young generation's acting skills, one of the four little flower dancers, the successor to the Best Actress, and a rare actor of the young generation with both strength and popularity.

And now? Yang Qingning, I know her! Isn't she that 'poison milk' girl?
