Chapter 149 - The Reversal in the Livestream

With such predictions in mind, after the official challenge began, the audience chose their desired live broadcast rooms one after another.

Some viewers who had multiple devices even opened four screens, clearly indicating that they did not want to miss any of the four groups.

Soon, the helicopter took off again and dropped the four teams at different survival locations.

This was done to minimize resource competition between different groups, giving them enough room to maneuver.

In the first hour after the teams were divided, the most popular team in the livestream was Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingchuan, due to their large fan base.

At the same time, they were also the second most favored team by millions of netizens, with a high chance of winning.

However, the guests couldn't see the voting results. If they could, Shen Jingchuan would definitely sneer at them.

He never intended to team up with Shen Jinghe, and yet the netizens hoped that they could cooperate and win the championship? Sorry, that was absolutely impossible!

Since getting off the helicopter, Shen Jingchuan had no intention of walking with Shen Jinghe.

Shen Jinghe didn't say anything, but silently followed Shen Jingchuan's pace.

Shen Jingchuan realized that Shen Jinghe was still following him, so he purposely quickened his pace.

But Shen Jinghe also had long legs and could keep up with Shen Jingchuan. The accompanying photographers were the ones who suffered. They even suspected that they were filming a race in the wilderness.

The barrage was also filled with comments.

"Wuwuwu, silence is the theme for tonight. What's the meaning behind their silence? They never speak. If it weren't for the wind in the wilderness, I would have doubted that my newly bought earphones are faulty."

"A bit disappointed. I came here to see two handsome guys, but they keep showing us their backs. Although the back of their heads is also handsome, those big bags don't look good."

"Nobody understands. In this survival program in the wilderness, I'm listening to white noise. It really helps me sleep, I'm almost falling asleep."

"To be fair,, the scenery here is not bad."

"Why is it so boring? How about we make a bet on who will speak first?"

"I bet on Shen Jinghe. Alex has a quick temper and probably doesn't feel like talking right now."

"I bet on Alex. Shen Jinghe is very aloof, people with this kind of personality are emotionally stable. Alex, who has a quick temper, definitely won't be able to hold his emotions."

"That makes sense. Then I also bet that Alex will speak first."

In no time, their live broadcast room was filled with barrage messages mentioning "Alex".

However, reality soon slapped these netizens in the face.

Shen Jinghe spoke first.

When Shen Jingchuan stopped to tie his shoelaces, Shen Jinghe couldn't help but speak up.

"How long do you plan to keep walking? There's a flat area here and a river ahead. Shouldn't we set up camp here?"

Of course, Shen Jingchuan knew that this was a good place to set up camp, but he didn't want to talk to Shen Jinghe.

He didn't even look at Shen Jinghe but instead looked around.

In the end, he chose a spot and put down his backpack.

He didn't care if Shen Jinghe was annoyed or not. Moreover, the location he chose was particularly advantageous.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Jinghe also walked over.

But just as he was about to put down his backpack, Shen Jingchuan suddenly took out a shovel from his backpack and drew a line on the ground.

Although he didn't say a word, Shen Jinghe knew that it meant a boundary line.

He didn't expect that after so many years, this guy was still as childish as when they were young.

Shen Jinghe felt speechless and amused, but still took his backpack and went to a slightly further place.

Soon after, Shen Jingchuan took out his axe and entered the forest, while Shen Jinghe took out his wire saw and walked into another part of the forest.

The barrage instantly became restless.

"'Excuse me? They don't even communicate and don't even cooperate? Are they planning to do it alone?"

"I really think the atmosphere between these two is strange. They don't seem like ordinary strangers. I always feel like these two have met before!"

"I feel the same. There must be a story between them. Usually, strangers who didn't know each other before but were forcibly put together by the production team have some chemistry."

"They look alike for a reason. I bet one pack of spicy strips that they are relatives, but the parents of both families must have some feud or cut off ties."

"Wuwuwu, the scenery here is so good, I was ready to take a screenshot of the scene where the two handsome guys are together, but why did they separate?"

"Hahaha, luckily the live broadcast room has a split screen function, it doesn't affect me watching the two handsome guys together."

"Hilarious, when they were ranked second in the voting, what did everyone say? They said that the items they brought complemented each other. But now, if they really decided to separate and do their own thing, then it's called mutual deficiency."

"Hahaha, mutual deficiency, that's true.”

"Wait, why do I feel like Shen Jinghe really dotes on Alex for no reason? Could it be that strange CPs are going to increase?"

"Well... I don't think so. Although I also think Hehe behaved very patiently this time, I don't have that kind of feeling about CP or anything."

TN: In case you are confused, Hehe is a nickname Jinghe fans calls him. Its gotten from the name JingHe

"But there is one thing, I really feel that there is something special about their relationship."

"Ahhh, someone from the production team, come out here! The administrator of the live stream must be a member of the production team, right? Can you tell us what's going on? Is this scripted?!"

However, in fact, not only the audience, but even the producer and director of the program could not understand what was going on.

He had done other variety shows before, but this was the first time he had seen a combination like Alex and Shen Jinghe.

He could swear that this was definitely not scripted.

Strangely enough, the bullet comments in the live broadcast room were still friendly.

Although the two guests did not cooperate and had a cold attitude, they surprisingly did not receive any criticism. The audience seemed to find it interesting, and the popularity of the live broadcast room kept increasing.

And indeed, their performances were quite entertaining.

For example, Shen Jingchuan didn't bring a lighter, so he didn't have fire after it got dark.

Just when everyone thought he would freeze through the night, he actually stole Shen Jinghe's fire while he was fetching water by the river.

It was a surprise move, leaving the audience puzzled.

The Livestream comments were laughing when he stole the fire.

"Who could have thought that Alex, who seemed so disdainful of Shen Jinghe, would actually steal his fire when he was away! I suspect he's actually a funny guy, and there's something cute about it."

"It was also funny to see Shen Jinghe's reaction when he saw that Alex suddenly had fire, but he didn't say anything. I suspect he purposely left just now."

While Shen Jingchuan and Shen Jinghe were both getting into their sleeping bags by the fire, Jing Hao, who ranked first in the vote, and Xu He were still suffering from the cold.

They were originally the most promising group in the viewers' eyes.

But no one expected that on the first official day of their challenge, they encountered an accident.

While looking for a water source, Jing Hao accidentally dropped the lighter into a lake when he bent down to wash his hands.

At that moment, his heart sank. In just a few degrees of temperature, he immediately took off his clothes and jumped into the lake.

But because the lake was deep and the bottom was icy, he couldn't stay underwater for long. He dived three times, but still couldn't find the lighter.

As a result, starting a fire became a big problem for their group.

Because it had just rained here, everything was damp, and there was a lack of dry fuel.

Starting a fire with friction wood was already time-consuming and laborious, and coupled with their lack of extremely dry fuel, it was very difficult to start a fire.

Just the process of starting a fire took up most of their time, and in the end, both of them had blisters on their hands but still couldn't ignite a spark.

Their original first place ranking gradually dropped.

However unlucky they were, they captured the hearts of the audience, and the program team was very satisfied with it.

As for Qin Yan and Yin Haoyu's group, they were doing decently compared to Shen Jingchuan and Jing Hao's groups.

Originally ranked third, their number of votes kept steadily increasing.

But the sharp-eyed audience also noticed something else.

They felt that Yin Haoyu seemed to have a slight disgust in his eyes when looking at Qin Yan, which led to fans from both sides arguing in the live broadcast room.

Compared to these three groups, Wen Yan and Jiang Wanwan's live broadcast room was full of praise.

For viewers who were seriously watching the survival in the wilderness, they were impressed by these two girls who were initially underestimated.

Jiang Wanwan took the initiative to find Wen Yan as soon as they got off the helicopter.

"Your bag looks really heavy. I packed some lightweight things. Can you give me some? I can help you share the weight."

Jiang Wanwan was the type of beauty who appeared cold and aloof, seemingly unaffected by the mundane world. This was roughly how she was described in the original book. Moreover, in the book, she was also a character with multiple identities.

On the surface, she was just an ordinary girl from the countryside who entered the entertainment industry through her own efforts and superb acting skills.

But in reality, she was the neglected eldest daughter of the wealthy Jiang family, and her maternal grandfather was the King of a certain Asian country.She'll be exceptionally granted the title of princess by him in the future.

Not only that, she knew traditional medicine, martial arts, design, and was proficient in various arts such as music, painting, calligraphy, embroidery, piano, violin, cello, etc. In short, she was very talented.

Because she was inherently powerful, she had a somewhat aloof demeanor.

Therefore, when she took the initiative to offer help to Wen Yan, it was quite unexpected for her.

She meant what she said about helping with the heavy load, not just for the cameras.

Wen Yan couldn’t help but think: she really lived up to being the heroine she had stayed up all night to binge-read about—she was definitely someone worth teaming up with!

Not only that, but Jiang Wanwan also had a sharp mind; she offered very rational and mature suggestions regarding the campsite selection and shelter construction.

Wen Yan decided to be upfront with her. "Wanwan, to be honest, I’m a pretty laid-back person, and my practical knowledge is quite limited. However, I’m more than happy to put in the manual labor; I guarantee I won’t hold us back. So, if you can handle the ‘brainy’ stuff, I’ll take care of everything else. How does that sound?"

Jiang Wanwan let out a soft laugh. "I know. I watched the first season, after all."

To be honest, Jiang Wanwan quite liked Wen Yan. She felt that this girl was genuine and not pretentious, and she was also pretty, making her hard not to like.

The two of them clicked immediately, even though they had just met on the first day, they surprisingly had good chemistry.

Although they couldn't match mature men in terms of physical strength, they worked together exceptionally well and took care of each other. After being busy for a while, they didn't feel exhausted.

Since they arrived in the afternoon, it was impossible to build a stable and spacious house before it got dark, so they temporarily set up a small tent.

After setting it up, they started to boil water to drink.

While Jiang Wannian was making a fire and getting water, Wen Yan went to the forest.

When she came back, she brought back some leaves and berries, preparing to make fruit tea.

However, before putting these things in the pot, she specifically showed them to Jiang Wannian.

Although she had already learned some knowledge about local wild vegetables and fruits before coming here, one of Jiang Wannian's identities is a traditional Chinese medicine expert, so she should know better than herself if these things are poisonous or edible.

Jiang Wannian was also surprised by Wen Yan.

"So, you actually know so much about wild vegetables and fruits?"

Wen Yan didn't think about establishing any kind of image in front of the audience and giggled:

"I studied up before coming here. Since I knew the filming location was here, I specifically collected a lot of information online. And also, another reason is that I have no idea how to hunt, and even if I did, I wouldn't dare to process it. So I thought that when I arrive, I should dig up some wild vegetables and such, so it can also be a source of food. By the way, what about you? Do you have any experience surviving in the wild before?"

Actually, Wen Yan's question was unnecessary. Jiang Wannian is an all-around expert! Hunting and such are definitely not a problem for her! This time, neither of them chose a bow and arrow. Who knows, Jiang Wannian might even be able to make one herself!

Jiang Wannian selectively told the truth, but not all of it: "Yes, when I was young, I lived in the countryside with my grandmother. I know how to fish and catch rabbits. The resources here should be quite abundant. After it snows and we see the animal tracks, I think we won't be lacking meat."

"Perfect! In the next few days, besides building the house, I think we can also gather some berries. After it snows, these fruits will probably be gone. We can't just eat meat, we also need to supplement vitamins."

Jiang Wannian nodded, "Okay."

"I remember you also brought a fishing net. If we can catch fish, we can also smoke them. I know how to smoke fish!"

Jiang Wannian continued nodding, "Okay, I love smoked fish."

Barrage: 'Hahaha, I've noticed that the live stream is different when Wen Yan is there compared to other live streams, what's going on? It always feels warm when she's around. The previous season when she was with Qin Yan was the same.'

'Yes, yes, I've noticed that Wen Yan especially likes Miss Jiang, they always team up together. Both of them are beautiful, I love it. I'm different from others, I don't like watching handsome guys, I just love watching beautiful women.'
