Chapter 2339: Chapter 1309:
Because he loves parkour and rock climbing, he often ventures into the great mountains and jungles. In these environments, many people encounter danger or need to find food when there isn’t any, and he even has experience fighting with wild beasts.
Fang Zizhou never travels alone. He always forms a group, and within the group, there are people assigned to protect them.
They encounter fierce beasts, and they have machinery for defense, though they lack medication for preventing insect bites.
Fang Zizhou has never truly faced danger, and he’s full of confidence this time. He wants to stand out in this reality show, not because teaming up with Ye Qingning would make them lovers.
If Zuo Shaonan were available, he would have appeared as a guest star this time.
The Liang couple originally planned to stir something up, and now they have a chance.
They received a task: if they can’t handle Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou, then dealing with the other group of heirs and Noble Family Girls would give them a bigger bargaining chip.
The other pair of young celebrities are just incidental.
This couple claimed that they would act on their own. As long as they’re away from these people’s vicinity, even with the audience watching the livestream, they could still quietly execute their plans.
...
Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou agreed to team up as a pair, opting not to join others.
It’s not that they’re uncooperative; with so many guests together, how could they showcase themselves?
Besides, it’s a competition this time. How could they compete if they’re all together?
Both of them have the capabilities; they can shine on their own. Why team up with others?
They stated their preference to form a pair, and the director wouldn’t force them to join others.
They quickly departed, and even when the other two groups wanted them to stay, they couldn’t make them stay.
Before anyone had a chance to say anything, the two of them swiftly walked away.
Now that two groups of guests had already formed and left, Fang Zizhou remained confident. Ye Qingning was indifferent; lacking hunting skills, she’s just there for company.
Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu strongly insisted on joining them for safety.
"If you join our group and we hunt game, do we still have to share it with you? How would the competition work then?"
Ye Qingning was indifferent.
Fang Zizhou felt differently—it held a unique significance. Why should he share the group’s gains with others?
This isn’t just about money; it’s about the competition.
It’s the fruit of his labor.
"We’re just teaming up with you, but if you catch something while hunting, we won’t take a share. We just want to learn from you, picking up experience and hopefully learning how to hunt."
Liang Sisi spoke, while Lai Chuanyu remained silent, but he had already nodded in agreement.
The two had already discussed and decided they must team up with others. In this vast mountain, with dangerous beasts lurking around, even though there were crew members secretly keeping watch, they still felt very uneasy.
Fang Zizhou, being a singing and dancing star, had far more fans than them, and teaming up with him would surely increase their follower count too.
If their two groups worked together, they might gain even more fans.
Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu’s intention was clear: Fang Zizhou is a celebrity with resource connections. If they get acquainted and become friends, they could benefit from his resources.
They didn’t want to end up like that one middle-aged couple, who were actors but remained obscure, relegated to insignificant roles in films and TV shows.
Often, they had no lines when they appeared.
Almost like background extras.
Fang Zizhou wanted to refuse; he thought Ye Qingning was alright. Upon learning she was in his group, he’d quietly learned more about this guest, and discovered that she was a Noble Family Girl, giving him an opportunity to strengthen his position as a scion of a wealthy family.
Although he was a rich heir, in the entertainment industry, he relied on his family’s backing, struggling for resources. If he could win Ye Qingning over and become lovers, he would be praised within the family.
He wouldn’t have to give up his career and would still have his family’s support.
His family wouldn’t abandon him just because he became a star.
If it came to alliances, it’s better to marry someone who supports him.
Fang Zizhou, too, had noticed Ye Qingning’s gaze and learned that Mo Jingyan liked another wealthy girl; Ye Qingning’s feelings were just a one-sided crush.
This was his chance to comfort her and be around her. With his current charm, he believed he could win over Ye Qingning.
Today’s teamwork was excellent; he didn’t want Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu to disrupt what they had.
He even noticed that in the last episode, Lai Chuanyu was grouped with Ye Qingning, probably trying to latch onto her.
During this episode, Fang Zizhou noticed something between Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu—they didn’t just share a classmate relationship; they were more than friends or fellow townspersons.
He’d specifically investigated and found their ties exceeded those of classmates.
No matter what their situation was,
They just needed to be kept in check.
Fang Zizhou wanted to refuse, yet before he could utter a word,
Liang Sisi went to ask Ye Qingning, tagging along with her like a follower, and Ye Qingning didn’t turn her down.
If they were together in a forest, perhaps something might happen between them.
With Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu along, it might be better.
Even though the two were useless for the tasks at hand.
After all, it’s a divided competition; when they get food, they can share it or not.
Ye Qingning agreed. They teamed up, and then they moved as one; by this time, the other two groups of guests were out of sight.
They entered the mountains, leaving the building. They were surrounded by mountains.
The jungle mountains were blanketed in snow.
Entering from the outside, all they saw was a vast expanse of white, no sign of prey in sight.
Even the trees, now in winter, had shed their leaves, leaving bare trunks, and even those were covered in snow.
The snow had stopped today, and it was now noon, with sunlight falling across the landscape.
The previous snow hadn’t melted, and as they walked on the snow, it crunched underfoot.
Footprints sank deep, making movement difficult.
Entering the mountains, besides the threat of wild beasts, there was also the fear of falling into hunter-made traps.
That Liang couple, although they had already set out first, remained not far from the building. Watching Liang Sisi and Lai Chuanyu’s groups set off from the same point, they didn’t follow in the livestream, but planned to take a different route, quietly trailing behind.
They hadn’t ruled out ambushing Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou in the jungle, perhaps seizing secrets or other items from them.
These two were cunning and strong, beyond their ability to handle.
When the two arrived at this location, their organization had already sent people to this place.
The moment they decided to come here, their members had already hidden in the forest.
These people didn’t climb the mountain; they arrived by aircraft and descended upon the place.
They came quietly, without announcing their presence. This time, they were on a mission.
If they had the chance, they’d take down Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou.
Without the means to tackle Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou, they would first target those wealthy offspring.
Liang Sisi, Lai Chuanyu, and the other guest group had no idea they were being watched, with others lying in wait for their arrival.
The guests didn’t know the show’s arrangements ahead of time either.
This information was secretive; they only found out when they boarded the plane.
Internal staff came here to set the stage earlier, and they probably knew some details.
Mo Jingyan and Luo Youyou had the highest viewership in their livestream shots; they had already made some gains.
Although the snow had stopped, in such cold weather, some small animals still appeared.
These small creatures were also in search of food.
Luo Youyou used her Divine Sense to ensure no large animals would pose a threat to them.
