Half an hour before the live broadcast was about to start, the official Weibo of "Outdoor Survival Challenge" posted a new update:
Welcome @Axius Somerville @Joseph Grant @Silas Shaw @Asher Shepherd @Dylan Nash @Quiana Sutton to participate in this event.
Each guest was also paired with a picture.
As soon as this Weibo post was published, the topic immediately exploded.
Axius Somerville is a top male idol with fans that are already powerful, not to mention the stormy presence of Quiana Sutton.
[Oh my gosh, the female participant is actually Quiana Sutton?]
[So annoying, why does my oppa have to do a show with her?]
[Charge! This time, we absolutely have to pin Quiana Sutton to the pillar of shame for daring to shamelessly appear on this variety show.]
[Please, oppas, make sure to stay far away from Quiana Sutton; absolutely do not let her seize the opportunity to stir up CP rumors.]
...
It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Quiana Sutton and this show have some sort of barrier, and now she eagerly participates, definitely with an ulterior motive.
Before the live broadcast officially started, millions of viewers had already swarmed into the live room.
They were ready with their keyboards, eager to get started.
10 AM.
The live broadcast officially begins.
The six people on camera appeared in everyone's eyes.
Axius Somerville's fans were the first to send a hundred castles, successfully dominating the screen and taking the top spot.
The audience, though shocked, felt it was only expected.
[As expected from Axius Somerville's fans, there are indeed many wealthy fans.]
Joseph Grant's fans weren't willing to be outdone; they also sent a hundred castles, tying with Axius Somerville for first place.
The other three groups of fans also rushed to send gifts, absolutely unwilling to let their idol fall to the bottom.
Half an hour later, only Quiana Sutton's name was left at the end, without even a single reward.
She was soon the subject of ridicule.
[Didn't Quiana Sutton always claim to have real fan support? Now she doesn't even have a single reward?]
Isabelle Somerville was about to explode with anger when she saw these comments; her Cece definitely had die-hard fans.
She couldn't produce millions, but ten thousand was still easily achievable.
She quickly sent a hundred large gems.
Even after sending a hundred large gems, the name still remained at the very bottom.
Still, it did not escape ridicule.
[Stop struggling; it's destined to end at the bottom. Might as well use the money to boost album sales next time.]
Isabelle Somerville: "..."
What can she do if she wants to curse someone?
No, no, under the name of Cece's fan, she can't curse, she can't curse.
...
The live streaming bullet comments were extremely heated, while the six people on camera remained relatively calm. They needed to stay in this forest for an entire day and night, so the most important thing right now was to find the food and water supplies hidden by the crew.
If they couldn't find the hidden food and water supplies, they would have to find a way to solve it themselves.
Joseph Grant was the first to get thirsty. Having been pampered since childhood, if he wanted to drink something, there would immediately be a servant serving juice or a drink. If he hadn't lost a bet, he wouldn't have come to the show to suffer.
He took a glance at Quiana Sutton, who walked as if she were strolling in her own garden, and gritted his teeth, determined not to be outdone by this woman.
Suddenly, a green snake dangled from a branch in front of him, flicking its tongue toward him, causing him to halt his steps, suddenly feeling weakness in his legs.
He nervously twisted his neck and realized that the others hadn't noticed anything unusual. They were focused on clearing the grass, searching for hidden water sources and food.
The word "Help" was at his throat, but he couldn't scream it out.
His brain gradually started to feel dizzy, his vision a bit blurred. Suddenly, he felt something heavy on his shoulder -- the green snake coiled itself on his shoulder, seemingly ready to bite at any moment -- at this moment, all of Joseph Grant's rationality vanished, and he could only shout out ---
"Help---"
This cry for help drew the attention of all present. Though they all had considerable physical prowess, they couldn't be sure if the snake was venomous, and didn't dare act rashly.
Axius Somerville decisively spoke up, "I'll call the crew."
Joseph Grant nearly cried, "By the time the crew leader gets here, I'll be gone."
Before he could finish lamenting, a shadow fell in front of him, and the snake on his shoulder was pinched at its vital point and casually thrown aside.
Then a calm voice sounded, "Just a grass snake, non-venomous."
Joseph Grant: "..."
At that moment the bullet comments filled with question marks.
[????]
[????]
[What just happened? Did Quiana Sutton catch a snake with her bare hands?]
[Is it a real snake?]
[Joseph Grant screamed, so it must be real.]
[Speaking of which, how can Quiana Sutton be so brave? Isn't she afraid of really getting bitten by a snake? Is this still the Quiana Sutton who couldn't even open a bottle cap before?]
Some were unconvinced.
[That just proves Quiana Sutton was too fake before.]
Since the speaker used Joseph Grant's profile picture, it was assumed the person was Joseph Grant's fan.
[Excuse me, Quiana Sutton just saved your oppa. Instead of thanking her, you're being sarcastic? Everyone in the live broadcast just saw Joseph Grant scream.]
Joseph Grant's fan felt a bit embarrassed because someone already turned Joseph Grant's scream into a meme.
Joseph Grant probably never expected himself to go viral in this way.
Joseph Grant came to his senses amidst the shock. He had to admit he was grateful to Quiana Sutton, but facing her to thank her was something he couldn't muster.
He followed behind Quiana Sutton, with a face full of conflicting emotions.
He knew the crew wouldn't let anyone die, but it was still terrifying. His legs had gone weak, and had Quiana Sutton been any later, he might have wet his pants.
Peeing his pants in front of so many viewers would have been a social death; he could quit showbiz directly.
Axius Somerville had always heard his sister talk about Quiana Sutton's heroic acts of saving her back then, but he had never witnessed it himself.
Today, when he saw Quiana Sutton casually throw away that green grass snake, he suddenly understood his sister's feelings at the time.
In a place he hadn't realized, the corners of his lips curled up slightly for a moment, but soon disappeared, unnoticed by anyone.
At this moment.
Imperial View Manor.
Oliver Gale sat lazily on the sofa, scrolling through his phone with a playful smile in his eyes.
Durrell Landon stepped out of the room, feeling particularly moody these last few days. The darkness in his eyes was even more piercingly sharp, and he glanced at Oliver Gale, "You seem very idle lately."
Oliver Gale looked up at Durrell Landon, smiling, "Durrell, interested in Quiana's live broadcast?"
Durrell Landon paused for a moment, then coldly replied, "No..."
Oliver Gale clicked his tongue, not saying anything further.
If he's not interested, why sit so close to him?
