"Wow, there's even a little girl here. Wasn't there a minimum age requirement of 18? Doctor, could there be a mistake?"
One of the female hosts exclaimed in surprise. She is Song Jia, a famous host with tens of millions of fans.
For this broadcast, the Alliance Country directly turned the news channel into a live wilderness survival show to create buzz and attention.
"It could be that this contestant has developed a bit slowly. The organizers wouldn't make such a mistake." A doctor in glasses, around 40 years old, replied. He is an observer for this broadcast, primarily to analyze the wilderness situation for viewers.
Of course, he knows that it's not an ordinary wilderness, but a brand new planet.
This wilderness survival event isn't organized by a multi-country alliance, but by an advanced civilization.
However, it cannot be made public now, or it would cause panic.
Their sun is about to explode, with only 200 years remaining.
However, as long as one team survives for over 500 days on that planet, they will earn the right to use the planet.
"Doctor, are they not allowed to wear any clothes? This is too harsh."
The speaker is Sun Bei, a wilderness survival expert. He has filmed many survival documentaries and has many fans worldwide.
He also signed up for this challenge but wasn't selected.
"Exactly, this is more unfair for the girls." Another host joined in. She's Liu Yi, a medical science popularization host and also a medical professional with many fans herself.
"I think it's already quite merciful since they have the chance to choose three pieces of equipment."
Dr. Glasses actually thought Xu Yi and Lu Ke would survive in just their underwear when they appeared on camera.
Initially, during their estimation, they thought the prepared items couldn't be transported through the Star Gate.
The results proved them mostly correct.
But when the camera shifted to show the items laid on the ground, Dr. Glasses' mouth twitched a bit.
These items were the ones they prepared, all packed in large backpacks. Now, they could each choose only three.
"The organizers are ruthless, counting clothes and shoes separately. This means each person could only choose one piece of equipment?" Song Qian glanced at Dr. Glasses, feeling that he might be one of those who set the rules for the organizers.
But who would have thought, this was the intention of another civilization?
"Not everyone will choose clothes and shoes. After all, they have to survive 500 days. A set of clothes and a pair of shoes can't last that long." Sun Bei shook his head, thinking those who have thought it through wouldn't choose clothes.
What if the destination was near the equator? Those thick clothes would be impractical.
"How will these 77 groups choose? Audience friends, you can enter their live broadcast rooms through the official website to follow them, or interact with our four observers via bullet comments." Song Jia, being a professional host, immediately engaged the audience.
"Caught a loli, I bet ten bucks, this group won't make it past the first day."
"This Xu Yi delivers food, and the loli delivers parcels. If they last a day, I'll livestream eating sh*t!"
Apparently, that commenter above had read their profiles.
At this time, Sun Bei also noticed and entered Room 77's live broadcast to see a brief introduction of the two.
Xu Yi: 19, deliveryman.
Challenge declaration: Wondering if the wild animals taste good.
Lu Ke: 18, courier.
Challenge declaration: The longer you live, the more you can eat.
"Is this a foodie duo?" Liu Yi chuckled sweetly, sensing that this survival challenge wasn't too dangerous. That's because they could be retrieved after giving up.
"It's indeed a strange combo... Look, Xu Yi made his choice after all." Sun Bei felt Xu Yi and Lu Ke signed up just for fun, and luckily got picked.
"This choice is reasonable; a pot is definitely essential, the multipurpose Engineer Shovel too, and then he paired it with a short crossbow. Unfortunately, crossbow arrows are a separate choice, so the short crossbow's power is reduced. As for clothes, shoes, and a sleeping bag, they are picked for Lu Ke. If Lu Ke weren't a girl, I think they could have picked two more weapons. After all, it's an undeveloped wilderness, and weapons might be more practical." Sun Bei briefly commented. He would choose the same three items if it were just him.
The organizers have stated they are going to a completely undeveloped place, a brand new wilderness. It's estimated that nothing usable can be picked up there. At least, one must consider finding no other tools before making choices.
"This Xu Yi is considerate, but this is survival, not an outdoor leisure." Liu Yi wasn't too optimistic about this group, suspecting that Lu Ke wasn't in the best of health.
This is wilderness, without a strong physique, at least health is necessary, right?
At this moment, another screen lit up, and the live broadcast room became lively.
Because, a star appeared, a super diva, 21-year-old Ivica. At 8, she released her solo single, astonishing the world, and then starred in movies, winning numerous awards. Now, Ivica is the most influential female star globally, with a net worth exceeding billions.
No one expected a legendary star like her to appear in this challenge.
Sun Bei is also a fan of Ivica. Without hesitation, he clicked into her broadcast room and saw her live profile.
Ivica: 21, singer, sister.
Challenge declaration: I want to seek inspiration in the wild!
Lei Jie: 21, special forces, brother.
Challenge declaration: To protect my sister!
"There's always been a rumor that Ivica has a twin brother. Never thought it to be true, and a special forces soldier at that. Yi Yi, don't you think this Lei Jie is handsome?" Song Jia was also a small fan of Ivica, albeit a casual one.
This Lei Jie is indeed very handsome, with a vigorous demeanor, a typical handsome Western man.
Liu Yi thought that if Lei Jie entered showbiz using his sister's connections, he could definitely become a huge star.
Many viewers started fawning over the screen, as for who they admired—it depended on the person.
"Brother, you're the expert in wilderness survival, you decide what to choose. I'll fully cooperate with you. We must stay for 500 days!" Ivica patted her brother's back, signaling Lei Jie to choose the equipment.
Lei Jie nodded, glanced around, and selected the items.
"Eh, they picked the exact same equipment as Group 77." Dr. Glasses adjusted his spectacles in surprise.
"Lei Jie, as a brother, is naturally inclined to protect his sister." Sun Bei commented rather cheekily.
Dr. Glasses's mouth twitched as though asking: Why didn't you say that when Xu Yi chose the same way?
Soon, more screens began to light up.
This signifies that the mysterious veil of the wilderness is about to be lifted.
