Chapter 192

Star Net's overnight audience watched the whole process from the appearance of the black bear to its death.

Such a thrilling event stirred the audience's hearts!

Within just half an hour, this video appeared on the headlines of Star Net's forums!

The hot search for Qin Zhao defeating the black bear also topped the entertainment board's hot searches!

Riding on the popularity of this incident, Survival in Barren Ancient Times successfully broke out of its niche!

The number of viewers in each guest star's livestream room started rising in a straight line!

Sheng Xi, the most popular one, broke 100 million live viewers!

With his sky-high popularity, Qin Zhao already had over 60 million viewers in her livestream room!

An Hongyu's popularity ranking slipped to third place, with 43 million viewers in his livestream.

Xiao Mo ranked fourth, with 17 million viewers.

Yu Xiao ranked sixth, with over 1 million popularity points.

As for the fifth-ranked Chen Bingzhe, he was applying to quit.

"I want to quit!" He yelled again, "Right now, immediately! Send me back to Blue Star!"

Xu Lianggong said, "Please calm down, we will contact the spaceship immediately to pick you up."

As his breathing gradually steadied, the pain signals returned and Chen Bingzhe belatedly realized his back felt like it was burning.

The production team staff came to bring him for disinfection.

Qin Zhaow alked up and asked the director, "You said you would compensate us, what kind of compensation is that?"

Xu Lianggong said, "There are 36 days left of the 50 day limit. For the next week, all the food and water you need will be provided by the production team."

Qin Zhao shook her finger and said, "I don't care how you treat them, but for me, it must be the highest grade. If not for me tonight, they might have all died, and the Survival in Barren Ancient Times show would cease to exist. Based on my contributions, the one week you mentioned should at least be doubled. The next two weeks, my food and water will be supplied by you."

Listening on the sidelines, Xiao Mo and An Hongyu felt somewhat aggrieved, but couldn't say anything. After all, Qin Zhao had saved their lives.

The next day, Xu Lianggong sent Qin Zhao 20 kg of beef, water, seasoning, vegetables, fruits and eggs.

The amount for An Hongyu and the others was halved.

To prevent the beef from spoiling, Qin Zhao made a simple smoked meat device, planning to smoke 16 kg of the beef into dried jerky.

Keeping 4kg of fresh meat to eat over the next couple of days.

At lunchtime, Sheng Xi cooked braised beef chunks in brown sauce and stir-fried beef strips with green peppers, paired with egg drop soup with cucumbers.

The two of them sat on the balcony eating.

Qin Zhao tasted the braised beef and praised, "Your cooking skills really are great! I'm a little reluctant for the show to end, otherwise I won't get to eat the dishes you make."

Sheng Xi accepted Qin Zhao's praise with a laugh. "It's very simple."

She moved closer to Qin Zhao's ear and said, "As long as you agree to be my girlfriend, you can eat as much as you want."

Qin Zhao pushed her away, "Trying to seduce me with just food? You must be dreaming."

Sheng Xi smiled unconcernedly, "You'll be mine sooner or later, I'm not in a hurry."

...

Relying on the food Xu Liang provided and the hazel grouse and hares Qin Zhao occasionally hunted, the two of them breezed through half a month.

Eating fragrant and spicy meals every day, they still had leftover beef jerky on their balcony.

As for the bitterly struggling An Hongyu and Xiao Mo, all they could do was look on enviously.

The week of food the director gave them was finished in three or four days.

After that, they reverted back to relying on wild vegetables and the occasional rabbit or squirrel they caught to supplement their protein.

The two rapidly lost weight.

An Hongyu lost a fair bit of muscle, which pained him greatly.

Building a pound of muscle might take high intensity training for three months, but losing a pound of muscle only took three days.

Xiao Mo slimmed down until he was skin and bones.

In the thin summer clothing, when the wind blew, his protruding ribs could be clearly seen.

He was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but unwilling to easily give up the chance at the billion dollar prize.

After all, more than two-thirds of the time had passed. It would be too much of a loss to quit now.

He wanted to try his best to hang on!

Xiao Mo's gaze shifted to the beef jerky hanging out to dry on the balcony of the wooden cabin on the second floor, and he couldn't help swallowing.

But he quickly shifted his gaze away.

Worried that someone might catch him staring, he even looked around in all directions.

Only to truly see someone staring back at him intently.

Yu Xiao was standing behind the window of the wooden cabin, staring blankly at him.

When Xiao Mo looked over, Yu Xiao slammed the window shut!

Xiao Mo muttered under his breath, "What are you looking at, so proud just because you get to live in the cabin?"

In the early hours of dawn, Xiao Mo yawned in his tent.

In order to find the right opportunity, he had persevered until now without falling asleep.

He listened carefully to the sounds outside, all was silent.

Confirming that everyone else was sound asleep.

He gently and quietly lifted the tent flap aside.

And headed straight for the wooden cabin where Qin Zhao and Sheng Xi lived.

That's right, the way he had thought of to persevere was to steal their food!

Xiao Mo knew there must be people on Star Net watching him right now.

But he no longer cared. In the face of the massive fortune, reputation was worthless!

Arriving at the front of the wooden cabin, he carefully climbed up the pillar supporting the structure.

His hungry stomach made a shameful gurgling sound!

Scaring him so much he nearly lost his grip!

Falling two or three meters would not endanger his life, but would certainly wake the sleeping people.

Xiao Mo waited until his stomach stopped growling before continuing the climb.

Only one more meter before reaching his destination – the second floor balcony.

He put in a burst of effort. His right hand grasped the balcony railing.

Thinking he would soon get to eat beef jerky, Xiao Mo was wild with joy!

Just as he was climbing onto the balcony, he suddenly saw Qin Zhao staring at him like a ghost, an inscrutable smile on her face!

She even greeted him, "Hi Xiao Mo, still not sleeping so late at night? Out parkouring?"

Xiao Mo cried out in shock, his hand unconsciously loosening his grip and falling off, heavily smashing into the ground!

Qin Zhao leaned out her head to look at Xiao Mo lying on the ground in a strange posture below, and said, "Now he's finally fallen asleep."

When Xiao Mo woke up the next day, he was still frozen in the same position he had landed in after falling.

He felt desolate, thinking that on Barren Ancient Star, there wasn't a single person willing to reach out a helping hand to him.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. Tears flooded forth!

Clambering to his feet, he touched the slightly swollen back of his head, and cried out towards the production team, "Director, I quit!"

Not long after, the staff came to bring him away.

At this point, there were only four guest stars left competing on Survival in Barren Ancient Times.

On the night of July 19th, Qin Zhao was sound asleep when she felt something crawling on her!

She was shocked awake, only to discover Sheng Xi's hand groping around inside her clothes.

Lying with her back to Sheng Xi, Qin Zhao asked, "Sheng Xi, have you groped enough?"

Sheng Xi seriously replied, "Not enough."

"Have you no shame left?"

Sheng Xi righteously replied, "What person sharing a bed with a beautiful woman could restrain themselves from copping a feel? I'm already very restrained. Haven't you noticed my groping has been very gentle?"

Qin Zhao was furious. "Are you looking for me to praise you?"

Sheng Xi nodded, her chin resting on Qin Zhao's left shoulder. "Of course, say some praises for me to hear."

Qin Zhao suddenly flipped over, on the verge of kicking Sheng Xi off the bed.

The sky was suddenly split by a roar of thunder!
