Chen Gangyu changed her clothes and hurried back. Before she could stand still, she started apologizing profusely. “Sorry, sorry, let me handle the fish…”
In the end, she stared fixated on the seven fish which were already handled. A finger-thick tree branch penetrated the fish mouth exiting through the tail, they were set up next to the bonfire.
Everyone surrounded the warm bonfire and watched the fish being roasted. Their stomachs grumbled.
“Gangyu, you’re back?” Yan Changhui moved to the side and made room for her, indicating for her to sit down. “The fish will be done in a while. Let’s try out Su Jin’s cooking skills this meal.”
Chen Gangyu said shockingly, “Teacher Su made the fish?”
“No.” Su Jishi didn’t take the credit, replying calmly. “Teacher Su was only in charge of killing the fish. Teacher Kang was in charge of cooking it.”
“… Who is Teacher Kang?”
Su Jishi pointed at a person standing by the dried out seasoning packets. “It’s the teacher making ramen right now. Qin Qiu brought dozens of seasoning packets for ramen and I just brushed it on the fish, so we wouldn’t need to use the seasoning from the cans.”
Su Jishi secretly thought: Who knew Qin Qiu would useful in some way? He even brought seasoning packets. Ramen is quick and doesn’t take much space. Next time, she can just use this idea if she went exploring the wilderness.
Yan Changhui and Jing Wei’s pants were soaked as well. However, as men, they didn’t pay much attention to this. Plus, it was warm in the forest. Their pants would dry in a bit.
After a while, the roasted fish was ready. The wild fish from the lake weren’t big and each one was only a bit longer than the length of one’s palm. The quality of the meat was extremely fresh and the skin was charred to perfection. One could hear a soft crunch when biting the fish. The fish meat was fine and delicate like garlic petals. It would scatter at the touch. There was no fishy smell. The fish meat slid away upon contact with their tongue. Everybody had walked for a long time and long famished. With fresh fish meat in front of them, who cared about their image? Each one of them buried their heads and started frantically wolfing the food. After they finished, they sucked on their fingers, immersed in the aftertaste.
“This is the freshest fish I’ve ever had!” Jing Wei was the host of a gourmet food show, so he naturally started bragging about the delicious fish meat. “These are all wild fish. Although they have a lot of bones, and quite thin. It smells fresh, not like the fishy smell from the market. There is a faint salty aroma too. Paired with the seasoning packet that Xiao Qiu provided, it’s very delicious!”
The photographers zoomed in on the scene and took close-up pictures of the celebrities eating fish. The warm fish meat disappeared in their mouths and the photographers bet that if the audience saw this scene, they’d crave for this fish.
The two extra fish were for the instructors. After all, if the instructors hadn’t guided them, they definitely wouldn’t have made it till here.
After everyone was done packing up and adjusting, they continued filming.
The celebrities reluctantly carried their hiking bags and almost collapsed under the heavyweight.
Yan Changhui glanced at Su Jishi who was carrying a small bag and holding a geological hammer. He smiled bitterly and said, “I originally was worried that Teacher Su wouldn’t bring enough things seeing how small your bag was. Who knew that Teacher Su was the most prepared of us all?”
Su Jishi laughed proudly, playing with her geological hammer. It seemed like she’s the blessed one this time.
…
Everyone continued ahead. Because there were lots of people, they startled many animals. The smaller animals had long left, there were some medium-sized animals that gathered by the road. Using the dense plants as protection, they gazed curiously at the people.
While traveling, they had seen many rare plants that belonged to the rainforest. If it weren’t that the time and location weren’t right, Su Jishi really wanted to raise her geological hammer and dig up a few beautiful rocks.
Chen Gangyu gradually got used to the rhythm. While walking, she panted and asked, “How long before we can settle down?”
Instructor Hai glanced at the GPS and replied. “Less than two kilometers.”
The team let out a small cheer. One could finish walking two kilometers in twenty minutes on a flat and smooth road. But the road here was narrow and bumpy. Time to time, there were thick and solid trees fallen down, delaying their pace.
They gritted their teeth and walked another half hour before they finally arrived at the foot of a narrow rocky mountain.
The rocky mountain was nearly a hundred meters tall and steep, forming almost a straight angle. After being exposed to the sun and rain for a long time, the volcanic rocks were bare and exposed. There were only a few plants that survived at the peak of the rock mountain.
Jing Wei was stunned and he hurriedly asked, “Where’s the camp?”
“After you make it over the mountain.” Instructor Hai responded.
Everyone was speechless.
How were they going to make it over? There were no protective measures, and they were all delicate celebrities. They wanted them to climb the mountain with bare hands? One misstep and they would tumble down the mountain! This was no joke!
Yan Changhui knitted his eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t there any other ways?”
“Yes.” Instructor Jiang raised his hand and pointed at the twisty road. That road wasn’t smooth and it seemed to be the result of the stamping of some large-sized animals. “You guys can go around the mountain too.”
“Then let’s…”
The instructors smiled and said honestly, “If you want to walk around the mountain, you need to walk an extra three kilometers.”
The atmosphere stiffened for a moment. Everyone looked at each other and then incredulously at the dark-skinned instructors as if thousands of bullet screens had appeared in their mind.
The showrunners must’ve done this on purpose. Don’t mention how difficult it had been since they started traveling, but they were about to reach their camp, and the showrunners wanted them to walk another extra three kilometers? Hope was clearly in front of them and then they realized that their goal had moved away from them. Who could endure this?
That’s right. The showrunners had planned this on purpose.
In the beginning, fans would find celebrities going through challenging experiences and making themselves muddy and dirty in the process interesting. However, if it was the same content over and over, then they wouldn’t be as invested anymore. Therefore, the showrunners specifically set up this “psychological trap”. When the celebrities thought that they were about to reach victory, the showrunners would nudge them into a hole.
Truth be told, this move was really lacking in virtue.
When the body was extremely tired, who cared about image? If a celebrity with a weak mental state encountered this, it was really likely for them to cry too.
As expected, Jing Wei tossed his hiking bag and sat down, revealing an unhappy expression. “I’m not walking, I’m not walking. I originally thought that I could get a good rest, but who knew that we need to walk an extra three kilometers right now? Are we going to have to walk until the sun sets?”
Qin Qiu kneeled at the foot of the mountain and looked down, saying nothing. He silently plucked the weeds on the ground, seemingly angry.
Yan Changhui was the oldest here and had a placid personality. Seeing everyone dejected, he didn’t feel good either. He could only try to comfort everyone. “Don’t worry. There are still a few more hours before sunset. Let’s rest here and then… ah! Xiao Chen, why are you… don’t just stand there. Someone get Xiao Chan a tissue!”
Su Jishi followed the sound only to see Chen Gangyu hugging her legs, sitting on a huge rock. She was silent but her eyes were tearing up. She was actually on her period today. Today, she went to catch fish and even walked a long distance. She was long tired and exhausted. The only thing keeping her going on was the thought that after she arrived at the camp, there would be water and electricity. She could take a nice warm shower and relax. Who knew that the showrunners would play them like this and dig a pit for all of the celebrities!
But work was work. This show was called 《Wildlife Winner》which meant that the celebrities would encounter hardships in the wilderness and overcome the obstacles in exchange for exposure and salary. If they were comfortable the entire way, the audience wouldn’t buy it.
Su Jishi was quiet the entire time, standing there saying nothing. She was used to extreme wilderness experiences. Don’t mention walking another three kilometers in the forest, but she could even walk another ten kilometers.
