Chapter 68 - 68: In Contrast
After completing a few small quests, Jin Ran and the others had also gathered enough points to leave. They redeemed their points and left with Bai Lin.
Fan Feng could not talk much with Bai Lin, so he went to approach Lin Sen. “Lin Sen, what do you think Bai Lin likes? I want to be in the same group as her next time. There’ll be a break after this round. I want to get closer to her so that she can guide me.”
“I don’t know.” Lin Sen pushed up his glasses and looked at the people who were talking to Bai Lin. He said, “But she probably likes smart people.”
“Do I look like a smart person to you? Will Lin-jie like me?” Fan Feng asked.
Lin Sen did not say anything this time. He looked at Fan Feng silently for a few seconds and hurried forward to catch up with the person in front.
Fan Feng thought, ‘I’m suspecting that you’re frowning upon me, but I don’t have any evidence.’
In order to test and confuse them, the last section of the map was drawn very simply. It was almost useless in the huge indigenous rainforest, but it was a piece of cake for Bai Lin.
She soon reached the finish line with the others.
The staff came over to receive them warmly with prepared items to welcome them back, announcing the successful end of their adventure this episode.
Bai Xi and the others finally finished all the food before the time was completely up—but this was not the end.
The show was still going on, so they could not slack off. After being driven out of the station by the staff, they helped each other to the finish line.
If they ate a little slower, someone would come to “help” them eat, so they ate quickly and hurriedly. After a few steps, Zhao Yuan bent over and held onto the tree trunk as she began to vomit.
The foul vomit splashed on Bai Xi i s shoes, and she moved away in disgust. When she finally adjusted her expression and was about to pat Zhao Yuan’s back, Bai Shao started to throw up.
Bai Shao and Zhao Yuan’s continuous vomiting noises were especially clear in the empty forest.
It was nighttime now. Bai Xi could no longer hold it in. She quickly scanned for the camera and turned her back to it. Her expression went completely out of control as she looked at her vomiting family like she was looking at a pile of trash.
It was all their fault for dragging her down. Otherwise, she would not have lost to Bai Lin with her abilities.
Her expression was loyally recorded by a hidden camera set up in the dark.
[Hello? Why aren’t Xixi’s fans talking? Doesn’t your Bai Xi like to flaunt her label of being considerate and filial? Why didn’t she go and comfort her mother when she saw her puking like this?]
[Did anyone notice her looking for the camera? Is she afraid that we’ll see her expression? She’s too hypocritical. I hate two-faced people like her the most.]
[I’m watching both sides of the livestream. Bai Xi and Bai Lin have such a huge contrast. Bai Lin’s already sleeping soundly, while Bai Xi and the others are lost and vomiting. It’s a little tragic.]
It was not easy to trek the paths in the forest, especially at night. There was only a little light from the watches, and the map was like a scribble. They did not know where they were at all.
They endured all kinds of mosquito and insect bites and listened to the wolves howl. They were mentally tense and could hardly think.
They were very regretful. Why did they have to eat that meal?
Great, now they had to spit out whatever they had eaten and got lost in the middle of the night.
If they had been nicer and followed Bai Lin and the others after they finished eating, they would have reached the finish line by now.
Despite that, it was useless to regret it. The three of them walked until dawn, feeling miserable and in pain.
When they received the message on their watches that the episode was over and someone would come to guide them to the end, Zhao Yuan cried tears of joy and fainted.
There was a break between each episode of the show, but the guests were still in the show and could not contact the outside world. They did not know how much controversy the newly announced Traveler guest list had caused.
Fiery Tom’s livestream channel welcomed an unprecedented level of popularity.
His hair was colored a flamboyant red and was slightly curled. The screen of his phone was reflected as white dots in his eyes. He was focused on reading the comments that were flooding the screen.
“Why did I agree to Traveler’s invitation? Aren’t I busy as a mercenary?” He laughed, his foxy eyes curving into a line. “Of course it’s to fanboy. There’s someone I can hardly meet on the show, and she’s always being bullied. Of course I’m going to help given the chance..”
