Chapter 181: Man into the Wild

Chapter 181

Qin Zhao's memories from her previous world were sealed when she arrived here. Her mind was still fuzzy.

But the situation she found herself in jolted her wide awake!

The heavy load on her back pressed down on her body, nearly causing her to fall. Fortunately, she braced herself forcefully at the last moment, barely keeping her balance!

Laughter rang out around her. "Oh my, Missy can't even handle this anymore? Didn't you say you could carry it?"

An Hongyu walked over and said, "Let me help you."

Qin Zhao was about to decline his offer, but he moved extremely quickly. His hand was already reaching over!

His hand rested on Qin Zhao's backpack, pretending to help but actually pushing down forcefully!

Qin Zhao was not yet familiar with this body and her strength had not recovered either. She couldn't withstand the pressure and was unable to remain standing!

Last night, An Hongyu had confessed to Qin Zhao and was rejected. He had been irritated this whole time, and kept increasing the force, wanting Qin Zhao to fall down and embarrass herself publicly.

He wanted to mock her secretly in front of him and the Blue Star's audience, for pretending to be weak.

This was to oppress her and make sure she didn't dare to defy him again in the future!

Just as Qin Zhao was about to fall, she suddenly spun around to slip out of the shoulder straps!

The backpack lost its support and heavily smashed into the ground. The supplies inside scattered all over the place!

Qin Zhao walked to the side and received information from 502.

This world was a wilderness survival-themed entertainment industry story, set in the interstellar era.

The male lead An Hongyu was a popular movie star from a prestigious Blue Star family.

He met the female lead, famous triple threat actress and singer Sheng Xi, during a survival show.

He had tried to chat her up multiple times but failed to get her attention no matter how hard he tried.

So he instigated the other show guests to isolate the female lead!

When she was about to break down under their cold treatment, he took the opportunity to comfort her as she was vulnerable.

The female lead gradually accepted him and they fell in love.

The story ended with them getting married and living happily ever after.

But after the book's completion, when the female lead was forty-three, she accidentally heard the male lead's friend talk about how he had schemed against her back then and succeeded.

Unable to accept the fact that she had been deceived for half her lifetime, the female lead turned dark.

She then pushed the male lead off a tall building to his death!

And so the small world was destroyed!

After hearing the plot summary, Qin Zhao felt sad for the female lead.

It was her first time encountering such a despicable and shameless male lead!

502 said, "Host, don't feel indignant for the female lead yet. Your original host was treated even worse in the story!

She was killed by the male lead during the show.

And it was ruled as an accidental death when her body was never found!"

Qin Zhao asked, "What was the reason?"

"The male lead lusted after the original host but was rejected by her.

He was embarrassed into anger and that led to what happened later."

"Alright, whatever the case, after I've appeared, it'll be the male lead's turn to suffer misfortune."

502's eyes lit up. "Go for it, Host!"

An Hongyu glanced at the scattered items and said to Qin Zhao, "If you're unwilling to exert any effort, you'll be of no value to our team. Please leave on your own!"

The rules for this wilderness survival show were for the nine guests to live on Barren Ancient Star for fifty days.

They could choose to survive alone or form teams with others.

If anyone couldn't persevere, they could apply to quit.

Each person had their own livestream camera to broadcast directly to Blue Star through the Star Net.

Whoever's livestream channel accumulated the highest popularity value would win the 10 billion dollar grand prize.

The original host was a no-name Z-list celebrity who had gambled away her family fortune and owed massive debts.

That's why she signed up for the show.

The male and female leads were guests specially invited by the production team at high prices, to ensure the show's popularity.

Along with the original host's character positioning, all the others served as foils to highlight the male and female leads.

Qin Zhao gazed towards the distant big river and casually replied, "That was my exact intention."

An Hongyu froze for a second, not expecting such a decisive rejection from Qin Zhao. He was momentarily lost for words and could only watch speechlessly as Qin Zhao walked away.

He was extremely resentful inwardly but maintained a smile on the surface as he chatted with Zhou Haohui beside him. "I was just joking earlier and would have accepted her again if she apologized. I didn't expect her to be so petty as to take me seriously.

What can I do, I'm helpless against her."

Lin Rui readily echoed his words. "Forget it, a weak woman at survival like Qin Zhao would only drag us down anyway. Since she has decided to survive alone, just let her be.

She won't be in danger since she can choose to quit if she can't make it."

At this moment, incited by An Hongyu and Lin Rui, netizens on the Star Net had already started personal attacks against Qin Zhao!

"Who the hell is this Qin? Clearly she deliberately dropped her own backpack.

An Gege said a couple words and she still dared to lose her temper. She really has thick skin!"

"Even someone as good-natured as An Hongyu got provoked by her. She's really got some nerve. Doesn't she deserve a huge thumbs up?"

"I support the above posts. A total no-name Z-lister, An Hongyu was already being extremely generous to let her tag along.

Yet she doesn't know to cherish this chance. She'll get what she deserves later on."

Qin Zhao was oblivious to the online discussions as she walked towards the riverside and started searching for a suitable spot to build a shelter.

Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain's resources, rely on the water to eat the water's resources.

Building a shelter by the riverbank should allow her to safely get through fifty days, as long as there wasn't massive flooding.

Qin Zhao lowered her head to look inside the waist pouch left by the original host.

Inside there was only a thirty centimeter long dagger, a roll of fishing line, and a box of fishhooks. She really didn't know what good that would do.

Bringing such scant supplies, she wouldn't have made it past the second chapter in a novel.

Grumble~

Her stomach rumbled, and Qin Zhao finally became aware of the burning pain in her gut.

She had no choice but to put everything else aside and deal with lunch first.

Qin Zhao took a deep breath and turned to walk more than ten meters into the nearby woods.

She found a long slender tree branch that could serve as a fishing rod. Taking it back riverside, she tied on the fishing line and hook.

Then she randomly flipped over some rocks and dug up a few earthworms to use as bait.

And so she now had an improvised fishing setup.

Currently there were over five thousand viewers in Qin Zhao's livestream channel - all one hundred of her followers across the whole Internet were gathered here.

The rest were black fans rushing over from An Hongyu's channel with its hundred million fans, to mock her.

The audience was slightly astonished to see her skillfully chopping wood and calmly catching earthworms.

But most still believed she only looked capable on the surface and actually wouldn't know how to fish at all.

"As expected of the entertainment circle's famous Z-list actress. Look at those acting skills, she could probably outperform all the manufactured traffic celebrities!"

"I think she may actually have some skills. After all she does owe several billion gambling debts. Maybe when her debt collectors came for her, she escaped into the deep mountains and gained actual wilderness survival experience. It's possible!"

"That makes sense, but I still feel she won't be able to catch any fish. An Hongyu also tried fishing before to solve the food issue.

But after a whole day, he only caught a palm-sized small fish, not even enough to plug gaps between teeth.

There's no way she's stronger than An Hongyu, right?"

Yet just as this comment was posted, the audience saw Qin Zhao suddenly jerk up the fishing rod. A giant fish as long as her arm leaped out of the water surface!
