    Chapter 101: Watching a Deathmatch Reality Show, and You Feed Me a Mouthful of Dog Food?!

    The director, staring at the monitor, was a bit dazed after hearing the announcement and turned to ask the assistant, "Who was just eliminated?"

    "The Swiss team," the assistant replied truthfully, "eliminated by Team China."

    The director looked even more astonished, "Team China?! The team with the hanger-on?! Show me the replay."

    "Sure," the assistant operated on another laptop and soon pulled up the live replay that had just been uploaded.

    The two of them watched, and their expressions gradually changed.

    The video was short, and both the director and the assistant were taken aback.

    "These don't seem like amateurs," the director said gravely, "All the actions are too professional, as if they've truly been through battle."

    The assistant strongly agreed, "Even without using anyone as bait, facing them head-on, the Swiss team wouldn't stand a chance!"

    The director suddenly smiled, "This season's viewership is going to hit a new high because China has produced some dark horses!"

    Not only were the director and the assistant astonished, but the teams struggling hard on the deserted island, searching for weak targets to score points, were also shocked and changed their strategy—the strength of Team China was immeasurable, better observe for now.

    After making a name for themselves, Jian Li led the team more smoothly towards the cliff route.

    Except for the sky getting darker and the occasional unknown poisonous insects scaring Lu Yuanhang into yelling, everything else was harmonious.

    They finally reached the cliff.

    Lu Yuanhang's suspended heart was finally put back in place, and now, regardless of his fear of heights, he lay on the ground, panting heavily.

    "What kind of hellish reality show is this?! Where's my agent?! Get out here, you bastard! If you hadn't tricked me, would I have joined this?!"

    Muttering to himself, he suddenly thought of something and sat up abruptly, "My agent isn't in cahoots with you guys, is he?! Specially sent me here to be tortured?! Before anyone could answer, the barrage of comments exploded with laughter,

    "Hahahaha, Lu Yuanhang, you finally figured it out?! Anyone who sends you to a reality show is definitely not a good person!"

    "Lu Yuanhang's agent?! Isn't that Tony from his company?! He's said to be especially funny and unpredictable!"

    "My brother works with Tony. While others hire water armies to whitewash their artists, Tony just says it's a waste of money, and then the screen is filled with insults for Lu Yuanhang!"

    "Haha, really?! No wonder Lu Yuanhang is suspicious!"

    "I'm from Lu Yuanhang's agency, and I think not only Tony is suspicious, but the auntie in the tea room, the sweeper uncle, and the cleaning girl are all extraordinary too?!"

    "Have you ever seen the tea auntie catch a teacup with her bare hands?! Damn! I almost knelt down right there!"

    At home, eating ice cream and watching the reality show, the agent almost choked, "Cough cough—"

    "Good guess, don't guess next time,"

    "If you guess again, you'll expose us!"

    "Who's your agent? I don't know them."

    Yuan Feng answered while avoiding eye contact, and at the same time, pulled a simple sleeping bag out of his backpack.

    He then secretly glanced at the other members of the Vendetta Squad,

    Except for Jian Li and Huo Xiao, who remained calm,

    The other members all showed a trace of eeriness,

    ......

    This kind of expression could only be detected by undercover agents,

    Ordinary people couldn't perceive it.

    How to explain this kind of tacit understanding?

    It's like people doing the same job would have a kind of empathy......

    "Have you seen enough?" Luo Xiaohong suddenly interrupted Yuan Feng's thoughts, "What are we going to eat later? Are we really going with compressed biscuits?!"

    "Should I go hunting?"

    Lu Yuanhang was shocked, "You can hunt too?! Are you a caveman?!"

    "Caveman or not, see if I don't beat you!"

    Luo Xiaohong raised her fist, and Lu Yuanhang quickly shrank his head.

    His movements were fluid, as if he had gotten used to being beaten,

    And had learned how to dodge.

    "We can't light a fire," Jian Li's calm voice came, "It will expose our position."

    "Do you want my meat can?"

    "Meat can?!" Luo Xiaohong's eyes lit up, "Where did you get it? It wasn't in the backpack?"

    Jian Li curved his lips, "Wasn't someone just eliminated a moment ago? I took these from their bags."

    "You can do that?!", Luo Xiaohong exclaimed, completely caught off guard, before turning to see the others also taking out meat cans, "Seriously, am I the only one who got a good deal?! I didn’t even think of that?!"

    "Here, Sister Hong!" Yuan Feng tossed one over, "I grabbed two!"

    Zhou Nan pouted, "Our backpacks have different stuff. Is this some kind of preferential treatment?"

    "I'd like to believe it's random, to encourage us to snatch from each other," Shi Huayi said as he opened a can, "After all, the rules are clear, haha, it's about embracing the thrill of being a caveman."

    Zhou Nan glared at him, "Your 'haha' sounds kind of sleazy."

    Shi Huayi shot back, "Sleazy? What about your creepy photo-taking?!"

    Zhou Nan's face darkened.

    Lu Yuanhang leaned over, "What photo?"

    "None of your business," Zhou Nan's cheeks turned slightly red.

    Lu Yuanhang wasn't deterred by the scolding and shamelessly asked, "Can you spare me a can?"

    "No," Shi Huayi answered on Zhou Nan's behalf, "He only got one."

    Just as Lu Yuanhang was about to feel disappointed, he heard,

    "You can have one of mine."

    "Thanks, bro!" Lu Yuanhang grinned immediately.

    "Haha, isn't this well-behaved now?! Suddenly becoming so sensible?!", Shi Huayi teased.

    "In the past, the arrogance was because there was something to rely on. Now, on this deserted island, he can only depend on the Vendetta Squad. If he's not well-behaved, what else can he do?!"

    "Shi Huayi: Haha, we can argue and fool around all we want, but touching my wife's can? Absolutely not!"

    Jian Li noticed Huo Xiao was still organizing his things and asked, "Do you have any?"

    "Cans?" Huo Xiao raised an eyebrow, "I don't eat them. I'm not too hungry."

    "The jungle escape is a physically demanding task; you should replenish some energy," Jian Li said, handing over an open can.

    Huo Xiao shook the compressed biscuits in his hand, "I've been eating vegetarian lately; these biscuits can fill me up."

    Jian Li frowned, "..." Nutritional imbalance from a vegetarian diet, you know.

    He didn't say it out loud, respecting everyone's dietary habits.

    But he couldn't help sneaking a glance. Seeing Huo Xiao stand up, his tall and lean figure made Jian Li wonder, "Can you really get this fit from a vegetarian diet?!"

    Is it the plant-based protein he's consuming?

    Jian Li withdrew his gaze and quickly finished the can, still feeling a little unsatisfied.

    Considering whether to eat some compressed biscuits to fill the gap,

    a lean arm stretched over, "I have a can, you can have it."

    Jian Li turned his head in surprise and saw the gentle affection in Huo Xiao's eyes.

    "Oh-ho, saving it for your wife, aren't you?!", someone teased.

    "Hey! Watching a survival show, and you're feeding me dog food?!"
