The next day, three in the morning.

The competition had only been going on for fifteen hours, and five out of ten contestants had been eliminated. They were … Warren. Buffett, Lindsay … Arhat and Solomon. Baron Chai Erde and Bellak. Hossein. Aoguanhai and Easter. Ancient.

Among them … Arhat, ao guanhai, and Gu were all the characters that Feng bujue had played as Stephen. Carbon was eliminated, while Buffett was eliminated by Arhat.

As for that Solomon. Screw, Baron Chai Erde … He had forfeited. After finding the first marijuana hiding spot, he stopped in place and leisurely smoked the two cannabis in the plastic bag. Then he announced to a nearby camera that he wanted to withdraw from the game.

Objectively speaking, the Baron’s move was quite wise. In a situation where they knew that their chances of winning were not high, forfeiting was undoubtedly the most sensible way. If he continued to hold on to the mentality of getting lucky, the situation would only get worse. Compared to “having your knee smashed” or “playing with all your might for 72 hours but still failing in the end”, it was better to quit early.

!!

In addition, among the five lucky survivors, there was one more who was almost half-eliminated. It was contestant No. 10, Youyou John. Winston Pus.

Just like the Baron, Mr. Festoon immediately finished smoking the first batch of cannabis he found. But after drawing, he didn’t give up, nor did he continue to explore …

He just stayed where he was and rested quietly for a few hours …

His attitude was very negative, as if he didn’t plan to do anything.

Helplessly, the program team sent a staff member over to ask him if there was something wrong with his body. In the end, the pus replied that he was meditating for love and peace, and his actions were a protest against the show and the world.

Hence, the crew left again because the director had decided to … Let him continue protesting …

In summary, the only players on the island who were still competitive were block, Bubo, laden, and carbon.

If the pace of elimination continued on the first day, the survivors of this issue of “poison seeking in the wilderness” would probably be born before the sunset of the second day.

And this … Was something that Feng bujue did not want to see.

Now, he looked back at the two main quests of this scenario: [Survive for 72 hours on cannabis Island] and [complete at least six challenges from the festival Group], a lot of hidden information could be seen … Or rather, the hidden “difficulties.”

First of all, the phrase “survive on kannabis Island for 72 hours”… Was a huge trap in itself.

Under the misdirection of the opening cinematics and the second main mission, the players could easily develop a habitual thought, as if the goal of this scenario was to win poison seeking in the wilderness.

However … As the scenario unfolded, Feng bujue slowly realized that … That was not the case.

If you looked at the first main mission alone, you would find that … There was no absolute causal relationship between surviving on the island for 72 hours and winning the game.

Secondly, there was an obvious restriction that stated that you had to wait for the program team to “give” the challenge to you. “But … What if they don’t give it to you? Or … Do they feel that there is no need to give it to you anymore?

I’m sure everyone understands now …

If the player quickly eliminated all nine opponents and won the game, the scenario would be game over.

Because from the moment you won, you had no reason to stay on this Island …

If you insist on staying on this deserted island, there are usually two outcomes. Everyone would just think that you were being tsundere for a moment and return to the ship to wait for you for a day and a half. The worse and more likely result was: People would capture you as a lunatic and forcefully drag you onto a boat. We’ll talk after you leave the island …

Taking a step back, even if you managed to stay on the island for 72 hours, the Jie group wouldn’t give you any more “challenges”.

Therefore, the real difficulty of this scenario was … The two main quests were actually in conflict with each other. The basic setting of the plot would also conflict with these two missions.

This kind of conflict wasn’t completely opposite to each other. Instead, it was a relationship of mutual restraint. For example … If a player wanted to complete the first main mission, they could not win the game too early. However, if he wanted to complete main task 2, he had to do the challenge. However, doing the challenge would expand his advantage and win the competition faster …

Also, how to deal with those “opponents” was also a very complicated and contradictory matter. If they were all eliminated, you would win the competition and lose the script … But if you kept them alive, it would be equivalent to keeping a potential threat.

Any opponent could deal a fatal blow at an unexpected moment (brother Jue had almost been eliminated by Arhat earlier. If not for Kevin, he would have been done for), and their threat would only increase as time passed.

Because … The situation at the end of the game would inevitably be: There were only a few people left on the island, and among them, the player had completed the most challenges. And it was unlikely for the others to complete more than six challenges (after all, they didn’t have any hard criteria in this regard)… So, if they wanted to win, there was only one way to eliminate the person who completed more challenges.

Think about it, in the early morning of the fourth day, there were still about ten hours before the end of the competition. Anyone who had not been eliminated would definitely think,”we’ve already come this far, I want to win!” Such a thought. At this time, they were usually hungry and sleepy, addicted to drugs, eager to win, and had lost their minds …

By then, the Jie mu group would stir up trouble for the people who fell behind. They would reveal some information about the people in the lead and give them a choice: “Do you want to take another challenge from me and try to surpass him … Or do you want to know his current coordinates and do something?”

Following that, the most interesting part of the reality show was about the crazy tussles, vulgarities, and scuffles between the two girls.

This was the guarantee of viewership ratings, and this was what the audience of that era wanted to see …

One could say that it was morbid, depraved, or vulgar, but in their eyes, it was so normal that there was no need to explain.

Once upon a time, people looked at everything that appeared on the screen in good faith and were moved by some not-so-brilliant but very sincere performances.

Later on, people looked at entertainment products with a relatively objective attitude and enjoyed the wonderful creativity and dazzling visual effects.

Later on, people began to pursue standing out and being weird in order to show off their so-called “personality” that no one cared about, or to satisfy certain needs deep in their hearts. As a result, perverted propaganda, mentally-retarded idol culture, lowly and vulgar hype, and shameless plagiarists emerged and gradually became the mainstream.

However, in the 25th century, in a peaceful era where no one had to worry about hunger, what was the thing that people were looking forward to seeing …

The answer was simple: conflict, violence, and competition.

The crowd had seen enough of the fake tears, fake smiles, fake praises, and fake surprises on the stage. They wanted to see a naked, unpolished, and real reality show.

This was poison seeking in the wilderness.

…………

In the cave.

The fire on the ground had been extinguished.

The heavy rain outside the cave gradually turned into a drizzle. The Thunder stopped around midnight, and the wind weakened a lot.

Last night, when brother Jue and Kevin had gone to hunt for Garat alligators, the festival team had braved the rain to come to the cave and carried away the injured Arhat. Therefore, when brother Jue returned with the crocodile meat, there was no one in the cave.

Since it was raining, these people had left obvious traces. Feng bujue, who returned, quickly deduced what had happened.

He didn’t care about that. He just lit the fire again, and while drying his clothes and socks, he enjoyed a delicious meal that he had never tasted in real life.

It was a quiet night …

At midnight, Feng bujue, who had rested for several hours, had basically filled up his stamina points.

This also meant that he was about to take action …
