Chapter 67 - 67 67 What Use Can It Be
?Chapter 67: Chapter 67 What Use Can It Be? Chapter 67: Chapter 67 What Use Can It Be? Lu Xun looked at her sweet smile and couldn’t help but have a hint of laughter in his eyes.
“Don’t mention it, I truly think you’re a good fit, which is why I recommended you.”
“After this live broadcast ends, I’ll have the production team contact you.”
He took out his phone and added, “Let me send you the script to take a look at first.”
Luo Ning nodded with a smile, “Great!”
Soon she was looking at the script on her mobile phone, occasionally discussing a few lines with Lu Xun. The two of them seemed very close, laughing and talking, which left the guests seated around them astonished.
They knew that even though Emperor Lu appeared gentle and refined, he was actually very hard to approach, maintaining a distant coldness toward everyone, let alone taking the initiative to be friendly like this.
Luo Ning is formidable indeed. Not only can she get Emperor Lu to take notice, but she can also make him laugh and open up.
Ji Xinghang, sitting not far away, stared fixedly at Luo Ning and Lu Xun with a fretful feeling in his heart.
He had originally planned to sit next to Luo Ning when he boarded the plane, but that man had beaten him to it. Was he here just to thwart Ji Xinghang?
Bo Xiangxiang also felt particularly sour as she watched the two of them laughing and talking. It was her first time seeing her male idol this close with a woman. What did Luo Ning have that she could receive such special treatment from the idol?
Even though she was seething with jealousy, she could only bear it; otherwise, she would push him even further away.
Her gaze settled on Ji Xinghang, realizing that reconciling with him was more important at the moment.
So, she stood up and went to fetch herself a cup of water. Just then, the plane encountered turbulence and shook a little, and her water accidentally spilled onto Tong Jia, who was sitting next to Ji Xinghang.
“Teacher Tong, I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.” She said apologetically.
Tong Jia looked at his wet shirt, feeling rather displeased, but he couldn’t very well make a fuss with a girl, and said indifferently, “It’s fine!”
His shirt was soaked through, so he had no choice but to stand up and head to the bathroom to change.
Bo Xiangxiang took the opportunity to sit next to Ji Xinghang with a face full of grievances, looking at him, “Xinghang, are you still mad at me?”
As Ji Xinghang turned his head, he saw Bo Xiangxiang looking at him with reddened eyes like a wounded rabbit. A voice popped up in his mind unexpectedly, She looks so pitiful; she needs to be pitied.
Ji Xinghang felt resistant. Why should he pity Bo Xiangxiang?
That voice kept echoing in his head, and as he looked at Bo Xiangxiang, his gaze softened.
Just as Bo Xiangxiang felt a burst of joy, thinking that Ji Xinghang indeed still cared about her, he suddenly stood up with rapid breaths and quickly walked past her to another bathroom.
His reaction was like he was being chased by some terrifying creature, drawing meaningful glances from the other passengers toward Bo Xiangxiang.
Bo Xiangxiang: “…” What on earth was wrong with Ji Xinghang? Was she that frightening?
On the other side, Ji Xinghang entered the bathroom and turned on the faucet, continually splashing water on his face until his emotions began to settle down.
The feeling that he wanted to pity Bo Xiangxiang had also vanished.
After a while, Ji Xinghang lifted his wet face, pulled a paper towel, and wiped it emotionlessly. There was a newfound indefinable chill in his gaze.
Such situations had occurred several times lately, and he felt it was very wrong.
After composing himself, he walked back to his seat, where Bo Xiangxiang was still sitting.
After sitting down, he coldly said to her, “This is Tong Jia’s seat, go back to your own.”
He wanted to keep his distance from Bo Xiangxiang.
Bo Xiangxiang had not expected Ji Xinghang to kick her out as soon as he got back, and she was inconsolably aggrieved. In front of so many people, she couldn’t say much and could only angrily rise and return to her place.
This scene was just witnessed by Tong Jia, who had returned after changing his clothes. A sarcastic curve formed at his lips; it seemed Bo Xiangxiang’s act of splashing water on him had been deliberate, all to get closer to Ji Xinghang.
He originally didn’t particularly dislike Bo Xiangxiang, but now he genuinely felt a touch of disdain.
After three hours of flight, the plane first arrived at the airport of a small country.
Then, the show’s crew immediately arranged for a helicopter to take the guests and trainees to the deserted island.
From the plane, the island seemed large, an oasis surrounded by the azure ocean, exuding an indescribable sense of mystery.
Several helicopters landed on an open expanse of reef by the beach, and everyone disembarked.
Not far away sat two Chinese and three foreigners, all of whom looked sturdy in build, with a sharpness to their demeanor and gaze that suggested they were no ordinary individuals.
Luo Ning’s gaze lingered on two of them for a moment, noting their postures among other things; they were likely special forces.
At that moment, all five stood up and walked over together.
The director introduced them to the guests and trainees, “These are the leaders the production has hired to guide your survival and to protect you covertly.”
“If you don’t encounter real danger, the protectors won’t show themselves, so I hope you all understand,” he added.
Otherwise, if they had to resolve every issue, what would be the point of the live stream.
The guests knew that once they were on the director’s ‘pirate ship’, they couldn’t get off, so they could only nod in agreement.
Seeing no objections from the group, the director continued with a smile, “Considering none of you have wilderness survival experience, we’ve prepared the same set of equipment for everyone; there’s no need for you to make your own selections.”
Most wilderness survival shows provide some items for the guests to choose from, which often ends up being a self-inflicted pitfall.
“Everyone starts on equal footing.” The director didn’t want to repeat what others had done; this way, the contrast would be more obvious.
Staff from the production team came over, carrying identical backpacks for each person, each with a name tag.
Having received his backpack, Tong Jia suggested with a smile, “Let’s all open our backpacks to see what’s inside.”
This way, they could understand what equipment they had and also verify that everyone’s was the same, to avoid being fooled by the director’s crew.
Everyone agreed and began to inspect their backpacks.
Luo Ning noticed that the backpack didn’t contain many items, but what was there was quite practical; this time, the production team hadn’t set them up for failure.
One set of camouflage clothes, a pair of military boots, a compressible thin down jacket, a bundle of rope, a stainless steel water bottle, an entrenching tool, a sleeping bag, a lighter, condiment powder, and a small knife.
And lastly, several packets of compressed biscuits and canned food.
Seeing no skincare or sunscreen in the backpack, Su Qinglan couldn’t hold back and asked, “Are we allowed to bring our own things?”
The director said with a smile, “Yes, you can take anything from your suitcases that you want to bring.”
The guests couldn’t possibly bring anything truly useful, which is why he was so generous.
So, everyone began to open their suitcases to take out what they needed, like spare clothes, toiletries, and skincare and sunscreen products.
Apart from these items, Luo Ning also took out a stack of talisman paper, a talisman pen, vermillion, and a compass from her suitcase, planning to stuff them into her backpack, which left everyone around her and those watching the live stream momentarily stunned.
In this world, Geomancy Xuanxue had nothing to do with feudal superstition, and many in the upper circles believed in it, with no shortage of those who did Feng Shui live streaming and the like.
So Luo Ning’s actions were not considered out of line, but it puzzled others as to what use these items could possibly have in wilderness survival.
