Chapter 1 – She Brought a Cat

[ Congratulations to user 0123 for completing all missions and returning to your original world. ]

[ The system will unbind you in three seconds. Three, two, one! ]

[ I wish you a smooth life~]

The voice in her mind disappeared completely.

She really… she really came back?

Song Qingyou suddenly opened her eyes.

There was a cardboard box on the table in front of her.

A dirty silver-white tiger-striped cat was lying inside.

There was a lot of commotion around her.

“I’m not seeing things, right? She actually brought a cat?!”

“Participating in Man vs Wild with a cat?”

“Even a bottle of water is better than a cat, right?”

“Did she go to the wrong set?”

“This is too brave!”

…

The discussions continued.

Song Qingyou gradually recalled the situation in her original world.

Because her family had gone bankrupt and was in debt, her adoptive father had been so anxious that he had fallen into a coma.

With no other choice, Song Qingyou became an artist under Jiayi Media by virtue of her good looks, and starred in a web drama.

In the end, not only was she ridiculed as a flower vase after the web drama was broadcast, but she was also pushed by someone after a dinner party and ran into Jiang Zhihan, the heir of the Jiang consortium.

As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to manage, but the little ghost is hard to deal with.

Jiang Zhihan wouldn’t notice a small artiste like her, but there were so many people who wanted to please Jiang Zhihan. How could they let her go?

When she was in a dilemma, her manager, Chen Lan, urged her to participate in Man vs Wild 3.

Since the first two episodes had been exposed to be scripts, the show had lost its popularity. The program team had gone all out and announced that the new episode would be live-streamed 24 hours a day.

It required real ability. Coupled with the lack of traffic and funding, this episode could not invite any popular stars to participate, and the number of people paying attention to it was pitifully small.

Otherwise, this show wouldn’t give a chance to Song Qingyou, an eighteenth-tier actress!

But Song Qingyou didn’t expect that she would get into a car accident before coming to the show.

If it wasn’t for the self-proclaimed ‘Quick Travel System’, she would have been dead long ago!

After crossing through many worlds, how could Song Qingyou not understand? The Song family’s bankruptcy, Father Song’s coma, her suppression, and even that car accident…

It was not an accident!

Just like the stray cat in the box.

There was a 100% chance that someone had deliberately switched things!

This was because there was an important rule in the program: In addition to the necessary change of clothes, each of the six guests could only bring one item to the survival location.

The items brought by each person cannot be the same.

Song Qingyou clearly remembered that she had prepared an all-purpose flashlight at that time, not the stray cat she had saved on the way!

At this moment, the kitten, which was less than 30 cm in height, was curled up into a ball, its chest heaving slightly. It was obviously not in a good state.

The cat-loving Song Qingyou subconsciously picked it up.

“The items that Qingyou brought are very unexpected!”

The director came back to his senses and glared at the staff who were discussing among themselves. The scene then quieted down.

However, the bullet comments in the live broadcast room were not so friendly.

[ Originally when Song Qingyou appeared, her face was stunning, but I didn’t expect her to have a problem with her brain… ]

[ When God opens a window for you, he will close a door. Song Qingyou must have exchanged her IQ for her looks, right? ]

[ This is the first time I’ve seen a person with a pet in Man vs Wild! ]

[ The most important thing is Song Qingyou’s delicate appearance. She can’t even take care of herself, right? ]

[ In comparison, the one with a pot and a bag of salt is too normal! ]

[ Is she here for a vacation? ]

…

The audience’s words were getting more and more venomous, and many people in the venue were also quite critical.

On the other hand, Song Qingyou herself was surprisingly calm from beginning to end.

Lin Xing, as an internet celebrity with millions of fans, was already unhappy that she was overshadowed by an 18th-tier actress. Seeing that Song Qingyou actually dared to bring a cat to participate in the show, she gloated in her heart.

Now, seeing Song Qingyou’s uncaring appearance, she shouted in displeasure, “We’re going to the wilderness for survival. You don’t have to be so obvious if you want to drag us down with your pet!”

Song Qingyou’s pair of peach blossom eyes raised slightly, and a sly smile overflowed on her lips.

“The rules of the show state that you can bring anything you want. I’m only bringing a cat. Is there a problem?”

Lin Xing pretended to be wronged. “The rules are like that, but we need to work together in the wild. We are a team. You should at least think about the others…”

[ Sister Xing is right! Song Qingyou is selfish, she never thought of others ]

[ Oh, Man vs. Wild hasn’t even started and they’re already fighting? ]

Looking at the pitiful appearance of the person in front of her, Song Qingyou suddenly laughed.

“What are you laughing at?” Lin Xing glared at her. “What’s so funny about what I said?”

How could he still laugh at a time like this?

Song Qingyou gently stroked the cat’s head and slowly curled her lips. “I’m laughing at the person who uses her brain as a decoration.”

“What do you mean by that?” Lin Xing’s expression froze.

Song Qingyou made the cat in her arms face the camera. “This cat is obviously a stray cat, can’t you tell?”

After she finished speaking, she tilted her head and smiled with great interest.

“You can’t wait to come out and blame me… Did you put this cat in there?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Lin Xing’s eyes widened in anger, but she hid the panic in her eyes.

“I have no grudges with you. Am I crazy that I’d do this?”

“I’m sorry,” Song Qingyou said indifferently, “Medical records are personal privacy. I really don’t know if you have them.”

“You!” Lin Xing was so angry that she clenched his fists.

[ Lin Xing’s face changed. ]

[ Song Qingyou’s words are a little too much. ]

[ This cat is thin and dirty. It’s a stray cat. ]

[ Who would catch a stray cat for the show? Song Qingyou is not a fool. ]

[ Was it really Lin Xing who released it? ]

[ Lin Xing is an internet celebrity and has little interaction with Song Qingyou. Could it be the production team? ]

The director saw that the bullet screen’s ‘direction’ was not right and spoke in time. “Man vs Wild is a serious show. The production team will not joke about the personal safety of the guests. We will investigate this matter later…”

“Back to the main topic, Song Qingyou, do you want to change your carry-on now?”

Hearing this, Lin Xing looked over and bit her lower lip subconsciously, as if she was worried that the other party would reply with a ‘yes’.

Song Qingyou glanced at her and chuckled.

“Don’t misunderstand, that’s not what I meant.”

“I’m bringing this cat to the show. I told the truth just now because… I don’t want people to suspect that my IQ is below average.”

An injured stray cat was left here. Who knew what would happen to it?

What’s more, Song Qingyou had already been to the apocalypse, so why would she be afraid of bringing a cat to survive in the wilderness?

However, after she finished speaking, the live broadcast room was filled with question marks.

[ You’re very cool to say such things, but can you not puff yourself up at your own cost? ]

[ Does Song Qingyou not know the meaning of wilderness survival at all? ]

[ I’ll say it here, if Song Qingyou really clears the game, I’ll live-stream eating my keyboard! ]

“Are you sure?” the director asked.

Song Qingyou nodded. “I’m sure.”

Lin Xing’s clenched fist suddenly loosened.

[ Has Song Qingyou gone crazy? ]

[ Acting cool for a moment, Survival Crematorium ]

[ This is to attract attention, right? I have to say, it’s a bad move. ]

[ It’s not a problem to do it on some other shows, but this is Man vs. Wild!]

[ Will she throw the cat away halfway? ]

[ I’m dying of laughter. I’ve already decided to stay in the live broadcast room and see how long it will take for Song Qingyou to flip. ]

[ Let’s make a bet! Two days. ]

[ Then I’ll bet a day.]

Because of Song Qingyou, there were more bullet comments in the live broadcast room.

The program team hoped that the guests would do more of this kind of showmanship, so naturally they wouldn’t stop it.
