Sitting on the boat heading to the small island, Song Jixing's ears caught her name changing.
From that little girl, it changed to that girl with great strength.
Song Jixing didn't mind helping others and doing good deeds every day.
This friendly atmosphere continued until they arrived on the island.
The port where the group docked on the island was very modernized, with neat asphalt roads close to the coastline and three-story modern warm-colored buildings.
Y City was located in the temperate zone, so the seawater wasn't as clean and translucent as the tropics, but the repaired and tidy small island was still quite nice.
When the group excitedly hauled their suitcases, intoxicated by the island's charming golden sunset over the coastline and the cool, comfortable sea breeze, the staff came with carts and plastic baskets, and the island's cameras and video cameras were already prepared and ready.
At this time, hidden loudspeakers on the island sounded directly.
"Welcome guests to our island to participate in this event. This event will last one week, covering the entire island. The events on the island will use a daily points system... The players with the highest accumulated points have a chance to win the mysterious prize given out by the program team..."
"What's the mysterious prize? Could it be they'll just give me an island?" Hu Hui hugged the backpack in front of his chest, one hand pushing a suitcase, and said expectantly.
The small islands of Y City weren't too big, but there were many, over 100. However, because of the distance from the sea and the deep seabed, installing fiber optic cables was difficult, so it was only in recent years that they were developed.
Before this, the islands were mostly inhabited by various birds passing through the area.
After walking a short distance, the group saw a pavilion not far away at the edge of the forest, with a sign next to it and many people wearing little yellow vests standing there.
At first, they thought these were staff who had come to welcome them, and enthusiastically went up to greet them for a while, before finding out these were staff responsible for checking their luggage and confiscating any unsuitable items.
"What are unsuitable items?" Sang Xueqing raised her slender, fair neck, a bewildered and blank look on her face.
A few minutes later, she learned the cruel truth.
This was an Island Survival show, and aside from tools provided by the program team, nothing else was allowed to be brought.
"Are the cups I drink water from considered tools too?" Qiu Ye asked incredulously.
The program staff came to explain again that they would provide drinking vessels, and no matter how unwilling, everyone could only hand over all their things.
The guests who had arrived prepared all kinds of items, filling up their suitcases.
Only two people's luggage made them particularly surprised. One was Song Jixing's - she had prepared very little, only half a suitcase of things.
Even Qiu Ye sighed while looking at Song Jixing's suitcase, "You only prepared these things?"
In Song Jixing's suitcase there were only changes of clothes, toothbrush and towel, and she had brought absolutely no skincare products.
For a female artist, this was an inconceivable thing!
However, everyone's attention quickly shifted to Zhu Chongguang's suitcase.
After the program staff opened Zhu Chongguang's suitcase, everyone was shocked to discover:
Inside were over 10cm thick wooden cutting boards, huge enameled pots and woks for stir-frying, a kettle for boiling water, iron bowls, and various cooking utensils like knives, spatulas, several glass seasoning bottles, and even soy sauce and vinegar.
Most outrageously, there were also folding stools and various dried goods.
The guests were all left dumbfounded.
Hu Hui couldn't even close his mouth. "You brought so many things?"
Song Xiang was curious: "How did you get the knife and folding stool, which are restricted items, through airport security?"
Faced with everyone's curiosity, Zhu Chongguang was very calm. "I bought them after arriving in Y City, specially went to the market half a day early to buy them. Hearing this was wilderness survival, I prepared cooking items. I was worried the program team would have us rub sticks to make fire, so I even prepared a box of matches and a waterproof lighter."
As Zhu Chongguang spoke, he took out these tools from his backpack to show everyone.
Zhu Chongguang frankly showed everyone the tools he had brought, earning admiration for coming well-prepared from the guests, though of course the staff still mercilessly confiscated them.
The staff sorted the belongings of each guest into different categories on the carts and boxes, preparing to take them away. Zhu Chongguang still chased persistently after them with his backpack, "Hey, won't you leave me a box of matches?"
"Leaving a lighter is fine too!"
Of course, the staff did not bend the rules for personal favors.
After taking away the extra tools, the guests' activities on the island kicked off.
Before coming to the island, everyone had drawn a card, which was a scratch card.
They had to scratch off the coating to reveal the key prop hidden underneath.
After everyone's carried items were confiscated, the island loudspeaker sounded again: [Please guests take out the cards you drew and scratch them to determine your number.]
Standing under the trees on the island, everyone directly started on the scratch card segment.
"Oh, I'm 1!"
"I'm 3."
"I'm 5."
Song Jixing scratched her card and found she was number 7.
After exchanging identities, it turned out all the numbers were present except for 2.
[Please guests keep your number cards safe and hand them to staff before 7am tomorrow to exchange for your exclusive prop tools. Please do not casually exchange cards, guests who exchange cards will have 10 points deducted!]
The number Zhu Chongguang drew was 6.
He was very pleased with the number he drew, carefully putting it in his bag, and exclaiming "Double sixes, great!"
The guests didn't know what tools the different numbers represented, so naturally they had no thoughts of exchanging cards.
Considering the late hour and everyone's fatigue from traveling, the island staff didn't arrange any tasks for the first day, and instead let them go rest directly.
The guests carried their luggage and took the island sightseeing vehicle.
After passing through two kilometers of woods, they finally arrived at the hotel deep in the forest. Seeing the huge modern garden-like hotel and the enormous lake next to it, the guests' worries about the trip lessened somewhat.
Qiu Ye: "The scenery around this hotel is quite nice! You can stand right on the balcony and see the lake."
Zhu Chongguang thumped his chest: "I thought coming to the island they'd make me sleep in a cave!"
Song Jixing glanced around briefly, without much impression.
Since this variety show was to promote tourism to Y City's islands, naturally they wouldn't house them in too shabby a place, discouraging tourists.
However, it probably wouldn't be so simple, just sightseeing the whole time. Since it was a survival show, the entertainment value wouldn't be so poor.
When she took the boat over, she had seen from afar that this was quite a large island, with probably many activities.
She would just treat it as an outing, casually playing around.
