The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits
Chapter 616 - 620: Scandal Queen (21)

It was said that the production team had grandly chartered a luxurious cruise ship to head to the selected island.

When they saw the beautifully decorated three-tier cruise ship at the dock, all the guests breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they knew they were about to participate in a survival show and had mentally prepared when they agreed to join,

Wang Bai, Xie Susu, and others couldn’t help but worry that the production team had gone too extreme.

It wouldn’t be them playing a game anymore; it would be the game playing them.

Looking at past shows, all survival-themed programs were still manageable for ordinary people.

Although they suspected that this episode might maintain previous standards, they feared the production team might throw an unexpected curveball.

It wasn’t until they saw the super luxurious cruise ship that they at least confirmed the upcoming tasks wouldn’t be simple but also wouldn’t exceed their capabilities.

Otherwise, in keeping with their style, they would have just been thrown into an old, rickety boat from the start.

In reality, Wang Bai, Xie Susu, and the others were all mistaken.

This kind of suppress-before-elevating approach was still too naive for the young, unable to see through it...

Watching the guests’ delighted expressions, the chief director revealed a sly, knowing smile.

After boarding, everyone gained a clearer, more comprehensive understanding of the cruise ship.

The production team had indeed spent a fortune this time.

The cruise ship was decorated exquisitely, and there were waiters in tailcoats carrying trays, weaving through the crowd.

Su Li and his group received a warm welcome.

Su Li noticed that from the moment they had boarded, the original crew’s way of addressing them had changed.

Perhaps everyone else was too busy observing their surroundings to pay attention to how the waiters were addressing them.

But Su Li noticed several subtle details.

The most discordant was the expression on the captain who came out to greet them with a group of waiters after they boarded.

It seemed skeptical yet inquisitive.

The other party masked their emotion quickly, so if one weren’t observing closely, they wouldn’t have noticed at all.

Although Su Li didn’t know why, he still quietly noted this.

Then, a cruise manager warmly smiled at Xie Susu, Wang Bai, and others, saying, "Miss, Young Master, your rooms are ready. Follow me to rest first."

"Don’t worry, the rooms for the guests are prepared as well."

Based on this odd conversation, Xie Susu also sensed something was amiss. But since the show hadn’t started broadcasting yet, she couldn’t think too far ahead.

On the other hand, Wang Bai agonized for a moment before quickly whispering in her ear, taking the opportunity to get closer, "The show has already started the moment we boarded the ship."

Xie Susu’s expression sharpened, her eyes swiftly scanning the surroundings.

Not far from her, two ordinary people, Xu Xiaoqing and Zeng Yan, were still admiring everything with admiring eyes that seemed to see too little.

The others, more distant, appeared casual.

Instead, the directors looked sleazy, huddled aside, seemingly mumbling and discussing something.

It seemed that apart from Wang Bai, the others, like her, were unaware of this information.

Wang Bai gave Xie Susu a sweet smile as he nodded, his decision calculated.

Rather than waiting for Xie Susu to discover it herself, he thought it better to inform her in advance and inherently earn her gratitude.

Two people later became teammates for half a month, and judging from Xie Susu’s intelligence, she didn’t seem like the foolish type that would drag her team down.

As for the others, they didn’t get any extra tips from the servants, and naturally missed the opportunity to know the truth.

Everyone was assigned to their rooms. The dramatic part is that the rooms of Qin Qing, Lang Erping, and Su Li were all together.

Ah, it seemed like the production team spared no effort in always trying to push her into the trash heap, so annoying...

Lang Erping, however, was very happy, as if he had suddenly seen the light.

He no longer glared aggressively when he saw Qin Qing but treated her as if she were air, completely ignoring her. Instead, he focused his energy on getting closer to Su Li.

With Lang Erping acting this way, Qin Qing felt a bit upset again.

When Lang Erping tried to strike up a conversation with Su Li and reminisce about the past, Xue Guo ferociously bumped him with his shoulder, glaring fiercely as he said, "Stay away from her."

At this moment, the live broadcasting room erupted with howling sounds.

"Fangirling so hard, how can Xue Guo be so manly... Boyfriend material right there, let me add what she didn’t get to say: Stay away from her, she’s mine."

"I didn’t expect her to be this kind of artist; so this is what they call a ’gap moe.’"

Turning his head, the previously fierce-looking Xue Guo quickly switched to a domineering expression and said, "Come stay with me on the third floor later."

"The room is big, and you can see the sea view."

No one knew on what basis the rooms had been prepared.

Wang Bai, Xie Susu, and Xue Guo’s room was on the third floor of the cruise ship.

While the other six people’s rooms were all on the second floor.

Lang Erping was practically on the verge of a heart attack. He knew that in this modern society, besides male-female pairings, there was another kind called ’les’.

And in their circle, this phenomenon was no longer strange, and numerous people had come out publicly.

Now he had to deal with a female rival in love?

Looking at his face, it was clear what he was thinking, and Su Li felt disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly.

It’s like his skin had been corroded away by the waters of the Wangchuan River.

Suddenly, Su Li felt an itch in her hand.

She couldn’t hold back, and slapped Lang Erping’s handsome face.

"Sorry, there was a fly..."

"Wow, she’s so beautiful when she speaks nonsense with that expressionless face. I’ve decided, from now on, this miss is my Little Cutie."

Xue Guo glanced around at the air only filled with the damp smell of the sea, then seriously added, "Hmm, I heard it too, the sound of a fly."

The production team, which had been focused on monitoring the screen for a hundred years without moving, had a few people who couldn’t help themselves. They sneaked a peek at the live scene from around a corner.

Hey, you... don’t think that just because you’re sticking your buttocks out and covering your eyes, others can’t see you.

Su Li walked slowly towards the few sneaking staff with a face that was hard to look at directly.

"Negative review, since you’re going to spy, at least be professional about it. Your perfunctory attitude really embarrasses me."

Do you think her eyes are just for decoration...

However, Lang Erping was quite hurt; he was still sunk in the memories of his past life, believing that his Qingqing shouldn’t be like this.

It’s just his resentful energy speaking—he is already so miserable now, she should forgive him by now.

Mother was right, when a woman’s heart turns cruel, it’s not just at an ordinary level.

He always thought Qingqing was different, that she was unlike any other woman. But now, even she had changed.
