Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 430: I Quit

Chapter 430: Chapter 430: I Quit

"Hey, do we join a team that’s short on members, or do we form our own?"

"I’ve already made up my mind. I want to join Team A and follow Ji Yanbai. We’ll definitely be living the high life!"

"Or we’ll just form our own team? I just scored 20 points on my own. No need to look elsewhere."

"..."

On the cruise ship, a few people gathered together and started discussing the reality show’s rules.

They were a group of eleven, and excluding the six substitutes, the rest could form a team on their own.

Among the substitutes were top players with scores of 100 and newbies with just 5 points, all calculating the best way to team up.

Soon, they noticed a young boy sitting in a corner.

One of them poked the leader, "What’s with that kid over there, how can minors now participate in survival shows?"

"Who knows," the leader glanced over and responded, "Looks clean-cut, skinny arms and legs, probably just there to make up the numbers. Let’s not bother with him."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng, hidden in the shadows, stirred slightly.

Then he raised his wrist, gave his watch a light swipe, and revealed his score—

50 points.

Ha, did they really think he was a pushover?

The new substitute roster hadn’t yet been updated in the ranking, but Jiang Cheng had already gathered some intel about the situation on the island.

The top five teams and the bottom five teams were worlds apart, with a severe imbalance in resource distribution.

As for his dear brother and sister—

Jiang Yan was doing inexplicably well thanks to sheer dumb luck.

And that female devil... she was probably being tormented by her own team by now.

It seemed he truly had to rely on himself.

With this thought, Jiang Cheng’s gaze lingered among the people on the ship.

Just like them, he wanted to form his own team.

After all, only by doing so could he ensure the absolute obedience of others.

But whether or not others would follow him remained to be seen.

Jiang Cheng carefully observed each person’s movements, then suddenly noticed something odd.

Weren’t there supposed to be eleven substitute guests?

Why were there only nine people here?

Where were the other two?

As he pondered, a sweet voice came from above—

"Chengcheng, is that you?"

"Would you join our team?"

...

...

Dragon Ridge Island.

After hearing the new rules announced by Zheng Xun, everyone fell silent.

Jiang Li was the first to break the silence.

"So you all think I had something to do with the theft of supplies?"

Nina snorted coldly, "Isn’t that obvious?"

Pan Xing nodded in agreement.

Now, even Guan Xiong kept his face cold and silent.

Aside from this explanation, he could think of no other.

"If that’s the case," Jiang Li said, "then I’m out."

Nina, surprised yet somewhat delighted, quickly suppressed her emotions and scornfully said, "Feeling guilty, huh? You still have time to quit."

"Who said I was quitting?" Jiang Li smiled and replied, "I mean I’m leaving the team. Since there’s no longer any trust in me, there’s no need to remain as teammates."

At this, Nina grew even angrier.

"What gives you the right? You caused us to lose all our supplies, and now you want to just walk away scot-free?" freeweɓnøvel.com

Jiang Li’s expression remained calm, but his words spared no feelings.

"Unless you show direct evidence that I have anything to do with the theft, you’re merely slandering."

"You!" Nina turned pale with rage, "Who do you think our team is? Come and go as you please? And besides, when did Director Zheng’s rules state that quitting was allowed?"

Jiang Li coolly stated, "Director Zheng just announced that eleven substitute members will be joining, and teams that are short can compete for them. Since I’m leaving, it’s the perfect time for you to attract new members."

Nina said nothing, her mind racing.

Initially, this was all just meant to make Jiang Li misunderstood, to make her taste what it was like being chased and cursed by millions of netizens.

But now, she had actually initiated the request to leave the team.

Dragon Ridge Island was vast; a girl alone without the team’s protection surely wouldn’t survive.

Perhaps even an accident would happen.

And then, she wouldn’t be held accountable for anything.

With this thought, Nina smirked and narrowed her eyes, "Fine, you can leave the team, but you can’t take anything with you. After all, the remaining items are our team’s common resources. You don’t have any points, why should you act so high and mighty?"

"Fine."

What Nina hadn’t expected was for Jiang Li to agree so readily.

"Farewell."

With these words softly leaving her lips, she walked into the forest without turning back.

She took nothing.

[Holy sh*t, Jiang Li is leaving just like that?!]

[Ahh, Sister Li, don’t be impulsive! It’s dangerous going alone!]

[That’s too hasty, isn’t it?]

[Heh, where does Jiang Li get the confidence to think she can survive alone? Don’t let her run into another team and get eliminated right away.]

[666 Sister Li really knows how to exploit the loopholes in the rules!]

Zheng Xun, watching next to the monitor, spat out his coffee onto the desk.

He gritted his teeth in frustration and said, "Did I ever mention that rule?!"

His assistant, by now accustomed to his outbursts, calmly took out a document.

"Although you never specified, Miss Jiang’s actions indeed do not violate any rules."

Zheng Xun: "..."

When will Jiang Li finally be gone?!

...

Watching Jiang Li’s resolute figure disappearing into the distance without looking back, Nina and the others were stunned.

Guan Xiong, snapping out of it, looked worriedly in the direction Jiang Li had left.

"Is this really okay? She’s still a girl, even if she really was involved, we can’t just leave her alone on the island."

"So what?" Nina dismissed it, "She wanted to leave on her own. From now on, she’s no longer a member of Team G. Why should we care?"

Guan Xiong pondered for a moment.

Nina did have a point.

Jiang Li hadn’t contributed much to the team thus far, and in fact, she’d been a constant problem.

Even yesterday’s encounter with Team E was probably just a fluke.

Wouldn’t it be better to replace her with a more capable member?

Thus, Guan Xiong also chose to remain silent.

"Alright then, let’s think of a solution for our current situation."

"Mmm."

The group then walked into their tent.

Yu Li stood still, glanced at them, then looked in the direction Jiang Li had headed, deep in thought.
