Chapter 488: Chapter 488: You Must Be the Captain Then!

"Lose face?" Nina’s voice rose sharply, "We’re already at a dead end, we have no points left, if we can’t find food today, we’ll starve to death on this island tomorrow. Our lives are at risk, and you’re talking to me about losing face?"

Guan Xiong didn’t speak, his face looking somewhat ugly.

Because he knew Nina was right.

These past few days, their luck had been horrible. Not only had they not found any food, but they also hadn’t even found a decent place to sleep. Both of them were already exhausted and emaciated. If there wasn’t a turning point soon, he feared he really would have to voluntarily give up his eligibility and leave the island.

[What’s going on? Why does Third Master look like this?]

[Seems like this island really isn’t fit for human habitation, huh? Third Master seemed so at ease with wilderness survival before. How could he have deteriorated so much in just ten days?]

[It’s their own fault for being so ruthless to their team members. Bad luck is their own doing.]

[Wait, why does this background look so familiar? How did they end up on Jiang Li’s territory?]

Nina had intentionally found this place.

Earlier this morning, she had received a message from a staff member of the show she had previously been in contact with. The person told her that Jiang Li currently had a lot of supplies, and as long as she could stay by her side and manage to trip her up, she could ensure her survival on the show and a wealth of resources waiting for her once she got out.

Nina knew that this staff member was Zheng Xun’s confidant, so she didn’t doubt his words at all. She immediately persuaded Guan Xiong to seek refuge with Jiang Li.

Although she had made things difficult for them before, they were still technically on the same team, and if she just acted pitiful, begged a little, and shed a few tears, she didn’t believe they could refuse to keep her.

With that in mind, Nina casually scooped up some dirt from the ground and smeared it on her face. Then she staggered towards the cave.

Not far away, Shang Shaojing and others witnessed this scene and fell silent.

Ren Yue said nervously, "What should we do? There’s already someone here, should we leave?"

Zhuola snorted coldly, "So what if there’s someone here? We’ve finally found such a good spot, are we just supposed to give it up?"

As opinions clashed, they didn’t realize that Jiang Cheng was already shivering behind them.

What to do, what to do? He had tried everything to avoid the "female devil," and now he was literally running straight into her.

If Jiang Li found out he had skipped classes to come here, he was sure to die a miserable death.

Terrifying memories from the past surged through his mind, and Jiang Cheng couldn’t help shivering again. He quickly started conjuring up a strategy in his mind.

—Right now, he could only disguise himself as much as possible to avoid being discovered by Jiang Li. After all, she probably wouldn’t expect him to show up here.

Su Yinwan recognized Nina as well.

Nina was Ye Chu’s close friend and often visited her at the company. From the moment this reality show started, and she saw Nina provocatively targeting Jiang Li, Su Yinwan knew this person was gunning for Jiang Li for Ye Chu’s sake.

Since someone else was giving Jiang Li a hard time, why should she put herself forward?

With this thought, Su Yinwan pretended to be anxious and clung to Shang Shaojing’s arm.

"Brother Shaojing, it seems there are quite a few people here, shall we observe a bit before heading out?"

Shang Shaojing pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Sounds good."

Then, he looked ahead, his gaze deepening.

Jiang Li was here too?

He was quite curious; what would this once haughty young lady’s life look like on this deserted island?

After all, her transformation was so significant that even he found it hard to believe.

...

Nina quickly spotted the cave only moments away.

However, before she could approach, a wooden stick blocked her path.

Following the direction of the stick, Nina saw a pair of piercing phoenix eyes. The owner of those eyes then spoke coldly.

"Who are you? What are you sneaking around here for?"

Before Nina could respond, a familiar voice came from the side—

"Nina?"

Turning her head, Nina saw that it was Yu Li speaking.

He was holding a tray of dried herbs, his eyes filled with shock as they lingered between her and Guan Xiong. "How come it’s you?"

Shang Shuyue furrowed her brows and pulled back the stick. "You know these two beggars?"

Yu Li nodded, "I know them. They were my teammates before."

Hearing Shang Shuyue refer to them as "beggars", Nina clenched her fists in displeasure.

Indeed, compared to the shiny appearance of these two, wasn’t she now just a beggar?

Hungry and poorly clothed, she was in such a miserable state!

However, for the sake of greater purposes, one shouldn’t sweat the small stuff. Once she achieved her goals, it was yet to be decided who would really end up as a beggar!

With this thought, Nina hid the coldness in her eyes and pitifully grabbed Yi Li’s arm.

"Yu Li, I’m so glad it’s you. Please, help us. Third Master and I haven’t eaten in days, and if it continues like this, we’ll definitely perish on this island..."

Being a practitioner of traditional medicine, Yu Li was always soft-hearted, readily helping whenever it was within his power.

That was as long as the other person was also good-hearted.

And did not attack him.

Yet, Nina, with her domineering personality, was now even smearing his freshly herb-scented clothes with her muddy hands.

This was akin to an attack!

Yu Li immediately darkened in expression and roughly pushed her away, pulling out alcohol and a handkerchief from his pocket to frantically wipe his clothes.

His already mild manner turned a few degrees colder.

"I can’t make decisions about our team’s resources. You should find someone else."

With that, he quickly left with his tray of herbs, eager to distance himself from the stench of the duo.

[Hahaha, I’ve never seen Dean Yu run so fast.]

[Got it. Next time I meet Old Yu, I’ll skip bathing for a week beforehand.]

[Dude, a senior tried that once. Guess what? He got thrown into the Medicine Bath Pool by Dean Yu immediately and didn’t get fished out until a day later. Be careful.]

[Ah, isn’t Yu Li too cold-hearted? Nina and the others are so pitiful, can’t he help at all?]

Seeing that Yu Li was unreliable, Nina had to turn her attention to Shang Shuyue standing nearby.

"Beautiful lady, you must be the captain of this team then, your word must have weight here. We just want something to eat, anything would do."

This really hit a nerve with Shang Shuyue.

She desperately suppressed her rising smirk and sternly asked, "What did you just call me? Captain?"
