Chapter 72: Differential Treatment, Popular Bell
In the main hall of the station.
Bell and the other contestants were already there.
These contestants were all survivalists who had passed the previous three rounds.
although they did not pass as easily as Bell.
At this moment, everyone was looking at each other. They did not know why the production team had called them over.!!
It could not be said that they did not know about it. At least, everyone knew that it had to do with the next episode of Wilderness Survival.
“I wonder what new tricks the production team is going to pull this time. I hope it won’t be like last time.”
“I almost couldn’t walk out of the desert survival last time.”
Everyone felt lingering fear when they thought of their previous trip to the desert.
Lacking food and water was not a good life for humans.
In the past, most survivalists had relied on luck to find some edible food. There was no specific plan, or even if they had some, they could not be put into practice.
Although there were rescue teams, this was still a very dangerous thing.
But even so, these people present still had no intention of retreating.
Because Wilderness Survival was indeed a very popular program.
Even if they could not win the first prize, they could still make a killing by getting some fame.
Many of these survivalists who had passed the rounds had started to do product endorsement.
With money on the line, these survivalists were unwilling to give up on this fat piece of meat, even though it was very dangerous.
Because they had relied on luck to survive, most survivalists thought that the others were similar to them.
However, they knew that one of them was an exception, and that was Bell.
All the survivalists present had a trace of hostility when they looked at Bell.
“Is that the recently viral Bell?”
“Hmph, I thought he was something amazing. But no matter what, he is only a child.”
“I heard that Bell’s results are very outstanding. He was first in the previous Wilderness Survival rounds, and he has already taken up more than half of the program’s popularity.”
“Hmph, what’s so great about it? It’s most likely just a gimmick created by the production team.”
“Are you saying that his videos are fake? They’re completely different from us.”
Two contestants whispered.
“What else could it be? He’s only an eight-year-old child. Do you think he has such ability?”
“It’s not like we don’t know how difficult Wilderness Survival is. The production team is just deceiving the layman.”
“I dare to bet that his scenes are definitely staged. Who knows how many teams are following behind him during the recording.”
The others nodded in agreement.
That’s right, how could a child like him possibly do something so difficult like Wilderness Survival?
There was no lack of self-righteous people in this world.
There were always people who felt that if they could not do something, the others would also not be able to do it.
Bell did not know about their conversation.
Or rather, even if he knew, he would not care.
He knew very well whether his live broadcast was real or not. It was not something that others could deny with just a few words.
While everyone was whispering, the production team finally appeared.
The beautiful host walked out with Ed and Bear.
“Since everyone is here, let’s get to the point.”
“Firstly, I would like to congratulate everyone. To be able to pass the previous few rounds, everyone is very outstanding in the wilderness survival field.”
The beautiful host was polite. She had seen these people’s tragic looks when they left the wilderness.
Many people seemed to take her words at face value.
Among them were the two people who had criticized Bell from behind. At this moment, they were looking forward proudly, as if they were the survivalists with outstanding results that the host had mentioned.
However, most of the people were paying attention to the beautiful host’s words and were in no mood to pay attention to the two of them.
The beautiful host continued.
“However, you will face an even greater test.”
The beautiful host paused.
Immediately, the hearts of the survivalists who had passed by luck rose to their throats.
They did not want to be inexplicably eliminated.
After all, as long as they could stay in the show, it meant that they could obtain a large number of fans. This translated to potential money.
Everyone became nervous, not knowing what the production team was planning.
The next second, the host said with a smile.
“The production team thinks that after these experiences, solo survival is no longer a threat to everyone, so we have decided to have a team competition for the next round.”
“With limited resources, let’s see who can survive.”
Bell’s pupils constricted.
“Limited resources? In that case, the location shouldn’t be too big.”
“And it’s a team competition.”
He had not seen any other survival contestants in the past few times. Could it be that he would encounter other contestants in the show this time?
Bell reacted immediately.
The others were paying attention to something else.
“Team competition, doesn’t that mean we can team up with other survivalists?”
For a moment, everyone who had been avoiding Bell like tigers leaned in his direction.
Although everyone expressed their disdain for him, no one was willing to let go of this opportunity to suck up to him.
Although they did not know if Bell really had the ability, it was a good thing to be able to increase their popularity.
Unfortunately, the beautiful host seemed to see through everyone’s thoughts.
She shook her head and smiled.
“Everyone, you’re mistaken. Since it’s Wilderness Survival, we naturally can’t let everyone form a team in private like this.”
“I’ll introduce some new friends to everyone.”
Immediately after, figures walked out from the backstage. There were both men and women.
Before the contestants could ask, the beautiful host explained.
“Alright, these new friends are your next companions in Wilderness Survival.”
“There will be five people in each group for this Wilderness Survival round, and one contestant has to be in each group.”
“The team composition will be chosen by the participants themselves.”
“If the number of participants in a contestant’s team exceeds the allowed number, the contestants can choose the final team members.”
Everyone understood.
In fact, it was handing the priority over to the participating guests.
But the final decision was in the hands of the contestants.
