Chapter 178: The Bet, Parting
Bell said resolutely.
Everyone was shocked.
The stakes were not small. It had to be known that the popularity of Wilderness Survival was very high, and as the spokesperson of this program, Bell occupied most of the traffic.
It could be said that whoever became the spokesperson would reach success in a single step.
Hearing Bell say such a thing, Jack was delighted.
After waiting for such a long time, he finally had the chance.
“Is what you said true? As long as I can complete the challenge before you, you will take the initiative to give up your identity as the spokesperson for Wilderness Survival?”
“That’s right. With so many netizens watching, is there a need to lie to you?”
“Hehe, alright, let’s take a gamble. I want to see if you’re really as good as what the Internet says.”
“Who wants to follow me?”
With that, Jack prepared to rope in people from the team.
After all, it was convenient to do many things with more people. It could save a lot of time.
But before he could finish, Bell interrupted him.
“Wait.”
Hearing Bell’s words, Jack jumped and turned to look at Bell warily.
“Why? Are you regretting it now?”
Bell sneered.
“Since it’s a gamble, I can’t be the only one betting.
You have to bet something too.
There is no free lunch in this world. ”
Jack’s expression changed.
“What do you want?”
“Hehe, there’s really nothing that I would covet from a guy like you. Why don’t we do this? If you lose, you can publicly admit that you had ulterior motives in the program and slandered me. Moreover, you can help me prove the authenticity of this program’s recording.”
Jack looked at Bell with a gloomy expression.
If he really admitted to this matter after losing, his reputation would be completely ruined.
But after thinking for a while, Jack finally nodded.
“Alright, I agree.”
Jack had no choice. This was a rare opportunity to compete with Bell. If he won, it would be a meteoric rise. Of course, if he lost, he would basically be out of this circle.
Seeing Jack promise, Bell nodded in satisfaction.
“For the sake of fairness, you can choose your team members as well as mine.
Otherwise, people might say that I’m faking it. ”
Jack’s heart sank.
“Damn it, why is this fellow so thoughtful?”
Jack had thought that even if he lost, he would refuse to admit it and say that there was something fishy about this.
But if Bell let him choose, he would not be able to say that,
Because whether it was the bet or the team members, he had the freedom to choose.
Looking at Bell’s evil smile, Jack knew that he had to carry out this bet even if he did not want to.
“Hmph!”
Snorting, Jack began to choose his team members.
He chose a few contestants who were on good terms with him.
Then, he pushed the other contestants to Bell.
Of course, there were only two people in Bell’s team.
Ped was very close to Bell these days. Jack did not want to keep this time bomb with him, so he threw it to Bell decisively.
The other was a relatively thin man who looked a little subservient. Clearly, he was a burden in this environment.
The remaining seven members were all selected by Jack!
The audience in the live-stream booed when they saw this.
“F*ck, this is too shameless. He asked you to choose, but you only left two for him. Why don’t you just take all of them away?”
“This fellow can actually participate in Wilderness Survival. Doesn’t the production team have any requirements on the contestant’s character?”
“Ban him! He has to be banned!”
“There’s no way to compete. With so many people, he can do things much faster. This is simply cheating.”
The live-stream was in an uproar, but Jack ignored these things. When he really won against Bell, these voices would slowly fade away.
Bell rolled his eyes.
“Are you sure you want to choose these people?”
“That’s right. After all, Mr. Bell, you’re a mentor. You should give us some handicap, right?”
Jack took it for granted.
Seeing Jack’s shameless appearance, Ped wanted to punch him, but was pulled back by Bell.
Bell smiled at Jack.
“There’s no problem with you taking these people. Then let’s see who succeeds first. The production team’s live broadcast equipment are always on. They will serve as witnesses.”
“We can split up now.”
“Dear viewers, this is an emergency situation. Please be witnesses to this competition.”
Bell did not say anything. Instead, he accepted this unfair condition and turned to look at the live-stream.
At this moment, the live-stream was filled with scolding towards Jack.
“Don’t worry, Bell. We will definitely testify for you. Teach this arrogant fellow a lesson and let him know what the king of the wilderness is.”
“That’s right. Bell has us as witnesses. If he dares to go back on his word, we’ll get him out of the Internet.”
“Bell’s fan club reporting.”
Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Bell smiled.
With that, Bell turned and walked in another direction without even looking back.
The decisiveness of his actions made Jack feel a little uneasy.
Could this guy still have some trump card?
Seeing Bell leave, Ped glared at Jack before chasing after Bell.
As for the thin man who was kicked out by Jack, he hesitated for a moment and finally followed Bell.
Ped caught up with Bell. They were already some distance away from Jack and the others. He asked Bell, puzzled. “Mentor Bell, why did you agree to make a bet with such a bastard and give him so many members?”
Ped was indignant.
He had thought that Bell was a smart guy, but it seemed like he had placed a wrong bet.
There were so many people with Jack, so they would definitely be much faster than his side.
It seemed like Bell would definitely lose.
Ped was really upset.
However, he had already stood on Bell’s side. It was too late to regret now.
Bell turned and smiled.
“You’re quite smart. Trust me when I say this, your fame will soar after this show.”
