Chapter 878 - 878 He Will Surprise You
878 He Will Surprise You
“Then just be gentler.”
“I missed the part where that’s my problem.” Lin Yi said, “You’re the one who mentioned it first.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up. We still have business to attend to later.”
“That’s out of my control.”
“You really know how to take advantage of others.”
Yan Ci knew that the landing time was 4:30 a.m.
It was ten o’clock at night.
Judging from the time, it was still possible for them to do this.
With that, Lin Yi carried Yan Ci to the bedroom, and a fierce battle began.
…
At four o’clock in the morning, the ship’s radio suddenly sounded.
“All contestants participating in the recording, please go to the deck to collect the lifeboat and prepare to land on the island!”
Hearing the announcement, Yan Ci immediately pulled Lin Yi up from his bed.
“Get up and get ready to land on the island.”
“What kind of time did you guys set? Can’t you let me sleep in?” Lin Yi mumbled in a daze.
“This is the effect that variety shows wanted.”
Yan Ci didn’t care about putting on her clothes and hurriedly pulled Lin Yi up. “Get up. If you can’t get a lifeboat, I want to see how you’ll reach the island.”
“The Starfish is mine. I’ll just ask the captain to bring the ship over.”
“That won’t do. It’s against the rules,” Yan Ci said. “I’ve prepared the clothes for you. Put them on quickly.”
Yan Ci was helpless.
After all, she was the director of this show. Others could not wait to curry favor with her, but now she was actually begging him.
Her head hurt.
“Alright, alright. Don’t rush me. The distance is only one nautical mile. Worst case scenario, I’ll swim over.”
“Are you crazy? Aren’t you afraid that the sharks in the sea will eat you?”
“F*ck…” Lin Yi sobered up, “That’s a problem.”
“Get up and grab a lifeboat.”
At the same time, Yan Ci also put on her clothes. “I’ll leave first. Hold on tight.”
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Yan Ci walked out first.
If others saw that she was paired up with a contestant, they would be suspicious.
After Yan Ci left, Lin Yi put on his clothes.
“Yan Ci, that b*tch, is really awesome. She really made me feel a little powerless.”
After washing up, Lin Yi walked out of the room and went to the deck at the stern of the ship.
When he arrived there, he realized that he was a step too late.
More than 200 contestants had already snatched up all the lifeboats.
“Damn it, they’re fast.”
However, at that moment, Lin Yi realized that most of the lifeboats had been taken by Ouzhoun and Meiguon contestants.
Although the ratio of Terran contestants to Ouzhoun contestants was about the same, more than 70% of the lifeboats were in the hands of Ouzhoun and Meiguon contestants.
Those who didn’t get a lifeboat were as good as dead.
Stealing the boat was only the first segment of the day, but it also reflected some underlying problems.
The organizing ability of Ouzhoun and Meiguon contestants was greater than that of Terran, which consisted of Huaxians, South Ranians, and Sunrise Landese.
Fortunately, Li Jiani and Huang Yunhang got one first. They would have no problem landing on the island.
“I’m sorry, I woke up late.”
Lin Yi walked up to Li Jiani and said with a smile.
“It’s fine. Come and get ready.”
Li Jiani was dissatisfied.
She didn’t mind that Lin Yi was weak, but Lin Yi’s attitude really made her unhappy.
He had no interest at all.
“Mr. Lin, we can help you with this, but please be more serious after landing on the island. Otherwise, we won’t bother about you anymore,” Huang Yunhang said.
“It’s fine, I’m fine.” Lin Yi said indifferently, “Just do as you want, don’t worry about me.”
“Alright, let’s not talk about this for now. No matter what, we’re still a team.”
Seeing that they were about to reach the island, Li Jiani did not want to have a frivalous argument.
At least until this point, he hadn’t affected her negatively. Therefore, his behavior was still acceptable.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi was happy to be free since one of his team members had snatched a lifeboat.
It was quite interesting to see the others still fighting over the lifeboats.
As time passed, the battle for the boats came to an end.
Yan Ci and another blond male director stood together.
“Ms. Yan, the situation with the Huaxian contestants doesn’t seem very optimistic. Although the number of participants is the highest, you only managed to snatch eight boats. Moreover, the number of boats we have is more than double yours.”
The man who spoke was called White. He was a director from Wellington Television and was in charge of the show.
“This is just one of the segments. It doesn’t say anything about the final outcome,” Yan Ci said lightly.
In her opinion, as long as Lin Yi was around, they still had the highest chance of getting first place.
“But still, the probability of us getting first place is very high.” White smiled and said.
“Although it’s only one of the segments, it also means that our overall strength is greater than yours.”
Yan Ci also smiled. “It’s still too early to say this. Don’t be anxious. We Huaxians have always been reserved. Someone who will surprise you might just appear out of nowhere.”
“Could it be that Madam Yan has someone she likes?” White said indifferently.
“Can you point him out and let me see?”
Yan Ci didn’t hide anything. There was unconcealable pride between her brows as she pointed at Lin Yi and said.
“That man will surprise all of you.”
“Him?” White said, “He should be a Huaxian celebrity. I don’t think he can last until the end of the competition.”
“Let’s wait and see. I hope you won’t be surprised when the time comes.”
“I’ll keep an eye on him.”
At the same time, Lin Yi was watching the commotion from the side. Coincidentally, he also spotted the female celebrity Zhao Yinian.
She was wearing tight-fitting jeans and a jacket. Her scalp was tied up, and she was dressed appropriately. She looked prepared, but it was useless.
She stood rooted to the ground and stomped her feet anxiously. She wanted to go up and snatch a lifeboat, but she did not dare to.
She could only stand there dejectedly. She was so anxious that she was about to cry. It was obvious disappointed and aggrieved.
It was indeed a little pitiful for a girl like her to look like this.
“Hey!”
Lin Yi called out to Zhao Yinian in the distance.
Hearing the voice, many people looked over to Lin Yi. Zhao Yinian was no different. She immediately realized that Lin Yi was looking at her.
“Are you talking to me?”
Lin Yi nodded. “Come to us. I’ll bring you to the island.”
“Re-really?” Zhao Yinian was both surprised and delighted. “Are you really willing to bring me along?”
“Come on.”
“Okay!”
Zhao Yinian didn’t think too much about it. She walked around the crowd and appeared in front of Lin Yi.
“Thank you.” Zhao Yinian bowed. “I thought I was going straight home.”
“It’s a small matter,” Lin Yi said casually.
“What’s wrong with you? Is this your ship? You decided to bring people on board without asking permission. This will delay our rate of progress,” Huang Yunhang said.
