Xia Xin gave Sun Hu one last piece of advice. “Make sure to buy the largest travel bags available, and also a foldable plastic bucket.”

Listening to Xia Xin, Sun Hu immediately set out to prepare the remaining items. Roughly an hour later, he returned with all the essentials Xia Xin had requested.

After neatly packing everything into her travel bag, Xia Xin tried hoisting it onto her back. The bag was gigantic—almost towering over her—and it wasn’t exactly a breeze to carry. Jing MO also hoisted a bag onto his back. Before he had become an artist, he’d often been an avid traveler, adept at lugging around enormous bags like this one. He quickly grasped the knack for it and offered Xia Xin some pointers.

“Considering the issue of electricity, I brought along a solar panel for you guys, and the lamp is solar-powered as well,” Sun Hu said. “A bit of sun during the day and it should charge up just fine.”

Xia Xin and Jing MO separated their belongings into different compartments. There was only one tent, but it was spacious enough to accommodate four people. Still, Xia Xin figured the other cast members probably wouldn’t think that far ahead. Seeing the size of their tent, they’d likely want to crowd in with them.

The two grabbed a quick bite and, well before four o’clock, had Sun Hu drop them off at the show’s set. When they arrived, Xia Xin could hardly keep a straight face. Aside from Xu Zhi, who had a regular-sized travel bag, everyone else had brought along multiple large suitcases.

The director appeared exasperated. However, upon laying eyes on Xia Xin and Jing MO, he brightened. “Impressive! I have no idea what you’ve packed, but those bags look perfect for wilderness survival,” he said, giving them an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

Viewers quickly flooded the screen with comments.

[Why is the director so biased? We have artists with plenty of baggage too, why doesn’t he praise them?]

[That’s right. Lu Shi has also prepared a lot. Why didn’t the director praise him?]

[My goodness, only that two-faced brought a small bag. The others are carrying big baggage. Don’t beg our idol when you don’t have enough things.]

[I’m curious what Xu Zhi has in that tiny bag of his.]

Seizing the moment, the director threw in an impromptu segment. “Let’s have our artists open up their bags and show the audience what they’ve packed.” Exchanging a glance, Xia Xin and Jing MO unslung their bags.

“Our stuff is bulky and challenging to repack. Unzipping the bag should suffice for now,” Xia Xin explained as she opened her travel bag. Inside, viewers could see neatly packed food and medical supplies.

“Why’d you bring medical supplies? Wouldn’t more food be practical? I’ve got enough here to last me eleven days on that island.” Tian Mei. cocking her head. queried Xia Xin. Her words were fraught with hidden barbs, suggesting that Xia Xin was ill-prepared and ignorant.

“The director mentioned that final scores are based on the completion of subtasks, which include helping animals on the island,” Xia Xin responded. “As for food, I don’t believe that island is uninhabited by anything edible.”

Xia Xin rarely explained so much, but since this was a live broadcast and Tian Mei wanted to sabotage her. Xia Xin naturally wouldn’t fall for that easily.

Tian Mei’s sweet smile vanished, replaced by an expression of faux innocence. “I was just concerned about you, Xia Xin. I’ve no ill intentions.”

[Why is this Xia Xin so vicious?]

[She really doesn’t know how to appreciate a good person. Tian Mei is only concerned about her. How can she bully her?]

[So disgusting! Boycotting Xia Xin!]

The comments erupted in outrage against Xia Xin. Unperturbed, Sun Hu knew that they had prepared well for every contingency. In his mind, barring unexpected developments, this episode’s winners would undoubtedly be Jing

MO and Xia Xin..
