869 What Do You Mean by ‘Soul-Searching’?

“Jiani, stop listening to his bullsh*t.”

Huang Yunhang said,

“Right now, we are in compet.i.tion with everyone. The ability to seize a boat will also directly influence the first round of eliminations. It will be very intense. Who can guarantee that we will definitely get a lifeboat?”

“Actually, this isn’t a huge problem. With our skills, it shouldn’t be a problem for us to get a boat,” Li Jiani said.

“I just don’t know when this stage will begin.”

“Do you even need to think about it? It’ll only start when we reach the place.” Lin Yi said.

“The TV station just wants the viewership ratings. Don’t tell me they’re going to make everyone wait on the ship after all the lifeboats get s.n.a.t.c.hed? They won’t do this unless they completely lose their minds.”

With that, Lin Yi walked straight out and ignored the two of them.

If he had known that these people were so problematic, he wouldn’t have teamed up with them.

“Jiani, I think it’s a mistake for us to have teamed up with him!”

Huang Yunhang said after Lin Yi left.

“We’ve already roped him in. It’s not good to kick him out,” Li Jiani said.

“Moreover, I think this person is not bad. He’s smart enough to understand this program very well. At the very least, he won’t be a burden. Moreover, our own level is not bad. It shouldn’t be a problem for us to deal with any sudden issues.”

“But I saw a lot of skilled people earlier, including some who have made a living in dangerous situations abroad. If there are any conflicts, it’ll be difficult for us to deal with them.”

“That’s just a minority of the partic.i.p.ants. There aren’t many people here who are truly capable,” Li Jiani said.

“What we really have to be careful of are those Huaxians in their thirties or forties. I can’t see through them at all.”

“Maybe other families have also sent their family members here,” added Huang Yunhang.

“We don’t know if the rumors are true or not, but they wouldn’t miss any opportunities like this!”

“Isn’t it the same for us? Let’s take it one step at a time. I just hope we can gain something from this whole event.”

With that, Li Jiani stood up and left.

“Why are you following him? I don’t think we need to pay much attention to him.” Huang Yunhang said disdainfully.

“He’s clearly the one who took advantage of us. He’s making it seem like we have to follow him.”

“It’s already seven o’clock. I’m not following him, I’m just hungry.”

“Um… I’ll go with you.”

Although the Starfish belonged to Lin Yi, this was the first time Lin Yi had visited its restaurant.

It was bigger and more luxurious than he had imagined.

It had no problem accommodating hundreds of people as they dined here at the same time.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was noisy. By evening, almost everyone gathered here to eat.

Other than the contestants, there were also staff members. There were even many who took photos of the scene to keep as a memento.

The originally luxurious banquet hall now felt like a market.

Moreover, the five-star chef had been replaced with an ordinary chef by the production team, so the taste was naturally worse.

“Hey, handsome man from Huaxia, do you want to have a meal together?”

Lin Yi turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a blonde woman with blue eyes. She was wearing a red work pa.s.s around her neck. Clearly, she was a staff member for this event.

She still spoke very standard Huaxian, but she was a little rusty when it came to the more unique words.

Lin Yi wasn’t surprised. After all, this show took place in Huaxia.

The television stations in various countries would definitely send their staff who knew Huaxian to travel with their contestants. It was more convenient for them to communicate in this way.

“Of course I don’t mind. It’s my honor to have dinner with a beautiful lady like you.”

Because there were no more seats available, Lin Yi naturally wouldn’t reject someone’s invitation. After all, it saved him the trouble of finding a seat himself.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to sit down, he heard Chen Dongzhe say,

“Brother, we still have empty seats here. Why don’t you eat here?”

Lin Yi looked up and saw that there were two black men beside him.

He was tall and strong, wearing a camouflage uniform and black leather boots.

Although their sitting posture was very casual, they could observe every corner of the restaurant and effectively avoid danger from any direction. This position was very professional.

“Are you unhappy because I beat up your man before this?”

The foreign contestants did not know what was going on, but the Huaxian contestants were well aware of this matter.

Previously, there had been a conflict between the two sides during the registration. Now that they had met again, Chen Dongzhe would definitely think of a way to get back at the latter.

“Let me tell you, don’t think you’re so great just because you defeated me. Many of the people on this ship are masters,” Li Sheng said.

“What’s the use of being so pretentious? If you’re not convinced, we can have a rematch.”

With that, Lin Yi sat down opposite the blonde female reporter.

“Sir, I wish I could have a perfect dinner with you, but I don’t want you to have a run-in with them.”

“Why? Are you afraid that it’ll ruin your appet.i.te?”

“Those two men are representatives of our country. They’re very good.”

“Are you afraid that I’ll lose?”

“Of course.”

The blonde smiled mischievously. “But don’t worry, I’ll protect you.”

After saying that, she even waved her work pa.s.s to prove that she was not all talk.

“Thank you, then.”

Seeing the two of them chatting blatantly, the people sitting at the side laughed.

“Even Chen Dongzhe is being ignored. This guy has no intention of paying attention to him at all.”

“He is a different level, so he naturally doesn’t need to pay the other guy any attention.”

“d.a.m.n it, I really hope that brother will teach him a lesson. He actually went to team up with two foreigners. He doesn’t have any morals at all. If this was in ancient times, he would definitely be labeled a traitor.”

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. They have the right to choose their own teammates.”

Chen Dongzhe had been overseas before, and the two people sitting beside him were his former comrades.

This time, because of the high prize money, many people came to partic.i.p.ate in this show.

Naturally, he wouldn’t team up with other people.

However, Chen Dongzhe was very arrogant when he rejected the others. It was as if first place was already guaranteed.

This att.i.tude made many people very unhappy.

“Huaxian, fighting is prohibited on the ship. I hope you won’t deliberately provoke us as you might suffer after we reach the island.”

“What’s the point of talking so much? If you’re not convinced, just attack. If you don’t dare, then keep your mouth shut.” Lin Yi said.

“Don’t interrupt my meal with the beauty. I still have to do some ‘soul-searching’ tonight.”

The people eating around looked at Lin Yi in surprise.

This man was really arrogant. The show had yet to start, but he had already made enemies for himself.

The blonde reporter took off her high heels and rubbed them repeatedly on Lin Yi’s legs. She smiled and said,

“What do you mean by ‘soul-searching?”
