Chapter 111 The Survival Competition Begins
The nine celebrities and survival experts are Li Qin, Dilraba, Wu Jing, Lin Cong, and Zhang Zhiqiang in the first group.
The second group consists of Yang Mi, Jia Ling, Wang Baoqiang, Luo Yong'an, and Chen Jie.
The third group consists of Gulnazar, Yang Zi, Chen He, Wu Tao, and Sun Hao.
Each of the three groups consists of three celebrities and two survival experts.
Each survival expert was selected through a rigorous screening process, since the celebrities certainly don't know how to survive in the wilderness.
Without the help of survival experts, the celebrities would be eliminated very quickly, and the show would not be able to be filmed.
Donghai TV has big ambitions, aiming to break the legendary 10% viewership rating.
The 10% mentioned here, based on the population of one billion in the Great Eastern Kingdom, with three people per family, amounts to more than 300 million households.
If everyone turns on their TV at the same time, the viewership will be 100% for 300 million households.
In addition, reaching 30 million viewers would be 10%.
The average viewership is only one percent, which is about three million households.
For a country with over thirty television stations, exceeding one percent is already quite impressive.
No more than 50 million households watch television at the same time each day, with dozens of television stations competing simultaneously.
One percent means that we have already achieved viewership of several million households.
If it exceeds 5%, that's equivalent to at least 15 million households, or tens of millions of people, watching your program.
If it exceeds 10%, that's 30 million households, close to 100 million viewers, and the GG fees will be plentiful.
Donghai TV is making a huge gamble this time in order to break through the 10% viewership rating and take the top spot at the start of the year.
Donghai TV spent a lot of manpower and resources on this, including selecting an isolated island and choosing celebrities.
Promoting the program to the public in advance and creating buzz are all preparations made for this day.
On March 1st, a passenger ship appeared near the South China Sea, in the country of DYD.
Dozens of people stood on the deck of the passenger ship, listening to one of the leaders speak.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our production team has already thoroughly researched the island beforehand. DYD covers an area of fifty square kilometers. Apart from some small animals, there won't be tigers, lions, or elephants on it. At most, there will be some wolves, leopards, and wild boars."
"I'll go!"
"Mom, I want to go home."
"Alright, everyone, you've already signed your performance contracts. If you withdraw now, you'll need to compensate the production team ten times your fee. You're all welcome to withdraw now."
"Actually, it's not impossible."
"Yeah, yeah, what's there to be afraid of? If they dare to come, I'll kill them."
"Yeah, we have two survival experts helping us. You must have killed wolves before, right? Why are you sweating so much?"
"Looking at the commotion below, the program director wasn't in a hurry. Everyone would be spending the night on the passenger ship, and they wouldn't officially arrive on the island until tomorrow morning. There would be plenty of time to talk."
Naza nudged the man next to her who was deep in thought, "Wu Tao, have you ever killed a wolf?"
"Yeah, I've killed people in my dreams."
"Oh no, Wu Tao, you're not allowed to joke around, I'll cry for you."
Yang Zi was eavesdropping nearby, and when she heard Wu Tao say that, she immediately became frightened.
Naza covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Okay, Yang Zi, stop messing around. Wu Tao is just teasing you. You've forgotten his background; he's a veteran."
"Okay, I forgot. Wu Tao, you're so mean, you deliberately bullied me."
"I didn't, I'm not."
"Hehehe, Yang Zi, you're still too young. Look at me, I'm not worried at all."
Chen He chuckled smugly to himself, only to be pinched casually by Yang Zi and immediately whimper in pain, begging for mercy.
Seeing how excited the young people around him were, Wu Tao didn't know whether he should discourage them.
Surviving on a deserted island is not so easy. The three celebrities are definitely the kind who don't know anything. Even though this is Earth, they are no different from the people on Earth.
Sun Hao is another survival expert in the third group, but he just has more knowledge and has lived alone in the mountains behind his house for a period of time.
Wu Tao is definitely the strongest of the three groups. Although he does have the combat power of a king of soldiers and his survival ability is not weak, he may not be able to last until the end with three, well, four ordinary people.
As Wu Tao listened to the director's description, he carelessly reminisced about the past.
Wu Tao never expected that after making all the preparations, he would find that all the supplies he had prepared in his space had disappeared when he transmigrated to this world.
No, the thousand large yellow croakers that were prepared did not disappear.
Even though he had a thousand large yellow croakers weighing 312.6 grams each in his spatial storage, no one on Earth recognized these things.
I don't know why, but the gold was preserved, while everything else disappeared completely.
Blue Star does not use this currency, and gold is merely a relatively precious metal here.
Wu Tao had asked around and found out that one kilogram of gold in the Blue Star Alliance was worth only 2,000 Blue Star coins. One thousand large yellow croakers would only weigh 312.6 kilograms, at most worth a few hundred thousand Blue Star coins.
Wu Tao almost vomited blood, but after merging with the original owner's memories, he actually vomited blood this time.
The story is melodramatic, just like those third-rate TV dramas on Earth.
The original owner was twenty-three years old this year, born in a remote and impoverished small county in the western province of the Great Eastern Kingdom.
My parents run a small supermarket in the county town, and our family lives in an ordinary three-bedroom apartment.
The original owner went to the army at the age of eighteen after graduating from high school and had a childhood sweetheart girlfriend.
The other person graduated from high school and was admitted to university. The two of them made a promise to work hard together, and when the other person graduated from university, the original owner would return from military service to find her.
Together, we strive for our future in big cities. Military service in the Blue Star Great Eastern Kingdom is a five-year system.
The original owner and his girlfriend Liu Huilan communicated through letters, and he would visit her in the city where she was studying during his family visit leave.
The two got together in their second year of high school, and their correspondence gradually decreased until the girlfriend became a junior in college.
Later, it all disappeared completely. It wasn't until the original owner was about to be discharged from the military that Liu Huilan sent a breakup letter.
The other party frankly admitted that they had met their true love and hoped that the original owner could have a bright future.
After the original owner was discharged from the army, he went to Liu Huilan's city.
At the entrance of the apartment complex where the other party was renting, I saw her passionately kissing a man driving a luxury car worth tens of thousands of yuan.
The original owner, heartbroken and disillusioned, drank himself to death, and then Wu Tao transmigrated directly into his body.
Are you satisfied with this time-travel method, dear readers?
Although Wu Tao immediately discovered that hundreds of millions of US dollars worth of supplies had disappeared from his spatial storage, he wasn't really scared, given his six skills.
Skill 1: Cooking. Being a chef is a good choice in this world.
Skill 2, fitter, is also an option; if not, find a factory job.
Skill 3, Eight-Section Brocade, is a great way for Wu Tao to prolong his life. Even in his nineties, he can still roam freely among women. This is the true path to success.
Skill 4: Special Forces King combat power, survival ability, at least you don't have to be afraid of being bullied.
Skill 5, Language: Consider working abroad.
Skill 6: Basic self-rescue skills using both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, ensuring you won't be stabbed to death.
