Chapter 39
Song Jixing glanced lightly at her junior brother, seeing that he had already stood at the door of the room. Her clear voice spoke up, "Go in and rest well!"
Inside Sang Xueqing's room.
Sang Xueqing was leaning against the door of the room listening carefully.
Through the wooden door, the sounds of the two people talking were very soft, and she couldn't hear very clearly.
What did they say? Who likes who?
Don't tell me they confessed outside!
No way!
It was rare for her to really like and admire someone, would it collapse so soon?
Thinking of this, Sang Xueqing returned to the room with unwillingness in her heart, lying on the bed and rolling around.
As she rolled around, she suddenly realized.
Did she forget to cover the camera in the room?
The program team's people would have seen everything!!!
Sang Xueqing hugged the pillow and screamed silently! She hurriedly got up and covered the camera, then picked up her phone and called her agent, asking them to cut this part out and not broadcast it!
The next day, the survival show revealed its true face.
The program team required everyone to build a place on the island where they could live, and also spend a night in it.
Building a house was not an easy task!
Fortunately, the program team gave them plenty of time and allowed them to collaborate.
With this, it seemed that all the tools given earlier could be put to use.
They were given 3 days to build the house. Within those 3 days, they could freely explore the entire island and look for materials they needed.
Everything seemed very easy.
But Sang Xueqing first discovered an extremely serious problem. "Can we cut down trees on this island as we wish? This chainsaw needs electricity, how can we use it outdoors without power?" Sang Xueqing asked, holding her chainsaw.
Originally everyone had high hopes for Sang Xueqing’s chainsaw, but after finding out it couldn’t be used, they immediately started quarreling with the staff on site.
"What tools do we even have to build a house with?" Hu Hui asked helplessly.
"Don't tell me you want us to build a sand house by the seaside?" Qiu Ye mocked.
The program team’s staff immediately shouted, "There are chopping knives! Ropes! I believe you can do it!"
From the pile of papers given to him, Han Yusheng found a book related to house construction. Holding the book, he walked to everyone and said, "Now I know what my stuff is for. I'm the brains! The walking encyclopedia!"
The group discussed around the book for half a day, and finally figured some things out.
The program team required that the house should fit all of them inside.
The house could be built a little wider, but very heavy materials were absolutely out of the question, after all there were only a few people without tools, and they had to finish preparing in 3 days.
Bamboo poles, thin branches and the like could work. The roof could use thicker leaves.
After everyone discussed countermeasures for half a day, Han Yusheng drew sketches on paper.
The final conclusion was to let the stronger ones first chop some straighter trees to use as beams for the house, while the rest could be solved with branches. The roof could be covered with leaves and the like.
Like this, a house could be built.
In case something happened, the lightly floating leaves wouldn't hurt anyone if they fell.
Everyone's ideas were undoubtedly good, but there were still heavy difficulties during the implementation process.
It was also at this time that Song Jixing discovered that even in a reality show, there was still some script involved.
Although they weren't obvious scripted lines, it was just off-site assistance and the like. After all, everyone's safety had to be considered.
The camera had been following and shooting the whole time, regularly avoiding the off-site assistance content.
Feng Juechen looked aloof, standing alone to one side, quietly watching all this.
He would only respond slightly when someone greeted him, then help out at the right time. These actions made Feng Juechen the most talked about guest in the mouths of the others.
With the existence of off-site assistance, the house was built in two and a half days.
Although it didn't look like a place suitable for long-term living, staying inside for two to three days was no problem at all.
After the house was built, the director came up with a round of mutual voting and scoring to select everyone’s favorite teammate.
Still 3 votes for each person, to give freely.
The score difference between everyone this time didn’t seem as miserable as last time. Those at the bottom were evenly matched, while the top rankings had been completely overturned. Although Feng Juechen had come later, relying on superb interpersonal skills he was ranked first.
Out of all the people present, except for himself and Song Jixing, almost everyone had voted for him.
Ranked second was Hu Hui.
Hu Hui had contributed a lot of effort in building the house, and was even injured, so he couldn’t let him be ranked low after getting injured.
As for third place, it was Song Jixing.
This was unexpected for Song Jixing.
Perhaps because there weren’t too many votes on site, scattered a bit, even if she could only get one or two votes, plus Feng Juechen and Sang Xueqing’s votes, she still maintained her ranking.
Qiu Ye couldn’t help but sigh when seeing this, “As expected from someone of the same sect, such great feelings for each other!”
That afternoon, the tour guide enthusiastically prepared a bonfire performance for the seven people, to celebrate the successful completion of the house.
Also, because the house wasn’t very big and could only accommodate one person overnight, the program team decided to draw lots for one person to spend the night.
Undoubtedly, staying overnight in the hastily built straw house would be arduous and dangerous. Even when the program team repeatedly stressed that everything was ready and one could stay in the house safely, everyone was still somewhat unwilling.
No matter how safe this house was, and how complete everything was, it still fell far short of modern buildings.
When Sang Xueqing looked at the house she had painstakingly built, she completely lacked the joy from before. She immediately started explaining why she could not live in here.
Sang Xueqing was completely against it: “I’m afraid of snakes, bugs and the like! The lamp at night will attract insects. The walls of this house have gaps everywhere, insects can directly crawl in.”
Qiu Ye: “I have rheumatism. This house is so breezy with sea winds blowing through it. Staying here for a whole night would be unbearable.”
The other few males also cited their own problems.
"I'm afraid of darkness..."
"The floor of this house is hard. Sleeping on it, my bones would feel uncomfortable. You let me take an afternoon nap here, that’s still doable, but to sleep a whole night, probably not."
For staying overnight in the house, everyone didn't seem very interested.
The program team immediately played their trump card.
Whoever sleeps in the house for one night, gets twenty extra points directly!
Even with such generous points, everyone seemed indifferent.
Feng Juechen raised his hand, "I can sleep one night here, but can I give these points to someone else?"
Feng Juechen's initiative caught everyone by surprise.
Song Xiang immediately asked, "Who do you want to give the points to? Don't tell me it's for your senior sister?"
Feng Juechen nodded. The scene erupted.
