After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder
Chapter 32: The End of the Izumo Valley Exploration
"Okay, everyone, let's move on now! Everyone must pay attention to safety. I will lead the team from now on, and Bai Ren will be responsible for covering the rear." Tan Changqing made arrangements in an orderly manner, with determination in his voice.
"Okay, no problem." Everyone responded in unison, their voices full of confidence and expectation.
So, the group set out on their journey again, continuing to search for the mysterious treasure chest.
Next, the five of them arrived at a vast bamboo forest. It seemed endless, filled with lush, tall, and beautiful bamboos. The fact that such a vast bamboo forest existed in this deep valley was truly astonishing.
Following the map, they only needed to pass through the bamboo forest to reach the treasure chest's hiding place. However, the vast bamboo forest was shrouded in lingering mountain fog, severely restricting their vision. In such an environment, it would likely take quite a while to make it out.
At that moment, Qu Qingdai calmly pulled a long rope from her bag. She distributed the ropes to everyone and said, "To ensure everyone doesn't get separated or lost, let's tie one end of the rope to the bamboo over here. Then, everyone will pull the rope together and slowly walk deeper into the bamboo forest."
"Sure, that's a great idea!" Bai Ren said, nodding his head in agreement. Appreciation showed on his face, and he clearly approved of Qu Qingdai's idea.
"I totally agree. This is both safe and effective. If we take the wrong path inside, we can use this rope to return the same way." Chao Yan quickly agreed, her eyes flashing with approval.
"I think this method is feasible." Tan Changqing also expressed his opinion. He nodded slightly to show his approval of the proposal.
"I have no problem. I'll just follow everyone's arrangements." Lin Zhirou said softly, her voice gentle and submissive.
"Okay, let's do this," Qu Qingdai said, her tone firm. Actually, she had a reason for bringing the rope with her. In her previous life, when she returned alone, she could only helplessly watch the live broadcast on her phone. She saw that Jiang Baizhi had successfully walked out of the bamboo forest using this method, and now, she was just applying what she had learned. Since Jiang Baizhi had made her things her own in her previous life, she could also make Jiang Baizhi's things her own in this life.
Then, holding onto the rope tightly, they advanced, step by step, deeper into the bamboo forest. The rope moved slowly in their hands, like a lifeline guiding them forward. The dense fog that permeated the bamboo forest made visibility extremely low, and they could only rely on each other's voices and the ropes in their hands to determine their direction. Each step was filled with caution and care. As time passed, they gradually adapted to this method of groping their way through the fog. Finally, after a difficult trek, they gradually emerged from the misty bamboo forest. Suddenly, the view opened up, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their faces filled with happy smiles.
The livestream audience erupted in excitement when they saw Qu Qingdai and her team successfully emerge from the misty bamboo forest. Comments on the screen surged like a tide, filled with excitement and joy.
"It's finally out!" Chao Yan shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice filled with joy of relief.
"It's out, hurray!" Bai Ren was not to be outdone. He waved his arms excitedly, his face filled with excitement.
"Huff... I'm so tired. It feels like I've been walking for a long time." Lin Zhirou said weakly while panting, her forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.
"Indeed, thanks to Qingdai's rope." Tan Changqing said with emotion, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Qu Qingdai.
"Hahaha, it's good enough as long as I can help everyone. Let's take a rest first. The treasure chest is right in front of us." Qu Qingdai said with a hearty smile, a confident smile on her face.
After a short rest, the brief rest time seemed to disappear in a flash, and the five of them quickly embarked on their treasure hunt again.
"According to the instructions on the map in my hand, after we get out of this bamboo forest, we will find the treasure. The treasure chest should be not far away from here." Tan Changqing took the map, looked at it carefully, and then said.
"It's very likely hidden. Let's split up and look for it carefully." Chao Yan suggested, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
"Okay, let's split up and look for it," everyone agreed in unison, and then they dispersed and began to carefully search the surroundings for traces of the treasure chest. Their eyes were as sharp as hawks, not missing any corner that might contain a treasure chest.
"Look, here it is!" Tan Changqing suddenly shouted excitedly. After searching through the pile of straw, he finally found the treasure chest. He was so excited that he held the treasure chest tightly in his hands, raised it high, and said loudly.
"Wow, I really found it. This is really not easy!" Chao Yan also became excited, his face full of surprise.
"It's time for the director to show up!" Bai Ren said jokingly with a teasing smile on his face.
"Hahaha, boy, you're really clever! You even figured this out!" As everyone laughed and cheered, the director's familiar figure appeared in the camera, grinning. He looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Congratulations to all the guests for successfully completing the journey through Chuyun Valley. Congratulations to our actor Tan for finding the treasure chest! Now, let's have the staff hand the key to actor Tan so he can open the treasure chest. Let's see if the path everyone has chosen is the right one, and if this treasure chest is real!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff quickly handed the key to Tan Changqing. Under everyone's expectant gaze, Tan Changqing slowly took the key and inserted it into the keyhole with a slightly nervous movement. Then, he gently turned the key, and with a soft click, the lid of the treasure chest slowly opened. A card, gleaming brightly, with a line of eye-catching words clearly written on it: "One year of free admission to the resort." It lay quietly in the treasure chest.
"It's true! We really made the right choice!" Lin Zhirou couldn't contain her inner joy and said loudly with joy.
"Wow, it's the second consumption card, that's awesome!" Chao Yan also seemed very excited, her face was filled with excitement and her voice was full of surprise.
"That's great." Qu Qingdai looked at the consumption card in Tan Changqing's hand, her eyes revealing emotion, and she said softly.
"Great! Congratulations to our actor Tan for successfully obtaining the real treasure chest. This consumption card is yours!" The director said with a smile. "Now everyone, hurry up and pack up and prepare to go down the mountain. The production team has prepared a rich and delicious dinner for everyone. Thank you for your hard work. Let's go back together."
"Great, I can finally eat. I'm almost starving!" Bai Ren said as he stretched his arms with an impatient look on his face.
"Hahaha, that's true. I'm really exhausted after this day." Tan Changqing also echoed. There was some fatigue on his face, but more of it was anticipation for dinner.
"I don't know how Xiaozhi is doing now?" Lin Zhirou said worriedly, her eyes full of concern.
"Don't worry, she is resting well in her room now." The director replied to Lin Zhirou with a smile, reassuring her.
"That's fine, let's go eat!" Chao Yan said cheerfully, and then the group began to walk down the mountain under the cover of night. Their figures gradually faded away in the night, leaving only the sound of footsteps and faint conversations.
As they gradually receded, the livestream, as if paused, gradually quieted down and finally ended. The end of the livestream seemed to mark a perfect end to this wonderful day. Their receding figures became the final image of the day, leaving a lasting impression.

At this moment, in an office that was decorated simply yet gorgeously, the tablet computer next to Su Jingmo gradually dimmed as the live broadcast ended, and the office returned to a quiet state.
Su Jingmo sank deeply into his chair, legs crossed. His fingers tapped the surface of his desk, seemingly carelessly, as his mind replayed the scenes he had seen during the live broadcast and the phone call from Qu Qingdai last night.
Those images and words continued to intertwine in his mind, and the questions that had been plaguing him for so long seemed to have some explanation at this moment. Although it all sounded a little bizarre, as long as Qu Qingdai remained the love of his heart, nothing seemed unacceptable to him. He secretly thought that his Daidai would probably tell him the same thing.
Then, his thoughts drifted to the vague exchange between Jiang Baizhi and Ling Quan during the live broadcast. He slowly picked up his phone and quickly dialed a number.
"Hey, I need you to do something. Find me all the negative information about that little star named Ling Quan. I want it reported in all major media outlets tomorrow morning. And he absolutely cannot appear on tomorrow's live show."
"Okay, Mr. Su."
"Well, hard work."
"This is what I should do."
Then, the call was hung up, leaving only a brief busy tone. At that moment, no one could predict what kind of storm and waves would be set off that night, what kind of bloody storm would be brought.

On the other side, Jiang Baizhi was closely following the live broadcast. When she saw that they had successfully found the treasure chest and received the consumption card, she was filled with jealousy.
She secretly thought, if Ling Quan hadn't been so incompetent, failing to embarrass Qu Qingdai and instead implicating her, she would have definitely been the one to get the treasure chest. After all, she possessed the original memories, and would have surely found the treasure chest instantly, unlike Tan Changqing and the others, who had to search for so long and waste so much time. If it were her, she would have found it instantly and accurately, and even created a huge entertainment effect. Unfortunately, now she could only watch them cheering, unable to do anything.
Just then, a rapid knock on the door sounded, "Knock, knock, knock..." The knock interrupted Jiang Baizhi's thoughts. It was obvious that the person coming was Ling Quan. After all, they were the only two people here. Jiang Baizhi walked over to open the door reluctantly.
As soon as the door opened, Ling Quan said anxiously: "Baizhi, I'm sorry, I messed up today. I really don't understand why the eighth stone slab is so stable, but the ninth one is..."
Jiang Baizhi interrupted him impatiently: "Okay, stop talking. Next time, don't do this on your own initiative."
Ling Quan said guiltily: "I'm really sorry. Tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely help you find the real treasure chest."
Jiang Baizhi responded coldly: "No need, I will find it myself. I need to rest, you can go back."
After saying that, without waiting for Ling Quan to respond, the door was closed with a "bang". Ling Quan stood outside the door, wanting to say something, but in the end, he only heard the sound of the door closing, not knowing what he would face.
After finishing their meal, Qu Qingdai and the others slowly returned to their accommodation. They all came to Jiang Baizhi's door and knocked gently.
After a while, Jiang Baizhi heard a knock on the door, opened it, and said, "You're back!"
Lin Zhirou said excitedly, "Yes, Xiaozhi, are you okay? We found the real treasure chest, and the route we chose is correct!"
Jiang Baizhi looked very calm on the surface and said, "I'm fine. It's great that you found it. I was watching the live broadcast and saw that you succeeded. It's really great." However, her heart was full of resentment. She thought to herself that this treasure chest should have belonged to her. It was all Ling Quan's fault. He was more of a hindrance than a help.
Tan Changqing asked with concern: "I'm glad you're okay. We brought you some food. Do you need something to eat?"
Jiang Baizhi waved her hand and said, "No, I've eaten, thank you. I just want to rest early now. You guys should go back and rest too." At this moment, she just wanted to end this topic as soon as possible.
Chao Yan said: "Well, I won't bother you anymore. See you tomorrow."
Jiang Baizhi responded, "Okay, see you tomorrow." After that, she closed the door.
"She seems to be in a bad mood." Qu Qingdai said with a slight smile on her lips and a barely perceptible smile in her eyes.
"Yes, it must be because she quit halfway. She must be very sad and a little lost." Lin Zhirou said with a gloomy expression, her face full of regret.
"Okay, don't think too much. Everything will be fine tomorrow. Everyone go back and rest. I'll go see how Ling Quan is doing." Tan Changqing said, then turned around and prepared to leave.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Actor Tan. See you tomorrow." Chaoyan said with a smile on her face.
"Ah... I can finally take a rest. I don't know what tasks I will have tomorrow. It's really exciting!" Bai Ren said as he stretched.
"Yes, yes, I hope tomorrow's task will be easier!" Chaoyan also echoed.
The group walked back slowly while talking, their voices gradually fading away until their figures disappeared at the end of the corridor, leaving only silence.
