The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

The little butterfly tipped them off.

[Host, you're being watched. They'll be here in five minutes.]

Su Ran: [Mm.]

In addition to Gao Zhiyuan and Jiang Shan, Ma Zhu, Lu Qiuyi, Lu Xiaoyan, and Lu Xiaoqing also came.

To most people, this was just a two-month-long program about experiencing life in a mountain village, not a wilderness survival reality show.

Therefore, food and such are not important to the viewers in the live broadcast room. They just want to see the guests in the live broadcast room suffer misfortune. They will only find it funny when these glamorous celebrities are getting more and more embarrassed.

The viewers in the live stream were having a great time, and some even shared embarrassing stories from their past picnics.

When we were kids, our class would have picnics, and we'd be divided into groups of eight. We'd each take on different tasks: washing and chopping vegetables, digging a stove, and cooking. The group next door that couldn't cook would run over to other groups and freeload off them.

[Haha, this is hilarious! When I was a kid, I was the kind of kid who couldn't cook and would always go to my classmates' houses to freeload.]

[As expected of Actor Gao, he gathered a whole bunch of people.]

[Haha, now even Ghost Voice can't eat alone.]

Before Jiang Shan could even knock, the door opened.

Su Ran looked at them with a cool gaze. She didn't wear a down jacket, revealing a gray sweater. Her hair was tied up lightly, and her slender neck was admirable. Along with the strong smell of cooking in the room, she exuded a charming fragrance.

Lan Yue had been wanting to ask Su Ran what perfume she used, but after spending the last few days with her, she had never seen her use it. She thought to herself that this must be the legendary natural body scent, and she was incredibly envious.

Jiang Shan swallowed hard as soon as she met his gaze.

Looking at his eyes, Lu Qiuyi understood everything.

So he secretly tugged at Jiang Shan's sleeve, which brought him back to his senses.

"Um... Ghost Sound, we'd like to come and visit you," Jiang Shan said with a smile, adjusting her expression.

"Visiting you? I don't have anything to offer you," Su Ran replied.

“We can already smell the aroma of fish. Besides, we’ve been here for several days and haven’t had a chance to get to know each other properly. It’s really disheartening for you to say that,” Ma Zhu interjected.

"Sorry, we've finished the fish." Su Ran turned her shoulder to the side, letting them see a pile of fish bones on the floor inside the room.

[Ghost Sound is so stingy! It's just a few fish, why hide them? So petty.]

[I can't stand it anymore, it's too much! All they want is something to eat.]

The show was originally called "Self-Sufficiency," and Guiyin has always been a serious person; she was simply fulfilling her own goals.

Why did she give it to Lan Yue?

[Blue Moon got to work, did your Gao Yingdi get to work?]

[Exactly! My Yueyue helped Guiyin boil water and gather firewood first thing in the morning, shouldn't she get a share too?]

The live stream chat room started arguing again.

Lu Xiaoyan observed everything discreetly, her eyes fixed on the blazing flames, the kudzu root powder packaged in plastic bags on the wooden board beside the earthen stove, and the mushrooms piled in the corner.

She pointed excitedly there, "Look, isn't there still food over there?"

"Ghost Sound, you're really good at bluffing." Gao Zhiyuan smiled unusually warmly when he saw the food.

"Girl"... What a disgusting term.

Su Ran suppressed her discomfort.

She hates it when people she's not close to call her "little girl".

Gao Zhiyuan was completely oblivious to Su Ran's disgust and even patted her shoulder.

Lan Yue witnessed this and immediately came over to pull Su Ran away.

"Don't try anything with young girls. Do you think I don't know what kind of person you are?"

Gao Zhiyuan looked bewildered. "What was I thinking?"

Lan Yue clearly no longer wanted to talk to him, and Gao Zhiyuan stood awkwardly to the side.

Ma Zhu had already gone over and started to work on the mushrooms.

Xiao Bao looked dejected. "I picked these with Sister Guiyin this morning, and I almost slipped and fell."

Ma Zhu patted Xiao Bao's head, "Brother will leave half for you."

The person in the live stream was all smiles.

[Hahaha, Ma Zhu, you're robbing me!]

[They snatched a child! This will probably trend on social media tomorrow: Ma Zhu robbed a little girl, hahaha, just thinking about it is hilarious.]

[Little girl: I never expected that this seemingly handsome guy would be such a jerk in private.]

[Ghostly voice: So you're trying to fleece me, aren't you?]

Wang Biqing had been watching Su Ran for several days, but seeing that Su Ran didn't seem inclined to stop her, she didn't dare to step forward.

Everyone saw that Ma Zhu had filled the bag with more than half a bunch of mushrooms, and Su Ran looked like she was sitting still, letting them take whatever they wanted.

They all thought that Guiyin probably cared a lot about her image in the live stream and didn't want to end up being at odds with the other guests.

Human beings have no limits to their demands.

They took the mushrooms and then set their sights on the kudzu root powder placed on the wooden board.

It was Lu Xiaoyan who opened it.

"Wow, Ghost Voice, you have such good stuff and you didn't say anything. I'll get some, and I'll treat you to a big meal in private another day."

They spoke jokingly, but without hesitation, they scooped up a large pile of kudzu root powder.

The scene shown in the live stream was a group of people joking around and being silly, just like when they usually prank their close classmates or friends.

[Like my best friend, I couldn't use some cosmetics during my pregnancy, so I gave her a little bit, saying I only wanted a small amount, but she ended up taking most of my cosmetics.]

The last time I ordered barbecue takeout, I was still out when my roommate devoured most of it by the time I got back. If he weren't my good buddy, I would have slapped him.

However, dissenting voices have also emerged.

But... Guiyin walked for half an hour in the snow to dig up these kudzu roots, and it took her a long time to make them into powder. I feel so bad for her.

[This morning, Guiyin almost slipped and fell while picking mushrooms. I was terrified watching her walk on the mountain path. It's so inhumane that she picked so many bamboo shoots at once.]

[Upstairs, our Ma Zhu didn't know Gui Yin almost fell. He just wanted to eat; it's not like he'd kill your Gui Yin.]

[I'm so angry! I'm so angry! I'm so angry!! If you want to eat, go do the work yourselves! What kind of person bullies my Guiyin?!]

Lu Qiuyi touched the kang (a heated brick bed) and found it to be very warm.

"Ghost Sound, you actually know how to heat a kang (a traditional heated bed), that's amazing. Unlike me, the kang in my house is freezing cold, I almost caught a cold." He finished speaking and coughed a few times while covering his mouth.

Upon hearing that their goddess was going to catch a cold, Ma Zhu and Jiang Shan became anxious.

They asked the ghostly voice, "How did you make this kang (heated brick bed)? Teach us."

Lu Xiaoyan pointed to the neatly stacked dried cow dung outside.

"The cow dung was burned in the kang (heated brick bed), it was so warm."

Lu Xiaoyan couldn't stand the cold in the mountains either, and disregarding the smell of cow dung, she started collecting and drying cow dung like Su Ran these past few days. However, recently, the diligent Lan Yue had almost collected all the cow dung.

Seeing that Lu Qiuyi had the idea of ​​warming the kang (a heated brick bed), Lu Xiaoyan gloated and pointed out the direction.

Upon seeing that it was cow dung, Lu Qiuyi and the other two felt nauseous, but the winter was so cold that the warmth on the kang (heated brick bed) overcame their disgust for the cow dung.

"Ghost Sound, let's get some more cow dung." Ma Zhu wasn't asking a question, but making a statement.

“No, these all belong to Blue Moon,” Su Ran said.

So Ma Zhu looked at Lan Yue.

Lan Yue said, "The four of us here aren't enough. If you want more, go and pick some yourself."

Lan Yue is Ma Zhu's senior in the film and television industry, and since she said that, Ma Zhu couldn't say anything.

Hearing that she had become another person to steal cow dung, Lu Xiaoyan couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

If I had known, I wouldn't have said anything.

The group swarmed around like locusts, grabbing a little here and a little there. Fortunately, they had already obtained the mushrooms and kudzu root powder, so they said goodbye and left satisfied.

After the door was closed.

Lan Yue asked Su Ran disapprovingly, "Why should we just stand by and let them take the things?"

Su Ran gave her a look that could only be understood but not explained.

The next day, Blue Moon found out the answer.

Yesterday, after they took the things, they went to Lu Xiaoyan's house to cook, because she has a heated kang (a traditional Chinese bed-stove).

At first, they were having a great time, singing, dancing, and chatting.

But not long after, they began to feel dizzy, vomit, have diarrhea, and even experience hallucinations.

The only one who remained somewhat conscious was Jiang Shan. He struggled to run to the village chief and called for a barefoot doctor, which saved everyone's lives.

They later learned that due to their inadequate handling of ingredients and cooking techniques, the delicious mushrooms were not cleaned properly and were not fully cooked, resulting in poisoning after they ate them.

They vomited all day long, throwing up everything they had eaten. They were even hungrier than before, and lay motionless in the house, groaning in pain.

When Lan Yue found out, she burst into laughter.

"I told you guys to fleece yourselves, and you've almost emptied yourselves out of business."

Su Ran, however, asked Lan Yue with great interest:

"Do you think Director Han really plans to only shoot for two months?"

A bad feeling crept into Lan Yue's heart.

Given Director Han's character, he really could do it.

If it weren't for Director Han's talent and strong connections, he would have been sent to jail long ago.
