Sweetest Top Actress in My Home
chapter-232

This time, the crew and cast assembled at a farm on the outskirts of Luo City.

When Vera finally dropped Jiang Yuning off at the location, the other eight members had already arrived. This time, Xu Beishen arrived on time, unlike her behavior during the recording the previous two issues.

Since Jin Mingchen had already learned his lesson from the last issue, he did not dare to eat excessively even though the production team also prepared a buffet for them today. He could only look at the food but he was too afraid to eat too much.

Jin Mingchen sat right at the back as he tried to stop himself from drooling.

As soon as Jiang Yuning arrived at the location, one of the producers stood up immediately before he made an announcement. “The mission for this issue of <Desert Island Rescue> will be extremely difficult. Therefore, we have requested the help of a guest from another variety show to participate in our recording for this issue. This is so she would be able to help all of you complete your respective missions. Everyone, please welcome our guest for the week, Ling Fei!”

When everyone heard the name ‘Ling Fei’, all of them could not help but glance at one another with a puzzled expression on their faces.

The production team was too stealthy. They must have deliberately invited Ling Fei to participate in the recording for the third issue of <Desert Island Rescue> because they knew that there was some friction between Ling Fei’s fans and the Ginger Candies. The production team must have intentionally done this to create some hype amongst the netizens for the program.

Furthermore, Ling Fei’s popularity was overwhelming for the other variety program that she was participating in. She was often referred to as a genius and the lucky charm of the show. Therefore, did the production team arrange for this so that Jiang Yuning and Ling Fei could fight it out on the show?

Ling Fei was wearing a white and long flowy dress as she walked gracefully towards all of the participants. At this time, Jin Mingchen hurried over to Jiang Yuning’s side and held onto her sleeves as he said, “Sister Yuning, isn’t the production team too much this time?”

Jiang Yuning did not say anything but she just smiled indifferently.

“Hello everyone, I am Ling Fei. I have already watched the first three episodes of <Desert Island Rescue> that were aired over the past few weeks. I really like all of you, especially you, Yuning. Your performance on the show has been nothing short of amazing. I am really very happy and excited to be able to join all of you for the recording today.”

“Welcome,” Jiang Yuning replied as she applauded after Ling Fei’s self-introduction. When the others saw this, they also casually clapped their hands.

Was the director of the other variety show really so free?

“Okay, since all ten participants have already gathered here today, we will now board the bus and head to the third location, where we will start recording the third issue of <Desert Island Rescue>.”

“You guys are doing it this way again?” Jin Mingchen pouted immediately. “Can’t you just tell us what would be expected of us for the third issue? Why are you keeping us in suspense again?”

“I would also like to take this opportunity to ask the production team about the buffs that were promised to us when we won the mission during the first issue. When will we be getting the buffs?” Jiang Yuning questioned the production team immediately.

“You will know everything when you arrive at the recording location for the third issue.”

“I already know that this is a trap, yet I have no choice but to board the bus.” Jin Mingchen pursed his lips before he followed after Jiang Yuning. “Sister Yuning, don’t worry. I will not like that young sister because you always treat me so well.”

“Are you sure that I treat you very well?” Jiang Yuning asked as she chuckled.

After boarding the bus, Jiang Yuning and Xu Beishen sat together because after the first two issues of the show, both of them had already become good friends.

“Can you really endure this?” Xu Beishen asked Jiang Yuning as she gestured at Ling Fei.

Xu Beishen had already gotten used to checking out some entertainment news and gossips because of Jiang Yuning, and that was the reason why she knew about the issue involving Ling Fei and Jiang Yuning.

“If I can endure being around someone like you, what else is impossible for me?” Jiang Yuning asked as she laughed. “Anyway, since the variety show that she is starring in is garnering such huge attention and good reviews from the audience, I believe that she must have her own talents and abilities.”

After speaking, both of them put on their blindfolds so that they could rest before the mission. At this time, Ling Fei started sharing some of her past experiences and some of the strange things that she had encountered during her participation in various variety shows over the years. Although some of the scenarios that she described were very creepy, she instantly attracted the attention of the other members. Even Tong Tong could not help but be intrigued by the way she told her stories.

Jiang Yuning could not help the corner of her lip from curving up slightly as she eavesdropped on their conversation. As she had already predicted, Ling Fei could achieve all that she had today because she had her own abilities.

However, she did not know Ling Fei’s true purpose for agreeing to participate in <Desert Island Rescue>.

Was she here to educate her, or was she here to prove to Jiang Yuning, who was actually more superior in terms of popularity?

Ah…

…

The journey this time was also another ten hour drive. By the time they had arrived at their destination, everyone was already exhausted. Even Ling Fei could not stay up any longer and had already fallen asleep in her own seat.

When all of the members got off the bus, twilight had already fallen and the surrounding area looked desolated. The participants started wondering if it was the end of the world.

“What the…where are we?” Jin Mingchen asked as he felt cold shivers as soon as he got off the bus. He felt that the place was even more chilly because he was listening to Ling Fei’s creepy spiritual encounters on the ride here.

“This is a deserted island located on the far southeast. It is a private island and the iron gate that you see in front is the one and only entrance in and out of this island. We will be recording the third issue of the program here today,” one of the production crew stepped out to explain immediately.

“Am I mistaken? This is not a desert or a jungle? You actually said that we are on a private island?” Jin Mingchen asked in disbelief.

“Is this the only island located on the far southeast? Are you referring to the deserted island that people usually enter for exploration and never come out again?” At this time, Ling Fei suddenly stepped forward and asked the production crew.

“Uh…well…I can’t say that every single person…did not come out…” the producer replied to Ling Fei’s question in a polite manner.

In fact, he was just trying to create a more terrifying atmosphere.

“Sister Ling Fei, what do you mean when you said that they never come out again? Do you know much about this island?”

“Well, I have heard some stories about this island. They say that there are some evil forces on this island and everyone who steps into the island will disappear one after the other.”

“Sister Yuning, what about you? Have you heard about this island before?” Jin Mingchen asked as he turned around and looked at Jiang Yuning.

“No, I have never heard about it.”

The production team felt extremely satisfied after listening to Jiang Yuning’s reply. There was finally something that Jiang Yuning did not know of!

Hehehe. They had already brought in their A game this time. They would definitely be able to outwit Jiang Yuning this time.

At this time, Jin Mingchen sat down on the ground before he started crying again. “Mom! I want to go home now. The production team is crazy! Sobs!”

This was because even the iron gate next to them looked so gloomy and eerie at first glance.

However, the production crew simply ignored Jin Mingchen as he continued crying.

“It is seven o’clock at night now and we will officially announce the rules and regulations of the game this issue. The theme for this issue that we are recording today is called the <Mysterious Key>. This is a personal battle and everyone who successfully completes the mission will be awarded fifty points. Similarly, anyone who fails to complete the mission will get fifty points deducted from the total amount of points that they have currently accumulated.”

“In a short while, the production crew will blindfold each and every one of you, and you will be required to draw a card that will determine your fate in this competition. Among the ten cards, one would be the source of all evil and one of it is the god of luck. The remaining eight members will take on the role of normal civilians. The two members who pick the cards stating that they are the source of all evil and the god of luck will be the team leaders for two separate groups. The civilians will be given the opportunity to select the team leader they would like to follow and spend the next twenty-four hours with to complete the task of finding the key to open up the iron gate. Of course, you will also be given the option to complete the mission on your own without following any groups, but this is not advisable because you will definitely miss out on many clues.”

“In addition, all of you are required to put on the special battle gear that we have already prepared in advance for you. Each of you will also be given a backpack to carry along with you. You should take extra care to use the supplies and tools that we have given you in a reasonable manner because this would definitely help you complete the mission.”

“Finally, if anyone of you cannot hold on any longer, you can use the smoke bomb that we have placed inside the backpack to call for help. This will immediately eliminate you from the game.”

“Alright then, everyone will draw their own cards first. Production crew, please blindfold everyone.”
