8: The core is wilderness survival.

After a moment of silence, the screen was overwhelmed by the barrage army.

"Pfft!!! Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter, he actually left by himself."

"Kaluo's expression was completely stunned. Lu Qingyu actually left alone."

"Lu Qingyu, you punk, apologize for doing such a ridiculous thing with that face!"

"His rolling suitcase is too flashy, does a suitcase like that even exist?"

"I'm convulsing from laughter. The little brother is clueless about romance. He just abandoned Kaluo, such a beautiful older sister? Does he know he's participating in a love sect show?!"

"So young. The little brother missed the chance to gain favor from the older sister."

"I love this suitcase."

Unexpectedly, ten minutes after Lu Qingyu appeared, his suitcase's popularity soared. Everyone searched for Lu Qingyu's exact model, and after searching:

"Damn it, no wonder they haven't seen it, 20989!"

"His change can buy three of my suitcases."

"I'd still rather walk a couple more steps myself."

As soon as Su Jixing left, he immediately turned on the phone stream. He wanted to see how Lu Qingyu was doing, and when he saw Lu Qingyu riding his luggage away, Su Jixing almost choked on air.

Lu Qingyu demanded this suitcase be bought, but Su Jixing never imagined he would use it like this. Regret, but it was too late.

Where is the humility? Where are the manners? Where is the helpfulness? He had just finished giving instructions ten minutes ago. Lu Qingyu should have remembered it for at least two hours for his sake. Instead, Lu Qingyu turned around and forgot everything.

Su Jixing especially wanted to call Lu Qingyu and roar about his instructions.

When Lu Qingyu arrived at the villa, there were already five people inside.

They were the hip-hop singer He Chenguang, 26; the surgeon Su Jing, 32; the returned scholar Wen Minmin, 24; the flight attendant Bai Tingxin, 28; and the designer Yao Yiyi, 34.

Seeing Lu Qingyu arrive, they all stood up to greet him. The first thing Lu Qingyu did after entering the room wasn't to look at the people, but at the table. Hmm? No food? No food being served at mealtime, something is up.

Everyone was quite surprised to see such a young and handsome younger brother.

While everyone was greeting each other, Kaluo and the other male guest finally arrived.

Although Lu Qingyu didn't help Kaluo carry her suitcase, that didn't mean others wouldn't. Kaluo met the last male guest, Lü Qing.

Lü Qing, lawyer, 32 years old.

At this point, all eight guests had assembled.

"Wow, the looks this season are amazing. Different types, but the men are handsome and the women are beautiful."

"Lü Qing the lawyer is really good, so restrained in his suit."

"The female guests are also so pleasing to the eye. Yao Yiyi really has that mature woman vibe."

"I like Bai Tingxin's style, she looks so gentle."

After everyone exchanged brief greetings, the Program Production Team staff began announcing the program rules.

Director Zhao PD held the opening script in his hand and said, off-camera: "Welcome everyone to the third season of Love Journey. I am Director Zhao Xian, and I will now read out the rules for this variety show."

"This journey lasts 18 days in total. True love requires enduring hardship to reveal its sincerity, so this season's theme is 'Sharing Joy and Sorrow'."

"From this moment on, the Program Production Team will no longer provide free food. If guests want to obtain food, they must earn money by completing tasks to purchase it."

"Here it comes, the love sect is doing Wilderness Survival! I love watching this."

"I just love seeing handsome men and beautiful women unable to eat, wondering if they'll starve to death."

"This is a good idea. Watching people date every day is boring. Love needs some financial constraints to test if it's true love."

Lu Qingyu: Hmph, I expected this. I knew things wouldn't be as simple as just casually dating.

Lü Qing is a lawyer, and he immediately grasped a loophole in the program. When they arrived, the Program Production Team hadn't confiscated their wallets, so Lü Qing asked:

"Director, can I use the money I have on me?"

Director Zhao PD said: "The money you have on you doesn't count. All guests' starting capital is 50 yuan. Only money earned during the program can be used."

"Accommodation rooms also need to be purchased. This program offers three types of rooms: Room One, based on the Imperial Presidential Suite standard, priced at 200 yuan; Room Two, based on the Business Room standard, priced at 100 yuan; and Room Three, a five-square-meter single room, priced at 50 yuan."

"Director, what if we can't even afford Room Three?"

Kaluo raised a question everyone was concerned about. Director Zhao PD said:

"If you truly have no money, the Program Production Team will kindly provide one tent, allowing you to camp on the lawn outside the villa."

Kaluo's mood instantly soured when she heard that. She definitely didn't want to sleep in a tent.

Everyone else had the same reaction; nobody wanted to sleep outside.

"Hahaha, I really want to see them all sleeping in tents."

"So miserable, but so interesting. I wonder what will happen to them tonight."

"The program will release solo tasks and duo tasks every week. guests can choose the task type themselves."

Everyone frowned as they listened to the rules. The previous two seasons of Love Journey required tasks, but they weren't this harsh. They joined this show to find love, not to suffer hardship. This season is truly awful.

It was almost one o'clock, and everyone was hungry. Yao Yiyi hadn't eaten breakfast because she wanted to wear a tight dress, so she was at her hungriest now.

"Director, is there no lunch today either?"

Director Zhao PD said: "Lunch needs to be purchased by everyone. The Program Production Team provides a self-service mini-market where you can choose to buy ingredients to cook yourselves, or buy prepared meals."

Director Zhao PD distributed the supermarket price list to everyone.

Wen Minmin: "One catty of potatoes 25, one bag of instant noodles 30, one hamburger 50, one serving of braised pork 200. Director, what kind of Black Market Store are you running?"

Everyone looked at the menu with speechless expressions. Yao Yiyi was practically frantic. With a starting capital of 50 yuan, if they ate, they were afraid they would have to sleep in a tent tonight.

Director Zhao PD said: "It is now 1:12 PM. The tasks have been released. Tasks will be settled before 10 PM tonight. Now, please have the four ladies draw lots. You will be paired with the four gentlemen. For the coming days, you will be a team. If you choose a duo activity, the two of you will complete it together."

"There will be many activities throughout the program, so please participate actively."
