70: Why are you eating my steamed bun?

The comments scrolled rapidly; some were happy, others worried.

“A rational analysis: this rule update is clearly aimed at Brother Wo Zi's foraging behavior. If the farmers' income isn't increased, the program will become distorted, and most of the wealth will flow into Brother Wo Zi's pocket.”

“Overall, I look forward to what happens next. This mission change will disrupt the previous situation, and the 'lazy fish' farmers will probably get fired up again~”

The Program Production Crew Planner smiled contentedly; this was the result of a full day of research yesterday.

Gao Xiaofan's foraging behavior completely distanced him from the other Guests, making the program dull. If not restricted, the show would quickly lose its appeal.

At this moment, however, Gao Xiaofan had no time to look at the comments; he was leaning against a tree, gasping for breath and resting.

Qiu Gu, next to him, was also breathing heavily.

Gao Xiaofan looked at the large body of water at the mountain peak, feeling immense bitterness inside.

It took him over half an hour to climb over from the pond. The view from the top instantly opened up. It was less of a peak and more of a very flat plateau. He immediately saw the large body of water. He thought the mission was about to be completed, but unexpectedly, the upper reaches of that large body of water windingly extended again to the foot of another mountain.

At this point, he had some conjectures.

There is a river within City's borders, the An River.

The System's final mission destination was very likely there.

Having rested well, Gao Xiaofan wiped the sweat from his face, slowly leaned on a tree trunk on the mountain, and began to walk down.

He couldn't help but look back and ask Qiu Gu with his eyes if he needed help, but Qiu Gu shook his head.

Going up the mountain is easy, but going down is hard. Going down requires slowness and stability, or your legs will be ruined by the time you reach the bottom.

Fortunately, the terrain here was noticeably higher, and the descent only took about ten minutes to reach the bottom. Qiu Gu breathed a sigh of relief, finally reaching the water's edge.

He never knew how crazy Anglers were before, but now he did.

Just as Qiu Gu was about to put down his backpack, he saw Gao Xiaofan continue walking forward without looking back.

Qiu Gu had a face full of question marks???

Fans in the comments were also guessing.

“Brother Wo Zi, why are you still going forward? Is he choosing a fishing spot?”

“That spot was pretty good just now, a big bend! And it looks like Brother Wo Zi is getting farther and farther away from the river?”

Gao Xiaofan did not answer. Feeling the movement in his mind, he continued walking forward.

Annan City has high humidity. After all this exertion, his whole body was sticky. Gao Xiaofan walked for a long time but still didn't receive the System's mission completion prompt, so he sighed.

Looking at the slope ahead, he was completely numb.

Qiu Gu looked at Gao Xiaofan ahead, stepping firmly toward that even higher mountain, feeling completely miserable.

Climbing again???

The staff in the background looked at the transmitted footage, feeling a bit confused.

The comments section exploded.

“Brother Wo Zi is still going to climb? If he climbs any more, he'll climb right into Annan City~”

“Hahaha, Brother Wo Zi is preparing to escape the Program Production Crew~ I'm dying of laughter.”

“Brother Wo Zi: The world is so big, I want to go see it~”

“If he climbs again, he'll probably reach the An River, hahahahaha *hiccup*~”

“The An River??? The one that passes through two provinces and crosses multiple cities???”

“Now that you mention it, I feel like Brother Wo Zi is indeed heading there.”

“...No way.”

Qiu Gu followed behind with a look of distress. Just now, the Program Production Crew issued an instruction: continue filming, do not interfere with the Guest's actions.

They didn't stop at all along the way. By noon, both of them collapsed onto the ground. They dug out steamed buns from their respective bags, took out their Large Hiking Water Bottles, and ate them with water.

Gao Xiaofan's expression was calm. If a Top-tier Title was so easy to acquire, it would be unrealistic.

Since he had already come this far, he naturally couldn't give up halfway.

Qiu Gu chewed on his steamed bun while looking at the Young man in front of him, feeling genuine admiration for the first time.

He had filmed so many celebrities, but he had never seen anyone work this hard.

He had already earned nearly ten million in cash by choosing his teammates, and his earnings in the program crushed the competition, yet he was still pushing himself. His own calves were cramping up, but he was still going.

Although he didn't understand the meaning of Gao Xiaofan's actions, this drive was fierce enough.

After resting for a while, Gao Xiaofan signaled Qiu Gu with his eyes, and then continued climbing upward.

“Brother Wo Zi has completely broken the show. Rural Life has turned into Wilderness Survival.”

“Mainly, Brother Wo Zi is too good at creating hype. Now, who online doesn't know Brother Wo Zi~”

“I came to watch this show after seeing the videos edited by TikTok Streamers~”

As soon as the Show Water Bright Mountain variety show aired, it dominated trending searches on major platforms. The interesting events that occurred during the livestream were also edited by various Self-media accounts and posted on video platforms.

The most appealing element was the Dark Horse internet celebrity, Brother Wo Zi—Gao Xiaofan—who crushed the entire field.

On the first day, he tricked all the Guests into working for him.

On the second day, he engaged in foraging, directly becoming self-sufficient.

On the third day, the 1888 Sturgeon was sold off with tears, attracting massive wealth.

Gao Xiaofan had played this variety show to the extreme, which also attracted a large wave of viewers. Many people who were initially uninterested in the show and thought it was scripted were also drawn in.

Show Water Bright Mountain had become a phenomenal variety show, discussed everywhere on the streets. This was evident from Ai Qi Film and Television's Three Consecutive Daily Limits on the Stock Market.

Gao Xiaofan, the most dazzling person on the show, maintained a popularity of over 50 million in his livestream room 24 hours a day.

By evening, Gao Xiaofan set up his Tent, greeted the audience in the livestream room, and slipped into his Sleeping Bag.

Gao Xiaofan speechlessly looked at Qiu Gu behind the Camera, who was chewing on a steamed bun.

“You're the Staff Member, okay? Why are you eating my steamed bun~”

Qiu Gu looked wronged. He was groggy when he arrived this morning. The Program Production Crew handed him two steamed buns and they set off, resulting in a full day of travel.

Gao Xiaofan looked at the wronged Qiu Gu, sighed, ignored him, rolled over, and closed his eyes to sleep.

He was already halfway up the mountain. The mission could definitely be completed tomorrow; he could faintly hear the sound of waves crashing.

It was just a shame he didn't bring enough steamed buns. He had originally brought ten, which would certainly have been enough to last until tomorrow afternoon. But Qiu Gu finished his steamed buns at noon today, and by night, he was staring at Gao Xiaofan pitifully. Gao Xiaofan couldn't just watch him starve.

They only had four steamed buns left, which would be finished in one meal tomorrow morning for both of them.

Seeing Gao Xiaofan's disgusted look, Qiu Gu felt like crying but had no tears. After silently aiming the Camera at Gao Xiaofan, he also set up his own Tent.

Xiushui Village.

The Guests were packing up and rushing back to the village, their expressions joyful.

Huahua: “I earned over 700 yuan today, hahaha~”

Han Han's mouth curved wildly: “I got 860! I didn't see Gao Xiaofan again today. He didn't go fishing again, did he~”

Huahua: “That's why I say Xiaofan is a good person. If he doesn't fish, where would you get such delicious river fresh.”

Han Han...
