2: Are the contestants recent college graduates?

After the light faded, Lu Fan opened his eyes.

Before him was a vast expanse of ocean; he was currently standing on a beach, the breeze carrying the scent of the sea.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Fan couldn't help but marvel, "How long has it been since I last smelled this briny scent?"

Meanwhile, the other contestants were scattered to different locations.

At this moment, various countries were using television stations to broadcast the light screen in the sky.

In the livestream room of China, the officials had specially invited the famous host Wang Tao, survival Expert Zhao Hangjun, and the renowned actress Yu Rui.

A massive audience immediately flooded into the livestream room.

"Anyone here? I'm first!"

"I see our Chinese contestants."

"Wow, there's a beauty too."

"Wow, Rui Rui is here too! Rui Rui, I love you!"

The Chinese audience also noticed the three contestants from their country.

Simultaneously, they began to speculate about the identities of the three contestants.

"Wow, one of the guys is really handsome."

"To the person above, what's the use of being handsome? Wilderness Survival doesn't depend on looks."

Meanwhile, in the wilderness, the other two Chinese contestants had also arrived at their locations.

There was a dark-skinned but robust tough guy who was currently observing his surroundings.

"Wow, you can tell this guy works out often."

"He looks so spirited; now this is a real handsome man."

"Could he be a soldier?"

Before long, the officials announced the contestants' identities in the livestream room.

"Ling Yue, male, 32 years old."

"Special Forces Soldier of the Langya Special Forces in the Southeast Theater Command. He has been awarded First-Class and Second-Class Merits in multiple overseas combat missions. He possesses extensive survival skills for harsh environments and a powerful ability to adapt."

As soon as this news broke, the netizens were instantly abuzz.

"Awesome! A Special Forces Soldier? Isn't this round a guaranteed win?"

"So he's a soldier; no wonder he's so handsome."

Host Wang Tao said with a smile, "He's a Special Forces Soldier from our country. I believe some of you have heard of them; every soldier in the Langya Special Forces has the ability to survive in extreme environments."

Soon, the identity of the other female contestant was also revealed.

"Wow, this lady is amazing! An outstanding graduate from a Medical University, and she's already financially independent at such a young age."

"Mainly, she's really pretty (♦∀♦)"

"Her name is An Lan."

"The name sounds nice too."

"The simps upstairs have had enough."

Wang Tao looked at Yu Rui, "She's a lady just as outstanding as Rui Rui."

Yu Rui immediately covered her mouth and giggled, "I'm still far behind An Lan; I need to keep working hard."

"Rui Rui is being too modest."

A Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine means she possesses many medical techniques and has an extensive knowledge of medicinal herbs.

This implies a much higher chance of success and safety in Wilderness Survival.

This filled the Chinese audience with confidence.

At this moment, some people also turned their attention to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan's lips curled into a smile because he had just discovered that his Golden Finger still worked here.

For example, a Prompt appeared right now.

[There is a crab under the rock to your front left.]

Having Prompts was equivalent to having a God's-eye view; this would make his survival journey very easy.

People in the livestream room also noticed Lu Fan's smile.

"What's going on? Why is he smiling? Could he be scared witless?"

"I bet he's just born with a crooked mouth."

"Found it! His name is Lu Fan, a college student who graduated not long ago."

"It's over. A college student? Won't he starve to death on the first day?"

"Expert: The tens of millions of college students graduating every year are just tens of millions of useless people, having neither strong physiques nor solid qualities..."

"What's with the Expert above? Looking down on college students, are we?"

"Compared to the other two contestants, this Lu Fan really doesn't have any advantages. I hope he'll be okay."

The audience showed great concern for Lu Fan, whose resume was utterly unremarkable.

Some viewers from other countries couldn't help but mock the situation upon seeing this.

"Your Chinese brat must be scared out of his wits; his mental fortitude is truly pathetic."

"Hahaha, as expected, Chinese people are all weak."

The Chinese audience immediately fired back.

"What are you so smug about? Our country still has the Special Forces Soldier Ling Yue."

"Exactly, and it's just the beginning. What's there to brag about?"

However, a portion of the audience also began to feel worried.

"Sigh, I just took a look at Pretty Country's livestream room. They have a contestant named Andre, a retired member of the Pretty Country Marine Corps who has been involved in Wilderness Survival shows for years."

"And their other two contestants are also very capable."

Seeing this, the Chinese audience immediately swarmed into Pretty Country's livestream room.

That contestant named Andre was a bald man; the first thing he did after being transported to the wilderness was weave a Grass skirt for himself.

In his livestream room, the audience from Pretty Country was also extremely excited.

"As expected of Andre, his practical skills are so strong, he's miles ahead of the contestants from those other countries."

"Among the Chinese contestants, there's actually a recent college graduate. I'm going to die laughing."

In the Chinese livestream room at this moment, Ling Yue, as a Special Forces Soldier, displayed an extraordinary calmness; he first observed his surroundings and then used a stick to draw a simple map on the ground.

The fifty-something-year-old Zhao Hangjun also smiled upon seeing this: "It seems Contestant Ling Yue is very professional. The first thing he did was observe the terrain to confirm his situation. This gives his subsequent survival a direction, so he won't get lost."

After determining a general direction, Ling Yue chose a path, picked up a wooden stick, and began his exploration.

Meanwhile, the beautiful doctor An Lan used her knowledge to search for useful medicinal herbs in the vicinity and began collecting materials to build a Shelter for herself.

After a moment of excitement, Lu Fan also quickly calmed down.

The priority was to survive first; the food scattered all over the place couldn't be wasted. He needed to collect them for tonight's dinner.

Seeing plenty of grass under the nearby trees, Lu Fan immediately started pulling it up and weaving the grass into ropes.

"What is he doing? Instead of rushing to build a Shelter or look for water, he's here weaving grass ropes?"

"What the hell? 'Rebirth: I'm Weaving Grass Ropes on a Deserted Island'?"

"It seems he's still too young and lacks experience."

"Do you think he's lost hope and is weaving a rope to hang himself?"

"Ah, surely not!"

The viewers speculated about Lu Fan's actions one after another.

Host Wang Tao then asked, "Teacher Zhao, based on your speculation, what is the situation with Contestant Lu Fan right now?"

Zhao Hangjun: "Many people are dazed when facing the unknown. As mentioned before, he's just an ordinary graduate; suddenly facing such a massive upheaval, he might not have reacted yet."

Zhao Hangjun then added, "I hope he can adapt to this change as quickly as possible; otherwise, it's very dangerous in the wild."

Wang Tao asked Yu Rui again, "Rui Rui, what do you think?"

Yu Rui looked at Lu Fan, "I actually feel that since he's so young, he should have plenty of ideas."

Meanwhile, Lu Fan had finally finished weaving several grass ropes.

He stood up, brushed the sand off his body, and began his performance.

Following the previous Prompt, he stepped forward and flipped over a rock, revealing a panicked Sea crab underneath; its thick claws looked very powerful.

Lu Fan swiftly pressed down on the crab's back, restricting its movement to prevent being pinched by its claws.

Finally, he pinned the crab with his foot and tied it up with a grass rope.
