Chapter 119 – Wilderness Winner (1)
“Is there something wrong with this person? They’ve called so many times!”
At the Indonesia International Airport VIP lounge room, Xiao Xia was anxiously finishing up the preparations, but her phone was ringing nonstop, making her heart hurt.
“Enough. Just sit down and rest for a bit.” Su Jishi was leisurely sitting on the sofa and flipping through the local newspaper. On the empty ground beside her, there was a medium-sized hiking bag that was bulging. “Who called? Why aren’t you picking up?”
Xiao Xia responded. “Who else could it be? Crank calls. It’s from Australia. I picked up, but no one said anything. I just hear noises from the other side. It’s so annoying!”
As an artist’s assistant, Xiao Xia needed to keep her phone on 24/7. Many times, business invitations and dinner party invitations would go through her. She had thousands of contacts on her phone and there were countless others who had her phone number. Therefore, she installed an app to block the crank calls. If there was a suspicious phone number, she just ignored it.
“Crank call from Australia? I also received it.” Fang Xie replied. “The person keeps on calling, but when I pick up, I can’t hear what they’re saying. Therefore, I just blacklisted them.”
They didn’t place the strange “crank calls” in their hearts. In the entertainment circle, this low-level prank was common. There were even some people who internationally sold the celebrities’ phone numbers. In the past, Xiao Xia had changed her phone number three times because of harassing calls. It seemed like she needed to change her phone number again.
“Don’t mention that first. Xiao Xia, you prepared too little things for Sister Su. Look at how much the others have brought. Your bag isn’t even half the size of the others.” Fang Xie lowered his voice as he said, “This 《Wilderness Winner 》is a variety show for wildlife survival. No matter how half-heartedly you treat this, you can’t just bring a small bag like this!”
A month or longer ago, the program group for 《Wilderness Winner 》had given Fang Xie an invitation for Su Jin to participate in the “number one wildlife survival reality show domestically.” The Apple TV station and America’s Discovery Channel worked together to push for this show. Drawing on the advanced experiences abroad, they invited special force soldiers as the celebrities’ military instructors. They would lead the celebrities through this wildlife survival exploration. Not only would this show appear domestically, but it would also be broadcasted on Discovery Asia-Pacific Channels too. To celebrities, this was a very good chance to promote their reputation and fame.
Reality shows were always regarded as a “magic mirror” because it was here that many celebrities’ “larger than life” image was shattered. When the audience saw that they were overly willful, dainty, and even lacked common knowledge, they started to detest them. But there were also some ordinary celebrities who were originally regarded as the backdrop that ended up stealing the popular ones’ limelight because of their outstanding performances in the reality show.
This program had been prepared for a year or so, and millions were invested in this. They planned on flying the six people abroad to a desolate region where the show was set. The process of filming was interesting and exciting. Plus, there was a professional helicopter aiding team. They would guarantee perfection in all aspects.
The invitation for the show had been delivered in the first half of the year. However, upon considering Su Jinqing’s personality, Fang Xie thought that she wasn’t suitable for this show. Therefore, he’d rejected it. Who knew the plan would change so quickly. Su Jishi had entered the entertainment circle for her sister. This new Goddess Su knew nothing about acting, so she awkwardly acted in front of the camera. Since the artist couldn’t act, the only way to stay exposed was to attend reality shows. Coincidentally, Su Jishi was interested in this sort of reality show. Fang Xie hurriedly contacted the program group and inserted Su Jishi into the show.

The script for the program was delivered over in advance. The first episode was going to be in beautiful Indonesia. Across the equator, there was the typical rainy and warm rainforest atmosphere. It was above 30º C all year round.
It was already November and winter in the Northern Hemisphere. They flew over from the chilly weather in the capital. Before getting on the plane, they covered themselves. The moment they landed, they were sweating and burning under the Indonesian bright sun.
The staff members in the program group hurriedly brought them to the VIP lounge room. Several celebrities had arrived already. Everyone gathered together to chat and take pictures, leaving the suitcases to the assistants.
It was only now that Fang Xie realized that Su Jishi only brought a small hiking bag.
All the other celebrities in the VIP lounge had not only brought two large suitcases but also prepared a large hiking bag. Their “camel friends” carried the equipment for them.
Looking at the size, one could tell it was definitely not light.
Xiao Xia said, feeling wronged, “Brother Fang, it’s not that I didn’t pack for Sister Su. She didn’t let me! She said she would pack herself. Who knew that she ended up packing a small bag like that…”
Actually, Su Jishi’s bag was definitely not small. However, compared to the huge bags others had brought, it did look a bit unpresentable.
But this bag wasn’t ordinary. This was her casual excursion bag that she always carried on her, even when she was “kidnapped” by Fang Xie and A-Shan from America she had this on her.
It was different from the new hiking bags of the other celebrities. And because she had used this wildlife bag for several years, it appeared ragged. The straps and the bag itself were ripped and worn-down. Thankfully, it didn’t impact the use.

The bag was low-profile and brownish-gray in color. It was made from the material used for parachutes, and the six pockets outside the bag provided organized space for everyday items. Su Jishi didn’t even need to take down her bag. Instead, she just needed to rummage to feel for the item she needed. Besides this, she’d especially brought along her precious hammer. Although it could come in handy, the reason she brought it along was that, if left unused for a period of time, the hammer would rust!
Like what Xiao Xia said, Su Jishi had personally packed her things this time. She didn’t let Xiao Xia intervene at all. It was unknown where Xiao Xia had searched for “what to bring to the wilderness,” but she’d printed out a long list. She wanted to let Su Jishi bring all the hundred or so items on the list.
However, it only made Su Jishi feel helpless. So she decided to pack things herself instead. After all, she was an expert in the wilderness. No matter whether it’s the Gobi Desert, the glaciers, or the moist and warm rainforest, she had personally experienced them all.
As an experienced professional in this field, Su Jishi didn’t have any other abilities, but she was skilled in not letting herself die in the wilderness.
