Chapter 623 Seeking Poison in the Wilderness (XIX)

The next day, at three in the morning.

The competition had only lasted fifteen hours, and five of the ten contestants were eliminated. They were... Warren Bafet, Lindsay Rohan, Baron Solomon Screwchaide, Barack Hussein Oguanhai, and East Gu.

Among them... Rohan, Oguanhai, and Gu were all eliminated by Stephen Tan, played by Feng Bujue; and Bafet was eliminated by Rohan.

As for Baron Solomon Screwchaide... he gave up on his own. After finding the first marijuana hiding place, he stopped there, leisurely smoked two marijuana sticks in the plastic bag, and then announced to a nearby camera that he wanted to withdraw from the competition.

Objectively speaking, the Baron's move was quite wise. When you feel that you have little chance of winning, giving up is undoubtedly the most rational approach; if you continue to waste time with a fluke mentality, the situation will only get worse. Compared to "getting your knees smashed" or "trying your best for 72 hours but still failing in the end", quitting early can at least save you some pain.

In addition, among the five survivors, there is another one who is almost: half-eliminated. That is contestant No. 10 - John Winston. Pus.

Like the Baron, Mr. Pus smoked the first batch of marijuana immediately after finding it. But after smoking it, he neither gave up nor continued to explore...

He just stayed where he was, resting silently for several hours...

His attitude was very negative, and he seemed to have no intention of doing anything.

In desperation, the program team sent a staff member to ask him if there was anything wrong with his body. As a result, Pus replied that he was sitting in for love and peace, and his behavior was a protest against the program and the world.

So the staff left again because the director decided... to let him continue to protest...

In summary. There are only four competitive players on the island now - Block, Bubo, Laden and Carbon.

If the elimination rhythm of the first day continues, I am afraid that the survivors of this episode of "Wild Poison" will be born before sunset on the second day.

And this... is a situation that Feng Bujue is extremely reluctant to see.

Now looking back at the two main tasks of this script: [Survive on Cannabis Island for 72 hours] and [Complete at least six challenges given by the program team], we can see a lot of potential information... or potential "difficulties".

First of all, the phrase "Survive on Cannabis Island for 72 hours"... is a huge trap in itself.

Under the joint misleading of the opening CG and the second main task, it is easy for players to have an inertial thinking, as if the purpose of this script is to win the "Wild Poison".

However... as the script unfolds, Feng Bujue gradually realizes... that this is not the case.

If you take the first main task out alone. You will find that... there is no absolute causal relationship between surviving on the island for 72 hours and winning the game.

Secondly, the "Complete at least six challenges given by the program team" also has a very obvious restriction - you must wait for the program team to "give" you the challenge. But... what if they don't give it to you? Or... do they think that there is no need to give it to you anymore?

Seeing this, I believe you all understand...

If the player quickly eliminates all nine opponents and wins the game, then this script is equivalent to game_over.

Because from the moment you win, you have no reason to stay on this island...

If you stay on this deserted island, there are usually two results. The better one is: everyone just thinks you are arrogant for a while. Go back to the boat and wait for you for a day and a half, and then leave when you figure it out. The worse and more likely result is: people will catch you as a lunatic, forcibly drag you onto the boat, and leave the island first...

Take a step back. Even if you really succeed in staying on the island for 72 hours, the program team will not give you any "challenges".

Therefore, the real difficulty of this script lies in... the two main tasks before and after. In fact, there is a certain conflict; and the basic setting of the plot is also in conflict with these two tasks.

This conflict is not contrary to each other, but a mutually restraining relationship. For example... if the player wants to complete the main task 1, he cannot win the game too early. But if he wants to complete the main task 2, he has to do the challenge, but doing the challenge will expand his advantage and win the game faster...

Also, how to deal with those "opponents" is also a very tangled and contradictory thing. If they are all eliminated, you win the game and lose the script... But if you keep them, it is equivalent to keeping a potential threat.

Any opponent may cause a fatal blow to you at an unexpected moment (Brother Jue was almost eliminated by Luohan before, if it weren't for Kevin, he would have been finished), and their threat will become more and more serious over time.

Because... the situation at the end of the game must be: there are only a few people left on the island, and among these people, the player is the one who has completed the most challenges. And the number of challenges completed by others is unlikely to exceed six (after all, they don't have any hard indicators in this regard)... Then, if they want to win, there is only one way-eliminate the person who has completed more challenges.

Imagine that in the early morning of the fourth day, when there are about ten hours left before the end of the game. Anyone who has not been eliminated will definitely have the thought of "I have already made it this far, I want to win!" At this time, they are usually hungry, addicted to drugs, eager to win, and have lost their minds...

At that time, the program team will also mediate. They will go to those who are lagging behind to fan the flames, reveal some information about the leaders, and give a choice: "Do you want to take another challenge from me and try to surpass him... Or do you want to know his current coordinates and then do something?"

Then, the most interesting part of this reality show will be staged-all kinds of crazy fights, swear words, and scuffles will appear.

This is the guarantee of ratings, and this is what the audience of that era wanted to see...

You can say that it is morbid, degenerate or vulgar, but in their eyes, it is something normal that does not need to be justified.

Once upon a time, people looked at everything on the screen with kindness and were moved by some performances that were not brilliant but very sincere.

Later, people looked at entertainment products with a relatively objective attitude, enjoying the wonderful creativity and dazzling visual effects.

Later, people began to pursue being outstanding and weird, in order to show their so-called "personality" that no one cared about, or to satisfy certain needs deep in their hearts. As a result, borderline pornographic propaganda, mentally retarded idol culture, cheap and vulgar hype, and shameless plagiarism of celebrities emerged and gradually became the mainstream.

In the 25th century, in a peaceful era, an era when no one had to worry about starvation, what kind of things would people be eager to see...

The answer is simple - conflict, violence, and competition.

People have seen enough of the hypocritical tears, hypocritical smiles, hypocritical praise, and hypocritical surprise on the stage. They want to see naked, undecorated, real reality shows.

This is "Wild Poison".

…………

In the cave.

The fire on the ground has gone out.

The heavy rain outside the cave gradually turned smaller and turned into a drizzle. The thunder stopped around midnight, and the wind also weakened a lot.

Last night, when Jue Ge and Kevin went to hunt Gala crocodiles, the staff of the program came to this cave in the rain and carried away Luohan, who was injured and unable to move. So when Jue Ge came back with the crocodile meat, there was no one in the cave.

Because it was rainy, these people left obvious traces, and Feng Bujue, who returned, quickly guessed what had just happened.

He didn't care about it, but just lit the fire again, and while drying his clothes, shoes and socks, he enjoyed a delicious meal that he had never tasted in real life.

No words all night...

By this early morning, Feng Bujue, who had rested for several hours, had basically restored all his physical strength.

And this also means that he is going to take action... (To be continued...)
