Chapter 1 Reborn
In the evening.
C. In a shabby house in a shanty town at the urban-rural fringe area outside the outskirts of the city.
Chen Zhe stretched and sat up from the sofa.
"I feel like I've been sleeping for a long time and my head is dizzy..."
He rubbed his sleepy eyes, then looked around.
However, he was stunned at this moment.
"Where is this? Why am I here?"
Chen Zhe only felt that the environment in front of him was a bit unfamiliar. He should be filming in the Hengdian crew now. He is a martial arts stand-in, specializing in filming scenes for celebrities.
But this is obviously not a crew.
"etc……"
Chen Zhe recalled carefully that he seemed to have an accident during filming. He fell from a high place, but his head hit the ground...
"Didn't I die from falling?"
At this time, another memory poured into his mind, making him figure out everything in front of him.
He did die in his previous world due to an accident, and now he is reborn in another parallel world.
In this world, he is still called Chen Zhe, but his identity is not a martial arts substitute, but a newly unemployed worker living in a shanty town at the urban-rural fringe.
"So that's it, I'm reborn..."
Chen Zhe couldn't help but smile.
"Why should I say I'm lucky or unfortunate?"
At this moment, the phone on the coffee table suddenly rang. It was a very cheap elderly phone. Chen Zhe could only afford this model in his current financial situation.
Chen Zhe immediately answered the phone: "Hello, I am Chen Zhe."
A nice female voice came from the phone receiver: "Hello, congratulations, you have passed the screening of our program team and obtained the qualification to participate in the program recording. Please bring your personal ID to Room 812, 15th Floor, C City TV Station, to report on January 13, and we will..."
Hearing this, Chen Zhe was a little lost.
What's going on?
What program team?
Did I sign up for a variety show? And a partner?
It was not until the woman on the phone talked about the situation that Chen Zhe recalled.
He did sign up for a variety show some time ago. The name of this variety show is "Wild Survival". The content of the show is to throw 10 stars and 40 amateurs into a wilderness, and then let them survive in the wild for infinite time.
The entire survival process must be broadcast live online. There will be hosts and outdoor survival experts in the live broadcast room for real-time comments. Participants who cannot hold on can withdraw at any time and the contestants who persist until the end win.
The final champion's prize is 20 million yuan.
Even if you withdraw from the competition midway, the contestants can still receive a subsidy of 5,000 yuan.
Chen Zhe has been unemployed for more than three months and he is very short of money. With a try-out attitude, he signed up for this variety show.
Unexpectedly, he was actually selected.
"It seems that I'm still very lucky..." Chen Zhe smiled, "I can get at least 5,000 yuan in subsidy."
Each contestant can bring a partner to form a team, so Chen Zhe also brought another person when he signed up. The partner he chose was his neighbor, a girl named Cheng Yan'er.
Cheng Yan'er is only 19 years old, 5 years younger than Chen Zhe. Her parents divorced and were raised by her grandmother since she was a child. She came out to work after finishing junior high school. She now works as a waiter in a cafe.
During this period, Yan'er's grandmother fell seriously ill and she urgently needed some money to treat her grandmother. After hearing about the variety show "Survival in the Wild", she chose to join Chen Zhe without hesitation to sign up.
"That's great, I have to tell Yan'er the good news..." Chen Zhe made up his mind.
Just then, the knock on the door started.
"Brother Chen, are you here?"
A gentle voice with a hint of tenderness came, and it was his neighbor Yan'er.
"I'm here."
Chen Zhe walked over and opened the door with his slippers. Yan'er, wearing a cafe waiter uniform and wrapped in an apron, was standing outside the door.
Yan'er is a thin and slender girl, very delicate. Although she is nineteen years old, she looks like a high school student.
Her skin was very pale and her face was not very bloody. This was related to her malnutrition when she was a child, and she felt a bit like Lin Daiyu.
When he saw Chen Zhe, Yan'er whispered: "Brother Chen, have you eaten? I just cooked some food. Should I eat together?"
Yan'er knew that Chen Zhe was unemployed for three months and had no source of income during this period. She was worried that Chen Zhe would not be able to eat, so she deliberately cooked more vegetables every day and asked Chen Zhe to eat with her.
Before, Yan'er's grandmother was sick, and Chen Zhe borrowed some money. The girl has a kind-hearted personality, so she takes good care of Chen Zhe in life.
Chen Zhe also understood that this was Yan'er's intention, so he did not keep anyone from a thousand miles away. He smiled and nodded: "Okay."
After saying that, he took the door to Yan'er's house.
After entering the door, Yan'er went to the kitchen to serve the dishes on the table.
The dish is very simple, just a dish of ordinary cabbage vermicelli roasted tofu, half a cabbage, a piece of tofu, a handful of vermicelli, pour some soy sauce and sprinkle with a handful of salt, simmer in the pot for half an hour and then cook it.
It costs only 2 yuan and 30 cents to make such a dish. For Chen Zhe and Yan'er, who are in a very difficult family, it is already a good meal.
Although there was no meat or fish at all, all of them were vegetarian dishes, Chen Zhe and Yan'er also had a great time eating, especially Chen Zhe, who ate three bowls of rice with the dishes.
Yan'er held the bowl and looked at Chen Zhe with a smile, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Chen has a good appetite today."
Chen Zhe nodded and said mysteriously: "Because I'm in a good mood today."
"Why?" Yan'er was a little curious and asked with her head tilted, "Is there any good news?"
Chen Zhe kept it a secret: "Guess Yan'er."
Yan'er thought for a while: "Have you... found a job?"
Chen Zhe couldn't help laughing: "No, it's better news than finding a job."
"Wonderful news than finding a job?" Yan'er's big eyes flashed with doubt, "What's that good news?"
Chen Zhe put down his bowls and said solemnly: "Yan'er, the Wilderness Survival Program Team contacted me just now. The people in the program team said we were selected. We can participate in this variety show. If we win the championship, we will have a bonus of 20 million, and even if we are eliminated, we will have a allowance of 5,000 yuan!"
When Yan'er heard this news, she was so excited that she almost turned over the job she was holding.
"Really? Brother Chen, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
"I'm a puppy," Chen Zhe said with a smile.
"That's great!" Yan'er shouted in a low voice, and then couldn't help but whisper, "If you have money, you can treat grandma..."
Looking at Yan'er's joyful look, Chen Qiao couldn't help but smile.
However, at this time, Yan'er began to worry again and asked with some trepidation: "But Brother Chen, there are so many people participating in the show, we will be eliminated soon, right?"
Hearing this, Chen Zhe couldn't help but reach out and rub Yan'er's black hair.
"Don't worry, have confidence in yourself. Let's work together and maybe we can get a good ranking."
