In the previous survival world, time was somewhat tight, but in some later worlds, he had ample time to learn other skills.
For instance, in the virus world, it was quite boring staying in the mountains, so he spent his free time reading books and even occasionally creating his own works.
…
At around three or four in the afternoon, there weren’t many people in the restaurant.
The dim yellow light was refracted by the transparent, shining glasses, creating a unique ambiance. There were some boxes on the dining table, and the director’s team was sitting not far away, holding two cameras, waiting for the eight participants to gather.
Once everyone had arrived, the director smiled and began to introduce the concept.
“This filming will be quite innovative. Besides having a PD following the entire time, everyone will also carry portable cameras and recording devices. After individual recordings, you will have free time, as we want to capture the most authentic travel experiences.”
“There are many entertainment facilities on the cruise ship, and we have hidden special items in various corners. You will be able to claim rewards based on these items before disembarking.”
“Of course, each person must find at least one, and out of the 100 items, only one is truly special.”
As he spoke, he suddenly paused, chuckling softly. The corners of his mouth curled into a somewhat chilling smile, and his rough voice continued, “Even if you can’t find it, that’s fine, but do remember—”
“Don’t let others find it first.”
The other participants simultaneously displayed confused expressions.
Lin Ya lowered his head, the messy bangs obscuring his sharp gaze.
He certainly understood what the director meant.
He slightly moved his fingers, and three invisible floating live-streaming devices followed behind the director.
When he disembarked and encountered other key figures, these live devices would be controlled to follow those individuals, although the chance of capturing the mastermind behind the scenes was still slim.
In the bright room, Lin Ya revealed his handsome face, smiled slightly towards the camera, and the gold-rimmed glasses he randomly wore perfectly softened his piercing gaze, making him appear gentle yet somewhat captivating.
“Oh, this person from Huaguo looks too weak; I can guarantee he might not make it to the end.”
“This is the key from that country. I wonder if he knows martial arts.”
“I prefer that tall guy…”
“I have high hopes for him; he does look quite handsome.”
Unseen by them, a group of people was watching all the contestants on the cruise ship through a website, evaluating each other’s appearances and abilities with unrestrained comments, while some sent filthy names.
All users on the site were required to register with real names and had to meet certain thresholds to join. Anyone attempting to leak information would not survive to see the next day.
“Alright, that wraps up the interview with Teacher Shen. We hope you have a wonderful trip that you’ve been looking forward to on the ship…”
Lin Ya adjusted his glasses, gently curling his lips, “Ah… I’m really looking forward to it…”
“Could you also call Teacher He Yu from your room when you head out?”
“Sure.”
Lin Ya returned to his room to let He Yu go for a separate interview, placing the portable camera and recording device on the table before checking the bathroom, where he thankfully discovered no small devices.
However, in the bedroom, there were several hidden angles.
Thinking about how they could be seen wherever they went, and the omnipresent speakers around, Lin Ya couldn’t help but feel that the original host was quite lucky to have lasted until the tenth day.
“Knock, knock—” A knocking sound came from outside.
“Come in.”
Bai Yuxi poked his head in, “Brother Shen, do you want to go to the restaurant together later?”
“Sure,” Lin Ya replied, taking his time as the scheduled time hadn’t arrived yet; he could enjoy the two days leisurely.
“Then we’ll come to find you later and go to the restaurant together.”
“Sounds good.”
Around seven o’clock in the evening, several of them gathered for dinner, with only one camera present for show. Lin Ya took a closer look and realized the camera wasn’t even turned on; the so-called photographer had gone off to eat at a nearby table.
Holding his knife and fork, Lin Ya paused slightly, feeling a wave of nausea at the thought of someone voyeuristically observing them through a pinhole camera in their room.
However, this was not something he could vocalize; he had to pretend he didn’t know.
“We wouldn’t be eating plain white people’s meals for half a month on this ship, would we…” He Yu, a true gourmet from Huaguo, could only handle two or three days of Western cuisine at most. Eating and then suddenly realizing they could only eat Western food for more than ten days made him think of the few packets of pickled vegetables he had brought, originally planning to eat them for just a week, but now he faced the prospect of needing them for several more days. He wasn’t sure if there was enough.
“Nope,” Lin Ya replied, as the ship had only prepared enough food for over a thousand people for three days.
“Ah? Is there a Huaguo chef on board? Or is there a chef who can cook Huaguo dishes?” Bai Yuxi bit into a steak, intrigued.
“I brought some compressed biscuits. If I don’t want Western food, I can eat biscuits—one piece can last a day.” Lin Ya smiled slightly, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Shi Hua took a sip of water, looking at him with a gaze of disbelief, silently thinking he had expected him to be a more aloof person, only to find out he could joke around.
“Why are you just eating this little?” Seeing the fruits on Lü Ci’s plate, Wen Wenxu was shocked. Can one really get full just from fruits?
Lü Ci, suffering from seasickness, stretched his neck, popping small tomatoes into his mouth while his voice came out weak, “… just being able to eat is enough.”
“I’ll accompany you to ask others if they’ve brought seasickness medicine.” Wen Wenxu, sharing a room with him, was considerate.
“Thank you.”
Lin Ya squinted, briefly scanning over them, stopping on the two who hadn’t spoken much.
They seemed to be named Luo Chu and Luo Yuan, and they were said to be cousins, both part of the same team. They appeared quiet and had a low sense of presence.
