Adam and Rock exchanged a glance.
Chen Wen enjoyed this challenging survival, and they were no exception.
After all, every survivor yearns for a more challenging survival, which is quite normal.
But that doesn’t an they would face it alone.
Adam glanced at Rock, and after Rock nodded, he said to Chen Wen, "Shall we join forces?"
Chen Wen was taken aback.
He didn’t expect Adam to be so straightforward.
"My request is simple, I get into the top three, Rock doesn’t care, and after surviving, I’ll split 40% of the ranking prize with you guys."
Adam quickly laid out his demands: "You just need not team up with Feng Zhong to eliminate , and at critical monts, the four of us will join forces."
Hearing this, Chen Wen briefly considered it.
He wasn’t too concerned about the money.
The survival rewards this ti weren’t much; the first place was only 300,000 US Dollars.
"Okay."
Chen Wen nodded, "But you’ll need to talk to Feng Zhong yourself; he’s my boss."
Adam breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed expression returning to his face, "Don’t worry, Mr. Feng and I go way back."
Go way back?
If you really go way back, would he be teaming up with Zhao to eliminate you?
Feeling Chen Wen’s gaze, Adam rubbed his forehead again.
Clearly, he’d understood the aning behind Chen Wen’s look.
"Alright, I won’t ss with you, let’s have a drink."
Chen Wen smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with Adam’s.
On the other side, Yoshikawa Feng appeared engrossed in the food, but was secretly keeping an eye on Chen Wen.
Seeing the three of them clinking glasses and chatting cheerfully,
Yoshikawa Feng quietly captured the mont on his phone.
Since everyone was imrsed in the banquet atmosphere, nobody noticed his little action.
This brought a smug smile to Yoshikawa Feng’s face.
"Chen Wen...hmph, that’s all there is to it. Chatting and laughing with Adam in such a public setting, aren’t you worried others will know you’re teaming up?"
"But since you’ve exposed the flaw yourself, don’t bla for using it to turn everyone against you!"
Yoshikawa Feng muttered quietly in Japanese, drawing quite dissatisfaction from the already drunk Brad nearby.
He thumped the table and scolded Yoshikawa Feng, "Yoshikawa, we’ve agreed to join forces, but why are you speaking in Japanese? Are you hiding sothing from ? This is not what partners do!"
Brad’s voice was loud, and everyone at the dining table turned to look.
Now Yoshikawa Feng wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Darn it! Why is this guy spouting nonsense in his drunkenness!
Is cooperation sothing that should be out in the open?
Yoshikawa Feng awkwardly glanced around, whispering to Brad, "Brother Brad, let’s keep our cooperation discreet..."
Upon hearing this, Brad was quite dissatisfied.
He thumped the table and pointed at Chen Wen and Adam over there, "Why be so cautious? Cooperation between contestants is quite obvious, isn’t it? Look at them, openly discussing cooperation!"
Chen Wen heard this and laughed, "Indeed, I have discussed cooperation with Adam and Rock, planning to team up in the upcoming survival."
Such forthright words made Brad give a thumbs up in approval.
"Great, I like straightforward people! Only such people can beco my friends! Friend, let’s drink together!"
"Haha, sa here, we have an old saying in Hua Country, ’A gentleman is open and agreeable.’"
Chen Wen said cheerfully.
But he didn’t expect Rock, who had been silent all along, to add, "Ah, that’s Confucius’ saying. I quite like it, but Chen Wen only said half; the other half says ’a petty person is constantly worried.’
Brad paused for a mont, not understanding the aning.
Rock kindly explained its aning imdiately, causing everyone’s gaze to shuttle between Chen Wen and Yoshikawa Feng.
Clearly, everyone had already matched the gentleman and the petty person accordingly.
At this mont, Yoshikawa Feng’s face completely changed.
He angrily glared at Chen Wen.
It’s obvious he blad Chen Wen for the mistake.
"Very well, Chen Wen, my verbal skills don’t match yours, but I hope you’ll impress in survival."
Having said this, Yoshikawa Feng left indignantly.
...
Watching Yoshikawa Feng’s departing figure.
Chen Wen pondered.
The issue seed simple, a debate between Yoshikawa Feng and Brad was dragged to Chen Wen’s side.
But Chen Wen had no intention of escalating the debate.
However, Rock suddenly enlarged the discussion, exacerbating the conflict.
Which made Yoshikawa Feng leave completely.
Did he do it intentionally or by accident?
Chen Wen thought.
But Rock looked innocent, seemingly unintentional.
Chen Wen chuckled, this survival is not simple!
The contestants aren’t even all here, and they are already playing mind gas?
But still, survival with challenge is fun!
Chen Wen didn’t say much.
As the banquet ended, everyone returned to their rooms with various thoughts.
...
In the following days, Chen Wen stayed in his room reviewing materials.
Occasionally going out, adapting to the environnt in the wilderness around the camp.
The program crew had Abel busy on his feet.
Welcoming contestants, conducting final site inspections, adjusting equipnt...
He was nearly personally involved in every matter.
Among the five remaining contestants, Ivan and Vanessa arrived first.
After they reached the camp, Yoshikawa Feng actively contacted them.
During dinner on the second night.
Chen Wen t the three at the dining place, sitting closely, seemingly discussing sothing.
Seeing Chen Wen approach, Yoshikawa Feng imdiately posed a provocative stance.
Ivan and Vanessa watched Chen Wen vigilantly.
Clearly, the three had tead up.
Chen Wen didn’t mind, only noted the Slavic survival group’s appearances.
Ivan was a very tall man, Vanessa relatively petite.
But they were both very strong individuals.
The third to arrive was South African female warrior Kaelian.
This nickna was given by Jiang Chang, because the day Kaelian arrived, she resembled Kratos from the God of War series.
A muscular figure paired with a strong physique left Jiang Chang astounded.
After Kaelian arrived at the camp, both Adam and Yoshikawa Feng interacted with her.
But the alliance Kaelian ultimately chose surprised Chen Wen.
She tead up with the sowhat obscure local guide Jamie.
According to Rock’s intel, Jamie seed to be an old acquaintance of Kaelian.
Thus, the two are natural allies.
The last to arrive was Feng Zhong.
His arrival marks the gathering of all contestants, and the shoot was about to start.
The day Feng Zhong arrived, Abel issued the command for an inaugural eting, causing quite a stir among the group.
Soon, the first eting formally comnced.
Abel first extended a welco to all contestants.
Then asked them to introduce themselves to familiarize with each other.
During the introductions, Chen Wen noted the seating arrangent among the contestants was quite interesting.
He was closest to Feng Zhong, with Adam and Rock beside him.
Farthest from him was Yoshikawa Feng, with Ivan and Vanessa on Yoshikawa Feng’s left, and Brad on the right.
In the corner were the black Jamie and the strong Kaelian, neither showed any inclination to ally with others.
"Two, two, four, two."
Taking advantage of the end of introductions, Chen Wen quietly said.
Feng Zhong was surprised for a mont, then slightly nodded.
Chen Wen was talking about the current situation.
"Quite favorable to us, since we can always team up with Adam and Rock, turning it into four-four-two."
Feng Zhong said.
But Chen Wen shook his head slightly: "Don’t fully trust Adam, this guy might be up to sothing."
Feng Zhong paused for a mont, then lightly nodded.
