The directors Wang and Li's faces lit up with excitement upon hearing this.
They praised the child for being so sensible, quickly agreed, and then the three of them happily ate instant noodles together.
By the time Qi Yu and Si Qing woke up, it was completely dark.
Directors Wang and Li, along with Chi Shangming, had spent hours playing cards, chatting, and playing games.
But because they had slept and played too much during the day, they weren't sleepy at all at night.
The three of them were incredibly bored.
Si Qing yawned and crawled out of the tent. He had slept for an entire day, wasn't hungry at all, and his spiritual power was full. So, he didn't know what to do.
Qi Yu was a little better. Ever since waking up, she had been curled up in the tent, playing on her phone with her legs crossed.
Not only was she not bored, but she was also getting furious because she couldn't pass a level in her game, wishing she could smash her phone. However, considering the effort it would take to repair it later, she could only grit her teeth and continue playing, occasionally clicking on ads.
Si Qing rubbed his eyes and looked around outside, finding no one. He then turned his gaze towards Qi Yu's tent. Seeing a light inside, he immediately knocked on the tent and, like a child, crawled in, "Sister, what are you doing? Why didn't you come out after waking up? Don't you know I'm playing games in the tent? It's so boring. If you can't pass, come out, come out."
Director Wang, hearing this from outside, couldn't help but burst into laughter and teased, "Si Qing, don't worry about her. When her phone runs out of battery, she'll naturally come out."
Yue Zhiyin had also just emerged from his tent. Hearing Director Wang say this, he couldn't help but take a sip of tea and sigh, shaking his head, "That's highly unlikely."
Qi Yu was not an ordinary human.
She had spiritual power.
Therefore, with the phone in Qi Yu's hands, unless Qi Yu herself willed it, it wouldn't run out of power under normal circumstances.
To put it bluntly, even if the phone were smashed to smithereens, Qi Yu could restore it to its original state with her spiritual power.
So, unless Qi Yu got tired of it, it would be difficult to take the phone away or make it run out of power.
Director Wang was unaware of this situation, so after his teasing, he continued to urge Si Qing to come out and eat, as he hadn't eaten all day.
Si Qing responded with a "good" and slowly walked out.
Outside the tent, Director Li was contemplating what to eat for dinner.
After all, they had instant noodles for breakfast and hadn't eaten much for lunch. Now, for dinner, they were waiting for everyone to eat together. If there were many people, instant noodles alone wouldn't be enough; they needed some meat to replenish their energy.
"Si Qing, go ask your sister if she prefers sausages or this vegetarian beef. I also brought some other ingredients that can replenish energy. If she likes them, we'll have them for dinner tonight," Director Wang said, taking out all the items.
He arranged them on the ground as if setting up a formation, carefully selecting them.
Si Qing walked over curiously and squatted down, "Although I haven't asked her yet, my sister should like beef. I don't know about the other things, but I don't understand why you're laying everything out like this. Isn't it all the same? Why not just eat it directly?"
If it's all the same, why bother choosing?
Upon hearing this, Director Wang, as if to prove a point, picked up two bags of meat and compared them, saying, "These two are vacuum-sealed soy sauce beef, so they're fine, but there are actually differences in size. I didn't buy them all the same size when I bought them. So, don't just distribute them evenly based on the time of day to ensure everyone gets enough food."
Si Qing nodded, somewhat understanding Director Wang's thinking.
In other words, to ensure everyone got an equal portion of meat each day, these meats, regardless of size, had to be sorted by weight.
However, because the meats in the packaging varied in size, they had to be selected.
After summarizing, Si Qing mentally gave it two words as his evaluation.
Those words were: idle.
Qi Yu yawned and walked out with her game console. Seeing Director Wang squatting on the ground, meticulously planning how to divide the meat evenly, she walked over, squinted, and asked, "Director Wang, what are you doing?"
Director Wang was stunned by the question at first, then impatiently waved his hand, signaling Qi Yu to ask Si Qing.
Si Qing explained to Qi Yu.
Qi Yu's expression shifted to one of sudden realization, and then she shook her head helplessly, "Really, Director Wang, you're too idle. What's the point of dividing meat when you have nothing else to do? Anyway, there are so many of us, just put one bag of each meat together. What's the big deal if someone eats a little more or a little less?"
Qi Yu's idea was unanimously approved.
Chi Shangming also felt that Director Wang was purely bored.
Director Li, who had been waiting impatiently beside them, saw Director Wang still there, meticulously studying the distribution of meat bag by bag, and couldn't help but urge, "Wang, can you hurry up? I'm starving."
What difference does it make if someone eats more or less?
Everyone thought so.
Of course, Feng Yunzui, Feng Sixian, Qi Yu, Si Qing, Yue Zhiyin, Sui You, Feng Mingqi, Chi Shangming, Wang Lanqing, including An Nuo and Shaofeng.
The reason they didn't care wasn't because they were in a hurry to eat, but because whether they ate or not was irrelevant to them.
Only Director Li was genuinely anxious because he was truly hungry.
Director Wang wasn't particularly hungry and wanted to continue distributing the meat as evenly as possible, but unfortunately, Director Li kept urging him, leaving him no time to continue. He could only casually select three bags and take them to be sliced and portioned out for everyone.
Qi Yu had been curious about what kind of meat was in those bags. It turned out to be the legendary instant braised beef.
It tasted quite good.
The flavor was good, and the expiration date written on it was three months.
Qi Yu was curious about how meat could be preserved for three months without spiritual power.
This meat tasted very different from beef jerky. It was clearly moist, yet it could be stored for so long without any peculiar smell.
Si Qing, while eating, pondered in his mind.
It would be great if this could be brought back to their world.
Qi Yu's thoughts were somewhat different.
She was contemplating how interesting it would be if a portal could be opened between this world and their own.
Qi Yu and Si Qing were thinking about similar things, and as they thought, their spiritual powers even resonated.
Since Directors Wang and Li were mere mortals, they couldn't hear the words exchanged between Qi Yu and Si Qing through spiritual power:
"Si Qing, I think we should bring things from this world back to ours. This world has many advantages that our world lacks."
In their world, ordinary humans couldn't preserve meat for long periods unless it was made into jerky, dried, roasted, or made into dried tofu.
However, this method consumed a lot of firewood.
After all, the firewood used by humans had to be gathered from the mountains, and the hardships involved were self-evident, not to mention the danger, as there were many wild animals on the slopes.
But in this world, humans lived very easily. Whatever they wanted to do or eat, even if they wanted to travel to a distant place, they could do so with ease.
The more Qi Yu thought about it, the more she felt it was a good idea. If these conveniences could be brought to her world, the people in her world would surely be able to thrive.
Si Qing agreed, "I also think we should bring these things back to our world. But many things are not as simple as saying them. For example, this vacuum packaging technology. To achieve this, our technology would need to be at least at a certain advanced level."
Their world couldn't possibly reach that standard; they didn't even have electricity.
"I don't think it's difficult," Qi Yu said, voicing her thought about opening a portal between this world and her own as a boundary.
Sui You, who had only been listening, immediately responded with spiritual power upon hearing Qi Yu, "The Phoenix clan has a Wutong King Tree that can survive at the boundary between the Yin and Yang realms. If we really want to open a passage between these two worlds, perhaps we can seek the help of the Wutong King Tree."
Feng Yunzui and the others also agreed.
Because their mouths couldn't make sounds when communicating with spiritual power, Qi Yu and Si Qing remained silent during this period, eating with their heads down and chatting through spiritual power.
Directors Wang and Li, unaware of what they were doing, only noticed that the atmosphere had suddenly become quiet, with no one speaking.
This made the two directors puzzled, wondering why everyone had suddenly fallen silent.
Director Wang looked at Si Qing with confusion, "Hey, why have you all suddenly stopped talking? Talk while you eat, talk! Are there any new topics to discuss? Why are you all so quiet? It's a bit eerie."
Director Li nodded, eating meat as he spoke, "Exactly, why aren't you talking? You're not eating fast either. You don't seem very hungry. Are you dissatisfied with today's food?"
Director Li was not surprised by this.
These young masters and ladies might be excited and not feel the hardship on the first day, but on the second, third day... after a long time, five weeks would surely be unbearable.
However, Director Li didn't know that they had no idea Director Li and Director Wang were waiting for them to chat. They had always assumed that Director Li and Director Wang had nothing to say, so they used spiritual power to discuss their own matters.
Now, seeing that both Director Wang and Director Li were asking them to chat, they stopped their spiritual communication and focused their attention entirely on Directors Wang and Li.
Sui You looked at Director Li, "There are two more days left, and this wilderness survival training should be over, right? Will we be participating in a real wilderness survival variety show then?"
As soon as they heard Sui You mention business, Directors Wang and Li's expressions immediately turned serious.
Director Li replied to Sui You, "You're right. The real wilderness survival variety show is in two days. I was worried if you could prepare yourselves mentally. Now, hearing you ask, you must have made your mental preparations?"
"Uh, you could say that," Sui You replied with a slightly awkward smile.
It was just a few more days by the seaside; it couldn't really be called survival.
But humans were different from them, and integrating into human society was still quite difficult.
Director Wang, however, didn't notice Sui You's thoughts at all. Upon hearing Sui You's words, he immediately launched into various rambling explanations.
More than half of the content was related to how to survive in the entertainment industry.
Sui You listened attentively.
Even though the information provided by Directors Wang and Li was completely useless to him.
But Directors Wang and Li were very happy.
Perhaps it was because they felt needed. They intended to reveal everything they knew to Qi Yu and Si Qing, hoping that these inside stories and knowledge of the entertainment industry would be helpful for their future development.
Qi Yu and Si Qing didn't plan to stay in this world's entertainment industry for too long.
But they still listened attentively.
After an unknown amount of time, perhaps because Directors Wang and Li themselves got tired of talking, their mouths became dry. They took a drink of water and changed the topic.
"By the way, after this wilderness survival variety show ends, our filming will officially conclude," Director Wang had been in this position for so many years and had seen all sorts of celebrities in the entertainment industry. This was the first time he had liked all the actors in an entire crew.
So, he couldn't help but talk a lot.
When they came to their senses, it was already close to midnight.
Director Wang yawned, rubbed his eyes, stood up, packed the remaining food, and instructed Qi Yu and Si Qing, "Let's go back to sleep. I need to get a good night's sleep tonight. We'll eat whenever we wake up tomorrow."
After speaking, Director Wang waved to the others and went into his tent to rest.
Director Li had initially intended to sit there for a while longer, but seeing Director Wang leave, he felt it was pointless to stay alone. He didn't have much in common with Qi Yu and Si Qing, so he also returned to his tent.
The atmosphere outside the tents suddenly became quiet.
Qi Yu yawned, "Hey, everyone, are we still going to the seabed?"
