Despite having prepared plenty of food, it was all devoured in the end. Even after finishing, Son Ye-jin and the others felt ashamed. But they knew in their hearts that, putting aside their genuine cravings, the dishes were all delicious.

Just for such a sumptuous meal, Son Ye-jin and the others felt that even if it took a whole day, it would be worth it. What moved and impressed Kim Byung-man the most was what Yuan Ling-han told them about several locations not far from their camp after the meal.

With a relatively precise location, Kim Byung-man and Ma Dong-hee can collect more food by following the directions given by Yuan Ling-han. With ample food, they can sustain themselves for longer.

What truly impressed Sun Yizhen and the others was that, as they finished eating and were preparing to leave, Yuan Linghan took three more pieces of wild boar meat from the smoking rack, which were not yet fully smoked. These three pieces of meat weighed at least ten kilograms in total.

Even if she gathers wild vegetables in the future, she can simply add a few pieces of smoked meat to the pot, and the wild vegetables will surely taste even better. Although she felt unworthy of the offer, Son Ye-jin accepted it in the end.

After all, she could tell that neither Yuan Linghan nor Liu Qianfei felt there was anything wrong with giving away meat or that they were reluctant to do so!

Taking the opportunity, Son Ye-jin mentioned that she wanted to come and use the bathroom to take a shower next time. Yuan Linghan smiled and said, "Ye-jin, you're probably familiar with the way here anyway, so just come over if you need to in the future."

"Captain Yuan, thank you so much!"

"Nominally, we are competitors. But in reality, this is a wilderness reality show. And I hope you can stick it out to the end. After all, it's really not easy for you to have persisted this far."

The simple phrase, "It really wasn't easy," almost brought Son Ye-jin to tears. If she could go back to before signing the contract, she definitely wouldn't have agreed to participate in this variety show. Because only after arriving did she realize how tough this island survival show truly was.

Although the show's producers paid a hefty appearance fee, and the show itself was very popular, as a top-tier actress, Son Ye-jin could easily earn the same amount as Douyin's appearance fees in three months if she wanted to.

Watching Son Ye-jin and the others leave, Yuan Linghan smiled and said, "Looks like our camp is going to be quite lively from now on!"

"Indeed! I heard Ma Dongxi say that if he hadn't felt so ashamed, he would have withdrawn from the challenge long ago."

Hearing what Wu Jing said, Yuan Linghan didn't laugh at all. Instead, he agreed and said, "Indeed! With their popularity, it should be relatively easy for them to earn the same amount of money if they participate in other variety shows."

To many netizens, desert island survival might seem like child's play. But once they experience it firsthand, they'll understand that the difficulty of desert island survival is far beyond imagination. Fortunately, we've already made it past the toughest initial stage!

"Yeah, if we really change the captain, we probably won't have a chance to last until the end!"

The group returned to the terrace and sat down again, resuming their daily chatter. Meanwhile, Son Ye-jin, carrying three pieces of semi-finished smoked meat and heading back to camp, asked Kim Byung-man what to do with the meat.

When asked for advice, Kim Byung-man quickly replied, "When we get back to camp, I'll set up a smoking rack and smoke these three pieces of meat several more times. Only by thoroughly smoking the meat can it be preserved for a longer period. I do have some experience with smoking meat!"

"That's good! With these three pieces of smoked meat, we can cook the wild vegetables we gather together with this meat, and I believe they will taste even better. Their generosity and magnanimity truly exceeded my expectations."

Faced with Son Ye-jin's sincere evaluation, Kim Byung-man nodded and said, "Indeed! Compared to his abilities, Captain Yuan's character is even more trustworthy. No wonder those top Chinese celebrities in the team all respect him."

The subtext of these words is, of course, a veiled attack on the former captain who was dismissed and expelled by their combined forces!

Taking advantage of the opportunity to chat back at camp, Lim Yoona also said, "Unnie, when are you planning to come over to take a shower? Could you bring me and Ji-eun along? We also want to take a good shower!"

When asked, Son Ye-jin quickly replied, "We'll come together, but it would be best to come in the afternoon. However, it will take about two hours to go back and forth. Aren't you afraid of the fatigue?"

"I'm not afraid! As long as I can take a good shower, it's all worth it, no matter how hard it is."

Hearing Yoona's firm statement, it's clear that not being able to take a proper shower is indeed their biggest worry. As girls who love beauty and cleanliness, not showering for so long really makes them feel uncomfortable.

But to the surprise of all the participants, it wasn't just these three women who were driven to madness as well.

Just as Son Ye-jin was planning to visit again the next day, they received a notification from the production team that the three actresses from Japan had ultimately chosen to withdraw. Although the reason was unclear, they could all understand and even envy them.

It's understandable that this kind of desert island reality show is quite uncomfortable for the female guests. What they envy is that the three female guests made the difficult decision to withdraw, and were finally free from the torment. After all, this kind of show is definitely not very friendly to female participants.

Although Japanese netizens were dissatisfied, the vast majority expressed their support. The reason is simple: Japanese netizens could see that the three male team members were intentionally isolating the three female team members.

Netizens initially thought that it would be quite remarkable for the three female team members to persist for half a month. Unexpectedly, they persisted until the fourth week, which exceeded many netizens' expectations.

Secondly, many netizens felt that the three male players were also partly to blame for the three female players' collective withdrawal from the competition. Compared to male players from other teams, who generally offered assistance to their female teammates, the three male players from Japan were quite arrogant.

To be precise, they all believed in male chauvinism and were unable to give the three female team members the respect they deserved!

Considering the rules previously announced by the program team, many netizens from Japan believe that isolating the three female team members might be a conspiracy by the three male team members. The reason is simple: to share the prize money from the three women.

One million Xia Guo currency per person is a considerable sum for the three male team members!

Currently, only the teams from Xia and Siam remain intact. The Sakura team, which previously had a chance to win the championship, has now fallen to last place. The reason is simple: they are missing three members.

If points are deducted, their score is even lower than that of Son Ye-jin and others who dismissed the expulsion team leader!

However, netizens are well aware that, given the current situation, Siam's chances of winning against Xia's team in the championship are slim. After all, viewers can clearly see which team currently holds the biggest advantage through the live stream.

In fact, the withdrawal of the three female members from the Sakura team did not affect the show's popularity. On the contrary, the collective withdrawal of the three women led to the three male captains from Sakura being heavily criticized by netizens from the other three countries.

Even within Japan, fans of the three female players and neutral netizens alike are criticizing the male captain. These netizens believe the three male team members completely lack a sense of team spirit. After all, they were representing Japan in the challenge online!

The competition is not even a third of the way through, yet they've already started fighting amongst themselves. What seems like just participating in a desert island reality show has actually made Japan lose face in front of netizens from the other three countries.

This embarrassing performance, which brought shame upon the country internationally, infuriated Japanese netizens who consistently supported their national team, prompting them to launch online attacks against the three male captains. Unfortunately, the three male team members were completely oblivious to their criticisms and condemnations!
