Chapter 180: You’re Not My Match

Olivia initially wasn't interested in the show, but her excitement grew when she heard the winner could take home a gold bar. Her eyes sparkled with anticipation. These hundred gold bars were real! Wow, this production team must have a massive budget! She could almost feel the gold bars calling her name.

The program rules left some scratching their heads.

“Does that mean there are ready-built houses in the mountains?” Joycelyn asked.

The host shook his head. “Nope. We’ve prepared tents in various colors for you. Don’t worry, they’re not part of the essentials, and they’ve already been delivered to your locations.”

Joycelyn was at a loss for words.

Shawn chimed in, “So, if someone takes all the gold bars, does that guarantee a win?”

The host explained, “Each bar weighs 2.2 pounds, so taking all 100 means carrying 220 pounds. If anyone thinks they can haul that weight through mountains, they’re free to try.”

Shawn’s face fell, and the live stream chat went wild.

“Oh my, is the director evil? Making them camp in the wild for days?”

“Here’s the catch! You can take as much gold as you want, but you’ll also need supplies. It’s all about balance; who can handle this?”

“Wait, do they have to find their own food too?”

“Is this a variety show or a survival show? The production team is next-level!”

“Poor Joycelyn! My heart goes out to her.”

“If someone actually carries 220 pounds of gold, they’re my new hero!”

The setup left Joycelyn in disbelief. High heels and a dress are already torture in the sun, and now I have to survive in the wilderness for three days? Carrying gold and supplies? This isn’t a show, it’s hell!

Shawn and Louis, on the other hand, were more composed. Both had solid physiques; Shawn’s background in sports and Louis’s martial arts training gave them an edge. For them, three days in the mountains was manageable.

Still, the winning conditions posed a dilemma.

“If victory depends on the number of gold bars, someone could just win on the first day. But if we wait until the end… are we allowed to take gold from others?” Shawn asked cautiously.

The host nodded with a grin. “Absolutely, as long as you can find them.”

Shawn hesitated, glancing at Louis, whose martial arts skills were bound to make him a formidable opponent.

Meanwhile, Hudson showed little interest in the rules and walked over to Olivia. “I can carry extra gold bars for you and hand them over at the end.”

Olivia raised an eyebrow. “Have we met before?”

Hudson smiled. “I don’t think so.”

Relieved, Olivia thought, as long as my cover isn’t blown, I’m good. “No need. Just focus on yourself.”

Hudson looked puzzled. “Don’t you want to win? These rules don’t exactly favor women.”

Olivia replied calmly, “It’s not about wanting to win; I’m definitely going to win. You’re all no match for me.” 2.2 pounds per bar. Anyone who dares to challenge me better be ready to face the consequences.

Hudson was at a loss for words.

The interaction was caught on camera, and Hudson’s unusual attentiveness toward Olivia caused a stir in the live chat.

“Hudson is such a sweetheart! He’s so thoughtful!”
