On the live broadcast screen, twenty transparent elliptical aircraft were rapidly descending and continuously accelerating. Soon, these twenty elliptical aircraft turned into twenty blazing fireballs. In no time, the orange flames turned blue… 

All these changes occurred within a few tens of seconds. The broadcasting equipment, wherever it was set up, captured all these changes and transmitted the information excellently, presenting it on the screens of viewers across the universe.

The Foreign Minister stared at the aircraft already engulfed in dazzling blue flames, feeling somewhat worried. Wouldn’t Su Ge inside be burnt? 

Of course, he knew that a program like “Wilderness Livestream” would never have any safety issues at such times, but he still felt a bit nervous. 

After all, in terms of physical fitness, humans were not particularly outstanding among the species in the universe. No, it should be said that human physical fitness was quite poor, even ranking at the bottom, especially compared to those species whose bodies could serve as armor. Humans seemed quite inferior in comparison. 

Meanwhile, a voiceover came from the broadcast screen, “The small planet composed mainly of green that everyone sees ahead is the destination for all participants this time—Wild Star 756 in the Alpha Star Cluster 289756, abbreviated as Star 756. Let’s look forward to their performance together!” 

Milky Way Galaxy 

Rong Lan, the third brother of Rong Shi, stared intently at the small planet. “Why is this planet green? Is there some special weather?” 

“It shouldn’t be harmful. ‘The Wilderness Live Stream’ should have control over safety,” said by Rong Ming, the second brother of Rong Shi, although he seemed quite worried. 

Their biological parents, however, were already yawning and preparing to return to their palace. “We’re going to sleep. You guys can watch as you like.” 

Watch as you like… 

Compared to their carefree biological parents, the public was more concerned. “Oh my, why is it a green planet? It looks like the air quality is very bad!” 

“Yeah, I wonder if it will cause harm to our Major General!” 

… 

Morning Planet. 

“Wow, a green planet, it looks so charming!” 

Planet XXX. 

“A green planet… how can there still be green planets? Aren’t they usually red or yellow? Oh my, what if there are some hostile races waiting down there?” 

… 

While the citizens of the twenty participating planets were mainly concerned about the safety of their contestants, the viewers from other planets focused more on this unknown wilderness planet. After all, green planets were extremely rare in the universe and felt very strange. 

Interstellar Alliance Announcement Hall. 

Although technology was highly advanced in the Interstellar Alliance, some jobs still relied more on manual labor. For example, in the current large workspace of “Wilderness Live Room,” employees at various positions were busy with their tasks. As the chief director of this program, the director stared at the largest screen in front of him and the other twenty smaller screens. 

“What are the ratings of the program so far?” 

“Director, it’s already exceeded twenty, three points higher than our best record in previous years.” 

“Which split screen has the highest ratings?” 

“It’s the Milky Way Galaxy, it’s close to fifty.” 

Indeed, such results didn’t need to be asked. Wherever the Milky Way Galaxy was involved, it was always the center of attention. 

The chief director leaned back comfortably in his chair, squinting as he watched the twenty blue fireballs on the big screen rapidly descending towards Wild Star 756. Indeed, with Rong Shi as their trump card, what need was there to worry about ratings? 

Although she couldn’t feel how fast the spacecraft was in this corner, as Su Ge watched her spacecraft being enveloped by blue flames from the outside, she instinctively closed her eyes. Mentally, she recited all the gods and deities from every corner of the sky, but before she could finish, she heard the rounded but emotionless voice inside the spacecraft: “Approaching destination, activating shock absorption system.” 

As this mechanical voice sounded, Su Ge also heard the countdown starting inside her spacecraft. It echoed in her ears like an alarm, instantly tensing her already somewhat nervous emotions. However, just as she continued to pray to all the gods, she felt her spacecraft slam into something as if it were going to self-destruct… 

As the spacecraft landed, the temperature was too high, triggering the automatic cooling system. Now the entire spacecraft was rapidly cooling down, emitting a large amount of water vapor, creating a scene akin to misty clouds and fog, like a fairyland. It was at this moment that Su Ge kicked open the spacecraft’s door and crawled out, using all of her four limbs. 

Coughing violently as she crawled out, Su Ge couldn’t help but feel extremely miserable. She had never felt so disheveled before. The entire landing process made her feel like she had been in a horrific car accident at high speed. 

Suddenly, a massive and piercing noise, like the exhaust of a jet plane, rang out near Su Ge. Accompanied by the noise was a dense fog that filled the air, and within this fog, there was a glaring golden light flashing. From afar, it appeared as though a bodhisattva or an enlightened being from some distant mountain had descended, or perhaps a celestial being emerging victorious from a trial. 

Su Ge was stunned by the spectacle before her. She felt as if she had stumbled onto the wrong set. She even forgot how to cough. At that moment, she noticed a figure emerging from the blinding golden light. 

Tall and slender with radiant skin emitting a faint glow, and silver hair. 

Who else could it be but Rong Shi? He stepped out gracefully from the misty golden light, and in just a few steps, he keenly observed something and immediately turned his head in Su Ge’s direction. 

What Rong Shi saw was an unimaginable scene: the Earthling was crawling on all fours on the ground, not far behind her was her spacecraft, shrouded in white smoke due to rapid cooling. Her hair was messy, her clothes wrinkled, and she appeared quite disheveled. 

At this moment, as their gazes met, both were momentarily stunned. 

After discreetly sizing each other up, Rong Shi approached the Earthling cautiously, his demeanor indicating a high level of alertness. “Looking for something?” 

Perhaps the previous scene was too extraordinary and it dazzled Su Ge’s eyes, or perhaps Rong Shi’s strong presence was overwhelming. In any case, Su Ge hadn’t fully recovered from the pervasive and choking fog when she heard his question. 

However, her body reacted much faster than her brain. As soon as Rong Shi finished speaking, she instinctively shook her head. 

Rong Shi raised an eyebrow nonchalantly. Alright, she understands the common language in Galactic Alliance. Seems like Earth isn’t as backward as I imagined. His gaze once again fell on the spacecraft behind Su Ge. 

The universe was currently very peaceful. Although Rong Shi had never been in combat despite his military service, he was quite familiar with various mechanical devices. The door of the spacecraft in front of him was clearly not opened by herself but violently forced from the inside. Although the damage was very cleverly done and would be hard for ordinary people to detect, it couldn’t escape Rong Shi’s notice. 

Without a doubt, the Earthling before him had done this. 

Su Ge looked at Rong Shi standing less than a meter away from her. He looked clean and tidy from head to toe, even his hair perfectly in place, carrying a military-green supply pack on his back. He appeared relaxed and cheerful as if going for a walk, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. Even without a mirror, she knew she looked nothing like him—far from neat and tidy. It was so embarrassing to be seen by an alien like this; the face of Earthlings! 

Adding insult to injury, the expression “adding frost to snow, adding fuel to fire” couldn’t be more fitting. It meant there’s no end to embarrassment, only more embarrassment; there’s no worst, only worse. 

Just as Su Ge was about to pretend to be calm and prop herself up as her body threatened to collapse, she heard him speak again, “There’s a blue button on the top of the spacecraft, it’s the internal landing system. Activating it ensures a smooth landing…” He paused, his slender, pristine fingers subconsciously tapping the back of his other hand, seemingly contemplating something. 

Two seconds later, he said, “It will also automatically open the door.” 

Rong Shi’s voice was extremely pleasant and distinctive, like the wind rustling through willow branches, the green ribbons swaying elegantly, or like the clear stream flowing through a bamboo forest, murmuring softly. Unfortunately, at this moment, such a voice fell into Su Ge’s ears like a bolt from the blue. 

Maintaining the posture she just stood up in, Su Ge felt like she had been struck by lightning. 

What blue button? How did she not see it? No, she did see it. At first, she didn’t dare to press it, afraid of breaking it. Such things looked expensive, and if Earth didn’t compensate her, she wouldn’t have the money to pay for it!! By the time she wanted to press it later, the spacecraft was shaking too violently, and she couldn’t reach it!! 

And he knew! He knew she used a knife to pry open the door! Oh my god, will the organizers make her compensate for the spacecraft!! That thing looks really expensive!! 

Okay, she admitted it, she just couldn’t operate such advanced high-tech stuff! What should she do! It feels so embarrassing! She’s not good at mechanics, and she doesn’t know how to fly a spacecraft. It’s like trying to hide the fact that she failed a class, only to accidentally let the whole neighborhood know! (Gopher squeals) 

It’s so embarrassing! 

This is embarrassing even in outer space!!
