Zhao Lang said "thank you," but his eyes reluctantly glanced at Jiang Li.
The other party still had no reaction.
He simply wiped himself down and wrapped himself in a blanket before standing up.
"Thank you all for saving me, I owe you a favor. After we leave the island, if there’s anything you need, just ask, and if it’s within my power, I will definitely help you achieve it."
Jiang Yan scoffed disdainfully, "Who wants your favor? Your salary probably couldn’t even buy my shoes."
"Oh, I do have a wish, can you make my hair grow back now?"
He glanced at Jiang Yan’s bald head and fell silent for a moment.
"That’s probably not possible."
"Then don’t brag. Go back where you came from."
But the audience in the live broadcast room disagreed.
[Ahhh, young master, do you know whom you just rejected?!]
[I’m really done here; that’s the grandson of the richest man, the future heir of the Gu Family, and this island is theirs, please have some vision!]
[I’m so mad ahhh a billionaire was in front of you and you couldn’t recognize him, young master that’s just sad!]
[Whimper, whimper, why doesn’t this kind of good fortune ever come my way, whimper, whimper.]
Bai Lu chided Jiang Yan with dissatisfaction.
"Jiang Yan, tone it down a bit, the guy just came back from the ghost gate."
"What, I was the one who saved his life, can’t I even speak now? I got my pants completely wet while saving him, and I’m freezing."
Jiang Yan vented all his frustration about losing his hair on this stranger.
Anyway, the guy looked like he could take a couple of hits, a few words wouldn’t hurt him.
Bai Lu couldn’t argue with Jiang Yan, so she could only look helplessly towards Jiang Li.
Now, the rest of the group all turned to her, waiting for her to command.
Jiang Li’s gaze finally landed on Zhao Lang again, and she said indifferently, "You’re alright now, aren’t you?"
Zhao Lang almost burst into tears.
My God, she finally noticed him and cared about him!
He shook his head shyly, "I guess I’m alright now."
"That’s good, I’ll contact the show crew now to send you back."
Isn’t the plot supposed to go differently?
Shouldn’t she warm up to him and then keep him around?!
Isn’t that how Bai Lu and the others stayed?
[Something’s off, wasn’t the Crown Prince here for Jiang Yan? Why do they act like strangers?]
[Right? I noticed that too, could it be... the Crown Prince really has unrequited love?! Although our young master isn’t a big star, he did gain some popularity, it’s not impossible for the Crown Prince to fall for his looks.]
[Exactly, I noticed Gu Yu kept sneaking glances at our young master just now!]
[Ahhhh the richest man secretly in love with a dark horse celebrity, this ship is too delicious!]
Zhao Lang was confused but quickly realized what was happening and grabbed Jiang Li’s sleeve.
This was also the first time he had touched her after being apart for so long.
Unable to suppress his emotions, Zhao Lang’s eyes reddened again, making him look somewhat pitiful.
"Don’t, don’t send me away, the show crew will either eliminate me or throw me back, those people are like hungry wolves, I’ll be eliminated if I go back."
Jiang Yan: Heh, this guy really wants to stay for the prize money, what a broke loser!
Jiang Cheng: Damn, how is this guy even more dramatic than me?!
However, Jiang Li’s expression was as cold as if she had been butchering fish at the supermarket for ten years.
"I am notifying you, not discussing it with you."
"Ah, Lili, how can you be so stubborn!"
"Richest Man: Okay, I’m worthless now."
Zhao Lang was clearly getting anxious.
At this rate, Jiang Li might actually send him away.
Wouldn’t all his previous suffering be in vain then?
"Uh, I have points," Zhao Lang said. "Isn’t it that adding a person to the team now requires two thousand points? I have them. You don’t need to pay; I can pay myself."
"The Crown Prince probably never imagined he’d have such a humble day."
Jiang Li remained expressionless, "We don’t need any more team members, your points are useless."
With that, she opened her watch and pressed the director hotline.
Just as the call was about to connect, Zhao Lang next to her sighed deeply.
"Alright, it seems that even having over ten thousand points is useless on this island. I am indeed too weak."
Jiang Li’s hand faltered.
The others were also stunned.
Zhao Lang blinked blankly, "Ov, over ten thousand? I don’t even know how it got to be that much."
Everyone except Jiang Li was shocked.
Shang Shuyue immediately opened the leaderboard on her watch.
"That’s not right, currently only two people have over ten thousand individual points, one is Ji Yanbai and the other is Gu Yu. Ji Yanbai is ambitious; he definitely wouldn’t let someone off easily. So, are you Gu Yu?!"
Hearing this name, Yu Li frowned next to her and muttered quietly.
"Gu Yu? That name sounds familiar..."
Why did he remember that the direct grandson of Uncle Gu’s family was named Gu Yu?
Impossible, if it were really someone from the Gu Family, why would he be here?
Moreover, Uncle Gu was very conservative. He would not allow his grandson to have such unrestrained hair.
Sadly, although he visited the Gu family often, he never had the chance to meet the legendary Gu Yu.
Zhao Lang nodded, "Yes, I am Gu Yu. I just got lucky and scored a big windfall."
Meanwhile, Jiang Li’s call connected, and He Pingzhang’s voice came through—
"Miss Jiang? What can I do for you?"
"Nothing, sorry to bother you."
With a "click," she hung up the phone.
He stared at the two people on the screen before him and fell silent.
He had also become a part of the play.
"You have ten thousand points?"
Jiang Li’s expression finally wasn’t so cold anymore.
Zhao Lang also realized this and nodded like a pecking chicken.
"Yeah, yeah, I can give all these points to you. If it weren’t for you, I would have lost my life here. I just want you to let me stay with you."
Jiang Li thought for only three seconds.
"You can stay, but we don’t need any more team members. Until we get ashore, you can stay on the raft. We don’t need your points, because if there are changes to our points, people onshore will definitely get suspicious. You’ll just be at my disposal."
The other five people all opened their mouths wide.
In their eyes, Jiang Li was making an unreasonable demand.
After all, she was quite friendly to everyone else.
Even Jiang Yan was somewhat incredulous.
He thought his attitude towards this poor guy was already over the top, but Jiang Li’s attitude was even more so.
