The upgraded hunter had reached a whole new level.
If he could upgrade his hunter status to master, he felt that not only could he survive for thirty days, but even if he were dropped into the no man's land for three hundred days, he'd still emerge with a unique flair.
After dinner, he washed up and prepared to rest.
He needed a good night's sleep because he had decided to leave tomorrow.
Since the program announced yesterday that Lewis had completed a wish, eleven participants had been eliminated, and Sky Group had quickly selected eleven new challengers on the same day.
However, all of this was irrelevant to Lewis.
Early the next morning.
After breakfast, Lewis told his parents about his decision to continue the challenge.
His mom and grandmother were visibly reluctant, giving him words of advice. Although they were worried, they didn't try to persuade him to give up.
His dad drove him to the airport in the city. Before they parted, his dad tidied up his clothes and said somewhat redundantly, "Be careful, alright? If you can't make it, don't push yourself. Your mom and I will go look for a place for the restaurant these few days. The business will definitely be good."
"Yeah, I know," Lewis listened patiently and finally bid farewell before entering the gate.
Instead of heading to the metropolis, he boarded a plane directly to Danger Area.
During the waiting time, he took out his phone and scrolled through Twitter.
He had fallen off the trending list, and his popularity growth was slower than the previous days.
However, the heat of "The Bucket List" remained high, with related news trending almost every day.
He saw that seven more people had been eliminated yesterday.
The elimination rate was getting faster.
It had been over ten days since the first batch of challengers started.
Lewis was quite surprised. After all, they only had an initial thousand USD, yet they had managed to survive until now. It was indeed not easy.
He opened the program's live stream and found that the online audience was unusually high today.
At this time of day, the program usually had around five million viewers online.
Today, there were over seven million.
Reading the chat messages, he realized it was Saturday.
After watching for a while, Lewis dialed the program's number.
...
"Ring, ring."
Ash was in the middle of commentating when the phone rang suddenly in front of him.
He hesitated for a moment, while Rose next to him reacted quickly, "Could it be Lewis calling?"
Zoe said, "It shouldn't be. He's only rested for two days."
Blake said, "Last time, he didn't even rest for a day."
"Oh no, could it really be Lewis?"
"Wow, he's strong. He's continuing the challenge after just two days of rest?"
"On the bright side, he might be calling to inform the program that he's quitting."
"Let's answer it and find out." Ash clicked on the speakerphone, "Hello, this is 'The Bucket List'. I'm the host, Ash."
"Hello Ash, this is Lewis."
Lewis' voice echoed, and the already dense chat messages exploded instantly, covering the entire live stream without any dead spots.
"Damn! It's really Lewis!"
"My Lewis is unbeatable!"
[Duck King]: Without Lewis, I've been lost. Lewis, you don't know how I've been these days!
"Duck King, I suggest you shut up."
Ash said, "You're calling. Does that mean..."
"Yeah, I've decided on the next wish I want to challenge."
"Which one?"
"The fifth one."
"Let me see."
The staff had already brought over The Bucket List. Ash found the fifth wish and read it out loud, "Cross the no man's land on foot for no less than 30 days."
Upon hearing this wish, Zoe said, "Lewis, are you sure? This wish is dangerous. Only one challenger has chosen it so far."
Blake said, "None of the wishes are easy. Since you've chosen this one, Lewis, you must have some confidence, right?"
Lewis nodded, "Yeah, currently, I feel most confident about this wish."
Ash said, "Please confirm. Once selected, it cannot be changed."
"Confirmed."
"Alright." Ash said, "Then please provide your location. The program will arrange a cameraman to meet you there."
"Danger Area."
Ash was stunned, "Danger Area?"
"Yes." Lewis said, "The route I've chosen is the same as Mia's."
"Okay, got it." Ash said, "The cameraman will head to Danger Area immediately. When you meet the cameraman, the challenge will officially begin."
"Alright." Lewis hung up the phone.
"Why didn't Lewis rest for a longer time?" Zoe couldn't understand, "Is he worried that another challenger will complete the wish before him?"
"No, definitely not." James shook his head, "This wish has a restriction. You must stay in the no man's land for 30 days. That means anyone who starts the challenge before him has the chance to finish before him. So no matter when he starts, if the other person persists, they will definitely finish before him."
Ash looked at Reg, "Do you think he has a chance?"
Reg said, "I'm not very knowledgeable about outdoors activities. Based on objective analysis, his physical fitness is strong, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage."
"The advantage is that he has more energy to deal with many unexpected situations."
"The disadvantage is that the more energy he consumes, the more food and energy he needs to intake."
"The food that can be bought with a thousand USD is not enough to support him for thirty days."
"So, he has to find food in the no man's land. That's the biggest difficulty of this wish."
Although Reg wasn't a professional in this field, his analysis was quite reasonable.
Ash said, "The program has just contacted an outdoor expert. This expert will arrive at our studio this afternoon."
"Wow, is the program now specially hiring relevant professionals for Lewis?"
"Lewis is really amazing. He's forcing the program to give him special attention all by himself."
[Duck King]: My Lewis deserves this treatment.
"Honestly, I'm only watching this program because of Lewis."
"If Lewis gets eliminated in the future, I don't know what else I'll watch this program for."
"Elimination is inevitable. It's just a matter of how long Lewis can last."
...
The news that Lewis, after resting for a few days, had chosen another wish spread across the internet like a hurricane.
"Crossing Danger Area on foot for thirty days? That's too harsh."
"What's harsh about it? Before him, someone else had already chosen this wish, also in Danger Area, and she's a woman, a beautiful woman!"
"Key point: beautiful woman!"
"Isn't Lewis going there because of the beautiful woman? I remember that beauty met Lewis in private."
"I feel like the possibility of completing this wish is very low, almost zero."
"Not just low, it's impossible."
"Why impossible? With Lewis, nothing is impossible!"
"Heh, young man, read more books. First, understand what a no man's land is, and then see how vast Danger Area are. Even if fully armed, one person cannot cross Danger Area independently."
At this moment, Lewis had already boarded the plane and taken off.
He looked at his rapidly increasing popularity and showed a satisfied smile.
