By linking my account to the check-in system, I became a leisurely traveler.

Chapter 181 Too Arrogant! [Second Update!]

Although she had already decided to participate, Li Younan hesitated for a moment when she clicked to register...

The idea is nice, but is it really true that you can participate just by signing up? After all, he had always believed that these kinds of shows were just gimmicks and that the contestants were probably already decided beforehand.

But after a moment, Li Younan still filled in his relevant information.

They then asked me to upload an introductory video.

Li Younan thought for a moment and decided not to film directly. He sent a message to Liu Li. Although Liu Li had met him in person and knew that he was a girl, Li Younan still casually called her Brother Long: "Brother Long, I want to sign up for the wilderness solo living competition and I need a personal introduction video. Could you help me edit one using some old footage?"

A moment later, Liu Li asked, somewhat puzzled, "Oh, why did you suddenly decide to participate in this program?"

Li Younan casually made up a story: "With this prize money, you can buy a Unimog. The prize money is 100 million US dollars."

Li Younan just made up a reason, but Liu Li was deeply surprised after seeing the message.

She had thought that Li Younan was just saying it casually when he mentioned going on a motorhome trip to 318, but she didn't expect that he actually intended to do so. For a moment, she felt both happy and ashamed.

She was happy because, after her brother reminded her, she did some serious research on the Unimog motorhome, and after learning more about this big vehicle, she immediately fell in love with it.

The first impression of the Unimog is that it is big, very big. It is not an ordinary off-road vehicle, but a truck-like off-road vehicle with super large tires and a large interior space.

She saw several examples of modified RVs, where the small RVs were like mobile fortresses, the kind that would make you feel safe even in the apocalypse. She felt that such a space must be very reassuring.

If Li Younan were to travel on the 318 highway in his Unimog, perhaps... he could take him along?
Of course, this was just a fleeting, wishful thought.

She knew she would definitely become a burden to him, would definitely make things difficult for Li Younan, and her brother would not agree either, so she only thought about it.

But even just being a spectator is quite nice.

The reason for my shame is... I can't help Li Younan, the car is too expensive.

But she didn't realize... why her brother was helping Li Younan.

When Li Younan made the request, Liu Li immediately sprang into action, saying, "Okay, I'll definitely give you a profile full of gimmicks."

With Liu Li's help, Li Younan was no longer needed to worry about this matter.

Thinking about it carefully, Liu Li really saved him a lot of trouble. Suddenly, Li Younan felt a strange sense of gratitude, so he typed a message and sent it to Liu Li: "Thank you, Brother Long."

Liu Li was taken aback for a moment, and a warmth inexplicably warmed her heart, but she scoffed, "What are you talking about? Aren't we in a business relationship? But if you really feel bad about it, how about you promise me something in the future?"

Li Younan said, "Hmm, that's a very reasonable request. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Liu Li said, "I haven't decided yet. I'll let you know if you win the championship. Oh, don't worry, I won't covet your prize money."

Li Younan wasn't worried that Brother Long would take his bonus. After all, for a long time, he had begged Brother Long to give him a larger share, but Brother Long refused.

After finalizing the matter, Li Younan had other plans for the next period of time. He was going to Inner Mongolia to see his foal, and if he had time, he could also take the opportunity to see what the Naadam festival was all about.

In terms of time, he has two weeks to do this.

……

However, what Li Younan didn't know was that this video was not as easy to edit as the previous travel videos. This was a video involving overall creative design, which required a certain level of design thinking.

Liu Li is proficient in editing because her brother wanted to start an advertising company, so she spent a long time studying this field so that she could help him when he needed her in the future and not be a useless person hiding in a cave forever.

She struggled with this video all day, coming up with several versions, but she wasn't satisfied with any of them.

When Liu Yu returned, Liu Li still had some regrets and asked him for help.

After listening to Liu Li's account, Liu Yu was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Li Younan, who had told him that he wouldn't participate, would sign up so quickly.

For a moment, I even felt a little excited.

When he asked Lee You-nan if he had any ideas about participating in the wilderness solo living program, it was actually because he was somewhat looking forward to Lee You-nan's participation.

There are two starting points.

His first motivation was quite simple: he was also a fan of the show.

As a well-known "speed bump for men", most men will subconsciously pause when they see the video of a solo wilderness show, and at the same time imagine what it would be like to have such awesome skills, participate in the show, and dominate the field.
Unlike others, Liu Yu understood Li Younan. His understanding of Li Younan came from the large amount of raw video footage that Li Younan had sent him, some of which showcased abilities that hadn't been edited into the videos he posted. Although he never expressed it aloud, he actually felt that Li Younan was incredibly terrifying, and the more he learned about him, the deeper his understanding of this became.

From his initial parkour flips to the various physical abilities he displayed later, and after the last fishing trip, he realized that Li Younan was simply born for the wilderness.

The American hunting bows used in the program were only around 50 pounds, but Li Younan could easily use American hunting bows weighing 70 or 80 pounds. Although he had no hunting experience, this alone was enough for him to stand out from the crowd.

Ordinary people have no concept of the weight of an arrow. To put it simply, with a specially made arrowhead, 30 pounds is enough to kill a bear.

Sometimes, Liu Yu would even fantasize about being Li Younan and participating in the show; just thinking about it made her feel great.

Besides, the second starting point seems less pure.

Li Younan and he have a business relationship. Although their interactions are now mainly maintained through the sisterly bond, he actually handles most of Li Younan's business affairs.

To be honest, he knew very well that Li Younan's commercial value was far more than what was currently apparent.

One reason is naturally that Li Younan himself doesn't want to be too greedy; another reason is that although his current number of fans has reached 400 million, this level has not reached the true top level, which is tens of millions of fans.

Once you reach that level, your income will increase exponentially. At that point, whether you want to be yourself or become a force to be reckoned with, it will be easy for you to achieve your goals.

Deep down, he had this expectation for Li Younan. The core reason was something he himself couldn't quite explain, and it might be a little dishonorable... but the starting point was still his sister.

However, I cannot and dare not think about this matter too deeply...

In short, he hoped that Li Younan could gain greater influence from all aspects.

The current trend of solo wilderness living shows presents such a great opportunity.

With that in mind, he decided to take a strong stance and intervene in the matter.

After looking at the rough, unfinished product his sister had made, he shook his head and said, "This won't do. Leave this to me; I'll have our company's team do it."

He glanced at his sister and said, "It's not that what you did was bad, but this time we need to think about it with a business mindset."

……

A few days later, Li Younan saw the final video, and to be honest, he was quite astonished.

The video was exceptionally well-produced, giving it a biographical feel, and edited together several of his most striking moments.

The video begins with footage of Li Younan hitting the bullseye with several arrows.

Then comes a cinematic transition, with a black screen and the caption: Sharpshooter.

The next shot is a long take of the harsh environment at the summit of Mount Gongga, filmed by a drone. The scene then cuts to him reaching the top, with a black screen and the caption: "Brave climber."

Next, a fish breaks out of the lake, and then the camera cuts to Li Younan picking up a fish basket that is already full of fish. The caption reads: "Top-notch angler."

What followed was a montage of shots, including skiing, parkour, wood carving, and so on.

After all those shots were finished, there was a leisurely video. It was filmed by Li Younan while he was camping at the foot of Mount Gongga. He was holding a small pot and cooking wild vegetables. He said to the camera, "Brothers, to be honest, living like this in the wild is quite pleasant."

Next, the screen shifts again, and the black screen reveals the core gimmick of the video: "For others, it's a harsh wilderness survival, but for me, it's just a longer outdoor trip."

"Wilderness, living alone, so what?"

Liu Yu was very satisfied with her video, but Li Younan had mixed feelings when she saw it.

Well... that's too arrogant.

Although the things expressed in this video are similar to his actual situation, it is, after all, a very hardcore outdoor reality show.

Li Younan knew very well that once the video was released, it would definitely cause a lot of discussion, with criticism being the majority.

The most important point is... this is simply too disrespectful to nature.

However, thinking about it, this does seem to be a good way to attract the attention of the production team. If the production team really doesn't have a pre-selected contestant, this confident attitude might indeed make the production team pay more attention to him.

As expected, his video caused a huge uproar after it was released.
