After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved novel Chapter 438

Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Now Even Animals Can Be Conquered

This afternoon, Li Muchen was backstage with the crew of the show at Qingmang Tower.

Even after hearing the staff’s explanation that Lu Sheng and the others were just sleeping in game pods and wouldn’t actually face any danger,

the moment Li Muchen saw Lu Sheng wake up on the plane screen, his heart couldn’t help but leap, and he couldn’t relax at all.

Being told that the experiences within the game felt no different from real life, how could he not worry?

If the sensations were so realistic, it meant Shengsheng would actually feel cold on the island, actually go hungry, actually sleep exposed on the desolate island without proper food or rest.

Especially when he saw the five of them barely got any useful items in their combined packages.

They didn’t even have a tent to sleep in, and the food could only last two or three days. His fists clenched tightly.

Though Li Muchen knew that his Shengsheng was strong—always the most outstanding, dazzling one among everyone, always able to calmly face any predicament,

he just couldn’t stay calm himself.

And most importantly:

This was inside a game, not the real world. Didn’t that mean Shengsheng wouldn’t be able to use her Soul Power on that barren island?

No matter how capable she was, on that island she was still just an ordinary human girl physically. What if something unexpected and dangerous happened?

Li Muchen couldn’t simply sit back and watch from the screen as the person he cherished most endured hunger and cold, constantly at risk on a deserted island.

He had to join her.

Lu Sheng was the treasure Li Muchen held in his hands, and also the beloved precious one of Jiang Ting and her brothers from the Lu Family.

As expected, it didn’t take long before Lu Jingyan called on behalf of the Lu Family, asking him how things had come to this and if Shengsheng would be alright.

Li Muchen spoke directly on the phone, "Big Brother, don’t worry. I’ll go to the island to accompany Shengsheng."

The staff nearby were completely dumbfounded.

Li Muchen hung up the call, his expression dark, and coldly said to the person in charge, "Did you hear what I just said? I’m entering this game too."

"And prepare everything I’ll need to survive on this deserted island for ten days, along with enough food. I’m taking them in with me."

"If that can’t be arranged, I’ll withdraw all the funding I’ve invested. And your show’s behavior will face a lawsuit in court."

If anyone else had said this, the production team would undoubtedly ignore it, or perhaps even toss them out the door.

But this was their main investor who had thrown in twenty million.

Who would dare treat Li Muchen’s words as just hot air?

The person in charge looked troubled and said, "But President Li... you’ve heard the rules of the game earlier. It’s already been established that only those children will be on the island."

"If you go in, how would we assign you a role? And the kids might realize they’re not really in the real world, which would ruin the game’s purpose."

Li Muchen’s eyes grew colder, and his tone was frighteningly icy. "So, are you saying it’s not possible?"

"No, no, I’m not saying that... What I meant was, could you maybe enter the game as another identity, like as an animal or something?" the person in charge suggested.

"That way, you could stay by your wife’s side and also bring her supplies. Plus, appearing as an animal on the island wouldn’t seem off, so it wouldn’t disrupt the game flow."

...An animal?

Li Muchen took a deep breath.

That wasn’t completely out of the question. On a deserted island, becoming a fierce animal might even allow him to protect Shengsheng more effectively.

After pausing for a moment, Li Muchen said, "Then turn me into a bear. Make the arrangements and prepare the supplies I mentioned earlier. By no later than midnight tonight, I need to be on that island."

-

"These three rabbits are what I shot with arrows in the forest. Later, I found a fruit tree, but the tree was so tall I couldn’t climb it."

"Then how did you..." Lan Yu wanted to ask how Lu Sheng had managed to gather so much fruit if she couldn’t reach the tree.

"This bear appeared and helped me," Lu Sheng said. "It carried me on its back, standing up so I could reach the fruit. After that, it even brought me a luggage bag."

"What’s inside the luggage bag?" Han Jing asked, glancing at the large bag.

"I think this luggage bag might’ve been left behind or discarded by someone previously on the island. It’s full of supplies and food," Lu Sheng replied.

"I think we don’t need to worry about food or survival on the island anymore."

Everyone’s gaze shifted to the bear.

Seeing that it showed no hostility, and instead leaned gently against Lu Sheng as if acting friendly, they began to relax gradually.

"Let me check what’s inside," Lan Yu said, stepping forward to unzip the bag.

As she started taking items out one by one, she couldn’t help but exclaim, "Oh my gosh, we’re so lucky! This bag has food, water, clothes, tools—everything we need!"

When they were choosing supplies earlier, the five of them had been particularly unfortunate, barely picking up anything useful. But now, they’d become the group with the most food and resources among everyone.

"Shengsheng, you’re amazing! You’re such a lucky star for us!" Lan Yu hugged Lu Sheng tightly and planted a kiss on her cheek. Then, seeing the bear, she was moved to tears.

Just as she was about to embrace the bear, it suddenly flinched as if electrocuted, dodging over to Lu Sheng’s other side. It acted like it didn’t want to be touched by anyone other than Lu Sheng.

Lan Yu didn’t take it to heart, only marveling again at Lu Sheng’s charm.

Shengsheng used to enchant both men and women; now, it seemed she could even "capture" animals.

But while Lan Yu and Lu Sheng were chatting, Lu Youming bent down and pulled something out of the bag.

When he saw what it was, he froze for a moment, then called out to the others, "...Take a look at this. What do you think this is?"
