Cannon Fodder Fake Master Was Stunned After Being Reborn

Thank you Yue for the ko-fi donation!

However, Shen Xingsui couldn’t see the kindness of the commenting netizens, and he suffered from the disadvantage of not knowing the dialect, but he was in a good mood.

The fishing boat stopped after arriving at the designated place, and then the boatman pointed and said, “This is where we usually cast our nets. Although it is winter, there are still a lot of fish, especially this far into the sea. We come here every day to try our luck during the eel season.”

Fu Jinxiao also followed him to the outside of the boat cabin to see where they were going to cast their nets later.

Shen Xingsui also figured out that the climate here was actually not very cold. It was even rated as the best winter tourist resort in China at one time. The wind was a little strong, and it was a little chilly on the skin. When he stepped out of the cabin, he couldn’t help sneezing.

Fu Jinxiao looked back at him, frowned slightly, and whispered, “What are you doing here, go back.”

Shen Xingsui shook his head and said, “I’ll just take a look.”

Not wanting to diminish his interest, Fu Jinxiao walked towards him. As someone who had suffered all kinds of work-related injuries, the program crew was especially caring towards him, and gave him hand warmers for free. He walked over, put the warmer into Shen Xingsui’s hands, and said softly, “Look after it for a while.”

Shen Xingsui didn’t want to take it, but Fu Jinxiao was very strong and decisive. He understood the actor’s character, so he had no choice but to accept it. 

The fisherman asked, “You decide where to cast the net, and all the fish caught in the net will belong to you. But if you don’t catch anything, the money will not be refunded.” 

Fu Jinxiao nodded and said, “I know”

The wind on the sea was still a bit strong now. Fu Jinxiao went to the fisherman to discuss with him, and finally decided on two areas. He turned to Shen Xingsui and said, “Choose one.”

In fact, Shen Xingsui didn’t know anything about fishing. He said nervously, “I’m the one choosing? But I don’t know how. What if I choose a bad one…”

Fu Jinxiao smiled and said, “Even if you choose a bad one, it’s the area I chose first. I don’t blame you.”

Only then did Shen Xingsui calm down. He walked to the side of the boat and looked at the two areas, and finally pointed to one of them and said, “Let’s go with this one.” 

After selecting the area, Fu Jinxiao pulled Shen Xingsui to go further in. The fishermen here were all experienced, as they have done this for decades. The big fishing nets were cast down, and the waiting time was always very long. While waiting, Fu Jinxiao chatted with the fishermen one after another, and translated some dialects of the other side for the audience.

The fishermen responded, “Sometimes business is not good in winter, and those who can’t stay at home all the time want to go fishing, like the children who are home for the Chinese New Year. However, they can only fish from near the coastal areas. If they have good luck, they probably can catch an eel or two, which sells for more. But it’s not easy to catch them in recent years…” 

As the fisherman ranted, it’s finally time to collect the net. 

The large net was pulled into the boat, and it was full of rich spoils.

There were quite a few fish, shrimps, and even big crabs inside. There were also many rare fish species that Shen Xingsui had never seen before, which he thought were very beautiful. But the fisherman took some of them and threw them back into the sea.

Shen Xingsui was wondering, and Fu Jinxiao explained it to him, “Some of them are full of eggs, so they have to be thrown back.” 

‘I see…’ 

Shen Xingsui kept watching the fisherman sorting through the fish. One of them whispered excitedly, pointing at a fish, “Oh, it’s an eel!” 

The youth didn’t know much about marine biology, so he only nodded. Though, eels were easy to distinguish from other fishes. 

The fisherman gave Fu Jinxiao a thumbs up, “This is a good place to cast nets.” 

The corner of Fu Jinxiao’s lips curled into a slight smile. 

For Shen Xingsui, he felt that Fu Jinxiao was incredibly sweet and caring to him. It’s clear that the casting area was Fu Jinxiao’s choice at first, but because he asked Shen Xingsui’s input, this could be credited to the youth as well. He was very attentive, and it made him feel warm all over. He stepped forward, leaned on the actor, and asked, “We have these fishes, how much can we sell it for?”

Fu Jinxiao translated his question to the fisherman.

The fisherman gave them an estimate, “For this season’s harvest, depending on the size of the fish, we will get four or five thousand per net cast!” 

When Fu Jinxiao relayed the price, Shen Xingsui was completely shocked. “Per cast? But we casted multiple times, right? Can we make money with this?” 

Fu Jinxiao helped him close the coat on his body, and said in a low voice, “I know you are afraid of the cold, so let’s make a quick decision.”

Shen Xingsui never dreamed that things would be so simple. What was even more surprising to him was that Fu Jinxiao actually noticed that he was weak to cold. Feeling a little happy and shy, he mumbled, “I’m not that afraid of the cold.”

Fu Jinxiao smiled lightly, “Well, you are not afraid, but I am.”

Shen Xingsui felt a little embarrassed by what he said, so he whispered back, “Then shall we go to the market and sell the fish to help others?” 

“No, let’s just give the fish to the fishermen here at a low price.” Fu Jinxiao explained, “It’s true that we can sell it at a higher price at the market, but if they sell more, they will be able to get more for their family.” 

Shen Xingsui understood what he meant.

Although they could make a lot of money if they sold it by themselves, if they discounted it to the fishermen, the fishermen themselves could earn more, so they didn’t have to work so hard during this holiday season. 

Shen Xingsui said softly, “I think it’s okay.”

Fu Jinxiao took him back to the cabin, and seeing that he agreed so simply, he curled his lips, “Aren’t you afraid of losing to other teams?”

Shen Xingsui sat down on the chair, and replied, “Not afraid.”

Fu Jinxiao was a little surprised at that. “Why?” He asked.

“Because…” Shen Xingsui trailed off, with a smile in his bright eyes, he looked at Fu Jinxiao gently. “Well, we still have a lot of time anyways, we will always win.” 

Without any doubt or hesitation, there was complete trust in Fu Jinxiao in those eyes.

Fu Jinxiao came down and walked up to Shen Xingsui. The staff handed him a new piece of hand warmer for him. He took it and put it in Shen Xingsui’s hands. When he bent over and got up, their gazes locked. Then, he patted the obedient youth’s head. His voice was low, and his smile was particularly doting. “I won’t let you lose.” 

–It’s clear that he implied beyond this game. 

The audience in the live broadcast room were very moved when they saw this scene:

[He really never let him lose.]

[From the beginning of the first episode, Mr. Fu said this to Suisui.]

[Yes, he kept his promise.]

[Whether it’s a game or reality, he always lets Suisui win.]

[Wuwuwuwuwuuu— we didn’t lose to you, we lost to him.]

On the first day of doing business, the results of several groups were excellent. As expected, they were all business-savvy people. In the end, the combination of Fu Jinxiao and Shen Xingsui narrowly won by more than 100 yuan more than the second group.

Today was a tiring day for everyone, but they also have a preliminary understanding of this small island. Just when everyone thought that they would live as fishermen in the future, the program team brought good news the next day, “Today we are going to the most famous local amusement park. It is a fairy tale-themed one. There are invitation cards hidden everywhere in the park. As long as you find these invitation cards, you can get the invitation letter from the Fantasy Kingdom. Let’s draw lots and act in groups today.” 

This unexpected development made the audience very happy. 

[It’s finally a bit of fun.]

[The crew finally saw the light!]

[Yeah!]

Shen Xingsui formed a team with Teacher Tuya. 

He and Teacher Tuya were still very destined. They met in the corridor of the survival show that year, and this instructor also gave him a lot of help. Teacher Tuya had always given Shen Xingsui a very reliable, mature, and stable image. She was a mentor Shen Xingsui respected very much, the first guiding light he met after his rebirth. 

After entering the amusement park, he found that the amusement facilities here were all dazzling.

As a senior, Tuya analyzed and led them first. “I think this invitation must be in the hands of the staff of the amusement park. Let’s go to play and ask them for it.” 

Shen Xingsui nodded in agreement. “Okay.”

The amusement park here had a lot of water-themed rides, as expected for a place close to the sea. The first thing they tried was a river boat ride. Although it was winter1I mistakenly said that the island was a tropical one. It’s not, it’s just located in southern part of China, which is warmer., the amusement park was very warm. The island was located in a temperate zone, and it seemed that in order to make tourists more comfortable, the park’s temperature was strictly controlled. When the rubber boat rushed down, the impact force was huge, accompanied by the displaced water waves. Screams were all around, and the rapid flight for a moment actually reminded Shen Xingsui of the moment of the car accident in his previous life.

The rubber boat landed on the water after going through the river, making a huge wave crash.

As their ride came to an end, Shen Xingsui’s face was a little pale, but Tuya’s face was flushed with excitement as she was not afraid at all. After seeing Shen Xingsui’s pale complexion, she became concerned. “Suisui, are you okay?” 

Shen Xingsui climbed out from the boat, and gave her a weak smile. “It’s okay, I just need to take it easy.” 

Some viewers in the live broadcast room mocked him for this.

[Shen Xingsui is too timid.]

[He has no manliness at all.]

[He lost to Teacher Tuya!]

[Don’t say that, maybe he had a phobia towards this, you know.] 

They finished playing this ride, but the staff said that there was no invitation letter and asked them to go to the front to have a look. Walking along the path with Tuya, he didn’t expect that the end of the path turned out to be a haunted house!

The gloomy house had a horrific appearance. In order to make it realistic, it even had a real spider silk under the eaves. When they approached, Shen Xingchen and his teammate, Wen Shengge were actually there.

Tuya greeted them, “Are you here too?”

“I heard that this haunted house is scary,” Shen Xingchen pointed to the door and said, “So I want to take a look.”

Tuya nodded in understanding. “Then why didn’t you go in?”

Shen Xingchen choked. Next to him, Wen Shengge actually chuckled and spilled the beans, “He’s afraid of ghosts!”

As soon as he said this, Shen Xingchen’s hair was blown up. “Who is afraid of ghosts? I’m a manly man, okay? I’m afraid of ghosts!! T-Teacher Tuya, are you afraid?” (like when a cat is angry/scared, their fur all puffed up in order to make them look bigger.)

Tuya coughed lightly, “Of course I’m not afraid of ghosts!”

The staff outside saw the guests, and beckoned to them. “Do you want to go in? You are already in line.” 

Originally, Shen Xingchen wanted to slip away, but unexpectedly met another group. Now it’s difficult for him to get off the tiger2the idiom goes like: unable to get off from riding a tiger – hard to get out from a bad situation you put yourself in., so he could only nod as he thought, ‘There’s many people here, how terrifying can it be?’ 

The four of them entered the haunted house.

It’s dark and deep here, and the road was even darker. Somehow, there’s always the sound of water droplets echoing from the ceiling, but otherwise it was eerily quiet. Then, there was a sudden sound that breaks the silence, and a withered hand emerges from the darkness. It stretched out its rotting, emancipated limb, grabbing the person who was walking—

“Ah!!!”

Three screams sounded in the haunted house, breaking the eardrum of the person next to them.

In particular, Shen Xingchen almost jumped a whole one meter. Leaning against the wall in fright, his legs kept shaking. But the wall he was leaning on became soft for some reason, and when he looked back, it was scarlet red, and Shen Xingchen screamed again in fright. 

“There is a ghost!!”

Tuya and Wen Shengge were not much better. Tuya, who was closest to Shen Xingsui, directly grabbed Shen Xingsui’s arm, trembling like a newborn calf, “Suisui, Suisui, help me, something is pulling my feet…”

The brave woman who was boasting herself just now was about to cry from fright.

Shen Xingsui sighed, squatted down and accurately touched the toy’s withered hand in the dark, then turned off the power. He walked to Shen Xingchen’s side, and cleaned up the sticky red glue that poured down from the ceiling’s wall. After this, a toy head of Sadako with long, black hair suddenly fell from the ceiling, which looked horrifying.

“Ahhh!!”

The other three people were shocked by the sudden falling head.

Shen Xingsui sighed again, flicked the almost invisible thread in the air and said, “These are all props. Don’t be afraid, we can get out of this easily.” 

As they marched forward, all three scaredy-cats decided to cling to Shen Xingsui, each hugging his arms while trembling. “Suisui, don’t leave me!” 

“…” 

The audience in the live broadcast room fell into an uproarious laughter.

[Hahaha, what the fuck!]

[The real man, Shen Xingsui.]

[How can he be so calm?]

[It’s really scary, I’m scared even through the screen.]

[My big brother always called himself a macho man. But when he was in this haunted house last year, he was scared until almost wetting himself.] 

[Suisui, you are too strong!]

On the way out from the haunted house, everyone saw Shen Xingsui’s calm indifference. Whether it was ghosts that appeared suddenly or all kinds of scary traps, he could face it all without fear. 

In contrast, when the rest of them came out from the haunted house, all of their legs were more like jelly.

Shen Xingchen felt that his younger brother’s image suddenly became taller.

Tuya also said, “Suisui, why are you not afraid at all?!”

Shen Xingsui drank from a water bottle, comforted everyone, and glanced at the haunted house, saying, “These are all mechanism props, not real ghosts. Plus, I don’t think ghosts will appear in broad daylight. When you open your mouth, you all have strong yang qi, it’s  impossible for them – full of yin qi – to come up to you, so don’t be afraid.”

“…”

There was silence.

The author has something to say: 

Suisui: As someone who has died before, I’m not scared of ghosts.
