"Look at Lele's expression, it's hilarious! One second she's saying the device is sturdy, the next it's broken, hahaha!"
"Nice, Lele's verbal expressions are always so amusing, cracks me up!"
"Wait, hasn't anyone noticed? This device is made of wood inside, no metal at all!"
"Holy crap, it's true! When did the National Research Institute become this amazing, to come up with such a black technology!"
This technology was supposed to be top secret, and even using it in the wilderness shouldn't have led to any leaks.
Who would have thought that a contestant's violent destruction would expose their secret?
There will always be someone who spots the blind spots. Millions of eyes were focused on the live stream, and nothing escaped their gaze.
In the control room, in front of the monitors, the middle-aged man looked at the broken wooden sphere on the ground with a pained expression.
They hadn't fully mastered this technology yet.
If it weren't for the order from higher up to put this technology into production, they wouldn't have directly used the batch of cores they'd excavated.
These were irreplaceable items!!!
The director, seeing the device was broken, was stunned for a moment, then unhesitatingly said.
"Send another one."
Seeing the middle-aged man's distressed look, he rolled his eyes.
"Have a bigger perspective, won't you? You'll develop this technology eventually. Exploring this island is what's important."
After all, the island's secrets were crucial. It would be a shame if they could find them but lacked the equipment.
Like the salt mine cave that Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian had encountered before.
They had entered it later and found it to be just a hollow eroded by corrosion, with hardly any rock salt visible. They probably picked it clean.
But the director always wondered, since Jiang Fan and the others were chosen people, perhaps they could see other things inside?
Thinking this, his curiosity burned, but he could only wait for the next strange object to appear to prove this point.
With their own agendas, both fell silent for a moment.
Meanwhile, in the live stream, the bullet comments continued to ferment.
After seeing several contestants startled by the small spheres, the audience became even more curious about how Jiang Fan would handle them.
Even Lele, using a new internet meme, said.
"What about that man with no avatar? He's probably not even up yet, is he?"
"I just want to see if he'll be scared to death!"
As the saying goes, love so deep naturally leads to teasing. Lele declared herself a true fan, but that didn't stop her from anticipating and playing along with the memes.
Bear Grylls, listening beside them, sighed inwardly, marveling at how China could produce such incredible technology.
His own wilderness survival shows had used a full film and medical crew, a large number of people, and significant budget expenditures.
Part of the reason he fell out with the production team then was due to exceeding the budget.
But if he could have had these camera spheres, perhaps that show could have continued...
The past faded like the wind. Bear Grylls merely entertained the thought for a moment before turning his gaze to the big screen, waiting for the director to switch to Jiang Fan's feed.
The perspective shifted, and they saw a medium shot.
The storm on the deserted island raged on, showing no signs of abating.
Battling the wind and rain, three small spheres flitted their wings in front of the bamboo hut.
With each beat of their thin wings, water was shaken off.
They swayed left and right, unable to figure out how to get inside the house.
Their darting and weaving movements made the audience feel a sense of urgency, almost bursting into laughter.
"These little balls... Hahaha! Why do I see a crying face on them for no reason?"
"Poor little balls, crying and throwing a tantrum because they can't get into the bamboo hut and finish their mission, boohoohoo, how pitiful~"
"You ahead, you're truly wicked! Wicked to the core! But it is indeed crying and throwing a tantrum, hahaha!"
"Is there a possibility that these little balls can't open doors, or that they don't have a knock-door function loaded?"
Bullet comments streamed by, scrolling upwards rapidly.
The behavior of the little spheres was so intelligent that they found it truly amusing.
But soon, someone's guess was proven wrong.
The three little spheres spun around, formed a small circle, and exchanged glances. Then, as if communicating, the leftmost sphere flew to the door and slammed against it hard.
The bamboo door let out a dull thud, loud enough to be heard inside.
After a moment, the bamboo door opened.
Jiang Fan stood inside, his palm facing down, gesturing for silence.
"Quiet down, there are people sleeping inside."
He thought it was someone from Shark Official arriving, but instead, he saw three small spheres hovering in the air.
At the same time, the system reacted again.
[Detected Huccaro Technology 'Observer'. Host may choose to reclaim for charging.]
Charging?
This was a new term.
Jiang Fan hadn't expected these little spheres to be related to the 'Huccaro Civilization' he had discovered.
Moreover, on his personal attribute panel, the 'Shop' button, which had been inactive, now had a different appearance.
[Shop 0/100.]
Perhaps reclaiming these little spheres would allow him to charge it?
Jiang Fan mused, looking at the spheres in front of him, lost in thought.
His interest was genuine, but unfortunately, these were likely released by Shark Official.
If he were to reclaim them so brazenly, it would be a miracle if he wasn't caught!
Jiang Fan always had a clear head when facing novel things.
After a moment of stunned silence, he smiled and said.
"Keep your voices down, don't disturb the people inside."
Jiang Fan's reaction was faithfully recorded by the little spheres.
Lele, seeing this, laughed until her stomach hurt.
"Why is Jiang Shen so naive? Do these little spheres understand human speech?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the three little spheres dip towards Jiang Fan three times.
It really looked like they were nodding!
They were incredibly well-behaved.
Lele, once again proven wrong, felt defeated. "I'm done, I'm tired, let it all be destroyed. Whoever wants to be a commentator can be one."
The audience, enjoying the show, was in stitches.
The screen was filled with "Hahaha," a true carnival.
And when Jiang Fan saw the three little spheres respond, he reached out and patted the head of the leftmost one, saying with satisfaction.
"Good."
The texture of his fingertips felt strange, like a raised pattern, but when he rubbed it carefully, it felt somewhat familiar.
Just as Jiang Fan was about to reach out again to feel it more.
A woman's voice suddenly boomed from inside the bamboo hut, sharp and ear-splitting.
"Jiang Fan!!! Are you trying to die! We agreed to take turns!!!"
The voice arrived before the person.
Jiang Fan turned his head towards the inside of the bamboo hut, and the three little spheres followed his gaze.
A disheveled woman with messy hair, clothes askew, dark circles under her eyes, and even a trace of deliberate drool on her mouth.
Zhou Niannian stumbled out, furious.
But upon seeing the three little spheres, she froze.
"What are these?"
"Official smart cameras, I guess."
"Speak of cameras, don't you know..."
Zhou Niannian, as usual, made a flippant remark, but then suddenly paused, as if she had just realized something.
"What did you just say these were?"
"Cameras... I think."
Jiang Fan's tone was a bit uncertain, but this time, Zhou Niannian had no intention of correcting him.
Looking at the three cameras flying and rotating around her in a 360-degree arc, she took a deep breath and suddenly screamed.
"Ahhh!!! Don't film me!!!"
Saying that, she dodged the cameras' lenses and stumbled back into the bamboo hut.
