Synopsis

The comic adaptation under the same title is now online: They Said We’d Hike Around the World, So Why Am I Going Hungry Nine Times in Three Days?

[Wilderness survival + crime-catching + comedy + sly tricks + action-packed + no female lead?]

From the start, after transmigrating, Su Mo discovers he is taking part in a show called Hike Around the World.

The rules: All expenses along the way must be earned legally by the contestant himself.

He thought it would be a miserable competition of sleeping rough and going hungry.

That is, until he successfully activates the Free Agent System.

From then on, the entire show takes a completely different turn.

One contestant: “I want to quit. I can’t survive this. I scrub dishes all day and only earn 100 yuan, while this Su Mo guy catches a criminal and gets a 10,000-yuan reward?”

Public Security Bureau: “Seriously, can your production team do something about this? This guy has cleaned out all our reward money. If he keeps catching people, our bureau will have to take out a loan!”

Criminal gang: “You might not believe this, but I hid out in the mountains and didn’t even try to escape, all for a 200-yuan reward. This guy spent days lying in wait for me up there.”

…

When Su Mo finally leaves the Dragon Kingdom,

one day, the Public Security Bureau’s phone rings again.

“Hello, Public Security Bureau? What about criminals abroad? Can I collect rewards for them too? There aren’t many people. I wiped out the Somali pirates in one go. Send someone over to bring them back!”

Looking at the pirate force numbering several thousand, Su Mo shouted into the phone, his head aching.

Warning: Don't read this with your brain engaged! There's no logic or detail! If you don't think carefully... It'll be hilarious 😂 I've read many books of this type, but this is the only one that made me truly happy.

Hello author! First of all, please don't be nervous. I'm not here to urge you to update, because I believe I will live to see the ending. Please write diligently, it doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as you don't abandon the story or pad it out, everything is fine. I, your loyal readers, will wait with you. I greatly admire your writing style, which is both humorous and profound.

It's hilarious and great, but the downside is that it's a serialized series.

So good! It gets even better as it goes on, with hilarious moments throughout. I almost laughed my stomach hurt! Hahahaha, I'm giving it five stars. I highly recommend it to everyone, it's so good you have to watch it! The experience of listening to the music while reading is fantastic! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

It's incredibly well-written! I almost died laughing in the middle of the night. There's no female lead, no romantic subplots, and the protagonist is truly a clueless idiot!

To put it simply, this was the funniest show I watched on Tomato TV, besides Dali's. I laughed from beginning to end. 😆

This is amazing! ^ω^ This is pure awesomeness! Incredibly awesome, the protagonist is incredibly awesome! It's really good, this book is definitely worth recommending! I hope this book doesn't have a female lead or a romantic partner! After all, having a female lead in this kind of story is like having a burden on a tractor (why compare the protagonist to a tractor?

Gaga is so good! I've already followed it up to the latest chapter, and when there were still about 30 chapters left, I was starting to lose interest and went to read other novels. But then I came back to Gaga and I'm totally hooked!

The book features a fresh theme, accessible language, humor, and vivid character portrayals. It employs various descriptive techniques and rhetorical devices, using a global walking tour as a narrative thread and catching criminals and exploiting them as the main plot. Most importantly, it updates frequently, making it a good book.
