I Accidentally Picked Up a Green Tea Big Shot on a Survival Variety Show [Entertainment Industry]

[Superhuman Strength Girl & Frail Big Shot]

After waking up, Zhong Ling, a beastman from the apocalypse, finds herself back in the year 21XX and, for some inexplicable reason, has become an obscure idol in a competition group.

With all her skills going to waste, Zhong Ling is also let down by her lack of education. She and a group of survival experts are dropped onto a deserted island to take part in a survival show.

Now she has to compete with survival experts for a spot in the debut lineup.

Hello? Is the production team okay?

Being able to understand animals' thoughts and talk with them is a new ability humans gained after evolving into beastmen over the course of a long evolutionary history. But during the apocalypse, when human survival was already a struggle, the only creatures around were zombies, zombie dogs, zombie cats, and zombie chickens that couldn't understand human speech.

After transmigrating to the present day, Zhong Ling is fed up. She coolly watches a sparrow chattering away on a branch. "I can hear you insulting me, you know."

The survival show is just for fun. Viewers in the livestream cheerfully watch a group of pretty girls and handsome guys struggle to survive on a deserted island alongside survival experts, covered in dirt from head to toe. But then the youngest trainee, who looks like the most well-behaved of the lot, scrambles up a tree.

"Watch your language. You animals will be extinct thousands of years from now. And you still want to rule humanity? That's a bit too ambitious, don't you think?"

Viewers: "Huh? What was that?"

Viewers: "Wait, what's in her pocket?"

The viewers discover that this trainee seems to be able to read minds and understand animals' thoughts. Every day, they watch Zhong Ling get into fierce arguments with the crow at her tent entrance.

After Zhong Ling manages to drive off a python that has invaded their camp, the viewers realize something is off. Wait, this is real?

While trying to survive, Zhong Ling finds someone collapsed on the ground. In a rare act of kindness, she gives them half a bottle of water.

When they wake up, they move closer to her. "I can offer myself to you."

Thinking about their meager food rations, Zhong Ling refuses. "Thanks, but no thanks."

The other person says, "I have a teaching certificate. I can tutor you."

Zhong Ling: "..."

Zhong Ling: "Deal."

The person she picked up is frail but clever. Zhong Ling makes sure they eat well, but one day the viewers, who have had their fill of watching the show, point out: "He's number one on the points leaderboard."

The top-ranked big shot fearlessly reaches into Yue Ling's pocket, takes out a dictionary, and opens it in front of his face. "They're lying."

Livestream viewers: "..."

Other people's categories: plants, animals, fungi.

Zhong Ling's categories: edible, inedible.

One day, the number-one big shot on the points leaderboard appears on a home livestream with a golden-shaded cat in his hands.

The cat looks impatient, while the big shot lets it reign over his head.

Viewers dig up an old comment from the big shot: "I hate cats the most."

The livestream chat erupts in laughter.

Zhong Ling: "I'm a tiger."

The big shot: "I love tigers the most."
