Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Maya Monroe Is Very Introverted

The staff gradually began to feel something was off. If it was just a rest, Maya Monroe shouldn’t be sleeping for this long. The main issue was that time was limited, and if Maya couldn’t gather enough supplies on the first day, it would be tough to get through it.

Maya had only set up a tent but hadn’t secured any food or water, both of which are essential.

The photographers who had followed Maya for several episodes had a good impression of her, so they couldn’t help but start worrying about her.

They tried once more to wake her up: "Maya! Maya, you shouldn’t sleep anymore, you need to go find food now!"

Maya deliberately made her tent low and flat so that others couldn’t see what she was doing inside.

She had just finished eating a candied fruit and felt quite sweet inside. Maya spat the fruit seed into a plastic bag she’d prepared earlier and had no intention of responding or getting up. She planned to play dead until the show staff gave up on waking her.

But surprisingly, the calling continued non-stop.

Maya, holding back her temper, shouted: "I’m just a bit sleepy and not fully awake yet, so please stop calling me."

The photographer started persuading her again: "Maya, the rainforest at night is very dangerous and it’s hard to find food. You should really get up and act now!"

Maya was cozy in her tent with a pile of snacks to munch on, so of course she had no desire to go out. Only a fool would want to go out and feed the mosquitoes!

"I won’t starve to death in here, don’t worry about me!"

The photographers were stunned at Maya’s response.

Such a funny line said with such a serious tone, as if after some deep contemplation...

[Crazy Beans: Saying ’I won’t starve to death’ so earnestly, that hits the funny bone for some reason!]

[Maya Monroe’s fans: Has Maya not woken up yet? I can only see her sneakers, now I can’t even see her face, waaah...]

[Odd Person: This tent seems smaller than last time. Didn’t they say there are way more resources here than on the deserted island?]

[Cartoon Drawing: Blame Justin Morgan! Did Justin upset Maya? Otherwise, why is she suddenly so tired? I remember last episode Maya was sitting up, and now she’s just lying down and won’t come out?]

[Cute Little Duckie: Haha, I initially thought Maya was on the black and red style path, later I found out it was the beauty path, and only now do I realize just how deeply I misunderstood her; she’s clearly on the comedian path...]

The director came over after a while. He noticed Maya’s situation and asked the photographer what was going on. After getting the answer, the director pondered for a moment.

Maya had just argued with Justin, and even the director felt that Justin was really tasteless, so Maya was pissed at Justin?

The director had watched Maya’s journey all along. Although Maya usually seemed lazy and lacked energy to do anything, she was indeed very likable.

The director worried about Maya for a moment before personally calling her: "Maya, it’s time to get up. Otherwise, if you can’t find food later, without a flashlight or tools, acting alone, it’s better to prepare early..."

Seeing no response from Maya, the director continued to patiently persuade her: "It’s normal for life to have unsatisfactory things, but you need to face it with a positive attitude..."

Starting from reminding her to find food, he ended up talking about great philosophy of life, leaving the nearby staff stunned.

Of course, Maya could hear it too.

Wasn’t the show supposed to adopt a "free-range" "completely non-intervention" model for guests? Why was there a barrage of persuasion when it came to her?

Maya was extremely annoyed, knowing things wouldn’t end well if she didn’t go out.

Maya had no choice but to put down her sour plum and crawl out of the tent, deliberately tousling her hair.

She couldn’t care less about her image or looks; what she cared about was "covering up the lie."

After crawling out, Maya covered her mouth to yawn, looking like she had just woken up: "Sorry, director, I’m just too exhausted today."

Maybe because she usually looked lazy, along with her slightly messy hair, no one could guess she was lying just now.

The director sighed in relief seeing her finally awake: "Maya, good to see you’re up. Finding food is very important... Wait, what’s that on the corner of your mouth?"

Maya’s heart skipped a beat, but she remained calm on the outside, lightly raising her hand to wipe away the snack crumbs from the corner of her mouth: "Ah... Director, you know my tent is kind of simple. I must have accidentally smudged some dirt."

The director wasn’t suspicious, hearing about the tent only made him advise her on another matter: "Maya, why is your tent getting smaller? You should really have a bigger tent. Think about it, you never know how many days you’ll be here. The bigger the tent, the more comfortable you’ll sleep. Plus..."

He lowered his voice: "A bigger tent means the photographers can capture you, being only a foot out won’t do. Audiences won’t be able to see you, and your livestream’s popularity will drop."

These were all the director’s insights, but Maya’s livestream situation was truly odd. Maya was among the first to act, so in the beginning, most audience members gathered in Maya’s livestream, and even after two hours in the tent, the popularity hadn’t noticeably decreased.

How strange...

"I see..." Maya pretended to seriously reflect, but inside, she had no intention of taking the director’s advice.

She didn’t care if people watched or not. With so many snacks, she could do just fine without breakfast.

Maya was utterly laid-back, a salted fish who wasn’t picky about food. Touted bread was a delicacy to her, not to mention owning two large bags of snacks right now.

"So, you should switch to a new tent tomorrow." The director, having seen Maya’s super-efficient tent setup, thought building a slightly larger one wouldn’t be a problem.

Maya didn’t expect the director to be so persistent about this issue; of course, she didn’t want to change: "Cough, cough... Director, I think it’s fine like this, it feels really secure. You might not know, but I’m quite introverted. If I even have to stream while sleeping, I’d have no privacy at all..."

"You’re... introverted?"

The director completely couldn’t comprehend this statement because looking at Maya from any angle, "introverted" was the last word that came to mind.

Maya didn’t think there was anything wrong with what she said, earnestly criticizing herself without caring about image: "Yeah, I have lots of little secrets, I’m not too honest while sleeping, like how I love to snore, grind my teeth, pick my feet..."

The director hurriedly interrupted her, stopping her from saying more ridiculous things: "Okay, okay, I believe you! I believe you!!"
