Xie Mi and Shen Yeqing spent their heart-to-heart session playing games before Shen Yeqing showed her an album of his childhood photos. The album ended in high school, and he said he had stopped taking photos because he became busy with his studies.
Xie Mi asked Shen Yeqing whether his feelings for her were truly romantic, and he said he had never mistaken them and that she would soon understand. Shen Yeqing revealed that Xie Mi’s current romantic interest was herself, while Xiao Jingxi reacted with distress and the male lead awakening progress reached 1%.
Xie Mi heard that Xiao Jingxi’s male lead awakening had begun, while Liu Woxing firmly rejected Qiu Chengye and learned that Xie Mi was the person who made her heart flutter. Qiu Chengye misunderstood Liu Woxing’s choice and fled, leaving the chapter on the show’s friendship-focused results.
The guests discovered that the cruise ship seemed empty of staff and had to figure out breakfast for themselves. Shen Yeqing returned from the supermarket with food, while Xie Mi remained baffled by Xiao Jingxi’s negative awakening progress.
The guests realized the empty cruise ship let them take food and enjoy its amenities, but the production team redirected them to Greenwood Island before they could explore. There, Director Niu announced they would learn local recipes, prepare food, and compete at the island’s Food Festival.
Xu Shuangrong offered Yu Jinche an alliance to help him get Xie Mi in exchange for keeping Xie Mi away from Shen Yeqing. On the road trip, the group went skydiving after Qiu Chengye resisted, and the activity left the more nervous participants struggling to hide their fear.
Xie Mi tried to shake Yu Jinche after he followed and copied her all day, while Xu Shuangrong seized the distraction to make a move on Shen Yeqing. The chapter ended with Xu Shuangrong urging Xiao Jingxi to hurry toward the now-isolated Shen Yeqing.
Xie Mi, Xiao Jingxi, and Yu Jinche turned a conversation into a chaotic series of collisions and rolling stunts, leaving Director Niu exasperated. The group then visited Qiu Chengye's lavish private golf course, where Lai Bingxuan mocked his showing off and Shen Yeqing casually dismissed his wealth.
Qiu Chengye tried to show off at his private golf course, but Shen Yeqing and Liu Woxing outplayed him, and Xie Mi accidentally sent a chunk of turf flying. The chapter ended with Qiu Chengye shrieking as he realized she had torn up his pristine course.
At the golf course, Xie Mi and Lai Bingxuan tore up Qiu Chengye’s lawn without hitting the ball, and Qiu Chengye’s attempt to stop Xiao Jingxi sparked rumors that they were a couple. The group then fulfilled Xu Shuangrong’s and Xiao Jingxi’s travel wishes, leaving only Shen Yeqing’s wish unfulfilled with three days left in phase two.
Shen Yeqing’s unusual travel wish sent all eight guests into a seventy-two-hour street-living challenge without money, lodging, or help from outsiders. Qiu Chengye thought his phone, car keys, and ID card gave him an easy advantage, but Director Niu questioned how much battery his phone had left.
The Production Team launched a seventy-two-hour vagabond challenge, leaving the eight guests to fend for themselves with the three items they had packed. Xiao Jingxi had brought cash and expected to manage easily, but the group began the challenge late at night in a remote area with nearby attractions closed.
The group found themselves stranded in a deserted place, and Xie Mi drove Xiao Jingxi away by persuading everyone that he owed them compensation. Qiu Chengye offered rides in exchange for three days of help, but discovered his car was over fifty kilometers away, leaving the group without a way out.
After being left without supplies, Xie Mi led the group to sleep beneath the overhang at a closed tourist attraction, while Qiu Chengye resisted joining them until he gave in and was mocked. As the group lay awake, thirst became their next problem, and they wondered whether the Production Team would provide water.
The cast grew thirsty when the Production Team refused to provide water, but Shen Yeqing shared his bottle with them in exchange for thanks or other favors. Qiu Chengye eventually humbled himself for a mouthful, then secretly considered keeping the remaining water for himself.
After spending the night outside the scenic area, Xie Mi and the others woke up sore and hungry, with three more days of street life ahead. Xie Mi proposed a plan based on the scenic area's reward for reporting public urination or defecation, and singled out Qiu Chengye.
The guests searched for ways to get food while living on the street, but the Production Team blocked a promising barter deal. Liu Woxing and Lai Bingxuan then gathered the courage to ask for free samples at a café.
After Xie Mi and Shen Yeqing set off together, the hungry contestants heard that she had eaten her fill and went to investigate. They found a crowd gathered around her, suspected she was using her fame to get food, and headed closer to learn what was happening.
Xie Mi and Shen Yeqing used a Sun Wukong disguise and a snack stall to draw a crowd at a tourist attraction, surprising the others who had joined the line to find her. They reunited after the crowd dispersed, with Xie Mi pleased by how well their scheme worked.
After Xie Mi’s monkey act earned her and Shen Yeqing fifty yuan each and a ride downtown, she offered the group loans at a steep markup. The group pooled one hundred yuan to find lunch but discovered that even bread at their luxury mall cost more than they could afford.
Xie Mi led the hungry group to a cheap noodle shop, where she fed them knockoff instant noodles and teased Qiu Chengye about the food and water prices. Later, while the group took shelter from the rain in a mall, Qiu Chengye was thrown off a massage chair as Xie Mi watched.
After surviving their first day with almost no money, the seven guests slept on park benches. In the middle of the night, Qiu Chengye was startled by a strange man asking for water, and their frantic chase ended with two people falling into the lake.
After Xiao Jingxi was found penniless and soaked alongside Qiu Chengye, the group learned how he had been repeatedly overcharged and spent his entire thousand yuan. The next morning, with only 44 yuan left for eight people, Xie Mi prepared to teach everyone survival skills.
Xie Mi organized the group into a street performance troupe to earn money, using paper cups for donations and a suona and gong for music. She left Qiu Chengye facing a choice between performing as a monkey or wearing Xiao Jingxi’s women’s clothes, while several others volunteered to be the monkey’s trainer.
Xie Mi organized the guests into a masked street-performance troupe, which drew a crowd and earned a large haul of food by noon. Director Niu watched in disbelief as their performance succeeded despite the Production Team’s precautions.
