The Trending Topic Herself: The Villainess is the Superstar!-Chapter 82: An Unusual Style

Jessica Young heard her words and showed a disdainful smile: "You really think highly of yourself; I hope you can keep boasting like this later."

"Gentle big sister?" A smile flickered in Maya Monroe’s beautiful eyes: "Take my advice, you’re not cut out to be an actress."

After saying this, she no longer paid attention to Jessica Young’s face alternating between green and white and turned away nonchalantly.

Jessica stood in place for a few seconds, deeply regretting how she had just ruined her gentle persona. Actually, she had always struggled to control her behavior, but because she had strong backing, her footage was always edited in interviews or on variety shows. But now it’s different—this is a live broadcast show...

[Online Depressed: What’s wrong with Jessica Young? Is she in a bad mood? She seems really fierce today!]

[Fly Away: Jessica Young has shown her true colors.]

[Online Gossip: Oh my god, is Maya Monroe really going alone? Objectively speaking, considering her young miss temper, I find it strange she doesn’t want anyone to serve her! Better not to boast for now.]

[Maya: Maya sweetheart, you should go with them. It’s desolate here, and I’d be heartbroken if you got hurt!]

[Random Name: Is this Jessica Young? She seems different from her interviews...]

Nina Vance suddenly jogged up to Maya Monroe, grabbing her arm anxiously, "Sister Maya Monroe, please join us. I really don’t feel comfortable with you going alone..."

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine by myself."

Nina tried to persuade her a couple more times, but seeing Maya unmoved, she had to give up, "So, Sister Maya Monroe, where are you going now?"

Maya pointed to a nearby coconut tree, her jade-like finger pleasing to the eye, "Ah, I feel a bit tired, so I’m going to rest over there for a while."

"Sister Maya Monroe, are you not feeling well? You didn’t seem too well when you got off the plane just now."

Maya shook her head.

Suddenly, Jessica Young shouted, calling Nina Vance over to discuss their plan.

Nina gave Maya a long look, then said, "Sister Maya Monroe, be careful on your own. I’ll try to gather more food!"

Did she mean she might share the collected food with her?

Facing Nina’s bright eyes, Maya was a bit surprised. In a real survival crisis, where you don’t know when the weather or lack of resources will lead to death, no one usually considers others; everything done is just to survive in a harsh environment.

Maya smiled and decided not to say anything more: "They’re calling you, you’d better go!"

Maya turned and walked toward the coconut tree.

Next, all the crew members of the show witnessed a ridiculous scene. Over on Justin Morgan’s side, the team of five was energetically discussing the work distribution.

Meanwhile, Maya was leaning against the coconut tree pretending to nap. The reason it was a pretend nap was because she occasionally opened her eyes, either throwing a stone on the ground or letting the sand run through her fingers.

In short, she looked as bored as one could be...

The team of five not far away had finished planning their tasks and started moving in different directions. This also marked the official start of the live broadcast popularity contest.

Maya was still sitting under the coconut tree, on some dry grass she had somehow found.

Maya suddenly yawned; she was sleepy.

Based on her usual schedule, Maya would probably have snacks in hand at this point, but since arriving on the deserted island, she didn’t feel particularly hungry.

Back home where there’s plenty to eat and drink, that’s called enjoying life. In this simple environment, as long as she could meet the basic food intake, it was enough. In other words, she really only enjoyed gourmet food.

Maya’s behavior left the show’s crew very surprised. They had banked on the fear and anxiety of celebrities as a selling point, but Maya’s leisurely and carefree demeanor was a bit of a setback for them.

The guide walked over to Maya, offering a reminder, "Maya, the other guests have all gone to search for supplies. Aren’t you planning to start moving yet?"

"No rush," Maya replied calmly.

It was still early and she was a bit tired, so she didn’t really feel like moving. Anyway, all she needed to do was stay here for two days and a night, not a big deal. She planned to grab a few coconuts later and build a simple temporary shelter.

Maya dozed off a little while longer, only to be woken again by the crew.

This happened several times until Maya was almost annoyed, but the crew was equally helpless, constantly pleading with her: "Maya, could you take a few steps? Even just for a little walk around the beach, we beg you, just take a few steps!"

While other celebrities on the show tried to talk more and seize every opportunity to showcase their intelligence, Maya was different. Not only was she idling, but she was also a super lazy couch potato.

If Maya continued to sleep against the tree, the crew would really struggle to create any topics, and the number of viewers in the livestream might drop.

"Can you give me my suitcase back?" Maya asked.

The guide remembered her suitcase full of snacks and shook his head, "We can’t; that would be very difficult for us..."

Maya sighed, "You keep interrupting my zoning-out time to make me walk two laps, which is also very difficult for me."

Interrupting zoning out...

Walking is difficult...

The guide’s expression was complex, but Maya’s tone and expression were not intentionally making things difficult for him. He could tell that Maya found the idea of "not napping, needing to take a walk" quite distressing.

The guide sighed and exchanged a glance with the director behind the camera.

There’s nothing the crew can do about Maya...

Seeing no one around, and disregarding the surrounding cameras, Maya rested her head on her knees for another short nap.

The show crew could clearly see the fluctuations in viewer numbers in the livestream rooms for the six guests. They discovered something quite baffling: the five guests who cooperated together actively showcased their efforts on camera, getting their hands all muddy for the sake of task cards, but their viewer numbers only increased steadily.

Yet Maya... as a special guest who lazed around on camera, her viewer numbers were growing explosively!

The director suddenly recalled a real-life incident that happened not long ago: a livestreamer accidentally fell asleep while streaming, and to everyone’s surprise, the number of viewers that day was incredibly high.

Maya’s current situation, with such an unconventional style distinct from the other guests, unexpectedly piqued the curiosity of the audience.
