The Fake Heiress Wants Me Dead In The Wilderness

I closed my eyes. I did not even spare a glance at them.Irene punched into thin air, scoffing in displeasure.Team selection ended, and Irene picked two people to join her.Two men, one burly, the other sharp-witted. They were reputed to swiftly locate food sources using geographical knowledge.To Irene, my leisurely demeanor looked like I had given up and was waiting for death.She did not know I had lived here for twenty years. I could find and survive in this place with my eyes closed.To survive half a year was simple work.It was currently autumn. When the weather got colder, it would be harder to survive.If memory served me right, heavy snowfall would likely start in half a month.This mountain range had peculiar temperatures compared to other areas. Every winter, there would be an exceptionally heavy snowfall.It would snow for three full days and nights straight.The snow would pile up to the waist, and avalanches in this place were easily triggered.Half a month

Contestants organized themselves to search for supplies and then divided their loot.For a full fortnight, I was nowhere to be seen.Someone casually remarked, “Maybe she froze to death in some corner long ago. I heard she was lucky to find a cave to hide in, but she couldn’t start a fire.”Irene laughed smugly. “I told her to stay close to us, but she wouldn’t listen!“Still, she’s the real heiress. We should search for her, dead or alive.”Someone grumbled, “Why bother? She signed a waiver. If she’s dead, it’s her own fault.”“Who told her to join a wilderness survival competition when she knows nothing? She even ran deep into the mountains! Even if she hasn’t starved to death yet, a venomous snake would have killed her. Let’s not look for trouble.”“Exactly! With this blizzard outside, even if she somehow survived, she’d die eventually. Let’s just stockpile supplies for winter.”With that, they redoubled their efforts to gather firewood and expand their shelters.The though

Irene purposely put out all my fires in retaliation. There was not even a single spark left.Unfazed, I used the stone tool I had made to scrape shavings from the wood.The dry wood shavings ignited easily. I gathered some sawdust that I had scraped earlier and spread it on the ground.I pulled the flint from my pocket.With a crackle, the fire ignited.The comments went wild.[Wait, how long did that take?][What is that thing? A lighter?][Doesn’t look like it. That fire ignited way too fast. Remember, other contestants took hours to start their fires.]After the staff inspected it carefully, it was confirmed to be a flint.Flints were hard to come by. They were shocked. But contestants underwent thorough checks and preparations. Cheating was impossible. This inspection was just for the viewers. They could not believe it.The netizens had no choice but to admit that I had skills.Irene completely lost her mind. Seeing the pile of meat, she snatched it and wolfed it down!

Other variety shows had been scrambling to contact me. They were hoping I would join their programs for them to ride on my five minutes of fame.I shut down all my contact channels.Unable to reach me, they turned to my affluent parents instead.Irene went straight to them after leaving the hospital and whined at them to get rid of me.But our parents frowned and said, “Irene, Lucia’s your sister. How could you be so heartless toward her?”Her mother looked at Irene disapprovingly. “We neglected her for twenty years. When she returns home, we’ll host a welcome banquet and announce to everyone that Lucia is a child of the Burrel family. We’ll change her name to Lucia Burrel.”Irene was stunned. She could not believe her doting parents had changed their minds so swiftly.When she turned her head, she saw me standing in the doorway.Furious, she lunged forward and slapped me hard across the face. “You wretch! Get out of the Burrel family!”Hearing the commotion, my affluent paren
