After all, until the installation of the hibernation pods in Anthony's villa and the Smith family's estate, all of the research findings had been theoretical.

But now that these two hibernation pods were being used by Maria and Mathias, the researchers could get their hands on practical results.

Every day, the data was sent to Sophie's research institute. These “trials” really accelerated the development of the research.

The sooner the research institute perfected the technique of hibernation, the sooner Maria might be able to be cured of her narcolepsy problem once and for all. But now, Maria was facing an intractable hurdle: a lack of funds.

In fact, she had already made a remarkable amount of money in a short period of time with her novels, jade carvings, music works, design drawings and so on.

Her total personal income even exceeded the annual net profit of some small and medium-sized enterprises.

However, this extraordinary amount of money was still not enough to fund scientific research. Maria was trying her best, but it didn't seem to be enough.

As a patient with severe narcolepsy, she could only earn money by doing flexible, independent work with no time limits, instead of running a company like Anthony did.

After all, the CEO of a company could not suddenly fall asleep during meetings, could they?

Sitting next to the hibernation pod, Maria sighed and reluctantly dialed a number.

“Jeremy, find me work that will pay fast," Maria said bluntly.

When Jeremy, the CEO of Yeez Entertainment, heard these words, he almost dropped his phone in excitement.

“What? Am I hallucinating? You're willing to make a debut and become a star? Are you being serious right now? This better not be a joke,"

Jeremy said incoherently.

This sudden phone call at night was better than any gift he could have ever asked for.

“Reality shows pay out quickly, right?" Maria asked impatiently.

“That's right! There's no shortage of reality shows that my company can choose from. Maria, what kind of show do you want to take part in? Do you have any requirements in mind?”

Jeremy knew that he could not let such a golden opportunity slip through his fingers, so he got straight to the point.

“Anything is okay as long as it pays well. Just let me know once you choose one."

Maria hung up the phone after saying that, not giving Jeremy a chance to respond.

Although Jeremy was curious about why Maria suddenly seemed to be short on funds, he pushed the thought aside. After all, it was none of his concern. He was just happy that Maria had finally agreed to appear on TV!

It was his one track mind that had enabled Jeremy to quickly develop Yeez Entertainment to become the leader of the entertainment industry.

After considering the popularity that Maria's participation in Island Survival had brought her, Jeremy found the most suitable and well-paid variety show for her: Taste of Childhood.

The audience of Island Survival had been captivated by Maria's professional cooking skills, and Taste of Childhood happened to be a food show.
