âRegretfully, we should have requested more drones from the station to follow her,â the director lamented.
Within just a few minutes, Si Fuqing returned, carrying two wild chickens in her hands.
To the astonishment of the others, she skillfully plucked the feathers from the chickens.
Yuan Heping couldnât help but curse in amazement, âWhat the fu*kâ¦â Is she even human?
[How cruel, Si Fuqing, how can you eat wild chickens like that, with the blood and all? How can you bear to do it?]
[To the person above, better be careful walking on the street, lest you get splashed by someone elseâs karma.]
[I must say, Si Fuqingâs physical fitness is exceptional. Chickens are fast and attack back, yet she caught two at once.]
âDonât worry, my girl,â Yuan Heping tried to comfort her, âAlthough the program requires us to survive, they wouldnât really let us starve. These birds are edible and definitely released by the crew.â
âTheyâre not wild?â Si Fuqing pondered, âNo wonder there was no challenge when I caught them.â
Meanwhile, Ning Luoyao successfully started a fire.
Si Fuqing expertly skewered the chickens on sticks and began to roast them.
[� I suddenly have an ominous feeling for any animals around here; beware of Si Fuqing.]
[Sheâs so skilled, how is she this skilled?]
[Enough, Iâm a fan now. So what if sheâs a variety star? Some people donât even have the charisma to be on variety shows.]n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meanwhile, the program continued its lively shooting, and Jiang Changning returned home, âMom.â
Jiangâs mother was surprised, âWhy have you been coming back so often lately? I thought celebrities were always busy. You really have a lot of free time.â
âIâve put off work,â Jiang Changning replied nonchalantly, âMy groupâs contract is about to expire, and Iâm going to terminate it.â
Jiangâs mother, not much interested in showbiz gossip, advised, âWell, you better think about what you want to do next.â
âMaybe farming,â Jiang Changning rolled up his sleeves, âand opening a coffee shop at the village entrance? Sell some pastries.â
âThat wonât do, the people who come to our village arenât good-looking, â his mother objected immediately, âBut you came back at the right time. The annual assessment is about to start, you need to prepare.â
Jiang Changningâs expression turned solemn, âI should be fine, but Dadâ¦â
âWe can only hope for the best,â his mother sighed, âWeâll see if that plant can survive.â
âMom,â Jiang Changning added, âthere are rumors outside saying we are primitives.â
Jiangâs mother was furious, âWho said that! I watch TV!â
Jiang Changning:
âI came back this time because a friend of mine is here for a show,â she explained helplessly, âIâll bring her over to visit.â
âA friend, huh? Is she pretty?â his motherâs eyes lit up, âWhat about your brother? Take him to meet her.
Jiang Changning instantly turned cold, âNo way.â
Jiang Changfeng had returned too, but went straight to the Elderâs Village.
âChangfeng, youâre back,â the Third Elder lay in a rocking chair, smoking a pipe, âHow was the city? Did you bring someone back for your parents to meet?â
Jiang Changfeng paused: âThird Elder, do we have any spare game pods?â
âGame pods?â The Third Elderâs eyes suddenly sharpened, âA pod represents a spot in âEternityâ, and those spots are approved by the Free State. Our villageâs ten spots for this year were allocated at the beginning of the year.â
No one knew exactly how the holographic game âEternityâ came to be.
With the current level of science and technology, holographic technology was still immature, yet âEternityâ could perfectly simulate a world indistinguishable from reality, including the players.
Bridging games with reality, a feat even the Third Elder couldnât comprehend till today.
Regardless, the gameâs developer was a genius of rare caliber.
âI see,â Jiang Changfeng accepted quietly.
He had heard Si Fuqingâs game pod was broken and wanted to get a new one from the Miracle Doctor Alliance for her.
âSpeaking of which, the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand is too elusive,â the Third
Elder grumbled, âSpent ages waiting without a glimpse.â
Jiang Changfeng: â
That isnât surprising at all.
After all, she is thriving in the entertainment industry.
Jiang Changfeng suggested tactfully, âPerhaps you should watch more TV programs? For instance, âYouth With Youâ is quite a good talent show, you might discover something new.â
He could only hint so much.
âOh, speaking of shows, thereâs a program being filmed in the forest near our village,â the Third Elder mentioned, âHeard some good-looking celebrities are there. You should check it out, maybe find a daughter-in-law for your parents.â
Jiang Changfeng: â .
He was genuinely scared.
Still, he asked, âWhere exactly are they filming?â
âIâll take you there,â the Third Elder put down his pipe, âAnd maybe find a match for my grandson too.â
Jiang Changfeng remained expressionless.
Go ahead and match, see ifHeavenly Doctor Ghosthand would feel about this.
After the meal with the program crew, everyone, except for Qi Shuning, seemed to have warmed up considerably to Si Fuqing.
âToday weâre heading to the first village,â the assistant director announced. âYour first challenge is coming up. Earn points by completing challenges, and dinner will be allocated based on your scores.â
Ning Luoyao sighed as she followed Si Fuqing, and the group of six reached the village entrance.
There was a stall run by an elderly lady, displaying various unfamiliar plants.
âYour first challenge is to find edible plants among these wild herbs,â the assistant director said with a smile, âLetâs begin, teachers.â
Ning Luoyao asked first, ââ¦Arenât these all the same?!â
Qi Shuning frowned after examining the plants for a while and shook her head.
Her minor was in pharmacology, but she couldnât identify these plants.
âEven Shuning doesnât recognize them?â Shen Xiuwen was surprised, âIt seems weâre not familiar with the deep forest vegetation.â Xu Jiannian raised his hand, âDirector, can we ask for external assistance?â
The director replied leisurely, âSure, see who you can ask.â
Xu Jiannian: â
[Everyoneâs at a loss, hilarious.]
[The program crew is quite harsh; even seasoned wild herb foragers might not recognize these.]
Si Fuqing pointed to a clump of wild grass on the ground and smiled, âCan I
The elderly lady responded immedately, âGo ahead.â
The surroundings suddenly quieted down, and the live chat came to a halt.
