Chapter 30 Cute Snake
With reluctance in her heart, Lin Xinmeng clenched her fists tightly.
The material used to make the cloth was unique. Words would only appear on it after being bathed in salty seawater.
Lin Xinmeng had invested much time and energy into obtaining this information from the system.
She couldn’t squander her points by not solving the mission, even if she couldn’t be the first to do so.
Lin Xinmeng might even be able to maintain Zhou Moli’s favorable opinion of her and gain more followers for her account.
Zhou Moli nodded when he noticed Lin Xinmeng’s insistence.
The two of them walked towards the beach.
Zhou Moli was in charge of mission 7, while Lin Xinmeng was in charge of mission 3.
The two of them soaked it completely in the clear seawater.
Time passed by, and a line of words gradually appeared on a rectangular piece of cloth with the number 7 printed on it.
Lin Xinmeng was pleasantly surprised, “I see it! There are words! Our guess was right. What is it about?”
Zhou Moli answered, “Water is the weakest soft ground in the entire world. Nobody, however, is able to stop those who can attack. It’s difficult to triumph. This is a saying from the Taoism Classics.”
Lin Xinmeng was shocked. She recalled Lu Yang’s words and frowned. “So, mission 7 is really to pick up trash from the beach? ”
Instead of answering her question, Zhou Moli asked, “Did the cloth of mission 3 change?”
Lin Xinmeng shook her head. “No. It’s still mushroom and orange’s drawing. No words have appeared.”
Her eyes swept across the distance and suddenly turned back, locking onto the figure who was diligently picking up garbage.
“They’re cleaning up the garbage on the beach!”
Zhou Moli followed her line of sight and, as expected, saw Qin Yitan and Wen Jian, bending over under the scorching sun to pick up the strange object by the sea.
On the other hand, Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu, who were the first to find out about the mission, were focused on their work in their own camp.
Lu Mingyu worked hard to lift the stone. His back muscles were an artistic show of strength that was flawless.
Lu Yang purposely picked a place further away where the water looked clearer to wash the wild fruits.
One would assume they were siblings who had grown up in the countryside simply by looking at this scene.
“I hereby announce that the Lu siblings are the only ones who are trying to survive in the wilderness this time. The rest of the people are looking for missions.”
“Survive? Are you kidding me? Are you sure they’re not here to play?”
“Qin Yitan’s action of picking up garbage is so handsome. I really want to become the garbage in his hands and be picked up by him!”
“The one who said they wanted to become garbage, do garbage know that you’re insulting its reputation like this?”
Lin Xinmeng was stunned for a moment. She noticed that Zhou Moli was staring at Lu Yang’s back. “Lu Yang didn’t like snatching things from others when she was in high school. I don’t think she’s lying to us about picking up trash.”
Zhou Moli glanced at her. “I’m not thinking about that.”
“Then, you…”
Lin Xinmeng wanted to question more, but she swallowed her words when she saw the expression in Zhou Moli’s eyes.
At midday, the orange glow cast a sheen of dazzling gold over the blue seashore. The sun was shining brightly, and swirling shadows of the trees could be seen in the thick forest.
Lu Yang sat in the shade of the tree and rested. She quickly transformed the bamboo basket into a dustpan using her deft fingers.
“Yangyang, I’m done moving the rocks. What else do I need to do? ”
Lu Mingyu panted heavily and was drenched in sweat. He felt so warm that he lifted the hem of his clothes, revealing his beautiful muscle texture, which attracted the viewers in the live broadcast to take screenshots crazily.
The dustpan was made. Lu Yang looked at Lu Mingyu. “There’s nothing else.”
“Mingyu, you should rest in the shade first. Don’t get a heatstroke,” she paused.
Lu Mingyu, who was already drenched in sweat, smiled brightly and replied, “Okay.”
Lu Yang’s eyes darted around. She put down the half-finished dustpan and looked at her watch. Her fair fingers quickly tapped on the watch.
At the same time, a golden notification appeared on the top of the live broadcast:
“Guest Lu Yang exchanged 20 points for a bucket.”
“What’s going on? What did Lu Yang do? Is there a point store for this program?”
“It seems like this is a new rule for season two. Guests can use points to exchange for items in the mall.”
“Lu Yang’s too generous. 20 points at once. She doesn’t seem to have many points on hand, does she?”
Soon, the sound of the rotating wheels became louder and louder.
Soon, a staff member driving a neighborhood tricycle to transport supplies appeared on camera.
“A neighborhood tricycle that does not even have an open roof.”
After removing the rusted iron bucket from the vehicle, the employee honked the horn and announced, “The bucket you requested has come, ending number 1671, ending number 1671. Please collect it as soon as you can. Please collect it as soon as you can.”
“Wow, they can even shop online while surviving in the wilderness. This is too advanced!”
“D*mn! I thought my delivery had arrived. I quickly put on my slippers and ran to the door, but no one was there.”
“Ding dong, your precious water bucket has been delivered. Please check it!”
Wen Jian and Qin Yitan were the first to notice the arrival of the staff. Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng also looked over when they heard the noise.
Lu Yang approached the staff and accepted the bucket with satisfaction. She thanked him.
“You’re welcome. I hope you have a joyful life!”
Lu Mingyu took the metal bucket and asked in confusion, “Yangyang, what do you want a bucket for?”
“There’s a waterhole over there. The water inside is very clean. Take a bucket and fill it with water. Go and take a bath.”
Lu Yang pointed in a direction and looked at Lu Mingyu with slight disdain. “You reek of sweat. You’re smelly.”
Lu Mingyu was at a loss for words, and he felt he was thought of unfavorably by Lu Yang again.
“Lu Yang is polite to others but cute to her brother. Hahahaha!”
“My sister, what are you doing? Why do you despise me for being stinky? Am I still your stinky brother!”
Lu Mingyu couldn’t stand the feel of his sticky body either, so he went in the position Lu Yang pointed at.
The activities of Lu Mingyu and Lu Yang astonished and perplexed the other two groups.
They were shocked because although they knew they could exchange for supplies in the mall, they had never done so. This was because they had very few points, and the materials prices were high.
Even if they wanted to exchange, they would not exchange for dispensable things like water buckets. Instead, they would exchange for food, drinking water, and other necessities of life.
The other two groups were confused. Didn’t Lu Yang know that they would be eliminated when their points reached zero?
Lu Mingyu went to get water for a bath. Lu Yang then remembered the snake she had left in the bamboo basket.
She returned to the campsite and casually tied up her long black hair. Lu Yang then rolled up her sleeves, revealing a section of her fair and tender arm.
Snakes were very dangerous and active.
She opened the bamboo basket. Although she was concentrated and could control the fate of the snake, Lu Yang still picked up a dry wooden stick to be on the safe side.
She opened the hook in the bamboo basket, and the snake quickly came out.
Lu Yang held the wooden stick and stabbed it seven inches away. The force was just right, and the snake fainted and fell to the ground.
Under the intense heat, a snake was very eye-catching.
Lin Xinmeng pretended to be passing by, but when she saw what it was, she jumped back in horror.
“Ah! Lu Yang, what’s this?”
“It’s a snake.”
“Why is it here? How are you going to deal with it?”
“I brought it here. How about… roasting it? Stew it? Sprinkle spice? Anything is fine.”
Lu Yang said it casually, and when she mentioned sprinkling spices, Lin Xinmeng even secretly swallowed her saliva.
But when Lin Xinmeng looked at the thing on the ground again, she felt a chill down her spine and didn’t dare to eat it.
Suddenly, Lin Xinmeng raised her brows, and tears began welling in her eyes. She said pitifully, “Snakes are so cute. How can you eat them?”
