Chapter 711: Chapter 709: Tastes good or not?
Sally was followed by three cameramen and her assistant Nian Fang as they started towards the direction of the mountain spring water.
Along the way, she deliberately didn’t follow the well-marked flat routes, opting instead for scenic spots despite uneven and rough terrain.
The cameramen followed Sally, stepping both deeply and shallowly, but never missing the untouched beauty of the wilderness.
Taking advantage of a moment when the photographers were setting up their shots, Nian Fang reminded Sally, “Sister Su, are we lost?”
“It’s possible,” Sally said, supporting her waist, “as long as we get the mountain spring water, that’s all that matters, right?”
“Sister Su, are you tired? We can take a break,” Nian Fang offered support to Sally.
Being accustomed to teleporting and transporting, Sally’s legs had grown lazy. This long trek, particularly over rocky paths, was proving to be quite exhausting. “Let’s get over that hill ahead, then we’ll take a break for our feet.”
Once they crossed the hill, a colorful sea of flowers came into view first. In the middle of the flower sea was a crystal-clear lake, with several swans leisurely swimming in its green waters.
The cameramen simply couldn’t stop filming anymore.
Unable to see the live broadcast, Sally still spoke to the camera occasionally.
“This place is really nice, my friends, have a look, isn’t it beautiful? Over there are some wild fruits, let’s check them out together and see if we can eat any.”
Xiaomei said to Sally, “These fruits are all pretty good, containing spiritual energy. However, they are of no use to the Host. The Host should eat more of the divine-grade Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”
“Alright,” Sally called over Nian Fang to pick some fruits.
One audacious cameraman directly grabbed a handful of wild berries and stuffed them in his mouth, savoring a refreshing sweetness that cascaded down his throat.
The fatigue from earlier vanished, leaving him overjoyed, “These fruits are great!”
Sally addressed the camera, “When you’re in the wilderness, don’t rashly eat things you don’t recognize. We’ve eaten these in the town before, so we know they’re edible.”
Then she ate two herself, “Mmm, they’re tart-sweet with a faint blueberry fragrance, very tasty.”
After filling a jar with water and casually picking some wild fruits, Sally took the camera to continue live broadcasting herself, allowing Nian Fang and the cameramen to pick fruits on their own. After all, for ordinary people, Spirit Fruits are quite rare treasures.
Only when they had no room left to carry more, did the group, with their abundant harvest, start heading back.
On the way, Sally came across Yan Ze, who had also drawn the Mountain Spring Water Card.
Because Sally had deviated from the original path, Yan Ze had not encountered Sally along the way. Now seeing her and the water she was holding, he reached out his hand, “Give it to me.”
Noticing the camera behind her, Sally showed a joyful and shy smile, “Thank you, Brother Yan.”
Yan Ze walked in front.”
Sally picked a greenish wild fruit to feed Yan Ze. The greenish wild fruits were bitter, numbing, and slightly poisonous!
Bearing the numbing sensation in his mouth, Yan Ze asked, “Where did you pick these fruits?”
Sally replied, “We went off the path and found a lake formed by the converging mountain spring water, surrounded by many wild fruits. Do they taste good?”
“Delicious.”
“If they’re delicious, have two more, I picked them especially for Brother Yan,” Sally said with a beaming smile, offering him an even greener one!
“…Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. By the way, I saw on the Internet that Brother Yan graduated from World University. How many points did you score in the college entrance exam?”
“I got a reserved admission slot. But after that, I entered the industry and have been on leave from school ever since.”
“So, during your high school years, did you have a girl you liked?”
“…There was one girl I had a crush on.”
“She must have been very pretty. Did you ever write her love letters or anything?” Sally continued to ask while feeding Yan Ze another green fruit.
Yan Ze played with the fruit between his fingers, unable to take another bite, his mouth now full of a bitter and numbing sensation, “She was very pretty.”
Feigning annoyance, Sally said, “I really want to see what she looked like.”
Yan Ze stopped walking, then opened the lid of his water bottle, the large palm-sized opening reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.
“Come here,” Yan Ze called to Sally,
Sally approached, “What’s wrong?”
“There’s something in the water,” Yan Ze said seriously.
“Oh?” Sally leaned in to look.
“What do you see?” asked Yan Ze.
Sally replied, “Nothing at all…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and looked down at the water bottle again, where she saw a shadow.
The cameraman hurriedly aimed the camera at the surface of the bottle… Sally’s face was clearly reflected.
Sally was momentarily stunned. When she looked up again, the way she looked at Yan Ze was so tender it could melt hearts!
On the other side, Director Zhao, who was checking the live streaming data, saw a surge of traffic pouring into the live room. The screen was filled with comments—it was as if he could hear the audience’s screams.
After checking the source of the data, sure enough, it was from Yan Ze and Sally’s group.
“This amateur female guest is truly extraordinary,” Director Zhao said to the screenwriter beside him.
The screenwriter nodded in agreement, “Indeed. She doesn’t even bat an eyelid in front of Movie King Yan and handles the live camera with ease. Impressive!”
…
Xiao Mumu was also assigned a cameraman and an assistant, but it made no difference whether they followed her or not.
Because Xiao Mumu was a cat and would disappear in a single jump.
The assistant and the cameraman began looking for the cat everywhere.
But it wasn’t long before Xiao Mumu reappeared, running back with a square-shaped leaf in her mouth.
Secretly, she thought… Playing games with the brothers and sisters and losing is no shame. But if I lose playing games with these people, that would be so embarrassing, I might die of shame at the hands of my brothers and sisters.
The little one ran back with particularly high speed.
As Director Zhao was watching each group’s live performance, he heard a ‘meow’ from a cat.
“Xiao Mumu?” Director Zhao was surprised, and he also saw a square-shaped leaf near Xiao Mumu’s feet.
Xiao Mumu called out proudly again.
“Xiao Mumu is really great, completing the task in the shortest time,” praised Director Zhao with a laugh and said to the screenwriter, “This cat is really spirited.”
The screenwriter nodded, “Not only is the master impressive, but the pet is even more amazing!”
Director Zhao chuckled at Xiao Mumu, “Being the first to complete the task, you may choose your partner for the second round of the game first.”
Xiao Mumu looked at the five male guests’ standees, walking around them.
Before leaving the System Space—
Xiao Tiantian reminded her, “Sister, He Cheng possesses quite a few Super Divine Items of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”
“Mhm, I understand! I’ll give it my all!”
“Mei Yong, go for it!”
In the end, Xiao Mumu chose He Cheng!
Just as He Cheng returned, Han Yi followed behind him.
Each man was holding a plant with heart-shaped leaves.
There were mud stains on Han Yi’s clothes, and his carefully styled hair was now tied into a topknot, looking somewhat unkempt.
Especially when looking at He Cheng, his eyes held admiration and affection. It was obvious to anyone that Han Yi was smitten with He Cheng.
Something must have happened between these two.
The director quickly looked towards their live room.
But, both of their screens had turned black for about thirty minutes!
What had the two of them been up to?
