Chapter 10
“What the f*ck? Why do I remember that a minute ago, the tent in Lu Mingyu’s hand was countless times more ridiculous than unkempt?”
“What’s going on? Was he able to support it all at once? Four more corners would do. Woah! It’s done in the time it takes to type!”
“My professional friend told me that they took 2 minutes and 26 seconds for the tent-setting competition. This speed is so fast that it has broken the Guinness world record!”
“Is the show really a live broadcast? Or should it be recorded, edited, and then broadcast live? It’s impossible to live stream at this speed.”
“The h*ll! was the person who just entered the live broadcast room a Guinness world record expert? Are you sure you haven’t been hacked?”
“I’ve been single for a long time, so even the tent looks great to me now.”
“I’m feeling very conflicted right now.”
In the camera, Lu Yang’s soft black hair was dancing in the wind. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her eyes couldn’t be seen clearly. She was like a fragile and slender porcelain doll.
Her delicate beauty was enhanced by the fine sweat on her forehead as she stood in front of the tent.
Everyone was dumbfounded, including the program team. They had not expected such a situation to occur.
Lu Mingyu was stunned. He blinked his eyes. “Yangyang, have you learned how to set up a tent before? ”
“I’ve seen it on TV,” Lu Yang replied.
She originally didn’t know how to set up a tent, but the situation in the apocalypse changed, and she had to learn how to set up a tent to resist all kinds of sudden weather changes.
Her speed was also trained in the apocalypse.
“What kind of TV series has this kind of usefulness?!”
“I’m definitely going to show this video to my mom so that she won’t say that I’ve become stupid after watching too many TV shows! This is clearly very enlightening!”
Qin Yitan and Wen Jian were still setting up their tents. Qin Yitan, who had been mocking Lu Mingyu a second ago, was now agitated. “Let’s hurry up! They’re all done!”
Looking at Lu Yang’s almost perfect tent, Lin Xinmeng was like a drop of water hanging on a leaf, dragged down by gravity, but her heart was unwilling to give up.
“Could it be that Lu Yang knew all the missions in this variety show? Otherwise, why would she be so confident?” she mused.
“Lin Xinmeng.”
Lin Xinmeng hurriedly ran back when she heard Zhou Moli’s voice.
Zhou Moli was focused on his own matters and didn’t have the time to care about the situation of others. He only glanced at Lin Xinmeng and said, “Let’s go pick up some branches and start a fire to cook something to eat.”
“Sure!” Lin Xinmeng smiled like a flower.
There was a metal pot in the package that they had received, which could be used to cook food. This was something that the other groups did not have.
Qin Yitan was still setting up his tent. When he saw them enter the forest, he said in a panic, “Wen Jian, go and pick up some branches.”
“Huh?” Wen Jian was a little hesitant.
“Hurry! I can do it on my own!”
The resources here were limited, and it would be bad if they were all picked up by others.
Besides, this was a variety show with a mission. If someone else found the clues before them, they would be too late for regrets.
Seeing that he was frowning and almost about to yell, Wen Jian followed him into the forest.
Lu Mingyu was helping Lu Yang build a second tent. With the help of the clumsy Lu Mingyu, Lu Yang’s time for setting up the tent was greatly extended.
“Yangyang, you must be tired from setting up the tent. Take a rest. I’ll go find some dry branches.”
Lu Yang didn’t reject his suggestion.
The program team had already left the area, and only six of them were left.
Lu Yang tidied up the tent and opened the gift pack the program group had prepared. There weren’t many things inside, but they were still useful.
A small knife, a bundle of rope, a sack, a pair of glasses, two packs of compressed biscuits, a toothbrush, and toothpaste.
After all, Lu Mingyu was a famous celebrity, so the program group didn’t dare to offend him. The standard toiletries were not deducted.
This was a mountain forest near the sea, and the resources here were much more abundant than in the barren apocalypse.
Lu Yang played with the knife in her hand and walked to the other side of the forest.
“Huh? Guys, am I seeing things? Wasn’t the knife in her hand just now? Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?”
“You’re right! Where did the knife go? I didn’t see it anywhere!”
“I’ve looked at all the shots and found a small flaw! The knife is at her waist, and her coat is covering her waist!”
“Waist? Are you sure she won’t get hurt? This is a sharp blade!”
While the netizens were worried about Lu Yang, she had already returned with a bundle of grass.
“What is this?”
“Can this grass be eaten? What type of vegetable is it?”
“Sisters, you don’t know this. Let me teach you a little bit of science. This is mugwort, which can be used as a rake! Lu Yang is definitely trying to make a rake!”
“What rake? She took dry mugwort, which has the effect of repelling mosquitoes when burned. She’s clearly preparing for the night!”
Lu Yang placed the mugwort on the ground, and Lu Mingyu returned with some dried branches.
Qin Yitan’s group and Zhou Moli’s group were working hard to start a fire.
Zhou MolI was trying his best to drill a fire. Sweat was dripping from his forehead, and the fans were screaming wildly on the screen.
Finally, after two and a half hours, there was some smoke. Lin Xinmeng played the role of a fangirl by the side, occasionally praising and encouraging.
On the other hand, Qin Yitan and Wen Jian were still confused. The heat from the friction seemed to be ineffective on them.
...
Lu Mingyu held the piece of wood and said confidently, “Yangyang, watch me show you a magic trick.”
Lu Yang was speechless and wondered, “Does he really think I am a three-year-old child?”
“Starting a fire by rubbing is one way. Instead of exploring with clumsy tools, it’s better to change the method.”
Lu Mingyu looked up. “What method?”
“This one.”
Lu Yang took out the presbyopic glasses that everyone despised.
Lu Mingyu was confused.
Lu Yang moved the lens, and the lens gathered the rays of the sun. After a while, a leaf on the ground started to spark, and then it burst into beautiful sparks.
Lu Mingyu’s eyes were full of admiration.
“This is the principle of optics! Use the lens to start a fire!”
“That’s right, presbyopic glasses and magnifying glasses are both convex lenses that can gather the light of the sun to make fire. This is more advanced than rubbing to make fire!”
...
“Thank you, everyone. I’ve learned a lot. I never thought that I could learn physics from watching a live stream!”
“The others are too stupid. Isn’t this normal common sense? Don’t you have any intelligence?”
“Some people in the comments should not be so self-righteous. Just because you know it doesn’t mean that others know it. Even if you know it, you might not be able to use it well. Knowing it and actually using it are two different things. Besides, some people don’t even understand ordinary addition and subtraction. They’re proud of themselves without knowing a little bit of knowledge.”
The studio fell into a dead silence.
The program team members who were watching the real-time updates had different expressions.
“This is frigging possible?” all of them thought.
Just as Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng were in a state of ecstasy, they were petrified when they saw the bright flame.
Qin Yitan tried to start a fire with wood for a Long time but found nothing. When he saw that Lu Mingyu’s fire was getting stronger and stronger, he was dumbfounded.
“That’s amazing. He’s able to start a fire so quickly!” Wen Jian exclaimed.
Qin Yitan only felt a wave of regret.
He was there when the program team prepared the supplies.
Those presbyopic glasses were useless things Qin Yitan had specially prepared for Lu Mingyu. He was waiting to see Lu Mingyu get flustered and exasperated, and his image in front of the camera would be ruined.
After all was said and done, Qin Yitan did not expect that he would actually give Lu Mingyu something good. It was also really great stuff.
