Chapter 31

“Snakes are so cute. How can you eat them?”

“Guys, I’ll go vomit first! ”

Lu Yang used a wooden stick to pick up the snake. When she heard what she said, she glanced at Lin Xinmeng and said, “Why don’t I give it to you to make a necklace? ”

“You... don’t have to... exaggerate.”

“A snake hanging on my neck?” Lin Xinmeng thought.

Just thinking about it made her shiver.

Lu Yang took a step closer to Lin Xinmeng. “Before I kill it, I’ll let you play with it for two hours. You can play with it like a pet.”

Lin Xinmeng, who was looking at the snake up close, gasped and took two steps back.

“No... I feel there’s no need to kill it, right?”

Lu Yang responded, “Since you like it so much, I’ll give it to you. It’ll make you look cute.”

“I...”

The hair on Lin Xinmeng’s neck stood up. After much stammering, she finally got out a phrase. “You can let it return to nature, but don’t kill it. It’s so cute. Yes, cute!”

The last repetition seemed to be brainwashing herself.

Lu Yang took another step forward. “It can’t escape the fate of being caught if I let it go. Why don’t you take it back so you can raise it and protect it? It will definitely be very grateful to you. Perhaps some related organizations will see your kind behavior and give you the title of human snake ambassador.”

She was right, and Lin Xinmeng couldn’t think of any other way to refute her.

“I still have matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first!”

Looking at the approaching snake, Lin Xinmeng felt goosebumps all over her skin and ran away helplessly.

“Big Sister Yang specializes in treating all kinds of pretentious people!”

“Does Lu Yang know that people are now addressing her as a big sister instead of a little sister? Also, Lu Yang’s widow’s peak is so pretty!”

“Don’t let the time of birth restrict you. Raise the flag high and shout: “Lu Yang is our big sister!”

“Lin Xinmeng is going for wool and coming home shorn. This story tells us not to mess with a girl who catches a snake with her bare hands.”

Lu Yang lowered her head. She killed the snake seriously, unaffected by Lin Xinmeng’s comments.

After killing the snake, she had to chop off its head and bury it.

Otherwise, if someone were to walk around without shoes and accidentally step on it, they might be poisoned by mistake.

Despite being ubiquitous reptiles, lizards and snakes have few edible components. They had to be skinned and had their organs taken out before cooking.

The process was troublesome, and it would take a lot of effort to clean them up.

Lu Yang thought momentarily, and her brows furrowed before relaxing. “Forget it.”

This place was close to the mountains and the sea, so there were many things to eat. There was no need to waste time on a troublesome snake.

After making her decision, Lu Yang took care of the snake she had killed to ensure that no one would be harmed.

Lu Yang once again walked into the jungle alone. The program team had arranged for an aerial camera to follow her this time. The viewers in the live broadcast were curious about what she was doing there.

The wind blew across Lu Yang’s face, and she could smell the refreshing scent of the forest.

The viewers entered the jungle with her in an immersed manner.

Lu Yang looked around. After walking a few meters, she occasionally bent down to pick up a willow branch. She weighed it in her hand before throwing it away.

In the end, Lu Yang picked up a 35-centimeter-long willow pole and a wooden fork that was hard enough.

Lu Yang tied most of the fork’s length to the willow branch to make a tool strong enough and not fall apart when in use.

“What is this? A harpoon? Is Lu Yang going to fish?”

Lu Yang took the tools and walked outside.

Qin Yitan and Wen Jian were still picking up trash along the sea.

Qin Yitan sneered when she saw Lu Yang and the tools in her hands. “She wouldn’t be so delusional as to think of using a stick to stab a fish, would she?”

His tone and eyes were full of ridicule.

“Just like what happens on TV?” Wen Jian asked.

Qin Yitan continued to sneer. “Look at how weak she is. It’s good enough that the fish are not chasing her. She’s overestimating herself by trying to catch the fish.”

Qin Yitan could no longer care about his character image because picking up trash had worn away his patience. He just wanted to ridicule her right now.

“Brother Yitan is right! Lu Yang looked like a pampered child. How could she know how to spear a fish? That’s impossible!”

“I swear if Lu Yang catches a fish, I... won’t eat fish for the rest of my life!”

“Yitan is so handsome! Yitan, you are my god!”

The paid commentators were endless, and they were all praising Qin Yitan.

Wen Jian looked at the bag of trash in her hand. She had never expected to appear on a variety show to pick up trash.

The more she thought about it, the more magical it became.

“The others aren’t picking up trash. Are you sure this will work?” Wen Jian asked.

When Lu Yang told them the mission, Qin Yitan rushed forward as if he was picking up money instead of trash.

Wen Jian did not know about the award behind the variety show and could not understand Qin Yitan’s actions.

Qin Yitan flicked his hair. “If Lu Yang and the others said it’s true, it must be true.”

Wen Jian frowned.

...

“Don’t worry, let’s pick it up first.”

When Qin Yitan heard Lu Yang say, “pick up trash,” he suddenly remembered that he had overheard the director mention the word “trash” before.

Qin Yitan felt that what he was holding was not a bag full of trash but his bright future.

Now, he was already fantasizing about standing on the most prominent international stage of authority and being interviewed by top media from countless countries.

Wen Jian heaved a long sigh of relief and continued with the garbage collection project.

Knowing that many fish were foraging in the shallow water, Lu Yang held a spear-like harpoon and waited for the fish to come into her sight.

She focused her attention on the clear water.

If it weren’t for the item in Lu Yang’s hand, she would have thought she was looking into a mirror.

When the fish swam past the shore, Lu Yang quickly threw a harpoon at the fish from a vertical angle and nailed it.

Her swift movements and her solemn expression made the viewers in the live-streaming room hold their breath.

In the camera, the ripples on the water gradually disappeared, and the fish was firmly nailed. Everyone was dumbfounded.

...

“W-What a big fish!”

“Don’t tell me this young girl is an international contestant. She’s fast, accurate, and ruthless. It makes me feel like I’m that fish.”

“As expected, promises are meant to be broken. I still like to eat fish.”

Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli had also unlocked mission 7, but there was another message displayed on it.

However, they didn’t tell anyone.

Zhou Moli said, “Lu Yang’s mission 7 is to dispose of the garbage on the sea and solve the pollution. On the other hand, we got the search and processing of heavy metal and acidic substances.”

“Both of them are related to ocean pollution,” he analyzed.

Lin Xinmeng had just finished talking to the system when she heard Zhou Moli’s words. “Do Qin Yitan and Wen Jian have different missions?”

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Moli slowly said, “Maybe.”

“Let’s make a deal with them.”

Lin Xinmeng turned around to look for Qin Yitan and Wen Jian, but someone attracted her attention.

She narrowed her eyes. The people in her line of sight became more evident, including the thing in the girl’s hand.

The shape, the color, the size, the number...

It was a fish.

It was three big fish!
