Chapter 34
Taking Part in a Survival Game with My Brother
Hearing that Qin Yitan and Wen Jian had completed their mission and gained more points, Lin Xinmeng and Zhou Moli was even more anxious.
âIs that all the mission?â Lin Xinmeng asked, puzzled.
âCleaning up the garbage by the sea is equivalent to completing the other two missions,â Zhou Moli analyzed.
Heavy metals, acidic and alkaline substances, chemical fertilizers, and pesticide residues belong to the category of marine waste.
Lu Yang was the first to solve mission 7, so she received the complete mission 7.
âThen, why did Lu Yang give up the mission?â
Lin Xinmeng was highly perplexed.
Even though Lu Yang did not compete for anything, she wouldnât let go of things that belonged to her.
âDid Lu Yang really change? She will just let it be?â she wondered.
Zhou Moli paid no heed to Lin Xinmengâs confusion and glanced at Lu Yang and Lu Mingyuâs figures with his eyes lowered.
âSince mission 7 has been completed, letâs not waste any more time on it,â he said after a moment of silence.
Zhou Moli took out the drawing for mission 3 and racked his brains, but he still couldnât figure out what the painting meant.
Now, Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu had unlocked mission 7 and earned 5 points, while Wen Jian and Qin Yitan had completed mission 7 and earned 10 points.
Although their group was the first to find the clue, they could still not solve it.
Zhou Moli had fallen behind from the start, so he had to work harder and catch up.
Lu Mingyu was not depressed that Qin Yitanâs team got extra points, but it ignited his curiosity again.
âYangyang, why arenât we doing mission 7?â
In the comments, many people said that Lu Yang was a young lady who valued cleanliness and that picking up trash was an insult to her.
However, Lu Mingyu had never thought about it in this way.
Lu Yang stared blankly at the bamboo, thinking about how to deal with it.
When she heard Lu Mingyuâs question, she looked up and was stunned for a moment. Lu Yang blinked and asked, âMission 7 isnât completed yet, is it?â
âEh? Didnât you finish it?â Lu Mingyu was confused.
Lu Yang raised her watch, âLook, mission 7 is still not completed.â
On her watchâs page, mission 7âs bottle of water was only two-thirds full, and the remaining one-third was empty.
The others only remembered what the program team said. No one thought of studying the watch.
They all followed the mission prompt tone and did not expect the mission to stack up like a buff.
âThe clues are all given out. What other missions are there?â
Lu Mingyu rubbed his chin and lowered his eyes, looking like he was deep in thought.
Lu Yang didnât notice his mumbling.
The fish had been hanging there for some time, and her top priority now was to deal with it.
Lu Yang split the bamboo tube in half and was about to boil the sea when a voice came behind him.
âLu Yang, can I borrow your harpoon?â
Lu Yang turned around and saw Wen Jian with a high ponytail and a pleading look in her eyes.
âWhy would Lu Yang lend it to her? Yesterday, Lin Xinmeng asked her for it, but she refused. Wen Jian is still too naive.â
âWen Jian is too nice. Thatâs why she thinks that everyone is easy to talk to.â
Lu Yang glanced at the harpoon and turned back. Before she could say anything, Qin Yitan walked over with the nouveau riche aura.
âWeâll trade something for your harpoon!â
His expression seemed to say that she should be grateful since he was going to exchange something for it.
Qin Yitanâs confident demeanor made Lu Yang look as if she was the one who offered to trade.
Lu Yang glanced at Qin Yitan. When the camera couldnât capture it, she smirked.
Immediately, she smiled. âThank you, but we wonât be exchanging. â
The initiative was in her hands, not theirs.
Qin Yitanâs eyebrows shot up high. He stated arrogantly, âWe can give you anything you want as long as you give us the harpoon.â
âNo,â Lu Yang replied.
Her voice was calm, but her tone was unquestionable.
The rage in Qin Yitanâs heart was palpable. He had finally made up his mind to trade with her, but Lu Yang did not know what was best for her.
Lu Yang was clearly relatively easy to talk to at the start, so Lu Mingyu must have said something.
âI thought Lu Mingyuâs sister would be different but isnât she the same? Just like her brother, sheâs brainless,â he mused.
Qin Yitan silently mocked Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu in his heart.
Wen Jian glared at him.
Lu Yang was already prepared to lend her the harpoon, but he had to interfere. In the end, it had the opposite effect.
Sure enough, one should not be afraid of a strong opponent but an incompetent teammate.
Qin Yitan ground his teeth and said, âWhat do I have to do for you to change your harpoon?â
Lu Yangâs smile bloomed from the corner of her eyes.
...
Qin Yitan had a bad feeling.
âIs Lu Yang taking this opportunity to take revenge on Qin Yitan? Sheâs really too stingy.â
âEven if Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu are siblings, they must be equally narrow-minded. Itâs just that Qin Yitan is pitiful. Heâs being envied because he defeated Lu Mingyu and won the award.â
âCan some people in the comments not be so saintly? The harpoon is Lu Yangâs. She can exchange it if she wants to. If she doesnât want to, she can keep it. What does it have to do with you?â
Lu Yang looked at Qin Yitan with her bright black eyes. She smiled brightly, and her red lips moved slowly.
âThereâs no need to exchange. Weâll give it to you.â
âW-What? Give it to me?â Qin Yitan thought, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
He recalled the last time he did a handstand to apologize and suppressed the shock and joy in his heart.
âAre you making a joke again?â Qin Yitan asked tentatively.
âNo,â Lu Yang replied.
Qin Yitan was even more confused.
...
If she wasnât joking, then she must be serious.
They were so kind as to give him the harpoon. Could it be that they had secretly sprinkled poison on it?
Were they preparing to poison him?
Qin Yitan glanced at Lu Mingyu, who was beside him, to see his reaction.
Lu Mingyu looked back at him coldly. âThe harpoon is my sisterâs. I wonât interfere in what she does with it.â
Qin Yitanâs expression changed. He could not figure out what the siblings were thinking.
Why did she give him a harpoon so kindly?
âLu Mingyuâs expression is really gloomy. Heâs always pulling a long face as if someone owes him eight million dollars. â
âThere are always people who have problems with everyone, but they never think that the problem is actually with themselves.â
âThe one who slandered Lu Yang earlier, do you still remember your iconic line? Why are you contradicting yourself?â
Wen Jian nudged Qin Yitan, who was like a block of wood, with her elbow.
Lu Yang had already said he would give it to her, so why was he still standing there?
âThis guy really isnât in his right mind,â Wen Jian thought.
âThank you so much!â
Wen Jian took the harpoon and said gratefully, âWeâll just borrow it, and weâll return it to you after weâre done!â
Then, she held the harpoon in one hand and patted Qin Yitanâs arm with the other. âLetâs go!â
Lu Mingyu did not like Qin Yitanâs actions but he respected Lu Yangâs choice.
After seeing Qin Yitanâs expression, Lu Yang was even more delighted.
âMingyu.â She said to Lu Mingyu, âYou handle the fish. Iâll start a fire and boil the seawaterâ
Lu Mingyu questioned, âBoil the seawater?â
