Chapter 39

Before night fell, Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng used their presbyopic glasses to start a fire again.

On the other hand, Wen Jian borrowed fire from Lu Yang and started a bonfire near her own tent.

Following the double-standard incident where Lu Yang lent her fire to Wen Jian instead of Lin Xinmeng, a group of netizens who claimed to be their high school classmates poured into the live broadcast room and talked about what they had seen and heard.

“Is Lu Yang jealous that Lin Xinmeng is on the same team as Zhou Moli?”

“I’m Lu Yang and Lin Xinmeng’s high school classmate. They’ve been at loggerheads since high school. Lu Yang hates Lin Xinmeng. After all, Lin Xinmeng has done many things to offend Lu Yang.”

“I’m from their high school too. I heard that Lin Xinmeng often reported Lu Yang for having dealings with gangsters outside the school, causing her to read a self-reflection report in front of the entire school! ”

“Lu Yang, isn’t she with the school bully from First High? She’s the tyrant who climbed over the wall to fight, broke the wall, and had a tattoo on her arm.”

“Oh, it seems like Lin Xinmeng even reported to the teacher, saying that Lu Yang and a bully are in a relationship!”

Lin Xinmeng absent-mindedly threw a branch into the fire and secretly watched Lu Yang’s every move.

In her past life, from when she graduated high school to when she was with Zhou Moli, she had never seen Lu Yang.

And now, Lu Yang was standing right in front of her.

What was the reason for this sudden change?

“Yangyang, look, this pearl is glowing.”

Lu Mingyu showed Lu Yang the pearl he found today between his thumb and fingers.

Lu Yang raised her head, and her gaze fell on the pearl shining with a blue light in the night. “It’s quite scary.”

“Don’t tell me Lu Yang is allergic to romance. How is such a beautiful pearl scary!?”

The night wind blew past the treetops, and the rustling sounds mixed with the whimpers and cries of animals came from the forest’s depths to her ears.

Lu Yang’s eyebrows moved, and she turned her head to look at the dark entrance of the forest.

When Lu Yang went in today, she noticed several scratches on the grass and trees from sharp nails. It seemed messy and disordered.

This place had been abandoned as a deep mountain forest for many years, and wild beasts should have left those traces behind.

And it seemed like there was more than one type of wild beast.

“Yangyang.” Lu Mingyu saw that she was standing there as if her soul had left her body and her expression grave. He asked worriedly, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

“No.”

Lu Yang smiled at him, and Lu Mingyu’s tensed heart finally relaxed.

“That’s good. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me. The show is not a big deal, but your health is a big deal.”

“All right,” she responded.

Lu Yang thought about it and gathered everyone around the campfire. She suggested they work together to complete the mission as soon as possible and leave this place.

Qin Yitan was the first to object. “If we complete the mission together, who will get the points?”

“The points will go to everyone. Lu Yang stated, “You don’t have to worry about that.”

Lin Xinmeng was puzzled. “The points will be given to everyone? I don’t think there’s such a rule in the program team.”

“The rules of the program team state that the points will be added to each member of the group, but they didn’t say that we can’t form a team,” Lu Mingyu repeated what Lu Yang had said to him earlier.

“Program team must be saying they didn’t say they could form a team right now.”

“Other programs are all about the program team playing with the guests, but this program is completely about the guests playing with the program team.”

“Hoho! If I team up with Sister Yang, wouldn’t I be carried?”

Wen Jian clapped her hands excitedly. “That seems to make sense! If we work together, everyone will get a share!”

“Who knows if you’re lying to us on purpose?” Qin Yitan uttered unhappily, “Are you trying to trick us into helping you complete the mission?”

“Lu Mingyu and Qin Yitan are working together? Oh my god, is it the end of the world? They actually want to complete the mission together!”

Lu Yang didn’t say anything. She just looked at Qin Yitan.

The former just looked at her and didn’t speak, while the latter felt uncomfortable being stared at.

“What the h*ll is up with this feeling of oppression?” Qin Yitan wondered.

Lin Xinmeng looked at the side of Zhou Moli’s face and asked in a gentle voice, “What do you think?”

After being called, Zhou Moli’s gaze landed on Lin Xinmeng for two seconds before moving to Lu Yang.

“I have no objections,” he answered.

Lin Xinmeng was shocked.

“Are we really going to be on the same team as Lu Yang?” she thought.

On the other hand, Zhou Moli’s idea was that since Lin Xinmeng and Lu Mingyu wanted to exchange information, they might as well do it openly.

Lu Yang was able to decrypt the clue and complete mission 7. If she didn’t have the ability, then she must have known about the mission long ago.

No matter what the situation was, the advantages of cooperation outweighed the disadvantages.

Wen Jian could not hide her guilty conscience. “We agree too!”

Lu Mingyu glanced sideways and said to Qin Yitan, “How about you?”

Qin Yitan was about to say no when Wen Jian turned around and glared at him with a warning.

“Zhou Moli and Lin Xinmeng both agreed to this. Do you want to form your own team if you don’t agree? ”

Qin Yitan’s words were stuck in his throat.

Wen Jian looked at Lu Yang and Lu Mingyu again, a smile on her face. “He also agreed.”

...

Since Zhou Moli had agreed, Lin Xinmeng naturally had no objections as well.

Lu Yang placed the branches on the fire. The fire grew bigger and brighter, lighting up the surroundings.

In the light of the fire, Zhou Moli took out the card drawing of mission 3 and showed it to them.

“This is the mission 3 I found on the first day.”

“It’s a drawing of a mushroom and orange.” Lin Xinmeng explained, “But we still haven’t figured out what it means. ”

Zhou Moli stated, “Previously, Lin Xinmeng said it might have something to do with direction. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with her train of thought. Take a look and see if you have any ideas.”

The card was passed to Wen Jian. She had just taken a look at it when she heard Zhou Moli’s voice. She looked at him and asked, “Which direction?”

“East, west, south, north.” Lin Xinmeng smiled with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes. “But I’m just randomly guessing, so I might not be right. ”

This was the answer she got from the system, and it was definitely correct.

However, she was afraid that others would ask why, so she could only say that it was a guess and might not be correct.

After the decryption, she might even be able to release a wave of announcements on how accurate Lin Xinmeng’s intuition was.

...

Qin Yitan pouted and looked at Lu Mingyu unhappily.

Suddenly, he thought of something and stated, “Lu Yang, since you’re so capable, you must know where the northwest direction is. Can you point it out to us?

However, Qin Yitan gave Lu Mingyu a provocative look from the corner of his eye.

He was trying to kill with flattery.

The moment Lu Mingyu looked at Qin Yitan, his face turned cold. He uttered indifferently, “Open your mouth and stay in the front, back, left, and right directions for 30 seconds. The direction where you can eat your fill is the northwest direction. ”

Qin Yitan did not know how to react. “Why is it northwest if I can eat my fill?”

Lu Mingyu answered, “Sometimes, the brain is like a computer. It’ll crash if you’re not careful. There’s no room for discussion. However, 99% of computer failures can be solved by restarting, while some people’s brains can never be cured.”

In terms of sarcasm, he had never lost.

Qin Yitan still did not understand, but he knew that Lu Mingyu’s words were definitely not good.

His face darkened, and his eyes were burning with anger. “I’m asking Lu Yang, not you!”

Lin Xinmeng saw Lu Yang take the card drawing and leaned his head toward her. “Lu Yang, do you see anything?”
