"!!!"
"!!!!!!"
"Argh! Damn it, didn't Sister Zhou say she learned survival skills? She couldn't even recognize a poisonous berry?"
"I'm so mad, so mad! We've even got fire, and she's going to be eliminated? What a waste!"
"I'm so frustrated, I'm so frustrated, my brother in the morgue is about to be angered back to life!"
"You think you're miserable? My mom was so anxious, she slapped my thigh, and now my leg is crippled."
The bullet screen showed the audience's reactions.
They were all very regretful.
What a shame, the competition hadn't even lasted half a morning, and Zhou Niannian was already eliminated.
Lin Yang felt a bit down.
He actually quite liked the pairing of Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian; at least he found it hilarious whenever Zhou Niannian was so angry she'd stomp her feet.
Zhou Ye, however, noticed something was amiss.
"Jiang Fan's previous performance didn't seem like someone who knew nothing."
"If these berries were really problematic, he would have said something."
He spotted the loophole almost immediately.
Lin Yang also turned his gaze to the computer.
In the livestream, Jiang Fan, who had been ignored, was quietly watching Zhou Niannian.
Zhou Niannian, who had finally overcome her awkwardness, felt her heart start to race as she was stared at.
She took another bite of the berry, stammering.
"You, you, why are you looking at me?"
"Nothing."
Jiang Fan glanced at the wild berries scattered at her feet, his expression becoming meaningful.
"You're quite lucky."
"Of course! I'm an Emperor-level luck, a Koi incarnate, alright!!!"
Zhou Niannian was very confident, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong.
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"These berries, except for the one you're eating now, all the others are poisonous."
As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze and focused on the boiling water in front of him.
"???"
Zhou Niannian stared blankly at Jiang Fan, her chewing motion halting.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
She finally reacted, holding up the berry she was eating, then looking at the scattered red berries on the ground.
She had been so proud of finding so many berries just moments ago.
And it turned out they were all poisonous?!
Zhou Niannian sprang up as if electrocuted, and still not satisfied, she spat out multiple times, spitting out all the pulp in her mouth that she hadn't swallowed before stopping.
But after she calmed down, she became suspicious again.
"You, you... are you lying to me?"
This was Zhou Niannian's first thought.
After all, he had tricked her before.
She had previously complained that he couldn't possibly start a fire, so it wouldn't be strange if he tried to trick her again because of it.
However, Jiang Fan made a gesture of invitation.
"Then you can try."
His words completely extinguished any ideas Zhou Niannian might have had.
*Try?*
*How could she try?*
*It's clearly a 'try and die' situation!*
Since he had said they were poisonous, how could she dare to touch them?
Thinking this, Zhou Niannian glared at Jiang Fan and, gritting her teeth, kicked the berries at her feet to the side.
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Fan asked curiously.
"When you said you had experience before, you weren't just watching videos, were you?"
"You didn't have premium membership, so you could only watch the first two minutes of each episode, with 90 seconds of ads and 30 seconds of recap?"
Jiang Fan could swear he wasn't deliberately mocking her when he said that. He had genuinely encountered people like that before.
Relying on a superficial understanding learned from videos, they would boldly direct others.
And in the end, they would naturally lead the team to ruin.
Precisely because he had seen all sorts of people, Jiang Fan felt that even if Zhou Niannian was such a person, he wouldn't be surprised at all.
But after Zhou Niannian realized what he had said, she looked like a pufferfish that had been inflated.
Her cheeks puffed out, her hands clenched into fists, raised and then lowered.
She looked like she wanted to hit him but didn't dare, stamping her feet in anger!
"What's wrong with learning from videos? Did I eat your rice?"
Her reaction made Jiang Fan chuckle.
To appease his teammate, he nodded.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right."
Seeing her expression escalate into further anger, Jiang Fan felt confused as to why his teammate was getting even angrier.
Jiang Fan frowned in confusion.
Even without speaking, his expression conveyed everything.
Although he hadn't said anything, it felt like he had said it all.
Zhou Niannian felt a surge of blood rush to her head.
Her body trembled, and she endured it fiercely for a moment, feeling like she was about to explode.
"Argh! Why doesn't this competition allow us to kill teammates!!!"
A piercing scream broke through the sky, startling the birds in the forest to fly away.
In the livestream, the audience had already exploded due to their interaction.
"Low damage, high insult. What a straight man Jiang Fan, hahaha!"
"But Sister Zhou is truly amazing, picking all the poisonous berries. And she ate the only non-poisonous one. Such luck!"
"Help, he's so good at insulting. Did you learn that from the first two minutes of the video? The one with 1.5 minutes of ads and 30 seconds of recap?"
"I'm dying of laughter. I feel like he really isn't doing it on purpose, but to make Sister Zhou this angry, he's a talent, truly!"
"I knew it, he'd definitely recognize it. Brother Jiang will definitely be number one in survival!"
"Great, they're not eliminated, and I have more entertainment."
The audience laughed heartily, almost choking with laughter at Zhou Niannian's silly and cute performance.
While complaining about Zhou Niannian, they kept sending gifts.
Rocket after rocket, plane after plane filled the screen.
This fully demonstrated the audience's enthusiasm for this pair of contestants.
In the studio, Lele was already laughing heartily, leaning on the table.
She clutched her stomach, unable to stop.
After laughing for a full five minutes, Lele finally recovered, tears welling up in her eyes.
She carefully dabbed her eyes with a tissue, her voice weak but still filled with laughter.
"I never imagined that Sister Zhou would actually pick the only edible one."
"But, don't they need to find food again now?"
"Both of them must be expending a lot of energy now."
"Compared to other contestants, they have fire and water, which are advantages. But they still need to prepare a shelter, and there's a lot they need to do."
Bear Grylls also nodded and added.
"It would be best if they could get some meat."
"However, in the rainforest, it's a struggle for survival, and hunting is very difficult."
"Traps can be used to lure prey out, but most of the time it's in vain and requires patience."
He was about to share some tips on rainforest hunting when he saw a sudden change on the screen.
Zhou Niannian, still angry, glared at Jiang Fan.
He suddenly picked up a thin, sharp twig from beside him.
He pointed it towards Zhou Niannian and flicked his wrist.
Without aiming deliberately, he threw it.
The twig flew like an arrow from a bow, even producing a whistling sound.
'Whoosh,' it grazed Zhou Niannian's ear.
She instinctively turned her head to look.
When she saw the state of the tree behind her, her body went numb, and her blood ran cold.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
