Chapter 45: Chapter 45: That Girl Does Have Something Special

Just as everyone was staring wide-eyed trying to see clearly through the limited camera angles, the livestream screen suddenly went dark, turning black in milliseconds.

In that moment, who knows how many people were so angry they almost smashed their tablets or phones.

Meanwhile in reality, Jiang Lingxi looked at the program crew member on the opposite side who hadn’t managed to slip away, then lowered her head at the fat rabbit lying at her feet, barely clinging to life, creating an awkward scene.

In the end, the crew member couldn’t withstand the pressure, "Ms. Jiang, umm, this, umm..."

Seeing him stammering, Jiang Lingxi interrupted, "This rabbit is mine now, right?"

The crew member couldn’t help but wipe his face with his hand, trying hard to put on a somewhat natural expression, nodding, "Well, it was meant for the guests anyway."

Considering it was just the first day of the show, the guests hadn’t yet ventured deep into the jungle, and the evening tractor noise had already scared away the few small animals near the jungle edge, Li Shuo had a rare moment of conscience.

Seizing the moment when the guests were resting, he placed one or two small animals near each drop-off point, so the guests would have an easier time.

This was all planned well, but who would have guessed they’d encounter someone who played by their own rules.

Just as the animal landed, an icy arrow suddenly shot through the night, piercing the rabbit that was still trying to hop away, chilling it to the core.

It also startled the crew member who hadn’t had time to leave, causing cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

This was truly unexpected for everyone.

Seeing the accompanying cameraman’s lens about to capture the animal-delivering crew member, Li Shuo could only temporarily suppress his shock and quickly instructed those managing the livestream to temporarily interrupt the broadcast.

And that’s why people watching the livestream suddenly experienced the black screen.

Jiang Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "Director Li is really considerate."

She swore she was being absolutely sincere with that remark.

But the crew member only forced a smile at this, "Well, it’s what we should do. Ms. Jiang, may I leave now?"

Jiang Lingxi straightforwardly let him go, "Sure, take care and thank you for your hard work."

Her concern was also definitely genuine.

What a good person delivering food!

The crew member left with a face full of helplessness and tears.

Meanwhile, he silently resolved to drop the animals further away from the guests’ drop-off points next time.

He never wanted to experience such a situation again in his life.

When the livestream resumed, people who held on without sleeping, determined to see what happened next, clenched their teeth and stared intently at the screen.

The barrage was full of complaints directed at the program crew.

"The livestream cut out at the critical moment, can’t the program crew do anything right? If not, let me handle it!"

"I almost smashed my brand-new pear phone!"

"I got so mad I swore, waking up my wife, and now she’s giving me a hard time. Program crew, can’t you be decent human beings?"

...

Li Shuo looked at the barrage area and touched his nose, mentally cursing the instigator as well.

He didn’t dare complain aloud because he couldn’t stop thinking about that cold, decisive arrow earlier.

That girl Jiang Lingxi definitely has some skills.

On camera, once Jiang Lingxi noticed the accompanying cameraman nod to her, she finally bent over, reached out, and picked up a pair of rabbit ears.

Only then did everyone finally see what that arrow had hit earlier.

The livestream platform’s protection mechanism automatically blurred the bloody scene of the arrow piercing the rabbit, but it didn’t stop the audience from recognizing Jiang Lingxi’s prey and the arrow still sticking out prominently.

"So it was a rabbit."

"I see, in such dim light, and wild rabbits are much more alert than domestic ones. Jiang Lingxi hitting it with one shot, I can finally understand why she chose a bow and arrow earlier."

"I initially thought she was being overconfident, but now I see how ignorant I was."

"Finally, someone in the entertainment circle who’s good at archery. Looks like Jiang Lingxi isn’t as useless as everyone says."

Of course, there were also those who refused to believe and chose to be skeptical.

"Doesn’t anyone think it’s a bit fishy that the livestream cut out just now? I don’t believe Jiang Lingxi is that skilled, I think it’s more likely she and the program crew were secretly helping each other."

"Finally, someone questions it. I’ve done archery myself, and I know how difficult it would be to hit with that arrow earlier. Even seasoned veterans of decades might not hit it, so how could Jiang Lingxi?"

...

Seeing the barrage area inexplicably heating up for a debate.

"Director, should we control this?"

Li Shuo waved his hand, "No need. Let them doubt if they want to, the show will run for a week. Jiang Lingxi won’t just make a move this once."

"That’s true, so we’ll just leave it be?"

"Leave it."

So as people in the livestream argued back and forth, the keyword [Can Jiang Lingxi really shoot arrows] quietly climbed to the bottom of the trending list and silently began to ferment.

Jiang Kaiyuan, arms crossed, was sleeping soundly when he suddenly couldn’t resist sniffing the air.

The enticing aroma penetrated every corner, silently wrapping around him. In his dream, he saw a roasted suckling pig dripping with juicy oils in front of him. Just as he was about to dig in, he reached out to grab it and came up empty-handed, quickly waking up with a start.

Opening his eyes, he saw the fireplace from before he went to sleep, but now there seemed to be something extra above it.

The aroma he smelled in his dream was coming from above there.

He rubbed his eyes with his hand, and the thing was still there.

"Xixi, what’s this..."

"Awake," Jiang Lingxi patted the ash off her hands, replying briefly, "Meat."

Jiang Kaiyuan’s mouth slowly opened wide enough to hold an egg, but he didn’t forget to swallow his drool.

Phew, it smelled so good!

The drowsiness was driven away by the power of the food, Jiang Kaiyuan stood up and circled the rack holding the roasted rabbit three times before his brain started functioning again.

"Xixi, where did this rabbit come from?"

Jiang Lingxi patted the arrows she had placed next to her that were cleaned and waiting to dry.

Jiang Kaiyuan followed her hand, looking at the arrow intently for a few seconds, "You, you shot it with a bow and arrow?"

"Let’s see you catch one bare-handed."

Jiang Kaiyuan then went through a mental journey from disbelief to skepticism to having no choice but to believe.

He was even itching to try it himself.

However, Jiang Lingxi spotted his intention in advance and resolutely refused to lend out her bow.

The bow was something she had tuned herself in her spare time, and if someone else touched it, she’d have to adjust it all over again.

Besides, once something was in her hands, even if it was just a bow, only she could use it.

That’s just how dominant she was.

Jiang Kaiyuan’s attempts at acting cute and pleading were useless, so he reluctantly gave up.

The audience in the livestream couldn’t help but feel indignant for him.

"It’s just a bow provided by the show, what’s the harm in lending it for a bit? Jiang Lingxi is being a little too petty."

"Didn’t you see that Kaiyuan even tried being cute? If he tried that with me, forget the bow, I’d give him my life."

"As a professional here, let me explain for Jiang Lingxi, the bow was probably tuned specifically. Everyone’s habits with a bow are different, people who know what they’re doing will adjust the bow to their comfort level for better accuracy. Typically, archers never just let others use their bows."

"That’s true for professional archers, is Jiang Lingxi that professional? If she’s so professional, why not represent the country in competitions?"

"Is being contentious like this fun for the front row?"

But this time, the livestream didn’t spiral into an argument like before, because the rabbit was ready!

Kaiyuan the Supporter makes a grand entrance!
