Chapter 552: Chapter 552: Branches, 20 Points Each, No More

Jiang Cheng smelled the scent and crawled out of the shed, but before he could get close, Jiang Li stopped him.

"What’s wrong?" he sniffed and asked.

"Aren’t you picky about your food? There’s no breakfast for you."

Jiang Cheng: !!!!!!!

"Why not?!"

Jiang Li directly handed him the snake meat wrapped in banana leaves.

"Then you can eat this."

Jiang Cheng: "...."

Furious, he crawled back into the shed, "Fine, don’t feed me, just let me starve to death and see how you explain it to Grandpa!"

Jiang Li ignored him and turned away.

Seeing this, Bai Lu looked at the shed with some concern, "Lili, is it really okay not to feed him? What if he really starves?"

Jiang Li took a sip of soup, speaking indifferently, "Don’t worry, people his age can go without food for two or three days with no problem."

"Huff-puff—"

The sound of Jiang Yan drinking soup came from across the way.

Not wanting to waste, he even licked the bowl clean, and seeing some scraps left in the pot, he scooped them out to finish them off.

Yu Li, sitting nearby, was silent for a while before looking towards Jiang Li.

"Are you three... really siblings?"

Jiang Li: "...."

She sighed.

"I wish we weren’t."

Inside the shed, having heard this remark, Jiang Cheng paused for a second.

Hadn’t Jiang Li always despised his illegitimate status and refused to acknowledge him in public?

And now she was claiming they were real siblings in front of others?

Was she... starting to view him the same way as Jiang Yan?

After breakfast, everyone started packing up.

Following Jiang Li’s gesture, the newly built banana leaf shed was dismantled, and the next second, Jiang Li was dialing the director’s phone.

"Are you collecting banana leaves and branches?"

He Pingzhang: "...."

"Banana leaves are 50 points each, branches 20 points each. Can’t offer more than that."

The audience looked at the pile of banana leaves and a bundle of branches: "...."

Your uncle is spoiling her!!!

[Seriously suspecting Director He has a crush on Jiang Li; he’s being way too generous!]

[Exactly, even banana leaves and branches can be exchanged for points, that’s just absurd.]

[Incredible, Lili is straight-up getting rich.]

Jiang Li also smiled with her eyes narrowed.

He Pingzhang was indeed very good to her.

Half an hour later, the banana leaves and branches were taken away, and her account was up by more than six hundred points.

"Now we can set off."

"Where to?" Shang Shuyue asked.

From the moment Jiang Li dismantled the banana leaf shed, she felt puzzled. It was wasteful to dismantle the shelter they went to great lengths to build after just one night, and it wouldn’t have been a problem to stay a few more days.

"This place isn’t very safe; large wild animals frequent it at night. We were lucky not to encounter any last night, but the same might not be the case this evening. To ensure safety, it’s better to find a better place."

Moreover, there was no water source nearby, so they couldn’t stay for long anyway.

She had already checked the local terrain and the movement of the large animals. Not far from here, there should be a water source, and they only needed to continue northward.

Several people had already put full faith in Jiang Li.

After all, it was Jiang Li who had led them to the cave before, and surely it would be the same now.

Thus, the group set off full of confidence.

Except for Jiang Cheng.

He had gone two meals without food and had not slept well the previous night. After doing horse stance exercises in the morning, his body was at its limit of exhaustion.

Yet, when he thought of the dreadful snake meat, he still shook his head in refusal.

However, the next second, a rope was tied around his wrist.

Jiang Cheng stood there dumbfounded, staring at Jiang Li, who was holding the other end of the rope.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Li said indifferently, "I’m afraid you might run off again, this is safer."

Jiang Cheng: ???????

He wasn’t a dog!!!!!!!!

[Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha my head’s falling off laughing ha ha ha ha ha.]

[I’m dying laughing ha ha ha ha this method is good.]

[I’m gonna do this too when I go out ha ha ha ha won’t have to worry about my son getting lost then?]

Seeing this, Jiang Yan excitedly came over.

"Little sister, let me hold the rope for a bit too?"

Jiang Li glanced at him.

"Scram."

...

...

"Sister Chen, our catch was quite good last night, the net is full of fish, we’ll have enough to eat several of them now."

"Fish again? I’ve eaten so much my body is practically oozing fishy smell; can’t we change it up a bit?"

"Xiao Chun, don’t be silly, the place we’re holding is eye-catching as it is; making too much noise might alert others, which wouldn’t be good. It’s better to stick to this lake than having nothing to eat at all, right?"

Seeing Sister Manman saying that, Ai Xiaochun finally pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

Guo Xing hurriedly handed her a cup of water, "Oh Xiao Chun, I get what you mean; we’ve all been eating fish for half a month, and I’m fed up too. But Xuan went out early this morning, he might come back with something different for you, so stop complaining."

Ai Xiaochun snorted and took the water, "Of course, after all, Ah Xuan is the one who spoils me the most."

They were among the earliest teams to arrive on the island.

Originally there were five people, but one of them started to have a fever not long after arriving on the island, and eventually could not hold on and dropped out.

She and Luo Xuan had just graduated from college. Both lacked significant backgrounds and came hoping to try their luck at making a fortune.

But their luck was indeed good, getting placed on such a team.

Team leader Chen Manman was a lawyer whose hobby was outdoor adventure. She led them deep into the island on the first day, and by the third day, they found this huge freshwater lake, where they’ve been surviving since.

The bespectacled boy next to her, though he didn’t have any special talents, had high EQ, knew how to mingle, and it was due to his presence that their team’s relations had remained good and they continued to survive.

From the beginning, they had never initiated an attack on other teams, relying solely on their starting points and the points they later received from ranking first among the advancing teams to maintain a mid-tier status.

As Sister Manman put it, being too conspicuous would draw a lot of targeting, being too far behind would make survival difficult, so a middle ground was just right to ensure sustainability all the way to the end.

So while other teams changed members, they managed to stay until now.

With each passing day, their hope of being first grew stronger.

After all, which other team could be as lucky as they were to have found such a large lake at the start?

Thinking of this, Ai Xiaochun smiled and handed the rest of the water to Chen Manman, then, wrapping her arm, started to chat.

That’s how they had gotten through the past week plus, and they just needed to hold out a bit longer.

An hour later, Luo Xuan ran back, panting.

Ai Xiaochun saw him from a distance, hurried over, and then took out a cloth from her pocket to wipe off the sweat on his forehead.

"Look at you, why run so desperately, getting all hot like this—"
