BXBX NOVEL Chapter 20
“From today onward, the price of the accommodation at the supply station will be restored to the normal price of five points per person.
“In addition, considering the difficulty of decrypting the questions, the production team has set up another set of mission system overnight to help travelers obtain points.”
On a new board, there were a few words written—”The Rainforest Survival Plan”.
[Build 1 rainforest straw hut according to instructions: 80 points]
[Shoot 1 bird with bow and arrow: 10 points]
[Catch 1 fish: 1 point]
…
There were many similar missions with reduced problem-solving elements. In contrast, it became a test of hands-on ability. There was guidance for every step, which was much friendlier and easier for them to complete.
The people in Bai Xi’s group heaved a sigh of relief.
These were all things that could be accomplished with physical strength, and this was when the advantage of number of people could be seen.
On Bai Lin’s side, there were only four of them. Two of them were Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo, who had never worked hard before, and the other was the weak and useless Jin Ran. No matter how strong Bai Lin was, no matter how fast she could solve the questions, she could not do it alone. She could not compare to them.
This was the right way to go.
Bai Xi looked over at Bai Lin. Zhou Guang and Yan Ruo were like two glowing presences. Just by standing there, their auras were different from others.
Her gaze darkened and she said in a soft voice, “Jiejie, today’s mission seems to be very difficult. Do you want me to help you?”
Bai Lin smiled. “It’s fine. I’ve already found someone to help.”
The director stood out in time. “Witnessed by our production team last night, Bai Lin’s group has lent Bai Xi’s group eight points. As an additional condition, Bai Shao has to help Bai Lin’s group for a day.”
Bai Shao stepped forward and walked toward Bai Lin’s group. Fan Zhi could not help but complain, “Why didn’t you discuss with us before you use the points? Are these owed points considered our group’s or yours? Besides, there’s so much physical labor today, and we’re giving Bai Shao who’s also a source of labor force to someone else?”
Bai Xi frowned slightly and glanced at Fan Zhi, hesitant to speak. Fan Feng was an ardent fan of Bai Xi, so he immediately retorted, “That’s enough. Didn’t you see how my Xixi-jie has been bitten by mosquitoes? Besides, it was so late at night and everyone was asleep. Who can they discuss it with?”
Zhao Yuan sighed, “I’m sorry on behalf of our Xiao Lin. I didn’t teach her well and cause her to be so stubborn. She doesn’t understand the ways of the world at all, which led to all these misunderstandings.”
Did that mean that Bai Lin should have given her the points unconditionally last night to be considered tactful?
She was still blaming all the mistakes on Bai Lin. Just like when Bai Lin returned home when she was eight years old, she did not receive her mother’s love; instead, she received endless neglect, blaming, discrimination, and contempt.
Fan Zhi was clear-headed. “How do we calculate the points?”
Bai Xi was a little annoyed. It was already annoying to hold herself back from scratching those itchy places. “We’ll talk about it later. Bai Lin’s side has already started. Should we hurry up?”
Fan Feng looked at her in surprise.
This was not how the soft and delicate Bai Xi spoke.
Bai Xi raked her hair and suppressed the burning annoyance. She said slowly, “Feng-ge, let’s complete the mission together.”
“O-oh, okay.”
Fan Feng was rarely looked at properly by Bai Xi along the way. Now that his goddess had spoken more to him, he was so overjoyed that he quickly followed her.
Jiang Han was Lin Shu’s wife. She had felt that something was wrong with her face since she woke up early in the morning. When the Coral Mushrooms touched her face, the heart-piercing itch became even more difficult to ignore.
The Lin Family, the Jin Family, Bai Xi, and Zhao Yuan entered the rainforest, while the Fan Family stayed where they were to solve the questions. Jiang Han stumbled over the scattered branches on the ground and walked over to ask Bai Xi, “Xiao Xi, there’s no problem with the mushrooms, right? Why do I feel my skin itch so much?”
There were a lot of bamboos in the area. As Bai Lin raised her knife and cut the bamboos, she looked at them and said kindly, “Many of the natural plants have to be processed before they can be used. I suggest that you stop using the mushrooms for now. Go to the production team and get some sunblock.”
Zhao Yuan also felt the itch, but she did not agree with Bai Lin’s opinion. She sneered, “Are you offering the points?”
