It is not far from here to the farm in the suburbs, only about half an hour's drive.

During this half hour, unlike the warm and harmonious atmosphere of the two teams next door, the atmosphere of Lin Long's blue team was extremely subtle. It was so subtle that the cameraman following the car did not dare to speak at all and just kept filming.

But this wasn't a solution. Even though he was very unhappy, the show was still going live. At the very least, the group mission assigned to them by the production team had to be completed, no matter how well they did it.

Thinking this way, Fang Yuan reluctantly took the task card and studied it reluctantly.

In fact, the task is not difficult. The three designated dishes are all simple dishes, and the cooking methods are attached.

As long as you follow the path all the way to the central destination, you can go to the farm chicken farm to catch a chicken and dig up some vegetables, mushrooms, ginger and green onions for seasoning, etc. You can get them as they are clearly written on the task card, so you don't need to spend too much time on it.

"Who's going to catch the chicken then?"

After taking a rough look at the process, Fang Yuan knew what they were going to do later. Roast chicken was the main meat dish among the three dishes, so naturally the ingredients had to be ensured first. Out of habit, Fang Yuan subconsciously raised the question of "who is responsible for catching the chicken".

Of course, as the only man in the team, Fang Yuan had no intention of letting the ladies do the rough work, even though one of them was Lin Long, who made him very unhappy. However, he did not intend to let them do it, but planned to take care of it himself. He asked "Who will go?" out of habit, but after a while, he realized it and was about to change his words and said "I'll do it."

However, before he could speak, a female voice came over, pointing at him and saying, "Go ahead."

"It's better for Senior Zhang not to go. She just finished putting on such beautiful and elegant makeup. Going into the chicken farm like this will ruin her makeup. What a shame. It's better to keep it there to enjoy the view. Besides, catching chickens is not a job suitable for Senior Zhang."

Who else could have said this except Lin Long? Although Fang Yuan knew that what Lin Long said was right, and he had not originally intended to let Zhang Yi catch the chicken, if any member of the crew said this now, Fang Yuan would not think there was anything wrong with it.

But now, the person who said this happened to be Lin Long, the person he disliked the most. No matter how normal the words of someone he disliked were, he couldn't help but carry with him his own prejudices, and no matter how he listened to them, they just didn't taste right.

Therefore, when he heard Lin Long's normal words, it became "Lin Long ordered him to work"!

As a result, Fang Yuan's already bad expression became even uglier, and he said sarcastically with a stern face:

"You ordered me to go? Why don't you go?"

The tone of his voice and the expression on his face made it clear that he disliked Lin Long.

Lin Long had seen this kind of attitude many times in the past few days. It didn't bother her at all. She didn't even bother to change her expression. She leaned back, as if she hadn't heard the evil tone in Fang Yuan's words, and spoke directly:

"If you think so, I can't help it. Of course, I have no problem going. Although my left hand is wrapped like a seed and it's a bit inconvenient, it's not so bad that I can't even catch a chicken. It's just... I remember someone saying not long ago that only women have difficulties, and that men should 'take care' of me as a woman. Who said that?"

When he said the latter part, Lin Long looked directly at Fang Yuan without any concealment. The smile on his face was very clear. Wasn't that a retort to his previous words?

Anyone would know what Fang Yuan really meant when he said that before. It was not that he really wanted to "take care of" Lin Long, but rather to "look after" her. However, he did not expect that the other party would bring it up like this at this moment and use it to directly mock him.

Suddenly, the expression on Fang Yuan's face became even uglier.

But at this moment, in this situation, he couldn't think of anything to refute the other party, so he could only curse in frustration, his whole face a little dark.

In response to this, Lin Long suddenly laughed and said:

"I've already said that, although you're a bit ugly and don't quite match my aesthetic, I will begrudgingly cooperate with you since you took the initiative to form a team. In other words, while the team is still being formed, you don't need to worry about me turning on you or causing trouble. On the contrary, I will help the team win."

It won't give the team a chance to lose.

Of course, Lin Long didn’t really care about winning or losing. Even if she won or lost in this show, it wouldn’t bring her any benefits. There would be neither gold nor beauties, so what was there to care about?

But as a dragon cub, she has dignity. How can she lose as a dragon? Losing is a shame and it damages her reputation as a dragon, not to mention that her black dragon father is following behind her.

Her performance was all seen by Black Dragon's father. No matter what, she had to do it well, right? Otherwise, what would it look like?

Of course, Lin Long didn't think he would lose.

Thinking of this, Lin Long took the task card beside her and took a look at it. There were some marks that Fang Yuan had just drawn on it. After just a few glances, she understood Fang Yuan's plan and said directly:

"I'll be responsible for picking the mushrooms. It's farther from the main route, so it'll take longer. I'm a fast walker, so I can get there faster. We can just meet up at our destination."

As soon as Lin Long finished speaking, the blue team's car had already stopped steadily at the east entrance. Lin Long didn't say anything more, he got out of the car and was about to walk inside.

Just before Lin Long left, she suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and said to Fang Yuan:

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, although your appearance doesn't quite suit my aesthetic, your route plan is good. The route you arranged is very clear, and it's mostly shortcuts. That's it. See you at the meeting point in two and a half hours."

After saying that, Lin Long did not look back, but walked inside by herself humming a little tune. Not long after, she disappeared.

Only at this moment did Fang Yuan suddenly realize what Lin Long had just said to him, but he couldn't believe it and couldn't help but want to find someone to deny what he had just heard.

So, almost subconsciously, Fang Yuan asked Zhang Yi beside him in confusion, "Did I just hear something? That wasn't a compliment, was it? Is that Lin Long trying to slander us again? Is she using a new way of playing it safe? Is she praising us first and then criticizing us...?"

"I don't think... it's slanderous."

However, before Fang Yuan could finish his words, Zhang Yi directly denied his guess.

"But that's impossible! What good would it do her to praise me for no reason? We're clearly enemies! Maybe she's just faking it!"

Fang Yuan immediately questioned it and did not quite agree with what Zhang Yi said.

"Until now, I still don't know what kind of person Lin Long, who is being blackmailed by the entire internet, is. I've heard Lin Zhu'er say before that her sister Lin Long loves to pretend, often pretending to be innocent. Later, her true face was accidentally discovered by the Lin family, which is why they dislike her. Maybe she was just pretending just now."

It was normal for Fang Yuan to have such an opinion. Just this morning, Zhang Yi also held the same opinion, until she felt that Lin Long seemed a little different from her impression, and more because she suddenly saw... Lin Zhuer's fierce and arrogant expression that flashed by.

She felt more and more as if something was wrong. The abrupt and disharmonious feeling became stronger and stronger, making her want to sort out the whole incident. As she sorted it out, Zhang Yi couldn't help but recall the words Lin Long said when she first appeared on the set - Lin Zhuer pulled her back at the charity gala.

At that time, they all stood firmly on Lin Zhuer's side, and without giving it any thought, they concluded that this must be Lin Long's slander against Lin Zhuer. But what if, on the contrary, this statement was true?

Does that mean that, from the very beginning, the truth might not be like this, but... completely subverted?

Zhang Yi dared not even think about such an idea, but she could not suppress the idea no matter what. Instead, it became clearer and clearer. What was even more terrifying was that the more she thought about it, the more she found that the facts that were overturned were actually in line with the logical chain!

This is also the reason why Zhang Yi is willing to be on the same team with Lin Long. Of course, she can't care about the affairs of the wealthy Lin family, but Lin Zhuer is in the crew. If this is true, how terrible it would be!

But Zhang Yi was not in a position to tell Fang Yuan about these things. After a pause, she could only say this:

"Fang Yuan, you also said that praising you is not good for her. She doesn't need to do this."

"Then why did she do that?"

Why do this?

Zhang Yi couldn't help but think back to how Lin Long had been praising her all morning, and couldn't help but hesitate and said:

"Maybe she's satisfied with the route planning you just made? But actually, I feel like Lin Long is just...playing around. Even when you first joined, she said something provocative like 'I reluctantly accepted you.' See, weren't you immediately provoked by her?"

Looking back now, maybe that guy had been playing tricks on her since she first stepped onto the set. He watched her being disliked, scolded, and hated almost all the time, but did she really suffer any loss?

No, not at all.

She has been controlling the situation the entire time, provoking all sorts of reactions from them, yet she has remained calm and composed, with her expression barely changing. What else could this be but playing?

I have to say, Queen Zhang is indeed Queen Zhang, and what she said is really the truth.

Of course, when these words were broadcast simultaneously, no one believed them, and everyone agreed that it was because Queen Zhang was too kind that she was deceived by Lin Long.

Fang Yuan also shook his head in disbelief, and even advised Zhang Yi not to be easily fooled by the other party. Maybe Lin Long was born a bad guy! Anyway, after this episode ended, they would have no contact with Lin Long.

Zhang Yi had expected Fang Yuan's attitude and reaction. After all, if she hadn't seen Lin Zhuer's eyes with her own eyes, she wouldn't have had any doubts.

However, Fang Yuan was right in one thing. After this episode, they probably wouldn't have any chance to contact Lin Long again. They had no relationship with the Lin family, so the exact facts had nothing to do with them.

As for Lin Zhu'er, whether it was true or not, she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble on the set, right? Besides, there was a chance that she really had seen it wrong, or misunderstood.

After all, Lin Zhu'er has been a huge help to the production team during this time, securing investment opportunities and offering valuable advice. This has resulted in both increased exposure and excitement for the new series! Director Wu is thrilled!

If the exposure increases and the show performs well, it will bring in a lot of revenue, alleviating the recent financial difficulties of their production team. Although it is still unknown whether the new show will be a big hit, according to Director Wu, the chances of success are very high. They have also read the script of the new show and it is indeed very good and has great potential.

Never mind, let’s just leave it like this for now, it shouldn’t be any big problem, right?

Zhang Yi thought so, and finally put aside the vague uneasiness in her heart and turned her attention back to collecting ingredients.

Lin Long on the other side naturally had no idea what Zhang Yi and Fang Yuan thought of her. Of course, even if Lin Long knew, she wouldn't care much.

Moreover, now walking in the mountains and forests, Lin Long was in a rare good mood. The atmosphere of the undeveloped mountains and forests always reminded her of the lush greenery in Dragon Island.

Although the environment here is still quite different from that of Dragon Island, the surrounding farmers are carefully protecting this forest, keeping the picking rate to a minimum every year, and actively and patiently carrying out manual maintenance. The environmental quality of the forest has been improved, and nature will give the most precious treasures - there is no food that is more delicious than the treasures given by nature.

Who often says this?

A red dragon with the strongest body popped up in Lin Long's mind. It was her red dragon father who had the most bad temper and the most impatient. He was only most patient when she was hungry. He could always use his extremely strong body and extremely flexible claws to make many kinds of delicious food for her.

Lin Long always believed that the other five dragon dads could tolerate her red dragon dad's bad temper and live with them, it must be because of the delicious food made by her red dragon dad. However, there were times when the dragon dads couldn't stand the red dragon dad's noise.

And every time this happened, she would be "shamefully" turned into a tool to "coax the red dragon", and would be stuffed into the strong belly of the red dragon father by the dragon fathers. Then, her red dragon father would calm down and concentrate on thinking about how to fatten her up, cough cough.

When she thought of Dragon Island, Lin Long actually remembered something.

Before Dragon Island collapsed, she was about to catch a fish, not for playing with it, but to try to cook a meal for her dragon fathers.

After all, she has lived next to the Dragon Fathers for more than one hundred and twenty years, and she has naturally learned a little bit of what each Dragon Father is good at, including the Red Dragon Father's cooking skills. It's just that the Red Dragon Father always thought she was playing and never took it seriously, so she never had the chance to cook for the Red Dragon Father to see.

In fact, before the collapse of Dragon Island, she had planned to cook a delicious meal for the Dragon Fathers before they returned, and let the Red Dragon Father see her skills, so she was fishing in the river, but she never thought that an accident like the collapse of Dragon Island would happen.

However, it doesn't seem too late to do it now. Although her black dragon father has been extremely jealous recently and has the urge to always hide her like gold, it should be fine after waiting for this period of time. She can then reunite with the other dragon fathers, right?

Before that, she would first make a good one for her Black Dragon father to try.

It just so happens that in this mountain forest, the treasures bestowed by nature are these wild mushrooms.

Although the program team did not specify which type of mushrooms could be used to make the mushroom soup, they also listed the recommended mushrooms to be picked, listed a series of warnings, and arranged for farmers to wait for the artists on the outskirts of the forest, taking sufficient safety measures, for fear that the artists would pick some unusable mushrooms, and would repeatedly judge whether they were edible when they were finally made into dishes.

But for Lin Long, who has long been sensitive to the aroma and taste of food, these are not big problems.

The mushrooms she wanted to pick were naturally not ordinary edible mushrooms, but the most delicious mushrooms that concentrated the essence of nature.

Lin Long hardly needed a farmer to lead the way. He went straight into the forest. Judging by the environment and climate, the trees growing around him, and the smell in the air, without much hesitation, Lin Long went straight to the place where the most delicious wild mushrooms grew in the forest. His movements seemed to show that he was more familiar with the forest than the farmers nearby.

Sure enough, not long after, Lin Long's eyes lit up. The wild mushrooms she wanted were quietly hidden under the roots of the towering trees in the mountains and forests. Seeing such a treasure of nature, the farmers nearby couldn't help but praise Lin Long for her good finding skills.

Delicious fresh mushrooms like these are not only scarce, but also time-sensitive. Even farmers find it extremely difficult to find them. As the mushrooms grow a little bigger, their delicious taste will be lost and they will become no different from ordinary mushrooms. However, no one would have thought that this little girl Lin Long would find the most delicious one just by searching.

The farmer was sincere and simple, and knew nothing about the wealthy families in the entertainment industry. His praise for Lin Long was truly the most sincere compliment.

It has to be said that this was one of the few sincere treatments Lin Long received after waking up, which made her unconsciously raise a very bright smile. This was a bright smile that she would only show when facing the Dragon Dads and Chu Qi who was kind to her.

It was so brilliant that the cameraman holding the camera nearby was stunned for a moment and just stood there in a daze, unable to move.

Not to mention the audience in front of the live broadcast room who saw such a shot. For a moment, almost all of them were stunned. When they came to their senses, the smile on Lin Long's face had disappeared, and they suddenly discovered a tragedy:

No screenshots! They were so stunned by such a beautiful face that they didn't even take a screenshot!

What’s even more frustrating is that Lin Long is a person who is hated by the entire Internet. These people who only care about her looks don’t have the guts to ask directly in the public live broadcast room if anyone has captured the screenshot! Holy crap!

It would be great if Lin Long didn't have so many black spots. Some people who love beauty are actually muttering this in a small private group. On this issue, someone suddenly asked:

What if Lin Long wasn't completely blacklisted online? What if Lin Long still maintained her previous positive image?

What would happen then? Of course it would be—

Follow her, buy her stocks, buy her stocks, even if it means bankruptcy! If you are a good girl like this, whose stocks can you buy if not hers?

The author has something to say:

If it weren't for the fat chapter, could I say I wasted 4,000 words?

As for the plot, I will control the rhythm later. This is a rehabilitation article. To be honest, the writing in the beginning may not be very good, but I will try my best to make it wonderful later. The writing style of a bad author is also bad, hahaha~ I don’t have any goals at this stage, just to keep updating every day and try to give you more~

Here’s a preview of the next Dragon Dad I’ll meet. You should have guessed it, it’s the Golden Dragon.

As for who the CP is, many of you have already guessed it, and it seems they are quite late~_(:з」∠)_
