After the host announced the content of the next practical assessment, he left an hour for the contestants to rest and prepare.

The assessment content wasn't much, just three things: setting up a tent, finding food, and making a fire to cook. However, it made all the contestants cry out in despair.

Since entering the interstellar age, technology has advanced rapidly, allowing us to solve various problems in work, life, and education without leaving home. Home robots have already evolved countless generations. Who would still want to set up a tent and cook in the kitchen? Even if you search the entire federation, you may not find many people who know how to use these strange things.

Ten years ago, a scholar asserted that the Federation was about to completely enter the "Age of Lazy People", and looking at the current situation, his prediction has long been fulfilled.

Jiang Ran heard a contestant nearby complain, "It's not easy for the production team to come up with a topic like this. I'm afraid it's some corny thing they found in some 'ancient book' or 'unique copy'."

But no matter how much you complain, you still have to do your homework.

During the preparation period, the contestants' laptops were not confiscated. Everyone was scratching their heads and frantically searching for information on the Star Network.

Ren Xiayang and Bai Zhiyong were the more relaxed among the contestants present. One of them had served in the army, had good physical fitness, and was familiar with mechanical equipment. After a short while, he knew roughly how to set up the tent; the other was a biologist, familiar with all kinds of animals and plants. He wandered around the edge of the rainforest twice, and although he didn't recognize everything, he could at least recognize most of them, so finding some food was certainly no problem.

The two were already familiar with each other, and they decided on a cooperation plan after discussing it. However, they still had trouble with the issue of "making fire and cooking."

“I’m not…”

"Alright, alright, don't rush into anything," Bai Zhiyong said, pushing him away with disdain. "Go figure out how to light the fire, and I'll take care of the cooking."

Ren Xiayang said "Oh" aggrievedly.

While the contestants were busy and chaotic, the audiences in the various live broadcast rooms were very excited.

[Market opens in half an hour, buy now and leave now~]

What are you betting on? No money! I lost it all last time :)

[Brother above! You also bought Jiang Ran as the last pick, right?! I’m so disappointed.]

[Last week, the astrolabe said I would have a bloody disaster, but I didn’t believe it. I didn’t expect it to be related to wealth.]

[Don't give up, bro! Let's keep betting on Jiang Ran to be last! She's made some seriously bad dishes on cooking variety shows before! She's definitely going to lose this round!]

[Really? My empty wallet can't stand a second blow.]

[You can still find news from that year on Starnet! If you don't believe me, go check it out for yourself!]

【……】

The live broadcast room was bustling with activity, and the contestants were all in a panic, but Jiang Ran was the only one who was very relaxed.

The content of those tests were nothing more than the most basic skills for survival in the wild, which were something that even novice explorers in the 21st century would not be unfamiliar with. She had never expected that they would become such a difficult problem in the interstellar age, which really surprised her.

However, Jiang Ran didn't want to stand out in the crowd, so even if he was being lazy, he deliberately found a place behind a huge rock to avoid being seen by others.

When the quiz was about to start, Fu Bo came over.

Seeing Jiang Ran resting comfortably in the shade, the veins on his forehead throbbed: "Don't be too proud! You definitely won't get first place this round!"

Jiang Ran only raised his eyelids slightly: "So confident? Are you ready?"

Fu Bo raised his chin proudly: "Having a reliable military advisor means less worry."

Jiang Ran didn't move at all, his voice lazy: "Then congratulations in advance!"

Fu Bo said nothing, only nodded arrogantly. Jiang Ran, curious, asked, "What have you prepared?"

Fu Bo had been waiting for her to ask this question. Upon hearing it, he quickly took out his laptop and opened the screen, which showed a full page of beautifully formatted and detailed information.

Jiang Ran took a closer look and thought it looked quite good: "Not bad."

Fu Bo still lamented, "It's a pity that the time is too short. Otherwise, if I made these into games, I would definitely learn faster while playing!"

Jiang Ran: “…”

She asked sincerely and earnestly, "How much salary do you offer your military advisor?"

"That's my brother's assistant, and my brother pays her salary."

Working two jobs together?

This is truly a talent.

Jiang Ran was just about to suggest that the assistant find a new job when he heard Fu Bo add, "If I remember correctly, his annual salary seems to be 30 million federal coins."

Jiang Ran recalled the current purchasing power of federal currency: "..." Is your brother's company still short of people?

Fu Bo thought for a moment and continued, "It seems a bit low. I'll ask my brother to give him a raise later."

Jiang Ran: “…”

Jiang Ran: "Shut up."

The worlds of migrant workers are different, and she just thought this person was noisy.

Even though all the contestants had made various preparations and looked up as much detailed information as possible, when it came to the battle, they were still flustered and disorganized, appearing to be in a state of disarray.

It was fine when we were setting up the tents, as everyone was still together. But when it came to finding food, everyone dispersed and went into the rainforest to look for it. As they searched, many people disappeared, and they still didn't come back until the sun was about to set.

Fortunately, each contestant is equipped with a detector and a locator, so the program team can track their situation at any time.

Even so, the staff were extremely busy. Even the host was pulled over to help and stayed in front of the surveillance camera to see if there was any problem.

But the problem...

There are simply too many.

Ren Xiayang didn't pay attention to the fire when he was making it, and almost caused a forest fire.

When Bai Zhiyong was looking for food, his treasured mushroom bag was snatched away by a chimpanzee. He was so anxious that he ran into the rainforest after it and almost didn't get it back.

These are still relatively good, there are many worse players.

Those who poked a hornet's nest and got stung to death, those who fell into a river while fishing and couldn't swim, those who fell from a 20-meter-high tree while climbing...

Fortunately, the program team had the foresight to prepare an emergency life bag for each contestant, so their safety was guaranteed and no one would lose their lives during the quiz.

Jiang Ran looked at the farce everywhere and thought that if the quiz did not eliminate the contestants, by the time this one was over, all the contestants would have been eliminated and the entire competition would be over.

She glanced at the eight-tenths-cooked grilled fish on her shelf and wondered if she should go and help.

The best performance of the whole event was undoubtedly Fu Bo. Just when everyone was having various problems, the food he prepared was almost cooked.

He glanced at these foolish mortals with contempt: "Not a single one can fight." Then he scooped up a spoonful of soup with a lotus leaf and tasted it.

Ten minutes later, Fu Bo's whole body stiffened and he fell to the ground twitching.

The contestant next to him was startled and quickly ran towards the staff.

“Someone died!!!”

The author has something to say:

Sooner or later, the audience who placed bets will find out that Ran Ran is the code to wealth.
