After a day of hard work, a total of twelve rainbow trout were caught when the day ended in the afternoon. Er Ya caught none, mainly because she had only fished for a short time and was a beginner, so she hadn't gotten the hang of it yet.

I caught three fish on the leaves and started to get a feel for this fishing method.

The remaining nine were all thanks to the yellow whale, which clearly shows that the yellow whale has a lot of fishing experience.

Aside from the three we ate at noon, we still have nine rainbow trout to keep in reserve.

According to Er Ya's speculation, this river should not be the main route for salmon migration, because there was no observation of a large number of salmon crowding and pushing upstream.

However, it should be part of the rainbow trout's migration route, since all twelve fish I got were rainbow trout.

Nine rainbow trout, weighing a total of about thirty pounds, were a considerable harvest for the three of them, enough to feed them for ten days.

Of course, this ten days refers to eating fish once a day, not eating fish three times a day.

On the way back to camp, all three of them were all smiles, because they had already tasted the rainbow trout and found it to be much tastier than ordinary sea fish.

Moreover, after eating smoked moose meat for so long, they wanted to try something different.

"This harvest rate is good, let's continue tomorrow," the yellow whale said cheerfully.

"Yes, I've just gotten the hang of it, and I definitely need to solidify it," Ye Zi agreed.

There's no rush with the bear pelt. Even if the temperature drops tomorrow, he can hold out for a few days with his physical condition. There will be time to look for bears or other large prey.

Even if we can't find it, as long as there's enough food, we can simply stay in the camp and move around there for a short time without any problem.

“That’s right. Even if we can’t finish our food by the end of the competition, we can’t quit just because we don’t have any,” Er Ya echoed.

Arya has adjusted her mindset; everything is about winning the game, nothing else matters.

After returning to the camp, the fish head was removed, the body was cleaned, and then it was hung in the smokehouse, lit, and taken out the next morning to be stored in the storage room.

We ate moose meat again for dinner. We had already improved our meals at noon, so it was acceptable.

Leaf knew the area around the camp like the back of her hand; there were no small prey available for them to hunt nearby.

Fishing is a good option.

And he finally understood why there were so many anglers: it was an interesting and stress-relieving activity.

To be honest, given their living conditions and food reserves, Ye Zi had no doubt about their chances of winning the match.

But living in the wilderness for a long time, even with teammates and the system to chat with, is still very stressful.

After a day of fishing, Yezi clearly felt less stressed.

Moreover, fishing is time-limited. When the temperature drops, the river surface will freeze. In addition, salmon migrate to spawn, and after spawning, they will return to the sea.

They only had a limited amount of time, and they didn't have a clear idea of ​​the exact amount, so they could only make the most of it and relieve stress while stockpiling food.

On the morning of the forty-fifth day, the three got up and divided the tasks clearly: Er Ya was in charge of breakfast, Ye Zi was in charge of putting away the smoked fish and cleaning the smoked meat shed, and Huang Jingyu was in charge of tidying up the fishing gear.

Before the food was cooked, the three of them practiced their martial arts moves together again.

Pack your things and set off.

On the fiftieth day of their survival attempt, after six consecutive days of fishing, the three had caught at least 150 pounds of rainbow trout.

On the fiftieth day, it was time for their routine medical check-up, so the three of them didn't plan to go fishing.

After breakfast, we packed our things and headed to the beach.

The familiar routine, the familiar speedboat, the familiar people: middle-aged men and Doug the medic.

Er Ya followed the female doctor to the side for an examination. It has to be said that the women were treated much better than the men. Not only were there doctors of the same gender, but there were also simple tents.

The medic was still the same one who examined Huang Jingyu and Ye Zi this time, but he was much more skilled at handling the equipment.

While examining the yellow whale, Ye Zi whispered to the middle-aged man:

"What's the situation now?"

The middle-aged man whispered:

"Not bad, your conditions are the best, you can win."

Strictly speaking, Ye Zi's request for information from the middle-aged man was considered cheating, because no matter what the middle-aged man's answer was, the contestant could analyze some useful information.

When people are completely deprived of external information, they become anxious, fearful of loss, and those with weak psychological resilience may even doubt themselves.

I doubt the chances of winning if I continue to persevere.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, it will take root and sprout at an astonishing speed. Needless to say, the final result will be to give up before long, because there is no hope of winning.

Unless the middle-aged person's answer is "no comment".

However, for Ye Zi and the other two, it didn't matter what the middle-aged man's answer was, because they were confident of winning.

After all, the camp offers good living conditions and a large food reserve; most people wouldn't give up such favorable conditions.

After the inspection was completed, the middle-aged man gave a thumbs-up gesture and left in a speedboat.

Er Ya looked very happy.

"You've lost weight?" Yellow Whale asked casually.

Er Ya shook her head and said:

"I haven't lost weight, at least not my weight, but my body fat percentage has decreased."

Ye Zi asked in confusion:

"I haven't lost weight, only my body fat percentage has decreased. What's there to be happy about?"

Er Ya rolled her eyes at Ye Zi, and Huang Jingyu explained:

"For straight men, a decreased body fat percentage means a reduction in body fat content, no more fat, making them look thinner, but also healthier."

To put it another way, it's like looking slim in clothes but muscular when undressed.

Ye Zi raised an eyebrow and looked down at his perfectly sculpted abs, or rather, the layer of fat on top of them. He had never really paid attention to body fat percentage.

Weighing around 200 pounds, he looks very different from a muscular man like Huang Jingyu.

He nodded in sudden realization. No wonder some people like to spend time in the gym; it makes perfect sense.

After completing the routine checks, Ye Zi and the other two began their journey back to camp.

That's about it for the fiftieth day. I'm too lazy to go fishing, so letting my daughter relax for a day is a good option.

Back at the camp, the three were bored and didn't know what to do.

Ye Zi instinctively took out her own hair to air and rub the bedding.

Er Ya's eyes lit up, and she took out the cut-out winter leather coat to prepare for sewing.

The yellow whale understood that this was preparation for winter; they already had food, all they needed were clothes.

Fortunately, Ye Zi made more than one bone needle, so each of them could sew their own, which was enough.

However, a problem arose during the sewing process. Er Ya's fur was not soft enough, and it was difficult to pierce through with the bone needle.
