The Fake Heiress Fades from the Spotlight, but Winning Big by Slacking Off and Collecting Rent

After a car accident, Yan Qiao was selected by the Space-Time Bureau. If she completed ten lifetimes of missions, she could be reborn. She worked overtime, following a 997 work schedule to finish h...

Chapter 22 Pheasant

Zhang Song turned to the director and asked, "Yan Qiao probably knows we're suppressing her."

The director rolled his eyes at him. "Isn't that obvious? Every guest here is shrewd enough to know we're trying to put her down."

Those who can enter the entertainment industry are all shrewd and intelligent, and he has never hidden his targeting of Yan Qiao.

"But Yan Qiao didn't participate in the mission."

The director said, "If she didn't participate, she didn't participate. Anyway, she doesn't have any money in her account right now, and she can't even catch up with one group."

He only cares about being in the lead; he doesn't care about anyone else.

Once one group completes the task, the distance between them will widen.

Zhang Song didn't think so. Although Yan Qiao hadn't formed a team, she wasn't fighting alone. Wasn't she leading a group right now?

On the other side, Yan quietly put away the things she had just bought.

It was almost noon, and she still hadn't decided what to eat.

There were still many dried fish on her head, but she didn't feel like eating them for the time being.

After thinking for a moment, she got up and walked into the woods, wanting to explore inside.

After walking for so many days, she had already explored the area closest to the camp. Now she was slowly exploring the outer perimeter. Just like before, when she reached an unfamiliar place, she would stop and make a mark.

Whenever she sees a useful herb, she digs some up and takes it home.

As she walked, she came to a place overgrown with weeds. Suddenly, she lost her footing and, if she hadn't grabbed the grass in time, she might have fallen.

The viewers in the live stream were also worried for her.

When Yan Qiao pushed aside the weeds, she realized that there was a large pit in front of her.

She pressed the weeds down to make herself see more clearly.

If she falls into this pit, it will really take her a lot of effort to get out on her own.

But upon closer inspection, she discovered an unexpected surprise.

Yan Qiao tore off a thick vine, tied one end to a tree, and held onto the other end herself. She then leaned her upper body into the pit and reached out to grab it.

[A pheasant! Is this a pheasant?]

With its bright plumage and white ring around its neck, this must be a rooster.

Eating pheasant is illegal, isn't it?

[Removing "seems" is indeed not acceptable in China, as everyone should protect wild animals and plants, but this is Country A.]

This is why the production team chose to locate the show overseas, fearing that if they were in China, they might accidentally get into trouble.

From the moment Yan Qiao caught it, the pheasant struggled violently, flapping its wings.

Yan Qiao leaned against the vines to get up, casually untied the vines, and used them to tie the pheasant's claws.

Her mouth was already watering at the sight of the plump, juicy roasted chicken!

Having caught the chicken, Yan Qiao decided not to explore any further and carried it away.

On the way back, I dug up a few yams.

Busy as I am, another meal is finally done.

Yan Qiao had some seasonings, so she killed the chicken, cleaned it, and marinated it with salt and soy sauce.

She didn't throw away any of the edible parts, including the heart, liver, and intestines.

After she finished dealing with it, she realized that it was really not easy.

After marinating, she started a fire to roast the chicken.

This rooster is not only big, but because it is a pheasant that roams all over the mountains, its meat is very firm.

Yan Qiao felt that this was the best chicken she had ever eaten.

After the chicken was roasted, she used a fruit knife to cut off the pieces, only eating the part she wanted to eat, leaving the remaining three-quarters.

I'll have some more roasted yams, that'll be enough to fill me up.

Is Yan Qiao saving this for Xi Luo?

[It wasn't just Xiluo; she only moved a quarter of the way, and neither did the yam!]

So! She's saving chicken for Ruan Cha and Qi Ge, I'm so touched!

After eating and drinking her fill, Yan Qiao began weaving bamboo baskets again.

This time she wore her newly bought gloves, and she knitted even faster.

After weaving it, I held it up to my waist to check it out. It would be more convenient to tie it around my waist if I were diving.

After this was completed, the group that had been working on the task returned.

Despite being starving, everyone looked quite well, suggesting they had had a fruitful meal.

As Yan Yaoyao passed by Yan Qiao, she smelled the aroma of meat, which made her mouth water.

Judging from Yan Qiao's appearance, she didn't seem to have eaten anything.

She smiled, "Yan Qiao, we caught a lot of fish."

This task posed no difficulty whatsoever for Jin Wenxian.

Yan Qiao replied coldly, "Congratulations."

Not seeing any envious glances from her, Yan Yaoyao felt a lump in her throat and followed Jin Wen to the headquarters to settle accounts.

After the final count, the set weighed 11 jin (5 catties), and the account increased by 1100 yuan.

The second set weighs 12 jin (6 catties), so the price will increase by 1200 yuan.

Even Shiloh, who always slacks off, has 400 yuan.

Yan Yaoyao was overjoyed. She had previously been in debt for 400 yuan, but after this mission, not only was she free of debt, she even had a surplus.

Her gratitude towards Jin Wenxian was genuine. She cupped her hands in a gesture reminiscent of Xi Shi holding her heart, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Teacher Jin, if it weren't for you, I would still be in debt. I'm so grateful to you!"

These words were deliberately said to Xiluo, but Xiluo ignored them, his attack power was zero.

Jin Wen glanced at her, then lowered his gaze and saw Yan Yaoyao's collar slipping down, revealing her ample cleavage. He was instantly aroused.

If you think about it, it's true that he hasn't been with a woman for a while.

Next, we'll have to endure another half a month or so, Jin Wenxian thought to himself.

"You're welcome, we're teammates."

He reached out and patted Yan Yaoyao on the shoulder.

Yan Yaoyao's body stiffened. She wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but she felt Jin Wenxian's hand pinch her shoulder.

After the settlement was completed, everyone had money in their hands and wanted to treat themselves.

Yan Yaoyao, in particular, was the first to suggest spinning the wheel.

Zhang Song smiled and nodded, "Good luck to you."

Yan Yaoyao went to the pots and pans, and Jin Wenxian originally thought there was no need to buy them, so he might as well go back and buy them again.

But Yan Yaoyao said, "With pots and pans, we can make fish soup. Anyway, it only costs 500 yuan, so let's buy it."

Looking into her bright, sparkling eyes, Jin Wenxian's heart softened.

"Okay, then let's buy it."

Yan Yaoyao happily bought the pots and pans, and still had 200 yuan left in her account.

One group spent 500 yuan to buy a stack of bottled water, and Yan Yaoyao then spent another 100 yuan to buy two bottles of water from them.

Shiloh didn't buy anything; he had no money.

Next, the activity begins, which involves drawing props.

One group drew a lucky card and a copy card, and the usage instructions were written on the back of the item cards.

The second group drew a swap card and a big meal card, both of which Yan Yaoyao was very satisfied with.

Shiloh could also draw a card; he drew a "Clearance Card," which could clear any set of currently owned items and balances.

It sounded really unethical, so he put it away without any intention of using it.

In fact, everyone kept their prop cards hidden from others.

After the props were drawn, the production team said that there were too many fish, and each guest could take two pounds of fish home to eat.

The usually stingy production team finally showed some generosity.
