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 4 Catching Shrimp

Yan Qiao sat for a while, then took out her short knife and began to act.

There weren't many people in her live stream; most of them were spamming the chat with insults directed at her.

A few people wanted to see when she would finally threaten to quit the show.

As soon as she stood up, the comments section exploded with messages.

I bet 50 cents she'll definitely go to see our Qi-ge.

[Either you go to Lao Jin and play the victim, since you can't rely on yourself.]

[That doesn't seem right, take a closer look...]

Netizens were completely focused, and upon closer inspection, they discovered that Yan Qiao was actually chopping bamboo with a short knife.

The bamboo she cut wasn't too thick, and even though she wasn't very good with the short knife, she could still manage to cut it.

After cutting it down, she split the bamboo into pieces, and then the rest became much easier.

If it were the old Yan Qiao, a rich young lady who was also a lazy bum, of course she wouldn't know anything.

But things are different now. In her ten lifetimes, she has experienced all walks of life while doing missions for the Time and Space Bureau.

I'll do anything as long as I can complete the task.

After splitting the bamboo, Yan Qiao began to weave a bamboo cage.

The live stream suddenly fell silent. Yan Qiao was carefully composing, and they were watching intently.

I don't know how much time passed, but a bamboo cage was eventually completed.

Yan Qiao then wove a funnel-shaped clip onto the bamboo cage, and no one knew what she was planning to do.

But Yan Qiaoliang's move truly surprised everyone.

Yan Qiao patted the things in her hands, took a short knife and cut a long vine, then tied it to the top of the bamboo cage.

Then I wove two more simple bamboo baskets.

Then, he carried the bamboo cage forward.

What is she trying to do?

Can this be used to catch fish?

[Hilarious! Yan Qiao can catch fish, I can only wash my hair upside down.]

Of course, Yan Qiao couldn't see any of these sarcastic remarks.

She hadn't gone far when Ruan Cha called her back.

She handed Yan Qiao a tea egg and said, "Here, have this. You probably haven't had lunch yet."

Everyone else has something to eat, except Yan Qiao.

Yan Qiao looked at the tea egg in Ruan Cha's hand and knew that Ruan Cha wasn't just putting on a show; she genuinely wanted to give her the tea egg.

But she still had to survive on the deserted island for another month, so food was of utmost importance, and she couldn't just ask for whatever she wanted.

"No, you keep it for yourself. I won't go hungry."

Ruan Cha was taken aback, and a feeling ran through her that Yan Qiao was really different.

Perhaps what she said to Zang Mingqi today was true.

“Okay then, let me know if you get hungry.” Ruan Cha smiled sweetly.

Her voice was soft and soothing to listen to.

【Ahhh, our Chacha is so pretty and gentle!】

I'm about to drown in her dimples!

[Cha Cha is so kind, and Yan Qiao is so ungrateful.]

[Hehe, if she really did accept the tea eggs, you'd all be criticizing her.]

[She bullied our Chacha before, so it's wrong to scold her? I bet she's faking it; she'll show her true colors in less than three days.]

Yan Qiao continued forward, carrying the cage. Ruan Cha was very interested in what she was carrying and asked, "Yan Qiao, what's this bamboo cage for?"

She asked the question that many netizens also wanted to ask.

Yan Qiao explained to her, "To catch shrimp, if the shrimp goes in here, it won't be able to come out."

Generally speaking, a piece of meat or other bait needs to be placed inside.

She doesn't have the means right now, so she can only give it a try.

Ruan Cha asked in surprise, "Can this really catch shrimp?"

Before Yan Qiao could speak, she heard Jin Wenxian scoff.

"Humans may be this stupid, but shrimps can't."

The implication is that shrimp wouldn't be as naive and foolish as Yan Qiao.

The merciless mockery elicited a barrage of "hahaha" comments on the screen.

Just when everyone thought Yan Qiao would definitely be furious, Yan Qiao smiled calmly, picked up the cage, and walked away.

She hadn't eaten lunch, and she hadn't even eaten breakfast. She was starving.

If we put the cage down now, it will take at least several hours to retrieve it.

Yan Qiao continued walking along the coastline until she finally chose a place.

She climbed onto the reef and estimated the water to be four or five meters deep, though she would only know for sure once she went down.

Yan Qiao put stones in the cage, grabbed the rattan cane, and threw it out, watching the bamboo cage sink continuously.

Clap your hands, and you're done.

Standing on the reef, Yan Qiao's long ponytail swung in a neat arc, her delicate face was radiant, a smile played on her lips, her eyes were bright, and her whole body seemed to glow.

I suddenly... suddenly find her attractive!

To be fair, Yan Qiao's looks are still quite striking.

If she didn't have so many scandals, she could have secured a life of wealth and luxury just based on her face.

[Haha, sweet talk won't work on me. I resolutely boycott celebrities with bad records!]

After setting up the cage, Yan Qiao prepared to go back.

Because it's a deserted island, the sea view here is unbeatable, with blue skies and azure seas stretching as far as the eye can see.

Because it is free from pollution, the glass-like sea is crystal clear, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.

But her stomach growled twice, making Yan Qiao lose all interest in appreciating the beautiful scenery.

Fortunately, she soon found a few coconut trees.

She couldn't climb up, but luckily there were many trees on the ground that had fallen down from the trees.

She picked some up, carefully selecting each one, keeping only a few that looked fresh.

Using a short knife and a stone, they pried open the two coconuts.

Only after tasting the sweet coconut water did Yan Qiao feel as if she had come back to life.

She drank two coconuts in a row before carrying them back home to use as fresh water for the time being.

As Yan Qiao passed Zang Mingqi and Ruan Cha, she paused.

Zang Mingqi's live stream was flooded with comments.

【Here she comes again, trying to scam us. Our Brother Qi doesn't drink coconut!】

[Can Yan Qiao be eliminated? Eliminate her!!!]

[I told you she wouldn't last a day! And I was right!!]

When will Yan Qiao retire from the entertainment industry?

The next moment, everyone saw Yan Qiao place a coconut next to Ruan Cha.

Should I open it for you?

Ruan Cha was taken aback, only then realizing that she was talking to her.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly let out a mental scream: "Wow, Yan Qiao is so fair! How come her face is flawless!"

"Should we open it?" Yan Qiao asked again.

Ruan Cha nodded blankly and said softly, "Yes."

Yan Qiao lowered her eyes, opened a coconut for her in the same way, wiped it clean, and then put it in her hand.

No wonder everyone loves Ruan Cha so much; she looks so soft and cute, I want to pinch her cheeks.

Then, carrying the remaining coconuts, she returned to the place where she had been weaving the bamboo cage, without even glancing at Zang Mingqi.

[Hahaha, Zang Mingqi's fans, don't overthink it.]

[Yan Qiao had no intention of giving any to Zang Mingqi; she was just being presumptuous.]

[Aww, as expected of our beautiful and adorable Cha Cha, even Yan Qiao couldn't resist her charm.]

Zang Mingqi's face turned pale and then red. Ha, Yan Qiao must have done it on purpose, thinking that this would get his attention.

He looked at the coconut in Ruan Cha's hand and couldn't help but swallow hard. Who cares?
