Variety Show Live: I Take Celebrities to Survive in the Wilderness

Li Yinsheng transmigrates from Earth to a similar yet different Blue Star. At the start, he participates in a desert island survival variety show as an ordinary person, and then a system activates....

Chapter 54 I've come to work! Digging cassava

"Come on, let's follow Fatty, we can't go wrong listening to her." Brother Hu pulled Wu Lei and followed behind Li Yinsheng.

"Fatty, where are you taking us?" Brother Hu asked curiously after seeing that Li Yinsheng wasn't leading them towards the shelter.

"Where am I going? Of course, I'm going to work for you guys." Li Yinsheng said without turning her head, her tone irritating.

"Did you find anything to eat when you were exploring this area?" Wu Lei reacted quickly, understanding the meaning behind Li Yinsheng's words about working, and asked with a smile.

“There are plenty of things to eat near your shelter. For example, if you really can’t find anything to eat, you can just cut down this banana tree, take out the banana core, and eat it. It can also replenish your water.”

In addition, these are purslane, dandelion, iris, beggar-ticks, mustard greens, sow thistle, black nightshade, and...

"You just don't recognize them. I'll teach you how. After I go back in three days, you can pick them and eat them too." Li Yinsheng walked forward, teaching Brother Hu and Wu Lei about the plants around them.

Hu Ge and Wu Lei followed behind Li Yinsheng, listening with great interest, their eyes intently watching Li Yinsheng explain the wild vegetables to them, trying their best to remember the appearance and shape of each plant she described.

"Fatty, you're amazing! It's like you know everything." Brother Hu's admiration for Li Yinsheng grew even stronger.

"Haha, I've read a lot of books and watched a lot of videos to prepare for this desert island survival challenge, so I know a little bit about it," Li Yinsheng said with a modest smile.

Li Yinsheng continued leading the way, stopping occasionally to introduce them to the various wild vegetables or plants she recognized along the way and their uses. From edible fruits to medicinal herbs, she knew them all like the back of her hand.

"We're here, Brother Hu, give me the hoe, I'll clear a path first." After arriving at the thorny thicket where cassava grew, Li Yinsheng stopped and turned to Brother Hu.

Upon hearing this, Brother Hu immediately handed the hoe in his hand to Li Yinsheng.

Li Yinsheng took the hoe and skillfully began clearing away the bushes and vines blocking her way, creating a narrow path to the cassava field.

As Li Yinsheng vigorously swung her hoe, she explained, "I found a piece of cassava. Cassava roots are rich in starch, and when cooked, they have a soft and glutinous texture, making them a staple food that can replenish the body's carbohydrates. Moreover, cassava also has certain medicinal value, as it can clear heat and detoxify, which is very beneficial to our survival on the island."

However, cassava cannot be eaten directly because it contains a toxic substance called cyanogenic glycoside. It needs to be soaked for several days and nights and processed before it is safe to eat.

Upon hearing this, Hu Ge and Wu Lei both nodded to indicate that they had taken note.

"Don't move, you guys rest. Don't forget, I'm here to work for you guys." When they arrived at the cassava field, Li Yinsheng was about to start digging when she saw Brother Hu and Wu Lei find some sticks and were about to start digging as well. Li Yinsheng quickly stopped them.

I finally found a piece of cassava, but I'm worried that the cassava that Brother Hu and Wu Lei dug up isn't food I found, so it won't count as points for me.

“This…it’s not right to watch you work alone!” Wu Lei understood Li Yinsheng’s thoughts, but as a man, he felt embarrassed to watch a girl work alone, so he hesitated for a moment.

"I won't leave you idle. First, find some vines and weave them into simple baskets. Later, I'll dig out the cassava, and you can clean it up and put it in the baskets." Li Yinsheng instructed Hu Ge and Wu Lei while working.

They both nodded and then got to work.

They quickly found several thick and flexible vines from around them, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, began to weave them together in perfect harmony.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling their bodies and adding a touch of life to the otherwise quiet woodland.

Li Yinsheng dug up the cassava. Her movements were skillful and powerful. With each stroke of her hoe, she accurately found the root of the cassava, and then carefully dug it out of the soil, trying to keep it intact so as not to lose her precious points.

........

"The chubby girl works as cleanly and efficiently as ever."

"The chubby girl said: 'I'm here to work for you guys! But there's no pay,' which cracked me up! Hahahaha!"

"Have you noticed? Since Fatty joined Group C, she seems to have become the backbone of the group again, and has become the captain. It seems that some people can shine wherever they go. Her arrival has not only injected new vitality and cohesion into Group C, but has also unconsciously stimulated the potential of the team members."

"The reason why Fatty can become the backbone is not only because her optimistic and cheerful personality always brings laughter and positive energy to everyone, but also because she knows a little bit about everything, has extremely good luck, and most importantly, can solve problems."

"Go quickly, those two wild boars have headed into Group A's area of ​​activity. Go check it out!"

"I'm waiting to see how Fatty deals with those two wild boars when she gets back."

"If these wild boars knew who they were about to face, they'd probably turn tail and run!"

Viewers watching the live stream left numerous comments, their banter tinged with a hint of anticipation.

Nine days after its premiere, Fatty quickly became a star contestant in this wilderness survival challenge, thanks to her unique charm, extraordinary skills, talent as a composition major from Tsinghua and Peking Universities, and status as a lucky charm.

Now, the number of viewers in her personal live stream is not much less than that of Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei. Li Yinsheng can be said to have become an instant hit on this show and gathered a lot of fans.

Every move she made attracted the audience's attention like a magnet, and the popularity in the live broadcast room continued to rise, with the barrage of comments rolling like a tide. Everyone's enthusiasm was ignited by the chubby girl's wonderful performances time and time again.

...

"Alright, that's about it. You can dig the rest later." Li Yinsheng had dug out most of the cassava in this patch, and judging from the appearance, she had dug out at least several dozen kilograms, which could be exchanged for twenty or thirty points. She was also quite tired, so she left the remaining cassava for Brother Hu and the others to dig later.

Fortunately, cassava is easy to store; it can be kept for a long time as long as it is dried or stored in a cool place.

"Fatty, aren't you going to continue working for us?" Brother Hu joked with Li Yinsheng.

“Working is also a form of entrepreneurship. Lao Hu, don’t act innocent after getting a good deal. Just tell me if you still want to eat meat. If you do, hurry up and break off the cassava, clean it up, and carry it back to the shelter.” Li Yinsheng rolled her eyes at Brother Hu and said irritably.

"Your Majesty, please rest for a moment, I will finish immediately." Brother Hu bowed exaggeratedly and stepped forward like a lackey, helping Li Yinsheng to sit down to the side.

Li Yinsheng cooperated with Brother Hu, striking a pose as if to say, "I'm tired and need to rest for a while," but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips. The surrounding air seemed to lighten with the relaxed atmosphere.
