"That's all I could do! I barely managed to perform at five or six tenths of my usual level today. Don't look at me so surprised, or I'll think you're a country bumpkin."

"We'll have coconut heart stewed pheasant for lunch and roasted rabbit for dinner. The rest is up to you three: Xiao Lei, Xiao Hu Zi, and Xiao Bazi." Li Yinsheng waved her hand dismissively, arranging the lunch and dinner menus.

Li Yinsheng's words carried a hint of mockery and smugness as she joked with Brother Hu and the other two.

"Yes, sir! This servant will take care of it right away!" Brother Hu cooperated with Li Yinsheng's performance and gave Li Yinsheng a deep bow.

Wu Lei and Dilraba smiled at each other and echoed each other. The chubby girl's unintentional showing off was not annoying, but rather made people feel close to her.

"Remember to keep the chicken hearts, livers, and gizzards; stew them together. Don't throw away the rest either; you can put them in the fish basket or use them as bait," Li Yinsheng added.

"Okay, I understand." Wu Lei nodded, indicating that he understood.

That evening at Group A's camp, the members of Group A gathered together to discuss how to exchange points for items.

"The fat girl found dozens of kilograms of cassava for Group C. In addition, she fished at night and may have caught pheasants. All things considered, the fat girl can earn at most eighty or ninety points, but no more than one hundred points."

"We spent fifty points on the previous two exchanges, and we still have nine more exchange opportunities. For us, we can exchange for ten catties and five catties of mung beans, a set of barbecue seasoning, a set of stir-fry seasoning, three catties of flour, three catties of rice, and three catties of dragon beard noodles. If we have extra points, what should we exchange for?" Huang Xiaoming asked Zhang Yixing and Li Xiang after checking the exchange list.

"Master, the remaining two slots can be exchanged for a power strip. The power strip also comes with three light bulbs. With light bulbs, we can have light when we eat late-night snacks, which will be convenient. Besides, we'll need lights if we play mahjong at night. It's just that the exchange points are a bit expensive, requiring ten points."

"There's one more spot available. You can redeem a guitar. A guitar can play almost all chords, which will make it easier for Fatty to write songs. They'll also give you paper and a pen, which is probably for Fatty. The redemption points aren't expensive either, only five points." Zhang Yixing suggested, his eyes sparkling with anticipation, clearly quite interested in the guitar.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiang nodded slightly and added, "An electric board is indeed a good choice, especially in the wild where nighttime lighting is particularly important, making our lives more convenient. As for the guitar, I think it's very meaningful for Pang Niu; perhaps playing the guitar can inspire her creative inspiration and make it easier for her to write songs."

"Actually, I think we can remove one of the slots for exchanging three catties of flour and replace it with five catties of garlic."

"We've already exchanged so much dragon beard noodles, and now we're by the sea, don't you want to eat garlic vermicelli lobster? Garlic vermicelli scallops? Besides, garlic is indispensable whether you're stir-frying, grilling, or eating it raw." Zhao Liying, true to her foodie nature, lit up her eyes at the mention of food.

“Yingbao is right.”

"Alright! Nine spots will get you ten and five pounds of mung beans, a set of barbecue seasoning, a set of stir-fry seasoning, three pounds of rice, three pounds of rice noodles, five pounds of garlic cloves, a guitar, and a power strip." Li Xiang finally made the decision, and everyone nodded in agreement.

"Damn! The other groups don't have many points and are still worried about how to exchange them for other food items, while Group A is discussing exchanging them for guitars, garlic, and batteries. It's hilarious."

"Haha, this Group A is really ingenious. They exchanged guitars for Fatty to write songs, squeezing out all of Fatty's inspiration so she can quickly write some good songs to listen to."

"First the chubby girl made a bamboo flute, and now she wants to exchange it for a guitar. Are they planning to hold a concert?"

"Exchange batteries to play mahjong? I'm impressed by your imagination! You guys are here for wilderness survival, not to play mahjong, hahaha! I'm laughing so hard my abs are about to give me abs!"

"Yingbao is such a foodie. She redeemed dragon beard noodles and now she wants to redeem garlic. She wants garlic vermicelli seafood, which would be a perfect match."

After watching the live stream, viewers flooded the chat with "666" after seeing the items that Group A discussed exchanging, expressing their surprise and admiration for Group A's move.

Group C camp.

While Hu Ge and the others were busy preparing pheasant stew with coconut heart, Li Yinsheng also got back to her old ways, planning to make four pairs of bowls, chopsticks, and dishes for Group C. They couldn't just eat and drink from plastic bottles.

Now they have enough to eat and drink. Life needs a sense of ritual, otherwise they would be no different from homeless people, she thought to herself, but her hands never stopped working.

Choosing the right wood, she needed to select one that was hard and had a clear grain, perfect for making tableware. She skillfully picked up a small knife and began carefully peeling away the bark, revealing the golden wood beneath—a warm and rustic color.

Draw a shape the size of a bowl, and start chiseling it open...

Hu Ge and his group had already plucked the feathers, gutted the pheasants, cut them into small pieces, and started stewing them. As time passed, the aroma of stewed pheasants with coconut heart gradually spread.

"Fatty, you can do woodworking too? Are you making wooden bowls and chopsticks for us?" While the pheasant and coconut heart were simmering over a low flame, Reba and the others had some free time. When they saw the chopsticks that Li Yinsheng had polished, and three other pairs of chopsticks that had already been made, Reba walked over with a look of surprise.

"They're quite handy." Brother Hu even stepped forward, picked up a pair, and used them like he was picking up food.

"I only know a little bit. I've made bowls, chopsticks, butterflies, tables and chairs for Group A." Her hands moved faster and faster, and amidst the flying wood shavings, a pair of chopsticks gradually took shape. She also carved small patterns on the ends of each pair of chopsticks, which were both beautiful and non-slip, showing her ingenuity in the details.

The plates are made of thicker wooden boards with rounded, smooth edges, so they can hold food without cutting your fingers.

"Fatty, I think you're really amazing, you can do everything! With this skill, you could open a craft shop!" Dilraba circled around Li Yinsheng a few times, looking at Fatty as if she were looking at a treasure.

Brother Hu patted Li Yinsheng on the shoulder and praised, "Fatty, your move really added a lot of glory to our Group C. It seems our quality of life is about to rise sharply."

"It's a pity that Fatty is leaving our Group C the day after tomorrow morning," Wu Lei said abruptly.

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

After spending just two days with the chubby girl, their affection and dependence on her had already taken root.
