Lu Fan saw through An Lan's little thoughts at a glance. Seeing her longing look, he smiled, picked up a round little golden monkey, gently placed it in An Lan's arms, and said softly, "Come on, pet it, it's so well-behaved."

An Lan's eyes lit up instantly, as if she had discovered a treasure. She couldn't wait to raise her hand and gently pat the little golden monkey's head.

The little golden monkey cooperated perfectly, raising its big, watery eyes and staring straight at An Lan. In those clear eyes, An Lan's surprised and gentle face was reflected.

"Oh, this is so cute!"

An Lan's voice was full of joy. She immediately hugged the little golden monkey tightly in her arms and gently rubbed its chubby face. The little golden monkey not only did not resist, but also squinted its eyes comfortably, making An Lan laugh continuously.

Looking at the steaming hot spring in front of him, Lu Fan felt as if the rising steam was a pair of gentle hands that softly touched his heartstrings, and the thought of soaking in the hot spring instantly popped into his mind.

Looking at An Lan again, her gaze seemed to be drawn to the hot spring from time to time, as if she were being attracted by a magnet, clearly showing that she and An Lan were on the same wavelength.

Lu Fan's lips curled into a sly smile as he teased, "An Lan, this hot spring looks so comfortable. Why don't we enjoy it too?"

An Lan's cheeks flushed slightly, like a ripe apple. She coughed lightly and said, trying to sound calm, "Hmm... isn't this a bit inappropriate, in the middle of nowhere?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here for you. I'll protect you."

Lu Fan patted his chest, looking confident, and his determined appearance warmed An Lan's heart.

Under Lu Fan's persuasion, An Lan also put aside her reserve.

With quick reflexes, she darted behind a large rock like a nimble deer, muttering as she ran, "I'm over here, you're over there, don't peek!"

Her shy yet adorable appearance made Lu Fan unable to suppress a smile.

Lu Fan feigned grievance, shrugged, and said helplessly, "How could I dare? I'm busy preparing to enjoy this natural bathing beach."

As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes in a very carefree manner. Before long, he was "completely naked," and then, like a joyful fish, he plunged into the hot spring, splashing up a large amount of crystal-clear water.

"Wow, this water temperature is amazing!"

Lu Fan stretched out his limbs with ease, tumbling in the water like a dolphin, feeling the gentle caress of the warm spring water, his face full of enjoyment.

Anlan hid behind a rock, carefully took off her clothes, and first stretched out one foot, like a cautious explorer, gently testing the water temperature. It was warm and very comfortable.

Then she slowly submerged herself in the water, leaving only her head above the surface, enjoying the warmth of the spring water. Her tense nerves instantly relaxed, and she murmured softly, "So comfortable..."

Just then, several mischievous golden monkeys came over.

A slightly larger golden monkey, like an experienced masseur, tiptoed onto Lu Fan's back and gently massaged him with its nimble little paws.

Lu Fan was taken aback at first, then realized what he meant and burst into laughter: "Wow, you even know this skill? Okay, give me a good massage."

The golden monkey seemed to understand and worked even harder, its little paws rhythmically kneading Lu Fan's back, sometimes pressing lightly, sometimes kneading firmly, making Lu Fan so comfortable that his eyes narrowed into slits, and he even hummed a tuneless little tune: "Pinch left, rub right, this life is better than being a god..."

On the other hand, An Lan also couldn't "escape" the golden monkey's "enthusiastic service".

A little golden monkey, carrying a large leaf, wobbled over to her and placed the leaf on her head, as if putting a fashionable hat on her.

An Lan chuckled, amused: "You little rascal, you're quite creative."

She gently stroked the little golden monkey's head, and the little monkey chirped happily a few times, as if responding to her praise.

After soaking for a while, a clever golden monkey started rummaging through Lu Fan's hair.

A moment later, he proudly held up a small object; it turned out to be a louse.

It seemed to have accomplished some remarkable task, squeaking as it showed off to its companions.

Lu Fan saw it and pretended to be disgusted, saying, "Oh my god, this is so dirty. Thank you, but be gentle, my hair can't take this kind of mess."

The golden monkey tilted its head, seemingly not understanding, but still obediently stopped searching and jumped aside to play.

The live stream chat instantly became lively, with comments flooding in like snowflakes.

"Haha, I'm so envious of the treatment that God Lu gets. He even has a monkey helping him massage and remove lice."

"Goddess Anlan must have been amused by these little guys while she was behind the rock."

"Damn the mosaic, I can't see anything."

"These hot springs and monkeys are simply the ultimate luxury in the wilderness!"

"I remember seeing news reports of monkeys injuring people on Mount Emei on my phone when I was a child."

"People from Mount Emei: It's all staged!"

Anlan, hiding behind the rock, was also amused by the golden monkeys' antics and kept laughing.

A little golden monkey climbed onto her shoulder and gently tugged at her hair, as if playing some fun game.

An Lan laughed and said, "Don't mess up my hair, or I'll come after you."

The little golden monkey tilted its head and looked at her with an innocent expression, looking so cute that An Lan couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

Lu Fan was relaxing in the hot spring when he suddenly had a brilliant idea. He called out to An Lan, "An Lan, how about we play a game? Let's see who can hold their breath the longest."

An Lan, not to be outdone, retorted, "Let's compete then! Who's afraid of who!"

The two took a deep breath and plunged into the water.

The golden monkeys curiously gathered around them, watching them intently, and occasionally slapping the water with their paws as if cheering them on.

After a while, Lu Fan was the first to surface from the water, panting heavily: "I can't take it anymore, I give up."

An Lan also surfaced, a victorious smile on her face: "Haha, I knew I could beat you."

The laughter of the two echoed above the hot spring, mingling with the calls of the golden monkeys to create a unique symphony, full of joy and warmth.

After soaking for a long time, both of their skin turned slightly red.

Lu Fan stretched and said, "That's enough. If we soak them any longer, they'll get overcooked."

He looked at his hands and feet; the skin was wrinkled, like soaked raisins.

An Lan smiled and nodded, then began to get up.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

Chinese contestant Lu Fan triggers a 10,000-fold return.

【Natural hot spring*】

Subsequently, hot springs rose up along with the mountains and appeared within China's borders.

For a time, the entire land of China seemed to be enchanted by nature, with warm hot springs bubbling up everywhere, steaming and dreamlike.

Live broadcast room.

"Wow, hot springs! I definitely have to try them out."

"Hey upstairs, let's do it together, one has appeared near our village."

"I noticed that many experts have fenced off the hot springs. What's going on? They're not letting people use them."

"Oh no, I've already taken my pants off."

A video quickly circulated online, showing people in uniforms carrying various instruments running to the hot spring, and soldiers surrounding the hot spring.

The public began to discuss the matter, and opinions were divided. Everyone was curious and puzzled by this sudden change.

At this point, the hosts Wang Tao and Zhao Hangjun were called away, but after a while they returned to the live broadcast room with smiles on their faces.

Wang Tao, suppressing his excitement, spoke first: "Let me explain the video online. Because the hot spring brings the entire mountain range with it, the underground heat energy is also brought over, which means we can extract this heat energy."

His voice was filled with excitement, as if he were announcing some incredibly good news.

Zhao Hangjun, also with a smile, added: "Geothermal energy has a wide range of applications, including power generation and heating. Once successfully developed, it will greatly facilitate our lives."

In Japan, viewers in the live stream were filled with envy as they looked at China's hot springs and geothermal energy.

Someone wrote sourly in the comments: "Hmph, it's just good luck. What's so great about it? Our hot springs in Japan are just as good."

But someone quickly countered, "That's far from the truth. They offer a ten-thousand-fold return, plus geothermal energy that can be used to generate electricity. What about us?"

At this point, some Chinese viewers left comments below.

"It's just heat energy. Let your American daddy send you two more little boys. They'll be hot enough to keep you warm for at least a few years."

"Damn it, upstairs, how can you say something so stingy? Two isn't enough, you should at least have a set."

"Hehe, if your American daddy is reluctant, our China can do it for you."
