An Lan, who was standing to the side, was focused on bundling up the grass that Lu Fan had cut.

With practiced skill, her slender fingers deftly moved through the grass, and in no time, she had neatly arranged the clumps of grass.

"This grass is a treasure! It can be cut down and used directly as fodder, dried and woven into straw mats, and decomposed into fertilizer. Grass is wonderful! I love grass, I love grass!"

As Lu Fan vigorously shoveled the soil, he talked excitedly to himself, as if he had discovered a treasure.

An Lan couldn't help but chuckle softly, her hands continuing their work, but she muttered to herself, "This guy's words sound a bit strange, but I can't quite put my finger on it."

At this moment, the live broadcast room was also bustling with activity.

"Ah, Lu Fan and I finally have something in common! I also love grass! Give me grass! Give me grass!"

"Hey upstairs, I'll say it again, I'll give you some fuck."

"No, this conversation seems familiar."

"Damn it, you bunch of losers."

Lu Fan was like a tireless human-shaped shovel, shoveling one shovel after another, each shovel full of energy.

His enhanced body was full of power, and with each swing of his shovel, he could scoop up a large chunk of dirt and weeds.

Suddenly, a loud "clang" rang out, like the sound of metal colliding, which was particularly jarring in the quiet field and startled Anlan, who was concentrating on bundling grass.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" An Lan panicked and dropped the grass in her hand, rushing over.

Lu Fan shook his numb hand, a look of confusion on his face, as if he had struck an incredibly hard rock.

"What's going on?" He frowned, leaned closer to examine it, and discovered that it was a large rock hidden in the soil, with only a small corner showing.

"Good grief, you're trying to trip me up?" Lu Fan's competitive spirit flared up. He put down his hoe, gripped the stone tightly with both hands, gritted his teeth, and used all his strength, his face turning red, trying to move it.

However, the stone seemed to have taken root and remained completely still.

Lu Fan, however, fell to the ground with a thud because he had used too much force.

An Lan looked at his disheveled appearance and laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up: "Are you performing acrobatics?"

Lu Fan scratched his head awkwardly and said with a wry smile, "This rock is really stubborn. It seems that I won't be able to farm this land until I get rid of it today."

At this moment, An Lan suppressed a laugh, walked over, squatted down, carefully observed the position of the stone, and then said confidently, "Let's try together. I'll pry it from this side, and you push it from the other side."

The two men took their positions, took a deep breath, and shouted in unison, "One, two, three, push!" With a shout, they exerted their strength at the same time, veins bulging on their foreheads and sweat streaming down their cheeks.

Finally, with their combined efforts, the large rock was successfully moved and rolled aside.

"Phew, finally done." Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the large beads of sweat from his forehead, and looked at the stone that had been moved. He felt a great sense of accomplishment and a victorious smile spread across his face.

An Lan patted him on the shoulder and said approvingly, "Not bad, you have quite the perseverance."

After a short rest, the two continued digging.

But soon, new problems arose one after another.

The land was covered with dense grass roots, like a complex and intertwined net, making it difficult for their tools to penetrate deep into the soil.

With each stroke of the hoe, I felt as if I were being pulled by an invisible force.

"What should we do?" An Lan asked, frowning and looking worried.

Lu Fan stopped what he was doing, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's loosen the soil around the grass roots with a hoe first, and then pull them out by hand. That should be easier."

So the two divided the work, with Lu Fan wielding a hoe and loosening the soil bit by bit.

An Lan squatted on the ground, carefully pulling out the grass roots one by one. Her fingers were red from being cut by the grass roots, but she persisted without complaining.

Before long, both of them started to feel soreness in their lower backs, and it became difficult for them to straighten up.

But none of them complained of being tired. They would just straighten up occasionally, rub their sore backs, and then continue working.

As she was pulling, Anlan suddenly spotted a small insect, which startled her so much that she screamed, "Ah! What is that?"

She took a few steps back abruptly, her face filled with terror.

Lu Fan rushed over, took a look, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be afraid, these are earthworms. They're good for the soil and can make the land more fertile."

An Lan breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest sheepishly, and said, "I thought it was something scary."

After several hours of tireless effort, they finally cleared the grass roots from the land.

Exhausted, the two collapsed onto the ground, gazing at the azure sky, panting heavily, yet filled with a sense of accomplishment.

"Haha, finally done!" Lu Fan shouted excitedly, his voice echoing across the open fields.

An Lan smiled and said, "I didn't expect farming to be so difficult, but looking at this land that we've cleared, I really feel a sense of accomplishment."

"Yes, I truly understand the weight of the words 'every grain is hard-earned'." Lu Fan said with deep emotion, his eyes filled with appreciation for the fruits of labor.

At this moment, the viewers in the live broadcast room were also moved by their hard work and left messages one after another.

"Yes, thinking about it, it's because we didn't know how to conserve resources and wasted them like crazy in previous years that we have this situation."

"When I was a child, I went with my family to harvest wheat, and my skin was so sunburned that it peeled off."

"If Professor Yuan could see the world today, he would probably be very disappointed."

"Our country is still good. At least the country has not abandoned us. Look at those Western countries. The upper class is glamorous, but the lower class is littered with corpses."

Just then, some exciting news arrived.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

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

Fertile and well-watered land*

Ten thousand fertile plots of land appeared in an instant on that once barren desert within China, like a dreamlike miracle.

The once barren desert, filled with yellow sand and devoid of life, is now covered with fertile land.

The entire country of China was instantly swept up in an indescribable joy and excitement.

People spread the news in the streets and alleys, their faces beaming with happiness.

The news spread like a swift spring breeze, reaching every corner of the motherland at an extremely fast pace.

Some elderly people, recalling the years when they toiled on the barren land but reaped meager harvests, couldn't help but shed tears.

They reached out their hands, trembling, to touch this hard-won land, murmuring, "This is a gift from heaven; our descendants have hope."

They deeply understand the significance of land to farmers; it is the foundation upon which generations have depended for survival and the source of their hope.

Hosts Wang Tao and Zhao Hangjun were equally stunned and speechless by this sudden surprise in the live broadcast room.

Their eyes widened as they stared at the screen, as if they couldn't believe their ears. After a brief silence, Wang Tao's voice trembled slightly as he excitedly exclaimed, "What a miracle! Lu Fan, through his hard work and a stroke of luck, has brought these ten thousand plots of fertile land to our country! What does this mean? It means that our agricultural development will usher in a completely new chapter!"

His face beamed with pride, and his voice was filled with admiration for Lu Fan.

Zhao Hangjun nodded repeatedly, adding, "Yes, that once barren desert is about to be full of life again, becoming a field that nurtures life and hope!"

His eyes gleamed with excitement, and his words were full of anticipation for the future.

Their eyes were filled with satisfaction and pride, and their words were full of praise and admiration for Lu Fan.

Upon learning of this news, the Chinese leadership also highly praised Lu Fan's heroic act.

At an emergency meeting, a leader remarked with emotion: "Lu Fan's achievement is not only a personal honor, but also a tremendous contribution to the entire country. He has shown us the power to persevere in adversity and the glimmer of hope. This land will provide a solid guarantee for our country's food security and inject new vitality into economic development."

The other leaders all expressed their agreement and unanimously decided to commend Lu Fan.

At the same time, a team of experts was quickly organized to formulate a development and utilization plan for this land, ensuring that it can generate the greatest benefits in the shortest possible time.

However, in other corners of the world, envious eyes are being shot at China like arrows.

Upon hearing the news, some viewers in Japan turned so gloomy their faces seemed to drip water.

"Hmph, it's just good luck. Anyone could have such a windfall. It's nothing special," they said sourly, their tone full of envy and resentment.

However, his remarks were quickly drowned out by comments from netizens.

One netizen retorted without hesitation: "Why don't you try triggering a 10,000x return by doing wilderness survival? If you're so capable, why don't you bring this much fertile land to Japan!"

People in the US also couldn't suppress their jealousy and made sarcastic remarks during the live stream.

"This might just be a publicity stunt by China. Who knows if those lands are really as fertile as they say?"

They are trying to smear China's achievements to cover up their own jealousy.

However, their doubts were completely unfounded and were quickly refuted by the land survey report released by China.

The report shows that these lands are rich in various minerals and organic matter, making them extremely high-quality arable land.

Faced with the undeniable facts, the American athletes could only slink away and shut up, though they remained secretly resentful.
