Chapter 164 NOI opens camp, four people gather together (first update)
NOI Summer Camp, also known as CTSC, is the national team selection competition.
There were a total of 15 people on the camp entry list, and 4 were finally selected to participate in the IOI International Competition.
The training location is at B University, which is next to Q University.
Jiang Fuyue has not checked in yet. She is still living in the Q University dormitory. Of course, this is also the result of reporting and arrangement.
"Sister Yue!" Fan Ye, who had just entered the school gate, jumped and waved at her. Her healthy wheat-colored skin seemed to be covered with a layer of honey glaze under the sunlight, and her two rows of small teeth were bright white.
Jiang Fuyue walked over with a smile and pretended to take the snakeskin bag from her hand. "Go register. I'll help you keep your things."
The next second, Fan Ye dodged sideways.
She raised an eyebrow.
Fan Ye was anxious: "Don't carry it, it's very heavy!"
As he spoke, he straightened the bag in a few seconds and put it at his feet. It looked easy and effortless.
"Hehe..." She smiled at Jiang Fuyue, "That's good."
After saying that, he trotted over to register, got the key, and ran back.
"Sister Yue, I'm fine now, let's go upstairs!"
The accommodation conditions here are obviously better than those in Q. Apart from other things, the configuration of the single rooms is much better than that of mixed rooms.
At least to some extent, a lot of trouble can be avoided.
Especially for special cases like Fan Ye.
Soon, Gao Zhaoming and Huang Hui also checked in, packed up and came to find Fanye.
The four met.
Gao Zhaoming seemed to have gained a little weight, and when he smiled he looked fair and innocent, like a little arhat.
Huang Hui hasn't changed much, he's still tall and thin.
As for the lush leaves...
"Why did you become darker?!" The fat boy Gao Zhaoming is obviously a straight man.
Huang Hui nodded. It was not that he was overreacting, but after not seeing her for half a month, Fan Ye had indeed become visibly darker.
The key point is, “a lot”.
When Fan Ye heard this, she smiled and was not angry. Of course, it might also be because a fourteen-year-old girl did not have a "concept of beauty and ugliness".
"I've been working in the fields lately, and I've been exposed to too much sun, so this is what happened."
"In the field?"
"Work?"
"Yes, I'm harvesting millet with my father, digging the dry fields, sowing wheat, and planting broad beans and peas. In half a month, we can plant radishes and cabbages..."
Gao Zhaoming swallowed his saliva and asked, "Does this all need to be done by humans? Can't machines be used?"
"It's possible, but many Cunxi people find it hard to accept. Oh, Cunxi means 'tribe member' in your Chinese."
Huang Hui's eyes widened: "You still have tribesmen?"
"Of course, we are the Duofu people. We have not only people, but also a tribe."
Gao Zhaoming: "Do they all live in tents?"
Fan Ye: "We don't live in tents, we live in bamboo houses."
"Is it the kind that uses bamboo to support the bottom to prevent moisture?"
"right."
"That must be very beautiful." Gao Zhaoming looked longingly.
When Fan Ye mentioned her hometown, her eyes lit up and she immediately started talking. "Where we are, you can see the sunrise at six o'clock every day. It's as red as a salted duck egg yolk when it first rises, but the light is not dazzling at all. At this time, you can lie on the platform outside the bamboo building, listening to songs while watching the sunrise. These songs are not pop songs played on mobile phones or speakers, but the chants that come out of the scripture building every day. After listening to them, you will feel that your whole body and soul have been cleansed... When the sun is higher, you can have breakfast. After breakfast, you can eat a multi-fruit to help digestion and quench your thirst..."
Gao Zhaoming: "What is Duofuguo?"
Fan Ye seemed to remember something, opened the snakeskin bag at his feet, and took out a bunch of black, round fruits from it. The shells were hard, black and oily, the size of an adult's fist, and quite heavy.
Jiang Fuyue was stunned when he saw it.
Memories kept flashing through my mind. I didn’t expect that after twenty years, the fruits are bigger than they were back then.
That guy Fan Sheng should be grinning from ear to ear, right?
After all, he guarded this fruit like he was guarding the Tianshan Snow Lotus. He couldn't bear to eat it himself, and was afraid that others would eat it.
Huang Hui stretched out a finger and poked it, asking, "What is this?"
Fan Ye: "So many floating fruits!"
As he spoke, he picked up one and broke it open with his bare hands. The black shell cracked off, revealing the pink flesh inside.
It’s not as peachy and blood-red as the red-fleshed dragon fruit, but pure cherry blossom pink. Not to mention how it tastes, just looking at it makes people very appetizing!
Gao Zhaoming swallowed helplessly. In fact, his salivary glands began to protest when Fan Ye started describing the sunrise.
"Is it delicious?"
"Of course! You try it--" As she said that, Fan Ye handed him the fruit flesh with shell, which was convenient and easy to hold.
Then he broke one for Huang Hui and Jiang Fuyue.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
"Hmm!" The little fat boy Gao Zhaoming nodded frantically. What kind of delicious food is this?
It is sweet but not greasy, and has a fresh fragrance. When you eat it, you feel that the whole stomach is emitting a charming flavor.
After Huang Hui took a bite, his eyes suddenly brightened and he couldn't help but speed up his eating. When Fan Ye asked about it, he had no space in his mouth and could only peck at the rice like a chicken to show his approval.
“…I’ve never eaten this kind of fruit before, it’s so delicious!”
Fan Ye raised her chin proudly. "They're everywhere on our island. We can pick them up at will. There are even bigger ones with fragrance that can spread dozens of meters. We pick them and make Duofuba, which is also pink."
"Oh my God! The Garden of Eden on earth! I really want to go there." Gao Zhaoming took the second Duofu fruit handed to him by Fan Ye, and sighed as he ate it.
Fan Ye immediately responded, "Great, great! Welcome to our island! Actually, my father really wants to develop tourism. He says you can make a lot of money in this industry, but it seems that outsiders don't dare to come to the island..."
Thinking of those online comments that people should avoid like the devil, Gao Zhaoming and Huang Hui would not have dared to go if they had not heard Fan Ye describe in person how beautiful Duofu was today.
They belong to the main consumer force of the youngest generation, and they are knowledgeable, cultured and novelty-seeking students. Even they dare not set foot there, so you can imagine what others might do.
"Fan Ye, you just said that your father wants to develop the tourism industry?"
Can an island’s tourism industry be developed just by ordinary residents if they want to?
Huang Hui felt strange and simply asked directly.
"My father is the chief of the tribe. His duty is to lead all the tribe members to prosperity and a good life!"
"Wow—Chief?" Gao Zhaoming looked surprised. "Isn't that impressive?"
"Yes! My father is really amazing. He knows a lot of things that other people in the tribe don't, and he teaches them patiently and carefully. I learned how to compete in information competitions from him!"
"Wow, your father is really ahead of the times and even knows how to compete."
Last time, Fan Ye scored a high score of 193, ranking second in the semi-finals after Jiang Fuyue, which was better than both of them.
"Does your entire clan have the surname Fan?"
"No, my father and I are the only ones in the entire clan with the surname Fan."
"Well...can I ask what your father's name is?" The surname Fan is not easy to come up with.
Before this, Gao Zhaoming had never even heard of it.
Fan Ye said frankly: "My father's name is Fan Sheng!"
As expected, both of them couldn't help but curl their lips.
Even Jiang Fuyue's eyes couldn't help but flash a smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Fan Ye said anxiously, "My father said that this is the name given to him by Agta, which means descendants, close clan, prosperity and flourishing!"
Huang Hui: "Agata? Who is this?"
Fan Ye: "It's someone else, it's the Moon Goddess!"
Dad said that his name is the most beautiful in the world, it is a gift from God, and it is a blessing.
Gao Zhaoming: "Is the Moon Goddess beautiful?"
"Yes!" Fan Ye nodded heavily. "My father said that Agta is the most beautiful incarnation in the world. There is ice and snow in her eyes, and underneath the ice and snow is a fire. This fire has brought new hope to the Duofu people."
"Has your father seen her?"
"I have seen it!" she blurted out without thinking.
Gao Zhaoming and Huang Hui looked at each other, neither of them quite believed it, but neither of them said it out loud, choosing to respect Fan Ye's beliefs.
After eating the fruit, Fan Ye distributed several other local specialties she brought to the three of them.
"This is lily of the valley, it's especially good when soaked in water."
"This is a paulownia glaze pillow, fired using a special technique. Although it doesn't look very good and is a bit heavy, it helps with sleeping."
“This is…”
Several people stood by and watched Fan Ye empty the bulging snakeskin bags one by one, until only a few simple items of luggage were left. They felt complicated.
The fat boy Gao Zhaoming's eyes were red. His skin was originally fair, and the red circles were even more obvious. "Why did you give it all to us?"
Fan Ye smiled: "I originally brought it for you!"
Huang Hui took a deep breath, suppressing the emotion and inexplicable warmth that surged in his heart: "Won't so many things be heavy?"
"It won't sink. I'm very strong!"
Gao Zhaoming was holding a bunch of floating fruits in one hand and wanted to wipe his eyes, so he put the tung glaze pillow in his other hand on the table.
Jiang Fuyue noticed his intention and subconsciously stopped him: "Don't do that!"
At the same time, Fan Ye also realized: "Hey! We can't do this..."
The two spoke almost at the same time.
Gao Zhaoming froze, not daring to move.
Fan Ye paused for two seconds, as if reacting, and suddenly her bright eyes shot straight at Jiang Fuyue: "You know?!"
