Chapter 89 Is it a jinx?



Never mind them, didn't you say you were hungry? Hurry up and get something to eat.

Sang Ning hummed in agreement and continued whittling their wooden sticks. The audience was puzzled and asked her what she was doing.

Sang Ning's answer was that she wanted to spear fish, a topic that touched on a blind spot in the audience's knowledge.

There's nothing shameful about asking questions when you don't understand something.

However, Sang Ning was not a good teacher. After she explained what spearfishing was, the audience still couldn't imagine the scene based on her description. It wasn't until Sang Ning sharpened the stick, took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her trousers, and walked towards the sea, that the audience was able to understand. She stood quietly in the seawater for about five or six minutes with a sharpened piece of wood in her hand, and then suddenly and swiftly thrust the stick into the seawater.

"We've caught them."

Before the audience could even react to what was happening, Sang Ning picked up a wooden stick with a rather large fish stuck in it.

The fish was still alive, its tail wagging wildly.

"Luckily, it's a grouper."

Sang Ning happily carried the log ashore, but as she walked, she suddenly felt something sticking to her leg. She looked down and saw an octopus.

It's a pretty big octopus.

Sang Ning raised an eyebrow, but instead of rushing to remove the octopus from her leg, she continued walking towards the shore through the seawater.

The rock grouper on the stick was still frantically wagging its tail, but the force of the wagging was beginning to decrease.

[Wow, that sharpened stick actually managed to pierce a grouper! It makes me want to try it myself.]

[I seriously suspect Ningning has magic powers. I didn't even see any fish in the seawater, how did she know there were fish there?]

[Maybe, possibly, or perhaps I saw it?!]

[Stabbing a rock with a stick, all I can say is "666" (a Chinese internet slang for "awesome").]

By this time, Sang Ning had reached the shore. The octopus, deprived of seawater, didn't need her to move; it automatically detached from her calves and tried to run away, but Sang Ning caught it.

"Now that you're all ashore, don't leave. Stay and fill my stomach."

"Could you...could you share some with me?"

A faint, almost imperceptible voice suddenly rang out, startling Sang Ning, who exclaimed, "Who?"

The audience was stunned.

Holy crap, where did this guy come from?

[My god, contestant number 17 is incredibly elusive! We couldn't even spot him with a wide-angle view. If he hadn't quietly eliminated Sang Ning, none of us would have known what happened.]

Sang Ning was also terrified. She watched the man slowly emerge from behind an unknown tree and cautiously backed away.

This guy looks a bit dangerous.

With messy hair resembling a bird's nest, a face bruised and swollen beyond recognition, and a tattered protective suit that looked like rags, what could this contestant have gone through to get himself into this state?

To be honest, even Sharp Brother's current appearance pales in comparison.

This design is so striking, it's almost too striking to look at directly.

What's wrong with you?

"I was bitten by something I don't know."

Contestant number 17, Yu Zhehan, staggered out from behind the tree and walked towards Sang Ning. As he walked, Sang Ning retreated.

Seeing this, he helplessly chose a coconut tree and sat down against the trunk, saying weakly, "Don't worry, I'm not a threat to you in the slightest in my current condition."

Indeed, it's clear that if someone can't even walk steadily, they can't exert their full strength.

Furthermore, she is not someone who is powerless and unable to protect herself.

Thinking of this, Sang Ning stopped and said with some hesitation, "I think you should do it somewhere else."

Pointing to the large coconuts on the tree, she said, "A coconut falling down could kill someone. In your current state, I don't think you can withstand being hit by a coconut."

Before he could finish speaking, a coconut fell to the ground with a thud.

Sanning, "···"

Yu Zhehan, “!!!”

audience,"???"

Everyone stared in disbelief at the coconut that had fallen at Yu Zhehan's (own) feet, and fell silent.

What's this?

Is he a jinx?

Yu Zhehan looked up at Sang Ning and said with a forced smile, "I'm innocent. This has nothing to do with me. I already said I can't sit under a coconut tree."

"You'd better change your seat right away."

In her original world, there were instances of people being killed by falling coconuts.

Coconut trees are very tall, and a coconut is quite heavy. Even an egg, which is only the size of a small egg, can shatter a car window when it falls from a great height. It's not surprising that a coconut, which is much larger, can kill someone when it falls from a great height.

It's common sense that you shouldn't take shelter under a tree during a thunderstorm, or sit down to rest against a coconut tree at the beach.

"I really can't walk anymore."

Yu Zhehan wanted to leave the coconut tree, but his legs and arms were too weak, so he asked Sang Ning for help, "Could you... could you help me?"

Sang Ning raised an eyebrow. "How can I believe you're not faking it?"

The implication is that they are unwilling to help.

Before Yu Zhehan could say anything, his audience became unhappy.

[What's wrong with helping out? We're all contestants, it's not a life-or-death situation yet, there's really no need to be so greedy.]

[Sang Ning, please help our Hanhan! He was bitten by something unknown, and it's most likely poisoned. Don't worry, it can't hurt you.]

[Just because you can't hurt someone doesn't mean you have to help them. What do you take us for, Ningning? Do you think only Hanhan has an audience? We, Ningning, have an audience too, and we even have a son! Xingxingdiandeng, you better come out here right now, your father is being morally blackmailed by Hanhan's audience.]

Then, Sang Ning's audience split into two groups: one group went to argue with Yu Zhehan's audience, and the other group called for "Stars and Lights" to stand up for Sang Ning.

The stars twinkled, "..."

To be honest, I have a really, really rude thing to say.

However, one must bear the consequences of one's own actions, even on one's knees.

That should be fine!

[Just wait, I'll go and make those people who are trying to morally blackmail Ningning shut up.]

As soon as the barrage of comments appeared, "Starry Night" rushed into Yu Zhehan's live stream and began his spectacular performance of debating with everyone.

Sang Ning didn't pay attention; all her attention was focused on the survival gear that Zhe Han had taken out.

Yu Zhehan's survival gear is a bit strange; it consists of needles.

Sang Ning really couldn't understand what was going on with this production team, that they would even provide embroidery needles of various sizes.

In today's society, embroidery needles can only be found on impoverished planets like the one where the original owner lived. They don't exist anywhere else, and neither do shopping malls or manufacturers.

People on impoverished planets, due to extreme poverty, inconvenient transportation, and poor internet access, often experience situations where they wear new clothes for three years, then old ones for three years, and then patch them up for another three years. They can't buy durable, lightweight, comfortable, and temperature-regulating protective clothing. What can they do?

They could only buy cloth, and they had to buy it in large quantities, in huge quantities, because it was cheap. They could ask passing merchant ships to help carry it for them, and they only needed to pay a small carrying fee.

This is how Planet E72 buys and hoards fabric.

Buying clothes is out of the question; they're too expensive. I'll have to make them myself.
