The two competitions clearly showed the gap between the challengers and the challengers. The competition for the top four was fierce, and Luo Zeng and Liu Nannan's performances refreshed netizens' understanding of the rich second generation.
"I always thought that rich kids were just like those in TV dramas, good for nothing but money and good looks, and they just act arrogantly and domineeringly because their families are rich."
"Don't be brainwashed by the image of rich kids portrayed in TV dramas. In fact, most wealthy families value their children's education."
"My best friend is a rich second generation, but she works much harder than me, an ordinary person. She only sleeps six hours a day without fail, spends an hour exercising, and the rest of the time is spent either studying this or that. When we finally manage to go shopping, she's on her phone practicing for the IELTS exam. I feel ashamed."
There's a saying that it's hard for children from poor families to become successful. One reason is that they don't have enough resources to support their offspring, and another is that their parents are short-sighted. Parents from wealthy families would never raise their children to be useless. Of course, it's not allowed to use one or two special cases to argue. If you argue, then you're right.
These two wealthy second-generation heirs received extremely high praise, and their number of fans in the live stream quickly surpassed that of the two martial arts actors who started the show.
These two martial arts actors initially had a decent level of fan engagement, but once they were removed from the special effects in the movies and TV shows, their performances became somewhat unremarkable.
However, it still holds the second position.
It was almost noon, but the production team showed no signs of stopping. They only gave everyone 30 minutes to catch their breath before taking everyone to another location.
In the center of the area, there was a pile of branches, weeds, and vines, as well as a black toolbox.
The host came forward to introduce the upcoming matches.
"The fighting is over. Next, we will test everyone's hands-on skills. You should know that fire is essential in the wild, so this round is about starting a fire. Teams should work together to start a fire using these materials. The fastest team to start a fire will get 10 points, the second place will get 9 points, and so on down to 1 point. If you fail to start a fire within one hour, you will get 0 points."
This is where the surprise comes from the popularity score. The group with the highest total popularity score gets priority in choosing materials, but only for one minute.
Luo Zeng and Liu Nannan were the first to select materials. They agreed to split up, with Liu Nannan selecting from the toolbox and Luo Zeng from the piles of wood. However, the toolbox was very dark, so no one knew what was inside, but they all guessed that it would most likely contain knives or daggers.
Luo Zeng and Liu Nannan sprinted over at top speed, covering the distance in just five seconds. Liu Nannan had some experience in the wild, often camping with Luo Zeng. She immediately spotted the Swiss Army knife, which had the most comprehensive functions. After getting it, she quickly headed towards the dead branches, gathering as many materials as possible, and returned to the starting point before the countdown ended.
The Swiss Army knife pleased both of them greatly, as it would significantly speed up the process of starting a fire by friction. Liu Nannan confidently declared, "Luo Zeng, we're sure to get first place this time."
Judging from Liu Nannan's words, the remaining items in the toolbox must be quite different from this Swiss Army knife.
The second popular duo to select materials were Lu Wenbin and Liang Tianfen. This time, they brought back a dagger as long as a palm from their toolbox.
Although it can't compare to a Swiss Army knife, it's still very useful.
The third popular combination is Yan Shuangwen's toolbox. She calmly picked out a utility knife, which is very lightweight and sharp, making it easy to use for making small things.
Next up were Yu Qiang and Yu Tian, who brought back a saw from their toolbox. They really didn't have anything suitable, which explains why Liu Nannan was so confident.
Wang Yao was really worried about letting Wang Xiaoxiao go to the toolbox, so he had to go himself. Before he started, he repeatedly told Yang Xiaoxiao not to forget anything, and that everything should be as dry as possible, including branches, dry grass, and vines.
Having done so many wilderness survival live streams, he has absolute confidence in his ability to start a fire.
This time, Yang Xiaoxiao didn't make any mistakes. On the contrary, Wang Yao was disheartened when he saw what was left in the box. There were hardly any usable items left.
After looking left and right, I reluctantly grabbed a file. Something is better than nothing, and a file is a knife too, so it can be put to use.
Judging from the varying quality of the items being picked up, Li Sheng knew that the good stuff in the box had already been taken, and what was left were probably just inferior and useless.
However, he did discover something interesting. The production team had even prepared a shortcut, and he set his sights on an ordinary-looking stone.
However, it wasn't just Li Sheng who saw it; other challengers saw it too, including Yan Shuangwen. But by then, there was no chance to regret it. The stone had been blocked by other things at first, so they hadn't noticed it. They could only blame their bad luck.
Also noticing it were biology professors Wang Xingguo and Jia Xinye. When it was revealed, they recognized it as flint at first glance based on their knowledge. In the wild, there are not only ways to make fire by friction, but also by striking stones.
It was their turn next. Neither the teacher nor the student spoke. Most people wouldn't recognize the stone and would simply ignore it. Both of them felt that this time they could finally unleash their true strength.
Unfortunately, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Just when everyone thought the tools in the toolbox were the most important, Li Sheng handed the task over to the Milk Team.
"Take whichever metal lump you like best, okay?"
Li Sheng already had five or six million followers in his live stream. Some people felt that Li Sheng's behavior was too contemptuous and overconfident.
"Is the streamer getting a little too arrogant? He'll be proven wrong if he can't conceive later."
"Just treat this as a parent-child activity. After all, both father and daughter are physically strong, so as long as they are happy, the main thing is to have a wonderful parent-child time."
"Don't say that. There's nothing we can do about it. If we let the milk team get wood, how much could they get? They couldn't possibly get it all. Actually, it can be done without tools. It's just a matter of efficiency."
These newcomers knew nothing about their jungler, while the veteran fans started explaining Li Sheng's past achievements. They said their jungler wasn't just all brawn and no brains; he was incredibly intelligent, practically an ignorant and short-sighted human.
