Liu Nannan and Luo Zeng are a duo that is almost universally recognized by the audience. They are incredibly strong and have excellent practical skills. However, it seems that they are now competing with the twin sisters.
These two teams are evenly matched. While Yan Shuangwu isn't particularly skilled at delicate work, it's Yan Shuangwen's forte.
Women are naturally physically inferior to men, and it's difficult to surpass them no matter how hard they try later in life. However, women have an advantage in this aspect.
However, Yan Shuangwen's advantage was somewhat hampered by his younger sister Shuangwu. Luo Zeng and Liu Nannan had a clear division of labor: one made the drill bit and the other twisted the rope. Both of them were very fast.
Yan Shuangwu was a bit less skilled. Breaking the wooden stick with her bare hands was a piece of cake for her, but she had to be very careful when doing other things, which slowed her down.
However, the twin sisters' team ultimately took third place, while Luo Zeng and Liu Nan came in fourth.
Wang Yao really wanted to curse. If he had known there was such a convenient method, why bother drilling? What were those people in the team doing all this time? They never even mentioned striking a stone to make fire.
To save time, Wang Yao didn't bother to make any auxiliary tools to make the drill bit spin automatically to start a fire. Instead, he just used his hands to rub the wood. His palms were practically on fire from rubbing them together.
A wisp of smoke could be seen coming out, but there was no spark. Yang Xiaoxiao squatted to the side watching, but she didn't know how to start a fire by rubbing sticks together.
Wang Yao gritted his teeth and didn't give up even though his palms were burning. As a wilderness livestreamer, if he couldn't get the fire going, how could he continue to live his life?
Fortunately, it took a long time to get the fire going. Before, Wang Yao had his own team, but they were just there for show. He only realized how difficult it was when he actually got his hands dirty.
Wang Yao's team got three points in this round, thankfully they weren't at the bottom.
In this segment, all the teams successfully started their fires, indicating that everyone had made preparations. It won't be easy for him to survive to the end in this survival challenge.
After the event concluded, the results for each group in the main live stream were also released.
First place: Li Sheng (Li Tuantuan) - 45 points.
Tied for first place: Luo Zeng and Liu Nannan, both with 45 points.
Second place: Yan Shuangwen, Yan Shuangwu, 42 points.
Third place: Yu Qiang, Yu Tian, 41 points.
Fourth place: Lu Wenbin; Liang Tianfen: 30 points.
...
Ninth place: Wang Yao and Yang Xiaoxiao, 25 points.
Wang Yao almost cursed as he listened to the host read out the rankings. It was all Yang Xiaoxiao's fault. If she hadn't kept dragging the team down, the rankings wouldn't have been so low. If they hadn't been careful, they wouldn't have gotten a spot at all.
What a big-breasted, brainless woman!
When Yang Xiaoxiao saw the camera coming towards her, she twisted her body into a very alluring curve.
Zhang Hang watched Sheng Ge's live stream from home, clipping the highlights and editing them into videos to upload to the platform.
I couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother Sheng is just as amazing as ever!"
Zhang Hang was hoping that Li Sheng could become a dark horse, invincible. Only if Brother Sheng did well could he, as his underling, get some benefits. The feeling of being forced to drink until he was half dead while performing pole dancing in a bar was not pleasant.
It's already 11:05 a.m. The breakfasts prepared by the production team this morning are all fixed portions. The women are fine, but the men digest quickly and are already hungry. However, the production team has no intention of stopping.
A truck brought in a black logistics bag, and when the bag was opened, all the weeds inside were dumped out on the ground like garbage.
The production team gave each team a small bag of salt.
The next challenge is to find edible wild vegetables among this pile of plants and cook them into edible food using the fire you build and the salt provided by the production team.
This tests the challengers' knowledge of wild plants. Carnivores can run away, but plants take root. Most challengers face the primary problems of water, food, and shelter upon entering the challenge area.
It's hard to survive without food.
This is something that Li Sheng and Naituan are quite familiar with.
However, for the sake of the show's efficiency, a time limit was set. All challengers had only three minutes to select ingredients. They would receive one point for each edible plant they selected, and one point would be deducted if they mistakenly selected a poisonous plant.
This project is Yan Shuangwen, Wang Guoqiang, and Jia Xingye's forte, and of course, it's also Li Sheng's forte.
This segment was like a free win for them, and in theory, it should have been a favorable project for Wang Yao as well. But little did they know that he only talked about a few kinds of wild vegetables over and over again in his live stream.
The team buys everything themselves through their own channels, grows it in a place, and then pretends to go looking for it during the live stream. He knows some of the vegetables are edible, but he doesn't know their names.
But it doesn't matter, as long as we know it's edible, that's enough. There are also bunches of red fruit that look very tempting. Although I've never eaten them before, they look like they should be edible.
The three minutes passed quickly. This time, Grandpa Bei personally inspected the wild vegetables that everyone had collected, and saw that Li Sheng and Wang Guoxing's baskets were the fullest.
However, the checks start with the fewest people and only proceed to the very end for those ranked higher, in order to whet the audience's appetite.
As expected, the biologist professor won the admiration of the old man. In just three minutes, the two of them found twelve kinds of edible wild vegetables. Yang Xiaoxiao from Wang Yao's group was clever. Although she did not recognize any wild vegetables, she silently wrote down what others had picked. When it was their turn, they found four kinds based on their memory.
Wang Yao found eight kinds, three of which were the same as Yang Xiaoxiao's, so the two of them found a total of nine kinds. Bei Ye looked at them one by one and explained them to the audience at the same time. When he got to the bright red fruit, he shook his head.
"I'm sorry, your team will have one point deducted. This fruit cannot be eaten."
Wang Yao hates it when others disagree with him, so he raised his voice: "Why can't I eat it? I think it's edible. At most, it's just not tasty, but you can't say it's bad. I'll eat it right now to show you."
Li Sheng was afraid that Wang Yao would do something stupid, so he immediately snatched the red fruit from Wang Yao.
"This is indeed inedible and highly poisonous. It is called Abrus precatorius, a vine belonging to the legume family and the genus Abrus. Ingesting Abrus precatorius seeds or inhaling Abrus precatorius powder can be life-threatening."
Grandpa knew this thing was inedible, but he hadn't expected it to be so poisonous. Although he was an expert in wilderness survival, he only knew a small fraction of the millions of plants in nature.
This athlete, Mr. Li, not only possesses strong overall physical qualities but also a well-rounded mind. He has high expectations for this combination.
The professors also came over, and since this is their area of expertise, they provided a very professional explanation.
"Abrus precatorius seeds are highly toxic; less than 3 micrograms can be fatal. Once the toxin enters the human body, it binds to cell membranes and inhibits protein synthesis, which is one of the most important functions of cells."
