Mr. Li was somewhat resistant to this affection from his daughter, but the Yun parents were completely smitten.
"The child has been busy all afternoon, so eat a little more or a little less."
"That's right. Our little one is only a few years old and he can already prepare meals for you. We can't let his good intentions go to waste."
"You're making the child's heart grow cold."
"I don't know how lucky I am. My good-for-nothing daughter only wants to drink milk and can lie on the ground and cry for an hour or two anytime."
"That's right, they have to eat it, even if it's poison. What father would bear to let his child down?"
...
Almost all the teams had completed the initial, most basic shelter, except for Li Sheng and Wang Yao's teams.
Wang Yao hadn't initially planned to build a shelter, but his tent was swept away by the rising tide, leaving him no choice but to start building one.
The shelter that received the most positive reviews was the one built by the twin sisters.
They collected many thick vines and formed a huge net between the two trees and their branches. The net was so strong that the two sisters could lie directly on it. They also wove a similar net on a higher branch and then collected many heavy leaves on top of the net to cover it, layer upon layer, to shield them from the rain and sun.
The two enormous trees were already lush with branches and leaves. Even if a storm came, the leaves of the taller trees would block most of the wind and rain, and the dripping rain would be blocked by the net they wove as a roof.
Meanwhile, many vines hung vertically from the edge, like the spider demon's spider web cave. The two sisters spent a great deal of effort to collect these huge vines. Yan Shuangwu had searched the area within a three-kilometer radius, but it was still not enough. The rest could only be collected slowly tomorrow.
The nets they sleep on are four or five meters above the ground, so they are not afraid of being attacked by wild animals on the ground. This is the best safety feature. In addition, the shelters of the other teams are all similar, but this group is the most innovative. Moreover, it is a team of two women. To be able to do this, their strength is definitely not inferior to that of men.
Not only are there many male fans, but there are even more female fans, and their support is very strong.
Next is Luo Zeng and Liu Nannan's group. The multi-functional Swiss Army knife played an extremely important role in the construction of the shelter. These two rich kids are also very knowledgeable. They used mortise and tenon structures for stability, but the shelter is relatively small.
It was a small triangle, and the two people were very crowded in the shelter. In addition, the environment was already humid and hot, and it became even more stuffy and uncomfortable after entering the shelter at night.
Although this shelter is not large, it is definitely the sturdiest. Even if there are large wild beasts outside, as long as they are inside the shelter, the wild beasts will have no chance against them.
The only downside is that it's too small. At night, once the door is closed, it's so stuffy that it's difficult to even breathe inside. The two of them can only try to press their faces as close to the crack in the door as possible.
So the two of them discussed making some improvements the next day, drilling two holes at the bottom of the back part as air vents, otherwise they wouldn't be able to rest at all.
Even so, Luo Zeng and Liu Nannan dared not leave the shelter, because they seemed to hear the footsteps of wild animals and dared not even breathe heavily.
Yu Qiang and Yu Tian also caught some prey today, a relatively small chicken, just enough for the two of them. Their shelter is also complete, located on a cliff. It is an open shelter with the open side facing the ocean. Every day, they can feel the gentle sea breeze, and they can enjoy the beautiful sunrise as soon as they open their eyes, as well as the afterglow of the sunset. It is the best viewing spot.
However, this open-style shelter has inevitably drawn criticism from viewers.
"What if a wild animal comes?"
"A buffet for wild animals?"
"Although, it's really beautiful, she really knows how to enjoy herself."
"What if you're a restless sleeper and roll off a cliff?"
"Whose child is such a restless sleeper, rolling seven or eight meters away and making a ruckus here?"
...
Yu Qiang and Yu Tian, holding their bows and arrows, said proudly, "Would any wild beast dare to come? Wouldn't that just be giving us an extra meal? We'll take them down one by one; they definitely wouldn't dare to get close."
These two were completely confident in their own strength and believed they could absolutely crush the beasts. They hadn't encountered any beasts since they arrived here and were unaware of their ferocity.
Meanwhile, thanks to the students' efforts, the shelter in Wang Guoqiang's team had become more robust. However, Wang Guoqiang's standards seemed a bit too high, and he was still not satisfied with it, though he couldn't pinpoint any problems. But he could find issues elsewhere.
His principle with students is to prevent them from becoming too arrogant. Arrogance easily leads to conceit, and once conceited, students become difficult to control. This student is the easiest for him to control.
"You did a good job, but you should be more meticulous and pay attention to aesthetics as well. Just like a student's exam paper, a clean and tidy paper can improve the score a lot. You can't be complacent just because you have achieved a little success, and you can't lose patience because of a few mosquitoes or bugs. We have a long way to go, and this journey will definitely be one of the most important lessons in your life when you look back on it in the future."
Jia Xingye was so exhausted that he didn't even want to argue: "Yes, yes, yes."
Anyone with eyes could see there was some resentment in his voice. He had been slacking off all day and hadn't rested for very long. On the other hand, the professor hadn't done anything all day except for finding some wild vegetables and a few fruits nearby.
He made all sorts of excuses, either saying he was old and had rheumatism, or that he had back pain. He sat down after moving only a few steps. He was completely controlled by his mouth. He did spray insect repellent, but he didn't spray the countless insect bites all over his body.
Wang Yao's shelter was indeed built quickly. In order to outdo Li Sheng, he worked through the night and it was finally completed by noon the next day.
To be honest, this shelter actually looks quite decent. At least it's the best-looking of all the shelters. In terms of area, it's also the largest one that has been built so far. The base is made of bamboo, with rows of bamboo and vines connected together. The whole thing is square, and it even has a proper-looking door.
The top is covered with large leaves, then thick layers of dry grass mixed with mud, and finally moss brought over from elsewhere to make it waterproof.
This time, Wang Yao performed exceptionally well, silencing those who were planning to mock him. Meanwhile, Yang Xiaoxiao returned with a lot of wild fruits and even found some stranded fish after the tide went out, which she is now cooking.
The scene of men and women working together makes the work easier won praise from some people, but more people were envious and jealous of having a beautiful, successful woman like Yang Xiaoxiao and a virtuous partner. Meanwhile, Li Sheng's wooden house was still not finished. After digging all sorts of grooves in the wood, Li Sheng was collecting flat stones everywhere. He was supposed to build the wooden house in three days, but a day and a half had already passed, and there were still only four pillars standing there.
It was obvious that Li Sheng lost the inexplicable match between Wang Yao and Li Sheng completely according to Wang Yao's rules.
Li Sheng never paid any attention to this. Did you get the protagonist's consent for this competition? His challenge is just to build a wooden house within three days. Isn't there still half the time?
As for Wang Yao's antics, he didn't bother to pay him any attention.
