Chapter 438: Chapter 420: Give Me Your Dagger

"Let’s eat something first," Jiang Zhe said, opening up the package of biscuits.

"Hey, wait..." Before Xiaobao had finished speaking, Jiang Zhe had already torn into the biscuits.

"Wait for what?" she asked while eating.

"Never mind, I was going to say we should save the two packs of biscuits. Since you’ve already opened yours, go ahead and eat," Xiaobao licked her lips and said, "I’m not hungry."

Fatty wolfed down his own pack hungrily.

Beifeng nibbled on his biscuits with measured grace, leaning against a tree trunk, looking elegant.

Xiaobao felt like crying without tears: "With just these two packets of biscuits, how are we supposed to hold on?"

She looked around: "It’s deep in autumn now, there’s not much to find in the jungle to eat, we really need to save what we have."

"Oh," Jiang Zhe tore open the second packet of biscuits.

Wandering in the jungle consumes a lot of physical strength, she had no intention of shortchanging herself.

After finishing his first pack, Beifeng opened a second and shared half with Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe accepted it without hesitation and chewed thoughtfully.

Xiaobao: "..."

What was going on with this instructor? Jiang Zhe had no experience, but did he lack it as well? Having finished all the food now, what would they do later?

Fatty said, "Anyway, it’s not certain we’ll complete the challenge, we can’t just starve to death, right?"

The chief director sipped his tea and said, "At their current rate of travel and food consumption, they indeed won’t last two days."

The assistant director laughed: "This is what inexperienced people are like."

...

Xia Enci was also among those watching the live broadcast and could clearly feel that Jiang Zhe was being targeted!

"People from Beicheng Continent are really overdoing it! Instead of correcting their mistakes, they’re just thinking of striking back?"

Her classmate, watching the broadcast with her, said, "It might not necessarily be retaliation. Look, everyone has the same amount of food and water. The other groups are conserving it while actively looking for food and water sources, unlike Jiang Zhe’s way of eating. She obviously has no experience!"

Xia Enci ignored her and picked up her phone to call Qin Jingchen.

If others couldn’t handle it, someone had to step in.

But to her surprise, the call didn’t go through.

Nobody answered Fen Ye’s phone either.

She was nearly frantic, just leaving Jiang Zhe in the jungle with an empty stomach, how could that lead to anything good?

Wasn’t there anyone who would take charge?

Tiao Chun was assisting the elderly Mrs. Qin with flower arranging when the butler brought in a phone call for her.

After hearing Xia Enci’s words over the phone, Mrs. Qin said, "Is that so?"

Tiao Chun opened the computer and indeed saw the live broadcast of the students’ military training on the screen.

This jungle was clearly real, with no virtual sets involved.

Mrs. Qin frowned: "Isn’t this the Secret Realm Island known for its dangerous terrain and complex environment in Beicheng Continent?"

Tiao Chun was shocked: "They actually arranged military training on Secret Realm Island! That’s a place for professional military exercises. No wonder the young mistress’s sister is so anxious to call."

Mrs. Qin harrumphed and immediately dialed Qin Jingchen’s encrypted satellite phone.

Once the call connected, she blasted away, "Qin Jingchen, what’s this about the military training? How could you put a young girl on Secret Realm Island? Don’t people from Beicheng Continent have brains, and don’t you think to talk it out with them? Can their stomachs be any bigger than that of a chick’s intestines? If they’ve done something wrong, they should face the consequences, not bully the girl."

"It’s me, Grandma Qin," came the reply.

Upon hearing Fen Ye’s voice, Mrs. Qin asked, "Where’s Qin Jingchen?"

"He... he’s engaged in some confidential work right now, and I can’t reach him either. You know how it is..." Fen Ye said cautiously.

Mrs. Qin angrily said, "What are you planning to do about Jiang Zhe’s situation?"

"Grandma Qin, with sister-in-law’s abilities, what do you have to worry about?"

Having heard this from Fen Ye, Mrs. Qin did come to her senses, realizing she was overthinking. She coughed lightly.

She then said sternly, "Have Qin Jingchen contact me afterwards."

She hung up the call.

Tiao Chun, recalling Jiang Zhe’s abilities, comforted her: "Mrs. Qin, Fen Ye is right, we can just wait and see how things unfold."

Mrs. Qin had no choice but to push down her worries for the time being, but her attention was now glued to the screen instead of her flower arranging.

After hanging up the phone, Fen Ye looked awkwardly at Qin Kuo and Zhuo Jinman standing before him.

He had used the speakerphone for the call, and Mrs. Qin’s comments about Beicheng Continent lacking brains and having chick-like intestines were unfortunately overheard by Qin Kuo and Zhuo Jinman.
