Chapter 465: Chapter 465 I Want Black Truffles

Zheng Xun urgently mobilized the program’s plant expert.

Twenty minutes later, the plant expert descended on a helicopter near Jiang Li and the others.

Following Jiang Li’s cue, Jiang Yan respectfully handed over the Lingzhi.

The plant expert, peering through his presbyopic eyes, looked for merely a dozen seconds before waving at the drone.

"Director Zheng Xun, this is indeed Lingzhi."

Zheng Xun: !!!

They really stumbled upon it!

Taking a deep breath, Zheng Xun grabbed the microphone and said, "Alright, first bring the Lingzhi back. As for the points..."

He cleared his throat and said, "Let’s give you 200 points."

Jiang Li had anticipated this move from Zheng Xun and snorted coldly, "As expected of Director Zheng, this is wild Black Ganoderma. A small one like this can sell for a couple of thousand on the market, but Director Zheng isn’t even willing to give us a thousand in virtual currency."

[Yeah, this is too much, the crew is freeloading a Black Ganoderma.]

[King Zheng lives up to his name, not only claiming lives but also claiming money.]

The moment he saw the live comments, Zheng Xun’s face turned sour.

Although the internet’s opinion of him was mixed, watching his own negative reviews scroll by during a live broadcast was unpleasant.

"Fine, let’s say 300 points," Zheng Xun retreated a step.

"1000," Jiang Li said, without even blinking.

Zheng Xun: ???

Ridiculous?!

1000?!

Had Jiang Li lost his mind or had he?

"No, 400, that’s already the limit."

"1200."

Zheng Xun: ???

Why is the price still going up?

"Ha, Jiang Li, let me tell you, I can only go as high as 500," Zheng Xun decided to cut his losses, "Any more and I don’t want it, you keep the Lingzhi."

Last season when he was short on sponsorships, he would take any good items the guests found.

But this season was different; this season he had Younger President Jin’s support and more funds than he could spend.

A single Lingzhi meant nothing.

However, to his surprise, Jiang Li swiftly agreed this time.

"Okay, 500 points, deal."

Zheng Xun: ???

Damn!

He had been trapped!

[Hahaha this part is too good, Sister Li negotiating hard.]

[Can’t see King Zheng’s face, but the silent silence tells us just how bad his complexion is.]

The plant expert did not want to get involved in the dispute and silently pocketed the Lingzhi before getting on the helicopter and leaving.

Jiang Li didn’t give Zheng Xun a chance to regret it, simply saying "Remember to deposit the points in the account, huh," before hanging up the call.

Ten minutes later, a notification flashed across everyone’s watch interface.

[Notice, Guest: [Jiang Li] has exchanged [Lingzhi] for 500 points!]

That exclamation point was Director Zheng’s last bit of dignity and stubbornness.

The other guests were dumbfounded when they saw the notification.

Jiang Li had exchanged a Lingzhi for 500 points just like that.

What was the point of their hard work in eliminating others?!

Almost everyone became indignant and then began searching for Lingzhi frenetically.

Bai Lu, seeing the 500 points credited to her account, was thrilled.

She had toiled all day on the island, not earning a single point, and had almost been hurt by a bad person.

Yet by following Jiang Li for just half a day, she witnessed the acquisition of 500 points.

Her idol really was her lucky goddess!

"Since that’s the case, why don’t we go to that place and look some more? Maybe we can find some Lingzhi, and then we could earn even more points."

"It’s no use," Jiang Li gently shook her head, "This wild Lingzhi isn’t easy to find. Not only does it require a very specific environment, but it also grows very slowly. That small one had been growing for a hundred years; it’s not easy to find others."

"Indeed," Yu Li pushed up his glasses, "Lingzhi is a spiritual organism. The conditions on Dragon Ridge Island aren’t really suited to its growth. Jiang Yan is very lucky to have found that one."

Hearing this, Jiang Yan couldn’t help raising his chin triumphantly.

"How about that, you all should properly thank Young Master me."

[Here we go, here we go; the proud young master is back.]

[I didn’t know this wild Lingzhi was so rare, but team M next door has started looking for it.]

[It’s not just Team M, other live streams have started hunting for Lingzhi too, not sure if they’re smart or foolish.]

"Hmm, indeed you deserve a reward," Jiang Li said, "When we lure out the wild boar later, you’ll be the first one I let into the cave."

Jiang Yan: "..."

"Let’s forget that. Such a great opportunity should be left to you, Captain."

"Alright, it’s getting late, and the sun is about to set. Now is when wild boars are most active. Let’s move quickly," Jiang Li said.

Shang Shuyue still had a stern face, "What’s the plan? You’ve got your points, so how are we going to lure out the wild boar?"

"We’ll need some props for that."

With that, Jiang Li dialed Zheng Xun’s number again.

"Hello, Director Zheng, I need to exchange for some items."

Zheng Xun: "..."

He had just rested for ten minutes!

The sandwich prepared in the kitchen had just been served to him, and he hadn’t even bitten into it when he heard the call from this ancestor.

"Speak, what do you want to exchange?" Zheng Xun had already resigned himself to fate.

Anyway, it was nearly impossible to get anything out of Jiang Li, so he might as well resolve things quickly and save some time.

"Do you have Black Truffle?"

"What?!"

Even though Zheng Xun was mentally prepared, he still couldn’t help doubting his hearing when Jiang Li mentioned what she wanted to exchange.

Perhaps he really needed to get his ears checked at the hospital.

Was it the edible Black Truffle that Jiang Li wanted?

"Yes, it’s the edible Black Truffle," Jiang Li repeated, as if she could hear his inner thoughts.

"What do you need Black Truffle for?"

The usually steadfast Director Zheng broke his own resolve and inquired about Jiang Li’s reason for the exchange.

"The program’s rules didn’t require the guests to reveal the purpose of their exchanged items, did they?"

The eloquent Jiang Li managed to shut Zheng Xun up with a single sentence.

He had no choice but to ask the chef to give away the last bit of Black Truffle they had in the kitchen, which he had planned to eat over the next few days, to Jiang Li.

Likewise, he also deducted 300 points from Jiang Li straight away.

As a result, a notification quickly popped up on everyone’s watches—

[Notice, Guest: [Jiang Li] used [300 points] to exchange for [Black Truffle]!]

Other guests: ???

What’s the situation with this sister?

She just got the points and hasn’t even warmed them up, and now she’s spent most of them?

On Black Truffle???

Expensive and not filling, what does she need that for??!

Everyone thought Jiang Li had gone crazy.

Even Su Yinwan was stunned when she saw the notification for a moment, and then she pretended to be worried:

"Did Jiang Li make a mistake? Why would she exchange for Black Truffle? Although she does indeed like to eat it, there’s no need for that on this island."
