Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Make a feint to the east but attack in the west, take something out of a bag effortlessly
A long half hour had passed, yet their trap hadn’t even attracted a single ant.
"Gurgle—"
This was already the eighth time Jiang Yan’s stomach had growled.
He couldn’t stand it anymore and "swooshed" up from the ground.
"Forget it, this method really isn’t reliable. Shall we go pick some mushrooms? Even if they are poisonous, at least we won’t starve to death!"
He had thought that after his complaint, Shang Shuyue would scold him with a stern face like Sister Li, but to his surprise, Shang Shuyue just drooped her eyelids, nodded, and said, "Okay."
Jiang Yan gave her a suspicious glance and tentatively asked, "Or should we not pick mushrooms and look for a water source nearby to catch some fish instead?"
"That works too."
Jiang Yan: ?
Hold on, since when was she this easygoing?
Just as he was about to continue questioning, Shang Shuyue in front of him suddenly raised her head, her eyes wide as she excitedly said, "Jiang Yan, look quickly, there’s a rabbit!"
Jiang Yan followed the direction she pointed.
A plump white rabbit was sniffing its way towards them, stopping near the trap they had set.
But whether it was their movements or the rabbit sensing something, with a "whoosh," it had disappeared without a trace.
How could Jiang Yan just watch as the rabbit slipped away from his grasp? He immediately sprinted after it with all his might, and Shang Shuyue hurriedly followed close behind.
[This is hilarious, if Jiang Yan had shown half of this determination in his morning exercises, Sister Li would have praised him to the skies by now.]
[I swear, this is the first time I’ve seen Jiang Yan run this fast, he’s nearly catching up with the rabbit!]
[Indeed, the power of food inspires one to push forward.]
But how could two-legged humans possibly outpace a four-legged rabbit? Within minutes, they had completely lost sight of it.
The surroundings were empty, leaves rustled, and birds chirped—everything was there except for any sign of the rabbit.
A frustrated Jiang Yan stood with his hands on his hips, cursing under his breath.
Catching up, Shang Shuyue could only force herself to remain calm and let out a breath.
"Well then, we can now go pick mushrooms without worries."
However, just as she was about to turn away, Jiang Yan suddenly grabbed her arm.
The skin beneath his palm felt instantly burning hot, and she stiffly turned around, trying hard to lower her equally flushed face.
"What’s wrong?"
Jiang Yan pulled her aside and gestured for her to whisper, "Look over there."
Shang Shuyue moved the branches blocking her view and looked in the direction Jiang Yan was pointing, barely making out several figures.
She instinctively became alert.
"Could it be people from another team?"
The game of attack and defense was still ongoing, and although their team had all its members, their captain, Jiang Li, had chosen to play defensively from the start.
Moreover, with only the two of them, they were clearly at a disadvantage.
Shang Shuyue was about to pull Jiang Yan away when he suddenly got excited.
"No, look, what are they doing?"
Shang Shuyue took another look, "Making breakfast? It’s just the right time for breakfast. Let’s slip away while they’re busy."
"Run away? What are we going to eat if we run back now?" Jiang Yan’s narrow, romantic eyes gradually filled with cunning, "If we can’t catch a rabbit, and we can’t make mushrooms, why not find some ready-made food to eat?"
Shang Shuyue was very puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Hehe...."
...
...
"Is this really the breakfast you and Shang Shuyue found?"
"This is indeed the breakfast we went to fetch." Jiang Yan asserted confidently.
Jiang Li continued to stare at him, repeating, "Is this really what you found to eat on this island?"
With one hand on the obviously guilty-faced Shang Shuyue’s shoulder, Jiang Yan confirmed, "I am certain and sure that this is what we found outside... Ah, my dear sister, just hurry up and eat. You’ve been asking this question for minutes now, aren’t you tired? I’m getting hungry."
Jiang Li took a deep breath, picked up an egg from the table, and cracked it into two halves, "Tell me, from where on this island did you find such an egg? Or should I assume it was already cooked the moment you hatched it?"
"This...." Jiang Yan’s eyes drifted, and he scratched his own face.
Jiang Li then picked up the pot of noodles.
"And this bowl of noodles, let’s not talk about the noodles themselves for now, where did you get this bowl from? Did you dig it out from the ground?"
"This...." Jiang Yan switched hands, scratching the other side of his face, "How about we eat first and then continue discussing this matter?"
[Hahahaha I really can’t stop laughing]
[Jiang Yan, from today onwards, you’re my one and only brother.]
[I really didn’t expect Jiang Yan to be so bold as to steal another team’s breakfast, that’s pretty slick.]
[Hahaha Team H is too miserable, they finally exchanged their points for a breakfast, and turned around to find it all stolen.]
[Too bad brother, stealing breakfast is one thing, but claiming it was all found is a bit too much, right?]
[Others are trying extreme survival on the island, but our young master is busy stealing and swiping.]
Shang Shuyue didn’t expect Jiang Yan would go this far.
Even to steal someone else’s breakfast, he pushed her out to distract the others.
Though the method was crude, it indeed worked.
As the five people saw her, a girl running towards them, they immediately forgot the fragrant breakfast in front of them, and started coveting the 100 points on her.
Thanks to Jiang Li’s weighted running training over the past few days, she led those five men around the woods for a good fifteen minutes, tiring them out before returning to find Jiang Yan.
By then, he had already moved all five eggs and a pot of noodles that Team H had just cooked.
On the way back, she considered more than once how to explain to everyone where they got this breakfast from, but Jiang Yan patted his chest, bravely claiming it was all taken care of by him.
And so it ended up like this.
She should have known this guy was unreliable!
"Jiang Li, actually we..." Shang Shuyue started cautiously, but Jiang Yan immediately covered her mouth before she could finish.
"Don’t listen to her nonsense, Shang Shuyue is too tired, hasn’t had breakfast, her blood sugar’s low, and she’s started talking deliriously."
Jiang Li watched the two in front of her expressionlessly.
Although they hadn’t said anything, she had already guessed most of it.
Since there isn’t any order on the island anymore, and there’s no point in tying oneself down with the moral standards of the outside society.
If there’s ready-made food available, why not eat it?
