Chapter 481: Chapter 481: She Actively Pursued the Boss

Bai Lu ultimately couldn’t exchange for 500 points.

After all, a box of fresh chestnuts really couldn’t be exchanged for many points, especially when she was dealing with the stingy Zheng Xun.

But in the end, she still managed to get 150 points according to Jiang Li’s method, then swiftly handed over the box of chestnuts to the staff who came to pick it up.

Zheng Xun, who had just finished a phone call, looked very displeased.

How had he agreed to 50 points for a box of chestnuts and ended up letting them go for 150? freёwebnovel.com

Never mind, 150 it was. He could just send the chestnuts to the kitchen, let them make some honey chestnuts, and consider it a reward for everyone.

That would also save him some money.

Soon, the staff delivered the chestnuts, and Zheng Xun took a look. The quality wasn’t bad, each chestnut was plump and round.

These 150 points weren’t too much of a loss.

But then he noticed something off, so he bent down, reached into the bottom of the box, and scooped up a few blackened and rotten chestnuts that rolled out.

Zheng Xun’s face changed, and he immediately dumped out the entire box.

Upon further examination, he was dumbfounded.

Half of the box was full of bad chestnuts!

"Damn it!" Zheng Xun’s swearing echoed instantly throughout the cruise ship.

So, the procedure for exchanging points then shifted to this—

The members of Team C stared displeasedly at the staff in front of them, "These fruits were just picked yesterday by us. How much longer are you going to inspect them?"

The staff replied with a serious face, "This is Director Zheng’s directive. Every item to be exchanged must be thoroughly inspected three times."

The man took a deep breath, "Fine, inspect the wild fruits three times if you must, but isn’t it a bit too much to slice open the fish we caught and check their stomachs right here?"

Staff member: "Um... that’s also a directive from Director Zheng."

Meanwhile, another staff member successfully discovered a pile of weeds among the wild vegetables submitted by Team J.

Zheng Xun coldly laughed through the walkie-talkie, "Hmph, intentional deception, deduct 100 points!!!"

Team J: "Crap! It was never discovered before, why such bad luck this time?!"

...

After trading half a box of bad chestnuts for 150 points, Bai Lu turned around only to receive praise from Jiang Li.

Bai Lu immediately felt self-satisfied, but soon she became annoyed.

She actually failed to record the idol’s recent compliments!

What a pity!

Next time, she’d be sure to have the recording function on her watch turned on.

Jiang Li pulled out 100 points to exchange for some tools, and then transferred the remaining points to Bai Lu’s account.

Looking at the small nails and tubes delivered by the production team, Bai Lu was puzzled.

"Lili, what do you need these items for?"

Jiang Li took out one of the tubes and gestured in the air.

"There’s a small pond nearby, and I want to use it to make a shower setup. It’s getting increasingly stifling on the island, everyone is very actively moving around every day, and it’s easy to breed bacteria and get sick if we don’t wash properly."

Bai Lu looked at him with adoration, "Oh my god Lili, you can even make a water heater?!"

"I certainly can’t make a water heater," Jiang Li said, "But we can utilize the island’s sunlight to heat the water, which is conceptually similar. As for the shower, I can make a small pressure device. It’ll only produce a little water, but it’s enough for washing."

And all this, she had learned from another person.

Some of old fans in the live broadcast immediately understood the underlying meaning in Jiang Li’s words and exclaimed excitedly.

"I knew it! Lili must have learned it from Daniu, right? Daniu made a simple shower just for Lili before!"

"Wuwuwu, what an immortal romance; indeed, my shipped couple has never been betrayed."

"I miss Daniu, but there hasn’t been any news about him on the internet for a long time."

"However, Daniu is just an ordinary person; let’s not disturb his life with Uncle Zhao."

...

...

In South Africa, a country near the Atlantic, where political turmoil is persistent, with the reactionary army and the government army erupting in fierce battles year-round.

The war that had quieted down for nearly two years had recently flared up again.

Cannon fire blanketed this small country, smoke billowed, bodies were wrapped in horsehide, and bones littered the fields, a landscape of devastation.

Beneath that rubble, a newly built signal station’s lighthouse occasionally flickered dim green lights, like a struggling hope in the desolation.

Under that lighthouse, Zhou Xu, sporting a messy hairdo, typed on a mechanical keyboard gloomily in front of him, followed by pressing the run key.

"Alright, success!"

As his words fell, the screen flickered and then displayed an image.

The people behind him cheered instantly.

"So the big sister you talked about actually exists?"

Zhou Xu: "That’s right."

"Man, she’s really pretty. Where did big brother find her?"

Zhou Xu: "That’s right, it was that charlatan who actively pursued our big boss."

Buoyed by his own triumph, Zhou Xu suddenly opened up, embellishing the tales of Jiang Li’s and Zhao Lang’s experiences in Chixia Village.

He talked about how Jiang Li had nowhere to turn before being taken in by their boss and how she ended up facing dangers that their boss saved her from.

Then he spoke about this survival reality show.

"....See that? This island belongs to our big boss’s home, this charlatan striving to be on this show has a clear motive, doesn’t it?"

The crowd nodded with meaningful looks.

Seeing their reactions, Zhou Xu was finally satisfied and turned his gaze back to the large screen.

More than a week had passed since he last watched this live broadcast.

In the past week, he had been busy with the boss dealing with the war, with no time for recreational activities.

Finally, with their help, the government forces crushed the reactionary army, creating a temporarily stable situation, allowing him to catch his breath and restart watching the live broadcast.

When he last watched, Jiang Li was all alone, but now, she not only had her own team but also lived in a low-end small villa filled with everything, even building a small shower and stove outside.

Compared to others’ jungle survival, she seemed to be on vacation!

"Tsk tsk, see, it must be because of our boss that the production team is treating this charlatan so well." As Zhou Xu started to let loose again, a cold chuckle came from nearby, "Since that’s the case, General Dino’s side needs people. Why don’t you report there? Seeing it in my light, he’ll surely treat you well."

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhou Xu instinctively felt a chill from his heels to his neck and sprang up from his chair.

"Boss...."
