Chapter 234: Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat
"Now that everyone has finished breakfast, let's officially begin our first warm-up exercise of the day. As you've all seen in the past two days, the Muhuang people place great importance on their physical fitness, so exercise equipment is everywhere. Today, our guests' task is to..."
There are many fitness challenges, and you can earn different amounts of coins for winning each one.
Some projects require multiple people to complete, and everyone can cooperate to achieve them. All subsequent expenses will be covered by the gold coins earned, including living supplies, bedding, etc.
Anya muttered to herself, "We already have bedding, why buy more?"
Berlin smiled faintly, "Yesterday was borrowed by the production team, and today we're just tagging along. The production team has already taken everything back."
"what!"
Everyone was completely shocked. Yesterday, all they had to do was eat, but today they didn't even have a place to sleep.
No wonder I used to have to spend all my gold coins to buy things. This time, all I had to do was eat. I thought the director had a change of heart, but it turns out he did something like this.
"Why!"
Anya was angry. Sleeping on a straw bed in a cave was bad enough, but now even the straw bed was gone?
Berlin: "Don't worry, everyone. The production team didn't charge us for the night we slept, hahaha. All you need to do is settle your breakfast bills and then we can earn the rest of the funding."
"A thoughtful reminder from the director: there's also the cost of renting accommodation."
"..."
Oh, you're so thoughtful!
Everyone was once again shocked by the director's shamelessness. It was one thing to eat breakfast on credit, but now they were even having trouble finding a place to stay for the night.
"Hey, hey, there's a two-person challenge here, shall we go?"
He Manman patted Lin Zhihao on the shoulder, stopping her from continuing forward.
Lin Zhihao moved closer in the direction she pointed, and there were two dark-skinned, muscular men shrugging their shoulders and clenching their fists, showing off their impressive biceps.
Lin Zhihao slowly turned her head. "Are you sure?"
He Manman also noticed the dark-skinned, muscular man, "It seems I'm not so sure."
She looked at her small frame and tried to clench her fists like the strong man, but her biceps were still limp and unresponsive.
"but!"
He Manman looked at Lin Zhihao, her eyes narrowing, "You..."
Lin Zhihao understood immediately and walked towards the burly man.
He Manman happily followed, "Ahhh, I love you to death, thank you, thank you, mwah ...
Lin Zhihao calmly pushed He Manman away to avoid getting her drool on her face.
Shi Xingchen also followed the two to the mission location.
Seeing that someone actually wanted to challenge them, the burly man looked at the boy in front of him, who was 1.8 meters tall but looked rather frail in comparison, and asked, "You want to challenge me?"
Shi Xingchen saw that both burly men were staring at him, and exclaimed, "!!!"
"No."
As he spoke, he took a step back, now standing behind Lin Zhihao.
Lin Zhihao looked at the shadow that appeared in front of her. No, this is the one. It's much bigger than her and it's hiding behind her.
Shi Xingchen felt guilty and touched the tip of his nose when he saw Lin Zhihao's disdainful gaze.
The burly man looked at the tiny figure in front of him and asked, "You?"
"So what!" Lin Zhihao said, hands on her hips and chest puffed out, her expression both cute and fierce.
The burly man laughed. "Alright, come on."
Task: Chop wood; split a log in six strokes or less.
Lin Zhihao looked at the wooden stake, which was almost as thick as her waist, gestured a couple of times, and then spread her arms out in a starfish shape.
The clever 'Xiaohe' and the clever 'Xiaoshi' immediately stepped forward to roll up her sleeves.
The axe used for chopping wood was almost as thick as Lin Zhihao's thigh. The burly man watched as Lin Zhihao rolled up his sleeves, ready to get to work. "Do you know how to chop wood? Should we demonstrate first?"
Lin Zhihao raised her hand, indicating that it was not necessary.
Clever Xiaohe placed the wooden stakes.
"Gather your inner energy in your dantian—strike unexpectedly and catch them off guard, creating brilliance in one fell swoop! Ha!"
Lin Zhihao's first axe strike successfully got the axe stuck in the wooden stake.
"it is good!"
Some people started to cheer, and the onlookers cheered and applauded, creating a lively scene.
Lin Zhihao: "Stop!"
Silence for a second.
She began her second axe strike, "Ha!"
The wooden stake began to crack.
The third axe blow caused the axe to embed itself in the stake.
The fourth axe blow struck the very bottom.
With the fifth axe blow, the wooden stake was almost split in two.
Lin Zhihao clapped his hands and gracefully withdrew from the scene.
"Hey, it hasn't even been split open yet, why are you leaving already?" a tribesman kindly reminded him.
After Lin Zhihao withdrew, He Manman pouted and walked up with an air of indifference.
"Calm down, calm down~ It's a two-player mission. Let me, hahaha, let me lend her a hand, ahahahaha."
He Manman showed off muscles that didn't exist.
With great difficulty, He picked up the axe and chopped with all his might the last bit.
The wooden stake was successfully split.
"it is good!"
The onlookers cheered, and He Manman held her head high, saying, "Wow, I really am pretty good, hahahaha."
The two successfully obtained fifteen gold coins.
After finishing one task, they rushed to the next task location.
The two burly men stared at their backs and said, "Heh, they're still two clowns."
The second task location was a gate guarded by a very beautiful girl dressed in the unique clothing of the Muhuang ethnic group.
The three of them also met Wu Xianxian and Hua Shuyue here.
Wu Xianxian: "Oh, Su Su, Xingchen, Manman, the three of you are together."
"Sister Xianxian".
He Manman leaned closer and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Completing the mission is a bit difficult." Wu Xianxian looked troubled. The mission required raising the girl's heart rate to over 130 before she could have a chance to enter and do the tasks inside.
Lin Zhihao looked at the serious-looking girl and asked, "Is once enough?"
The girl nodded.
Wu Xianxian had already told several jokes, but the girls remained unmoved.
Lin Zhihao: "Stars".
Shi Xingchen: "Hmm?"
Lin Zhihao asked with a serious expression, "Do you care about saving face?"
Shi Xingchen paused, her expression resolute, as if she were about to join the Party, "No!"
Lin Zhihao: "Do you have any pride?"
Shi Xingchen became even more determined, "No!"
Lin Zhihao was secretly delighted, "Great! Let's go!"
Shi Xingchen stepped forward and began to dance wildly, her legs trembling and her hands waving like an octopus. "Sister~ Sister~ You're so beautiful~ Just like a flower~~ Sister, sister~~ You're so pretty~~~"
The girl was speechless; her heart rate dropped instead of rising.
Shi Xingchen looked at Lin Zhihao, puzzled. "?"
Lin Zhihao sighed, wondering how someone could use his handsome face like that.
He grabbed Shi Xingchen's still flailing arm and yelled, "Get out!"
"Oh." Shi Xingchen obediently stepped back.
Although Lin Zhihao was short, he was dressed in men's clothing, and if you didn't know her, you would think he was a boy.
She stopped in front of the girl, swallowed hard, and tsk, "Purple~"
Wu Xianxian: !
Hua Shuyue: ?
Shi Xingchen:
He Manman: What the hell is all that noise?
The girl remained silent, her expression telling a complex story.
Lin Zhihao looked at He Manman with confusion, "?"
He Manman rubbed her forehead, pretending to look at the sky.
"Hey, hey hey hey."
Lin Zhihao excitedly pointed to the girl's heart rate monitor, "It's gone up! It's gone up by 1!"
The others exchanged bewildered glances. Did they like this?
then.
"Purple~"
"Purple tsk~ Purple tsk~~"
"Purple tsk tsk~ Beautiful purple tsk tsk tsk~~"
The girl looked at Lin Zhihao, who was very close to her, with a greasy expression, biting her lower lip, and constantly flirting with her. Although the expressions of the others were not so seductive, they were still unbearable for her to look at.
She took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, removed the equipment from her hands, and suddenly started running in circles.
One lap,
Two laps,
Three laps
push-up,
High knees,
...
The guests were all stunned.
Five minutes later, she returned, wearing the equipment, and her heart rate successfully soared to 130.
"Wow! Purple Tsk~ Thank you, Purple Tsk~~~~~"
Lin Zhihao had a phlegm stuck in his throat for ages, and he was acting coquettishly towards the girl.
The girl closed her eyes, breathed rapidly, suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, pushed open the door, and forced a smile.
As the guests entered, they continued to make heart shapes with their hands towards the girl.
The girl figured out what it meant to be out of sight, out of mind, and simply turned away. As a girl from her tribe, she was only doing a part-time job! Why should she have to endure this? She knew money wasn't easy to earn!
