A Snake Transmigrated as a Scum A (GL) - Chapter 7
Li Yingxue looked up at the woman in front of her. The evil spirit snake earring that had always been pinned to her earlobe was gone.
Perhaps it was because the director had requested it, but even without these accessories, her face still had a hint of wildness.
Now she was holding a box of matches and asking her, her confusion on her face seemed both real and fake, and Li Yingxue couldn’t quite tell.
Even though matchboxes had long been obsolete and were no longer used in daily life, she would know about them if she had read history books or watched ancient costume dramas.
Chu Xingchun was still waiting for her reply, and Li Yingxue turned her head and refused, “No need, I’ve already chosen my teammate.”
Chu Xingchun was unwilling, “Who?”
Li Yingxue was sandwiched between Chu Xingchun and Fu Man, and the other few ordinary people didn’t know their personalities either. After weighing her options, she chose Fu Man, after all, they had an agreement, and Fu Man was relatively safe for her for now.
“Her.”
Several pairs of eyes immediately fell on Fu Man, and Fu Man didn’t know what was going on before she was pulled by Li Yingxue and formed a team with two other ordinary people.
The live broadcast was almost flooded with negative comments from Chu Xingchun’s fans.
[Li Yingxue, what are you pretending? You deliberately didn’t team up with my brother, just to attract his attention? With your vase-like appearance and zero survival skills, I don’t even know why the director invited you.]
[Vase Li is just playing hard to get, it’s so funny.]
[Chu Xingchun is so kind to ask her because she’s pitiful and no one else wants to team up with her. It’s unbelievable, she’s so ungrateful.]
[When will Li Yingxue go offline, it’s so annoying.]
[Hehe.]
Li Yingxue’s team was all female and received the following supplies: a matchbox, a water bag, a small dagger, and a flashlight.
After being rejected, Chu Xingchun teamed up with others. One was male and two were female, and they received a machete, a first-aid kit, a rope, and a metal basin.
The director, holding the script, began issuing tasks: “Attention, two groups. This activity tests your teamwork and strategy. The director team will randomly assign tasks, and the first group to complete their task will have the opportunity to draw another rookie gift pack.”
The director cleared his throat and said, “Now, we will announce two tasks. The first task is to find food, and the second task is to build a shelter. Each task has a chance to draw a rookie gift pack. Whoever completes it first will get the chance.”
Fu Man was still pondering over the box of matches, while Li Yingxue had already voiced her thoughts: “We don’t have any logging tools like machete, building a shelter is very physically demanding, and it’s not essential. I suggest we go find food first.”
The other two companions quite agree.
Only Fu Man hasn’t expressed her opinion yet, so everyone else turned to look at her.
Fu Man looked up at the sky, which was clear and sunny, then turned her gaze back to Li Yingxue, and after a moment of silence, said, “I also agree with what Li Yingxue said.”
Chu Xingchun team quickly finalized their plan, and as expected, they chose to build a shelter first. Since they had a machete and rope, they secured a spot to draw a rookie gift pack in advance, betting that the gift pack would contain food, achieving two goals at once.
Fu Man followed behind Li Yingxue, while the other two, one named Di You, talked a lot, was quite young, and chirped like a little bird.
A person named Tang Youyi, tall and probably has a habit of working out, she looks very much like an Alpha.
“If we can’t find food, will our team lose?” Di You asked.
Tang Youyi glanced at Li Yingxue in front of her, “Not necessarily, we follow the captain.”
Di You mumbled in complaint, “But we’ve been following her for so long, and we haven’t found anything.”
Fu Man noticed that Li Yingxue must have heard her teammate Di You’s complaints, but she didn’t say anything.
After walking for another ten minutes, we still couldn’t find it.
Di You stopped and said, “Captain, continuing like this isn’t a solution. Let’s split up and search separately. This way, we can increase our chances of success.”
Saying this is equivalent to being reluctant to follow Li Yingxue’s lead.
Tang Youyi saw Li Yingxue’s expression and was just about to persuade Di You, but before she could say anything, Li Yingxue directly agreed.
“Alright, let’s separate.”
Di You looked at Fu Man and Tang Youyi triumphantly, “Then let’s pair up. Tang Youyi and I will be one team, and you and Fu Man can be the other team.”
“Okay.”
After Di You and Tang Youyi took another path, only Li Yingxue and Fu Man were left at the spot.
The haters in the live broadcast are mocking Li Yingxue’s leadership skills, saying they’re completely inadequate, and the team members are unhappy.
Li Yingxue could probably guess what the bullet comments in the live broadcast were saying, her expression indifferent, ignoring them, and looking at Fu Man beside her.
“And you?”
“What do you mean?”
“Aren’t I in the same team as you?”
Li Yingxue suspected whether she really didn’t understand or was just pretending not to understand, so she asked again, “Do you want to continue following me, or do you have other suggestions?”
“I’m not familiar with this place, I don’t even know how to use a box of matches, of course I’m following you. Do I need to say more, Captain?”
Li Yingxue stared at her face for two seconds, then remembered that she hadn’t answered her question yet. “I’ll teach you tonight.”
Her question finally got a response, and Fu Man felt a bit better. She tucked the box of matches into her pocket and continued to follow Li Yingxue.
Not long after they started walking, Li Yingxue suddenly stopped under a coconut tree.
Fu Man followed her gaze and looked over, “What is that?”
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Li Yingxue turn around and look at her with an expression that was hard to describe, but even the live broadcast room was filled with a series of question marks.
[Excuse me??? There are still people who don’t know what a coconut tree is? Don’t know what a coconut is?]
[Is this Fu Man just pretending? Is she trying to get Li Yingxue’s attention?]
[How does she have the face of an Alpha but the brain of an Omega?]
[Stop insulting Omegas, they aren’t as clueless as she thinks]
Li Yingxue: “Coconut.”
As a snake, Fu Man really doesn’t understand, and the Holy Spirit Continent is not by the sea.
“Should we take it down?”
Li Yingxue just assumed that she had been a spoiled rich girl for too long, that she didn’t understand anything from her studies, and that she was too lazy to argue with her. So she made her stand under the coconut tree.
“I’ll stand on your shoulders to reach it.”
She coldly commanded.
Fu Man was about to say it wasn’t necessary to go through so much trouble when she suddenly caught sight of the ever-present cameraman and the live broadcast camera in her peripheral vision. She immediately retracted her intention to use her spiritual power.
Compromisingly standing under the coconut tree.
“Come on.”
Li Yingxue came before her and said, “Kneel.”
Fu Man let out a sound, slightly bent her knees, allowing Li Yingxue to step on her knees, then her palms, and finally her shoulders.
Li Yingxue clung to the coconut tree branches with both hands, cautiously straightening her back; at this height, she could just reach a few coconuts.
The people in the live broadcast were completely stunned.
[No way!!]
[Am I blind??]
[When did Vase Li get this kind of incredible skill?!!]
[Fu Man is so steady]
[Li Yingxue is definitely an Alpha]
[If you’re saying that, then Fu Man must also be an Alpha.]
Over here, Li Yingxue twisted off three coconuts and tossed them aside. The last coconut was a bit difficult to twist off, so Li Yingxue tightened her lips and twisted it off with force.
Unexpectedly, her footing slipped, causing the coconut in Li Yingxue’s hand to fall from the air, and she herself lost her balance and fell straight down.
The audience in front of the live broadcast gasped.
Even the cameraman was stunned when he saw this situation; in that moment, he instinctively moved forward.
At the critical moment, Fu Man below reacted and directly caught the falling Li Yingxue with both hands.
[How to put it… a perfect princess hug [lights a cigarette]]
[It has the vibe of a romance drama 666]
[It scared me to death just now.]
Fu Man’s agility is definitely that of an Alpha, no doubt about it. I need to change my options.
Li Yingxue didn’t expect Fu Man to hug her; she was even prepared to fall and embarrass herself.
Fu Man looked down and asked her, “Is there something wrong?”
Li Yingxue snapped back to reality from her daze, released her grip around Fu Man’s neck, and said, “No.”
Fu Man put her down and looked at the coconuts on the ground: “You picked four.”
Li Yingxue crouched down and asked, “Where’s the dagger?”
Fu Man then realized the coconut was very hard, took out a dagger and handed it to her: “Here.”
Li Yingxue used a dagger to poke a hole in the coconut, put down the dagger, and shook the coconut; the coconut water inside sloshed loudly.
“Give me the water bag.”
So, Fu Man took out the water bag again and unscrewed the cap.
“Are you going to pour the water inside?”
“Mm.”
Fu Man helped her pour in the coconut juice. As the water bag became heavier, the amount of coconut juice inside increased. By the time they poured in all four coconuts, they had obtained more than half a bag of coconut juice.
Li Yingxue recalled that task, held it up in front of the cameraman, and coldly asked, “Does this count as food?”
The director team saw through the screen that Li Yingxue was the first to obtain water, which can also be considered a type of usable food. They announced to everyone through the microphone: “Li Yingxue’s team is the first to obtain water and has earned a chance to draw a rookie gift pack.”
When the Chu Xingchun team heard this news, their faces didn’t look good. There was a pile of small bamboo and branches on the ground, and they had just had a significant disagreement over the site selection. After finally settling on a location, they began to set up, but after so long, they had only managed to put together a framework.
On the other side, when Tang Youyi and Di You’s team heard that their team had secured a water source, Tang Youyi gave a faint smile, “Looks like the captain is quite lucky.”
Di You didn’t really believe that Li Yingxue had found it: “It might not be the captain, but I think it’s more likely that Fu Man found the water source.”
Tang Youyi glanced at her twice but didn’t respond to her words.
Li Yingxue looked at the water bag in her hand, “Do you want a sip?”
Fu Man wanted to try this unusual coconut juice, so she took it, tilted her head back, and took a sip.
It’s quite sweet.
Fu Man remembered that Li Yingxue hadn’t drunk yet, so she handed it back to her: “Do you want to drink a little too?”
Li Yingxue took it and wiped the bottle mouth before drinking.
Fu Man watched her wiping motion, silently retracting her gaze.
[I don’t think Li Yingxue is as terrible as people say online. She even let Fu Man drink the water first.]
[Li Yingxue is quite surprising…]
[I didn’t expect Li Yingxue to be the first one to find water.]
The two people continued searching for food, but not long after, the sky suddenly became overcast, and even the surrounding temperature dropped significantly. The wind in the forest rustled.
Fu Man looked up at the sky and said, “It’s going to rain.”
It might still be heavy rain.
She and Li Yingxue looked at each other, both fully aware that they had no tools to cut down bamboo and branches. Even if they did, it would probably be too late.
“Captain?”
“Fu Man?”
Tang Youyi and Di You came over from the other side and happened to run into them.
Di You saw the water bag that Fu Man was holding and knew that the water source must have been found by her. “Is this the water you found?”
She asked Fu Man.
Seeing that she wanted to drink, Fu Man handed it to her. Di You opened it, took a sip, and found it to be sweet coconut juice. Her eyes curved with delight.
“Really sweet.” Di You kept looking at Fu Man, praising, “You’re really amazing, you managed to get the coconut even though it’s so hard to pick.”
Li Yingxue stood to the side, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over her, then glancing at Fu Man.
Fu Man glanced at her.
“The captain picked the coconut, and she also opened it with a dagger.”
Di You’s face stiffened for a moment, then she slowly turned to look at Li Yingxue, forced a smile, and blandly complimented, “Captain, you’re really lucky.”
On the other hand, Tang Youyi, who was nearby, heard Fu Man’s explanation and showed a bit of admiration for Li Yingxue: “The captain truly lives up to the title.”
When Fu Man heard the compliment, her gaze immediately fell on Tang Youyi’s face. Seeing her staring intently at Li Yinxue’s face, she reminded her, “I picked it together with the captain.”
T/N: She wants to be praised too. This snake is competitive ~
