Chapter 9: The Best Actor Raised a Treacherous Fox

The production team coughed self-consciously. "That was also a gift. Alright, alright, let's not discuss that anymore. In short, you must go to the riverside and the fields yourself to hunt for your own lunch and dinner."

"In other words, we have to catch fish in the river and hunt pheasants in the fields ourselves?" Song Heqing asked the director.

The director nodded. "Exactly. And by the way, this is also a competition. Whoever catches the least amount of food will not be allowed to eat."

"While you are hunting, we will also open a real-time popularity poll. If those who rank last in the hunt happen to be in the top two of the popularity poll, they can cancel their penalty."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Su Tang in unison. Su Tang, however, showed no reaction; it wasn't like she would be the one going hungry anyway.

Wen Tian patted Su Tang consolingly. "It's okay, Su Tang. I'll share my portion with you later."

Little Magic Fairy: [Ahhh, Tiantian, don't share your food with her!]

Balala: [The rules should have been set like this a long time ago. The production team did a great job!!]

Scheming Master: [Hahaha, either Su Tang works or she starves. It’s so satisfying to see, haha.]

The director clapped his hands. "The task begins. You have three hours. Everyone, go."

The group went to the storage area to pick up their tools. Su Tang only took a pair of gloves and a wicker basket.

Wen Tian came over, putting on the air of a thoughtful big sister. "Su Tang, aren't you going to take a fishing spear or a net?"

Su Tang blinked and shook her head with an innocent expression. "I don't need them."

The others glanced at Su Tang but didn't say much.

Little Magic Fairy: [Heh, it looks like she’s going to slack off again. The thought of our Tiantian having to give half her lunch to her makes me so mad!!]

Balala: [I really don't know how she has the nerve. She always has such a thick skin.]

Hulala: [I wonder how many fish and pheasants the program team released? What if it's not enough? I'm so worried about Shen Lü.]

Salted Egg Superman: [It’ll be quite a spectacle if they only released a few.]

The group headed toward the back mountain, which had been rented out by the program team and stocked with game. Everyone chose to go fishing first, as none of them wanted to be seen chasing pheasants in an ungraceful manner.

Wen Tian stood by the river, looking at Su Tang with concern. "Su Tang, are you going to go hunt pheasants all by yourself? Be careful."

"Don't worry, Sister Tiantian. I'll treat you to something delicious today at lunch," Su Tang said cheerfully, without a hint of worry on her face.

Wen Tian gave a secret, mocking smirk. "Then take care and stay safe."

Su Tang nodded and turned to head toward the fields alone to catch the pheasants.

"Wait, I'm coming too." Shen Lü appeared behind her, though she hadn't noticed when he arrived.

Su Tang raised an eyebrow, looking at Shen Lü with some surprise. "Aren't you going to fish with the others?" She had assumed that a celebrity of his stature would be very concerned about his public image.

Shen Lü put on his gloves as he walked. "There are too many people there; there won't be much to catch."

Su Tang nodded. "You're right." Shen Lü certainly saw things clearly.

The two arrived at the fields, which were actually overgrown with weeds ranging from a dozen to several dozen centimeters high. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see the pheasants roaming around at all.

Shen Lü clearly hadn't expected it to be so difficult and stood to the side, scanning the area carefully.

While he was still observing, Su Tang had already found a few suitable stones. She weighed them in her hand, waited for the right moment, and threw one with great force.

Suddenly, a pheasant let out a shrill cry, thrashed violently in the grass for a few moments, and then went still.
