"But before, it seemed like no one said she had poor strength. This time she got a chance to show it; Tingyi is really a well-rounded child, isn’t she?"
"Sounds like it makes a lot of sense."
Qi Feng was also watching the livestream. He sighed, feeling an increasing sense of unease.
Ruan Tingyi didn’t care what the audience thought; she crouched down to study the giant grass.
"There are letters on the grass. Giant Golden Healing Grass," Tianmiao read.
"There are healing herbs in the game too. Then..." Ruan Tingyi had a sudden thought, stepped forward to try pulling the grass, and then discovered a seam behind it. She opened it up, finding a box of band-aids and a bottle of Yunnan Baiyao spray inside.
"Hahaha, so that’s how it is." Ruan Tingyi stuffed these items into her backpack and, even more enthusiastic, began rummaging around for more stuff.
Quite a few viewers were itching to join in.
"Looks fun! I want to play too."
"This kind of treasure hunting style is so interesting."
"What else could be in Newbie Village? Besides food and medicine, are there any weapons? Like an Iron Sword? To replace the wooden sword in hand?"
"Replacing it won’t be that easy, right? In the beginning, it’s probably all food and medicine. I’m rather looking forward to seeing if there’s any armor, maybe some cool-looking armor or something?"
"Will there be small monsters outside? Any herb collecting?"
"Want to play! Want to play!"
Ruan Tingyi was having an absolute blast. As Tianmiao said, her luck was genuinely great, finding all useful items without stumbling upon anything bad.
However, the occasional scream from outside indicated that others were not so lucky.
Fang Fei let out a scream, running away in terror, with Tang Ze also running. Fortunately, he retained his gentlemanly demeanor, pulling Fang Fei along as they fled. Behind them was a giant spider chasing them.
Chased into a corner, the giant spider surged forward. Fang Fei let out a scream that echoed across the sky. At this point, Tang Ze finally noticed something peculiar.
"Wait, Fang Fei, this isn’t a spider; it’s a teddy in a spider costume!" Tang Ze, who was also shaken, managed to see the true form of the giant spider and couldn’t help but speak both angrily and amusedly.
The program team really is wicked, scared the wits out of us! Tang Ze patted his chest, then crouched down to pet the teddy’s head.
"Scared me to death." Fang Fei finally saw that it was an adorable teddy dog, wildly wagging its tail to ask for pets.
The audience had already burst into laughter. The flood of "hahaha" comments on the screen drowned out the picture once again.
Everyone seemed to realize that the program team had indeed put a lot of thought into this time.
Ruan Tingyi cheerfully carried a bag of her spoils, while Tianmiao carried a small bag with water and chocolate. Then the two were the first to leave the village, following a main path behind the village toward the island’s rear.
Gao Yuxin and Kong Shubai followed closely behind. Kong Shubai also carried a bag; evidently, his luck was not bad either, as he had found some supplies. Gao Yuxin, empty-handed, walked beside him, smiling bashfully, "Brother Kong, thank you. You’re carrying all the stuff; is it heavy? Should I help carry some?"
"No need, it’s not heavy. Let’s catch up." Kong Shubai gallantly carried everything, "Girls have less strength, so I’ll manage."
Gao Yuxin thanked him again, then looked ahead at Ruan Tingyi’s back, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes.
She felt puzzled all along. Before being reborn, there had never been a mythical superstar like Tianmiao, nor was there this program. Where did it all go wrong?
