The live streaming platform’s crew didn’t follow the five teams during their ingredient gathering process, because it involved hunting wild rabbits, which couldn’t be broadcast. So, the people from the live streaming platform were all waiting at the camp for the five teams to return.
"Four teams are back now. The three teams from Dogtail Mountain did well, but the Forest Treasure Hunting Team seems to have had a bad time. It looks like they put all their energy into treasure hunting,"
The female host’s presenting style was witty and humorous, which caused the students to burst into laughter, also easing the awkwardness for Lin Tao’s team.
"Now, only the Dream Girls Team hasn’t returned yet. Given the current situation, the Dogtail Mountain Assault Team is very likely to win this ingredient collection competition."
As the female host commented, a cheer went up among the crowd.
The members of the Dream Girls Team had returned, but Lin Tian was not seen among the crowd.
According to Shen Mengyi’s plan, Lin Tian was hiding in the woods, waiting for a text from Shen Mengyi before he could appear carrying a wild boar.
"Dream Girls Team, where are your collected ingredients?"
"Here are the ingredients we collected."
A group of beautiful women brought out a bag full of fish. Their haul was comparable to the Fishing Team, but it was probably much less than the Assault Team’s.
"President Mengyi, it looks like we’re going to win the championship!"
Li Ming was beaming with a smile. Coming from a well-off family, he had gone hunting in the mountains with his grandfather and father since he was young and had even learned Hunting Technique from an old hunter in the mountains.
For Li Ming, being in the forest felt like being at home.
Actually, Li Ming was quite capable, and his reason for joining the Broadcasting Club was simple: because of Shen Mengyi.
However, Shen Mengyi didn’t seem to have much interest in Li Ming, but that hadn’t discouraged him. In fact, he was the mastermind behind this outdoor activity.
The live streaming platform had been paid off by Li Ming.
In essence, this activity was orchestrated by Li Ming to impress a girl.
The results so far were quite good—Li Ming’s team had bagged so many small animals, and of course, it was all Li Ming’s doing. The only pity was that Shen Mengyi wasn’t in his team.
However, that wasn’t important. What mattered was that Li Ming might beat Shen Mengyi this time. Knowing how competitive Shen Mengyi was, Li Ming figured that defeating her once would surely make a lasting impression on her.
"Oh? You guys did great? Managed to hunt that many small animals?"
"These were all hunted by Li Ming; we just helped collect them,"
Several team members couldn’t help but speak up, naturally with some having been persuaded by Li Ming’s benefits to speak up.
"That’s quite impressive."

Shen Mengyi was expressionless, but inside she was bursting with joy. Hehe, just wait and see how I make you eat your words.
She stealthily sent a text to Lin Tian with just one digit: 1.
Upon receiving the message, Lin Tian started making his way to the camp while carrying a wild boar.
"The Dream Girls Team’s haul isn’t small, but it’s probably still less compared to the Assault Team. It looks like the champions of the first ingredient gathering phase has been determined, and the champions are..."
Just as the female host was about to announce the Assault Team as champions, Shen Mengyi suddenly shouted.
"Shen Mengyi, do you have any objections?"
"Absolutely, the champions should be us, the Dream Girls Team."
"Ahem, although you are the president of the Broadcasting Club, you can’t just mess around, right? The results are clear; the Assault Team obviously collected more ingredients. This is live, and many people are watching."
The female host was somewhat embarrassed, thinking Shen Mengyi was going to resort to drastic measures just to claim the championship.
The other students were also skeptical about Shen Mengyi’s actions.
"I know, but haven’t you noticed that our Dream Girls Team is missing one person?"
Hearing Shen Mengyi’s words, other students then realized that the Dream Girls Team was indeed one member short.
"Shen Mengyi, what do you mean?"
"What I mean is, we still have ingredients in the hands of the last team member. Now, he has returned with the ingredients. Please give him a warm welcome!"
Shen Mengyi pointed in Lin Tian’s direction, and both the female host and the cameraperson turned to look.
The cameraman immediately directed the camera over there.
Under the dim night, Lin Tian was seen stepping out of the forest, carrying a wild boar the size of a young calf, step by step towards the camp.
The dark night sky served as a natural backdrop, with the young man carrying a wild boar emerging from the forest.
The massive size of the wild boar and the faint smile on the young man’s face left a deep impression on those who saw.
"My goodness! Such a huge boar! I need to take a photo!"
Several quick-reacting girls had already started using their phones, while the girls from the Dream Girls Team were busy uploading photos they had already taken. Needless to say, they snapped a few more of the current moment. Indeed, the sight of Lin Tian carrying the wild boar from the forest towards the camp was absolutely breathtaking.
By the time Lin Tian had brought the wild boar into the camp, the entire camp was buzzing.
This huge wild boar should be enough to feed everyone for two days.
"We thought the Assault Team would win the first phase of the championship, but now there’s been a slight surprise. If my eyes do not deceive me, the Dream Girls Team has hunted a large wild boar. Therefore, the winners of the first phase should be the Dream Girls Team! This time, there should be no objections, right!"
"No!"
With such a large wild boar, who could possibly object?
Shen Mengyi was very happy because she had directed this face-slapping play herself.
Li Ming looked at the wild boar and Lin Tian, inexplicably feeling a bit gloomy.
Why did everything go awry whenever Lin Tian showed up?
Li Ming had calculated well that morning on the bus. There would be one or two students who couldn’t fit, and then he could invite Shen Mengyi to sit in his car.
Unexpectedly, Lin Tian brought so many people along, directly causing Li Ming’s plan to fall apart.
Shen Mengyi not only had to drive a few students herself, but she also made Li Ming drive some too.
Now, when Li Ming should have been the center of attention, he found himself overshadowed by Lin Tian and the wild boar once again.
Looking at the few hares and pheasants on his side, then at Lin Tian and that wild boar.
Li Ming was at a loss for words.
The first round of the ingredient gathering competition ended, with the Dream Girls Team in first place scoring five points. The second place went to Dog Tail Mountain Assault Team with four points, and the third place to Dog Tail Mountain Slackers with three points. Fourth place, Dog Tail Mountain Mushroom Team, scored two points. Last was the Forest Treasure Hunt Team, with only one point.
After the announcement of the previous round’s scores, the beautiful hostess began to announce the content of the second segment.
"The second round of the competition involves processing the ingredients. However, these ingredients can only be those collected by the teams in the first segment. We will see who can prepare the tastiest dish from these ingredients, and they will be the winner," she said.
In simple terms, the second segment was essentially a continuation of the first.
Turning the collected ingredients into food was also an important part of survival in the wilderness.
It involved not only the handling of ingredients but also the challenge of cooking in the wild.
Upon the hostess finishing, each team immediately got busy.
The Forest Treasure Hunt Team had it relatively easy, preparing just a few fish and mushrooms. Without much thought, they decided on making fish soup.
They all brought cooking gear, but there was still one problem to solve.
There was no stove.
The Dream Girls Team also faced this problem.
"Who knows how to build a stove? We can’t cook anything without a stove!" someone exclaimed.
Shen Mengyi also felt overwhelmed, as she hadn’t considered this issue before coming.
"Sis, look at Li Ming, my goodness, he’s so professional. He managed to build a stove so quickly. And it seems their team brought back quite a lot of firewood when they returned. They were well prepared," Shen Yiran pointed out.
Guided by Shen Yiran’s remark, Shen Mengyi noticed the situation with the Dog Tail Mountain Assault Team.
Under Li Ming’s leadership, they quickly constructed a stove.
Once the stove was ready, Li Ming took a few people to handle the hare and pheasant, leaving two to start the fire and boil the water.
Everything was orderly.
This Li Ming had hidden his skills well before.
"Lin Tian, what do we do now?"
Shen Mengyi had run out of ideas, but she had a backup. She went straight to Lin Tian to see what he had in mind.
"Everyone go gather firewood; we’re going to roast wild boar tonight," Lin Tian said.
"Roasting wild boar! That’s a great idea. Even if we made a stove, with the poor conditions here, it’s hard to control the heat and really bring out a delicious dish. But roasting should make it quite tasty," she reflected.
Shen Mengyi immediately organized the others to gather firewood. Bu Mengting didn’t go this time; instead, she stayed with Lin Tian to clean the wild boar and assist him.
They naturally brought knives.
The wild boar’s skin was very thick, and ordinary people might not be able to cut through it with a knife. But Lin Tian was not an ordinary person; he easily skinned the boar.
Lin Tian calculated a bit and decided to roast a quarter of it for today, which should be enough.
Even if other teams wanted to try it, there should be enough.
He cut off one hind leg and some of the boar’s butt flesh.
By the time he was nearly done, Shen Mengyi and her group had returned.
Each of the six people carried a small bundle of firewood.
Lin Tian made a rack and then used two sturdy sticks to string up the freshly cut leg and butt meat, placing it over the fire to roast.
"Come on, let me do the roasting," said Guo Rong, stepping forward.
Lin Tian wasn’t very adept at barbecuing himself, and thinking of Guo Rong’s fondness for food, he was likely not unfamiliar with barbecuing, so he handed the task over to Guo Rong completely.
Guo Rong was well-prepared, pulling out a bag with seven or eight different seasoning packets inside it.
As he roasted, he sprinkled these seasonings on the wild boar meat.
Before long, a savory aroma wafted through the air, causing many people to audibly swallow their saliva.
"Not bad, Guo Rong! You foodie, you’ve got some skills after all."
