Chapter 208: The Female Devotee in the Farming Show (16)

"Tang Qing, what's today's task?"

Seeing everyone gathered together again, Ye Yunyun quickly realized there was a new task.

After that day's apology, Ye Yunyun seemed to have found the most suitable way to get along with Tang Qing—following orders!

Unconsciously becoming Tang Qing's big fan, she now immediately followed whatever Tang Qing arranged and believed whatever Tang Qing said was right!

With eager eyes fixed on Tang Qing, Ye Yunyun had stopped complaining about tasks and even felt a little excited about what was next.

"Picking mushrooms."

Under Ye Yunyun's intense gaze, Tang Qing spoke up, "Here's the info."

"Take a look."

The stack of info handed to the guests featured various types of mushrooms, each brightly colored and looking really cute!

"Who knew there were so many kinds of mushrooms on the mountain?" Holding up the photos, Fu Hui remarked, "They are so colorful!"

"Are we supposed to pick these mushrooms?"

Tang Qing: "No."

"These are all poisonous mushrooms." In a slow, deliberate tone, Tang Qing continued, "The deadly kind."

Pei Chen gasped!

Those vibrant mushrooms in the materials suddenly lost their charm!

"Then… why not just show us the pictures of the mushrooms we should pick?"

Feng Xingzhou had a bad feeling. First impressions matter—Tang Qing had just shown everyone photos of poisonous mushrooms, which would surely stick in their minds.

When picking mushrooms later, they might accidentally gather those poisonous ones lingering in their minds…

"It’s for the challenge."

With those words, Tang Qing dropped a surprise.

"For every right mushroom, you get 1 point, while poisonous ones deduct 5 points. Highest score wins."

Wait, this is a contest?

Ye Yunyun’s eyes lit up as she eagerly asked, "What do we get for first place?"

"Yeah, yeah! What’s the prize for winning?" Catching on, Fu Hui also pressed, "Spill it!"

"Three days off."

"The winner gets a three-day break with no tasks."

Fu Hui got it, "Oh, I see…"

If it had been her at the start of the show, hearing about a break, she’d have been thrilled.

But lately...

Completing tasks isn’t as exhausting as it was at the beginning...

"Can we change the reward?" Hesitantly, Fu Hui was the first one to consider giving up the holiday.

"What would you want instead?"

"Uh... If it were me, I might want to order a few dishes..." These past few days, after tasting Tang Qing's cooking, Fu Hui was totally hooked. She didn’t mind the dirt or exhaustion—but!

She couldn’t skip meals!

After just a few bites of Tang Qing’s food, Fu Hui’s grumbling vanished!

"How about you guys?" After hearing Fu Hui’s opinion, Tang Qing turned her gaze to the others.

Just as Pei Chen was about to agree with Fu Hui’s idea, Nan Gongjing jumped in first, "Let’s talk about it after we win first place."

Nan Gongjing said cryptically, "I think... each of us might want a different reward..."

Pei Chen: "Who?"

"Who’d turn down good food?"

Nan Gongjing smiled without answering.

The competition officially began. Under Tang Qing’s arrangements, each guest was given a sun hat and a basket for collecting mushrooms. Tang Qing reminded them, "Lots of brush up there—watch your step."

"Huh, this basket seems to have a weird smell..." Ye Yunyun took the basket handed to her by Tang Qing and sniffed. She wasn’t mistaken.

There really was a scent—woody but kinda sharp.

"Scared of snakes, right? It’s sprayed with snake repellent." Tang Qing answered coolly, no warmth in her voice.

But to Ye Yunyun’s ears, Tang Qing was truly an absolute angel!

She’s so thoughtful!

Convincing herself, touched, Ye Yunyun suddenly blurted out to Tang Qing: "Don’t worry! I’m definitely going to win first place!"

She had already decided on her reward—she wanted to spend the night with Tang Qing!

Then she could cuddle up to her crush. Ye Yunyun was so excited she even blushed a little, her lips curving into a smile, clearly daydreaming hard...

Pei Chen: "Yo, Ye Yunyun—that grin’s creepy."

"What’s that weird fantasy?"

Snapped out of her daydream, Ye Yunyun rolled her eyes. "Buzz off!"

"Dream on! First place is definitely mine!" By then, not only would she get to enjoy good food—Zhuangzhuang would get a share too!

Pumped up now, the two of them stood up at the same time and headed up the mountain first!

Watching this, the live chat erupted with laughter again:

"What’s up with these two? Like grade-schoolers, hahaha, so full of fighting spirit..."

"What reward does Ye Yunyun want? That smile just now... so thirsty..."

"I'm more curious about what Pei Chen was in such a hurry to do last night holding that turtle... When he came back, Zhuangzhuang wasn't with him either."

Turns out, the livestream viewers had all witnessed Pei Chen rushing out of his room yesterday, heading straight to Tang Qing's courtyard before the camera automatically cut off.

According to Tang Qing's request, private residences were off-limits for filming.

Naturally, the viewers had no idea what actually happened between Pei Chen and Tang Qing last night...

"These people definitely all have their own agendas!" The viewers made another observation, "This seems like the first time Nan Gongjing is putting in so much effort..."

"He wasn't even this enthusiastic during the fishing challenge."

The viewers weren't mistaken—Nan Gongjing indeed had his own private motives.

Because of Tang Qing.

Ever since his dinner invitation was rejected last time, the refined gentleman hadn't gotten over it.

It was the first time a woman had turned him down... The feeling was strangely exhilarating.

With this strange determination, he was determined to have that dinner with her no matter what!

After the guests headed up the mountain, their already confused minds became utterly muddled when faced with similar-looking mushrooms:

"Is this a poisonous one?"

Holding up a mushroom, both Ye Yunyun and Yi Yan were stumped.

Having just studied countless images of poisonous mushrooms, their minds were now a complete jumble—every mushroom seemed familiar, yet every mushroom also seemed deadly.

"Yi Yan... did we see this one in the photos earlier?"

"I don't know, maybe?"

This same exchange had repeated countless times since they began foraging.

With the rule deducting 5 points for poisonous mushrooms, Ye Yunyun and Yi Yan were picking very cautiously. An hour later, their baskets remained still nearly empty.

The viewers in the chat grew frantic, virtually shouting through screens:

"Edible! That one's safe!"

"I'm from Yunnan—I promise it's safe! Trust me!"

"Now I see the producers' devious plan—showing them poisonous mushroom photos first has them suspecting every fungus now."

"Looks like Ye Yunyun's chance at first place is gone."
