After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 52: Stop Jiang Kaiyuan from Cheating
Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Stop Jiang Kaiyuan from Cheating
Seeing the small bird in Jiang Lingxi’s palm, its wing injured but still struggling to escape, Kai Yuan couldn’t help but smile broadly, "See, I told you it’s nothing serious, it’s still alive and kick..."
The word ’jump’ hadn’t been spoken yet when Jiang Lingxi suddenly felt the little creature in her palm quiver. Looking down, she saw its head tilt to one side, unmoving.
Soon, not knowing if it was one second or two seconds later, after a couple of dying twitches, it ceased all movement.
At this, not only was Kai Yuan dumbfounded on the spot, but even the audience in the livestream couldn’t help but gasp.
No one was concerned about whether this was cruel or not, just thinking if they hadn’t tested for toxins beforehand, and both of them ate it without knowing...
The consequences would be unimaginable!
Even Li Shuo, holding a strong cup of tea, shot up from his seat and instructed all the following photographers with the guests, "Distribute the edible testing devices in advance."
The testing device is used to detect whether plants are poisonous and edible. He initially planned to distribute them in a few days when the guests delved deeper into the jungle, where more varieties of plants would appear, to prevent them from eating by mistake, the device could provide assistance.
Who would have thought that in less than a day, Kai Yuan’s actions triggered this plan, leading directly to digging up a bunch of poisonous plant roots.
If they still held onto them without distribution, who knew if Kai Yuan, with his notorious dark hands, would dig up more poisonous plants that could cause poisoning with just a touch, and by then any measures would be too late.
Upon receiving the detector and being informed of its purpose, Kai Yuan glared at the camera, "Why didn’t you bring this thing out earlier!"
Li Shuo was almost puffing up and glaring due to that glare.
Wilderness Survival, what the audience wants to see is the guests’ survival abilities in the wilderness; if there’s too much assistance, wouldn’t it lose much of its fun?
Besides, this is still the jungle’s outer edge, and their experts had explored in advance, knowing that all plants and animals there were safe. Who could have predicted you would dig up some poisonous plants from the ground!
Putting out the fire pit, burying the roasted tubers in a deep pit, Jiang Lingxi also dug a pit for the little bird that tested for poison. Seeing this, Kai Yuan found a stubby stick, carved some characters with a knife to serve as a tombstone, and after setting it up, he backed away a few steps and bowed.
Watching his actions, Jiang Lingxi: "..."
The audience in the livestream: "..."
Somehow found this scene amusing, yet couldn’t laugh.
But for the family members of the guest who nearly ate the poison, Mother Kai was greatly relieved.
Looking at Jiang Lingxi again, the prejudice in her eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by some gratitude.
The mischievous boy hasn’t been back to the countryside much, couldn’t even tell apart scallions from garlic at home, yet dared to dig up what he thought was edible and roast it. If it weren’t for Miss Jiang’s questioning and her idea to test for poison, just thinking of her son ingesting those toxins fried her heart.
Thankfully, thankfully!
People are still alright.
Originally, she was planning to contact the program crew on her husband’s side, thinking this Wilderness Survival is too dangerous, they’d better just withdraw from filming.
The phone was out, but then she saw the crew send down a detector, hesitated for a moment before not pressing the dial button.
Forget it, now with the detector and cautious Miss Jiang watching over, she could ease her mind a bit.
Besides, this mischievous boy probably wouldn’t listen to her.
With this almost tragic accident involving Jiang Lingxi and Kai Yuan, other guests also benefited in advance.
The happiest were Yu Hui and Jiang Xiyu’s team.
Jiang Xiyu held the detector in her hand, glanced at the following photographer handing it over, "Was this prepared long ago, why just now distributed?"
If it had been distributed earlier, she wouldn’t have feared eating the wrong plants in the jungle, wouldn’t be faint with hunger now, with an empty stomach.
Now she doesn’t even care if she eats grass or leaves as long as it’s non-poisonous!
Yu Hui frowned and looked at the photographer, sharing Jiang Xiyu’s current thoughts.
This showed that Kai Yuan was too impulsive, whereas the two in front were overly cautious.
But in this unfamiliar jungle, being overly cautious wasn’t bad, just brought the discomfort of hunger.
Under the pressure from the gaze of the two guests, the photographer responsible for delivering the detector eventually confessed, "The program’s rules originally mandated distributing detectors on the third day. However, an incident just occurred with Teacher Jiang and Teacher Kai, so the director allowed us to distribute them ahead of time."
Upon hearing that the incident was on Jiang Lingxi’s side, Jiang Xiyu hurriedly asked, "An incident, what kind of incident?"
"Teacher Kai mistook poisonous plants for non-poisonous ones."
"Did they eat it? Are they okay?"
Mainly, did Jiang Lingxi eat it?
"No, fortunately, Teacher Jiang found a small animal to help test for poison, saving them from danger."
Jiang Xiyu suppressed her disappointment, putting on a relieved expression, "That’s good."
Why didn’t they eat it!
Yu Hui leaned his head, his eyes bright as he looked at his goddess.
Jiang Lingxi being the rival, yet the goddess cared about her so much really proves she’s a kind-hearted beauty!
Even amidst embarrassment, in his eyes, she’s still the most perfect.
"Xiyu, let’s use this detector to see what we can eat around here. We haven’t eaten anything all day, I’m worried you won’t hold up."
Mainly, he’s also barely holding up, but for the sake of face, he wouldn’t say.
"Alright." Jiang Xiyu nodded in agreement, pressing down the impatience in her heart, turning on the detector, and casually plucking a little green berry from a nearby plant, squeezing and applying it to the testing rod.
She already regretted teaming up with Yu Hui.
Indeed, he was caring and carried her without complaint, but in her view, he was still useless.
Otherwise, after so long without finding something edible, he really is a spoiled and pampered rich kid, good for nothing more than stamina.
If it were Teacher Lin Jing or that Xu Zhao, she wouldn’t be with an empty stomach now.
After waiting for a while, the detector’s screen lit up, and Jiang Xiyu quickly refocused her attention, almost stunned by what showed on the screen.
Composing herself for a serious look, she waved Yu Hui over, "You come."
Yu Hui rushed to her side, reading the screen’s content, "Not poisonous, but it’s not human food, might not taste good."
Jiang Xiyu sighed slightly, "As long as it’s not poisonous, at this point, who cares about the taste?"
Then she plucked another berry, wiped it, and put it in her mouth. Intending to bite it, she hesitated and swallowed it whole.
Seeing her not chew but swallow directly, Yu Hui: ""
The goddess is cute even when she stubbornly holds her tongue!
This side finally relied on detectors to eat edible grass, while on the other, Jiang Lingxi was using it to test the few plants Kai Yuan had previously pulled.
Upon seeing the result on the detector, unsure, she directly called over Kai Yuan, who had a psychological shadow over those plants, "What does it say here?"
The trolls in the livestream seized the opportunity to ridicule.
"As expected from a college dropout, can’t even read this!"
"I suggest this big star Jiang goes back to school to catch up on her education, if it weren’t for Kai Yuan, you’d be looking at the detector not knowing how to use it!"
"Compared to this, at least Xiyu is a regular college graduate. How can you be a star these days without a good degree!"
Seeing the post bashing Jiang and praising the other, Lu Zhengzheng couldn’t help but curse, "What do you know, Jiang Xiyu is no better, she’s just faking it! Aah, it makes me so mad!"
