After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 58: A Burden Turns into a BUG

Looking at the fish that surfaced to breathe after a rain, Jiang Lingxi ignored Jiang Kaiyuan’s exclamation and hefted the arrow in her hand, attempting to strike the nearest fish.

If she were in her original body, she could guarantee a hundred percent accuracy, but now in this body without muscle memory, she didn’t dare promise she’d hit these nimble little creatures in the water.

It’s different from being on land; sometimes your eyes can deceive you.

The arrow swiftly plunged into the water; after the arrowhead tapped the surface, it was momentarily obstructed. The fish beneath, about to come up for air, sensed the unusual disturbance nearby and quickly flicked its tail, darting into the depths.

Kai Yuan: "Just missed it!"

Jiang Lingxi retrieved the missed arrow via the fishing line, calmly continuing to search for her next target.

You can’t rush these things; the more anxious you are, the more you’ll miss.

Wei Ke was watching attentively with a phone in the yard, and Xu Xingyuan, who had sneaked out of the study to join in watching, couldn’t help but ask, "Wei Ke, do you think that pretty sister can hit the fish with them being so agile?"

Wei Ke ruffled his hair, "Why so many questions? Just keep watching."

The live stream chat had quieted significantly; everyone wanted to see if Jiang Lingxi could catch a fish. freewёbnoνel.com

After missing the second and third tries as well, some people couldn’t resist making snide comments.

"I told you this person can’t be good at everything, just a bit skilled at archery, and they really think they can do it all!"

"Might as well tie a worm to the fishing line and see if it catches anything."

"Just wants to show off, feeling too good about themselves."

Xu Xingyuan frowned as he watched, "Wei Ke, these people’s comments are so annoying!"

"If you find it annoying, then don’t watch it. Have you finished practicing your writing?"

Xu Xingyuan stuck out his tongue, contemplating sneaking back to the study to practice writing but also wanting to see if the pretty sister could eventually hit the fish.

Fortunately, Jiang Lingxi soon gave him an answer.

She missed three times in a row, but it wasn’t completely fruitless.

At least she summarized the experience from the three failures, ensuring she wouldn’t make similar mistakes next.

When she was preparing for the fourth attempt, the chat went silent, and everyone onsite and in the streaming audience focused on that single arrow.

The arrow hit the water, creating only a faint sound. The fish on the surface were leisurely munching on water plants, and only tried to swim away when they sensed danger, but it was a step too slow.

The arrow pierced through near the dorsal fin, and the previously lively fish instantly lost all ability to move.

"It hit!"

As Jiang Kaiyuan shouted in surprise, Jiang Lingxi pulled the arrow along with the fish out of the water, weighed it in her hand, and a smile finally spread across her lips, "Just under three pounds, not bad."

Jiang Kaiyuan, abandoning his fishing endeavors, hastily set his makeshift rod with a stone and ran over to admire the near three-pound catch, giving Jiang Lingxi a thumbs up, "Xixi, you’re the best!"

So impressive!

Initially, when the first three didn’t hit, he thought this method was likely unreliable, thinking of asking Jiang Lingxi to give up, but then the fourth attempt succeeded.

Luckily, he hadn’t said anything aloud!

"But this fish, it died just like that?"

Jiang Lingxi raised an eyebrow, "What else?"

Wasn’t that a bit of a silly question?

"No, it’s just that when my mom cooks fish, even when it’s in the pot it can still jump out, but you just poked it once, and it’s dead already."

Jiang’s mother, watching her son reveal her embarrassing stories on the live stream: "..."

Seems like a good smack is needed every three days, getting a bit cheeky!

"It has to do with where it was struck." Jiang Lingxi pulled the arrowhead from the fish, showing the hole left behind, "As long as you hit here, the fish can’t move."

Shen Aiqing taught her this trick, and after success every time, she only aimed for this spot ever since when catching fish to eat.

After all, if the fish is still alive when you bring it ashore, flapping around soaking everything with water and fishy odor, it’s hardly as neat and quick.

Jiang Kaiyuan, finally understanding the principle: "..."

The viewers in the live stream: "..."

They were all at a loss for words at that moment.

It was enough just to hit a fish, but also to ensure you hit a specific part of the fish.

The requirements didn’t need to be so harsh, honestly!

"You continue, I’ll go back to fishing."

Can’t learn, can’t learn; he’d better just fish honestly.

But after the show is over and he goes home, he could teach his mother the experience he’s just learned, so they won’t have to end up chasing a fish around the kitchen next time.

After using the arrow to hit two smaller fish, realizing that the fish had noticed the unknown danger in this part of the water, the previously active fish group scattered.

Jiang Lingxi decided to stop while she was ahead; together with Jiang Kaiyuan, the self-proclaimed fishing expert, who caught two fish, they had a total of five fish, which should be enough food for the rest of the day.

It was nearing noon, so they decided to set up camp and start a fire to grill the fish.

"We had roasted rabbit yesterday, now it’s time for grilled fish. Jungle life, how sweet it is, how sweet it is!"

As Jiang Kaiyuan gleefully sang his impromptu little ditty while turning the fish, Jiang Lingxi coolly cut in, "Have you forgotten the trouble we had avoiding the rain in the morning? Aren’t you tired from walking all day? Sweet life?"

Jiang Kaiyuan: "...Rain was an unavoidable incident, and when you’re tired after a whole day and have food to fill your stomach, doesn’t that double the happiness!"

Jiang Lingxi was amused by Jiang Kaiyuan’s optimism, her eyes curved gently as she nodded, "That’s true."

The jungle after the rain smelled particularly fresh; with the breeze blowing, they ate fish more delicious than roasted rabbit. The scene in the live stream seemed less like Wilderness Survival and more like camping by the river.

"The weather in April is neither cold nor hot, and the flowers are in full bloom. Suddenly, I want to go camping at a nearby park."

"Tried it a few days ago, working outdoors, just call a few girlfriends, remember to bring drinks and snacks, and you can spend the whole day outside."

"If you can, bring some raw food and a barbecue grill; outdoor grills are the best, but be certain to be cautious with fire."

"It’s just two more days until the weekend, gotta do it!"

...

Watching the chat drift further and further off topic, along with the two still eating grilled fish in the live stream, Li Shuo couldn’t help rubbing at the stubble he hadn’t had time to shave for two days.

This is Wilderness Survival, for crying out loud, can’t it be like other live streams and give the audience a sense of tension and urgency?

His glance swept over Jiang Kaiyuan’s face and lingered on Jiang Lingxi.

This girl, originally thought she’d be a burden, but turns out she’s a handy ace in the hole!
