After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1223: Beast Taming, I Can Do That Too
He had been watching Zhouzhou make her way over, and was most familiar with her abilities.
If she were to use all her skills, he might not even be able to defeat her now.
After all, Zhouzhou was in her prime, while he, on the other hand, was aging, his arms and legs not as quick as they once were.
Augusta was the same.
If Zhouzhou went up against him, it wasn't certain that she would defeat him without any harm, but the final result would definitely be Augusta's death.
What worried him, however, was that Augusta was a man without moral boundaries, always resorting to underhanded tricks.
That was the reason he had been locked in a deadlock with him for so long.
Otherwise, during their last encounter, he wouldn't have let Augusta escape.
Just thinking about it made him angry.
But remembering that Augusta was about to fall into Zhouzhou's hands, he couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement.
Soon, Augusta would realize that dying by Zhouzhou's hand would be the best outcome for him.
After all, in Zhouzhou's world, death was just the beginning—there was still a lot of suffering ahead.
Tch.
He was already looking forward to it.
As for Qin Lie, he gritted his teeth and did his best to ignore the sounds in his ears. When he got back, he would deal with him!
For now, he'd watch over his little daughter.
This island was the territory of A Country, and they were hosting the competition, so naturally, the food was in line with their local customs.
Zhouzhou looked at the Western-style food with a disgusted expression.
Army Commander said, "Just eat a bit for now. After the competition ends, I'll treat you to a month of meals."
Zhouzhou's eyes immediately lit up. "Deal!"
Looking at the Western food, she sighed, "Alright, I'll bear with it."
She let everyone take what they wanted first, then she piled the rest of the food onto her plate and devoured it all in one go.
The table was soon cleared, with only a few empty plates left.
Augusta had people keeping an eye on her, and one of them immediately reported the situation to him.
Upon hearing the report, Augusta's face momentarily showed confusion, as if he didn't understand why Zhouzhou had done that. He frowned and said, "She doesn't mean to starve her opponent, does she?"
His subordinates were also perplexed and hesitated, "But wouldn't that strategy be useless?"

Everyone present had undergone starvation training at some point.
During missions, it was common to go without food for three days and nights.
If she thought she could eliminate someone by starving them, that was a bit too naive.
Ye Lingfeng, floating in the sky, had been planning to come and check what trick Augusta was up to, but upon hearing this, he burst out laughing.
"Of course, people with sinister intentions always think others are up to no good. My daughter is just hungry!"
"Look at this horrible Western food, it's tasteless and not even enough in quantity. Good thing they're providing food, or Zhouzhou wouldn't even bother. Do you know how much money she'd need just to eat enough?"
Upon hearing this, Ancestral Master's lips twitched, and he gave Ye Lingfeng a speechless look.
His tone, his expression—it was clear where Zhouzhou got it from.
She was just like her father.
Whenever she went on a mission, she'd come back and claim a stack of receipts for reimbursement.
It was hard to look at!
Although her account now had plenty of money, she still got upset if anyone tried to cheat her out of even a penny.
Sometimes he really wondered if she was genuinely poor, or if it was just a deep-rooted obsession with saving.
If it were Zhouzhou answering, she would definitely pick the latter.
There was no helping it; she was a money addict. Even if she had mountains of gold and silver, she probably wouldn't be able to change this habit.
However, Brother Dafu had said that it wasn't a big deal—whatever was theirs to begin with, they took back without shame.
And Zhouzhou was very open-minded about this.
Without caring for the stares of others, she stuffed herself full, left a mountain of packaging behind, and walked off.
The chefs, witnessing this scene, were both surprised and pleased.
Was his food really that good?
He hadn't expected to meet someone who appreciated it here. Praise be to God!
What he didn't know was that as soon as Zhouzhou left, she immediately began to complain.
"If it weren't for the fact that I was starving, I wouldn't even want to eat this. Compared to our meals, this is pig food."
Xi Mo and the others nodded in agreement.
That's right, it really was like that.
Zhouzhou sighed and told herself to bear with it.
She turned to Commander and asked, "Mr. Commander, how many more days until this ends?"
She was already eager to go back for a real meal.
Even if it was just cabbage at home, it would still be better than the food here!
Commander replied, "Based on previous years, the competition lasts for three days and nights."
"During this time, you'll have to take care of your own food and accommodations."
In reality, the competition didn't have a fixed schedule.
The rules were simple: eliminate the other team and see who survives until the end.
There would also be staff members who would launch attacks at them during the competition. If they were hit in a vital area, they would be eliminated.
The last one standing with the mission objective would win.
This was still a tropical island, with plenty of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. They would have to face not only human threats but also the dangers of nature.
Speaking of this, Commander's face grew serious as he said, "You must be careful. Augusta is not a normal opponent."
It was said that he had been raised by a tiger king from a young age and had the ability to control all animals.
Facing such an opponent, especially in this environment, Zhouzhou might end up at a disadvantage.
There was a time when Ye Lingfeng almost eliminated Augusta. But due to the help of animals, Augusta narrowly escaped.
They had all seen this information before, but whenever they thought of that scene, it felt troublesome.
They couldn't just kill all the animals.
One reason was that they didn't want to do that. Everything in nature has a spirit, and animals also have lives—they couldn't just slaughter them.
The other reason was that they simply couldn't do it.
Even if they could kill one or two, it was impossible to eliminate them all.
Besides, the animals were innocent; they hadn't done anything wrong. The problem lay with Augusta.
Zhouzhou stroked her chin thoughtfully. "Beast taming, huh? My Sixth Senior Brother taught me that too."
Commander knew who her Sixth Senior Brother was.
But he was a bit skeptical. "He's someone who runs a zoo. He can't compare to those fierce beasts in the wild."
Zhouzhou shrugged. "I don't know, I haven't tried it yet. We'll see when the time comes."
They had already come this far—there was no turning back. They couldn't just quit because things got tough.
He only hoped they could all return safely and healthily.
Soon, someone called Commander to a meeting.
Zhouzhou and the others went back to rest. The competition would start tomorrow, so they needed to be well-rested.
In the dead of night, as everything around them was silent, Zhouzhou suddenly opened her eyes wide.
In an instant, she leapt out of bed, grabbed a copper coin from the side, and threw it.
