After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 93 A Difficult Attempt: Starting a Fire and Grilling
For the second round, Li Chengxiao deliberately served a few extra pieces, glancing at the seven guests who hadn't yet made a move.

A few seconds later, Chi Song steeled himself and stepped forward, taking a small plate of beef and chopsticks.

"If you're not full, come and get more."

Chi Song: "...Yes, instructor."

From the very first bite, it was obvious to both the other guests and the viewers in the live stream that he swallowed it whole without chewing.

Seeing this, before he could eat his second piece, Li Chengxiao said, "Chew twice before swallowing, don't choke, learn from your captain."

Chi Song: "..."

[Instructor, are you a devil?]

I want to advise the instructor to be kind.

At least Chi Song managed to swallow a piece, but the rest of the guests couldn't even manage one piece.

[You can't choke on a question; the instructor is right, it can be dangerous to have something stuck in your throat.]

Chi Song simply treated himself like a machine, mechanically chewing the food twice before swallowing.

I finally managed to finish the few pieces on my plate.

"anything else?"

"No, no, I'm full."

[They really did chew each piece twice, not a single bite more.]

Haha, this is only a few pieces, you're definitely not full.

The answer is: I'm full, I can't eat another piece.

[This is the first time I've seen Chi Song so terrified, and the object of her fear is food.]

Some foods can indeed be used as weapons, such as stinky tofu, canned herring, and blue cheese; the smell, if you smell it too strongly, can hit you right in the head.

Stop talking, the live stream is starting to smell.

After Chi Song, Ji Xingchen, Xi Ming, and Yun Shuihan, three male guests, each received a small plate.

Those who can control their expressions eat mechanically like Chi Song, while those who can't control themselves eat with a distorted face.

[Currently, no one enjoys eating as much as Jiang Hanying.]

[If the male guests are like this, what about the female guests...]

Yuan Chaoyu hadn't eaten yet; he almost threw up just watching Jiang Hanying eat.

Please don't make things difficult for the goddess!

The instructors must treat everyone equally; they can't make an exception for your goddesses.

The remaining three female guests looked at each other. Cheng Zhaoyi took a deep breath and stepped forward to take the plate handed to her by the instructor.

She pursed her lips and ate a piece without expression.

Yu Feng already knew that he absolutely couldn't ask Jiang Hanying for help with his mental preparation, so after seeing Cheng Zhaoyi finish eating, he quickly asked, "How did you feel?"

Cheng Zhaoyi thought for a moment and replied seriously, "My suggestion is that you try not to think about eating raw meat. Imagine it as some other food, and you'll be more able to accept it."

"Then I'll try."

She said she'd give it a try, but fearing she wouldn't be able to finish it, she only ordered two pieces in the end.

I almost threw up after the first bite, but I felt better after the second bite, and I still refused to eat a third bite.

Seeing this, Yuan Chaoyu moved his lips with difficulty, "One piece, I only need one piece, I'm not hungry!"

The last thing that terrified Yuan Chaoyu this much was a duck walk.

The power of raw meat is terrifying!

Wow, the camera just panned to Jiang Hanying, and her plate was almost empty!

What if someone spills it when they're not looking?

[No one would dare waste food under the instructor's watchful eye.]

Is it really that hard to admit that others can eat whatever they want?

Yuan Chaoyu put the meat in her mouth, then immediately covered her mouth with the hand holding the chopsticks, gritted her teeth, and swallowed it whole. She had already used up all her courage just to put the meat in her mouth; she simply didn't have the courage to bite down any further.

Li Chengxiao noticed her little actions, but didn't expose her. He looked down at the basin where there was still about half a piece of meat left.

As for the half that had already gone down, the combined food consumed by the other seven people was probably about the same as what Jiang Hanying ate!

Only then did he explain the purpose of this special lunch: "Actually, raw food is also part of wilderness training. The purpose is to overcome psychological barriers, replenish energy, and ensure survival in extreme environments. I don't have such high expectations for you. Just try it out."

The guests immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Yun Shuihan ate the least among the boys, only one more piece than Yu Feng, and not even as much as Cheng Zhaoyi, a girl. His stomach was still rumbling, and he couldn't help but ask, "Instructor, will there be a normal lunch afterwards?"

"This involves another aspect of wilderness survival training: starting a fire in the wild. You can use whatever materials you have on hand. As long as you can start a fire, you can roast the remaining meat in this pot."

Haha, today's lunch is all about seeing what you can do!

[Instructor: Eat what you can eat raw; if you can't, cook it yourself.]

[If we're using locally available materials, then the only thing we could do is start a fire by rubbing sticks together, right?]

I tried it during a previous camping trip, and no more than two out of ten people could succeed. It requires a lot of patience, strength, and a bit of luck.

I have a feeling that only Jiang Hanying will be able to eat her fill at lunch today.

Upon hearing that they needed to use local materials to start a fire, the first thing the guests thought of was making fire by friction.

The campsite was surrounded by bushes and trees, so there was no shortage of materials.

But collecting materials is only the first step in getting a fire going.

Just as the group was about to go to the vicinity to collect materials, Jiang Hanying let out a magnificent burp.

That's quite a target of hatred.

He then stood up and joined the team collecting materials.

Yu Feng couldn't help but turn to look at her: "You're already full, why are you coming with us?"

"I'd also like to try grilling meat; it's even more fragrant when grilled."

Yu Feng: "..."

There's really no way to refute that!
So everyone else was collecting materials on an empty stomach, while Jiang Hanying just used this little bit of exercise to digest her food.

Once the meat is grilled, it will be ready to eat again.

perfect!

Li Chengxiao followed behind the guests collecting materials with his hands behind his back, giving them pointers: "Try to find some soft, thick branches for the drill board, as they are easier to drill through. The branches you use as drill bits should be harder. Also, collect some dry grass, animal fur, etc., which are easy to ignite. Collect as much as you can before heading back, otherwise you'll have to run back to collect more if you find you don't have enough, which wastes time. In addition, dry branches on trees are drier and easier to ignite than those on the ground."

The guests were initially overwhelmed by the instructions, but fortunately, Xi Ming quickly came up with a solution.

There are only three kinds of materials in total. There are eight of them, so they can easily form teams of two or three to collect one kind of material and then distribute them back at the airport.

Seeing that the instructors listened without stopping them, everyone understood that this method was permissible, and they quickly formed teams.

My younger brother is quite quick-witted.

[Young people do tend to have quick minds.]

With this collaboration, each person only needs to collect one item, which greatly improves efficiency.

In less than half an hour, everyone returned home with their bags full.

Li Chengxiao took some materials from each of the three piles, and then took out two more items.

"I'll provide the knife; it'll be used for grooving and drilling. If you want to make an upgraded fire bow, you'll also need rope. Now, I'll demonstrate."

"Instructor, aren't ropes provided?"

Li Chengxiao looked up at Yun Shuihan, "You don't have a rope on you? Then look carefully."

"On me?"

[Young man, the shoelaces on your boots can just be pulled out and used as rope!]

Not only is it long enough, it's also incredibly sturdy!
