Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 13 Collision with the Fairy

Touching the calluses on his palms, Meng Chao calmly checked his system panel to see if there would be any changes.

【Player: Meng Chao】

【Popularity: 7983】

【技能：钻木取火（熟练）0/1000、劈砍（熟练）567/1000、挖掘（熟练）23/1000】

There is no special change, just an additional newly upgraded mining proficiency.

It turns out that the panel was just as he expected, with only items that had been upgraded to (Proficient) level being displayed.

After checking, he closed the panel, picked up a stick on the ground, and prepared to try to make fire by rubbing two sticks together.

After the upgrade, he has not yet tried out the skill that appeared on the system panel.

"Can you do it? You didn't even light the fire this morning." Cai Fankun immediately questioned Meng Chao when he saw him about to take action.

Meng Chao didn't say anything and just started working.

After a few seconds, Li Zhien excitedly pulled An Yifei's sleeve and said, "Look, there's smoke."

Meng Chao's speed was very fast, and the white smoke was getting more and more.

Ma Dong-seok, who was sharpening a wooden stick, stopped immediately after seeing this.

"That's amazing! I really can't match your speed. You must have been single for many years, right?"

While Ma Dongxi was surprised, Meng Chao quickly picked up the wood chips and placed the tinder underneath.

The spark fell on the tinder, and after blowing a few times, the tinder was ignited and burned instantly.

"That's amazing, Oppa, you are so great. You ignited the fire so quickly." Lee Ji-eun gave Meng Chao two thumbs up and looked at him with admiration.

[So sweet, worthy of being a Peninsula sweet girl! ]

[I also want to be praised by such a beautiful goddess, I can also get out of the fire]

[Who wouldn’t be confused by this look of admiration? I envy this fat guy more and more. ]

【It’s over. I’m going to fall in love. 】

[Hahaha, looking at Aykun's confused expression, he really thought that his success in the morning was due to his own strength. Without Brother Chao's long drilling experience to accumulate heat, how could a loser like him possibly succeed?]

[I am impressed by this fat guy again. Is he really a otaku? 】

Meng Chao discovered that his popularity value began to rise again, heading straight for nine thousand.

An Yifei didn't say anything. She silently piled the folded branches above the flames and cooperated with Meng Chao to start the fire.

"I'll go collect some firewood." Ma Dongxi put on his hat and went straight into the rain.

Meng Chao didn't expect that in the parallel world, the artists from Peninsula would still work so hard.

The reason why their variety shows are so good to watch is mainly because the artists are willing to give it their all and their performances in front of the camera are very impressive.

However, domestic entertainment artists are extremely pretentious even in front of the camera. They cannot bear any hardship and most of them are so artificial that they make people uncomfortable.

Li Zhien didn't think much and just followed him out.

However, Ma Dongxi pushed her back and said, "You wash the cassava and I will take care of the firewood."

Seeing this, Cai Fankun put on his hat and followed him out quietly, knowing that he would be criticized by passers-by again.

And all this is Ma Dongxi's fault!

After all, you are an artist, why do you work so hard? Can't you just deceive the audience?
He certainly can't do the work, but he still has to act.

Otherwise, he knew very well that he would be criticized.

If you act it out, you might be able to gain some fans.

His hands are all blistered because of today's show, he has worked hard enough!
After Cai Fankun left, Meng Chao and An Yifei were the only ones left in the temporary shelter. "Will this rain really not last long?" An Yifei also joined in washing cassava.

She and Lee Ji-eun squatted in the shelter, rubbing the dirt off the cassava back and forth, and then washing it clean with the help of rain water.

"Rain on this kind of small island usually doesn't last long, no more than three hours at most."

As soon as Meng Chao finished speaking, An Yifei found that the rain outside suddenly became lighter.

“Is this going to stop?”

An Yifei turned her head and found Meng Chao was looking at her.

"Well, it should stop soon." Meng Chao did not avoid it, but continued to look at An Yifei.

Thirty days may seem long, but it is actually very short.

Therefore, he was unwilling to miss this opportunity to appreciate the other person openly.

"Oppa, what you said is so accurate. It seems that the rain will stop soon."
"It's a pity that we didn't receive much water." Meng Chao said with some regret. After all, the diameter of the pot was not large, and the amount of rainwater that could be received was relatively limited.

An Yifei came over and was about to take a look, but bumped into Meng Chao's head.

"Sorry, I hope I didn't hurt you?" Meng Chao hurriedly asked with concern.

An Yifei pressed her head and rubbed it.

"No, it wasn't a serious bump. I'm not that squeamish. It's inevitable to get bumps and bruises when participating in a show like this."

Hearing An Yifei say this, Meng Chao couldn't help but reveal a look of admiration.

As expected of the goddess I’ve been a fan of, she is truly straightforward and not at all pretentious or hypocritical.

The rain outside was still falling sparsely and had not stopped completely.

"Should we continue on our journey or have lunch first?" An Yifei took out the squirrel, feeling a little troubled.

"Let's have lunch first. There's water on the bushes now. If we hurry, we'll all get wet." As he said that, Meng Chao picked up the pot.

"Take care of the fire while I collect some rainwater. We haven't found a water source yet, so let's try not to use our own drinking water."

"If you don't know how to deal with this squirrel, I'll help you later." As he said that, Meng Chao walked directly towards a bush with the pot.

An Yifei was curious about how Meng Chao collected rainwater, so she looked at him.

Meng Chao was seen holding the pot in one hand and shaking the bushes with the other to shake off the rain water on the leaves.

This way, some rain water will enter the pot.

[Collection proficiency +1]

Meng Chao didn't expect that such behavior could be considered as gathering, and that he could also gain proficiency.

Not only did he gain proficiency, but his popularity also increased a bit.

He guessed that there must be someone in the live broadcast room who approved of his collection behavior, so his popularity increased.

[This fat guy is really good. He even knows how to collect rainwater. ]

[This is not called fat, this is called strong. The great generals in ancient times all had this body type. ]

[You hurt our goddess, but you didn’t even bother to comfort her or rub her. What a straight man! ! ]

[Hehe, if I say anything to comfort you, you will say that I am the boss and you are taking advantage of me.]

Ma Dong-seok and his friends also brought back some dead branches. There was no shortage of such branches in the jungle, and they were originally quite dry.

Even after some rain, the inside is still dry and easy to burn.

An Yifei quickly broke off some branches and placed them on the fire to prevent the bonfire from going out.
