Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 9: Brushing Up Your Proficiency

"No, I just watched the video tutorials. I can learn slowly. I am quite talented in these." Meng Chao said with a smile.

He was giving the audience a heads-up. After all, if they had a system, they could quickly master it through proficiency.

Therefore, he must create a character with explosive learning ability.

[This amateur is really confident, thinking that anyone with a hand can throw a spear? ]

[This is not called confidence, this is called pretending. In front of beautiful women, men love to pretend. ]

[She is not afraid of pretending to be stupid. She is a well-known artist, not a little girl who knows nothing. ]

[I just learned archery from the immortal and I am so proud of myself. I think that if I hit the target by chance, it is my own skill.]

Meng Chao found that his popularity was decreasing instead of increasing, and dropped directly back to 127.

It was only at this time that he realized that his popularity was real-time, and if it increased, he needed to find a way to maintain it.

However, Meng Chao is not worried about losing fans.

As long as you demonstrate extraordinary learning ability, your value will naturally rise again.

He continued to sharpen the stick with his machete and fashion it into a javelin.

[Sharpening proficiency +1]

Seeing this prompt, Meng Chao found that the system was very detailed and proficiency could be gained by doing many things.

"There's no need to make so many of them. A sharpened one can be used not only as a javelin, but also as a walking stick to alert the enemy." An Yifei reminded him. She hoped to waste less time.

"Yes, one is enough for each person. More will be difficult to carry. I didn't think it through." Meng Chao smiled naively.

He was just trying to gain proficiency and didn't really want everyone to bring two sticks.

Soon, Meng Chao had sharpened five javelins.

After finishing the cut, Meng Chao immediately gave it back to Cai Fankun who had been watching him from the side.

"Okay, let's go. Let's try to find a water source as soon as possible and then set up camp."

"Don't waste these sticks. We can use them to set up camp later." As he said this, Ma Dongxi tied the remaining six sticks together with a vine he picked up, and then carried them on his shoulders.

Ma Dong-seok's hard work is to let everyone know that he is a qualified leader.

Meng Chao wished that someone could do more work so that he could have more ease.

After walking for some distance, he found that the jungle was beginning to grow dense.

"The forest is getting denser and denser. We need to use a machete to clear a path."

After hearing what Ma Dongxi said, Cai Fankun immediately became proud.

He is the only one with a machete in the team.

Of course, he would never do such a thing as clearing the way.

"There's something wrong with the route you chose. Continuing will only waste our energy. It's been half an hour, and we haven't found any water. I don't think there's any need to continue." Cai Fankun finally found an opportunity to target, and naturally he would not let it go.

"What's wrong with this route? The dense jungle means the soil is fertile, there is plenty of rainfall, and it is easier to find food. Did you come to the show without any preparation at all?" Ma Dong-seok did not indulge the other party and directly retorted.

[Conflicts are interesting indeed. The other groups seem very harmonious, but the harmony seems fake. This group is more authentic.]

[Indeed, this group gave me the feeling of a reality show, while the other groups were just showing off their acting skills.]

[To be honest, Aikun is a little tougher than I thought. ]

[It's time for the amateurs to step up and do the work again. How pitiful! The artists in other groups are very considerate of the amateurs. ]

[Tianxian is so beautiful. It is a pleasure to hike there. 】

[Sissi is absolutely beautiful. I really want to walk in the jungle with her. It's so romantic! ]

[This Peninsula girl is pretty and sings even better. I’m a fan of her. ]

When the two of them start to argue, the comments in the live broadcast room will instantly increase. As an amateur, Meng Chao is hardly discussed by anyone.

Unless he can perform well.

Meng Chao knew very well that Ma Dongxi would not change his route, and Cai Fankun would not give the knife to the other party.

"Hey, you come and clear the way. My knife can't be used by just anyone. We are compatriots."

Meng Chao glanced at Cai Fankun, silently took the machete, and then handed the hanging pot to Cai Fankun.

This is an opportunity to improve his proficiency, and Meng Chao wants to seize it.

So he walked to the front with a knife to clear the way.

[Chopping proficiency +1]
[Chopping proficiency +1]
[Chopping proficiency +1]
……

As his proficiency continued to increase, Meng Chao became happier and happier.

He found that his strength had indeed increased, and chopping these small bushes was very easy and effortless.

There is no doubt that this is the effect of upgrading the proficiency of chopping.

Now he wanted to know what benefits he would get after upgrading the proficiency of chopping to 1000 points.

As he chopped down more and more small bushes, he found that his popularity was also growing.

He guessed that someone must be discussing him in the live broadcast room.

[Doesn't this fat guy get tired? ]

[There's something special about his sword technique. It's not just a simple chopping.]

[Oh my god, the way he raised his sword and slashed it down, I thought he was a general on the battlefield chopping down the enemy! ]

[It’s really relaxing. It turns out that chopping these small shrubs is so fun. I want to try it too. ]

[Isn't he worried about chopping off his own hand? He has such strong endurance? ]

Meng Chao was not wrong, some people did pay attention to him.

"Oppa, you should take a break. It's easy to get blisters on your hands." Lee Ji-eun said with some concern.

"Yes, it's easy to injure the arm muscles." An Yifei said with concern.

Meng Chao was very happy to receive the care of two people.

He stopped, opened his waist bag, and took out a towel in a sealed bag from it.

After wiping the sweat off his face, Meng Chao hung the towel around his neck.

Taking off the kettle hanging around his waist, Meng Chao drank some water.

During this period, he has gained more than 200 points of chopping proficiency.

He planned to take a break and then continue, aiming to accumulate a thousand points of proficiency before finding a water source.

"Can we find a water source?" An Yifei asked as she saw Meng Chao sitting down casually, unscrewing her kettle.

"Of course we can. The vegetation on this island is growing well, so there is definitely no shortage of water. However, we may not be able to find a suitable water source before dark."

Maybe it was because he was fat, he was sweating every time he moved, which made Meng Chao a little uncomfortable.

In the past, he was obviously a thin man.

However, he believed that he would be able to lose weight soon and maybe even build some muscles.

He used to stay at home too much and was too lazy to exercise.

Now people are on a deserted island and need to do a lot of manual labor every day, which is undoubtedly a good exercise for the body.

In addition, there was not enough food, so it was no surprise that he would become thin due to hunger.
