The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

Jiang Fan was taken aback by the sudden change in tone and muttered to himself, "What is this? Horse archers...?"

"That makes sense, riding a tricycle is still riding." Ji Ran laughed.

"If she's a mounted archer, then wouldn't you call that the Blue Silver Overlord Spear?" Ding Hang joked.

"It really is! Brother Fan's weapon looks pretty cool." Ji Ran came over and looked Jiang Fan up and down at the spear in his hand.

Only Nangong Yue looked bewildered, not knowing what the others were talking about.

Jiang Fan waved the spear in his hand; the shaft was covered with cracks and was only held together by the Heavenly Cloud Vine.

"I brought a chainsaw. I'll just pick out a few suitable big trees and make them into bridge beams." Tang Qingyu jumped off the tricycle and patted the machine on the back of the vehicle.

Jiang Fan nodded to himself; this was indeed a good idea.

But he didn't rush to agree.

"We're facing food shortages here, a severe lack of clean water, and even a shortage of wood for cooking. There's so much to do..."

Tang Qingyu's breath hitched.

She said so much just now, wasn't it all to gain their favor and get closer to them?

But as soon as we got down to business, this guy started haggling!

How could she not tell that Jiang Fan's complaints were fake, and that he really wanted benefits?

"Please, this leopard can yield at least two or three hundred pounds of meat. You're still short of food? Even if it's not enough, with your skills, is it difficult for you to kill a few ordinary wild animals?"

Jiang Fan remained unfazed and continued, "But we also need to solve the water problem. Even if we get lake water to drink, we have to find a way to heat it up. We don't have enough wood, and it's not easy for us to come out here. There are crocodiles and..."

"Stop, stop, Master, stop chanting! I'll confess, okay?" Tang Qingyu rubbed her forehead, interrupting Jiang Fan's spellcasting.

She pulled a white card from her waist, flicked it with her fingertip, and the card spun and flew towards Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan reached out to take it.

He didn't catch it, so he bent down and picked it up.

[White Skill Card - Gun Weapon Mastery +1]

It was the same kind of card that Nangong Yue had given him before.

"This is your payment, that's enough," Tang Qingyu said helplessly. "Find a few more people, and we can all help. It won't take much effort."

Jiang Fan was surprised to find that Tang Qingyu was actually quite wealthy, and he casually pulled out a card that he needed.

But he still didn't give a straight answer: "Um, I was badly injured in the fight with the leopard earlier. Do you have any healing cards?"

He said that, but what he was really thinking about was Lin Feng.

Yesterday, despite his injuries, Lin Feng still fought desperately against the anaconda right behind me. It would be a lie to say I wasn't worried when I saw him lying weakly in bed.

Although he did suffer some injuries in the collision with the leopard, they were far from requiring special treatment.

"No!" Tang Qingyu glared at Jiang Fan with her beautiful eyes, seemingly dissatisfied with his continued exorbitant demands.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Mutant beast meat is different from ordinary food. It has many benefits for the body. If the injury is not too serious, eating it once or twice will help you recover."

Jiang Fan hadn't expected that mutated animals would have such hidden benefits, so he decided to stop while he was ahead.

He extended his hand: "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"Hmph!" Tang Qingyu turned her head away, leaving him with the back of her head.

Returning to the tricycle, seeing that Jiang Fan and the others hadn't moved, she immediately became impatient: "Come lend a hand, what are you standing there for!"

At the same time, she kicked the tricycle and muttered, "If that annoying Shen Gaoyuan hadn't gotten into trouble on the road, I wouldn't have asked you for help. What a waste of my card! I'll make him pay me back!"

Ding Hang and Ji Ran rushed over to help.

"Don't mind her, that's just how she is, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and a bit arrogant." Nangong Yue comforted Jiang Fan softly, afraid that he would feel awkward if he refused to shake hands.

"Did you know her before?"

"Yes, we went to the same high school, we know each other, but we're not close." Nangong Yue nodded.

Jiang Fan sighed inwardly, wondering why other people ate so well in high school.

Whether it's the outwardly gentle but inwardly strong Nangong Yue or the outwardly cold but inwardly gentle Tang Qingyu, both would be stunning beauties in their own high school.

Even if nothing happens, glancing at it occasionally can help lift your spirits.

What followed was much simpler.

Jiang Fan called over the few people who had hunted the anaconda with him the day before to help.

Thanks to yesterday's system rewards, many people have acquired powerful tools, making the dismantling of the leopard much easier than yesterday.

As the chainsaw hummed nearby, Jiang Fan had already set up the stainless steel basin again.

Although he had just eaten breakfast, Tianyun Teng was exhausted after the fierce battle, and his stomach started growling again.

Congratulations on receiving 55 gratitude points from Li Chuxue!

The system notification delighted Jiang Fan. He had just sent her five catties of leopard meat as a way of thanking her for helping him.

Soon after, Ding Rui also brought a group of girls out from the third floor.

The ladder that was previously placed against the third-floor window has been removed.

Instead, stronger wooden planks were used, and there were also wooden planks on both sides as guardrails, greatly increasing the safety factor for entering and exiting.

This time, Ding Rui didn't confront Jiang Fan directly. Instead, she glanced at the leopard's carcass with a hint of fear and then led her people to explore the surrounding area.

She also left a few people to help Jiang Fan, including Li Chuxue.

"Why isn't it cooked yet? It's been cooking for ages!" Tang Qingyu said impatiently, standing by the pot.

She was very dissatisfied that Jiang Fan didn't help her build a bridge first, but instead "freeloaded" the chainsaw to improve her own passageway.

"Don't worry, once this is done, it'll be easier to get in and out, and more people can come out to help." Jiang Fan stirred the broth. "The experience we gained here will come in handy when we build the bridge to your building later."

Tang Qingyu hummed twice and didn't say anything more, but her puffed-out cheeks showed that she was still dissatisfied with Jiang Fan's explanation.

Ignoring whether she was angry or not, Jiang Fan lifted the wooden pot lid he had just made, scooped out a large piece of cooked meat, put it in a bowl, blew on it slightly, and then began to eat heartily.

It's worth mentioning that the salt Jiang Fan obtained last night came in handy, making the meat much more flavorful and less bland.

Not to be outdone, Tang Qingyu snatched a large piece of meat from the pot and put it in her bowl, blowing on it gently.

Leopard meat is indeed different from ordinary animal meat; it has no fishy smell at all, and is incredibly tender and melts in your mouth.

Jiang Fan could feel the food entering his stomach and quickly turning into energy to nourish his injured body.

The Heavenly Cloud Vine mark on his right hand was slightly warm, and the previous energy expenditure was rapidly recovering.

After confirming that the mutated beast meat was indeed good for the body, Jiang Fan quickly scooped a large bowl out of the pot and asked someone to help deliver it to Lin Feng.

Just then, a figure suddenly darted out from the forest.

It turned out to be the tabby cat that had left alone during his previous battle with the leopard.

But now, in its mouth, there was a leopard cub about the same size as itself.

Jiang Fan was taken aback.

Did they... raid someone's base?

Before Jiang Fan could communicate with it, the rustling sound came from the forest again.

Jiang Fan's lips twitched, and he immediately stood up to be on guard.

At the same time, I mentally labeled the tabby cat as a troublemaker.

Could it be that the leopard's mother is gone, and this has angered the leopard's father?

However, the actual situation was different from what Jiang Fan had expected.

Three men and one woman, four young people, emerged from the fog-shrouded forest.

The woman spotted the tabby cat immediately and pointed at it excitedly, shouting, "There it is! Quickly, bring my cat back!"
