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

The entire school seemed to have been forcibly inserted into a boundless primeval rainforest.

Looking around, towering trees can be seen in all directions.

The tree canopy blocked out the sun, and vines hung down like curtains. In the distance came the sharp and unfamiliar cries of unknown birds and beasts.

Even more bizarre is the water level.

The muddy floodwaters stopped at the second-floor rooftop, as if an invisible line was blocking them.

The rooftop is about four or five meters above the water.

This means they are safe for the time being.

But safety is only relative.

Jiang Fan's gaze swept over the edge of the rooftop.

There were some scattered bird droppings and feathers, as well as some claw marks.

Large claw marks.

"What the hell..." Lin Feng saw it too, and gasped, "What is that? An eagle?"

"Bigger than an eagle." Nangong Yue squatted down and gestured with her fingers to indicate the distance between the claw marks. "At least... two meters in wingspan."

Everyone's hearts sank.

Are there anacondas underwater and birds of prey in the sky?

"Don't think about it too much." Jiang Fan looked away. "Hurry up and prepare the meat."

Looking into the distance, you can see people also active on the rooftops of other dormitory buildings on campus.

This at least shows that everyone is safe for the time being.

The rooftop is spacious enough for dozens of people to move around in.

There are several abandoned solar water heater supports in the center, which can be used to hold pots.

Everyone quickly got to work.

Someone went downstairs and brought back the cookware they had found before, including several stainless steel basins.

Someone brought clothes and plastic waste that they had prepared beforehand to start a fire.

Lin Feng and Ding Hang weighed the twenty kilograms of meat on a scale and handed it to a girl on the fourth floor.

Throughout the entire process, Jiang Fan stood on the edge of the rooftop, gazing at the rainforest in the distance.

The tabby cat crouched at his feet, staring in the same direction, purring softly as if issuing a warning.

"What are you looking at?" Nangong Yue walked to his side and handed him a bottle of mineral water.

"Let's see how much longer we can live." Jiang Fan took the bottle of mineral water and chug down half of it, finally relieving the burning sensation in his mouth.

Nangong Yue remained silent for a moment.

"Thank you for what you just said."

"What are you thanking me for?"

"Thank you for not really abandoning them." Nangong Yue looked at the busy crowd. "If you had just left... this group would have been scattered today."

Jiang Fan smiled but didn't say anything.

Of course he won't leave.

If I leave, where will I earn gratitude points?

Just then, a system notification sounded in my ear.

Congratulations on receiving 30 points of gratitude from Nangong Yue!

Congratulations on receiving 17 gratitude points from Raymond Lam!

Congratulations on receiving 46 gratitude points from Ding Hang!

Congratulations on receiving 22 points of gratitude from Ji Ran!

Jiang Fan opened the system panel, and the total gratitude points quickly jumped from 569 to 684.

And it is still slowly rising.

This means he will soon be able to buy the blue blind box.

"Everyone." Jiang Fan turned around and walked to the center of the crowd.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him.

"This meat was earned through everyone's hard work and sacrifice," Jiang Fan's voice echoed from the rooftop. "So, there needs to be a clear agreement on how it should be divided."

He paused, then continued:

"My suggestion is to distribute the rewards according to merit."

"Tier 1: Those who directly participated in the hunt and subdued the anaconda. Me, Lin Feng, Nangong Yue, Ding Hang, Ji Ran, and four other brothers."

He called out names one by one, and the four bold boys immediately straightened their backs and scanned the crowd.

"Second tier: Those who participate in the division, processing, and transportation."

"Tier 3: Everyone else."

"In addition, the wounded will receive a little extra."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the crowd and asked, "Any objections?"

No one spoke.

This method of division is very fair.

Those who contribute more should receive more, and those who contribute less should receive less; it is only right to take care of the vulnerable.

"Then let's start distributing them." Jiang Fan personally distributed them.

The meat chunks had already been processed and divided into piles according to weight.

He first gave Lin Feng the largest pile.

This guy was the first to catch up with him, and smashed a stool into the anaconda's head, sending it flying and almost breaking its arm.

Then came Nangong Yue, who was the second to rush up.

Ding Hang, Ji Ran... they were all handed out one by one.

The system will sound an alarm once for each portion distributed.

[Congratulations on receiving [name]'s... gratitude points]

After the final round was completed, the gratitude value had skyrocketed to 1033 points.

Jiang Fan suppressed the urge to immediately redeem the blue blind box and looked at the last remaining piece of meat.

Thirty catties will be eaten tonight, and the remaining fifty catties were decided by everyone after discussion to be distributed to Jiang Fan.

"Lin Feng, take thirty catties of meat from my share and send it to the fourth floor."

Lin Feng was stunned, almost thinking he had misheard: "Fanzi, didn't you just say... they were going to steal it!"

"That was just now," Jiang Fan interrupted him, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority. "The meat was my personal allocation. How I handle it is my business."

He looked at the equally puzzled crowd around him and explained:

"I rejected Ding Rui not because I'm stingy, but because she wanted to gain something for nothing, and tried to use 'waste' and 'morality' to blackmail us, taking what everyone had risked their lives for. This is a matter of principle, and I cannot back down."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over every face:

"But now, the meat has already been distributed according to merit. The portion I have is mine. If I voluntarily share it with the fourth floor, the nature of the distribution is completely different."

"First, this tells them, and everyone else: I, Jiang Fan, deal with things objectively, not personally. I will not back down an inch when it's time to fight, and I will never hesitate to unite when it's time to stand together."

"Secondly," Jiang Fan looked into the distance, "everyone knows what the current situation is like. The more people who have the strength, the more hope we have of surviving. This thirty pounds of meat is not charity, it's an investment—an investment in a neighbor who might fight alongside us in the future, rather than stabbing us in the back."

"Third, and most importantly," Jiang Fan's voice deepened, "I want the people on the fourth floor, especially Ding Rui and those who joined her in this commotion, to understand."

"I can give because I'm willing to give, because I feel I should give. It's not because they ask for it that I have to give."

"These two are worlds apart."

After he finished speaking, he patted Lin Feng on the shoulder: "Go ahead. By the way, tell them that the meat was given to them personally by me, Jiang Fan. If they want more, or want to eat it again next time, they can exchange it for something, or... for the next operation, they can contribute manpower."

Lin Feng stared blankly at Jiang Fan, then suddenly grinned and said, "Okay! Fanzi, I'll listen to you."

He picked up the meat, turned around and left, and Ding Hang quickly followed to help.

The crowd around them, who had initially been somewhat puzzled, now showed expressions of realization and admiration.

Congratulations on receiving 25 points of gratitude from Raymond Lam!

Congratulations on receiving 30 points of Nangong Yue's Gratitude Value!

Congratulations on receiving 20 Ding Hang Gratitude Points!

...

The system notification sounded quietly again.

Jiang Fan watched Lin Feng and his companion's retreating figures, silently reciting in his heart:

"A combination of kindness and severity is the way to manage subordinates. Unconditional hardline approach only creates enemies. Now... let's see what surprises that blue blind box has in store for me."
