The ever-changing star starts with a rice cooker.

Bai Xiao spoke with great certainty, and many people felt that what he said made a lot of sense.

Zhen Hong naturally wouldn't dwell on this; the reason she asked was simply to demonstrate Bai Xiao's professionalism.

Continuing to observe the other teams, the situation for most is not optimistic.

If things continue like this, it won't even take a day; many teams will face their first crisis in just four or five hours.

Let's see which team can pull off a surprise.

Ning Du and his companions walked slowly through the desert, the intense sun making them dizzy.

Fortunately, they still had Bing Xiaomei by their side. Bing Xiaomei, who exudes a cold aura at any time, is undoubtedly the absolute backbone of the team at this moment.

"Xiaomei, can you turn into another cup of water? I'm dying of heat."

"I only ate two steamed buns this morning, and I was thinking of finishing the competition as soon as possible so I could go back and eat Peking duck. Now I'm the one turning into Peking duck."

"I hate survival games the most!"

Big Eyes and Tall Guy were still yelling.

Bing Xiaomei's forehead was covered in fine sweat; she seemed to be overexerting herself from constantly conjuring up ice water.

Even if it's a skill, you can't keep doing this forever, especially since the current situation is what she hates the most.

"Wait a minute, Xiaomei, are you alright?"

Ning Du was the first to notice that something was wrong with Bing Xiaomei; she was starting to walk unsteadily.

Big Eyes quickly stepped forward to check on Bing Xiaomei's condition and immediately exclaimed, "No, she can't be in the sun! Her abilities are completely countered by the sun. She'll get heatstroke if she's in the sun too long!"

"What?! It has side effects?!"

"Hey, Xiaomei, you're the captain! Don't be the first one to fall!"

Bing Xiaomei waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about me, keep going. I'm the captain, I won't fall."

Seeing that the situation was dire, Ning Du looked around and pointed to a sand dune in the distance, saying, "Let's find a shady spot to rest. This can't go on!"

Bing Xiaomei stubbornly wanted to refuse again, but Ning Du and the others helped her to sit down in the shade of the sand pile, hoping to avoid the shady spot for a while.

Their every move was captured by the flying eye, and the audience throughout the Jiangnan region witnessed this scene.

In the main studio, Bai Xiao also keenly noticed the situation and gently swiped her finger to display the image.

"See? I told you, this team lacks experience. They started having problems after only four or five hours. If I'm not mistaken, it seems this female student's abilities were being countered by the environment, making it difficult for her to last long. This is a crucial issue to be aware of when traversing our world; often, success or failure hinges on the details."

The host, Zhen Hong, chimed in, "Yes. The competition has only been going on for a little over four hours. Some students are already giving up. The heat in this alien desert is often accompanied by scorching heat, making it difficult to continue without water and food. Wait, we've received news that some students have already given up. Let's see what's going on. Oh, a student who's exhausted has fainted, and the rescue team is rapidly approaching."

Bai Xiao kept shaking his head, not only feeling sorry for the eliminated trainees, but also feeling that the young people nowadays were pampered and lacked the hard-working qualities of the older generation of awakened individuals. They couldn't withstand the pressure when faced with real challenges.

With another swipe of his finger, Bai Xiao pointed to the team from Jiangshou No. 1 Middle School. After just one glance, Bai Xiao laughed, "See? A good team can always solve all sorts of problems. The main force of Jiangshou No. 1 Middle School has found the ancient bloodworms hidden in the sand. It's a red worm, somewhat like a large intestine, with teeth at the front. Don't let its ugly appearance fool you; once you peel it open, the blood is thick and viscous. It's disgusting, but drinking its blood can greatly increase your survival time in the desert. Look, everyone, they've already started drinking the bloodworms. Oh, look at their grimacing expressions, it doesn't taste good, does it!"

Bai Xiao laughed even more happily. He had also drunk bloodworms before, so he knew how unpleasant it tasted.

However, this is undoubtedly an excellent way to cross the desert. The first team to find this method and bravely implement it will definitely be a team of the strongest.

The audience was full of praise, all agreeing that the team from Jiangshou No. 1 Middle School was truly exceptional.

They had found a "water source" to replenish their supplies, though not yet food, but they had taken the first step towards success. In comparison, the other teams were still barely holding on.

"My God, it looks terrifying to me, they actually dare to drink it."

"It must taste terrible. Look at Xiao Bo, his face is all contorted."

"There's no other way, this is the only way to win."

"Truly, one must bear the weight of a crown if one desires to wear it!"

Everyone was expressing their feelings.

Bai Xiao scanned a few more teams, finally settling on Ning Du's group, and shook his head, saying, "These guys are definitely not going to make it. They'll probably be eliminated before tonight. Not only have they failed to secure the water source, but they've also become burdened. They won't last long."

Just as Bai Xiao finished speaking, Bing Xiaomei seemed to be considering giving up on Ning Du's side.

"You guys go ahead, I can't stand the sun. I'll have to travel at night. You go first, I'll catch up with you tonight."

"Xiaomei, what are you saying? We're going to abandon you and leave? Are we even human?"

"We're a squad, after all!"

Tall Guy and Big Eyes were both at a loss, gritting their teeth.

Seeing this scene, Ning Du could only sigh.

"Well, it seems it's my turn to step in!"

Ning Du stood up and stretched his body.

Bing Xiaomei turned to look at him. "What are you going to do now? Don't make me laugh, okay? I really can't laugh right now."

Ning Du raised his hand and said, "Don't panic, little girl. Let me save you. This mere desert can't hold me. I will not let the sky obscure my vision, I will not let the earth bury my heart, I will make all the gods and Buddhas vanish into thin air..."

Bing Xiaomei chimed in with a sarcastic remark: "I want you to stop showing off!"

Ning Du laughed heartily, raised his hand, spun around, activated the World Force, and launched the World Core.

"Handsome guy transformation, super transformation!"

The next moment, in front of Bing Xiaomei and the others, Ning Du directly transformed his body.

Then Bing Xiaomei and the others stared at him with their mouths agape.

A body made of iron, hands wielding water pipes, and a toll booth on its chest.

Ning Du performed his "replica transformation" in public for the first time, and thankfully he didn't mess up at the crucial moment.

He successfully transformed into his "initial form," a humanoid beverage machine!

Although it's still a beverage machine, this one looks much bigger than the last one because it uses Brother Biao's accelerated burst method.

A large beverage machine, fully filled with drinks, and it even comes with paper cups!

Ning Du skillfully took out a paper cup, pressed it against his body to fill it with a drink, and handed it to Bing Xiaomei.

"Five dollars a cup, please!"
