Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

Chen Hao brought over a few vines and a fist-sized stone.

"Tie the vines to the stones."

Then I quickly tied it up myself.

It's actually a very simple trap: a living creature triggers a fulcrum, the fulcrum pulls a stone, the stone falls to the ground, and the cage closes.

Seeing how he played, Ou Yun quickly finished one too.

"Put it here. There's a lot of bird droppings here, which means birds often stop here."

There are two traps, one on each side.

Ou Yun and Chen Hao crouched in the grass at a distance, watching.

"How long does it take for this kind of trap to catch its prey?"

"We'll see. But we often see birds around here, so..."

As soon as Chen Hao finished speaking, a bird chirping came from above.

It flew overhead and landed on a branch above the trap.

"They are very common sparrows."

Chen Hao was fairly satisfied.

Ou Yun nodded, "Perfect for a beginner like me."

The sparrow hopped around in the tree for a while, then flew down to the ground and started looking for food.

They found Chen Hao's trap in no time.

He jumped in and pecked at the insect.

"Splat!"

The cage covered the sparrows.

Chen Hao was quite pleased with himself. "See? It's that simple."

Ou Yun slapped his thigh, "That's really easy!"

Chen Hao didn't rush over to capture the sparrows, fearing it would disturb the others and cause Ou Yun's trap to fail.

The two continued to crouch in the bushes, keeping watch for the trap.

Leng Ruolan glanced at the two of them, yawned, and turned the page over.

This amused the Chinese audience again.

"Yes, in our Dragon Kingdom live streaming rooms, you can even see players going AFK."

"Hey, hey, what do you mean by 'AFK'? Don't dampen the child's enthusiasm!"

"It's rare for a child to want to experience life, so let's grant their wish."

"Yes, ever since the child came to this place, all the resources have come from the forbidden area, which the child has managed to obtain on his own."

"You can't say that. It's not easy for the kids to come to this place. What's wrong with letting them relax?"

"Hahaha, let's get another Dass!"

Foreign audiences found it incredibly difficult to keep up:

"Did I tune into the wrong channel again? Is this an outdoor variety show or a forbidden wilderness adventure?"

"Alright, I know your Chinese players are pretty free, but could you at least put on a little show?"

"Okay, okay, so you're not going to act anymore!"

"No, buddy, our contestants have a hard time even digging up some weeds! You guys catch birds just for an extra meal?!"

"What extra food? Didn't you read the instructions carefully? This is just an order from the Emperor of Europe."

"..."

But I don't know why.

Since Chen Hao's trap was upgraded to +1, Ou Yun's trap has remained inactive for half a day.

The sparrows were still hopping on the branches, but they wouldn't come down.

They probably ate too much and were stuffed.

They gradually lost patience with the European Union.

"Forget it, I think this trap has failed again."

Chen Hao wore an expression of surprise yet also understanding. "No, no, why rush a trap? Maybe we'll reap the rewards tonight."

Ou Yun shrugged, "Now there are so many birds during the day but we can't catch them, and there are hardly any at night..."

Oh well, his luck is terrible. Even if the trap is successfully set, he still won't be caught, haha.

Seeing his expression, Chen Hao quickly comforted him, "It's alright, traps are meant to lure those who are willing to take the bait..."

The European Games are about to depart.

The trap is moving.

—To be precise, it's not a trap, but only part of a trap.

The stone is hanging on the tree, and gravity can quickly pull away the fulcrum supporting the lid.

But now.

The rock that Ou Yun was holding onto was obviously too big, and the vines couldn't hold onto it; it was showing signs of slipping out.

With sparrows hopping on the branches, the twigs tremble slightly, causing the stones to slide outwards a little further.

Looking at the sparrows that preferred to hop in the trees rather than go into the cage, Ou Yun thought to himself, "Why am I bothering with all this? I could just sweep them away with a swarm of birds!"

Never mind, I might get scolded by the Cold Team.

But it's okay, he still has a good attitude.

Otherwise, with his bad luck, he wouldn't have survived this long; he would have died of anger long ago.

"Alright, let's go check around and see if there's a suitable place to stay and set up camp."

After saying that, Ou Yun was about to leave.

Chen Hao didn't say anything more. He was thinking of coming back to check the card later, maybe he would find something useful.

—But it seems we don't need to wait any longer.

Chen Hao suddenly saw the stone that Ou Yun was tied to break free of the vine and fall from the tree, which was more than ten meters high.

His gaze unconsciously followed the rock that was undergoing a vertical drop—

"Thump."

A muffled thud.

It was clearly not the sound of something hitting the ground.

It looks more like something was smashed.

Ou Yun, however, didn't see it. Instead, she urged Chen Hao, "Hmm? Are we going or not?"

"Walk--"

[Congratulations to Ou Yun from China for successfully eliminating the little squirrel!]

[Triggering a 10,000x increase in deployment: Little Squirrel!]

Before they even left, a notice came that the area was off-limits.

Ou Yun stopped walking and looked back at Chen Hao.

"?"

She cast a questioning look at him.

Chen Hao shrugged and shook his head.

Ou Yun scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered. "You must have misheard."

Chen Hao scratched his head as well, "Uh, I think I've stumbled upon something..."

next to.

Leng Ruolan, who had been lying in the car sunbathing, suddenly rolled over and got out of the car.

Step forward. Walk to the side of the European trap.

He picked up a furry thing with two fingers and walked away.

European Express: ...

Chen Hao: ...

Hey, say something!

Don't try to walk away so nonchalantly!

After taking only a few steps, Leng Ruolan stopped.

She turned around and called to them, "I need to make mouse clippings, come help me!"

"...Oh, here it comes!"

Viewers in the Dragon Kingdom live stream: ...

"???"

"Damn, they managed to catch that?"

"Just tell me, did you catch them or not!"

"Even experts would have to say 'Holy crap, that's awesome!'"

"Oh, you've changed your tastes, huh? Not bears or leopards anymore?"

"Hey, let's have some rat meat chips for afternoon tea!"

"Yes, you see, some people are born in Rome."

"That's right, just like some people are born like cattle or horses."

"Upstairs, we're just online friends, why are you insulting me! You've offended me!"

"All that hard work for half a day is not as good as a fleeting glance from you, the lucky one."

"Little Squirrel: Then let me ask you, there are so many birds around, why am I the one who died!?"

*

The mouse slices were made quickly.

Leng Ruolan sliced ​​the squirrel meat into thin slices with a knife before roasting it.

Add a little salt.

It's basically a simple cut mouse slice.

With tears in her eyes, Ou Yun ate two large slices, declaring that she would never set a trap again. Indeed, it's best to leave the professional stuff to the professionals.

Leng Ruolan comforted him, saying it was alright, the three of them each had their own role, Chen Hao was the scholar, and she was the warrior.

Ou Yun asked her, "Then what am I?"

Leng Ruolan smiled mysteriously, "Fate has its own arrangements."

"..."

"..."

After finishing his meal, Ou Yun went to the car to find tools to explore the surroundings.

Only Leng Ruolan and Chen Hao remained in front of the campfire.

Leng Ruolan glanced in Ou Yun's direction, "Looks like we guessed right."

"Hmm...indeed."

Chen Hao adjusted his reflective glasses.

"People like Ou Yun are probably the kind of people that God sends to reward us in novels."

Leng Ruolan gave a wicked smile. "How do you know he isn't?"

"..."
