The first group made their selections successfully; Gu Zhoubai will now make his selection for the second group.

He had already discussed it with his team members and they chose a foam boat.

Zhou Lehui from the third group flashed his little tiger teeth: "Then we won't be polite either, we'll choose the foam boat!"

The fourth through seventh groups all chose paper boats, and sure enough, the wooden boats were left for the eighth group.

When the workers carried the logs onto the field, everyone sensed that this project must be very strenuous, and it would be quite a joke if it wasn't finished by nightfall.

Xu Yanqing tied his long hair back with a rubber band. He looked at Xie Xingyan's group of four. They probably wouldn't even be able to lift such a thick tree trunk... Holy crap?!

Not far away, Jiangxi Heng lifted a tree trunk that was three meters long and two centimeters in diameter by himself.

That wasn't enough; he tucked one between his arm and side waist, and carried another on his other shoulder with effortless ease.

Jiangxi Heng carried the wood and moved the materials to the shore. After the hull was completed, it would be even heavier and would be difficult to move on the shore. Therefore, the construction site needed to be moved to the shore so that it could be launched into the water.

He turned around and saw countless people staring at him in disbelief. He dusted off his hands and asked in confusion, "The competition hasn't started yet?"

Shi Zhongyu was the first to recover: "It's already started! Everyone, get moving!"

Jiangxi Heng returned to the group and asked, "We're moving everything over there to make the machines. Do you know how to operate them?"

The three little ones were still a bit stunned, and shook their heads blankly.

Jiangxi Heng looked at them and smiled: "Then don't touch these machines, just leave them to me."

Xie Xingyan's gaze fell on Jiangxi Heng's arm. He knew that Jiangxi Heng trained very intensely at the gym every day. He had tried to keep up with him before, but later found that the intensity was getting higher and higher, and he couldn't keep up.

The physique hidden beneath the windbreaker possesses strength several times greater than that of an adult.

Strangely, this person doesn't look bulky or fleshy at all when dressed; the direction of his muscles is so well controlled.

Hearing what Jiangxi Heng said, the three obediently nodded and began to huff and puff as they moved the wood.

To show that they were no slouch either, the three of them carried a log on each shoulder, making two logs per trip, which made the viewers laugh.

[Jiangxi Heng is incredibly strong! He's as strong as three people! He'd be perfect for farming!]

[The key is that he doesn't get red in the face or out of breath while working, and his neck isn't thick; he must have been maintaining a fitness routine for many years.]

[Xingbao, hurry up! Jiangxi Heng has caught up with you!]

Every time Jiangxi Heng passed by Xie Xingyan and his two companions while carrying wood, he would turn his head to look at them, panting heavily, and casually remark, "They still need to practice."

Once is fine, but twice, three times, four times...

Chi Ziyou started yelling and shouting at the camera, "This person is humiliating us! Humiliating us!"

Fang Weiyang's expression showed that she was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth, perfectly showcasing the variety show's entertainment value.

Xie Xingyan put down the wood. Not far away, a man was carrying the last load of wood and was slowly walking towards them.

As he watched, he suddenly burst out laughing.

The two people standing to the side, still pretending to be angry: ? ? ?

"Captain, are you laughing in anger?"

Xie Xingyan swung his arms, a smile spreading across his face: "We still need to practice. Half of the wood here was moved by Jiangxi Heng."

Chi Ziyou/Fang Weiyang, who have already tried their best: QAQ

After the timber was moved, the construction of the wooden boat officially began.

The other groups are already working hard, while their team's progress is practically zero.

The live chat was flooded with some unpleasant comments, such as: "Are they starting to slack off?", "Looks like they're ready to give up?", "Everyone else is busy, is this group just playing around?"

Live video and edited video are quite different.

Because of the upgrading of live streaming equipment, it is now possible to fit several live streaming shots onto one large screen, so viewers entering the live streaming room can freely choose one of the shots according to their preferences.

The camera zooms in, and the sound follows.

The buzzing sound of cutting wood could be heard, and in the video, Jiangxi Heng's movements were skillful and efficient, as if he had been working as a mechanical carpenter for several years.

Chi Ziyou and the audience thought in unison: "Heng-ge, how did you know this?"

With his feet planted on the wood and his hands moving constantly, Jiangxi Heng said, "When we were filming before, the crew would hire people to make props. Once, just before filming was about to start, we were short of a prop. A carpenter immediately took his equipment and made one by hand. I was curious, so I learned a few tricks from him in private..."

This didn't happen to the original owner of the body, but to him.

When he first returned to China, he had no connections or background, so he had to start from the bottom as an actor. He learned and practiced everything, and because of his perfectionist nature, he never forgot or fell behind in what he learned.

He said he wasn't afraid of netizens digging into his past.

This era of internet traffic began two years ago. Before that, it was not always possible to find all the detailed information about the entertainment industry.

Chi Ziyou and the other two were unaware of this matter.

Fang Weiyang looked at Jiangxi Heng seriously, feeling that the boy on the big screen whom she knew in her childhood was completely different from what she had imagined, and also different from what the outside world had speculated.

The buzzing stopped. After moving the wood and painstakingly cutting it, he now had to use mortise and tenon joints to assemble it. He hammered the mortise and tenon joints together, and even with Jiangxi Heng's constitution being improved by the magical pills, he was still sweating profusely.

He stopped, his hand holding the hammer, wearing rough white gloves.

"Didn't you two want to give it a try? Here you go."

The heavy lifting was handed over to Chi Ziyou and Fang Weiyang, who were eager to try it out and immediately rolled up their sleeves and got to work.

Xie Xingyan held up a thermos and three paper cups: "I asked the cafeteria lady to make ginger tea. It's windy by the river, so drink some to prevent catching a cold."

Chi Ziyou: "Wow, Captain, you've thought of everything! I was thirsty."

Jiangxi Heng also took a cup and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing Xie Xingyan forcefully pour the remaining cup into Fang Weiyang's mouth, who didn't like the taste of ginger tea.

Fang Weiyang frowned and said, "Ptooey, ptooey, so spicy."

Chi Ziyou laughed loudly from the side: "You look so ugly like this, Fang Weiyang."

Fang Weiyang picked up a hammer and was about to hit Chi Ziyou when the two of them started playfully fighting while they were working.

Jiangxi Heng: "..." He felt that the wrinkles in his brain were almost smoothed out by these two.

He sighed, picked up another hammer, and continued working on his own.

Xie Xingyan squatted down beside her and asked in detail, "I'll help you. You mean to put these in?" Xie Xingyan, who knew nothing about "handicrafts," asked very carefully.

Jiangxi Heng explained it to him in a low voice, and also made sure to explain the theory of wooden boats and mortise and tenon joints clearly.

Xie Xingyan benefited greatly from this, and he looked at Jiangxi Heng, who had gone to the other end: "You know a lot."

Jiangxi Heng was whittling the splinters off the edge of the wood to prevent someone from accidentally getting pricked.

Upon hearing this, he raised his eyes, only to see the top of Xie Xingyan's head, which he had left while Xie Xingyan was working diligently.

Jiangxi Heng smiled and said, "Now you understand."

Xie Xingyan paused, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

I forgot to mention the official pairing: Jiang (the seme) is the gong (top), Xie (the uke) is the shou (bottom). The shou becomes enlightened first, while the gong becomes enlightened much later.
