Chapter 669: Chapter 12: The Cannon Fodder Starlet Who Gives Up on Struggling (Part 12)

Leisurely enjoying a lunch, Jiang Lai didn’t rush to issue tasks after the meal. He returned to the attic, spread out the newly bought blanket and quilt, hung up a mosquito net, and turned on the electric fan.

In this hot season, there’s nothing more comfortable than taking a nap with a fan blowing after a full meal.

When Jiang Qu returned from outside, he noticed Jiang Lai was asleep and quietly waited downstairs.

It wasn’t until 2:30 in the afternoon, when the sun was at its peak, that the director group began to announce the next task.

"Everyone’s eaten and rested well, so let’s do some activities to aid digestion."

Except for Jiang Lai, the others were yawning constantly.

Especially Lu Huan, who was leaning against Lu Ming, lazily complaining.

"Director, be human; the sun is so strong outside, we are just young girls, don’t care about our image anymore."

The director chuckled, not minding Lu Huan’s words at all.

"After all, this is a survival-themed show. Staying indoors all the time wouldn’t be survival, so please take the upcoming tasks seriously, as it’s important for your survival in the coming days."

Lu Huan yawned.

"Anyway, the rewards have nothing to do with us, I’m conceding immediately."

The director was aware of their deal with Jiang Lai, no matter what, the next game’s rewards belonged to Jiang Lai.

"Think carefully; winning comes with rewards, losing also brings punishment. Are you sure you want to concede now?"

Punishment?

This director really went big, the punishment isn’t something an average person could handle.

"Forget it, forget it, let’s just do it, anyway, I have my Lu Ming."

Lu Ming stood in front of Lu Huan, already a head taller, appearing reliable and steady.

"Alright then, everyone get ready, we’re setting off now."

Han Li looked at the blazing sun outside and couldn’t help but ask.

"Where are we going?"

"You’ll know when you arrive."

The guests were staying behind a mountaintop farm, and as they walked to the farm, there were finally more people around.

At a glance, on the verdant grass, a group of sheep were grazing, from a distance, looking like clusters of cotton dropped on the ground.

Though the sun was glaring, fortunately, there was a breeze, and it wasn’t unbearably hot.

Those with sharp eyes had already noticed something unusual among the sheep, and Han Lu pointed to a not-so-distant sheep.

"Look, that sheep has something red on its head."

Everyone looked over and indeed, among the entire flock scattered around, you could see a few sheep with red paint on their heads, quite conspicuous on close look.

"Alright, since everyone noticed, I’ll explain the rules directly.

We will play a game on this beautiful field next.

Ahead of you is a flock of sheep bred for wool, and now that the weather is hot, your task today is to help the farmers shear the sheep.

After shearing, Uncle Zhao here will score you, and we’ll rank according to the scores.

Alright, task time: two hours, start now."

After the director finished, everyone fell silent.

Looking at the sturdy sheep in the distance, Jiang Lai took a deep breath.

Thankfully, it’s not too bad.

She had done this work in Beast World; after all, wool has many uses, and she had bred new sheep in Beast World early on.

Those sheep were far more ferocious than these little cuties before her.

The sharp horns of those could rival blades, a casual hit could easily gut a person.

They were quite temperamental, but their meat was delicious, so Jiang Lai had slaughtered many.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lai was already eager to start.

Beside him, Jiang Qu looked at Jiang Lai, such a petite woman, at 1.75 meters, he felt he could lift her with one hand.

Even if she could drive, she surely couldn’t catch sheep, right?

Though he didn’t like her, considering she bandaged his wound and made him bread this morning, Jiang Qu decided to perform well.

At this point, Qu Yongwei, from another group, had already led her sister into the field.

Seeing this, Han Li, worried about falling behind and facing punishment, hurried to start catching sheep.

Seeing most people leave, Lu Ming smiled.

"Uncle, could you demonstrate how to shear sheep?"

Not in a hurry, Lu Ming directly asked the uncle next to him. As the owner of the farm, no one was more familiar with these sheep than him.

Facing the camera, the uncle looked a bit bashful.

Seeing this, Lu Huan stepped forward and blurted out.

"You don’t look old at all, I’ll just call you big brother, how many years have you been raising sheep?"

"Over ten years."

"Wow, that’s amazing, could you demonstrate how to catch a sheep?"

The uncle nodded cheerfully.

"Alright."

Lu Huan laughed, urging Lu Ming to hurry up, the siblings surrounded the uncle, not giving anyone else a chance to get close.

[Huanhuan is really a clever little fox!]

[With the uncle’s help, catching sheep is a piece of cake!]

[Hahaha, with these two siblings, how can anyone else win, their brains are too sharp]

[Go Little Deer!]

Seeing the uncle taken away by the Lu siblings, Jiang Qu felt a tinge of regret.

He intended to ask for help too, but Lu Ming beat him to it.

Forget it, just watch them and learn how to catch sheep.

Remembering the no-talking rule, Jiang Qu turned and signaled Jiang Lai with his eyes to follow.

But instead of looking, she walked towards the sheep from another direction.

Forget it, the game was up to him, let Jiang Lai do her thing.

Thinking this, Jiang Qu followed behind Lu Ming.

The sheep, instead of running from strangers, gathered around the uncle.

Seeing this, Lu Huan immediately pointed to a sheep with paint.

"Big brother, let’s catch that one, it looks easier."

The uncle didn’t think too much and reached forward, grabbing the sheep’s horns securely.

In his hands, the sheep was docile and stayed still.

Seeing this, Lu Ming stepped up and said.

"Uncle, let me try."

"Alright, be careful not to get rammed."

"We won’t."

After saying this, Lu Ming replaced the uncle, holding the sheep’s horns.

At this point, Lu Huan laughed and commented.

"The sheep is caught, quickly, take it for shearing!"

[Smart, smart! Two big smarties!]

[As expected, when clever people do things, it goes smoothly, let alone two clever people]

[Hahaha, someone over there just got rammed by a sheep, how tragic!]

With the sheep caught, Lu Ming thanked the uncle and led the sheep towards the shearing area.

Other groups hadn’t even touched a sheep, yet this group already had one caught.

Seeing this, Jiang Qu decided to go up and ask the uncle for help.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ming turned and said.

"Thanks, uncle, for demonstrating, we got it! We can handle the rest!"
