Chu Yan, who was splitting off from the rest, was ecstatically happy while the superiors were fighting each other.

He dragged Qiao Zhiya to a relatively flat and open place. He looked back, saw that there were no other people in sight, stopped and put his arm on Qiao Zhiya’s shoulder. He directly lifted his hat, began to blame others mercilessly, saying, “Why are you wearing a hat all the time? Isn’t it too hot? Well,it’s just the two of us now, they won’t laugh at your ears. Let’s go treasure hunting now.” 

Qiao Zhiya was caught off-guard by Chu Yan taking off his hat. His ears subconsciously trembled, while he tidied up his messed-up hair. With a smile, he said, “Well, let’s go treasure hunting.”

In fact, the past two days have not been easy for him. Now, finally only he and Chu Yan were alone, he could have fun in the forest without any scruples.

The viewers who were arguing about the team formation result all fell silent when they saw this scene, and then…

Audience: …

Audience: ???

Audiences: !!!

[Can anyone tell me what that pointy thing is? What is it??]

[Why did no one say that this Native boy’s ears are like this before! It’s this, this, this… looks like this! And his platinum-blond hair that seemed to be glowing in the sun! Oh my God! Do all Natives look like this? Are they all so illogically beautiful yet low-key?]

The supervisors: “…”

‘Damn Chu Yan, he took advantage of everyone’s departure, and blamed others for discriminating against the special appearance of the Native! So bad!’

Chu Rong looked at Qiao Zhiya’s liberated ears, then glanced at the audience’s comments that exploded like a blowout. He frowned, and began to knock on the armrest of the chair again. ‘Tch. It’s better to be hidden by a hat.’ 

After freeing his ears, Qiao Zhiya took out water and washed his hair casually — he had been running around wearing a hat, and he was sweating a lot.

After his hair got wet, his ears became more obvious. The audience stared at the Exoplanet Native boy who was squatting in the forest with wet hair. He was drinking water with his head up, while the tail of his eyes were a bit red. 

[This face looks even better up close! Especially those emerald green pupils, his fluttering eyelashes… the trembling makes people’s hearts melt! And that skin – so white, tender and delicate! I’m so jealous!]

[It’s too foul, this look is really too foul!]

Chu Yan waited for him to finish drinking water. He took out a towel and threw it over, looked through the supplies except the mecha, frowned and said, “Why did they give this thing, I thought they  would give us enough nutrient solutions for five days.”

“It’s okay, I’ll find something to eat for you,” Qiao Zhiya put away the kettle and ran over with a towel. He picked up the treasure map, looked at it, and asked, “I understand the concept of treasure hunting. But what does it mean to climb the ‘peak of civilization’ mentioned in the mission?” 

When reminded by him, Chu Yan also remembered this. He took the treasure map and turned it over, found a line of words in the corner, and read it out loud: “This treasure map is not complete, please find the clues by yourself. “

“…”

Isn’t this nonsense?

“I bet this task must be done by the Xiang family! That family has a lot of twists and turns!” Chu Yan didn’t care whether he was broadcasting live or not, he didn’t hide his dislike for the Xiang family at all. He put down the treasure map with a frown and continued, “So this map is incomplete, specifically around the valley area. The mission itself is so vague, what should we do next? Just follow the treasure map to find the treasure?” 

Qiao Zhiya leaned over to look at the treasure map carefully, and started to speculate, “Climbing to the peak of civilization… Before we set off, they said that this is a valley. Does this mean that we should go to a high place? On top of a mountain? The peak of civilization… Since it is a civilization, could it be a place for more supplies? Maybe even… the detailed and completed map?” 

The more he speculated, the faster he spoke. He looked at Chu Yan with wide eyes, full of expectation, begging for approval.

The audience was itching and howling desperately, this shit made it difficult for people to watch the live broadcast! He was too cute!

The supervisors, especially Xiang Lingyun, almost died of shock after hearing Qiao Zhiya’s guess. Basically, his guess was spot-on. 

It’s so irritating! The juniors of their families were still discussing having lunch after forming a team, planning to discuss the treasure map during lunch; but the two juniors of the Chu family had already analyzed the mission intention first, so smart that it made people itch!

Chu Rong endured their envious and jealous eyes, but he was not happy at all. He just stared coldly at the piles of begging comments on the No. 9 screen, his eyes even deepening. 

After hearing Qiao Zhiya’s guess, Chu Yan thought about it. He hurriedly got together with him to study the treasure map carefully, and finally found a climbing road hidden among the many lines on the treasure map.

“To the west, it’s a bit far from our current location.”

Qiao Zhiya nimbly climbed up the tree, took advantage of the dwarf’s eyesight to find an obvious landmark, and figured out the general direction of the route. He then picked a fruit from the branch, jumped off the tree and threw it to Chu Yan, saying, “Let’s have lunch first before going.” 

“Okay, I’ll take you flying with my mecha!” Chu Yan caught the fruit, wiped it on his body casually, took a bite, and took a nutritional supplement.

The decision of the two was crisp and neat. Compared with the dull atmosphere where the other two groups were still eating and arguing about the meaning of the treasure map, they looked relaxed, as if this was just a casual picnic. Naturally, the audiences’ interest was on them. 

After the results of the previous groupings came out, many viewers worried that Qiao Zhiya would hold them back, causing the two-person team to be eliminated early. Now, seeing the situation, they immediately changed their thoughts. They praised the two juniors for their smartness and perfect cooperation. They were the best partners.

This praises, of course, suffocated the supervisors group sans Chu Rong. 

After a simple lunch, Chu Yan took out his mecha and was about to set off, only to discover another “hidden surprise”. 

“They only left half of the energy in the mecha! Fuck, this is only enough for 4 hours of flight,” Chu Yan leaned out of the cockpit, roared angrily, and once again maliciously guessed that this bad idea must have been thought up by the Xiang family.

Qiao Zhiya, who was standing below, frowned at that. He raised his head and replied, “Then you put away the mecha, and we will walk to get there. We will stay here for five days. Before we get the supplies, we need to save some energy.”

“That’s the only way,” Chu Yan responded, retreated back and turned off the mecha. He then jumped out of the cockpit to put it away, waved and said, “Let’s go! Work hard for the treasure hunt!” 

Qiao Zhiya nodded, and the two looked at each other, before running into the forest in perfect sync. 

Qiao Zhiya has the racial buff and home court advantage, while Chu Yan has the accumulation of blood and tears of Chu Rong’s training sessions. When they ran at full speed together, the camera equipment almost didn’t react and lost them. After catching up, it could only record the rapidly receding forest scene, like a blur of green speed lines. 

The audience expressed that their eyes were going to be blinded with green. 

[These two are fucking amazing. Not only they’re smart, their physiques are also top-notch!!] 

On the other two sides, Xiang Jing took the lead in carefully discovering the hidden meaning of the mission. According to the map put together by the two families, she chose a shorter south mountain climbing route among the two mountain climbing routes. Ning Konghua also discovered the mystery of the mission under the “accidental” reminder of Ning Kongran. After combining the map with You Xia, he chose a mountain climbing route in the north.

When the two teams were finally about to set off, Qiao Zhiya and Chu Yan had efficiently reached the foot of the northern mountain, and they were going to climb the mountain after a short rest.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was a bit dull, and the expressions of the other supervisors were not good-looking. The performance of Chu Yan’s two-person team was so impressive that it completely surpassed the other two teams.

But it doesn’t matter, those seemingly fair treasure maps and routes actually hide some intrigues.

Thinking of this, they took a look at Chu Yan, who had always been indifferent, and felt relieved.

So what if they were ahead temporarily? The treasure hunt was the most important part. The other two teams have two climbing routes and could get two supplies. The Chu family only had one, so they wouldn’t have an advantage in resources.

Thinking of this, Wei Xiongchang looked at Long Baorou, who had been silent all along, with meaningful eyes – this little girl of the President’s family also had her own thoughts.

The treasure map in You Xia’s hand points to the east. If You Xia and Chu Yan form a team, one of them would be in the east and the other in the west. The distance was too far and it would be too troublesome to go back and forth. Simply put, despite being in a team, they still would be separated.

Long Baorou’s attitude towards the Chu family has always been very strange; she looked like she’s biased towards Chu Rong, yet also seemed to be very afraid of him. This made people uncertain. But now, it seems that Long Baorou’s attitude was more inclined to be afraid of Chu Rong. The climbing route arrangement was the best proof.

Long Baorou pretended not to return Wei Xiongchang’s gaze. She lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea, glanced at Chu Rong beside her from the corner of her eye, and her lips curled into a smile.
