As soon as Ning Xuchen received the good news, he rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

Meanwhile, on the other side, when Ning Xiaoyu was eating her porridge with her head lowered, the leader of the tribe was beside her and was babbling something.

Ning Xiaoyu nodded while making a couple of muffled “Mm-hmm” sounds with her mouth full.

【There’s a language barrier, so how is she going to communicate?】

【So what exactly is this guy saying?】

【Finally, our salted fish queen has encountered something she doesn’t know!】

【Salted Fish Queen: What’s this? I have no way to respond.jpg】

Just when the audience was getting completely confused, Ning Xiaoyu finally responded.

She nodded and replied, “Tadanmu.”

Hearing her say that, the leader looked pleased and left with a satisfied expression.

【???】

【!!!】

【The most unexpected twist!】

【Has our salted fish queen really reached the level of understanding primitive tribal languages?!】

Seeing that Ning Xiaoyu could actually communicate with the natives, Liu Xu couldn’t help but ask, “What was that ‘something-dan’ you just said? What does it mean?”

Ning Xiaoyu finished her porridge and casually replied, “Oh, it means ‘very good’.”

Shen Yueyue immediately asked, “Xiao Yu, how do you know that?”

Ning Xiaoyu shrugged. “Earlier, when I saw them eating self-heating hotpot, a little boy kept saying ‘Tadanmu’, so I guessed he was probably praising how good the hotpot tasted.”

After all, if she ate something that tasted really good, she would also keep saying, ‘So good, this tastes amazing.’

Wait, it actually worked like this?

One question was answered, but Liu Xu had another. “Little Sister, what was that guy saying to you just now?”

Ning Xiaoyu shook her head and honestly said, “I don’t know. I figured he was asking how the porridge tasted, so I just guessed.”

And she actually guessed right?

What else could they even say at this point?

Who would have thought that the salted fish queen had such a talent for languages?

Many fans didn’t know that Ning Xiaoyu had been an outstanding student in high school, always ranking at the top. If that incident hadn’t happened, her life definitely wouldn’t have turned out this way.

But it wasn’t all negative.

Now she had become an actress, which was actually a dream for many girls in their youth.

Ning Yuwei looked down on the natives’ porridge, but Mu Jiajia, who had been nauseated from eating insects, couldn’t hold out any longer.

She and Ning Yuwei were friends, sure, but when it came to survival, what was friendship worth?

The two compressed biscuits given by the production team were long gone. As for chocolate, high-calorie food like that made people gain weight too easily. She was already the type to put on weight just by drinking water, so she didn’t dare eat chocolate casually.

After going hungry for most of the day, she felt terrible. Earlier, she had forced herself to eat some insects, but the moment she swallowed, she threw up.

Since Ning Xiaoyu and the others could eat the porridge, she should be able to as well. No matter what, eating porridge had to be better than eating disgusting insects, right? Plus, porridge had fewer calories than chocolate.

Most importantly, a tiny bit of chocolate wouldn’t even fill her up.

Thinking that, Mu Jiajia spoke softly, “Weiwei, I’m thinking of trying my luck with Ning Xiaoyu.”

Ning Yuwei smiled faintly. “Go if you want, though I wouldn’t really recommend it.”

Mu Jiajia sneered inwardly. If it weren’t for Ning Xiaoyu being there, Ning Yuwei would have already dropped her act. That nonsense about primitive humans having short lifespans and porridge being unhealthy was just an excuse.

She had been friends with Ning Yuwei for a long time, so of course she could guess her true thoughts.

Ning Yuwei simply didn’t want to admit defeat in front of Ning Xiaoyu.

Seeing Mu Jiajia about to head over for some porridge, Xi Rui immediately chimed in, “I’ll go too.”

Mu Jiajia sighed in relief. “Great, let’s go together.”

Xi Rui’s words seemed to flip some kind of switch because soon, other guests also stood up, saying they wanted to go.

In the end, the eldest among them spoke up, “Why don’t we all go take a look?” Maybe they could score some real food.

The audience quickly relayed the situation to Liu Xu.

Among Ning Xiaoyu’s group of four, only Liu Xu regularly checked the live stream comments. Lu Jingdu was out of the question, and Ning Xiaoyu hadn’t looked at the chat even once.

As for Shen Yueyue, she wanted to check the comments, but ever since arriving in the rainforest, she had been struggling with acclimatization, so she simply didn’t have the energy to care about the chat.

Liu Xu quickly informed Ning Xiaoyu.

“Everyone else is coming over to get some porridge. This…… So many people all at once— won’t there be conflicts?”

Ning Xiaoyu nodded. “That’s very possible.”

Liu Xu frowned slightly. “Then what should we do?”

A moment later, Liu Xu watched in disbelief as Ning Xiaoyu climbed onto a massive tree that required six people to encircle, then sprawled out comfortably on a branch. Her entire posture screamed, ‘I’m just here to watch the show. Do whatever you want— just don’t bother me.’

Liu Xu was dumbfounded. She had always been straightforward, so she couldn’t help blurting out, “Xiaoyu, you’re really not going to do anything?”

Ning Xiaoyu blinked. “Do what?”

She had no intention of doing anything. She just wanted to lie there and relax.

Just as Ning Xiaoyu found a comfortable position and was about to close her eyes for a nap, a love mission was suddenly issued again.

〖Girl, those people are coming in force. There’s a high chance things will turn unpleasant. While you’re avoiding the chaos, how could you forget about the movie king? Are you just going to leave him behind? At this moment, you can:

A. Tell the movie king, “Come to me, I’ll protect you.”

B. Reached out to the movie king and tell him, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

C. Tell the movie king, “Come, I’ll pull you up.”〗

Ever since the trip to the Jiangnan water town, Ning Xiaoyu felt that the love system’s issued missions had become a little strange.

She couldn’t help but ask the love system, “Did you switch my and the movie king’s roles?”

Were the lines assigned to the wrong person?

The love system responded with an innocent expression, 〖Did I, Girl?〗

Ning Xiaoyu remained expressionless. “Are you saying you didn’t?”

The love system made a sound of realization. 〖But isn’t it sweet this way?〗

Ning Xiaoyu and the love system clearly had different definitions of sweetness.

The love system couldn’t help but speak sweetly, 〖Girl, there aren’t many love missions like this anymore.〗

Ning Xiaoyu looked wary. “What do you mean?”

The love system’s voice turned dreamy, 〖It means, Girl, that the system is about to upgrade. After the upgrade, the love missions will be even sweeter and more exciting~~~〗

From that statement, Ning Xiaoyu detected a hint of mischief. Sweeter and more exciting? Hadn’t she already knocked on the movie king’s door in the middle of the night to say goodnight? That wasn’t stimulating enough?

Just how much more exciting did the love system want things to be?

The love system took on the tone of a customer service agent, 〖Girl, you’ll find out very soon.〗

Ning Xiaoyu couldn’t be bothered to think about what ‘sweeter and more exciting’ would entail. After all, she and the love system had never been on the same wavelength.

As the saying goes, ‘when the boat reaches the bridge, it will straighten itself^[1]everything will be alright.’

Thinking too much was pointless.

She glanced at the three options again and chose the one that seemed the most normal.

Looking at Lu Jingdu under the tree, she said, “Come, I’ll pull you up.”

Lu Jingdu raised an eyebrow, clearly a little surprised.

He was stunned for two seconds before responding, “Alright.”

After Ning Xiaoyu pulled Lu Jingdu up the tree, Shen Yueyue also expressed a desire to climb up.

However, while the tree was large, after accommodating two adults, there was no more space. Ning Xiaoyu wanted to switch Lu Jingdu out, but the love system obviously wouldn’t allow it. It kept shrieking in her ear.

〖Love System: How can a love story accommodate a third person?〗

Lu Jingdu, noticing Ning Xiaoyu’s expression, took the initiative to ask, “How about I switch with her?”

Ning Xiaoyu really wanted to say yes!

But before she could even open her mouth, the love system had already anticipated her move and immediately issued the second love mission of the day.

〖Girl, even though the movie king asked, deep down, he definitely doesn’t want to be left behind.

After all, in his short twenty-something years of life, too many people have abandoned him.

First his father, then his mother. Even his so-called relatives were nothing but wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Can you bear to be another person who abandons him? At this moment, you can:

A: Tell the movie king, “Don’t overthink it, there’s no need.”

B: Tell the movie king, “The spot beside me is only for you, and can only be for you.”

C: Tell the movie king, “Man, I want you to stay put.”〗

Ning Xiaoyu, with a deadpan expression, couldn’t help but inwardly complain, “Help! This is way too cringy! What kind of oil barrel of a person came up with this nonsense?!”

〖Love System: ……〗

Was it really that cringy?

Wasn’t it just sweet?

The love system started doubting itself.

Ning Xiaoyu hesitated between facing punishment and choosing an option.

But for the sake of the system’s potential ability to wake her father from his coma, she decided to endure it.

At the last moment before the countdown ended, she reluctantly chose option a.

As for option b and c? Those were so ridiculously over-the-top and corny CEO talk, and they made her cringe.

Only option a seemed somewhat normal.

Ning Xiaoyu said, “Don’t overthink it, there’s no need.”

【’Don’t overthink it?’ This sounds a bit like a scumbag line.】

【The deadpan Salted Fish Queen saying this? I can’t stop laughing.】

【Salted Fish Queen: Forced to act.jpg】

After speaking, Ning Xiaoyu turned around decisively and used both hands to quickly climb down the tree. Within moments, she had returned to the ground.

After getting down, she pulled out the insect and snake repellent powder given to her by the leader of the tribe, sprayed it around, and then lay down on the ground with hands folded over her abdomen in a peaceful ascension pose.

Mentally exhausted after doing two love missions in a row.jpg

The audience in the livestream who once again witnessed the salted fish queen’s antics: 【Hahahaha.】

The love system that was once again shocked by its host’s tactics: 〖……〗

The love system looked utterly defeated.

Could she really do this? Was this even possible?!

It had considered all kinds of scenarios but still lost to its host in the end!

The movie king didn’t have to leave, but its host did!

The sweetness had completely changed flavor!

No, this won’t do! The system must be upgraded immediately!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Ning Xuchen finally rushed to the hospital and saw Ning Zhen, who had finally woken up.
