To talk about the streamers' situation, everyone was curious about what Jiang Fan, who had previously "predicted" rain, was doing at this moment.
The camera switched to Jiang Fan.
He was still calmly sheltering from the rain.
He was wearing a black windbreaker and sitting on a fallen tree trunk, holding a large banana leaf to block the rain.
As the bullet comments said.
"I clearly came to watch the streamers suffer, but with Brother Jiang so calmly watching the rain, it can only be said that knowledge determines one's treatment."
Among the hundred streamers, his treatment was quite unique.
Jiang Fan was not idle at this moment.
Taking advantage of this rain, he decided to sort out his previous gains.
A semi-transparent screen was in front of him, invisible to anyone but him.
The screen displayed his personal panel.
Those few physical data points were not very impressive.
However, the original host was just a stay-at-home streamer, so this data was considered normal.
Because he had successfully parachuted before, the system had rewarded him with talent and survival points.
He focused on the system's explanation of survival points.
[Survival points are obtained through achievements and popularity. They can be used to add points to physique, strength, speed, luck, etc., or to redeem items in the shop.]
Jiang Fan's gaze fell on this line of explanation, and his mind raced.
The system's shop was not yet unlocked and remained grayed out, intangible and out of reach, so there was no immediate urgency.
However, his body was so weak that it urgently needed improvement.
After all, after the rain stopped, whether it was starting a fire or building a shelter, it would require a lot of physical labor.
He couldn't count on that delicate female streamer.
After a brief moment of thought, Jiang Fan made his decision.
All 10 survival points would be added to strength.
As soon as he confirmed, he felt a surge of inexplicable heat filling his body.
This heat seemed to flow with his blood into every part of his body.
It was calm and painless, lasting for a short while with no other sensation.
Jiang Fan, who had been influenced by novels in his previous life, couldn't help but grumble in his heart.
"Is this system a fake...?"
But there was no one to answer him now.
The personal panel in front of him showed new changes.
[Wilderness Survival System]
Host: Jiang Fan
Physique: 30 (Weak)
Strength: 55 (Average Person)
Speed: 40 (Slow Reaction)
Luck: 50 (Mediocre)
Skills: None
Talent: None
Survival Points: 0
[Shop Entrance] (Inactive)
Achievement Unlocked: [First Parachute Jump]
With his strength increased to 55, it finally reached the level of a normal adult male.
Jiang Fan knew that he couldn't become a "big fatty" overnight and had to take it slowly.
The mist, which had seemed substantial, dissipated considerably. He seemed to sense something and said.
"The rain is stopping."
..........
The rain came and went quickly.
The rain stopped, leaving only the 'pat-pat' sound of water dripping from leaves onto other leaves.
Some trees had fallen, creating clearings, and sunlight streamed through these openings.
Enhanced by the Tyndall effect, it was as beautiful as a fairyland.
The streamers who had been complaining about the rain earlier now had no words, staring blankly at the beautiful scenery, their eyes fixed.
Zhou Niannian was also captivated by this beautiful scenery, finding a moment of peace.
She even thought that living here permanently wouldn't be bad.
Her mind was a bit dazed, but the next moment, Jiang Fan's action of throwing away the banana leaf brought her back to her senses instantly.
"Hiss—sitting for so long is quite tiring."
He said, stretching lazily.
His leisurely demeanor made Zhou Niannian recall how he had toyed with her earlier, making her grind her teeth.
But she quickly suppressed her petty anger and tried to negotiate with him as calmly as possible.
"After the rain, we don't lack water, but we can't carry it away directly. We need containers."
"And we got wet. We need to find dry firewood quickly to start a fire, to avoid catching a cold."
"Achoo!"
Zhou Niannian paused when she mentioned catching a cold and looked at the person sneezing—
Jiang Fan.
This sneeze was perfectly focused by the camera.
The two in the studio also saw this scene.
Lele felt a bit regretful.
"It seems our contestant number 66 is likely to be the first to be eliminated."
Bear Grylls next to him smiled but said nothing, clearly not optimistic.
If he really caught a cold, he could survive if he found the corresponding medicinal herbs, but few people had knowledge of herbs, so he wouldn't jump to conclusions.
In his opinion, Jiang Fan's body seemed very frail.
Even if he didn't get eliminated by a cold now, he might be eliminated for other reasons later.
Bear Grylls' reaction strongly supported Lele's words.
The bullet comments paused briefly, then erupted.
"Is this the start of a cold? No way, is my Brother Jiang going to be the first to be eliminated?"
"This is absurd. Everyone who got rained on is fine, and the only one who didn't get rained on might catch a cold. I'm starting to doubt who actually got rained on."
" Hurry up and take him away. I really don't want to watch him anymore. He's not famous and is taking up screen time, wasting it."
"No, with Brother Jiang here, Sister Zhou will be triggered. You can't take Brother Jiang away!!!"
"Cut the drama, you're blocking my view."
The bullet comments were lively, with worries, but they were only about Jiang Fan's potential elimination.
After all, the production team had shown the audience a well-equipped medical team from the beginning, ensuring the safety of the participating streamers' lives.
Jiang Fan, however, was unaware of the discussion his sneeze had caused among the audience.
He just felt his nose itching, rubbed it after sneezing, and felt nothing amiss.
Jiang Fan looked up at Zhou Niannian, his expression still a little confused.
"What's wrong? Continue."
Seeing his appearance, Zhou Niannian's expression was close to collapsing.
After the small setbacks just now, Zhou Niannian had completely understood that Jiang Fan also had some tricks up his sleeve.
Although there had been conflicts between them at first, wilderness survival required cooperation with teammates.
At this point, she could only put aside their past grievances and reluctantly cooperate with Jiang Fan.
But just as she had finally prepared herself psychologically, Jiang Fan seemed to have caught a cold???
Is she kidding me!
Zhou Niannian's expression was a bit distraught, and Jiang Fan knew what she was thinking.
With a physique of 30, survival in this place was indeed difficult. Although he wasn't sick now, if it continued, with such high humidity, someone would eventually catch a cold.
However, as long as they acted quickly, it wouldn't be a big problem.
"Since we're in a hurry, let's first gather some dry firewood to start a fire. I'll go chop some bamboo to make a container for water."
Zhou Niannian had no objections to this arrangement.
The two immediately got to work.
She found two dry pieces of wood in the grass below and couldn't help but turn to watch Jiang Fan's actions.
He glanced around at the bamboo, drew his military knife, and with a flourish, it was clear he was an experienced hand.
He selected a bamboo stalk about the size of a bowl and acted quickly.
Holding the military knife that everyone seemed to have—
He forcefully stabbed it into the bamboo stalk and then quickly pulled it out.
The proficiency of his movements made Zhou Niannian's scalp tingle.
Before she could react, she saw Jiang Fan spin and kick.
"Crack."
The tall bamboo made a crisp sound.
It fell down just like that!
