"What time is it? Still not back?"

In the camp.

Everyone was getting a bit anxious.

"Looks like they didn't catch much, so they decided to fish a bit longer."

Lv Guocheng guessed, his face not looking very good.

After all, the pressure was originally on him.

Now it's on the young Chen Wen.

Although everyone admired Chen Wen's survival skills, they still saw him as a kid.

Along with his peers Zhuo Hongnian and Lu Heng.

Everyone had witnessed their performance.

Now that Chen Wen was in charge of the food, even if nobody said it out loud, they were still a bit worried inside.

Bai Yachuan sat next to Lv Guocheng, comforting him, "I'll check it out in the afternoon. With my help, we should be able to get some food."

"Let's slaughter the sheep, it can last us several days."

"Just focus on recovering from your injury, and get back on your feet when you can."

Lv Guocheng nodded solemnly.

Slaughtering the sheep signified that their food was already in short supply.

The men's group, to maintain their peak physical condition, had to ensure meat intake.

Though eating cassava wouldn't starve them, it would gradually weaken them.

Moreover, in the final scoring criteria, the men's overall weight was also a scoring standard.

Their discussion was transmitted word for word to the audience through radio equipment.

[Mr. Lv and Bai are really worried]

[If these two were there, they'd probably be shocked to death by Chen Wen's luck]

[Hehe, I can already imagine the expressions of these two when Chen Wen returns]

[Photographer, get some close-ups later, there might be some meme-worthy moments]

...

Not long after.

"Looks like they're back!"

Wang Zhi, who was looking out into the distance from the camp, suddenly said, "I see Lu Heng, he's carrying a bucket."

"Whoa!"

Wang Zhi exclaimed in shock, heading into the woods with determination.

Did something happen?!

Hearing Lu Heng's exclamation, everyone became uneasy.

Almost everyone stood up.

The smooth-sailing days from earlier had almost made everyone forget the days before Chen Wen landed on the island.

Those days, besides the food Chen Wen left behind, the men's group had almost no additional food intake.

And with two injured in the camp, everyone's spirits were low.

The small groups began forming during those days.

Under hostile conditions, everyone started only talking to those they trusted, creating a strangely tense atmosphere throughout the camp.

Is it going back to that way again?

...

Just as everyone was lost in their wild thoughts.

Chen Wen's laughter echoed through the trees, blasting into everyone's ears.

"Hahahaha, mission accomplished!"

"Everyone, come and see! A 20-pound grouper! Du Feng! Think about how we'll cook this thing!"

"Should we have pickled fish? Spicy fish?"

Hearing Chen Wen, everyone was stunned.

What?!

A 20-pound grouper?

The last time, the grouper was only about nine pounds.

But combined with other food, it took the men's group three meals to finish it!

This time it's straight up 20 pounds!

With the progressively richer food, like cassava.

How many meals can we have?

Or rather, how many days?

And hearing the two dishes Chen Wen mentioned, everyone started to salivate.

Being on the island so long, even Bai Yachuan from Guang Province felt everything was too bland and craved for some flavor.

The crowd looked over at Du Feng.

The pressure shifted to Du Feng.

He grimaced, revealing a smile uglier than crying, "Don't look at me; where would we get the seasonings for that?"

...

Chen Wen's haul had everyone shocked.

A full bucket of fish and seafood was enough of a visual impact, wasn't it?

But then they turned and saw the 20-pound grouper Chen Wen was carrying.

Lv Guocheng licked his lips with envy.

"Let me touch it! Where did you catch this?"

Lv Guocheng struggled to stand up and leaned in.

Chen Wen chuckled, showing the grouper to Lv Guocheng, "Over by the reef, the fishing there is amazing! Just cast a line and you'll get something!"

Hearing Chen Wen, Lv Guocheng gritted his teeth, "No way! I'm going in the afternoon too!"

"With fishing this good, even if I strain my back, I'll still go!"

Everyone leaned back tactically.

Whoa, is this what a seasoned fishing enthusiast is like?

After calming the excited Lv Guocheng down.

Du Feng started serving the food.

Chen Wen placed the grouper he was carrying in front of him and then took a coconut shell from Du Feng's hand.

Yan Bian looked at Chen Wen with his leg propped on the grouper and couldn't help but comment, "Chen Wen, be human. We know you caught a big fish!"

Chen Wen chuckled, nonchalantly saying, "You don't get it, Yan. This is to maintain the feel and luck."

"What if I don't do this and get nothing in the afternoon?"

Hearing Chen Wen, Yan Bian rolled his eyes.

Who would believe that?

But Lv Guocheng said seriously, "Don't say that. I think Chen's got a point!"

"When I used to fish, I'd habitually rub my thigh before baiting. If not, even if I caught something, it would be small, but if I did, there was a high chance I'd get a big one!"

Hearing this, Yan Bian was shocked, "Really that mystical?"

"Absolutely!"

Chen Wen nodded enthusiastically.

Yeah, I'm just keeping my luck intact, definitely not showing off!

After the meal.

Chen Wen and Zhang Hu discussed not continuing fishing at the reef.

They took a rest at camp before heading to the nearest southwestern beach to check it out.

Seeing the location being closer, Bai Yachuan couldn't hold back.

He decisively followed Chen Wen and the others, intending to see how Chen Wen fished.

The logistics team's leader, Gan Tieshan, didn't mind.

The logistics team's current task was simple; he could slowly work on the bed by himself.

As for the exploration team.

Wang Zhi and Zhuo Hongnian had become completely familiar with each other. After eating, the two headed to the cassava area.

Rumor has it that the two are digging up cassava in large quantities, planning to discover new uses for it.

Yan Bian was happy with the arrangement.

He set out alone with his weapon, beginning the long process of exploring the island.

...

It seemed Chen Wen's noon words came true.

Upon reaching the reef area in the southwest of the island, Chen Wen's skill and luck remained excellent.

Not that every cast yielded something, but out of five, at least three did.

That probability was extremely frightening.

Bai Yachuan watched beside him for a while before quietly turning to leave.

He knew a bit about fishing too.

But Chen Wen's kind of fishing left him speechless.

[Others fish with skill, Chen Wen fishes with life]

This statement's popularity skyrocketed in the live stream, even trending on Weibo.

Chen Wen knew nothing of this.

Even if he did, he wouldn't tell the netizens—his fishing luck was consistently good.

No choice, there's a bit of a rule with the system's terms.

This kind of fishing speed, he only saw in those edited videos from past life bloggers.

But Chen Wen didn't plan to fish like this forever.

As he fished, he continuously observed the reef area in the southwest.

The afternoon was low tide, revealing many reefs.

Upon observing, Chen Wen found a particularly interesting reef area.

The reefs in this region were triangular, with two pitch-black rocks forming two sides of the triangle.

The tip pointed out to sea.

Behind the tip was a row of pitch-black reefs.

"This place... is quite interesting."

Chen Wen put away his fishing rod, continuously surveying the reefs.

Hearing this, Bai Yachuan walked over and checked it out, but couldn't find anything special about the place.

Unable to hold back his curiosity, he asked, "What's up?"

Chen Wen took a deep breath and explained, "If we can make use of this place, we could completely achieve seafood freedom!"
