Cannon Fodder Cheating System

Danny put down his hands, lifting his head: "Mo, mouth, really hurts."

Jing Yang froze, Jake was shocked, Danny's lips were swollen like two hot dogs, and his face was still covered with mucus and saliva, even the people watching on Star Network through the screen all froze.

"What did you eat?" Jing Yang asked.

"Sea, sea..." Danny was already hurting to the point of not being able to speak, he picked up the shell of the sea jelly from the water and showed them. Just now he had seen Jing Yang and Jake eating this, he also just happened to pick up one, he was curious about what it tasted like, so he opened it and ate it.

Jing Yang picked up the shell of the sea jelly and pointed it at the flying camera in the air, saying seriously: "It's best not to randomly eat sea jelly that has not been properly dealt with, the yellow parts inside are poisonous, they definitely need to be removed before eating. As long as the yellow parts has infiltrated into the white parts even a little bit, you can't eat it, otherwise you will become like him." The camera immediately turned to point at Danny's mouth.

Quite a few netizens all started laughing, Jing Yang's serious explanation, Jake's shocked face, and then the two hot dogs on Danny's face, this scene was really too comical.

"Hahahaha..." Nia laughed while hammering the sofa, without a bit of the appearance of a virtuous lady. If her etiquette teacher had seen her, they would definitely have been tempted to take some noodles and hang themselves.

The Bowie who always showed a cold expression also couldn't resist revealing a smile, he didn't feel like Danny's hot dog mouth was amusing, but rather felt that Jing Yang's deadpan appearance was too cute.

Jing Yang gave the lobsters and clam meat to Jake to deal with, he again entered the forest. Tonight the organizers would be giving them a "big trick," he needed to reinforce his roof in order to sleep well tonight.

Besides getting some tree bark that seemed like rubber, he also picked some kinds of herbal medicine to go back, and then placed them into the coconut shell to hammer them into pieces. Then he brought them to Danny: "Spread it on, tomorrow your swelling will be reduced, otherwise if you wait until tomorrow, your mouth will be rotten."

Danny took it with hesitation, he used his eyes to ask him, would this really be useful?

Jing Yang also didn't really say anything, he turned around to go busy himself, whether or not he used it was his own matter.

Danny used his finger to take some and smear it on his mouth, the refreshing feeling seemed to have lessened his pain, he immediately smeared the rest of the juice on his mouth. The green hot dog mouth seemed even more hilarious.

After he finished preparing the materials needed for his crafts, Jing Yang said to Jake, "Pick what you want to use."

"Thanks." Jake looked at the shells that had been polished into different shapes, as well as the conches that had already been cleaned, he felt that they were all very pretty. He had originally just planned on making a small bracelet, just stringing together a bunch of these would already be very pretty.

"You don't want the pearls or sea crystals? I've already chosen the ones I need, these are all extras." Jing Yang saw that he only picked some shells and conches, and then pushed the pearls and sea shells toward him a bit.

Jake felt bad about taking his sea crystals, because he had not even found a single one. He saw that the number of small white pearls left was still quite large, so he took a few.

Jing Yang started preparing dinner, Jake crouched at one side hugging his legs. For evaluating and reviewing food he is quite proficient, but not very good at making it himself. His home has many cooking high tech products, normally he only needed to put in the ingredients and select the recipe, and then he would be able to eat delicious food. But now there was not even a single high tech product, even the most basic portioning and fire management would all be done by himself, he really didn't know how to start.

Jake didn't know what Jing Yang was putting into the soup, the fragrance wafted out, he was unable to control his saliva from continually overflowing.

The other people who had been busying themselves in the ocean for a day had just returned when they smelled the fragrance from the food, but they could only see it and couldn't eat. Each one forcefully raised their spirits to run into the forest, they wanted to fill up their stomachs before coming back, otherwise that fragrance was really too tormenting.

"Delicious! Too delicious!" Jake bit the lobster meat, his occupational disease took over, he faced the camera and ate while introducing: "This lobster meat is very tender, it was roasted to perfection, not even a bit tough, the blending and proportions of ingredients are also particularly delicious..."

Jake had a large number of fans. This was because of his devotion to food, he would never falsely recommend some bad-tasting food for money. Plus he was very good at describing the flavor of the food, if it was delicious it was delicious, if it didn't taste good then it didn't taste good. Through his recommendations, his fans were able to accurately determine where they could go to eat delicious food and avoid some bad-tasting food. He had never made a misjudgment.

So he especially needed money, because his expenses were very high, the delicious things were always especially expensive. Jake felt that being in a team with Jing Yang, was really the best decision that he had made in his life. In order to still be able to eat such delicious food after the end of the competition, he would definitely need to cultivate a good relationship with him, and follow all of his advice.

To be honest Jing Yang really didn't think of using food to conquer anyone, but as long as the situation permitted, he wouldn't want to treat his own mouth and stomach badly. And along the way, you could torture those people who weren't able to make delicious food once they left their high tech devices.

Random Notes:

1.5 hours: 3:30 pm - 5 pm, for 4.4k characters to 3.1k words. Not bad actually, I think for the past arcs I also took about 1.5 hours. Also I recently spent about 1.5 hours translating 3.4k characters for 100kV, so this speed is actually quite good. I think most of the words here are quite simple, so I was able to just directly translate from the raws instead of having to always keep putting phrases into MDBG. Though of course an abundant amount of MDBG was still used.
