Chapter 25
Fan Zhi’s smile became even more awkward. “She’s asked the two of us to help work for two hours.”
“You guys agreed to it?”
The two of them looked down at the birds on the ground. It went without saying.
Lin Shu sighed, “We haven’t finished our work here. The task is heavy. If you come and help us cut the bamboos, it’ll save us a lot of effort. You guys go over and talk to them, see if you can return the birds.”
Bai Shao recalled how he had fed the mosquitoes for a good half of the night when he did not accept Bai Lin’s suggestion last night. He could not help but mention, “Bai Lin is a little evil. We’d better consider it again.”
[Hahaha, is this still the Bai Shao I know? Is he also under Bai Lin’s spell?]
[It seems that Bai Shao got scared from being tricked yesterday.]
[I’d be afraid too if I were him. It seems like those who have offended her have all received their retribution in varying degrees.]
[It’s been so many years and there are still people who believe in superst.i.tions? Look at how the Jin Family provoked her just now. Aren’t they fine now?]
[It’s not that karma hasn’t hit. It’s just not the time yet. I won’t say more.]
What Bai Shao said did not have much of an effect. Lin Shu took Lin Sen and Fan Zhi to Bai Lin’s side.
Due to Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang’s supervision, Bai Shao did not have the chance to slack off and cause troubles, but he did things very poorly. Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang had cut 30-40 bamboos, which were put together into a big bundle, while Bai Shao had cut mostly small branches and the bamboos were also much fewer than Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang’s.
Bai Lin was examining the branches that Bai Shao had cut. When Lin Shu and the others came over, she did not give them any extra attention.
“What’s the matter?” Zhou Guang stood up and asked.
“The children are insensible and have done something they shouldn’t have. As an adult, I’m here to talk to Bai Lin.” Lin Shu placed the three birds in front of Bai Lin. “Xiao Lin, Fan Zhi and my son still have something to do in the afternoon. I’ll return these birds to you first.”
“No,” Bai Lin said.
Lin Shu sighed, “Don’t throw a childish tantrum.”
Bai Lin raised her eyebrows and kicked the basket beside her feet over. All kinds of birds rolled out from it.
“I don’t lack birds.” Bai Lin squinted her eyes. Her smile was a little evil. “Mr. Lin, how many points did you get today?”
Lin Shu’s gaze shifted from the birds to Bai Lin’s face. “We’re both smart people. You can just speak directly.”
“There are 28 birds here,” Bai Lin said, “That’s 280 points in total.”
She then pointed to the three pheasants near the bonfire. “One pheasant is worth 20 points. There are three here, so that’s 60 points.”
[Lin-jie is amazing! Those birds are only so big, and the arrows are primitive arrows. How did she manage to catch so many of them?!]
[It’s obvious that you only watched Yan Ruo and Zhou Guang’s livestream, right? I suggest you watch a replay of Bai Lin’s. From her techniques and posture, I suspect that she has at least five years of wilderness survival experience.]
[This is a crushing defeat.]
Bai Lin had at least 300 points, while Lin Shu’s side had only 33 points left after exchanging the points for some necessary items.
It looked like they would not be able to build a house today, and they would have to go to the supply station to stay, but they did not have enough points.
They still needed 22 points.
Yesterday, the man had even said that if they encountered such an incident again, they would take turns staying in the tent.
Lin Shu had been working in the forest today and was covered in mosquito bites. He was still in a state of shock and definitely did not want to stay in a tent.
Lin Shu’s gaze changed.
“A total of 372 points.” Lin Shu finally let go of his pride and forgot his purpose for coming here under the temptation of such high points and the fear of having to stay in a tent. “Tell me, what do you want me to do?”
Bai Lin looked at Lin Shu innocently, “Huh? Uncle Lin, I don’t understand what you mean. It’s the most irrational thing to make a deal with someone who breaks the contract for his own benefit.”
Lin Shu’s expression froze on his face and it gradually turned cold.
Bai Lin did not seem to mind. She smiled evilly. “I just want to show off the fruits of our labor.”
[Hahahaha, I’m dying of laughter. The three people over there must be furious, right?]
[My honorable Miss Lin does have a point. It was already decided, and Miss Lin didn’t particularly extort them. But now they’re going back on their word. It’s worse that it’s the adult who started this!]
[Bai Xi;s side also has a mission. Please be understanding.]
After Bai Lin had enough of admiring Lin Shu’s expression, she smiled and said, “But it’s not like we can’t discuss it.”
