71: First top-tier title obtained

Reba was naturally aware of the changes in the income of the other guest teams, but unfortunately, Gao Xiaofan had already left, and she had no one to discuss it with.

Looking at the people in the room eating grilled fish and drinking fish soup, Reba cleared her throat.

"Um, everyone, you don't need to come tomorrow. There's no more fish at home~"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Hua Hua swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth: "Reba, why is there no more fish? Where's Xiaofan?"

Han Han curled his lips: "It couldn't be a price increase, right? If the price goes up, I'm definitely going back there to eat."

Reba smiled: "There really is no more fish at home. Tomorrow, I'll have to go over there to eat too."

Everyone fell silent after hearing this. Although it was a pity, compared to the amount of money they had earned today, this had become a minor matter.

Reba whispered to Mi Mi on the side.

"Reba, this is fine too. Instead of being busy making grilled fish, why not join us tomorrow and recruit staff to work?"

"Sister Mimi, how does this recruitment work?"

"Weren't there stylists and prop masters following us at the beginning? They are the ones to be recruited. As for the specific recruitment price, you'll have to negotiate with them."

Reba nodded thoughtfully. She would give it a try tomorrow. Gao Xiaofan was gone, and the remaining money was 100 yuan. Although it could last for a few days, staying idle at home was a waste; she might as well go earn some money.

After everyone had left, Reba began cleaning up the leftovers. Once she was done, the interactive pad was delivered, and she was told that she didn't need to return it anymore; it would stay with them for interaction.

Reba wiped the water off her hands, opened the pad, and quickly switched to Gao Xiaofan's livestream room.

The first thing she saw was a sleeping figure. Looking at the popularity again, Reba gasped—over 50 million.

50 million people are watching this man sleep?

The 50 million people in the livestream were chatting and bragging about anything and everything; it was incredibly lively.

"Brother Wo Zi said he can definitely return tomorrow."

"LMAO, what else can he do if he doesn't return? Even the cameraman has to eat the guests' steamed buns~"

"After one more breakfast tomorrow, the rations will be gone~"

Reba looked at the messages with concern. No more food?

The other guests also found out that Gao Xiaofan had actually run off to trek through the mountains~

Is this something a normal person would do~

With money in hand, the guests were also frantically exchanging it for supplies, with 'Fat Otaku Happy Water' being the most popular item.

Early the next morning, everyone had gotten used to the wake-up time and walked towards the canteen while yawning.

After several people paid, Cooking Auntie was so happy she couldn't stop smiling.

Liu Yunning looked at the group and chuckled.

He had already learned this news from the bullet comments last night, so he rushed over early this morning just to find an opportunity to mock them.

"Ugh, this congee isn't as good as the fish soup." Hua Hua took a sip of congee and mechanically chewed on a steamed bun.

"Yeah, I don't know how Liu Yunning managed to keep eating this stuff for so long~" Han Han took two sips and simply stopped eating.

Liu Yunning: ???

How did I get dragged into this? I watched you guys eat grilled fish and drink fish soup every day; the amount of saliva I secreted could have made a whole pot of soup!

"Indeed, Liu Yunning, the fish at Xiaofan's... tsk tsk, it's really good, *slurp*~"

Cheng Seventeen also chimed in.

Liu Yunning's face darkened.

He decided not to say anything. If he said they had run back because they had no food, there was a high probability they would all mock him together.

At least they had eaten good things for two days. What about him? Gao Xiaofan, you really deserve to die~

Meanwhile, Gao Xiaofan had already resumed his mountain-crossing journey.

Having gone to bed early last night, he got up as soon as it was light this morning. It wasn't hot yet, so climbing was more comfortable.

Hearing the sound of water getting closer, Gao Xiaofan couldn't help but feel excited.

The An River should be enough. If I keep looking for the source, I might slowly trace it back to the sea.

Qiu Gu looked at the energetic Gao Xiaofan ahead and followed behind with a miserable face... Half an hour later, Gao Xiaofan stood at the top of the mountain, looking excitedly at the rushing An River at the foot of the mountain while listening to the notification in his mind.

"Task Three completed. The reward title 'Never Resting' has been issued. Do you wish to equip it?"

"Do not equip."

His current title was 'Creating Hype,' which gave a +100% boost to livestream effects. The proficiency of the 'Never Resting' title was still at 0, so he could equip it next time he went fishing.

Carrying the camera, Qiu Gu also realized that this should be Gao Xiaofan's final destination. He kept capturing different angles, preparing to get a series of close-ups of Gao Xiaofan.

In the video, Gao Xiaofan stood on the mountain peak with his backpack, gazing at the An River below.

But before he could film for long, he saw Gao Xiaofan turn around and start walking back.

This time, Qiu Gu couldn't hold back. Having a bad premonition, he quickly asked,

"Xiaofan, where are you going?"

However, the Program Production Crew didn't blame him, and no one in the bullet comments criticized him because everyone was curious.

Gao Xiaofan had reached his goal for coming here, so why wasn't he doing anything now?

"Going back~ Do you have any food left on you? If we don't go back when there's no food, we'll starve to death."

Qiu Gu looked dazed; it seemed that was the case.

Then, the two of them walked back the way they had come.

Gao Xiaofan sighed inwardly. Once he guessed that the water source came from the An River, he figured there was a high probability that no fishing tasks would appear. Even if one did, he wouldn't dare!

The way back was particularly smooth. Coming here, they had to constantly find places to step, but going back, they just needed to follow their original path, so the speed was very fast.

When they reached a slightly flatter area, Gao Xiaofan took out a cigarette and lit it, feeling in a good mood.

The staff in the backstage felt their vision go dark. Damn it, they had to apply real-time censorship again~

"Hmm, why go back? Because it's the An River, Brothers. Fishing is prohibited."

"Can't go back so soon? Brothers, there's no choice~ I have a dead weight with me~"

Hearing Gao Xiaofan's words, Qiu Gu's face darkened. After all that, you're dragging me into it again, aren't you?

I only ate five of your steamed buns; is that really necessary~

By the time Gao Xiaofan returned to the large body of water between the two mountains, it was already noon.

Looking at that mountain, both of their calves couldn't help but tremble.

And the bullet comments in the livestream room continued.

Intentional Punch: "With such a large body of water, aren't you tempted, Brother Wo Zi?"

Strong Hand Cracks Skull: "It's painful not watching Brother Wo Zi fish for a day~"

Online ID: "I've watched Brother Fan come back empty-handed for three years; I'm used to it~"

...Gao Xiaofan stopped, put down his backpack, and panted.

"Let's take a break. I'll see if I can catch some fish. If I do, we'll have lunch."

Qiu Gu also breathed a sigh of relief, and his eyes lit up after hearing that.

Would Gao Xiaofan catch any fish? He absolutely would!

There would be something delicious for lunch again~
