After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows-Chapter 71 Major Discovery
Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Major Discovery
Jiang Xiyu wanted to know if anyone else had any objections to this distribution. Just as she turned her head to look at Jiang Kaiyuan preparing to fish with a hook, she saw him waving happily in the direction of Jiang Lingxi, shouting expectantly, "Sister Xixi, do we have any hope of eating something different this time?"
Having eaten grilled rabbit for two days straight, he wanted to try some other types of meat!
Jiang Lingxi checked her bow slung across her back, "I’ll do my best."
She happened to also want a change of taste.
Jiang Xiyu: "..."
In this jungle, just being able to fill your stomach was already pretty good, and a change in taste? Dreaming?
Yu Hui, although he was somewhat puzzled about Jiang Lingxi being able to go hunting with Xu Zhao, tactfully did not ask more and instead focused on building a simple stove assigned to him.
So when Jiang Xiyu glanced over, she only saw a dark head. freewebnσvel.cѳm
As Jiang Kaiyuan watched Jiang Lingxi and Xu Zhao leave together, he was about to look away when he spotted Jiang Xiyu still standing there, reminding her, "Jiang Xiyu, why haven’t you gone to collect firewood? Remember to watch your step this time!"
Jiang Xiyu bit her lip and took a deep breath, "I’m going now!"
Yu Hui heard that Jiang Xiyu’s voice was a bit stifled, paused for a moment, and continued busying himself.
Jiang Kaiyuan didn’t notice at all, and even thought he was being helpful. He cheerfully cast his fishing hook.

In the sunset-lit jungle, weary birds were returning to their nests. Jiang Lingxi also readied her bow.
She was quite lucky; she hadn’t walked far before spotting a wild pheasant.
However, just as she was aiming to shoot, Xu Zhao hurriedly stopped her.
"That’s not edible!"
Seeing the nearly-obtained prey slowly spread its beautiful feathers and fly away, Jiang Lingxi looked at Xu Zhao with rare intensity, "Why can’t we eat it?"
Xu Zhao didn’t expect Jiang Lingxi not to know that and explained patiently, "The wild pheasant is a national second-class protected animal. It’s illegal to hunt it without permission."
"Illegal?" Jiang Lingxi showed a trace of bewilderment, "Wild pheasant, needs protection?"
"Not only pheasants, but tigers, monkeys, sika deer, and even some bird species are protected by the state. Unless they threaten our life safety, killing them for self-defense is allowed; otherwise, it’s illegal." Seeing that Jiang Lingxi genuinely didn’t know, Xu Zhao spoke more seriously, "You could go to jail for it."
Jiang Lingxi was greatly puzzled and deeply shocked.
If that’s the case, then her annual spring and autumn hunts in her last life would be enough to land her in jail these days.
"Then what can we eat?"
"Wild rabbits, bugs, snakes, and fish."
Jiang Lingxi: "..."
How was it so difficult to expand the menu!
"We can exclude snakes; Jiang Kaiyuan certainly wouldn’t dare eat them. Bugs are also unlikely, so it seems rabbits are the only option."
After exchanging helpless glances, the two could only start seriously searching for rabbit holes.
Though unable to change the menu, they could at least still eat meat.
She still needed to thank the rabbits, breeding so quickly and abundantly that they hadn’t been added to the prohibited menu.
The trolls squatting in the livestream room for days finally found a point to attack. They were almost moved to tears. They thought this task would be easy, but ended up holding back for several days, watching the stream 24/7 was no small feat!
— "I’m dying of laughter, doesn’t even know what protected animals there are, Jiang Lingxi really is nine-leak fish confirmed!"
— "I recommend Jiang Lingxi go back and properly attend school, so she doesn’t lack common knowledge even kids possess."
"Tong Yue, people are attacking Sister Xixi again!"
Tong Yue took the tablet Lu Zhengzheng handed over, glanced at the screen filled with dense comments, and inexplicably recalled Jiang Lingxi’s previous comment about wanting to raise pandas at home. She couldn’t help but rub her temples.
"Although it’s clear these commenters are professional trolls, about this attack, we really have no way to counter it."
Jiang Lingxi’s high school diploma looks inadequate in the current entertainment industry where everyone competes vigorously, even if some celebrities don’t have time to study and have bought their degrees, at least it looks good on paper.
The key is Jiang Lingxi did not even buy one, and what’s more, she hasn’t considered temporarily leaving the entertainment industry to return to school for further education.
"What should we do? These trolls keep attacking her education, but a diploma doesn’t define everything; hasn’t Sister Xixi done well in this show?"
"There’s only one solution."
"What solution?"
"Wait until Little Xixi finishes filming this show then I’ll ask if she’s willing to improve her education level. If you feel angry, you can report these trolls’ accounts one by one. Their comments are so radical, reporting them should be effective, as long as you aren’t afraid of getting tired eyes and fingers."
Lu Zhengzheng shouted loudly, "I’m not tired!"
While her assistant diligently defended and seriously reported the trolls’ accounts, Jiang Lingxi also finally made a discovery.
But it wasn’t a rabbit. It was a big snake lazily digesting some unknown prey in the grass.
At first glance, it was about wrist-thick. If it weren’t for the bulging belly, she would’ve missed it in the darkening skies.
With one swift stab of the knife by Xu Zhao, piercing the snake’s vital point, the snake struggled only briefly before it died.
"The rabbits might be nowhere to be found; looks like we’ll really have to eat this snake meat today."
Jiang Lingxi had no objection. In her past life during warfare in desperate situations, she had eaten everything but human flesh. However, she still suggested, "How about we clean it before taking it back, otherwise Jiang Kaiyuan might have a psychological shadow."
And Jiang Xiyu too, probably wouldn’t be able to accept it.
"Sounds good, let’s see what’s in its belly. Looks like it’s sizeable."
Xu Zhao pulled out the knife, ready to cut open the snake’s softest belly. The knife tip hadn’t touched when Jiang Lingxi reached out to stop him.
"Its belly seems to be moving, the animal inside still seems to be alive."
Xu Zhao looked carefully, "You’re right, it must have been swallowed not long ago."
As he cut again, palm softer as he approached the belly.
The sharp knife tip worked through, and the undigested, vigorously struggling little creature finally saw the light of day.
The first thing Jiang Lingxi saw was two small black ears. She gently grabbed one and pulled it aside.
When she could see the little creature’s entire appearance, she paused, subconsciously softened her movements.
It was simply too small and too tender!
Hearing the noise beside her, she turned to see Xu Zhao’s nearly ever-present knife, slipping from his grip onto the ground.
His ever-calm face almost devoid of any emotional fluctuation was clearly displaying shock, "My God, how could this little guy appear in such a place?"
