Chapter 34

There were many of them. At a glance, there were at least 25 of them.

What followed was an intense blow up of comments.

The comments section was filled with a series of exclamations.

[Bai Lin is awesome! She’s too good at reaping the deal!]

[Can this be exchanged for points? I’ll sh*t doing a handstand!]

[I was wondering why she was being so mysterious and didn’t let us watch and even went back in advance to check on the production team so they wouldn’t find out about this place. She must’ve known that this was a loophole and that she’d be stopped if they found out.]

[The production team definitely can’t agree to this. If all these houses could be exchanged for points, the logic of the point system will be messed up. What difference would Bai Lin who has so many points be from the production team?]

[Then it shouldn’t be called “The Brave Traveler” anymore. It should be t.i.tled “Bai Lin and Her Workers”.]

While everyone was shocked, Bai Lin took a quick look at the houses on the ground and answered immediately, “There are 36 bamboo houses in total. It’s 2880 points.

“Please have them redeemed.”

The wooden houses were exquisite and had all the essentials. They were basically the miniature version of the house built according to the blueprint given by the production team.

It did not require that many bamboos or much strength. One bamboo could build two of these houses.

The staff member was a little troubled. “Uh… I can’t make the decision. Let’s ask the director.”

“How can this be considered a bamboo house?” Bai Shao shouted. “People have to live in the bamboo house, right? Even ants can’t fit in here, let alone humans!”

Bai Lin squatted down on the spot, found an ant, and sent it to the bamboo house.

“Look, it says it’s very comfortable,” Bai Lin said.

[Ant: I really have to thank you.]

[Even an ant has a house and I don’t.]

Bai Shao was so stumped by this that he almost fainted. He blurted nonsense in his fit of panic. “Bullsh*t! Why didn’t I hear it?!”

“Is it possible that… ants can’t speak?” Lin Sen, who was still somewhat clear-headed, deadpanned.

The director was silent for a few seconds after watching the video. Then, his voice came out from the communication device, “Bai Lin, you’re really something.”

“Thank you for the compliment,” Bai Lin replied.

“The points have already been calculated,” the director sighed and said, “Bai Lin, your score is the highest in the history of the program. Congratulations.”

Bai Lin remained calm as if some over 2000 points were nothing. She even yawned.

“Let’s go.”

Bai Shao was so angry that he was about to die. For some reason, however, no one in his group fought back.

When he was about to question the director’s decision, Zhao Yuan pulled him back with gleaming eye. “Son, don’t say anything first. We’ll talk about it when we get back.”

Bai Lin had already walked quite a distance away. Bai Shao cried anxiously, “It’ll be too late if we talk about it later! Bai Lin’s points are fairly obtained. She’s taking advantage of the game’s loophole. It’s so unfair and I can’t talk about it?”

“Can’t we do it too when she can do it?” Zhao Yuan pressed him down and whispered.

Bai Shao understood instantly and said with great interest, “Then what are we still talking about? Let’s go!”

The next day, Bai Xi’s group worked through the night to make 50 small wooden houses. Although they were not as exquisite as the ones Bai Lin’s group had done, they were still in the shape of wooden houses.

When Bai Lin looked over, Bai Shao provocatively picked up an ant and put it in the wooden house.

Bai Lin retracted her gaze with disinterest. Bai Shao was pleased with himself, feeling that he had finally gained the upper hand for once.

However, the happiness of Bai Shao, or perhaps Bai Xi’s entire group, did not last long.

The production team announced the new rules.

The rules had changed greatly this time, mainly on the points.

[Bamboo house: 35 points per square meter.]

The faces of everyone in Bai Xi’s group fell. Fan Feng cursed, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? We made the bamboo houses for nothing the whole night.”

“According to the measurement, your bamboo houses can get 30 points,” the staff said.

“But Bai Lin…”

“Bai Lin’s group completed the bamboo house mission before the rules were changed,” the staff said in a formal manner, “The rule for the points was updated at three in the morning, and you handed them in at seven, so you have to follow the current rules.”

Seeing that Bai Xi’s group had nothing to say, the staff handed out the watches one by one and explained, “Also, the novice protection period has ended. The production team will no longer provide guidance, and all instructors will be withdrawn. If you need to build construction tools, you can use your points to redeem the blueprints.”

Bai Shao mumbled as he fiddled with his watch, “Emergency pop-up, point redemption, item redemption… Wait, why is the blueprint so expensive? A straw raincoat costs 30 points?”

There was more than one bad news.

The staff unfolded the map of the rainforest. The rainforest was divided into two areas, inner and outer, with a few red dots on it.

He first pointed to the North of the outer area. “This is our current location, located at the outer area of the rainforest. The three supply stations set up on the outer area are now invalid, and the 22 supply stations inside the rainforest are now open.”
