Lunch Crisis

This village was originally a well-known impoverished village in Baisha Province.

It's said that harsh environments breed unruly people, but Liang Xing, with his money paving the way, found them all to be incredibly amiable.

The impoverished village was small, with fewer than a hundred residents, mostly the elderly, weak, women, and children.

Liang Xing, through Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, contacted people of sufficient influence and rented the entire village outright. The nearby farmland and forests were essentially given away, but only for the duration of the filming.

Both parties agreed that Liang Xing would rent the entire village to film a reality show called Autumn Outing.

After filming, the original residents should be able to return to their homes, and the roads leading out of the village should be repaired.

There were many other conditions, all proposed by Liang Xing himself.

All the conditions actually revolved around the development plan for the impoverished village, which he planned to address after the show, depending on the situation.

Mainly, he didn't know how accepting people would be of this projection covering the real world.

Autumn Outing is not just about promoting the Digital World; it's also a test of the reuse of related technologies.

Currently, it seems that everyone's acceptance of the Digital World is quite good?

"There's a well here! There are also cooking utensils inside the room."

After Liang Xing announced the rules of the game, A Lie and Qian Lai led their respective team members to act separately.

Elecmon was still guarding the house where the Digital Egg was located, and A Lie and Qian Lai were naturally looking for suitable rooms nearby.

Perhaps A Lie was just lucky?

He quickly found a suitable room.

"There's rice and vegetables here. Uncle A Lie! Can you cook?"

The little ones inspected the kitchen, and Qi Tian found rice and vegetables, quickly notifying A Lie.

They had all brought snacks, but even excluding breakfast, there were still two days and four meals, and snacks would definitely not be enough.

Even Qi Tian didn't expect Xing-ge to not provide food!

"Don't worry! I've been living alone since graduation. This is my specialty!"

A Lie looked at Qian Lai triumphantly, thinking that this rich second-generation guy probably wouldn't know how to cook, right?

"Is that something to be proud of?" Qian Lai couldn't understand A Lie's thought process and shook his head with a smile.

"Uncle A Lie, Uncle Qian is implying that you don't have a girlfriend~"

Ning Jing, chasing Qi Tian's Koromon, passed by and lightly added a jab.

"Cough cough cough—go, go, go! What does a fifth-grader know?" A Lie's laughter stopped abruptly, and he pretended to be angry to scare Ning Jing.

But after the experience in the car, the children had a general understanding of A Lie and Qian Lai's personalities and were not afraid of him at all.

"Uncle Qian, there's a hole in the fence over there."

Liu Jie, one of the members of Qian Lai's team, a seventh-grade boy, ran over with a Digital Monster on his head.

His Digital Monster was a fluffy ball with horns on its head, and its yellow fluff was particularly bright.

"Horned Beast seems to have seen Goblinmon, but I didn't dare to chase after them."

The Horned Beast on his head also bounced and added, "There are 5 Goblinmon!"

"Let's fix the fence first, and we'll assist Elecmon in defense."

The fence doesn't really provide much obstruction, but the sound of it being damaged can serve as a warning, so it's still necessary to repair it a bit.

"Xing-ge! There's a problem! We're fixing the fence, it should be okay to move things, right?"

Qian Lai didn't believe that such a remote place could have such good buildings; it was probably a projection covering it.

He knew how realistic the simulation effect of these flying cameras was, so it was necessary to ask in advance.

"Don't worry! Move them as you please, I'll take care of it." Liang Xing, wandering outside the shooting range of the camera crew, replied with confidence.

Strictly speaking, from the moment Liang Xing welcomed everyone to the Digital World, everything they saw, except for the people who came with them, was a Holographic Projection.

But these projections are more like covering a layer of film on real objects; in essence, there is a similar real object as a foundation.

Qian Lai was right, but he underestimated the Holographic Projection that Liang Xing had come up with.

The impact of humans in the real world on the Digital World is definitely real-time feedback!

"Okay! Then I'm relieved." Qian Lai was about to set off to repair the fence, but A Lie chased after him.

"You guys go find something to eat first! I'll take Tian-Tian and the others to fix the fence."

A Lie wasn't a saint either; the rice and vegetables that Qi Tian and the others found weren't enough for two teams to eat.

But he couldn't bear to watch Qian Lai and his team go hungry.

"I brought self-heating hot pot." Qian Lai tilted his head and looked at A Lie, and the little guy traveling with him obviously knew about it too.

Although it still wasn't enough for 4 people to eat, at least they didn't have to worry about lunch today.

"Wow—you really thought of everything!"

There was a sentence he couldn't say, but A Lie had to admit that Qian Lai's preparations were indeed more thorough.

"You're worried about him? You should worry about yourselves first! Do you even know how to make a fire? Don't let my nephew go hungry!"

Liang Xing shouted from afar, then slurped down a mouthful of his deluxe instant noodles.

The props team had already prepared lunch: a big pot of beef and a bowl of instant noodles for everyone.

If there weren't enough noodles, they could just eat meat; there was plenty of that.

Liang Xing ate with great relish, watching to see how A Lie would solve the lunch problem.

"Xing-ge! I don't smoke, so where am I going to get a fire? Help me out!"

A Lie couldn't be bothered with helping to repair things; solving the food problem for everyone was the key.

"Hehe~ Go look around; there should be a lighter in one of the rooms."

If he said he wouldn't help, he wouldn't help.

Liang Xing would let the little guys freeload, but nothing else was possible!

'LOL, what kind of Autumn Outing is this? Survival?'

'Tian Tian is so muddled! How could he end up on A Lie's team?'

The audience in the livestream were enjoying the show, eating their takeout meals and happily watching A Lie frantically running around.

On the other side, Qian Lai arrived at the destination with his large backpack.

It was obvious that the fence had been violently torn apart, most likely due to the Goblinmon's invasion just now.

"Xiao Jie, take your younger siblings and look around for some wooden planks."

Qian Lai put down his backpack and took out self-heating hot pot, self-heating rice, and disposable bowls and chopsticks.

Then, after searching for a while, he took out a toolbox from his backpack.

Hammer, nails, everything was there.

While the little ones were collecting wooden planks, Qian Lai drew water from a nearby well. Clear spring water... wait a minute.

"Handsome, is this water clean?"

Looking around and seeing only the camera crew filming, Qian Lai could only ask him.

"Don't worry, the local residents also drink this well water; it's all clean."

"Thanks!"

Qian Lai was relieved and took out a pot from his backpack, preparing to boil water.

Since he could use what was available locally, there was no need to waste bottled water.

"Have you guys eaten? Want to eat something together?"

When Liu Jie and the three others returned with the wooden planks, Qian Lai started pouring water. The self-heating hot pot and rice were easy to heat up, and the little ones would be able to eat something hot when they got back.

"No, no, thank you. We'll just wait for the shift change."

"Okay, thanks for your hard work." Qian Lai didn't insist.

Danger was approaching, and there wasn't much food anyway; it was just a polite offer.

Such is the way of the world.
