Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Jinsen’s face was filled with sincerity. When the audience saw this scene, they instantly became lively.

[I can’t laugh anymore. Hahaha, Young Master is really clingy towards Sister Meng.]

[Lu Jinsen said: How can a family be separated?]

[Actually, Lu Jinsen’s choice was correct because their group won first place in the previous episode. If Sister Meng and the other three remain a group, their funds for this event will be the highest. Now, it depends on what the other two choose.]

[No matter how they choose to team up, I don’t think their total funds for buying camping equipment can exceed 2,000 yuan. Hiss… Looks like 1,000 yuan is a little too much for them. Tents and sleeping bags will cost at least 100 yuan plus, right?]

Xu Huaning did not seem to care about whether she had enough funds. She went straight to her new teammate, Zhang Yunshu, and said, “Sister Yunshu, why don’t we go together?”

Zhang Yunshu was also very casual in this aspect. She immediately agreed,

“Sure.”

Seeing that the members of the two groups did not change teams, the audience’s attention was finally focused on the twins and the Liao sisters.

[There’s a good show to watch now. Hahaha, the dramatic effect of this variety show has been maxed out.]

[Let’s not talk about who they will choose between Sister Meng and Xu Huaning first. Right now, I’m curious about whether they will choose to be on the same team like the other two groups.]

[I think they will split up. They didn’t even record the previous episode together. Perhaps they have yet to make amends. How could they possibly team up?]

Under the intense discussion of the audience, they began to make their final choice.

At this moment, Liao Jiake also took the initiative to strike. “Yan Yan, do you want to come with me?”

“I think the grouping last time was pretty good.” After Liao Jiayan rejected her sister, she went to stand beside Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen.

Liao Jiake:

Qi Zhen’s gaze landed on Qi Yan and he called her softly, “Sister…”

Before Qi Zhen could finish speaking, Qi Yan interrupted him coldly. “It’s useless to call me sister.”

In other words: I won’t be in the same group as you.

Qi Yan turned to face the two teams that had already been formed. Subsequently, she took firm steps forward.

Qi Yan came to Meng Chuyuan’s side almost without hesitation. When she saw the surprised expressions of the others, she said calmly, “Why are you looking at me? I just think that the task will be easier with more money.”

Regarding this situation, she was still able to evaluate her options clearly.The most update n0vels are published on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.nᴇt

Moreover, she had just rejected Qi Zhen’s request to team up. Xu Huanning’s team still had two open seats. If she went over, there was a 50% chance that she would still be in the same team as Qi Zhen.

With Meng Chuyuan’s team full, Qi Zhen and Liao Jiake could only return to their original team.

The director said, “Since everyone has been divided into their teams, let’s go to the shop to buy the camping equipment.”

When they arrived at the camping store, each team of guests began to choose the camping equipment they needed.

After Meng Chuyuan entered the store, she scanned the area first. She was not in a hurry to look at anything else.

She saw that the things in the shop were brand new and there was almost no dust on them. The walls and ceiling were also very clean. It looked like a new shop that had just opened.

Meng Chuyuan turned to look at the boss behind her and asked curiously,

“Boss, your shop looks quite new.”

“Yes.” The boss explained to her, “Our village has a good ecological environment. We just started to develop new industries this year. You are the first tourists to camp here.”

Meng Chuyuan said, “It’s my first time camping too. I’m looking forward to it.” The environment here was indeed suitable for camping.

Unfortunately, they were still in their initial stages of development and their publicity was not strong enough. Therefore, it was only when the production team was gathering filming locations that they discovered this treasure land.

It just so happened that their variety show was quite popular. They hoped that it could play a role in publicizing and driving the rural tourism economy here.

After understanding the situation here, Meng Chuyuan began to carefully choose the equipment with the other guests.

When everyone saw the camping equipment they were interested in, they would basically ask the boss for the price first. Then, they would start to calculate if the price of buying these things was within their budget.

If they could pay out of their own pocket, equipment that cost a few thousand yuan was nothing. They could even buy the best and most expensive ones.

Now, when they heard the boss say that the tents cost about 300 yuan each, they were even hesitant in deciding how many to buy.

Xu Huaning said, “We have to buy two tents. The boys will take one. Then we’ll buy another big tent and the three of us girls will live together…?”

Qi Zhen nodded in agreement. “I think that’ll work.”

As the other guests inquired about the prices of items, Meng Chuyuan had also gained a rough grasp of the prices of various pieces of equipment.

Tents, sleeping bags, pots, and pans were indispensable to them. Then, there was fuel and some other tools. Their total expenses on these items basically exceeded their initial funds.

In the end, even if they could bargain with the boss, they would not have much money left.

Meng Chuyuan carefully calculated and budgeted their funds. Then, she began to come up another plan. Hence, she discussed it with the boss. “Boss, I want to ask if you were to rent a tent to us, how much would that be? To be honest, our funds are limited, so can you rent your tents to us?”

Hearing Meng Chuyuan’s request to rent equipment from the boss, the eyes of the other guests lit up.

Meng Chuyuan thought that since she did not camp often, buying these equipment was useless. Moreover, they were going to buy them with collective funding. After the recording, everyone might not necessarily want them anyway.

If they were to impulsively buy the equipment now, it might be a waste.

[I almost lost my brain watching the variety show! If Sister Meng hadn’t mentioned this, I would still have been trying to come up with a plan for them so that they can save some money, wondering how they should spend their money to maximize returns… Tsk!

[The outdoor supplies in the scenic area can indeed be rented. Sign the agreement and pay the deposit. Return the items after you use them.]

[I suggest you don’t buy it. I’m serious. If you buy it, once the recording ends, it will only benefit the production team. I remember that a guest bought a bicycle last season. In the end, that bicycle appeared on Director Luo’s other variety show.]

[They’ve been looking around for a long time. Boss, why didn’t you remind us that we can rent the equipment? Hahahaha.]

[It’s normal. The boss is a businessman. He definitely wants to sell the goods.]

After the boss told them the rental price, Meng Chuyuan and the others chose to rent the tents, outdoor stoves, pots, grill, and pans. They only spent money to buy fuel, lamps, and sleeping bags.

In the end, their group spent slightly more than 1,500 yuan and still had more than 300 yuan left.

Qi Zhen saw that Meng Chuyuan’s method was feasible, so he discussed it with Liao Jiake and the others. “Why don’t we rent our equipment too?”

Everyone agreed. “Let’s rent them.”

After purchasing all their equipment, everyone began to move their items into the vehicles and returned to the camp to set up their tents.

Each group of guests unloaded the tools they had bought and placed them in the empty space reserved by the production team. Basically everyone had a camping tool in their hand.

Everyone unfurled their rented tents and spread them out on the lawn. It was a rather difficult task for them, who had never camped before..
