Chapter 52: Return of the team of slackers
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Because Meng Chuyuan could not see any tangible results from rowing the boat, she chose to stop. She first observed the direction of the wind and recalled the trajectory of the boat when they rowed just now.
She felt that as long as they found the regularities of the boat, they would definitely be able to solve their current problem.
Lu Jinsen stopped and turned around to face her. He placed the paddle at his feet.
Meng Chuyuan felt that the ship was shaking a little too much, affecting her observation and judgment.
She looked up at Lu Jinsen with disdain in her eyes. “Can you stop moving around?”
Lu Jinsen was also afraid that the boat would capsize, so after Meng Chuyuan reminded him, he did not dare to move.
When Meng Chuyuan’s group stopped, because they were sailing against the current, the small wooden boat was affected by the current and sailed backwards after stopping, so the other two groups were in the lead.
Although the other two teams had not mastered any technique, they had been rowing non-stop. With the help of the wind, it was enough to keep their boat moving. Unfortunately, they were a little off-course, and they were thinking of ways to adjust their trajectory.
[Is Sister Meng going to completely start slacking?]
[This ship doesn’t give Sister Meng any face at all, hahaha.]
[Even a King like Sister Meng has a Bronze Young Master that she can’t lead.]
[Alright, the team of slackers has returned.]
Lu Jinsen had already calmed down. Moreover, he did not care about winning or losing. In any case, the last to arrive would still have a house to live in. It was just that they would not have a choice.
With regards to Meng Chuyuan, on the other hand, he did not know what she was looking at. She seemed to be quite serious.
Seeing that she was staring at the sea, Lu Jinsen could not help but ask, “What are you looking at?”
“I’m looking for a solution. Actually, it’s not only the current that’s affecting our trajectory, but also the direction of the wind today.”
Through her observation, Meng Chuyuan had a rough idea of what was going on. “Turn around. When you’re rowing later, focus more on the right.”
“Will this work?”
“We’ll know once we try.”
Although Lu Jinsen did not quite believe in what Meng Chuyuan said, they still had to continue forward.
He picked up the paddle and turned around. Following Meng Chuyuan’s request, he focused on rowing to the right.
The viewers in the livestream saw their team’s wooden boat set sail again, and this time, their boat was really moving forward.
[This ship is really moving.]
[This ship also knows who the big brother is and who to listen to. Hahaha.] [Young Master, you have to learn. You have a god teaching you and you don’t even have to pay tuition fees.]
[Although I don’t understand, the facts tell me that Sister Meng is right.]
[Sister Meng is probably a top student. She can identify the problem simply through casual observation.]
Because Meng Chuyuan’s group had mastered the method of sailing against the current, they quickly caught up.
At this moment, Qi Zhen’s group slowed down.
Qi Yan sat in the front. She, who had no sense of direction, wore a liveless expression. Moreover, she was so bad at rowing the boat that whenever she could not keep up with the rhythm, she also could not control the direction of the bow.
In the face of Qi Yan’s lazy state, Qi Zhen exercised tolerance time and time again.
He had clearly seen through Qi Yan’s actions. There were a few times when she did not exert any strength and the oar only touched the water before rising.
“Sister, you have to lower your oar a little more.” Qi Zhen had reminded her many times, but there was still no improvement.
Qi Yan was completely unwilling to move now. She said with some resistance,
“I can’t take it anymore. I’m so tired.”
[I feel like Qi Zhen has boarded a pirate ship, hahaha.]
[The oar didn’t even hit the water. Aren’t these just fruitless attempts?]
[When this sister has to work, she’s either tired or uncomfortable. I can feel Qi Zhen’s brother’s helplessness.]
[F*ck, don’t force me to change my fanbase. After watching the variety show for a few days, I think Qi Zhen’s temper is quite good, but this sister is indeed a little undeserving of praise.]
[This sister is so pretentious. She has been dragging Qi Zhen down. I realized that even the Liao sisters are not as troublesome as her.]
Meng Chuyuan’s team advanced smoothly, and they were starting to get the hang of it. Soon, they distanced themselves from Qi Zhen’s team.
Liao Jiake’s group was still persevering. The sisters cooperated well. Compared to Qi Yan’s lazy state, they won the favor of a large group of audience.
Half an hour later, Meng Chuyuan’s group finally arrived on the island. The other two groups were still trying their best to rush over.
[F*ck! Sister Meng won again, hahahahaha]
[The team of slackers always comes out on top. They have never disappointed us.]
[Last episode, Sister Meng lived in the adobe house this episode she should be able to live in a better house, right?]
Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen each took their luggage and went to look for a house according to the guidelines given by the production team.
The houses on the island were all made of stone. They resembled tiger skin, and the walls were not only thick, but also very sturdy.
Before Meng Chuyuan saw the houses, she said to Lu Jinsen, “Let’s choose a closer one. I don’t want it to be like last time, where I have to travel for half an hour to complete a mission.”
She felt that the living conditions here should be decent. Perhaps it was just that the houses were old and looked old.
The choice of house did not matter to Meng Chuyuan. The most important thing was convenience.
“Younger brother, what do you think?” Meng Chuyuan tilted her head and looked at Lu Jinsen. “Why don’t we go straight to the first house later? We don’t have to look at the rest.”
Lu Jinsen frowned and said without changing his expression, “Isn’t that being a
little too hasty?”
“How is that being hasty? If you only start to consider the first few houses after visiting all three houses, they won’t be available anymore by then.”
[I’m dying of laughter. Although Sister Meng makes sense, I think it’s not too late to make a decision after visiting all the houses, right?]
[She’s the first one to arrive. Shouldn’t she choose the best house?]
[Sister Meng, aren’t you going to reconsider? What if the first house you see is the worst?]
[I think Young Master is speechless because of Sister Meng.]
Lu Jinsen hesitated for a moment before saying cautiously, “Let’s visit the first house first, then we decide.’
“Sure.”
After Lu Qianling came back from the airport, she went back to sleep. When she woke up for lunch, the courier happened to come.
“Miss Lu, your package has arrived. Please sign for it.”
“What delivery? I haven’t bought anything recently. Are you delivering it to the wrong person?”
“Block A, Block 6. Lu Qianling is right.”
Lu Qianling accepted the package with a dumbfounded look on her face. Then, she carried the box into the house and placed it on the coffee table.
She eagerly took a pair of scissors and cut open the tape. Then, she took out several steam eye masks from the box.
Lu Qianling stared at the eye masks blankly and muttered to herself, “Isn’t this the steam eye mask that I wanted to get for free yesterday?”
However, she clearly didn’t managed to get the discount on the goods last night, and there didn’t seem to be that many of them left.
Lu Qianling’s face was full of question marks. She was a little confused about the current situation. She thought about it carefully. The last person to help her click on the link was Meng Chuyuan. “Could it be that she bought it for me?”
Because other than Meng Chuyuan, she really could not think of anyone else…
