After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: The Spectacled Cobra



The other three contestants were all carrying some simple equipment and parachutes.

Chen Yu, however, had brought nothing, which meant his wilderness survival was starting from scratch.

After arriving on the island, he started searching for some dry trees.

He picked up a thin branch and, with all his strength, fiercely struck it against the trunk of a tree.

A shower of sparks flew out, igniting the dry grass he had placed nearby.

This method of making fire by friction was also an eye-opener.

Such incredible arm strength was needed to light a fire in one go.

After briefly warming his clothes over the fire, Chen Yu stripped some bark from the trees and made a simple hammock, where he lay down with ease.

He had hurriedly taken a flight here last night and was called early in the morning to participate in the wilderness survival competition.

Even with his excellent physical condition, it was a bit too much to bear.

Furthermore, the island wasn\'t very large, and it didn\'t pose much danger, so it made sense to rest here for a day first.

It didn\'t take long for Chen Yu to fall into a deep sleep.

Unaware of how much time had passed, he was awakened by a system notification in his mind.

"Congratulations host for completing a day\'s business; since costs exceeded profits, there are no points accumulated."

Before leaving, Chen Yu had given his phone to Tong Ya and had also shared his payment password with her.

After all, there might not be any signal on the wilderness survival site.

Even if there was, according to the competition rules, he wasn\'t allowed to carry any electronic devices.

Chen Yu stretched lazily, jumped down from the tree bed, and ignited another fire.

Then he jumped into the sea and forcefully dragged up two large fish.

After a simple meal, Chen Yu put on his dried clothes and chopped down some nearby trees to make a simple raft.

Leisurely, he set off for the mainland.

The other three contestants weren\'t having as easy a time as Chen Yu.

They only rested on the island for a short while before swimming straight for the mainland.

The wilderness survival competition had a specific destination, and the first to arrive would be declared the winner.

Once Chen Yu reached the shore, he didn\'t stop for a moment and immediately began darting through the thicket of trees.

He was so fast that even the drones following him couldn\'t keep up.

Having run for most of the night, not once did Chen Yu show signs of fatigue.

Just as he was about to find something to eat, he suddenly heard a scream not far away.

Chen Yu frowned, climbed up a tall tree to take a look, and indeed saw the flicker of a fire in that direction.

Without lingering, Chen Yu swung from one large tree to another and headed toward the fire.

The other three contestants were all there.

One of them was lying next to the fire, gritting his teeth in agony.

The three seemed to come from different countries, and their communication was extremely chaotic.

Yet all three appeared to be anxious.

Chen Yu took a quick look and realized that the injured contestant had been bitten by a venomous snake.

By the looks of the wound, it was likely a pit viper.

An injury from such a snake was difficult to heal unless one had antivenom.

At that moment, a large number of drones were hovering nearby, inquiring about the situation.

Compared to others\' panic, Chen Yu remained incredibly calm.

He told the drones he could handle it and then disappeared into the dense forest beside them.

Before long, Chen Yu returned with a bunch of herbs.

"Chen, this stuff... effective..."

Chen Yu looked up and saw the person inquiring before him, with the name \'Bell\' written on his chest.

His Chinese wasn\'t very good, so his speech came out haltingly.

Chen Yu didn\'t say a word, only giving an \'OK\' hand sign.

Then, he applied the pulverized herbal medicine to the injured person\'s leg.

The injured person\'s name was Kant, and Chen Yu had seen his wilderness survival programs before—he was a truly ruthless man.

Another person was named Karan.

Originally a seasoned adventure blogger, he had become enamored with wilderness survival.

The competition was originally a friendly match between the three of them.

However, after they saw the video of Chen Yu climbing the cliff with his bare hands and the goose neck barnacles,

they unanimously decided they wanted to challenge Chen Yu.

After all, the move Chen Yu made was extremely difficult.

All three of them had tested it and found that they couldn\'t move as freely as Chen Yu did.

After Kant had the herbal medicine applied, he quickly regained consciousness, and his complexion gradually improved.

Bell and Karan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Using their broken Chinese, they kept thanking Chen Yu and even shared some of the supplies they had brought with them.

Early the next morning, the four set out together.

The primeval jungle was extremely dangerous; Kant\'s lesson told them that one person couldn\'t cross the jungle alone.

In the organizer\'s camp, everyone was watching the images sent back by the drones, and the post-production staff immediately began processing these images.

Especially the footage of Chen Yu rescuing people last night, which was further dramatized.

They then changed the original title from \'The Lonely Brave\' to \'Teamwork\'.

By evening, Kant was able to walk freely, and the four buried the stretcher they had used to carry him.

Having traveled a bit further, the four worked together using large leaves to make a simple pot.

Chen Yu gathered the food and seasoning they each had and used the game he had caught to prepare a feast.

The three hadn\'t expected to eat something so delicious under wilderness survival conditions.

They all saw Chen Yu with new eyes.

And they even began to have a faint sense of conceding defeat.

Just with the skills of treating snake venom and cooking in the wild, Chen Yu had already overwhelmed the three of them.

[Congratulations to the host for completing a day\'s business. As the cost exceeds the profit, there is no bonus to points.]

In the past few days, Chen Yu had grown accustomed to such notification sounds.

However, he didn\'t care much about points anymore.

The skills the system provided were enough to make him a cut above the rest.

Moreover, he hadn\'t fully mastered many skills, and there was no need to acquire new ones.

Chen Yu silently vowed in his heart that he would definitely start up his factory when he returned this time.

Just as they were eating, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods beside them.

All four of them had hearing above that of ordinary people and almost simultaneously stood up.

Before long, a group of mongrel dogs appeared.

They greedily stared at the four, or more precisely, at the large leaf in the middle.

Chen Yu\'s brow furrowed; he couldn\'t help but complain inwardly about who had chosen this wilderness survival location.

This was no longer a competition but practically playing with their lives.

However, he didn\'t rule out the possibility that his cooking was too delicious, and the fragrance had attracted the mongrel dogs.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and slowly picked up a tree branch from beside him.

As two of the dogs leaped towards him, he lashed out fiercely with the branch.
