"Ready! Start!"
At Fu Sichen’s command, everyone began to crawl forward with all their might, but the resistance of the mud was too great, and given everyone was holding a wooden stake in front, there really wasn’t much strength left to muster.
Lin Chuan kept pouring water into it, quickly ssing up their clothes and hair.
"30 seconds! Didn’t you eat breakfast?"
Fu Sichen glanced at Lin Chuan, "Stop pouring water, otherwise you’ll be the one to carry the stakes by yourself!"
The barrage had quieted down a lot, everyone watching the scene with indescribable feelings.
"Don’t think this is tough. Our forefathers faced worse during the wars—they climbed snow mountains and steep cliffs, staking their lives."
"If it were them encountering this kind of mud, it would seem trivial. So, have you all tried your best? If not, we start over!"
"Stop! Ti’s up!"
They had just barely reached the opposite side.
The water in the mud pit was rising slowly, which actually made the resistance slightly less than before.
"Continue! One minute! Ready! Start!"
"Lin Chuan, keep pouring the water!"
[Whoo, I’m getting goosebumps just watching this.]
[Don’t feel it’s too hard, they had it harder, I’m tearing up here.]
[Feeling excited and pumped, but also feeling sorry for them.]
[Actually, Captain Fu is being good to them, constantly having water poured to eventually thin the mud, which helps a lot.]
[Totally a fan of Jiang Mian now, she’s not pretentious or dramatic, very calm.]
[I must recomnd this to everyone I know!]
"Tired or not!"
"Tired!"
"Continue! 20 seconds left!"
Everyone was gritting their teeth and crawling forward, Lin Chuan’s water never stopped, hitting them in the face.
"Stop! Ti’s up! Good job this ti, strive to pass on the third try!"
It wasn’t until the third and fourth rounds that they still hadn’t t the standard.
Everyone was sowhat drained, even Lin Chuan felt his arm muscles sore from pouring water.
Fu Sichen stood on the outskirts and spoke, "Those who feel they can continue, stay; those who cannot may leave the mud pit and go take a shower now."
"Captain Fu! We can do it! One last ti! We’ll definitely pass!"
"Right! We won’t leave!"
"Good! Ready!"
"Start!"
At the command, everyone’s pace was noticeably faster than the previous ones, and they reached the other side and turned back within 30 seconds.
The staff was also feeling uneasy.
"Hope they can make it this ti!"
Fu Sichen looked at his stopwatch, "20 seconds!"
"We can do it!"
"10 seconds!"
"9!"
"8!"
...
"1!"
In the final mont, everyone’s hands successfully touched the other end, and the people present erupted into loud applause.
Including Fu Sichen and Lin Chuan.
Fu Sichen crouched down and helped each one of them up, "Well done."
It was the first smile they saw on Fu Sichen’s face today.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Director Xu’s tension also eased, thankful that they didn’t have to rearrange the plans.
At that mont, he thought preparing the mud pit was just so light play, he hadn’t anticipated sothing so intense, he underestimated their actual training level...
After everyone regrouped, Fu Sichen scanned the six mud-covered people, his eyes landing on Jiang Mian’s slightly pale lips.
"Jiang Mian!"
"Present!"
"Feeling any discomfort?"
"Report! I felt a bit anemic earlier, but it’s okay now."
Fu Sichen nodded, "If you are feeling unwell, speak up early, we won’t proceed with the next task. After that, you can go wash and take a shower."
Lin Chuan brought a plate of bloody raw beef in front of them.
!!!
[Oh my! I’m shocked, raw beef!]
[Damn, that looks too real.]
[They’re not going to eat that, are they? How can anyone stomach that, it’s so bloody.]
Fu Sichen didn’t say a word, picked up a slice, and ate it in front of everyone.
!!!
Their eyes widened.
Eating raw beef!
This was even harder to accept than the mud pit.
"The second task, eat raw beef, then you can wash and take a shower."
Lin Chuan approached them, each person took a slice, "No picking, they’re all the sa weight."
Everyone reluctantly picked up the raw beef, when it was Jiang Mian’s turn—
She paused for two seconds, sensing the taste, and felt her stomach churning, extrely nauseated.
"Ugh!"
Jiang Mian held it up, keeping so distance.
"Alright, eat it."
Nobody wanted to be the first to bite, all still observing the reactions of those around them.
Fu Sichen’s voice was faint, "In the wild, you won’t get raw beef. You might have to eat small insects, caterpillars and such, eating them raw is normal. You have to eat to survive!"
Xie Shuanghao and Wu Jun were the first to stuff it in, chewed twice, and swallowed it down.
Jiang Mian watched for a while, held her breath, and stuffed it into her mouth, but the taste directly hit her nerves—
"Ugh!"
She imdiately covered her mouth, just about to swallow, but stomach acid surged up.
"Ugh!"
Lin Chuan quickly reacted, pulling out a black garbage bag from his pocket and handing it to Jiang Mian, who turned around and vomited everything out.
Along with several dry heaves.
That taste was truly...
A flash crossed Fu Sichen’s brows; he stepped forward and pulled Jiang Mian over.
?!!!
"Captain Fu! You..."
Fu Sichen looked a bit anxious and serious, "Go to the dical room."
