Chapter 435: Chapter 435: President Li Makes an Unexpected Entrance
Bai Qiang had an innate talent: her superhuman hearing.
Because of her acute hearing, she unlocked a special ability in her teenage years—Sound Positioning.
As long as she could catch even the faintest sound, she could precisely determine the location of the source, whether it was a person or an object.
Later, she deliberately trained herself for a period of ti, and developed another remarkable skill.
Blindfolded Shooting.
With her eyes covered, plunged into darkness, her hearing instead beca more amplified—she could pick up sounds even more clearly than when her eyes were open.
By the advanced stage of her training, Bai Qiang evolved to the point where, even if soone randomly threw a ball into the air, she could hit it mid-flight while blindfolded.
It beca a reflexive instinct.
Eventually, she sent the K.A. Chairman a video of herself performing Blindfolded Shooting.
Chairman Erwin was stunned on the spot when he watched the video, and imdiately invited her to beco a club mber.
Bai Qiang was only seventeen at that ti. Due to her family background, she concealed her identity and appearance, so Erwin only knew her by the na “Qiangwei.”
When Lu Sheng was reborn into Bai Qiang’s body, she was already twenty-three years old.
Nine years later, that is, just over a year ago when she contacted Erwin again, Bai Qiang’s age would have been thirty-two.
Considering that in the future she might be reborn into yet another young body, Lu Sheng didn’t reveal herself as Annalise at that ti but instead adopted another identity.
–
In everyday life, there really wasn’t any occasion to use a skill as niche as Blindfolded Shooting.
So when Lu Sheng found herself stranded on a deserted island one day—forced to hunt wild rabbits in the forest late at night for food—she was genuinely unprepared.
After packing the third rabbit she had shot into her backpack, Lu Sheng wiped the blood off her hands and stowed her bow and arrows.
She did a quick ntal calculation—five people, three rabbits, tomorrow’s lunch would be sufficient.
It would only cover one al, but every evening after that, she could co into the forest to hunt.
Besides rabbits, the forest might also yield snakes, and with so luck, she might encounter wild boars; all were viable food sources.
In addition to hunted ga, they could also fill their stomachs with wild fruits.
With this thought, Lu Sheng returned to the tall, sprawling fruit tree she’d initially spotted.
The foliage of this giant tree was lush and abundant. The wild fruits, about the size of a fist, nestled among the leaves and appeared white from a distance.
What now? Should she climb the tree to pick them?
Lu Sheng looked around; it seed there wasn’t a better solution.
Taking a deep breath, she placed her backpack and bow on the ground, then moved to stand beneath the tree.
Climbing trees wasn’t sothing Lu Sheng was good at, nor had she ever done it before.
So even though she hugged the trunk and pushed upwards with significant effort, she could only climb about a ter before slipping straight back down.
When she landed on the ground, she nearly twisted her ankle.
The tree trunk was too smooth.
When she planted her feet, it was hard to gain traction to push upwards. Instead, her foot would easily slip, and she’d tumble down.
Her second attempt ended with the sa result.
By her third fall, the young woman was slightly panting, her chest rising and falling. It was evident she felt a bit powerless in the face of the situation.
Watching this unfold, the livestream viewers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
[Oh my God, I’m finally reassured after seeing this! Turns out Lu Sheng is still human—she’s not so omnipotent monster.]
[Exactly! All that stuff about building houses and making bows with bare hands, then blindfolded shooting—it’s just too much. If no one told Lu Sheng was a high schooler, I’d think she was a special forces operative!]
[For the first ti, seeing soone fail to climb a tree has made feel grounded. Is it weird that I’m inexplicably comforted?]
[Watching Lu Sheng struggle with tree climbing while I excel at it, I suddenly feel less useless. Turns out I’m better at sothing than a genius!]
Lu Sheng, of course, had no idea that her inability to climb trees had brought solace to countless viewers.
She was rely accustod to identifying problems and thinking of the best solutions, so she was pondering her options now.
Either she could try climbing the tree a few more tis, although the outco would probably be the sa.
Or she could head back and return tomorrow with Fifth Brother and the others to help pick the fruit.
For soone like Fifth Brother or Han Jing, climbing trees wouldn’t be as difficult. But Lu Sheng considered another concern.
Tomorrow morning, so people would likely co to the forest to search for map fragnts.
According to Mr. S, map fragnts had been hidden all around the deserted island. It was a matter of who found them first, and whether the fragnts contained any marked routes.
Thus, if Xu Xinya and Shi Yuwei spotted this fruit tree tomorrow, it would likely lead to another squabble over resources, with them scheming to claim all the fruit for themselves.
What a headache.
Just as Lu Sheng was grappling with her dilemma, her ears suddenly picked up a noise.
Or rather, not only her superhuman hearing, but even the viewers watching the livestream could hear it.
It was distinct from the sound of a rabbit darting through the underbrush—this was clearly sothing heavy crunching through the forest floor.
What could suddenly appear in the forest in the middle of the night?
Lu Sheng’s expression hardened, and her entire body snapped into high alert.
In almost an instant, she grabbed her bow from the ground, nocked an arrow, and aid it toward the source of the sound. It was clear that as soon as she identified what was approaching, she’d fire imdiately.
But when Lu Sheng—and the viewers on the livestream—finally saw the massive figure erging from the darkness, everyone collectively sucked in a sharp breath!
A towering figure virtually obscuring the trees behind, covered in thick, brown fur. A round head, short neck, and muscular limbs with powerful claws capable of snapping a human skull in an instant…
It was a grizzly bear.
And this grizzly bear was now staring directly at the girl gripping her bow, her eyes fierce and unwavering.
