"A Li, if I told you that someone came into our room last night and stole the instant noodles, would you believe me?" Deng Fei whispered.
Mu Li looked at Deng Fei as if he were an idiot: "Do you think I believe you?"
Deng Fei didn't even bother to act anymore and just laid his cards on the table: "I knew it, how could such a thing fool A Li?"
As he spoke, Deng Fei quietly stood beside Mu Li, put an arm around Mu Li's shoulder, and pointed at the other five people with his other hand: "Tell me, if you had just told the truth, our A Li would definitely forgive you, wouldn't he?"
Mu Li somewhat disdainfully pinched Deng Fei's hand on his shoulder with two fingers, tossed it behind him, and said helplessly: "Go on, I can take it."
Deng Fei immediately beamed, explaining what happened in a very fast voice: "He, it was him, he couldn't resist his hunger and ate all three remaining packs of instant noodles."
As Deng Fei spoke, his finger pointed at the speechless Chichi.
"Blastoise!" Mu Li shouted, and Blastoise immediately jumped out of Chichi's Poké Ball, with one cannon pointing at Deng Fei and the other at Chichi.
Chichi and Deng Fei's faces immediately changed.
"No, A Li! Let's talk this out!" Chichi immediately caved, "This is mostly Deng Fei's fault, he woke up early in the morning complaining of hunger, and then he incited us to eat all the instant noodles together."
Deng Fei also immediately raised his hands and shouted loudly: "A Li, you can't blame me, this was everyone's decision."
Mu Li took a deep breath, his stomach full of hunger could only turn into a helpless sigh: "I knew I shouldn't have let you take care of the remaining food."
Seeing that Mu Li seemed not to be pursuing the matter, Deng Fei immediately perked up, pointed at the production team and said: "A Li, don't mind these details, now our target is them, these bad guys!"
Mu Li said in an annoyed tone: "What did you gamble with them again?"
Deng Fei's face stiffened, revealing a rigid smile: "What do you mean 'gamble'? We were just having a friendly duel?"
"Tell me the truth!" Mu Li gritted his teeth, Blastoise's cannons were already aimed at Deng Fei again.
"We used the right to use one of the treehouses as collateral and gambled for 10 buckets of instant noodles. If we lose, we can only sleep in one treehouse and can't build any more treehouses," Deng Fei quickly explained what had just happened.
"So now we're going to have a tug-of-war with them, best two out of three," Chichi added.
Mu Li sighed deeply: "Destroy them, Hydro Pump."
Blastoise showed two rows of shiny teeth, and the Water-type energy in its two cannons gathered frantically: "Kame, Kame, Kame, Kame..."
The next second, two streams of water converged, and a one-meter thick Hydro Pump directly hit Deng Fei, sending him flying like a meteor.
Chichi couldn't help but swallow, revealing a brilliant smile: "Haha, he totally deserved it."
Seeing Mu Li's gaze turn to him, Chichi immediately shouted: "We can't lose any more people, 6VS6, if we lose, we'll really have to sleep in one room."
A vein popped out on Mu Li's forehead, and he gritted his teeth: "For the sake of the house, I'll let you live for another episode."
Mu Li's gaze swept over the production team, and the people from the production team immediately jumped back in fright.
"It's agreed, no violence!" Wang Xiang shouted tremblingly through a megaphone.
"Tell me, how do we compete?" Mu Li's mouth twitched, impatiently.
Wang Xiang took a deep breath, pointed at the puddle between the two teams and said: "This puddle is the line, whoever's person is pulled into the puddle first means they are eliminated."
Mu Li nodded, just about to go and start the competition, when he heard Wang Xiang say: "You've already lost one round, one more loss and you're out."
Mu Li: "...%￥&*"
Regret was useless, Mu Li sighed helplessly.
"A Li, don't worry, we have a big advantage," Chichi said tentatively.
Mu Li really wanted to blast him to join Deng Fei, but reason ultimately triumphed over emotion.
"Come on, come on," Mu Li urged quickly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Li heard the other side start shouting slogans: "Go, team, if we win, we'll go eat a seafood feast!"
"Feast! Feast! Feast..."
Chichi gritted his teeth: "We can't lose either!"
Mu Li looked at the three dispirited young men and encouraged them: "We can't lose either! Think about Fei Ge and Chichi Ge's snoring, and Big Brother's teeth grinding, do you want to sleep with them?"
Wang Qin, Wang Yijia, and Peng Xiaochang immediately ignited: "No! We don't! Never!"
"Very good!" Mu Li shouted, "Then let's ignite!"
After Chichi and Fan Yizhi exchanged glances, Fan Yizhi complained: "What exactly are they igniting?"
"Can't you tell? They're looking down on you," Chichi also complained.
But no matter what, the young people's passion had already ignited, as for these two old men, Mu Li indicated he didn't care.
According to the tactics, Chichi stood at the very back as the anchor, and the rest could only leave it to fate.
The competition was on the verge of breaking out, and to maintain their sleep quality, the four young people gave it their all: "One, two, three, one, two, three..."
Once upon a time, Mu Li had asked himself a question: "In this life, have you ever fought for your life?"
Now was the time to fight for his life.
Mu Li concentrated his energy, and his mind began to recall the various blessings bestowed upon him by various Legendary Pokémon, trying to find the strength to win from them.
"No, no, why? Why no Victini? Why!" Mu Li used all his strength, but could only watch helplessly as his body was mercilessly dragged away by the opponent.
More importantly, even after the first person, Wang Qin, entered the water, the other side still had no intention of letting them go, pulling them one by one into the mud pit, without exception.
The six of them, Mu Li and the others, were like defeated stray dogs, covered in mud and only able to lie by the puddle, panting heavily, while the black-clothed production team members walked past them with disdain, snorting: "Hmph, I thought they were so great? They still dare to compete in tug-of-war with us?"
After speaking, the production team members, taking advantage of the six people's lack of reaction, immediately took off running, shouting as they ran: "We'll take the treehouse! We'll take the honor! As for the remaining shame, you can divide it among yourselves..."
After an unknown amount of time, Deng Fei, soaking wet, walked up to the group, and seeing the dispirited six, he couldn't help but collapse to the ground.
"Our lives are over."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Li's stomach grumbled uncontrollably.
"Blastoise, could you please catch some more seafood?" Mu Li suddenly sat up, saying somewhat sheepishly.
"Kame!" Blastoise again showed two rows of shiny teeth, gave Mu Li a thumbs-up, and plunged into the sea.
"Why! Why!" Chichi suddenly choked up, "That was clearly my Blastoise!"
"Don't mind these details," Deng Fei said to comfort him, "No matter whose Blastoise it is, a Blastoise that can catch fish is a good Blastoise."
"Exactly," Fan Yizhi echoed, "Now, all of us here are counting on your Blastoise to survive."
"It's just that eating only seafood doesn't taste very good," Mu Li said, "How about using your Farfetch'd's leek to add some flavor?"
"No, impossible!" Wang Yijia refused without thinking, that was the last emergency food, how could it be eaten unless it was a critical moment?
"How about we go into the forest and see if there's anything else to eat?" Peng Xiaochang suggested.
Mu Li was about to agree, but his stomach rumbled again, and he lay back down: "Forget it, let's talk about it after we eat."
Fortunately, although Deng Fei had finished the instant noodles, he at least hadn't eaten the cooking utensils and seasonings. Time was tight, so Blastoise only caught a few conchs and crabs, and a palm-sized filefish. Mu Li and the others could only cook a seafood soup, barely filling their stomachs.
"No, life without a main course is really too difficult," Deng Fei threw the fishbone in his hand to the ground, growling angrily.
Thinking of this, Mu Li's teeth itched with hatred: "Fei Ge, how can you even say that? Five packs of instant noodles, I only had one bite last night!"
"Don't mind these details," Deng Fei said with a righteous look, "Our current goal is to find food."
Mu Li's eyes darted around, and a plan came to mind. He patted Deng Fei's shoulder and said, "Since that's the case, then the task of leading the search for food on the island falls to Fei Ge."
Deng Fei's eyes widened immediately: "What about you?"
Mu Li shrugged: "I'm a man blessed by the Prince of the Sea, of course, I'm going underwater to find you some big lobsters, sea cucumbers, abalones, and other things to replenish yourselves."
Deng Fei stroked his chin and murmured: "Sounds pretty good."
"No!" Deng Fei suddenly woke up with a start, "What if there's danger in this jungle?"
Mu Li said in an annoyed tone: "Is your Electivire for eating? With Electivire around, what are you afraid of? Besides, there are so many of you!"
"But, I always feel like something's not right, but I can't put my finger on what's wrong..." Deng Fei muttered.
Not only Deng Fei, but the other five brothers also looked at Mu Li with the same eyes, but ultimately, under Mu Li's persuasion, the six of them still headed deep into the forest.
After seeing everyone leave, Mu Li also ran to the beach to prepare to go into the sea.
"Why aren't you going into the jungle with them?" Wang Xiang's voice suddenly came out.
Mu Li rolled his eyes impatiently and said, "Do you think I'm an idiot? Going into this forest to find food? Are there wild boars or any edible beasts in there?"
"Probably not, we confirmed before we came that there are no beasts in this area," Wang Xiang replied honestly.
"Then there you have it," Mu Li said annoyed, "Do you really expect them to know what food can be used to fill their stomachs? Without even thinking, you know these guys will definitely make a wasted trip. I estimate they won't even walk a few hundred meters before they start shouting to come back."
"You already know that, and you're not going with them?" Wang Xiang asked curiously.
"If I go with them again, we'll really starve to death tonight," Mu Li said annoyed, "Wouldn't that be exactly what you want then?"
"So you're going to the bottom of the sea to catch fish now? Are you perhaps forgetting your Air Force buff?" Wang Xiang mocked.
"Heh heh!" Mu Li sneered, "Although I have the Air Force buff, I don't believe these things at the bottom of the sea can still escape!"
With that, Mu Li plunged into the bottom of the sea.
Wang Xiang's face on the boat suddenly changed: "Damn it! He really found a bug!"
