I was slacking off on a dating reality show when the female guests treated me like a treasure chest.

When Chen Nian passed by the beach and saw the sand sculpture, he was stunned.

"Those aren't the five of us boys, are they?" Chen Nian asked.

Xia Yao looked over upon hearing this, blinked, thinking she was seeing things, but it really was the five boys.

"I must say, Liu Ting has great taste. You five are really lucky. Besides the Tianya Haijiao Stone, there might now be five statues of you gazing at the horizon," Xia Yao said quietly.

"....."

"She has many masterpieces, but it's a waste of her talent in making dolls. She should become a master craftsman," Chen Nian muttered. This was undoubtedly Liu Ting's technique.

"But they really do look quite similar." Xia Yao looked at the five statues, somewhat surprised. "In that case, we might lose?"

Compared to the tasks of everyone else today, their fishing task seemed relatively easy.

Chen Nian saw through her thoughts and said, "We should win. You've never fished before, so you don't know how difficult it is."

"Ah, isn't it easy? Although it seems to take a bit long." Xia Yao said, puzzled.

"Naive. It's normal to not catch a single fish for hours sometimes." Chen Nian felt it was necessary to take her fishing again next time so she could experience the agony of not having the beginner's gift pack.

As they spoke, the two had already returned to the entrance of the villa.

Suhe and Su Xiao were sorting through the things they had found on the beach in the courtyard. There was trash, as well as some natural materials such as seashells.

On the other side, Wen Jingran and Tang Xi were lying there in a daze. Their mission was quick, but also very dangerous.

The only ones enjoying themselves were Zhou Yu and Qi Feng, who were lying there wearing straw hats, basking in the last rays of the setting sun.

Upon seeing Chen Nian and Xia Yao return, the two greeted them lazily, then took a sip of coconut juice and continued lying down.

"What's going on with these two?" Xia Yao asked in surprise.

"Oh, they went to collect cards and then exchanged them for a lot of food. Isn't that enjoying themselves?" Sukh said.

"Don't worry, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they'll probably be setting up tents soon, basically dropping out of the championship race," Tang Xi said.

"We've already had our fun, let's talk about the rest later," Zhou Yu said casually, not minding at all that they would have to set up a tent later.

Just as everyone was chatting, Li Tian and Liu Ting returned, accompanied by the housekeeper.

Seeing that everyone had returned, the housekeeper checked Chen Nian and Xia Yao's haul and then handed the data over to the program's judging panel. While they waited, several staff members brought over the makeshift tent.

Looking at the tents, Chen Nian felt a pang of emotion. He had gone on an outdoor picnic with Lin Ran one year, but a sudden rain shower came, and the dozen or so of them were getting soaked while setting up the tents.

Thinking about this, Chen Nian realized that he hadn't gone out with Lin Ran for a long time. At first, he could still go along, but Lin Ran always paid for it, so gradually he stopped going.

Looking back now, I realize I was truly blessed but didn't appreciate it. Following my sister, I never had to worry about food or drink!

The butler's voice interrupted everyone's thoughts the next moment.

"Everyone, the selection scores are in."

"Well then, I'll announce the difference between first and second place, and I won't announce the others." With that, the butler looked at the scores on the cards in his hand and said, "First place: Chen Nian and Xia Yao; second place: Li Tian and Liu Ting."

"The scores for these two groups are 98 and 95 respectively."

"Great, we are the champions!"

"ha?"

"Why did we only get 95 points? Mine is top-notch master craftsmanship!" Liu Ting muttered, expressing her dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing this, the butler's lips twitched. Those five silly figures were just sitting there. He had just heard the director and the others muttering that they might be used as scary puppets in the middle of the night and scare people.

But this score is clearly based on the skill level.

"The craftsmanship is superb, but it's not very practical." The butler could only answer Liu Ting's question in a serious tone.

"It's natural that the craftsmanship is superb, but what do you mean by 'not very practical'?" Liu Ting blinked, indicating her confusion.

The housekeeper could not find a reason to answer her.

"It's scary. If you pass by there in the middle of the night, wouldn't you be startled?" Zhou Yu said speechlessly.

"Hehe, it is a bit scary." Even the usually honest Suhe couldn't help but chime in.

Seeing that no one appreciated its value, Liu Ting sighed, "Fine, all my hard work has been wasted. I was hoping this could become a scenic spot in the resort in the future."

"..." Chen Nian and the others expressed their gratitude in their hearts.

However, everyone was curious about who would win the championship, and they all asked Xia Yao what was going on.

When Xia Yao mentioned fishing today, everyone present became interested and thought about trying it out sometime.

When you come to the beach, you can't miss the barbecue.

Fishing and grilling your own food is undoubtedly the most fun thing to do.

With everything settled, Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief. He really owed a lot to Xia Yao this time; without her luck, it would have been questionable whether he could have completed the mission.

At this moment, the sun, hanging on the horizon, still showed a crescent shape, and its golden afterglow bathed the entire courtyard in a crimson glow.

Chen Nian lay down on the recliner and borrowed a bottle of juice from Zhou Yu. All he wanted to do was clear his mind.

However, there is obviously no time for that. With today's championship, there are still many things to do.

As the champions, he and Xia Yao also had to help set up the tents with the other guest groups.

After all, almost no one has eaten anything since this morning.

So, under the last rays of the setting sun, a group of people were busy at the beach square. The girls were reading the instructions, while the boys were in charge of setting up the tents.

Chen Nian and Xia Yao, as part of the mobile team, shuttled back and forth.

At this moment, Chen Nian didn't want to say that he could set up the tent, otherwise everyone would probably be counting on him to come later.

Despite this, he kept pointing and gesturing. By the time four tents were set up on the square, it was already dark, and the sky above them was filled with stars.

The bright moon, the stars, and the sound of waves crashing in my ears.

Everyone was exhausted and sitting on the beach, looking up at the stars. The next moment, someone mentioned that they were going to mooch off Chen Nian and Xia Yao's starry dinner. Immediately, all eyes fell on the two of them.

"No, that's a meal for two!" Chen Nian said speechlessly.

"Isn't it supposed to be an all-you-can-eat seafood buffet?" Liu Ting wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth.

"Ah, there is such a saying, I remember it too." Suhe nodded seriously.

"Let's go, let's go have a big meal with Chen Nian and Xia Yao!"

Seeing the eight of them surround her, Xia Yao blinked, still unaware of what was happening.

"So, are we having a big meal together tonight?" she asked curiously.

"It should be," Chen Nian sighed. "With so many people scrambling for food, I don't know if there will be enough to eat."

"This championship seems like a huge loss," Xia Yao said with a smile, but she didn't seem to mind at all.
