“The two of you can eat the rest.” Sharon could tell that the two of them were embarrassed.

“Yes, we’re already full,” Melinda said.

“Originally, you guys were doing physical work today, so your physical consumption was relatively high. It’s all thanks to you guys. Otherwise, the three of us girls really wouldn’t know how to complete all the missions,” Sharon said gratefully.

“That’s right, so both of you have to eat more,” Melinda said.

“It’s very hard on everyone. It’s only right for the two of us to share some of the physical work,” Dan said in embarrassment.

“That’s right. You three skinny and weak girls look like three bolts of lightning from afar,” Shane said. “How can I let you do hard work?”

Many fans in the comments section were discussing fervently.

[Sharon’s EQis so high. She’s clearly the soul of the team, but she keeps praising others.]

[My family, Shane and Dan are so gentlemanly.]

[Although I don’t like Melissa, she eats quietly and is very cute when she doesn’t speak, right?]

[I don’t like this Melissa.]

[What happened to our Melissa?]

[Melissa is actually nothing much. It’s just that her EQis a little low and she’s too self-centered.]

[That’s because Melissa is showing her true self.]

[Melissa’s retarded fans, shut up.]

“There’s still some chicken left. Why don’t we save it for tomorrow?” Shane suggested. Although he was only half full, they were a team. He was embarrassed to eat the rest.

“Listen to me. Eat them all. We have plans for tomorrow,” Sharon said confidently.

“Is there meat to eat tomorrow?” Melinda looked at Sharon expectantly.

“Of course,” Sharon said confidently. “We’ll catch fish tomorrow.”

The next day, Sharon and the others woke up early and came to the river they had discovered yesterday.

When they were catching frogs yesterday, Melinda discovered that there were fish in the river beside the pond, so everyone decided to try their luck today. However, there was no fishing rod or bait, so everyone discussed and could only try the harpoon fish. The difficulty of the harpoon fish could be imagined, but there was no other way to eat fish meat. They could only make a Hail Mary effort.

“Let’s go pick up some branches and use them as harpoons,” Shane said.

After everyone picked up the branch, Dan used his knife to sharpen one end of the branch. This simple harpoon was done.

Sharon and Melinda were eager to try with their harpoons.

Dan took off his shoes, rolled up his pants, and stepped into the river.

“This water is so cold,” Dan said with a sigh.

In the morning, although the sun had already risen, the temperature on the ground had not risen so quickly. Coupled with the fact that the water was relatively cold, Dan shivered slightly from the cold.

Sharon also took off her shoes and stepped into the water. At first, she felt that the water was very cold, but as she slowly adapted to the water temperature, the discomfort would slowly subside.

Melinda and Shane also held harpoons and slowly stepped into the water. Only Melissa stood by the river, looking like she had no intention of entering the water.

“Are you planning to stand there forever?” Sharon asked impatiently.

“How can we go down when the water is so cold?” Melissa said righteously.

“Besides, girls will fall sick if they catch a cold.”

Sharon felt that what she said made sense, and she actually couldn’t refute it.

“If you don’t want to contribute, of course. If we catch fish, don’t eat a bite. If you agree, I have no problem,” Sharon said.

She and Melinda were also girls. They went fishing in the cold water and were not obligated to share the fruits of their labor with those who wanted to gain without working.

Melissa stood rooted to the ground and hesitated for a long time. In the end, she took off her shoes, rolled up her pants, and entered the water.

“Ah, there’s a fish here!” Melinda suddenly shouted excitedly.

Melinda hurriedly used her harpoon to fish, but the fish escaped too fast and disappeared in a short while. Melinda was a little disappointed.

“It’s fine. Take your time.” Sharon patted Melinda’s arm and comforted her.

“There’s one here,” Shane suddenly said excitedly. However, he still couldn’t catch the fish even after chasing it with a Herculean effort.

“It’s okay,” Sharon comforted. “It’s not that easy to fish.”

Sharon knew that spearfish weren’t that easy to begin with. Not only did one have to be fast and powerful at spearfishing, but there were also other things to pay attention to. Sharon remembered what she had learned in her physics textbook.

Due to the refraction of light, the position of the fish seen by the human eye was different from the actual position of the fish. Therefore, when the harpoo:

was lowered, it had to aim below the fish.

“Remember to fork under the fish,” Sharon reminded.

However, after Melinda and Shane discovered the two fish, Sharon only discovered another fish at noon, but she couldn’t catch it no matter what..
