[Wow, it’s finally started. I’m really looking forward to today’s show! ]

[Come on, Tan Changqing! Jiang Baizhi is the best!]

[Qu Qingdai is so beautiful, I love her! ]

Izumo Valley looks so mysterious. I wonder what challenges await them.

【Everyone, keep working hard. I believe you can do it! 】

【Don’t be afraid of difficulties, move forward bravely! 】

【…】

At this moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room filled the entire screen.

"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, everyone is here! Now, the exciting treasure hunt officially begins! During this process, everyone must pay attention to their own safety! We must unite and work together to find those hidden treasure chests!" The director said loudly and excitedly.

"Okay!" The guests shouted in unison, their voices full of fighting spirit and expectation.

"Okay, then let's go!" As soon as the director finished speaking, the guests followed the previously arranged team order, one after another, and stepped into the mysterious and challenging Izumo Valley with high spirits.

Ling Quan took the lead and walked in front, followed closely by the other guests. Jiang Baizhi followed closely behind Ling Quan and reminded him with concern: "Be careful and watch the road."

"I know, Baizhi, don't worry. I've already walked this path yesterday," Ling Quan responded. He then turned to look at the guests behind him and shouted, "Everyone, follow closely. The path is relatively flat at the beginning, but there will be some steep slopes later on. Everyone, please lend a hand."

"Okay, you should be careful too." Tan Changqing, who was left behind, responded.

They walked carefully along the flat path and came to a river. At this moment, they saw two or three staff members standing by the river. When the staff members saw them, they waved to them enthusiastically and asked them to come over.

"What level is this?" Bai Shao asked in confusion.

"Hello, welcome to the bamboo raft making site. Please look at the river in front of you. Originally, we have prepared bamboo rafts for everyone to use for crossing the river. However, due to the carelessness of the staff, there should have been two bamboo rafts, but now there is only one. Therefore, you need to make the remaining bamboo raft by yourself. We have prepared the tools for you. Please watch the video explanation first to familiarize yourself with the production elements. After that, it will be up to you to do it yourself. Let's hurry up and start making it." The staff explained in detail.

The guests watched as staff members brought out two tablets, each showing a video about bamboo raft making. They quickly divided into groups and stared intently at the tablets, watching the explanation of the raft-making process. However, before anyone could fully grasp the video, the video ended. After the staff put the tablets away, the guests began making their own bamboo rafts.

"It happened too fast. I didn't even have time to observe it carefully before the video disappeared." Lin Zhirou said helplessly.

"I have read it carefully and I remember a lot. Let's get started." Chao Yan said as she started to act.

"Yes, yes, let's get moving first." Tan Changqing also echoed.

"First, everyone should select the tough and straight bamboos, and then arrange them in a certain order." Qu Qingdai said in an orderly manner.

They each have their own division of labor and work closely together.

Qu Qingdai and Jiang Baizhi were responsible for selecting tough and straight bamboos and carefully checking the quality of each one.

Ling Quan and Tan Changqing moved the selected bamboos to the appropriate location and arranged them at certain intervals.

Bai Ren and Chao Yan used strong ropes to tie the bamboo together, tightening the ropes at each point to ensure the raft's stability. During the tying process, Lin Zhirou was responsible for checking the raft's flatness and balance, and making timely adjustments if any problems were found.

Everyone worked together, focusing and carefully carrying out each step. Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of their foreheads, but they didn't care and continued to concentrate on the work of making bamboo rafts.

When the audience in the live broadcast room saw the guests working hard together to make the bamboo rafts, their emotions were instantly ignited and they all enthusiastically expressed their opinions.

[Wow, they are so united. Everyone is working towards a common goal. It's so touching!]

Seeing how serious they are is truly amazing! This spirit of teamwork is something we should all learn from!

[This kind of teamwork atmosphere is really great, it makes people's blood boil! ]

【Come on, you are the best! 】

As time passed, the originally rough bamboo raft gradually became more solid and firm under the meticulous work of the guests. Before long, after their joint efforts, a complete bamboo raft finally appeared before everyone's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the staff meticulously checked every part of the bamboo raft to ensure its safety and guarantee that it could be used with confidence.

Then, they carefully pushed the two bamboo rafts into the water. Bai Ren, Chao Yan, Qu Qingdai, and Lin Zhirou boarded one of the rafts, while Ling Quan, Tan Changqing, and Jiang Baizhi boarded the other.

Afterwards, they picked up the oars and began paddling rhythmically, slowly moving the bamboo raft towards the other side of the river. In the water, the raft swayed with the waves, while the guests rowed with full concentration, striving to maintain their balance and steadily moving towards their destination.

"Oh, we're finally here. This journey has been so difficult!" Chao Yan sighed with relief as she stepped onto the shore.

"Yeah, I'm a little tired indeed." Bai Ren said as he put a hand on Chao Yan's shoulder.

"Hurry up, everyone! Don't waste time! Let's get going! We don't know what challenges await us." Jiang Baizhi urged anxiously, the plot of the original novel already surfacing in her mind. By this time, the fake daughter had already left the show, and the plot she had seen revolved around the heroine. She knew clearly that there were still a series of arduous tasks ahead, such as rock climbing and crossing stone bridges, and time was running out.

"Can't you even take a breath? Really? Humph, let's go." Although Bai Ren said a little reluctantly, he still stepped forward.

Then, the group began to walk towards the next place. Their figures gradually moved farther and farther away and disappeared at the end of the road.

Following the map's instructions, Qu Qingdai and her group trudged along a winding forest path. The path snaked through the dense woods like a long, winding snake. After a long trek, they finally reached their destination. A towering, steep, and precipitous rock face loomed before them.

At the bottom of the rock face, they found staff waiting patiently, as if awaiting their arrival. So, they hurried over and asked impatiently, "Are they asking us to climb?"

When the staff heard their question, they answered without hesitation, "Yes, that's true."

"Ah, no, I can't do that." When Lin Zhirou heard this, an embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face. She frowned and said with fear.

"This is not a team task. Only four people are needed to complete it. The rest of the people can take the cable car. Which four do you want to choose?" The staff explained to them in detail.

"Well...then let the four men on our side go up, is that okay?" Tan Changqing looked at Chao Yan, Bai Ren, and Ling Quan in turn, asking for their opinions.

"No problem for me." Bai Ren has always loved adventure. He thinks challenges like rock climbing are just a piece of cake and no problem at all.

"I can try." Ling Quan also expressed his willingness to try without hesitation.

"I... I have acrophobia, I'm afraid..." Chao Yan looked embarrassed, with a hint of worry and uneasiness in his voice, and a worried expression on his face, as if his heart was full of fear and terror.

"Then I'll do it," Jiang Baizhi's voice suddenly broke the silence, her voice firm. She knew full well that in the original novel, Chao Yan was unable to complete the task due to her fear of heights, and it was the heroine who bravely stepped forward, earning her widespread favor. This time, she was determined to complete the task, originally meant for the heroine, herself, to prove her ability to everyone.

"Are you okay with this, Xiaozhi?" Lin Zhirou asked with a hint of confusion on her face.

"Believe me, I can do it." Jiang Baizhi responded confidently, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, as if she had infinite power.

Qu Qingdai looked at Jiang Baizhi's confident expression and thought to herself, "As expected, in your previous life, you concealed your fear of heights, worked hard to overcome it, and ultimately completed the mission. It wasn't until after the climb that you revealed your fear of heights, earning countless praise and recognition. But this time, I won't let you succeed so easily."

"But, Xiaozhi, don't you also have acrophobia?" Qu Qingdai said in feigned surprise, with a barely perceptible cunningness on her face.

"What, Xiaozhi, you are afraid of heights too? That won't do." Lin Zhirou's face was full of astonishment when she heard this, and she hurriedly said.

"Yes, Baizhi, fear of heights is no joke." Ling Quan also said immediately, his tone full of concern and worry.

"That's right, Jiang Baizhi, don't go if you're afraid of heights. If something happens, it will be bad for everyone." Bai Ren also spoke, with a hint of seriousness in his words.

"Yes, that won't do." Chao Yan echoed, with a look of disapproval on her face.

"I..." Jiang Baizhi was speechless for a moment. Before she could express her original little thoughts, they were broken by Qu Qingdai.

"Let me do it," Qu Qingdai said calmly with a smile on her face. "I've done rock climbing a few times abroad before. Although the cliffs here aren't as steep and high, I think I can do it."

"Is it really possible?" Tan Changqing asked with some doubt.

"Yes, I can do it." Qu Qingdai replied affirmatively.

"Okay, it's your turn. Come and put on your equipment." Ling Quan said.

At this moment, Jiang Baizhi watched Qu Qingdai go rock climbing with them, a flicker of jealousy and resentment in her eyes. She couldn't understand why Qu Qingdai knew she was afraid of heights, given that they hadn't had much interaction...

"Okay, Xiaozhi, let's take the cable car." Lin Zhirou's words interrupted Jiang Baizhi's thoughts and she came back to her senses.

"Yeah, okay, Chaoyan, come too." Jiang Baizhi said, trying her best to make her voice sound natural.

"Okay." Chao Yan responded with a hint of helplessness on her face.

Below the cliff, four people, equipped with climbing gear, were ready to go. At the command of the staff, Bai Ren took the lead like an arrow from a bow, using his hands and feet to climb up swiftly and steadily. He held on tightly to the protruding rocks, moving his body nimbly, demonstrating tremendous strength and skill.

Not to be outdone, Tan Changqing followed Bai Ren's lead and began climbing. His movements were skillful and smooth, each step firm and powerful. With his efforts, he quickly caught up with Bai Ren and gradually opened up the gap.

Ling Quan followed suit. His climbing style differed slightly from the previous two, emphasizing rhythm and balance, each application of force perfectly timed. His figure undulated across the rock face like an agile monkey.

Finally, Qu Qingdai also began her climb. Though a woman, she displayed courage and perseverance no less than the others. She climbed cautiously, taking every step with care, striving to overcome her inner fear. Her figure gradually rose higher on the cliff face, intertwining with the figures of the other three, creating a vibrant and challenging scene.

Elsewhere, Jiang Baizhi, Lin Zhirou, and Chao Yan, who were sitting in the cable car, also slowly moved to the top of the stone wall. From the cable car, they could clearly see the four people struggling to climb.

"Wow, they are so awesome!" Lin Zhirou couldn't help but exclaim, her face full of admiration and appreciation.

"Yes, it's really not easy for a girl like Qu Qingdai to keep up with their speed." Chao Yan also praised sincerely, with a hint of approval in her eyes.

"Yes, yes, I really underestimated her. What do you think, Xiaozhi?" Lin Zhirou turned to look at Jiang Baizhi.

Jiang Baizhi looked back at her and casually replied, "Hahaha, yes." However, beneath her seemingly nonchalant expression, she concealed deep jealousy and resentment. Her eyes were fixed on Qu Qingdai, who was still climbing, and she cursed inwardly, hoping that something unexpected would happen to her during the climb.

But things went against their wishes. Not long after, Qu Qingdai and the other four successfully reached the top of the stone wall and successfully met up with Jiang Baizhi and the other three.
