Chapter 7

Early the next morning, I grabbed my knife and got ready to head out to look for food.

Lu Mingshen and Fang Cheng’an volunteered to come with me, so I taught them how to weave fish traps and we set them in the river we’d found yesterday.

In the afternoon, the two of them went to check the snares we’d set up under the trees.

I went alone to collect the fish traps, and didn’t expect Li Qing to follow me.

Catching me off guard, he suddenly grabbed me around the waist from behind and tackled me to the ground by the riverbank.

My shoulder and back slammed straight into the gravel. The pain made me suck in a sharp breath.

Cursing nonstop, Li Qing started yanking at my clothes. “Bitch, what the hell are you so smug about? You think you can act all high and mighty in a shithole like this?!

I grabbed a rock from beside me and smashed it down hard on his head.

“Garbage like you actually manages to make money in the industry? The people paying for you must have shit for brains.”

The danmaku that had just been flooding the screen with a few dozen million lines calling Li Qing scum, trash, and worse than pigs and dogs suddenly froze for a moment.

“Stop, stop, stop, the kid knows he was wrong, boohoo.”

“Fuck, I spent over a thousand bucks boosting his ranking. I’ve never wasted money this bad, not even feeding a dog.”

“Upstairs, please don’t insult dogs.”

“My brain really was stuffed with shit! Sister Beilan is the best!”

“From now on, my money is only for Sister Beilan.”

“Beat this animal to death! I’m so fucking mad!”
