Futuristic Gourmet’s Spoiled Marriage Chapter 20: Field Survival Training
Translated by Serena Love
For the field survival training, the garrison of the Y-717 military asteroid sent battleships to the ecological nature areas in the southern hemisphere. There are woods, grasslands, swamps, lakes, rivers, deserts, mountains, glaciers, etc. For each group, the landing locations are random.
Each team is equipped with one of the simplest light-powered military speed vehicles.
Each also handed a wristwatch-style temporary communicator, which also doubled as a navigator, a recorder and an alarm.
Combatants can also choose to have a saber or an energy gun.
The captain of each team also received a small one-cubic-meter space button. It contains the necessary equipment for life in the wild, such as luminous energy stones, tents, sleeping bags, water filters, military kettles, and so on.
Because Ling Yaoyao is a food assistant, in addition to a standard pot, a simple grill, and simple seasonings, she can also choose some kitchen utensils and any other seasonings.
Ling Yaoyao unceremoniously selected a lot, even ordered two more pots. Even the soldier in charge of the distribution could not help but ask strangely, "You want so many. Can you use it?"
Ling Yaoyao was very surprised but said casually, "I don't need to carry it anyway!"
These things are stacked and placed in the space button, and it doesn't take up much space.
In addition to living in the wild for three days, they also have to look for scorecards scattered everywhere, ranging from 1 to 10 points. These scorecards may be hung on a tall tree or on the belly of a beast. The easier to get, the lower the score.
As long as they are within 100 meters of the scorecard, the card's specific location and score prompts will appear on the navigation map of their communication device.
In addition, the communication device can also see the real-time scores and rankings of all the team. Different schools and different teams can grab each other's scorecards, as long as they don't hurt the opponent.
The higher the total score obtained, the more reward the team will get.
The reward for the first place is said to be the privilege of exemption from attending class during the freshman year (as long as you take the exam); an accommodation in a single-family villa area on campus for one year; an S-class mecha; and on-campus electronics library S-level reading permission for one year (which means you can read all non-top secret materials).
About the last item, Ling Yaoyao is somewhat interested. It just so happened that her teammates also took a fancy to the other three items. Each one seemed confident to take the first place.
In her team, Ling Yaoyao only knows one person, Qiao Mingyao. He is from the mecha Department, with SS-level mental power, S plus physique, 185cm, and the reward he wants is to be exempted from class.
The captain of the team is Wei Yuan from the battle command department. He looks very gentle and handsome. He is Qiao Mingyao's cousin and the son of General Wei Heng, commander of the Thorns Legion. He has SS mental strength, an A-level physique, 188cm, and the reward he wants is to stay in the villa.
There is also a very handsome girl named Ye Xi with neat short hair. She is also from the mecha department.
Although she is a commoner, she has very good close-range combat skills. She is Qiao Mingyao's high school classmate, with S-level mental power, S-level Physique, 178cm tall, and she wants the S-class mecha.
Uh...
Their height is listed... to substantially show how much Ling Yaoyao looks like as a 163cm white and tender, soft little sister...
Ling Yaoyao suddenly understood the original owner a little bit. Why she likes to put on strong makeup and must wear 7cm high-heeled shoes every time, so although there are many handsome men and beauties in the interstellar era, she can still be comparable.
The team led by Wei Yuan can be said to be at the top level of beauty.
They have the battle department's school grass (Wei Yuan), the mecha department's school grass (Ye Xi), the mecha department's school flower (Qiao Mingyao), and the food auxiliary therapy department's school flower (Ling Yaoyao).
[T/N: school grass (xiàocǎo = 校草) means the most handsome boy in school, while school flower (xiàohuā = 校花) is the prettiest girl in school.]
This is from the voting from new students during the past month's military training. Even though they had the difficult environment of not being able to get on the star network and had to rely on the discerning eyes of the masses.
Everyone, except for Qiao Mingyao, agrees regarding the switched gender of school flower and school grass in the Mecha department.
After each squad received their equipment, they were randomly dropped out of the battleship. They had to rely on their own speed car to choose a place nearby to land.
The rationed military speed car is a very retro style, imitating the two rows of seats in the front and rear of the ancient earth's cars. In order to facilitate high-definition satellite monitoring, it is a convertible model and has to be driven manually.
As girls, Ling Yaoyao and Ye Xi ride in the back row of the speed car together.
As soon as she got in the car, Ye Xi smiled slightly at Ling Yaoyao. She lifted her handsome bangs that covered half of her eyes and asked Ling Yaoyao, "Hello, this beautiful and lovely girl. My name is Ye Xi, my alias is Commander Ye. Do you have a partner? It doesn't matter if you have one. You will soon want to break up with him/her. Because you will fall in love with me within the next three days!"
Just listening to Ye Xi's words, you will feel that this person is so narcissistic and awkward. But when you see her angular and handsome face, sharp and beautiful phoenix eyes, you will feel that she is super charming and attractive. She is not annoying at all.
Ling Yaoyao blinked and replied, "Really? I'll wait and see!"
Qiao Mingyao, in the front driver's seat, looked back at the two of them and said uncomfortably, "Ugly Ye, can you be a normal girl?"
Ye Xi shook her index finger and said, "NONONO, I only chase beauties who have scored 90 points or more. This one next to me is a 100% beauty that could only be met once in a thousand years. It would be a pity if I missed it!"
[T/N: In the raw, she actually said "NONONO" in English.]
The co-pilot Wei Yuan said with a smile, "Little Yaoyao, don't care about these two guys. Since the first time they met, they were either bickering or fighting every time they met. They used to do this boring thing of comparing who can get more beautiful sisters."
Ling Yaoyao thought Little Qiao's beauty was very interesting, and Commander Ye was very charming. But Wei Yuan, she found that he seemed to be watching her secretly.
If a stranger meets for the first time and calls her "Little Yaoyao," she may just take a step back and say, "I am not familiar with you," with a noble and glamorous face. But with Wei Yuan, she did not feel uncomfortable or dislike it.
Ling Yaoyao smiled and said, "I guess Commander Ye won."
Wei Yuan praised, "Smart girl."
Qiao Mingyao quickly protested, "Isn't it just one more than me? That's totally an accident..."
Ling Yaoyao: "Little Qiao, you should be flirting with Ye Xi, then you will win."
Qiao Mingyao once again emphasized his sexuality and preferences. "I only like big breasts and long legs girls!"
Ye Xi smiled and said, "I like Yaoyao."
All in all, the teammates seem to get along well. No one rejected her because of her "weakest scum of physique" or because she is in the auxiliary therapy department.
However, to Ling Yaoyao's surprise, Qiao Mingyao unintentionally revealed a sentence, "Wei Yuan asked me to invite you to join our team. I think he is pleasing to your eyes, but you really want to guard against this smiling fox face."
Ling Yaoyao looked at Wei Yuan in surprise. "Huh?"
Wei Yuan explained, "I heard that Major General Ling Xuan went to the auxiliary therapy department because his sister was in the auxiliary therapy department. I originally had a cousin sister of the same age who was the daughter of my uncle. She also has the blood of the Green Star, but unfortunately, she was robbed by the Star Robber shortly after she was born, and she was gone... Maybe it's because you too have a Green Star appearance, I feel very cordial with you, thinking that if my little girl is still here, she should be this age too."
Ling Yaoyao nodded in understanding, "That's why!"
In the original novel, Wei Yuan, Qiao Mingyao, and Ye Xi did not seem to appear. Perhaps, she had forgotten and only remembered the most important main story.
After she came to this world, she changed to the Department of Food Auxiliary Therapy, and the fact that she had liked Xiao Ming was discovered by the Ling family in advance, leading Shen Yunjin to introduce her to Qiao Mingyao. She also took the initiative to hug the golden thigh of her God of War brother, which made him return to the Imperial Capital much earlier than in the novel and personally gave her military training.
Maybe it is the so-called butterfly effect. If you choose a different path, you will encounter different people, and the established destiny can also be changed.
And many things that are not written in the original novel do not mean that they do not exist in the real world. If there are loopholes in the original novel, they will be automatically fixed in reality.
What she has to do is to remember that the Ling family must never stand in the battle for the throne. So she cannot trouble Su Qinghe and cannot fall in love with anyone from the Xiao family.
For other things, she can live the life she wants.
In the Y-717 Asteroid Military Command, in the real-time monitoring room for military training:
The monitoring equipment can only see the video. They can't hear the student's conversation unless they press the intercom to call for help.
Looking at the surveillance video, Ling Yaoyao and her three teammates all talked happily. Ling Xuan's heart was almost upside down.
How could he think that in this team, only Qiao Mingyao is his potential rival?
Wei Yuan's excellence does not lie in his physical talent, but more importantly, his wisdom and acumen. He is the heir of the Thorns Legion that they took a lot of effort to cultivate!
The relationship between the Wei family and the Ling family is acceptable, but it is not good enough to allow Wei Yuan to take the initiative to talk to Ling Yaoyao, the adopted daughter of the Ling family. Wei Yuan must have some purpose in doing this.
As for that Ye Xi, who was called the "Girl Killer," she is also a big disaster!
Although heterosexuality is still the mainstream in the interstellar era, male-male relationships, female-female, or even cross-species love is legal.
Ling Xuan was very worried, for fear that this Ye Xi would bend his sister. If she came back and told him that she found that girls' love is true love...
And this was just the beginning.
Seeing that they are almost on the ground, the few people who have been chatting finally talk about business. "It's almost noon. Let's find a place to eat first. The forest looks good, there must be a lot of ingredients, and we can fetch water from the river."
When someone said it was time to eat, Ling Yaoyao straightened up immediately and said very enthusiastically, "Okay, okay! I'll make good food for you!"
In the past month, the morning training time is very tight, so she can only make some simple food. At noon, she eats ordinary food in the cafeteria. In the evening, she relies on her brother to help her. She was so tired that she just wanted to sleep, and it was not advisable to eat before going to bed. Her tastebuds had almost faded from her mouth.
Who knows, Qiao Mingyao was the first to protest. "Auntie... grandma... Please. I just want to eat. Don't make trouble!"
Ye Xi said very gentlemanly, "How can we bother you with such rough work of cooking? Such a beautiful woman, it's not good if you got burned accidentally."
Even Wei Yuan said, "Little Yaoyao, we have teamed up for mercenary bounty missions during the summer vacation. We still have some wildlife experience. You just need to follow us."
...Wait! She is a food assistant therapist! Even if she still can't make food with auxiliary therapy effect in reality, she can't do nothing and only eat, drink, and receive the score, right?
Seeing that the three teammates all had an attitude of "if you are not making trouble, you are already helping," she decided to observe what they were going to do before talking.
If she can eat delicious grilled meat and drink delicious fish soup without having to do it herself, she is also very satisfied.
Ling Yaoyao followed the three people with tall and long legs to the woods rich in food. Because the danger in this area is not serious, there are not many scorecards, and there are only a few 1 to 3 points scorecards.
The three combatants instructed Ling Yaoyao to watch the car and yelled loudly when there is danger. They began to look for food nearby, and there was a very clear division of labor.
The beauty Qiao said with a proud face, "I know more than 20 kinds of edible wild fruits. We don't need to be afraid of the problems of bad cooking or bad roasting!"
Wei Yuan also smiled slightly. "I know about ten kinds of plants that can be eaten raw. It just needs to be cleaned and cut into small pieces to make a simple and delicious fruit and vegetable salad. Yaoyao will definitely like it!"
Ye Xi became more confident. "I'm mainly responsible for finding trees with birds' nests. Eggs are easy. You can make boiled eggs just with plain water!
She was shocked and said, "Wait, please don't say that we will only have these for lunch?"
The three looked at her, begging to compliment. "How is it? Isn't it very rich!"
Ling Yaoyao pointed to the woods. "You guys? Look at the rabbits bouncing around! The wild boar with strong limbs! The golden pheasant with all the flowery feathers! There are fat fish in the river! Don't you all want to eat it?"
Wei Yuan: "We don't know how to cook it! Do you want to eat raw meat?"
Ye Xi: "The half-cooked ones are unpalatable, and the burnt ones are super unpalatable!"
Qiao Mingyao: "They have all sort of dirty things in their bodies, which is disgusting..."
Ling Yaoyao couldn't sit still anymore and raised her sleeves. "I will cook it! In terms of eating, you all have to listen to my arrangements! Qiao Mingyao, besides picking wild fruits, you will find two rabbits or wild boars! Ye Xi, besides picking out birds' eggs, you will catch two pheasants and come back! Wei Yuan, you catch a fish in the river..."
Mother****, she didn't come here to eat just a few wild fruits. She saw the forests full of pure and natural, delicious wild ingredients to eat. If she missed it, her heart would bleed, okay!
When they see how Ling Yaoyao took out the simple kitchen utensils from the space button and began to play around, the three combat elements glanced at each other.
Wei Yuan first compromised and said, "Give the little girl a chance. It won't take much time."
Ye Xi smiled, "If Beauty Yaoyao made it, even if it is a dark dish, I am willing to eat it all."
Qiao Mingyao saw that the two of them were planning to cooperate, so he had to spread his hands and said, "...Forget it, at worst, I will eat the wild fruits I picked myself!"
Because these people are not far away, there is no danger. Ling Yaoyao began to look for the ingredients she needed nearby. Soon, she discovered many ingredients such as mushrooms, young bamboo shoots, green vegetables, wild leek, Chinese yam, mountain pepper, garlic, wild ginger, and many other low-level medicinal materials. It is said that the garrison will randomly sprinkle seeds of low and medium-grade food and medicinal materials on a regular basis to improve the freshmen's quality of life in the wild.
However, most of these ingredients are treated as weeds and ignored by most new students.
Only a few people can recognize these ingredients, but they only know that they can eat them. After a few people try it, they find that it tastes better than eating wild fruits.
Wei Yuan quickly caught two big fishes and threw them on the shore. Then he came over to help Ling Yaoyao get things and clean them.
Looking at the mess of food that Ling Yaoyao has found, he hesitated and reminded her, "The mushrooms and tender bamboo shoots might taste okay after being boiled in water. Although the other ingredients are also ingredients, they are not tasty... and, is this something that can be eaten?"
Wei Yuan curiously pointed to a few thick and long yams that Ling Yaoyao asked him to dig out.
Ling Yaoyao said, "Of course! This one is rich in starch and can be used as a staple food!"
Wei Yuan's hesitant expression didn't look like he believed it.
However, seeing Ling Yaoyao grabbing one of the fat fish that was bigger than her small arm and starting to kill the fish very neatly, Wei Yuan was a little shaken when she removed the internal organs.
The little girl is really familiar with this. Even as a big man, he doesn't dare to touch fish that smells strong and slippery with his hands.
After a while, Qiao Mingyao and Ye Xi also returned. They brought back two rabbits, a small wild boar, two pheasants, a bag of wild fruits, and a few eggs.
Looking at the ingredients, Ling Yaoyao had a plan in mind—two fish, one for yam fish soup and the other for grilled fish.
Since there are two pheasants, make one into pheasant stewed with mushrooms and the other should be roasted.
Rabbits are also used for roasting. When she chooses the seasonings, she deliberately chooses a lot of cumin.
As for wild boars, the cartilage is used for roasting, while the streaky fatty part is used to stir-fry with young bamboo shoots and green vegetables. The fat can be rendered for oil, and the lean meat and spare ribs are reserved for the evening.
She also makes another scrambled egg with leeks.
When Ling Yaoyao was busy cooking, Wei Yuan, who had the most patience and ability to deal with the ingredients a little bit, stayed with her and guarded her safety.
Little Beauty Qiao and Commander Ye, who could only pick wild fruits and dig out bird eggs, were driven away. They drove a speed car to hunt nearby scorecards. Ling Yaoyao asked them to come back in an hour and a half.
In front of the monitoring equipment, Ling Xuan watched the surveillance video of Ling Yaoyao almost unblinkingly. He watched her face with a calm expression, handling the food ingredients skillfully and quickly.
Thinking back to Yaoyao's delicious lunch that he had eaten two months ago, Ling Xuan can already predict that when Yaoyao's meal is ready, Yaoyao's three teammates will definitely be completely overwhelmed by her craftsmanship...
The little girl's skill is so good that she can't hide it. After everyone finds out, his love rivals will only increase!
Ling Xuan wanted to hide her... but he knew it was impossible. The only thing he can do is to give her his label as soon as possible. But how to make her stop treating him as a brother?
