Hearing they were going to become mosquito food, the delicate girls in the class immediately became unhappy and quickly followed Xu Fan's lead.

The male comrades felt too embarrassed to complain any further and all followed suit.

His previous missions at White Crescent had cultivated Xu Fan's excellent outdoor survival experience.

This time, leading the group, Xu Fan chose the easiest paths, and without expending too much energy, he led everyone to Tianyue Lake.

The golden sunshine sprinkled over the pristine waters of Tianyue Lake, shining brilliantly, akin to an upside-down sapphire laid upon the ground.

The grass next to the lake was lush and green; stepping on it felt exceptionally soft and comfortable, prompting several girls to sit down right away.

Above them was the pure, azure sky, untainted by any pollution, where occasionally birds unseen in the city would glide past.

Zhou Keren took a deep breath of the mountain air and her face lit up with a smile.

"Xu Fan, this place is truly beautiful!"

"Yeah, it's darn beautiful!"

Following Xu Fan's agreement, Zhou Keren turned to look at him, and felt her face grow hotter by the second!

"You watch yourself! I am your teacher!"

Zhou Keren warned Xu Fan, her face red with embarrassment!

This guy was too bold; if other students were to see this, what would become of her reputation?

"Hurry up, go set up your tent!"

Zhou Keren glared and shooed Xu Fan away.

It gets dark quickly in the summer, and there were probably only a few hours left before nightfall. At this moment, the whole class was busily setting up their tents.

Concerned that someone might struggle with setting up their tent, Xu Fan now made his rounds to see if he could lend a hand.

"Need help?"

Approaching a few girls, he saw Chen Dongdong and Shi Yong puzzling over a few tent poles so he kindly asked.

"Hey boss! You think this would be hard for us? Let me tell you, don't be fooled by my size, I'm a professional survival expert!"

With the rare chance to impress the girls in the class, Chen Dongdong and Shi Yong certainly weren't going to admit any incompetence.

"Boss, you should just take a break over there. If you can't manage it, just wait and I'll help you after I'm done helping them."

Chen Dongdong wasn't afraid to talk big, even though it might throw out his back, he boasted confidently.

Xu Fan narrowed his eyes at Chen Dongdong's method of fixing the poles and smiled without saying a word.

If this had been a field mission in the past, and Xu Fan had seen a subordinate using such a foolish method to pitch a tent, he would have surely kicked Chen Dongdong right in the rear.

But this was just a trip, so Xu Fan just smiled and watched.

"Xu Fan! I don't know how to set this up, you, you have to help me!"

At that moment, Xia Xiaodie came running over, grabbing Xu Fan by the arm, she tried to get his help.

Without even looking up, Chen Dongdong fiddled with the tent pole and said, "Hey, Xia Xiaodie, how can you have such poor vision?"

"My boss may be good at many things, but let me tell you, he's not as good as me at survival in the wild. Haven't you seen? Right now, he's just observing how I set up the tent, right?"

"Eh eh, ladies, don't rush, don't rush, I can have this tent up in no more than half an hour!"

"..."

Seeing Chen Dongdong's arrogant demeanor, Xia Xiaodie pouted and gave him a swift kick in the rear.

"Hmph! Chen Dongdong, would you die if you stopped bragging? Xu Fan, ignore him, let's go!"

After giving Chen Dongdong and the other guys a disdainful glance, Xia Xiaodie dragged Xu Fan away towards her camping spot.

Chen Dongdong rubbed his backside and lamented, "Ah, this Xia family's daughter really needs a pair of glasses."

Meanwhile, dragged along by Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan arrived at Xia Xiaodie's camping spot.

"Xu Fan, hurry up, hurry up, I have high hopes for you, don't disappoint me!"

Hurried by Xia Xiaodie, Xu Fan, holding the tent poles, couldn't help but roll his eyes at the girl.

"Xiaodie little sister, are you really this eager for me to build our 'love nest'?"

"..."

With that remark, Xia Xiaodie was so disgusted that she stopped talking, and immediately afterward, Xu Fan had finished assembling the tent frame.

These tents were entry-level models used by wilderness camping enthusiasts, posing little difficulty in setting up.

"Phew! All set up!"

For Xu Fan, who had previously used military tents, this was a piece of cake; in less than five minutes, he had fully assembled the entire tent.

On the other hand, Chen Dongdong, Shi Yong, and their group were still struggling to figure out the instructions, wondering how to assemble the frame...

Their clumsy actions so infuriated a few delicate girls in the class that they stomped their feet and, with a mix of pushing and shoving, were ready to boot them out.

"Chen Dongdong! All you can do is boast! Look at Xu Fan! In no time, he's already set up his tent!"

The group of girls complained, and Chen Dongdong and his mates, recalling their earlier bragging, suddenly felt ashamed to raise their heads.

Thinking about how he had boasted in front of Xu Fan about being an expert in wilderness survival, Chen Dongdong felt like crying.

Watching as the pretty girls in the class swarmed towards Xu Fan, draping their arms over Xu Fan's shoulders, asking him for help with their tents, Chen Dongdong and the others let out tears of misery.

Oh boss, while you feast on meat, leave some soup for your brothers...

"Not good! The tent, it fell into the water!"

At that moment, Xu Fan was helping the girls in his class with their tents when suddenly, shrieks came from near Tianyue Lake.

"This tent's done, put your luggage inside, I'll go check it out."

Having completed the tent he was working on, Xu Fan left instructions for the girls beside him and then ran towards the lake.

"Shimeng, what happened?"

Arriving at the lakeshore, Xu Fan found out that the issue involved Guan Shimeng and Zhao Yan.

Guan Shimeng, pinching the corner of her clothes with a somewhat awkward expression, said, "Xu Fan, I'm sorry, it was my fault for not being careful..."

It was Guan Shimeng's first time setting up a tent, and both she and Zhao Yan, being novices, had failed to secure it against the wind, sending the tent fabric flying into the lake.

The tent fabric had already drifted far away by now, and Xu Fan, with a smile that was also a grimace, shook his head and advised, "Alright, don't fret about it, just remember next time you camp, don't set up too close to the lake, got it?"

The class had bought the tents as a group, and there were no spares, meaning that with one tent gone, Guan Shimeng and Zhao Yan had no place to sleep that night.

Xu Fan pointed to his own tent that was already set up and said, "You two can use my tent tonight."

"Ah? Xu Fan! This..."

Guan Shimeng immediately felt embarrassed upon hearing this.

How could she let Xu Fan take responsibility for a problem she caused...

"Okay, stop it, I'll figure something out later!"

Seeing Guan Shimeng's embarrassment, Xu Fan decisively settled the matter.

Given his physique, not having a tent was hardly a problem at all.

Not to mention, now that he had absorbed the energy of the Jiuyang Warm Jade, his skills had greatly improved...
