Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 175: Chapter 61: Joining the Exploration Association

The helicopter landed at the camp.

Chen Wen saw Jiang Chang excitedly waving her arms.

If Lin Jiawei hadn’t been holding her, the girl might have rushed over.

They jumped off the helicopter and walked out of its area, bending their waists together with Roland.

Roland’s wife had already rushed over in excitement, giving Roland a big kiss.

Chen Wen stayed away from Roland, leaving this moment for Roland and his wife.

Foreigners are more open in this regard, and no one minds.

”Chen Wen! Amazing!”

Just as Chen Wen was smilingly watching Roland and his wife.

Jiang Chang also rushed over.

But instead of kissing, she gave him a simple hug.

Lin Jiawei came over and bumped arms with Chen Wen: ”Mr. Liu already knows the news; he’s very happy. Give him a call when you have time.”

”Sure, sure, I actually have something to discuss with Mr. Liu.”

Chen Wen said, looking toward the staff behind.

The person was holding a birdcage covered with a black cloth, inside were the harpy eagle and the owlet.

”Just give it to me.”

Chen Wen happily took the cage and went with Lin Jiawei to complete the final tasks of the show.

...

With the participation of ten contestants, the crew completed the final recording.

Of course, due to issues with the audio equipment, some recordings needed to be supplemented.

Especially Chen Wen.

Because he often turned off the audio equipment, he had the most to make up.

This will be done during the contestants’ subsequent recuperation and medical examinations.

After survival, everyone was either healing or resting.

Chen Wen activated ”Tenacious Life” the moment survival ended, healing his injuries quickly.

This entry allows injuries to heal quickly after survival, and then proceeds to the next practice; it’s pretty good.

Chen Wen thought silently.

Back at the hotel.

The first thing Chen Wen did was fill the tub with hot water and have a nice, hot bath.

He hadn’t bathed for thirty days, surviving in the wilderness, and his body’s smell was quite pungent.

The owlet and harpy eagle were left in the hotel room.

The hotel booked by the crew was quite high-end.

Upon seeing Chen Wen bring over two birds, the waiter even proactively asked what they eat.

Chen Wen asked them to buy some chicken and insects.

Tips were naturally unavoidable.

But Chen Wen didn’t mind; he really earned a lot this time.

Except for the unlucky contestant number nine who was eliminated and Roland who voluntarily eliminated himself.

Chen Wen won all the others’ prize money.

Especially Adam.

He accumulated a lot of prize money.

Most of the early contestants were eliminated by him.

Chen Wen calculated that the prize money was about fifty-six thousand US dollars.

Even with taxes deducted, it was a substantial amount.

After the bath, the first thing Chen Wen did was message Hua Yun and Liu Yu.

Unfortunately, due to the time difference, Hua Yun didn’t reply immediately.

But Liu Yu called right away; he was very interested in the situation over here.

”Very well done, very impressive! The final trap was executed perfectly!”

Liu Yu’s excited voice came through the phone.

He seemed even more excited than Chen Wen.

Chen Wen chuckled and said: ”It was just luck, really, if I hadn’t caught that harpy eagle, things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.”

”Hahaha, you’re really good at hiding your abilities! Your beast taming skills truly opened my eyes.”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu was even more curious: ”How did you learn it?”

”Just by reading books and watching videos, and it seems that animals quite like me.”

Chen Wen gave a gleeful laugh and changed the topic: ”Mr. Liu, I asked Miss Sun about the conditions of recruiting formal members into our association. You see...”

After this survival experience, Chen Wen was determined to join the Hua Country Exploration Association.

The survival resources within the association are really great!

This trip earned him almost as much as his previous island live stream.

Not to forget, the island stream involved live gifts, and the income from that was quite substantial!

Liu Yu seemed eager for Chen Wen to join the association too.

He laughed: ”Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, I was going to bring it up. Among the young people playing survival in our country, you’re the one I have the highest hopes for! Your application is approved! From now on, you’re an official member of the Hua Country Exploration Association, Survival Branch!”

”I’ll have Sun send the relevant materials to you; take a look when they arrive.”

Chen Wen was surprised by how readily Liu Yu agreed: ”Mr. Liu, isn’t there supposed to be a ceremony?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu seemed to remember something and suddenly refrained from speaking.

”Well... there is a ceremony, but... never mind, never mind, I have a feeling that with your personality, you might not return for some time after this trip.”

Liu Yu’s words left Chen Wen puzzled.

What does he mean?

With my personality?

Returning after some time?

Could there be more changes here?

Chen Wen frowned, but before he could think further, Liu Yu said: ”Wait for Hua Yun to contact you, it’s good news, don’t worry!”

”Alright then.”

Hearing Liu Yu say this, Chen Wen was somewhat relieved.

At this point, he remembered his two animal friends: ”By the way, Mr. Liu, I wanted to ask something. The animals I tamed this time, the harpy eagle and owlet, are really reluctant to leave, and I’m rather attached to them too, so I brought them back. I wanted to consult whether I can take them with me?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu was stunned.

He didn’t expect Chen Wen to bring up another issue.

Liu Yu said: ”For non-paired animals, it shouldn’t be a big problem, let me look into it for you.”

...

After finishing the call with Liu Yu, Chen Wen settled down the owlet and harpy eagle.

The owlet was very clever and could understand its surroundings.

It felt a sense of novelty about everything.

Only the harpy eagle felt a little nervous about the unfamiliar environment.

After soothing the harpy eagle, the waiter delivered the purchased chicken and insects.

Chen Wen gave the tip along with the cost of the purchases and thanked him.

The waiter cheerfully congratulated Chen Wen on winning the championship, and even asked for a signature and a photo.

It was only then that Chen Wen realized this waiter was a loyal fan of ”Desert Death Battle.”

In the room, the owlet happily ate the delicious insects and curiously asked Chen Wen: ”Did you live in this kind of place before?”

”More or less, although not this luxurious.”

Chen Wen said while setting up a living area for the owlet and harpy eagle.

He planned to stay here for a few more days, ensuring that these two little creatures who followed him out of the wilderness were comfortable.

The owlet finished eating the insects and landed on a plush rug, making contented sounds.

”Wow, this place is so comfy!”

The owlet said, completely taken with the plush rug: ”There’s food, drinks, and it’s safe and comfortable to live in. You humans are so lucky!”

”Lucky for sure, but not free.”

Chen Wen shook his head.

With every instance of survival, he could distinctly feel himself somewhat not accustomed to city life anymore.

Compared to the city, he preferred the wilderness, with its diverse array of creatures.

It seemed only in the wilderness he wouldn’t feel so alone.

However, the sudden sense of loneliness Chen Wen had quickly dissipated.

Because Jiang Chang and Lin Jiawei had already arrived with delicious food and beer, knocking on the door to celebrate this champion.

After a night of feasting and drinking.

A slightly tipsy Lin Jiawei handed over a pre-written schedule, detailing upcoming tasks.

And Jiang Chang had brought many supplies for Chen Wen, including those for the owlet and harpy eagle.

The assistants made Chen Wen feel moved and satisfied.
