Wilderness Survival with Druid System

It seems like Bernard sensed Chen Wen’s thoughts and said with a smile, ”This is an individual competition, no need to elevate it to a national level.”

”Moreover, this time there aren’t many from our side participating in the Lin Ji Challenge. If all three of them can team up with you, that would actually be quite nice.”

Chen Wen thought for a moment and agreed with Bernard’s statement.

”Then let’s ask Roland and Gaston. Roland is powerful; having him would mean extra support, and I could relax a bit.”

Chen Wen said, ”As for Gaston, that kid’s luck has always been good; bringing him in could counter the rumors that I had finished the Eight Extremes Challenge.”

Upon hearing the latter part, everyone couldn’t help but laugh.

Even Bernard laughed quite heartily, ”That’s right, Gaston’s luck has always been great. I let him join the Eight Extremes Challenge for this reason too.”

After a small joke, Chen Wen felt that his team should be about right in numbers.

One of him, one Hua Yun, one Adam, one Fred, one Roland, one Gaston.

Six people.

Chen Wen roughly imagined the survival scenario of six people.

Hua Yun is unbeatable in hunting, letting her go out hunting paired with Fred, the porter, they could bring back enough food every day.

Roland is also unbeatable in hunting, paired with Gaston.

Utilizing Gaston’s good luck, perhaps they might hunt even bigger prey.

While he himself and Adam stay at the camp, doing odd jobs like building shelters in the early stages, later on being responsible for daily maintenance of the camp.

Occasionally, Chen Wen might go out to try taming animals, or make some small furniture to improve living quality.

Overall, this lineup is quite picturesque.

Even if facing danger, Roland independently hunting cattle, Fred fighting bears, and his own excessively strong self.

Not to mention wolf packs and brown bears, even a combination of them—brown bear packs might not be able to handle this team!

Besides, winter is the hibernation season for brown bears.

There is simply no creature around the forests of Lake Baikal that could threaten them.

Even humans are rarely seen.

”That’s good, I think with this many people it’s enough to survive.”

Chen Wen said, ”What do you think?”

Hua Yun nodded as well, ”My initial thought was five to seven people; this number is quite reasonable, fewer means the team’s strength isn’t enough, more means food pressure is too great, this range is just right.”

The two briefly discussed and finalized the team matters.

This surprised the other people in the room.

They thought this would take a long time to discuss.

At this moment, Liu Yu said, ”Just find time to get in touch. The Lin Ji Challenge is about to start in these days, and when everyone is gathered, I’ll help you with registration.”

Chen Wen nodded.

Bernard said, ”No need to contact Adam and the other two, before I came here, I already talked to them. They’re also preparing for the Lin Ji Challenge during this time.”

After finishing these matters, Liu Yu waved his hand and started ushering people out.

He had a meeting to attend next and couldn’t entertain them.

Bernard and Zhao planned to visit Zhao’s place.

Xu Qiang planned to go back and contact his own teammates.

Chen Wen glanced around, seemed like there was nowhere to go.

Finally, Hua Yun said, ”Come to my office, let’s contact Fred, also, regarding the Lin Ji Challenge, the association still has some...”

She didn’t finish her sentence, after all, there were outsiders present.

But Chen Wen understood, it was some secret intelligence from the association.

”Alright, let’s go together.”

Chen Wen nodded with a smile.

Following Hua Yun, Chen Wen quickly arrived at her office.

To be honest, this was Chen Wen’s first time in the vice president’s office.

”Sit down, I’ll print out the intelligence first, so it’s convenient for you to look at later.”

Hua Yun said casually as she sat in front of the computer, starting to print the relevant intelligence.

After about a few minutes.

Hua Yun handed a stack of thick documents to Chen Wen, ”The front part is the association’s secret intelligence, don’t let anyone else see it. The back part is the information I prepared about the Lin Ji Challenge, including the active animal species over there, both huntable and those forbidden to hunt locally.”

Chen Wen flipped through the documents while saying, ”Wow, not bad, getting all this information together is not something that can be done in a day or two.”

Hua Yun rolled her eyes hearing this, ”What do you think I was doing while you were doing the Eight Extremes Challenge?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Wen laughed and put the documents away, ”Alright, with these documents I have a better idea now, thanks.”

Hua Yun laughed and shut down the computer, ”It’s rare for you to say thank you.”

After a few jokes exchanged, Chen Wen took out his phone.

He checked the time; Fred should be up by now.

Chen Wen scrolled through Fred’s contact and dialed him.

After four or five seconds, Fred answered the call.

”Chen Wen? Why the sudden call?”

On the other end, Fred seemed to just wake up, his voice carried a bit of nasal tone.

Chen Wen couldn’t help but say, ”What time is it that you’re just waking up?”

On the other end, Fred seemed to check the time.

Soon, he couldn’t help but say, ”It’s only six o’clock! I’ve already gotten up early!”

Six o’clock?

Chen Wen couldn’t help but check the time here; it’s already past eleven here, even with time differences, it shouldn’t be this long, right?

At this point, Hua Yun seemed to remember something, ”Last time Fred mentioned he’s now living in Eastern Europe, the time there really is later, plus, let’s get to the point!”

Hua Yun sounded slightly helpless.

Why does Chen Wen only talk about useless things?

Chen Wen chuckled awkwardly and continued communicating with Fred, ”Let’s not dwell on the time difference, mainly contacting you to ask if you have any plans later on.”

On the other end came the sound of rustling.

Fred seemed to get up from bed, he said, ”I have plans, intending to participate in the Lin Ji Challenge.”

Chen Wen asked, ”This year’s Lin Ji Challenge?”

”Yes.”

”That’s great.”

Chen Wen chuckled, ”Want to cooperate? Me, Hua Yun, probably Adam and two other American players.”

Fred thought for a moment, then said, ”Sure, our association here... I’m probably an outsider, so I feel reassured working with you.”

Chen Wen smiled and said, ”Then it’s settled, we’ll take you along, this time we’re all newbies, let those old folks experience the storm of youth!”

Fred also laughed, ”Alright, if you’re ready to come to Russia, contact me anytime, I’ll help you acclimate to the environment in advance.”

Agreement reached!

Chen Wen gave Hua Yun an ok gesture.

After chatting about miscellaneous things for a while, under Hua Yun’s threatening gaze, Chen Wen hung up the phone.

”So next we contact Adam and the others?”

Chen Wen asked.

Although Bernard said he would notify these three, Chen Wen felt it was better to personally contact them.

Hua Yun also agreed with this.

She felt the same way.

Soon, Chen Wen found Adam’s contact information.

After the call was dialed, Adam answered instantly.

”What’s up?”

On the other end, Adam’s voice was very calm.

Chen Wen hesitated for a moment, wondering if this guy was busy playing phone games?

He thought for a moment and didn’t beat around the bush but said directly, ”Heard you’re participating in the Lin Ji Challenge, want to cooperate? Me, Hua Yun, Fred.”

Adam pondered for a moment and replied, ”Alright!”
