Wilderness Survival with Druid System

The beginning of the Forest Extreme Challenge is rather distinctive.

Each player team will be arranged in a fixed area, but players will not be gathered at the start.

Players need to be blindfolded and scattered in different positions within this fixed area.

Once they are gathered, they can start cooperating.

So, during the time before they gather, players must show their skills and gather together as quickly as possible.

This is the usual process.

But there are exceptions.

And only one exception...

Chen Wen handed the Golden Eagle to Hua Yun, the Eagle to Fred, the Wolf Mink to Gaston, while he kept the Snowy Owl himself.

Chen Wen distributed four animals among four members, including himself.

This behavior naturally caught everyone’s attention.

After seeing this, the staff immediately contacted the on-site leader—Oleg.

Oleg came swiftly upon hearing the news.

After seeing Chen Wen’s actions, he did not intervene.

Chen Wen looked at Oleg: ”I remember the rules don’t prohibit players from exchanging and equipping survival supplies before the game starts, right?”

Oleg nodded slightly: ”No, so your actions comply with the requirements.”

Chen Wen showed a friendly smile to Oleg.

With Oleg’s endorsement, he felt more at ease.

After letting the animals follow his teammates, Chen Wen organized everyone to distribute the supplies reasonably.

The heavier ones were carried by the men, and the lighter ones, including bows and arrows, were carried by Hua Yun.

Additionally, everyone needed to be equipped with self-defense weapons.

Under Chen Wen’s careful arrangement, it took less than five minutes for everyone to sort out the somewhat chaotic supplies, with each person equipped with weapons and reasonable loads.

Seeing this, surrounding teams followed suit.

However, compared to Chen Wen’s efficiency in allocation, they were somewhat lacking.

At this time, Adam couldn’t help but glance at Chen Wen: ”This time... you seem to have researched a lot on cooperation?”

Chen Wen secured his spear and nodded with a smile: ”Of course, you don’t know how much preparation I’ve made for the Forest Extreme Challenge this time.”

Upon hearing this, everyone became serious.

They recalled Chen Wen’s previous performance, seemingly casual, but every action followed a method.

Especially in teamwork.

They had all gone to improve their abilities but somewhat ignored cooperation.

At this time, Roland brought up a matter.

He unnaturally sorted his supplies, speaking as if casually: ”So this time, should we choose a spokesperson for our team?”

Upon hearing this, everyone glanced at Roland and then at Chen Wen.

Clearly, they all realized that Roland still wanted to compete with Chen Wen!

But facing Chen Wen in his current state...

Hua Yun immediately said: ”Let’s vote; everyone can participate. I’ll go first; I choose Chen Wen as the spokesperson.”

She confidently showed her stance.

Chen Wen smiled at Hua Yun upon hearing her words.

The look seemed to say: Not in vain that I’ve helped you so many times!

Feeling Chen Wen’s gaze, Hua Yun secretly gave Chen Wen a thumbs-up.

The meaning was simple: I have always been your solid grassroots foundation!

At this time, Fred also spoke.

Chen Wen had originally led him through the Desert Extreme Challenge in the Great Sand Desert, and Chen Wen also supported Fred multiple times in the Desert Extreme Challenge, even saving him once with Screaming Kite.

The debt of gratitude might have long been forgotten by Chen Wen.

But Fred remembered clearly.

He said in a low voice: ”I also support Chen Wen, Chen Wen... is reliable!”

That sounded like, are we not reliable?

The others felt speechless.

But they still agreed with the statement.

Compared to others, Chen Wen is indeed far more reliable!

Adam followed up Fred and said: ”I’ll choose Chen Wen too. Chen Wen, you must have researched a lot on team cooperation this time, right?”

Upon hearing Adam’s question, Chen Wen tapped his head: ”Almost, I’ve read plenty of success books, like the biography of Jobs, Wolf Road...”

Chen Wen reported a list of success books, making everyone burst into laughter.

Lastly, Gaston said boldly: ”Though I also want to compete for the leader position, but...”

Gaston winked jokingly at Chen Wen: ”I think Chen Wen is still more reliable, after all, my strength, or the reason for joining the team, is perhaps due to my exceedingly good luck sometimes.”

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed.

The somewhat tense atmosphere eased a lot with Chen Wen and Gaston’s joking conversation.

Seeing everyone supporting Chen Wen, Roland did not say much, instead stating: ”I was just mentioning it, but personally, I also prefer Chen Wen a bit more, after all...”

Before Roland could finish, Chen Wen extended his hand, putting it around Roland’s shoulder: ”Say no more, I’ll temporarily act as the leader. During the upcoming survival, if I make many mistakes, or if you have different opinions on several things, we shouldn’t hide them from each other.”

”I propose, during the survival process, every night while dining, we should summarize the day’s situation. If anyone feels I’m unsuitable for continuing as the spokesperson or leader, we can re-elect to change roles. Meanwhile, if there are questions, opinions, or conflicts during the summary, let’s bring them all up. How do you guys feel?”

Upon hearing this, after pondering for a while, everyone nodded.

Clearly, Chen Wen’s words aligned with their thoughts.

Especially Hua Yun.

She had seen Chen Wen’s situation during island survival.

At that time, it seemed Chen Wen used meetings to alleviate team conflicts.

Now it looks like Chen Wen also uses tried-and-true strategies generously.

And Roland, after hearing Chen Wen’s sincere words, felt somewhat moved.

But this bona fide redneck in his forties wasn’t easily defeated.

A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, a look only appearing when facing an opponent: ”Alright, it’s settled then!”

...

From afar.

Oleg watched the scene and subtly gave a thumbs-up to Chen Wen.

This person truly has a leadership aura!

With a few words, he dispersed disagreements that could have destroyed an entire team.

Not bad, during the subsequent Cold Pole Challenge, or even Sea Extreme Challenge, he could let his team members interact with Chen Wen, maybe even try cooperating with him himself.

This kid has something!

Thinking this, Oleg looked toward other teams in this area.

Already, some teams were experiencing conflicts.

In total, there were five teams, and Chen Wen’s side had the least, six people.

The other four teams had ten, ten, nine, and seven people respectively.

The more people there are, the more issues there tend to be, greatly increasing the chances of team disagreements.

For these teams to enter the final stage without any quarrels, it’s not that easy!

Thinking this, Oleg shook his head.

He quietly left the scene, intending to head to the monitoring room to sit for a while.

Oleg currently had no plans to continue the Eight Extremes Challenge; he needed to rest a while longer.

Thus, Oleg could now serve as the person in charge of the Forest Extreme Challenge, monitoring the whole process.
