Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Wilderness Survival
By the time he left the relevant department, it was already seven in the evening.
Chen Yu stood at the doorway stretching lazily, his face filled with gloom.
He suddenly realized that he had been a bit negligent of his proper business.
Originally, his restaurant had been doing well, and with the culinary skills provided by the system, he could have continued to expand his shop.
But now, instead of managing his business, he was either participating in survival competitions or providing medical consultations, and, today, he even ended up at the relevant department to assist with a criminal case.
However, the skills granted by the system did indeed give him the capabilities he needed.
And these so-called distractions had begun to feel like a way of giving back to society.
With this thought, Chen Yu felt somewhat reconciled.
"Bro Yu, it seems I've delayed you for half a day!"
Chen Yu scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's okay, just think of it as making a contribution to society."
"Wait!" Zhou Shengtao shouted as he hurried out after them.
"I forgot to tell you guys, we've been chasing this gang for a whole ten years, and there's a reward for their capture. You can bring this proof to me later and claim the reward."
Chen Yu took the certification that Zhou Shengtao handed over and was immediately shocked by the figure of three million on it.
"Well, Xiaowei, since your studio has just opened, consider this three million as compensation for you," he said.
Tang Xiaowei waved her hands repeatedly, "I can't accept it. You drew the last few portraits all by yourself, and I didn't really help."
Chen Yu gestured with his hand, "Then, let's do this, we'll split it half and half, and don't argue with me about it anymore."
Tang Xiaowei didn't know what to say.
Her studio had just started up, and being in the animation business, it was quite costly.
Moreover, Chen Yu had made his stance clear, so she felt it was inappropriate to refuse any further.
No sooner had Chen Yu entered the shop with Tang Xiaowei than the system's notification rang in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for completing a day's business. Since costs exceeded profits, no points have been accrued.]
At that moment, the shop was empty. Li Gang and Ning Kai had prepared the staff meal and were waiting for Chen Yu to come back to start eating.
In the afternoon, Chen Yu had already ordered the materials needed for the next day, which had now been moved into the warehouse.
A sense of gloom rose in Chen Yu's heart again. It seemed as though he hadn't done anything that day, yet somehow everything was taken care of.
With a helpless sigh, he sat down to eat with everyone.
Just then, Chen Yu suddenly received a text message.
"Son-in-law, sneak out and come to the business van at the crossroads."
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow; it was the first time he saw Tong Ming being so secretive.
"I have something to take care of, I'll be back!"
After giving a perfunctory notice to the others, Chen Yu left the shop with feigned calmness and quickly spotted the business van at the crossroads.
As soon as he got in the van, he saw Tong Ming holding an invitation.
Before he could even ask, Tong Ming looked at him with a pleading gaze.
"Son-in-law, do you have any idea how famous your last chef competition has become internationally?"
Chen Yu coughed lightly, "I'm aware! What about it?"
"You see, there's this wilderness survival show that I need you to attend," Tong Ming said.
Chen Yu's eyes widened, "You're not kidding, right?"
Tong Ming appeared somewhat helpless, "After you climbed the cliff to pick goose-neck barnacles last time, it triggered the competitive spirit of several wilderness survival experts abroad, and they have collectively issued a challenge to you."
Tong Ming pushed the invitation into Chen Yu's hands.
Seeing the events listed on the invitation, Chen Yu suddenly felt a rush of excitement.
But he also felt it was somewhat irresponsible.
"Well, I've been thinking about starting a food processing factory recently..."
"Then this is perfect. If you win the championship in this challenge, you could get about thirty million in prize money. You wouldn't just be able to start a food processing factory; opening several chain stores wouldn't be an issue either."
Chen Yu was instantly tempted. With the current net profits from his store, it would take about twenty days to earn thirty million.
As Tong Ming had said, with the money in hand, he would be able to start the food processing factory right away, so it couldn't be considered irresponsible.
"When do we leave?" Chen Yu suddenly became resolute.
"Tonight, and you'll reach the competition site by tomorrow morning. It lasts for three days! However, you can't bring family members. For Tong Ya's part, you'd better make up a lie."
Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. Who teaches their son-in-law to lie to their own daughter?
He responded rather perfunctorily and returned to his store.
Tong Ya had already sensed something was off and stood at the door, staring at the business van from a distance.
"Husband, what did my dad want you to do?"
Chen Yu rubbed Tong Ya's cheek: "I'm going to participate in a wilderness survival show. If I win the championship, I can go ahead with the plan for the food processing factory."
Tong Ya pouted, looking somewhat resentfully at the business van at the crossroads.
"He does it on purpose, always getting you to participate in these weird shows."
"No problem, it's also a form of training for me! Take good care of Tuan Tuan at home, and the store is all yours for the next few days."
Tong Ya found that Chen Yu was becoming more and more perfect in her eyes.
Not only did he run the store perfectly, but he was also proficient in various cuisines, and even medical skills and extreme sports seemed to come naturally to him.
Sometimes she even felt that Chen Yu was an omnipotent god.
"Then be careful and come back early!"
Chen Yu nodded and got back on the business van.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Tong Ming took Chen Yu to the airport.
At five o'clock in the early morning the next day, Chen Yu, who had only gotten three hours of sleep in the hotel, was awakened by a call from the organizers.
After quickly packing his equipment, Chen Yu went up to the rooftop as instructed, waiting for the helicopter.
The first task required all the contestants to jump from a helicopter with parachutes on their backs.
This was a crucial scoring point in the outdoor survival assessment.
Scores were ultimately determined based on the location of their skydiving and the performance of their jump.
Chen Yu was taken by helicopter near an island.
"Mr. Chen, you can choose any of the islands below. After you jump, you can either swim directly to the mainland or use the island's resources to live for a day and then make a raft to go to the mainland."
Chen Yu nodded and walked straight to the helicopter door.
Before the staff could react, he jumped.
"Mr. Chen, you haven't taken your parachute!"
The staff shouted in alarm, peering out of the door anxiously.
They saw Chen Yu spread his arms and precisely land in the ocean.
Then, he quickly swam to the island.
The helicopter staff, seeing that Chen Yu was safe, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although this was a wilderness survival show, their principle was still to ensure the safety of the contestants and prevent any fatal accidents.
Soon after, several drones carrying cameras flew towards Chen Yu.
