Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Hearing such a wide disparity in rewards and punishments, the eight guests perked up and waited for the expert’s results.

Director Chen announced the results of the expert’s results. “Ruan Chu and Fu Sheng’s group picked a total of 158 wild fungi, of which 75 were non-toxic.”

Hearing the results, Ruan Chu and Fu Sheng were a little surprised.

Ruan Chu looked at the remaining halt of the mushrooms in the bamboo basket. “Only half of them are not poisonous?”

The audience in the live stream also found it unbelievable.

[No way? Didn’t they say that Ruan Chu is a top student? How could half of the wild fungi be poisonous??]

[Speaking of which, even a top student can’t possibly understand so much about wild fungi, right? Everyone has their own specialty. After all, there are many types of wild fungi. Many poisonous and non-toxic ones look alike.] As soon as the haters came out to criticize, someone stood up to retort.

The expert explained to them considerately and explained to the audience in the live stream, “These wild fungi are all poisonous. This is highly toxic amanita grinobilis. This is amanita fuligineoides. This is amanita pseudoporphyria hongo…”

Seeing the experts pick up the wild fungi one by one, the guests present were confused.

What? What did he just say? Weren’t they all the same?

Fu Sheng was a little dumbfounded. He recognized them since he picked them. “Aren’t they all white mushrooms?”

The audience felt the same way.

[Fu Sheng read my mind. Isn’t this the same kind of mushroom? *crying and laughing* ]

[It does look like a white mushroom. It turns out that it’s a different wild fungus. No wonder Fu Sheng and Ruan Chu got it wrong.]

[Every year, many people in my hometown treat these fungi as white mushrooms and accidentally eat them before being sent to the hospital.]

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, the expert explained the difference between these wild fungi and white mushrooms in detail. A large group of people in the live stream shouted: [Thanks for the knowledge!]

[It seems that Ruan Chu and Fu Sheng lost fair and square. *sad smile* ]

[I guess that Ruan Chu and Fu Sheng will come in last and be forced to pick feces to fertilize. As for why I think so. All I have to say is that Dog Chen is such a dog. He must be referring to farm fertilizer.]

Everyone thought that this round was set in stone and that Ruan Chu and Fu Sheng would definitely be at the bottom. However, what happened next shocked the netizens in the live stream.

Tang Qiaoqiao and Wei Yuzhou picked 139 wild fungi, but only 51 were non-toxic.

Ruan Yan and Cao Junning were even worse. Out of 138 wild fungi, only 44 were non-toxic.

[Ah, this, this is something I never expected. Is Ruan Yan and Cao Junning picking every wild fungus they see? Why are two-thirds of them poisonous?]

[I thought Fu Sheng and Ruan Chu were bronze. I didn’t expect them to be kings *crying and laughing*.]

[Fu Sheng and Ruan Chu: Our peers make us look good.]

[Then at this rate, don’t tell me that Gu Yang and Ji Jingchi’s basket isn’t even a quarter non-toxic??]

[F*ck! After seeing the entire basket of fungi poured out, I feel that there’s not even a fifth of them that are not poisonous.]

[+1. Did Gu Yang and Ji Jingchi take out an entire patch of mushrooms with red umbrellas and white stems? *crying and laughing* Why are they almost all red umbrellas and white stems? The colors of this thing are so bright that even I, who don’t eat wild fungi often, know that it’s poisonous.]

[Not all mushrooms with red umbrellas and white poles are poisonous. Maybe Gu Yang and Ji Baby were lucky enough to pick non-toxic ones?]

Not only was the audience in the live stream stunned, but when the expert poured out the entire basket of fungi, the other three groups of guests and Director Chen were also stunned. Other than a few dark-colored fungi, the rest were almost all wild fungi with red lids and white stems.

Previously, they only thought that the upper layer of mushrooms had red umbrellas and white stems. They did not expect it to be almost all of them..
