The group followed the directions on the map and walked two or three kilometers through the dense forest to reach the destination.

It was a beach with small flags inserted into the sand, next to a spacious wooden platform.

On the platform was a small table with an envelope on top.

The group opened the envelope and read its contents aloud.

"Please gather various foods within one day's time to prepare a dinner meal. Each person should prepare one dish and conduct mutual evaluations. The highest scoring dish will receive extra points. Those who fail to complete the task will not receive points."

A few people gathered around to look at the letter.

Others looked at the tools in their hands.

Sang Xueqing had carried an electric saw the whole way and was extremely tired.

Upon hearing the contents of the letter, she simply tossed the electric saw on the ground with a sigh, "Why give me an electric saw to cook? This makes no sense!"

"Are these pots meant for cooking?" Song Xiang asked as she looked around at the other guests, "We only have these two pots! No bowls, plates, or seasonings either?"

Han Yusheng went to communicate with the program team first and finally learned the details of this task.

There were indeed only the pots Song Xiang had, and currently only salt for seasoning.

They'd have to find other tools and food themselves.

Han Yusheng helplessly relayed this information to everyone.

Hu Hui laughed bitterly upon hearing this, "The program only gave us salt and wants us to cook and grade ourselves! How could this possibly taste good?"

"I don't think taste is the issue now. We should think about where to find ingredients and how to cook them!" Qiu Ye, the veteran senior, reminded.

Indeed, where could they find food?

Everyone looked towards the fishing rod and bait in Qiu Ye's hands.

The island was by the sea. Did the program team want them to go fishing?

After a while, everyone split up in different directions to look for food while collecting firewood on the side.

Many followed Qiu Ye to discuss finding a place to fish. None of them had fishing experience and could only hope for good luck to catch a blind fish.

Fishing seemed like the simplest way for them to obtain food for now.

Song Jixing stood in place thinking for a bit before deciding to take a walk around the area. The lapping waves along the coastline were not very suitable for fishing.

Sang Xueqing also paused to consider before following Song Jixing directly when the others left.

"Teacher Song, may I walk with you? I'd also like to take a look around!" Sang Xueqing said amiably as she caught up.

Song Jixing did not refuse.

The two walked one after another, each carrying a basket on their back. Song Jixing's basket also held a chopping knife diagonally across it.

The program's staff followed closely behind the two with cameras on their shoulders.

As the pair passed through a cleared garden space, they discovered two lush banana trees that seemed to have been transplanted from elsewhere.

At Sang Xueqing's request, Song Jixing ignored the warning sign from the staff,

[The banana trees are expensive! The program team will have to pay!]
