The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 880 - 879. Temporary Team Member Zhou Daniu

The newcomer, whose exaggerated expression had no time to fade, was now frozen on the spot, and the two guarding the fire could see the entire scene crystal clear.

This was a mightily built man, strong as an ox, with well-developed pectorals and biceps, emanating strength from head to toe, obviously not someone to mess with.

Of course, if one could overlook his seemingly dimwitted expression—that was the conclusion both of them reached simultaneously.

Tang Shu twitched her lips, becoming more certain of the idea in her heart; indeed, those Wen Nuan brought along were all hidden eccentrics within the crowd.

This guy looked as bright as a dim bulb, yet he was calling others mentally challenged.

"So, are you two giving up by breaking the pot in despair?"

Clearly, the newcomer’s thinking was still limited to the prior context, interpreting Tang Shu’s act of starting a fire as "giving up on the assessment to the extent of wanting to lure the instructors out with this method."

Little pal Ren Xiazhi... his facial expressions were so contorted he seemed to have lost the ability to communicate.

Tang Shu had no choice but to speak up, "We were just hungry, want some? There’s still one left."

The man stared at the roasted - unidentifiable - bird in Tang Shu’s hand, swallowed his saliva suspiciously, and made a decisive decision.

"I’ll eat!"

One minute later, the three were sitting in a row in front of the fire, munching away, with the fruits provided by the mighty man who generously shared the fruits of his efforts.

"Actually, I already ate, just these fruits, they are quite sweet!"

Ren Xiazhi silently nodded in agreement, of course, they were sweet, he had tasted them in the afternoon, but compared to roasted birds, they indeed weren’t very filling.

"My name is Ren Xiazhi, this is Tang Shu, and you?"

"Zhou Daniu!"

"..."

Silence fell upon the group in front of the fire.

Tang Shu considered for a moment, "The name is quite... descriptive."

Ren Xiazhi looked astonished, "I thought parents these days no longer named their children like that?"

"Clearly, your assumptions were wrong."

They exchanged looks, lapsing into silence again, until the newly joined comrade Zhou Daniu swiftly devoured a whole roasted bird the size of a pigeon.

"Since you invited me to the barbecue, I’ll join you. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of your safety!"

"..."

Both lapsed into silence again.

"Hey! What’s with those faces? Do you know how many people have invited me to join them on the way, and I rejected them all!"

"Why didn’t you choose to go with them?"

"Those kids obviously looked weak, and would have just held me back—"

"What about us?"

"You guys are definitely weaker!"

"..."

At this time, Ren Xiazhi, feeling rather sympathetic, glanced at Zhou Daniu and silently sipped some hot water, maintaining his silence, leaving the decision to the impressive Miss.

Tang Shu looked at the large and small combination before her and came to a conclusion:

All three of them were definitely leftovers. The difference was that she and Ren Xiazhi were passively leftover, while Zhou Daniu simply didn’t think much of others.

"Can you tell me why you chose to form a team with us?"

Zhou Daniu smacked his lips, savoring the aftertaste of the roasted meat, "Although you’re not strong, you invited me for a roast, so that makes you my bros, naturally I got to watch over you."

Good, that answer was so Zhou Daniu.

Tang Shu extended her delicate hand, "Deal."

After the three had eaten their fill, the clever Zhou Daniu proposed to change their location, already thinking of the reason:

"If we make a fire and grill here, it will certainly alert the instructors. Better we make a run for it before they come."
