As soon as the topic of knowledge in this area came up, Zhongli switched into 'old professor' mode.
Not only was he articulate, but he was also extremely detailed.
"Oh my, the Geo Archon truly lives up to his name."
"But speaking of which, with the Geo Archon handling blueprints and technology, wouldn't Xiao always be stuck with the grunt work?"
"Of course! It's only natural for the father to come up with ideas and the son to provide the effort..."
The people in the bullet comments continuously cheered for this father-son duo, believing they had a high chance of becoming the final champions.
However, teams like Zhongli and Xiao were ultimately a minority; most people were either living miserably or barely getting by.
For example, Yoimiya and Ayaka, both being girls and without much knowledge in this area, didn't have a significant advantage in surviving on the deserted island, even appearing somewhat at a loss.
However, they shared one commonality, which was also an advantage: they were both nimble-fingered and skilled.
"Wow, Ayaka, look! It's the drone filming us!"
Yoimiya was tidying up materials when she saw the drone flying over.
And through the drone, everyone could clearly see their current situation.
"Oh my, living in a tree hollow? Won't a big bear just come and take it over?"
Everyone was very surprised after seeing their dwelling, as it was clearly a tree hollow inhabited by a bear.
From Bennett and Razor's situation last night, it was clear that fighting a bear for a spot was not a wise choice.
Yoimiya provided a very fitting explanation for this.
"Hehe, everyone must be wondering why we're living here."
Yoimiya scratched her head a little sheepishly and said, "Ayaka and I aren't very good at building shelters or anything, so we thought of finding a natural dwelling."
"That big black bear, though formidable, was injured by one of my arrows."
"Since it's so powerful, finding another tree hollow shouldn't be a problem for it, right?"
Netizens almost overlooked Yoimiya's top-tier archery skills; in that case, it made perfect sense.
"Some brothers who became fans later, let me explain: back then, Yoimiya could shoot three arrows in a second, even making the stall owner cry."
"That's right, I even have a video here! With that skill and a compound bow, even a polar bear would end up with two holes!"
Yoimiya and Ayaka's fans, who had initially been worried about their safety, now realized their concerns were unnecessary.
As the camera drew closer, everyone discovered that not only did they have a natural dwelling, but they also possessed many small items.
The materials they had been preparing were precisely some vines, branches, and mud.
Ayaka was using her nimble hands to shape the mud, and it was clear that what she was forming were bowls and dishes.
Ayaka knelt on the ground, smiling as she explained to everyone, "We found that the mud here is of very good quality, perfect for firing pottery. Since we'll be living here for a long time, making pottery that can be used long-term is ideal."
If they had only made jars and pots, it would have been one thing, but what surprised everyone was that they even molded large, human-height vats.
Not only that, but they also used this unique technique to reinforce the tree hollow.
Not only was the space greatly improved, but the comfort level was also enhanced.
And with their nimble hands, they wove branches and leaves into mattresses and blankets.
A pure natural beauty combined with a touch of mischief immediately became apparent.
"As expected of the Queen of the Summer Festival and the Demoiselle of the Kamisato Clan, their aesthetic sense is truly on point!"
"It seems we worried for nothing; who knew they were living such comfortable lives!"
Their fans breathed a sigh of relief. Whether they would win the championship or not was unknown, but at least they wouldn't live too badly.
The camera then shifted again, moving to Kazuha and Gorou, who were also from Inazuma.
Kazuha, using his years of experience traveling in the wild, found a suitable location and built a shelter using rocks.
Furthermore, by hunting and combining it with Gorou's keen nose, they were often invincible.
When the camera moved to Mona and Sucrose, everyone found that this combination was living considerably better than expected.
It was known that Mona was merely an astrologist, and Sucrose was a socially anxious apprentice.
Logically speaking, they didn't have much advantage or matching skills in a place like a deserted island.
But unexpectedly, Mona actually managed to live a decent life using her astrology.
With just a slight calculation, she knew where there were many fish and where edible fruits could be found.
As for Sucrose, she herself had only just discovered that alchemy knowledge encompassed so many fields.
Whether it was plants, minerals, or organisms, mastering alchemy required some involvement in all of them.
She found that in wild survival, alchemy could be used to create many necessary tools.
When combined, the two could be considered a strong alliance.
However, Fischl wasn't so lucky; her teammate was Noelle.
Noelle was famously good at taking care of her companions, but a clever woman cannot cook without rice, and her experience in wild survival was not very extensive.
Fortunately, Noelle was naturally strong, and with her great strength, she forcibly built a shelter, at least protecting them from the wind and rain.
The two continuously searched for prey in the wild, but in the end, they could only find some wild fruits to fill their stomachs.
Fischl sat down on the ground, feeling very wronged and regretful: "If only I had chosen a bow and arrow too! If I had a bow and arrow, I definitely wouldn't be short on prey!"
That's right, Fischl gave up her skilled archery and didn't choose a bow and arrow; instead, she chose a shovel and a lighter.
This led to a sharp decline in their living standards during this deserted island survival challenge.
But Noelle was very optimistic.
"It's okay, Fischl, as long as we work hard, we'll quickly adapt to life here and find our rhythm!"
Seeing Noelle so confident, Fischl had no choice but to get up again.
"Tsk tsk tsk, how pitiful, Fischl."
"Oh no, will the Prinzessin be the first to be eliminated?"
"No way, if you ask me, the first to be eliminated will definitely be Itto and Kujou Sara."
Everyone really couldn't argue with that, because neither of these two had particularly strong survival skills.
Most importantly, they were prone to arguing, and if they had just cooperated, they wouldn't have lived so miserably yesterday.
The camera then moved to Diluc and Kaeya.
Although they also liked to bicker and argue, they had considerable tacit understanding in their actions, and their living standards even reached above average.
They were only surpassed by Tighnari and Cyno, and Zhongli and Xiao.
As for Eula and Amber, although their lives weren't overly refined, they had no worries about food and shelter.
