Chapter 100

The morning sunlight filtered through the leaves as Aria stretched lazily and popped the last wild berry into her mouth.

"Let's move out!" She clapped her hands, and the team immediately fell in line.

The live comments exploded:

[Aria’s masterclass is starting!]

[Front-row seats ready!]

As they walked, Aria lightly tapped various plants, effortlessly explaining their properties. She occasionally shared survival tips, leaving the group in awe.

"Tree bark can be used as gauze?"

"This weed can actually stop bleeding?"

During a break, someone suddenly gasped, "Look! There’s a giant beehive up there!"

Everyone craned their necks, watching the dense swarm of bees circling the hive, their scalps tingling with unease.

"Forget it, that honey isn’t worth the risk."

"One sting could be deadly."

Aria, however, chuckled. "Relax. They’re relocating."

She pointed at the swarm. "The old queen is stepping down, and the new queen is leading most of the workers to establish a new colony. Once they’re gone, the leftover honey is ours."

[Holy crap, she knows this too?]

[Is Aria a walking encyclopedia or what?]

While the bees moved out, Aria led the group on a treasure hunt through the jungle.

"This wild herb makes the best salad."

"Bamboo shoots should have yellow tips."

"See these tracks? There must be wild rabbits nearby."

Caleb Monroe, arms full of loot, grinned ear to ear. "Following Aria means three meals a day—plus snacks!"

Wesley Hart, clumsily weaving a bamboo basket, looked up. "More than just food—it’s like taking a survival masterclass!"

Audrey Lane waved a freshly dug ginseng root excitedly. "Being carried has never felt so good!"

The livestream comments went wild:

[So jealous!]

[Wish I were there!]

[Aria, need a human accessory?]

Serena Blake lingered at the edge of the group, her nails digging into her palms. She tried several times to interject but found herself outmatched by Aria’s expertise.

"Why her...?" She glared at Aria, the center of attention, her eyes dark with resentment.

Meanwhile, in the control room, the director grinned at the skyrocketing ratings.

"An unexpected windfall!" He rubbed his hands. "Aria’s a godsend for this show!"

On screen, Aria demonstrated how to weave a hammock from vines. Sunlight dappled her face through the leaves, accentuating her striking features.

[Why just screenshot? Stare in awe!]

[Is this beauty even real?]

When the first drop of honey dripped into the bamboo container, cheers erupted through the jungle.

"Sweet!" Caleb licked his fingers, eyes sparkling.

Aria smiled as she distributed the honey. "Remember, always leave a third for the bees to survive winter."

[Details reveal character.]

[Officially in love.]

As the sun set, the team returned, singing, their arms full of the day’s bounty. No one noticed Serena trailing behind, her gaze fixed on Aria’s back—a flash of malice in her eyes.
