Chapter 24

There is an illustrated guide to animals you can't eat without going to jail, so you can avoid catching protected animals.

Qin Feng wasn't the least bit interested in the fragrant-wing rice!

……

Meanwhile, the other couples on "Love 100%."

No need to spend two hours traveling by sea—they were already in working mode.

First pair.

Qin Xiaoxian took Yang Chaoyue to a nursing home.

On the spot, they started performing a comic dialogue for the elderly.

Yang Chaoyue played the straight man on the side; the show's effect was quite good.

Second pair.

Cai Xu Kun and Liu Haochun arrived at a children's dance training class.

The kids refused to learn proper dance moves, pestering Kun Kun to teach them the Iron Mountain Lean instead.

Kun Kun's online tutorial: first step to whitewashing—nail the self-roast!

Kun Kun has been enlightened!

Third pair.

Yu Shuxin and Hua Chenyu went to work as street sanitation workers.

Before they even started, they mistook the production crew's equipment for garbage and threw it away.

Right now they're rummaging through trash cans.

Variety shows generally have scripts, but Qin Feng and Reba don't.

Director Yan Min basically gave Qin Feng free rein, letting him improvise.

After all, he's not a professional entertainer.

Giving him a script would only backfire.

However!

Even with a script's boost, the attention on Qin Feng and Reba's pair was still slightly higher than the other three pairs.

……

A dozen or so minutes later.

Qin Feng appeared before the camera limping.

Reba stuffed a GoPro mini camera into Qin Feng's hands.

Then she gave Qin Feng a bucket too!

Reba: "All you know is slacking off. Next time you go clear the memory, I'll livestream that too."

Qin Feng: "My leg's numb, help me rub it."

Reba: "Hmph! Serves you right!"

—【What's the "clear the memory" meme? Secret code?】

—【Feels like Reba has picked up quite a bit of slang hanging around Qin Feng!】

—【Qin Feng will stop at nothing to slack off!】

The old man said with a smile: "For the turtles' happiness, you two settle down for a bit."

"Come on, I'll take you treasure hunting."

Qin Feng: "Compared to treasure hunting, I'd rather save the world."

Reba: "Ah, yes yes yes~"

One old man and two youngsters—the three of them burst out laughing together.

Dealing with an old-timer like this playful old man is such a relief!

The old man's surname was Huang.

He had worked on this island for nearly fifty years.

At fifteen, he came to the island with the fishery production team.

From then on his fate was tied to the sea turtles, and in the blink of an eye decades had flown by.

Reba asked humbly: "Grandpa Huang, you've been protecting sea turtles since you were fifteen? That's amazing!"

Qin Feng shook his head without speaking.

Considering the historical context, before the seventies there was very little awareness of animal protection.

Sure enough!

The moment Grandpa Huang opened his mouth, it was another round of explosive remarks.

The old man squinted and laughed: "Me? Back then I was catching sea turtles with the fishery production team."

"Later I noticed there were fewer and fewer sea turtles, and I'd grown attached to them, so I just switched careers to protect them."

Reba: ……

Qin Feng: ……

In short.

Grandpa Huang spent the first half of his life catching sea turtles, which meant he had to understand their habitats and habits.

The second half he spent protecting them—his expertise was a perfect match!

The old man's kindly smiling face seemed to read: 'No one knows turtles better than me.'

Reba then asked curiously: "What's the work like at our sea turtle rescue station?"

Grandpa Huang answered: "We take them in, we protect them, we release them."

Qin Feng took up the thread: "Grandpa Huang, I'd believe you if you said you ran a foundation."

— 【I'm dying of laughter, folks. What kind of divine grandpa is this?】

— 【Grandpa Huang chose the tactic with the most bullet comments!】

— 【The sea turtle is lucky it can't swear, or it would curse very harshly.】

— 【The historical context is this: in the early days, there was no such thing as protected animals in the fishing industry. The old man is very real!】

About a dating variety show being completely overshadowed by an old man's effect.

Even variety show scripts wouldn't dare write this...
