Chapter 329 Pretending To Be a Pig while Devouring a Tiger
In the live-streaming room, the audience was in an uproar.
Is she pretending to be weak while devouring the strong??
Dmn, Freya isn’t just lucky. She’s got real skills!”
Tm starting to think that ‘maniac’ might be an understatement for Freya!”
On the beach, several contestants fishing nearby screamed in fear and scrambled away from the shallow water.
Freya held the snake’s head and came ashore. The silver chain sea snake was highly venomous, so she couldn’t release it back into the sea. These snakes are usually found in deeper waters, so how did they end up here?
She didn’t seem bothered at all. She casually held the snake’s head, and the rest of its body coiled around her arm, looking surprisingly calm.
The stark contrast shocked the viewers in the live-streaming room.
“What a waste of my fish. That fish weighed at least three and a half pounds!” Freya muttered softly.
Once she reached the shore, she gripped the snake’s head with one hand and placed the small bucket filled with fish onto the cart with the other.
Silver chain sea snakes could be used in traditional medicine, so Freya planned to take it back with her.
She pushed the cart with one hand and only took a few steps when she saw several people hurrying toward her.
“Director, why are you here?” Freya was somewhat surprised.
The director was accompanied by a few assistants who were panting when they reached Freya.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Freya was unharmed. “Miss Kaufmann! We saw on the monitor that you encountered a silver chain sea snake, so we rushed over! Are you alright?”
Freya chuckled lightly. “It’s just a snake, no big deal. Since the silver chain sea snake is poisonous and a precious medicinal ingredient, I brought it back.”

“Brought it back?!” The director’s gaze fell on the snake coiled around her arm, and he stuttered, clutching his chest. “M-Miss Kaufmann, you must hold it firmly!”

If this thing bit, one’ll be poisoned immediately! There won’t even be time to get to the nearby hospital!
“Sure,” Freya agreed.
While talking to the program director, she saw a figure running toward her from a distance.
It was Radley.
He walked quickly to her side and grabbed Freya’s arm, casually taking the snake from her hand and holding its head.
“I’ll handle it,” Radley said, a thin sheen of sweat on his face.
Freya’s heart skipped a beat. “Why did you come over too?”
“I happened to pass by,” Radley replied nonchalantly.
The director and his assistants exchanged glances and remained silent.
What Mr. Monaghan said was simply treating people like fools; not many would buy it.
The program was still being recorded, and Radley couldn’t stay there any longer. After taking the snake, he promptly turned around and left.
With the director team’s members now present, the director instructed two assistants to push Freya’s small cart, and they all headed back.
When the program director saw the silver chain sea snake on the screen in the live broadcast room, he had already rushed out and missed the exciting scene of Freya taking action.
At this moment, he was still amazed.
“Miss Kaufmann, you sure are fearless. That was a snake!”
Freya smiled. “Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too many of them.”
During her previous studies of traditional medicine, snakes were one of the medicinal ingredients she learned about, and she had even learned how to stir-fry them herself.
Freya had a successful haul this time. She had collected over a hundred pounds of fish in three baskets on the cart and successfully exchanged them for four thousand coins.
As Freya carried the heavy bag of coins to the villa, she felt relieved. Now, she didn’t have to worry about coins until the end of the program recording.

By the time she returned to the villa, the sky was already getting dark, and night was falling.
After treshening up in her room. Freya sat down at the table.
The knockout stage of the top 20 was very intense. Out of the remaining 52 contestants, only 20 would advance.
If the assistants of those contestants were included, 64 people would leave Pink Beach after this competition.
“The competition is fierce,” Freya murmured as she took out the herbal sachets she had prepared from the table.
Occasionally, she picked up leaves or bits of fragrant wood, sniffing them delicately while her assistant took notes nearby.
Freya was currently no longer the outsider that everyone thought she was. The whole internet now knew about her identity as Clove.
The other participating contestants were feeling the pressure.
In the living room on the first floor, several perfumers sat together, frowning and discussing.
“This year’s competition is already much harder than previous ones. There are twice as many outstanding contestants this time, and even Helga, the previous champion, has come to participate. I can’t sleep at night because of the anxiety!”
“Well, luckily, they gave us three days this time. I would have given up directly if they had only given us half a day like in the top 50 qualifying match.”
“There are already a few spots in the top 20. Helga is definitely going to take one of them. Now, with Freya in the mix, we’re basically competing for the remaining 18 spots,” someone whispered.
A girl in the corner couldn’t help but speak up, “Honestly, I quite like Freya. I’ve considered interviewing with Monaghan Group’s perfumery brand after the competition. Freya and I have been getting along for a few days, and she’s not arrogant.”
“I feel the same way. Back then, I didn’t dare to say anything when Riley was around. She had quite the vengeful personality.”
Freya was unaware of the discussions happening on the first floor.
She had finished composing the fragrance formulation table and was ready to get some rest.
The next day, Freya spent half the day preparing all the items listed on her formulation
table.

She specifically went to the warehouse and found a small copper incense burner. Although it was rudimentary, she had to make do during the competition.
Helga and Riley hadn’t been going out these past few days. Freya thought they were also preparing for the competition.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and this afternoon was the deadline for submitting the competition works. Freya had made her fragrance yesterday, but she wanted to avoid attracting attention like the first time, so she planned to deliver it in the afternoon.
At noon, half past eleven, Freya sat on the sofa in her room, chatting on her phone, when someone knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, Leah.” A low female voice came from outside.
“Come in, the door isn’t locked,” Freya replied.
The door opened, and Leah walked in somewhat awkwardly.
“Please take a seat.” Freya smiled.
She had initially thought that Leah had come to hang out with her, but Leah’s hesitant and. cautious behavior caught Freya’s attention.
“Leah, is there something you need?”
“Freya… I heard that you exchanged coins with the production team yesterday. Can I…?” Leah. bit her lip, feeling embarrassed to ask.
She was indeed at her wit’s end. Due to the appearance of the silver chain sea snake, the production team canceled the fishing task out of concern for the safety of the contestants. She tried other tasks, but bad luck seemed to follow her. She couldn’t do anything right, and the few coins she exchanged were insufficient for her cousin’s needs.
Freya observed Leah’s expression and stood up, walking to the corner of the room.
On a small table in the corner, there was a package of coins she had exchanged earlier that day. Freya had yet to open the package.
She laboriously placed the package of coins on the table.
“How much do you need? Help yourself.”
