Li Chen, Zheng Kai, Sha Yi, Bai Lu, Zhang Zhenyuan, Xie Yilin, Chen Xiaoting, and Cheng Lei traveled to Pu'er, the "World's Tea Source," to sip tea around a fire, listen to stories of horse caravans, and hike in the rainforest to experience the natural atmosphere. Before embarking on a team-building trip, a game of "obeying the minority" surprised everyone. Before setting off on the ancient trail, the members experienced the caravan's pre-trip ritual—throwing a shoe to ask for directions. Each member took turns throwing straw sandals onto a gourd array. To enjoy a more diverse dinner of horse caravan cuisine, a game of "increasingly large word formation" immediately began, with the members racking their brains and brainstorming abstract ideas. The Pu'er trip was split into two groups. The group with the most "golden leaves" flew to Dali early the next day to begin their "special forces" journey.
