After finalizing the next plan, the moods of the three settled down a lot.
Let's find something to do!
Can't just lean here, otherwise it's easy to get sleepy.
And at this time, the long-lost system sent him a task prompt again...
Lu Zhe thought that after the initial period, the system would generally not issue some weird tasks anymore.
Because the host has adapted to island life, he can fully obtain potential points by finding supplies, making tools, helping companions, and so on.
In the jungle, getting fresh water is not too difficult, the difficult thing is getting salt.
After losing salt, the body will become weak and resistance will also decrease.
Currently, the most sensible method is to lick your skin to get salt.
Humans are sometimes strange. Do dogs really like to lick your hands and toes as a friendly gesture?
In fact, more often the reason is that they want to get your salt.
Not only dogs, cows and sheep sometimes also lick people's wrists to get salt.
People who have just bathed have not much salt on their skin surface, but after doing physical work and sweating, there will be a lot of salt attached to the human body surface.
Unlike the salt in urine, this has very low urea and can be ingested directly.
"You can lick your own skin to get salt. Ed Stafford did this when he lacked salt on the Eurōlaks Island!"
The two girls licked their wrists: "It's salty."
At this time, Ning Shu discovered two green dots shooting towards the camp from a distant tree.
"Hey hey hey, stop first!"
"What's wrong?"
"Look over there?"
Lu Zhe and Tang Xiaoguo looked over together.
Tang Xiaoguo also saw the two dots: "Wow, it really is a goblin!"
Lu Zhe's eyes, however, clearly saw the ambusher opposite them. It was less than a meter long, covered in beautiful spots, and was crouching in a tree, gazing at them.
This was a clouded leopard, a feline found in tropical and subtropical forests, whose range also includes the Himalayas.
Although ferocious and capable of capturing prey much larger than itself, it is timid.
Its main food consists of civets, pheasants and monkeys. It will not easily attack humans, especially with a campfire. So even being watched by it, the safety factor was still quite high.
Lu Zhe judged that it was probably the smell of the cooked meat in the lunchbox that attracted this greedy cat.
He wanted to reassure the two female classmates so they wouldn't be afraid.
But then he thought, with no danger at all, people can easily get sleepy. Occasional tense emotions are not necessarily a bad thing!
"What is that thing!"
Lu Zhe's expression became solemn: "It's a clouded leopard."
"A leopard?"
"The clouded leopard is a clouded leopard. It's neither a leopard nor a cat."
"Does it eat people?"
Lu Zhe solemnly told a lie: "It...likes to eat people the most!"
"Ah? It's looking at us, is it going to eat us!"
But to make this lie more believable, Lu Zhe added: "It's looking for a chance! It sleeps during the day and goes out at night, waiting for us to fall asleep so it can attack us."
The two girls were instantly frightened wide awake.
"What should we do?"
"It's staring at us, we should stare back at it and see who lasts longer."
"Okay!"
With this stimulant, Lu Zhe felt at ease.
But now, as the temperature kept dropping, they had to consider further modifications to the camp.
Tang Xiaoguo said: "Don't you feel like it's getting colder and colder, maybe because it's staring at us?"
Ning Shu lamented: "No way, isn't it because of the altitude and different air pressure?"
"A few dozen meters of altitude does not make much difference in air pressure."
Lu Zhe thought for a moment: "I guess it should be that the sea surface was heated by the sun during the day, so it can still emit some heat at night. The vegetation on the island is also relatively lush, which can block some sea breeze and prevent the temperature from dropping rapidly. So places at lower altitudes are warmer."
"What should we do then?"
"Have you all read the textbook story from childhood, Master of the Big Forest?"
The two girls nodded.
"You two keep an eye on that clouded leopard. Let's use the old hunter's method to keep warm!"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty!

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
