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!"
Explosive Plot Song Gua crossed over into another world, bringing along a whole crew of his doppelgangers—all of them mischief-makers. This was a world where everyone could choose a class. Song Gua became a "Bondweaver," capable of borrowing power, while his doppelgangers took on a wide variety of classes, covering just about everything. The number of doppelgangers grew day by day, each one a talented individual with a charming way of speaking. Under Song Gua's brilliant leadership, they would "greet" each other daily and engage in friendly "sparring," pulling off one major scheme after another on Earth. Sometimes they were bandits—stealing bosses, plundering mines, snatching resources. Sometimes they were saviors—descending like divine warriors to face world bosses threatening to massacre cities. Sometimes they even went undercover, infiltrating various major factions to stir up trouble from within, keeping their enemies constantly on edge. To prevent their doppelganger abilities from being exposed, Song Gua made them wear masks with mahjong tile patterns and don Taoist robes in various colors. "Remember, in front of outsiders, call me 'The Dice.'" "Got it! Boss!" "Not 'Boss'—it's 'The Dice.' Think about the vibe, pay attention to the vibe." "Yes! Boss!" "For crying out loud..." From then on, whenever they appeared, they would have their own theme song playing: ~Hey~ paying respects at the mountain stronghold at night~ whose arm is draped over whose shoulder~ gather your courage and follow along...
ress Kneels to Admit Wrong] [Dealing with Love-Struck Fools] [Forced to the Throne] Ren Tianye transmigrated into a female-oriented novel world, only to find everyone in it was utterly insane. He risked his life to save a young girl from barbarians, but was accused of arriving too late and branded the real murderer. He held a knife to a military officer's neck, demanding the troop tally, but the officer only cared about questioning his wife: "Do you not love me anymore? All these years of affection and time together, they were all a mistake, a mistake!" After seizing Yunji City, the original defending general, to save face with the Empress, knelt on the ground: "You must give Yunji City back to me, or I'll hang myself at the city gate and let everyone know you're a villain!" The young lord of the Duke's mansion, to please a woman, directly ordered a merchant: "The menstrual pads you buy for her must be studded with diamonds. Loving her means giving her the best." Having become a great general, he was about to marry a merchant's daughter, who set a pre-nuptial rule: "I can divorce you anytime. When that happens, you must give me half of your troops and soldiers!" Even the Empress was a severe love-struck fool, who ordered the execution of 70,000 elite troops simply because they stood in the way of her romance. Ren Tianye was speechless. He was done. Let it all burn! This deranged female-oriented novel world! ...
end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
