"Open your eyes wide and take a good look, this is a good thing!"
Ning Shu was scared and asked carefully: "This...what is this?"
"Seeds, strawberry seeds!"
"Ah? Seeds??"
"That's right!"
Lu Zhe calmly explained:
"We who are stranded on a deserted island must try our best to collect all available resources. We would have eaten some fruits and melons before getting on the plane, and the seeds of those fruits and melons would have entered our stomachs and been brought to the island. Since the seeds contain antioxidative enzymes, they won't be completely digested! With these seeds, we can open up wasteland, cultivate fields, and plant fruits. Even if we are rescued later, our lives won't be too miserable!"
After Lu Zhe said this, the two girls looked at each other, and they actually felt that it made a lot of sense!
"I understand the reasoning..."
Lin Qianqian asked weakly: "But how could such a weird train of thought lead you to look for seeds in a female classmate's poop?"
Ning Shu said: "By the way, Grandpa Bei and Grandpa De have never done anything so perverted, right!"
Lu Zhe shrugged: "When extremely hungry, Grandpa De would re-roast and eat the undigested beans in his own feces, and Grandpa Bei would also squeeze water from elephant dung to drink. Compared to that, what we're doing is nothing!"
Ning Shu retched: "That's still freaking perverted!"
Lu Zhe thought of a key question: "Oh right, what did you two eat before getting on the plane? Any fruit?"
Lin Qianqian frowned in refusal: "I don't want to tell you!"
Ning Shu also said defiantly: "Humph humph, don't even think about knowing!"
Lu Zhe smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't say, it's just that if we don't get rescued in a few months, we'll either be gnawing on bark and seaweed, or eating all kinds of fruit. You guys choose for yourselves!"
Hearing him say this, the two girls were a bit swayed.
Ning Shu whispered to Lin Qianqian: "He does have a point though!"
Lin Qianqian said with a red face: "But we still can't let a boy rummage through...that stuff for us, it would be too embarrassing!"
"Right..."
At this moment, Tang Xiaoguo's weak call came from not far away: "Class monitor, Qianqian, Lu Zhe, where did you guys go..."
"Coming!"
The business of playing with poop would have to be put aside for now.
When they returned to the camp, they found that Tang Xiaoguo's face was ashen, she was running a fever, and her breathing was a little difficult!
Lu Zhe knew that in the end, a small amount of snake venom still invaded Tang Xiaoguo's heart and lungs.
Without antivenom, the immature wild persimmons were also toxic themselves and could not be eaten much. The only thing she could do now was drink more water to accelerate fluid metabolism and eliminate toxins!
He hurried to check on the stills!
It had been over four hours, and each of the three stills had distilled about 10ml of fresh water, about 30ml total, which was just a sip's worth!
But even though there was little water, it still provided Lu Zhe with 1 potential point.
He quickly let Tang Xiaoguo drink it.
As for the two girls' misunderstanding of his "poop rolling", he would just let time slowly fade it away!
Lu Zhe looked at his watch, it was already past 4 pm, and night would fall in a few more hours!
He knew that in order to survive, they couldn't rely solely on distillation, they had to find more fresh water before it got dark!
He decided to go back into the woods to look.
And this time, he let Ning Shu and Lin Qianqian take care of Tang Xiaoguo and Jiang Yao while he went into the woods alone!
Because he was alone, he climbed into the woods north of them from a steeper spot!
Here, it was obviously much denser than the south side, with unknown insects buzzing all around!
He searched carefully!
With great luck, he found a small clump of fishy-smelling plants under a tree!
Carefully pulling them out, there was a good handful.
Obtaining a new source of carbohydrates gave him another potential point!
This stuff had a unique taste and was nutritious, providing vitamins and carbohydrates to the human body, making it a very high-quality wild vegetable resource!
More importantly, it also had detoxifying effects, although the effects were not very good!
Finding a clump meant that this species existed on the island. If he looked carefully, there should be more!
He was very happy.
But the fishy-smelling plants nearby had also been harvested by him.
Continuing to search, perseverance pays off.
Finally, at the foot of a small hill, he found fresh water.
It was a water pit.
The pit was not big, estimated to hold only about 2L of water.
It was probably water dripping down from the hillside that accumulated here into a water pit!
He dipped a finger in and tasted it.
No smell!
Fresh water, it was fresh water!
"Ding! Congratulations host, new freshwater source discovered, +1 potential point!"
This was extremely worth celebrating!
Unfortunately, the body of water was relatively muddy.
More meticulous things would be needed to filter it.
Let's see what the system manual recommends!
"Water that is too muddy can be filtered using a bra pad."
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
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.
s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
