"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."
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)
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
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." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
