The two of them walked through the dark passage of the hot spring water together, with their tight-fitting clothes sticking to their bodies. As they entered the cave, Lu Zhe pointed at the bottom and said:
"Xiaoguo, we can consider the bottom of this volcanic cave to be a planet. There are two pools of water in the north and south, a bit like the North and South poles - darker and relatively cooler. The east-west line is like the equator, which gets the most sunlight in the entire cave bottom. Our goal is to clear a piece of land there, about 100 square meters, to grow more delicate crops."
"Oh...strawberries, watermelons, passion fruit?"
"And that sweet potato vine. I still haven't found a second one on the island, it's a very important resource."
"It's been so long, won't it have died?!"
"Although it's a bit dried up, it probably hasn't. You have to understand, the first sweet potato vine that came to our country was woven into ropes brought back from the Philippines, which resolved a major famine during the Ming dynasty."
"Do we have to chop all of this 200 meter sunlight strip down?"
Lu Zhe shook his head: "There are also many important plants growing on this sunlight strip, we have to choose a place with fewer important plants that is also easy to chop down. First clear out about 100 square meters, then chop down all the nearby tall plants that block the sunlight, to ensure maximum sunlight every day. Once we've taken care of that, then we can consider everything else."
"That means chopping down so many trees, even more tiring than Bald Qiang!"
Lu Zhe put his arm around Tang Xiaoguo's shoulders: "Hehe, Bald Qiang only had two meddlesome bears, but I have a beautiful maiden accompanying me, so my motivation to work is different!"
Flattered by Lu Zhe's praise, Tang Xiaoguo smiled shyly: "Hey, can I ask, back in school, did you ever like me?"
"Not at all!" Lu Zhe shook his head frankly: "I feel that feelings need to be slowly nurtured. Only feelings that have undergone trials of separation and death are truly sincere, otherwise it's just child's play."
"I should be unhappy hearing you say that, but I just can't get mad. What should I do?"
"No no, you have to get mad! Angry Tang Xiaoguo is the most fun!" As he spoke, Lu Zhe stretched out his hand and squeezed her little mouth into a pig snout.
"Bad Lu Zhe, I'm going to bite you!"
"Alright, Xiaoguo, if nothing unexpected happens, we'll be spending the night here tonight. I'm about to start my arduous life of lumberjacking, everything else will have to rely on my beloved empress!"
"Fine...what should we eat in a bit? Oh right, Lu Zhe, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you!"
"Dumplings with three delicacies filling plus western-style steak, best if there's also Australian lobster, with a couple bulbs of garlic. For drinks, kumis would be fine!"
"There's none of that stuff here!"
"That's why, the simpler the better, we're on a deserted island after all. As long as we can replenish protein and carbs, that's good enough. We should spend the rest of our energy making the temporary camp more comfortable!"
After circling around the volcanic bottom back and forth, Lu Zhe finally selected a location 20 meters southeast of the center.
Then he started chopping.
Tang Xiaoguo built a temporary shelter 20 meters south of this location.
This was the first time Tang Xiaoguo built a shelter alone. She didn't want to lose face, so she was inevitably a bit nervous.
What kind of shelter should she build?
The little girl was a bit stumped.
A hammock plus roof?
No way, tying on a roof means climbing trees, but she was too short and simply couldn't climb up.
Then...
Lay leaves directly on the ground?
Wouldn't that be cold?!
Just then, she heard a "swish swish" sound as a 10-meter tall tree came crashing down, scattering parrots in all directions.
Clearly chopped down by Lu Zhe.
Tang Xiaoguo was startled for a moment. She poked her head out to take a look, and saw a bird's nest fall out.
She walked over and picked up the bird's nest to examine it closely, when her eyes suddenly lit up.
In that moment, she had new inspiration for building the shelter.
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, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
