The bow and arrow were made, next was to test its range and power.
Drawing the bow, Lu Zhe took aim at a coconut 30 meters away!
"Whoosh!"
An arrow shot out and with a "thud" nailed itself into the coconut.
Running over to pull it out, coconut water gushed out.
This showed that the killing power within 30 meters was quite strong!
Moving to 40 meters!
The arrow could still nail itself into the coconut, but could no longer pierce through the shell!
This showed that at 40 meters there was still some killing power, but the killing power was significantly lacking!
At 50 meters, the arrow's drop was noticeable and often missed the target, even the couple of times it hit the coconut, it only had twice penetrated the skin.
By this distance, it was useful for scaring people only!
Although this bow and arrow could not compare to the 202 meter military bow of ancient times, for short distance hunting it was still rather useful, at least superior to a slingshot.
Lu Zhe walked around the campsite to try and solo a monkey brother, but after wandering for quite some time to no avail.
At this moment Jiang Yao came over!
"Lu Zhe, stop playing by yourself, the Mid-Autumn Festival party, the cowherd and the weaver girl will meet, why don't you ask this young lady for a dance?"
"The two of us perform?"
"Yup, we said one person performs one item right, how about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai?"
"This..."
Tang Xiaoguo also came over: "Come come, Brother Zhe, let's sing a song together!"
"The Love of a Wood Cutter?"
"No way, let's sing something sweet and romantic, how about acting like a cat, that sounds interesting right?"
Lu Zhe lightly shook his head: "NONONO, too childish! I've already decided what to perform."
And so under the dumbfounded stares of the five girls, Lu Zhe performed a recital of the military treatise Outline Against Huan by Zhuge Liang.
He thought he had fooled them, but the five girls were unwilling to let him off.
In the end, Lu Zhe surrendered to reality.
He danced with Jiang Yao, sang with Tang Xiaoguo, performed a comic skit with Ning Shu, and portrayed Yang Guo and Little Dragon Girl with Qian Qian.
Finally, he played the bandit who hijacked Tang Xiaoguo, and acted out a police drama with Shen Bing.
The results went unexpectedly, the hostage successfully betrayed herself in the end, causing the police officer to fail her mission as well.
Shen Bing said angrily: "Tang Xiaoguo, what kind of hostage are you, if all hostages were like you, how many police officers would have to sacrifice themselves!"
Tang Xiaoguo shrugged: "What girl could refuse a bandit like Brother Zhe?"
Although these performances were crude and nonsensical, and each one more ridiculous than the last, it brought relaxation and laughter to everyone.
After playing some truth or dare, they brought out the long awaited whole roasted lamb.
Full from the food and drink, a few of them gathered around the campfire making wishes.
In moments filled with such emotion, looking back on the twists and turns since being stranded on this deserted island, Lu Zhe could not help feeling life's unpredictability.
The gang chatted and joked around the campfire, singing songs and making wishes until very late.
Everyone had great fun playing, the only regret was the pathetically low phone battery.
After charging with a fruit battery the whole day, it had only charged ten plus percent, that by night the flashlight couldn't even turn on, missing opportunities to capture some touching scenes.
As expected, devices like these were only occasionally useful, most times not that reliable.
When there was a chance, he should try making an earth battery or salt water battery.
After playing, Lu Zhe and Shen Bing smoked the remaining lamb to preserve it as a reserve ration.
On the way back, the four young ladies were passed out on the beach, fast asleep.
"Oh, are all tuckered out from the fun!"
"Yeah, what about you?"
"Me? I haven't gone as wild as them......what should we do?"
"Carry them onto the hammocks so that they don't catch a chill."
Shen Bing pursed her lips smiling: "More like to ease your worry!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Together Lu Zhe and Shen Bing carried the four girls onto the hammocks, looking at them sleeping soundly, listening to their sweet breathing, Lu Zhe smiled.
Shen Bing let out a soft sigh: "Why does it feel like they are our children?"
"Hey, after all they are young girls, occasionally needing happy emotions as seasoning, but truthfully, to have adapted to this level after being stranded on a deserted island, that is already quite impressive."
This made Shen Bing recall that week when she was stranded alone on the island, not quite dead but not quite alive.
Without Lu Zhe, she likely would have long become a rotting corpse, relying on this man and at the same time, falling deeply in love.
"What time is it now!"
Lu Zhe checked his watch: "Half past midnight."
"It's past twelve..." Shen Bing smiled softly: "Should we change how we address each other?"
"How about you call me Your Majesty and I'll call you Concubine?"
Shen Bing lightly closed her eyes shaking her head, then opened them looking deeply into Lu Zhe's eyes, softly said: "Call me wife!"
"Wife?"
"Mm-hmm!" Shen Bing smiled with a nod, gracefully tiptoeing to give Lu Zhe a light kiss on the cheek.
The two were about to bed down on the beach when they heard the cow suddenly anxiously "mooing".
"What's going on, do cows have the habit of crying out late at night?"
"They shouldn't!"
Hearing the cow's cries become more sorrowful, Lu Zhe guessed that some intruder had come into camp.
He took Shen Bing's hand and went to take a look, what they saw was horrifying.
A four to five meter long crocodile appeared in camp, writhing towards the calf in attack.
he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
