Hmm, with the unique fragrance of a girl, it was not actually that hard to accept!
Several girls screamed at once!
"Ah ah ah ah, what did Lu Zhe do?"
"He's eating...eating the chewing gum that Yao Yao had chewed!"
"Why did he have to do that?!"
"Isn't it disgusting? I really can't look Lu Zhe in the eye anymore!"
"Classmate Lu Zhe has become so weird!"
......
Several girls made some very abnormal exclamations!
Indeed, this was the effect!
Lu Zhe had already anticipated this. He said in a deep voice: "Don't overthink it. Two pieces of chewing gum can't be squeezed together well enough, if you want them to blend perfectly you have to chew them together!"
The few girls cried out together: "As if we won't overthink it!"
"I'm doing this purely for survival reasons. If you all feel it's weird for me to do this, then you can do it instead!"
The few girls looked at each other, crying out together: "No way!"
Lin Qianqian said timidly: "Are you...not trying to chew all our chewing gum?!"
Lu Zhe sighed: "Although I don't want to do this either, there really isn't any other way right now!"
Ning Shu said: "Are...are you sure it will work?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Not certain, but trying is still better than doing nothing, right?"
Ning Shu hesitated for a moment, then spat out her chewing gum, pinching it between two fingers and handing it to Lu Zhe: "Alright, I'll...I'll trust you one more time!"
Lu Zhe threw Ning Shu's chewing gum into his mouth as well.
Ning Shu shivered all over, her little face turning red immediately.
Seeing the class monitor and Jiang Yao contribute their chewing gum, Tang Xiaoguo handed over hers as well: "Here, bestowed upon you!"
Lu Zhe said with a black face: "Tang Xiaoguo, be serious!"
Tang Xiaoguo mumbled: "You're the one not being serious, chewing girls' chewing gum!"
"Then you chew it, girls chewing girls' should be fine right!"
"No way!"
"Come on, open your mouth!" As he spoke, Lu Zhe went to pinch Tang Xiaoguo's little mouth.
"No no no, I was wrong okay?!"
"Not okay, I've decided now, you have to do it!"
Tang Xiaoguo was scared stiff, so scared she sat down on the ground about to cry.
Lu Zhe was too lazy to bother with her further, throwing Tang Xiaoguo's chewing gum into his mouth to chew.
Perfect!
Then, Lin Qianqian also spat out her chewing gum, carefully handing it over: "I hope you won't dislike me because I'm a girl!"
"Hmm?! What a strange thing to say!" Lu Zhe very calmly said: "Why would I dislike girls?!"
"You're the strange one!"
He threw Lin Qianqian's chewing gum into his mouth as well!
With five people's chewing gum all clumped together, it was a bit tough to chew, but in the end he managed to chew it smooth, blending it all together!
The four girls looked at each other, then back at Lu Zhe, none of them able to articulate what emotions they were feeling in that moment!
Finally, after chewing it almost completely smooth, Lu Zhe spat the chewing gum out and rolled it into a cone shape. Then he carefully placed it on a rock, cautiously wiping away the moisture.
Ning Shu frowned: "Will it work?"
"Actually, this is my first time trying it out! Success or failure hangs on this attempt!"
Lu Zhe picked up a coconut, found the "head" where it had sprouted, took a deep breath, then fiercely smashed the chewing gum cone against it!
"Puh!"
The chewing gum disappeared. Picking it up to look at the base, there only remained a white dot - that was the chewing gum embedded into the coconut!
Lu Zhe dug out the chewing gum, and indeed a small hole had appeared!
"Haha, success!"
Lu Zhe held it up to his mouth. Coconut juice came trickling down, falling into his mouth!
Another potential point in place!
"Perfect!"
Ning Shu's eyes widened: "It really works?!"
Tang Xiaoguo cried out: "That's so unscientific!"
Lin Qianqian said: "Actually, this is a non-Newtonian fluid, there is scientific basis for it!"
Jiang Yao nodded: "Weird knowledge +1!"
While the chewing gum hadn't lost integrity yet, Lu Zhe opened up five coconuts in a row, about 200ml of coconut juice for each person!
But that was limited to just drinking the juice, they still had no way to eat the coconut meat inside.
Still, it wasn't bad.
"We've finally gotten to drink coconut juice, I'm telling you there's no way to survive stranded on an island without drinking coconut juice!" Tang Xiaoguo happily said.
Jiang Yao worriedly said: "But do we need to use up five pieces of chewing gum each time?"
Ning Shu shook the bottle of chewing gum: "There's still over forty pieces left, probably won't need more than a few tries!"
Tang Xiaoguo said: "Then can we recycle it for continuous use?"
Lin Qianqian said: "Chewing gum chewed too long will lose integrity and can't be reused right?"
Lu Zhe nodded: "If we want to survive long-term stranded on this island, just relying on chewing gum isn't enough. We need to create reliable tools!"
Ning Shu sighed: "But we don't even have something as simple as a box cutter!"
"No problem, if we don't have tools we can make our own!"
Lu Zhe felt it was time to start working on some tools!
Where to begin?
He looked around and said:
"The fresh water issue has been temporarily solved for now. Class monitor has also gathered some tree branches to keep the fire going. Let's take advantage of the sunlight not being too harsh yet and gather some rocks from the surrounding area - first to create an SOS signal, and second to find sharp rocks to create tools!"
Ning Shu counted on her fingers: "Time for some hardcore labor!"
Lin Qianqian also said: "My whole body is filled with drive!"
Tang Xiaoguo said: "What can me and Yao Yao do?!"
Ning Shu took out some plastic bags, pouring out some gathered clams and crabs: "Since you two can't move around, help roast some food for us!"
They split up tasks and immediately started working!
There were plenty of rocks of all sizes on the beach, and soon most of the nearby rocks had been gathered!
Lu Zhe arranged these rocks into a large "SOS" eight meters long and five meters wide!
If there were helicopters circling the island for rescue, they would definitely spot this signal!
Just then, Lin Qianqian found a dirty tin can filled with rotten seaweed emitting a fishy smell. She had picked it up in disgust to toss aside!
But Lu Zhe went over to retrieve it!
"Ding! The can has qualities of cookware, and can be used to create a soup pot! Potential point +1!"
Curious, he examined it even closer.
The writing on it was English - probably from a fruit or vegetable can.
The whole can's capacity was 2.5L, made from very sturdy thick tinplate iron like Red Bull cans. The top lid had been half pried open, partly still attached to the can body.
There were small amounts of barnacles stuck to the can's surface, with dirty seaweed still inside!
After washing it clean it seemed it really could serve as a soup pot!

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!

. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
