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!
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!! (Pure love 1v1, light-hearted, no angst, single female lead, villain, reincarnation, lackey)

young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
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.
