Lin Qianqian blushed and frowned: "That's not true..."
Jiang Yao asked: "Hey, did you come across anything interesting this time?"
Lu Zhe and Ning Shu looked at each other: "There really is!"
Then, Ning Shu told everyone about the ship-like thing they saw on the horizon!
Jiang Yao said: "Could it really be a rescue fleet?"
Tang Xiaoguo worried: "What if they come to this island while we are not on that side, wouldn't we miss it then?"
Ning Shu said: "We also made distress signals on the island side, if they really are a rescue team, they will definitely see it when passing by there!"
Lu Zhe continued: "If it's just a passing merchant ship or fishing boat, even if we yell our throats out, they won't possibly hear us from such a distance!"
Lin Qianqian nodded: "Lu Zhe, what do you plan to do?"
Lu Zhe set an alarm on his watch: "I'll get up early tomorrow and go over there to see what's going on!"
Ning Shu said: "I'll go with you tomorrow morning!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "That works too!"
Tonight's dinner finally gave everyone a sense of fullness!
Then the girls all squeezed into the shelter, and started inviting Lu Zhe!
"Lu Zhe, come in too!"
"Yeah, it’s quite cold out there alone!"
"You're like a little heater, with you here, the temperature will also be a few degrees higher!"
"There's enough firewood today, don't worry about the fire going out! Besides, the shelter was built by you, if we let you sleep outside, we would feel bad!"
Lu Zhe nodded: "Since you sincerely invited me, I won't stand on ceremony then!"
They made some hot water bottles with hot sand and seawater, and placed them around.
It was howling winds outside, but slightly warm as spring inside the shelter!
Ning Shu arranged: "To avoid unnecessary awkwardness between boys and girls, we four girls will sleep in a row and Lu Zhe you lie vertically, does that work?"
Tang Xiaoguo blushed and said: "What if I catch a cold at night? Or let brother Zhe hug me all night, I can force myself to do it!"
Lu Zhe knew Tang Xiaoguo wanted to get close to him, but the feeling of surging blood all night long...
He rationally thought, what he needed most now was high quality sleep, so he refused: "It's warmer here than the sandpit yesterday, and you're in the middle, you generally won't catch a cold!"
With that said, he lay down!
But Tang Xiaoguo wasn't settled after lying down, and poked Lu Zhe's belly with her icy little feet!
Lu Zhe grabbed it: "What are you doing, Xiaoguo!"
"A gentleman should warm them up for me!"
Lu Zhe let out an deliberately annoyed sigh, and grasped both her feet in one hand!
"Too perfunctory!"
"Take them away if you think it's perfunctory!"
"Don't want to!"
After a while, gentle and sweet snoring sounded again in the shelter!
The girls fell asleep again!
After a while, Lu Zhe also felt drowsy and slowly closed his eyes!
Morning!
The alarm clock rang, and Lu Zhe sat up!
It was the third day stranded on the deserted island!
The three girls were still lazily asleep, but Ning Shu had already left the shelter!
He pushed aside the grass curtain and saw Ning Shu roasting coconut meat by the campfire!
"Morning, class monitor!"
"Awake, Lu Zhe!"
"Yeah!"
"Is roasted coconut meat ok for breakfast?"
"Sure! Let me look for something else to eat!"
He crawled out of the shelter, noticing that the tide had receded, and the place where Jiang Yao set traps yesterday was now away from the ocean!
He walked over there!
Picking up Tang Xiaoguo's stocking trap, he was instantly overjoyed!
Inside the stocking, there were twenty to thirty one-inch fish hopping around!
Ning Shu also came over to take a look: "Wow, so many small fish! What bait did you use?"
Lu Zhe took out his socks from inside!
"My socks plus Xiaoguo's stockings!"
"Huh?"
Instantly, Ning Shu's whole body became abnormal!
"How could such cute little fish like to eat that kind of thing?"
"In fact, many marine creatures feed on the feces of other organisms, including the seafood we eat in cities, this is quite normal!"
While turning the socks inside out: "Most importantly there's one more thing!"
Ning Shu saw little black sesame-like dots attached to it.
"Most of the excrement has been washed away through the sock mesh by the seawater, what's left are the seeds of dragon fruit!"
"Using seawater and socks to separate feces and seeds!" Ning Shu retched: "That's quite a good idea, but those fish..."
"What about the fish?"
"Aren't they for eating..."
"Of course they are for eating!"
Ning Shu's eyes widened: "Don't you know what they ate..."
Lu Zhe didn't care: "In fact, many marine life feed on the feces of other organisms, including the seafood we eat in cities, this is very normal!"
"But their stomachs..."
Lu Zhe knew what Ning Shu was concerned about: "It's simple, we cut open their bellies with a small knife, take out the internal organs, and the dirty stuff will come out. Although the fish are too small and cleaning out the internal organs is a bit tricky, with some effort, it can still be done!"
With that said, Lu Zhe used a small knife to cut open a small fish's belly, and carefully picked out the fish guts with a twig!
Then he threaded it through the mouth with another twig: "Just string them up like this, then they can be roasted!"
The fish were gutted and pierced but still not dead, still wriggling, which made Ning Shu feel a little uncomfortable!
"Oh yes, there are still two bags of spicy sticks left, we can coat them with chili oil for a unique flavor!"
Ning Shu struggled and said in a low voice: "Alright, but don't tell them how you caught it!"
"Got it!"
A total of thirty small fish, after removing the internal organs, every six were threaded into one skewer, just right for five skewers!
Coated with chili oil and roasted over the fire, the aroma of grilled fish soon drifted out!
The smell drifted into the shelter, and the three girls crawled out!
"That fishy smell!"
"Wow, it smells so good, really want to try some!"
"Class monitor, student union head, where did you get the fish?"
Just as Lu Zhe was about to speak, Ning Shu pinched him and quickly said: "Lu Zhe caught them by the seaside! Breakfast is ready, come and eat!"
"Lu Zhe is so capable!"
"Thanks for the hard work, class monitor, Lu Zhe!"
"On behalf of all beauties of Shanghai Jiaotong University, I sincerely express my gratitude for the hard work of you two!"
"Oh yes, what else is there to eat?"
Ning Shu smiled and said: "Apart from spicy grilled fish, there are also roasted coconut meat, crab seaweed soup!"
Tang Xiaoguo said: "Just hearing it makes me hungry!"
Lin Qianqian said: "Sounds like the school's menu!"
Jiang Yao said: "I'm getting a little impatient!"
Everyone chatted while having breakfast!
Ning Shu asked the important question: "Lu Zhe, what's your plan for today?"
Lu Zhe looked at his watch, 7:40 am!
"I have to go to the other side of the islet later to see if that thing on the horizon is still there or not!"
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
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.
