Final Preparations Before Sailing.

But as surprising as it was, just as Lu Zhe had said, this "swing" really did possess most of the functions of a toilet seat!

First of all, you could sit on it, sitting very steadily! It relieved the pressure on the legs, making going to the bathroom an epic tale of relaxation!

Secondly, it was also very sanitary! Digging a sand pit, the tides would wash the excrement out to sea, giving those marine organisms a treat!

Thirdly, it also had the romantic elements that girls aspire to! Just think about it, swinging on a beautiful sandy beach while using the toilet, this is the correct toilet posture for little fairies...

But it still felt like something was a bit off! The four girls looked at this contraption, their expressions a bit complicated!

Jiang Yao said: "But deskmate, if we really use this to go to the bathroom, wouldn't we have no privacy at all?"

Ning Shu agreed: "That's a problem! With the doorway wide open, can't you see everything?"

Lin Qianqian said: "And it seems too close to the camp, wouldn't the smell be very unpleasant?"

Tang Xiaoguo soulfully questioned: "What if it splashes up onto your feet?"

Lu Zhe helplessly said: "Please, we're stranded on a deserted island, are you still concerned about those kinds of trivial things? None of the things you mentioned are actually problems!"

Then Lu Zhe began to explain item by item:

"First is the privacy issue, when you girls need to use it, I'll just avoid you for a bit!

As for the smell issue, there's the sea breeze, and we won't be staying here very long anyway, just endure it!

At most three days, then we'll head out to sea towards the volcanic island! Don't forget, if we go late, the flight attendant might have already served the boxed meals!"

Ning Shu nodded: "What Lu Zhe said makes sense!"

Recalling her earlier undignified appearance sitting on the ground, Jiang Yao also nodded and said: "Although using the toilet while sitting on a swing feels quite strange, it's still better than accidentally sitting in poop again! I give this brainwave a like!"

Tang Xiaoguo said: "I also think it's pretty cool! Lin Qianqian won't get constipated from squatting too long either! Oh right, you still haven't answered my question!"

Blushing, Lin Qianqian said: "Xiaoguo, as long as you don't swing while using the toilet, it shouldn't splash everywhere right."

"Although you say that, it still feels so weird for a boy to be considering these kinds of things for us!"

Although the girls said this, they understood in their hearts that this probably did solve their major problem!

Lu Zhe lazily stretched: "After eating something in a while, we'll start the work for our new day! I'll go back to the woods to do Mighty Baldie's job! Those of you who want to try out the new toilet can line up to give it a try after you eat!"

The four girls together said: "We don't need you to worry about that!"

The sweet potato congee that Lin Qianqian had simmered in the iron pot was sweet and warming to the stomach. Along with the dried fish strips, it gave one a substantial and happy feeling.

After finishing the meal, Lu Zhe found a patch of soft soil near the campsite and placed the sweet potato seedlings there, then peed in a circle around it to warn away gnawing creatures!

Then hefting his stone axe, he went into the woods to chop timber!

In the morning, Lu Zhe felled over twenty more logs, neatly stacking them near the campsite!

Then he remembered to go hack off two coconuts to quench his thirst, but happened to see Tang Xiaoguo slowly walking over!

"You can walk now, huh, Xiaoguo!"

Tang Xiaoguo shrugged. "Still not bad... Hey, where are you going?"

"Thirsty as hell, going to hack two coconuts to drink!"

"Ah, you can't go over now!" Tang Xiaoguo grabbed Lu Zhe's arm, taking out a half bottle of distilled water. "You... drink this first!"

Lu Zhe accepted it and took a mouthful. "What's the matter?"

Xiaoguo whispered: "Lin Qianqian is using the toilet right now, you have to avoid her!"

Lu Zhe very proudly said: "Using the swing toilet I made right?"

"That's right!"

"Oh, the fourth type of seed is finally going to take root then. I'll endure for a while."

After a while, Lin Qianqian walked back with Ning Shu's support!

Not waiting for Lu Zhe to speak, Tang Xiaoguo excitedly cut in to ask: "Boy or girl... whoops, I meant to ask, did you poop okay...?"

Lin Qianqian weakly shook her head: "My stomach feels very uncomfortable, but I just... can't get it out..."

Seeing her feeble state, it was clear she had likely tried for quite some time!

Lu Zhe reassured: "Don't panic, take it slowly!"

Lin Qianqian nodded slightly.

Ning Shu said: "I was accompanying Lin Qianqian the whole time, now I have to go too!"

As she spoke, she ran off towards the swing set.

Tang Xiaoguo said: "Little Zhe, I thought it was just me who liked this swing, but now looking at it, this swing is still pretty popular with the masses!"

With this toilet seat, it really did solve a lot of problems.

The excrement didn't need to wait to be washed away either, just directly thrown into the stone pit, and small fish could even be caught.

Continue collecting resources!

Near evening, some good stuff was found again!

A broken plastic vegetable oil bucket. Unfortunately the bottom had a hole in it, so it couldn't be used as a container to store fresh water!

Under some rocks a beehive was discovered. After smoking out the bees they obtained a brick of honey. Pitch black, like a paving stone, licking it made one's throat sore, but the complex flavor was pretty good.

Good stuff had to be put away properly!

There was also a piece of broken wood with nails stuck in it. Lu Zhe counted, altogether there were over twenty large and small nails hammered into it!

Judging from the degree of decay in the wood, it was clearly quite old.

It was probably deck planking or a mast from a fishing boat that had encountered a storm and broken off.

The wood itself wasn't very useful, but the nails were a premium survival resource!

Just right for making a useful tool!

It could make fishhooks, could make weapons!

Might as well just directly make a fish spear, then when they went down to the sea they could spear fish for something extra to improve their meals!

Lu Zhe split the wood and removed all the nails!

Then he selected two 10 cm long nails and hammered them straight with a rock, grinding them to sharp points!

Then from the pre-reserved 7 cm left outside, he hammered them sideways into one end of a slender length of wood, then used some strips of rag to tightly bind the sides!

And so a double-pronged fish spear was completed!

Lu Zhe tried it out. Although the design was simple, the feel wasn't bad!

Successfully completed another tool, potential points increase by 1!

As for the oil bucket, even with the hole it still had uses!

Lu Zhe cut open the lid with a round knife blade, then filled it with soil, carefully transplanting the sweet potato seedlings inside!

Busying about, another day passed. Lu Zhe went to sleep early, and a sweet dream unexpectedly came his way!

Waking early in the morning, Lu Zhe stretched lazily!

Youth is great!

Currently it was the sixth day stranded on the deserted island, and still no sign of a rescue team!

Lu Zhe worked hard another whole day, the raft was finished, just needing to make a few oars then they could test the waters!

The coconuts on this island were basically picked clean. Aside from those drunk these past few days there were still over twenty left, and five bottles of distilled water were also accumulated!

There were also reserves of dried fish, dried sea snail slices, boiled clams and scallops, seaweed jerky!

Sea purslane and fish mint were also kept aside!

These could serve as supplies for replenishing fresh water and energy while out at sea!

Lu Zhe set the time to depart out to sea as 4 pm the next afternoon, embarking when the sun wouldn't be as scorching hot, striving to reach the volcanic island before night fell!
