Making Fire with Strange Things

"This isn't Liang..."

Lu Zhe was just about to say instant noodle flavoring packet, but suddenly felt something was wrong!

Looking more closely, he was shocked!

Damn, this wasn't a flavoring packet, but... a condom!

I got it wrong!

But can I be blamed for this?

Who would have thought someone wanted to stuff it in an instant noodle bag and throw it away!

And it hasn't even been opened yet!

Thinking about it now, no wonder those girls wanted to talk, turns out they misunderstood that I was going to use this thing on them!

And just then, a "ding" sounded in Lu Zhe's mind: "New mission: please help the host use the condom to successfully create fire before sunset!

Reward: +1 potential point!"

Make fire with a condom?

It sounds a bit unbelievable, but on second thought, it's actually feasible!

In the wild, there are several main ways to make fire, fire plow, flint and steel, using natural fire sources like lightning or lava, and lighting a fire by focusing sunlight with a convex lens!

Among these, the fastest, easiest, and safest way is no doubt focusing sunlight!

The difficulty with this method lies in the inability to obtain a convex lens or replacement item, but now, isn't a condom filled with seawater a perfect convex lens?

Looking at the time again, it was already 5 o'clock, the sun would set soon, and although the evening sun wasn't as hot now, the sunlight was still sufficient!

If I hurry, I might really be able to get a fire started!

He quickly tore open the small bag, and as expected pulled out a new condom!

Seeing this thing, the four girls were all frightened and huddled together!

"I knew it was something indecent..."

"What is Lu Zhe trying to do?"

"Stay calm!"

"Get ready... get ready to use it on us?"

"Lu Zhe, don't make things difficult for others, if you must, just come at me..."

Lu Zhe completely ignored them, and instead broke some twigs and rubbed some dry grass!

"Lu Zhe, are you listening to what we're saying!"

"No time!"

Then, holding the condom and bottle, he swiftly ran to the seaside, and after a while, ran back.

He was holding a large water balloon, with a cute dolphin on it.

Next, he placed the twigs and dry grass on the ground, and aimed the water balloon at the last of the sunlight today!

A bright spot condensed on the dry grass.

Only now did the four girls understand what Lu Zhe was using the condom for!

"I think I see what he's doing now."

"So it turns out... it's for making fire..."

"Class monitor, didn't you say..."

"Oh my... how embarrassing!"

The four girls looked at each other, feeling utterly foolish!

That's right, he was just using the condom to build a fire!

It was them, not only imagining all kinds of indecent things, but also coming up with that preposterous duty girlfriend business!

The four girls sat there awkwardly, watching as the bright spot turned into a black spot, the black spot into a black hole, then smoke started billowing out!

Lu Zhe blew on it, and flames burst out from the black hole!

"What are you still dazing around for, go find some more twigs!"

Knowing they were in the wrong, the girls immediately responded with an "Oh", and hurriedly dragged their tired bodies to look around, soon bringing back a small pile!

These twigs were enough for Lu Zhe to get the fire going, but not enough to keep it burning for long!

And at that moment, the sun had just sunk below the horizon!

It was already too late to go back into the woods and chop firewood, so they looked towards the seaside!

Only a quarter of the original crude raft remained beached on the sand!

Lu Zhe weighed it up!

Anyway they wouldn't need the raft for a while, might as well chop it up for firewood!

Thinking this, he went over and dragged the bamboo raft back!

Night fell!

The fire crackled and blazed in the bonfire!

Bringing everyone warmth and comfort!

Lu Zhe killed and plucked the shearwater, skewering it on a stick over the fire to roast!

"So it turns out you used the condom to build a fire..." Ning Shu said awkwardly with a red face!

"What else?"

Lu Zhe gave a cold laugh: "Go on, tell me, who is it that's always thinking strange things?"

The three other girls together pointed at Ning Shu again.

Ning Shu was full of shame: "We thought... we thought... oh never mind!"

"It's all class monitor's fault for leading our thoughts astray!"

Lu Zhe suddenly grilled them:

"I vaguely remember one of you saying 'come at me', who was that again?"

Jiang Yao shrugged: "Not me!"

Tang Xiaoguo shook her head: "Not me either!"

Lin Qianqian sighed: "Nor me!"

Ning Shu blushed and waved her hand: "Oh come on, I thought you were going to lose control! After all we're classmates, I couldn't bear to see you hurt the other girls, nor watch you go down the wrong path, so I was prepared to sacrifice myself to save you! At worst it would only harm me!"

Lu Zhe chuckled: "Weren't you afraid I might actually come at you?"

Ning Shu blushed: "Who... who's afraid of who!"

Tang Xiaoguo pointed at Ning Shu derisively yelling loudly: "You make it sound so noble, but actually class monitor you had the most ulterior motives!"

Jiang Yao nodded: "Now I'm kind of worried for little Zhe."

"Misunderstanding, it was all a misunderstanding!"

Ning Shu nudged Lu Zhe with her elbow, and said: "Lu Zhe, let's just take it as a joke, don't be angry okay?"

"Angry?"

Lu Zhe smiled and deliberately put his arm around Ning Shu's shoulder: "Getting a gorgeous and graceful girlfriend for free, why would I be angry! Right, today the monitor kept me company, so who's on duty tomorrow?"

Ning Shu was puzzled: "Huh?"

"Ah?" The three girls were shocked: "No way!"

"What's wrong?"

"We were worried you might act indecently, that's why we decided to take turns supervising you!"

"Supervising?"

Jiang Yao explained: "Yes, taking turns dating you in name to supervise you!"

Lu Zhe nodded: "Afraid I might act indecently, so you pretend to be my girlfriend to keep me in line, I just don't get your mental gymnastics?"

"If you don't get it then don't think about it, anyway the point is this is something only the best of friends would do for you, don't take it seriously okay?"

"No good!"

Lu Zhe wasn't actually taking it seriously, but pretended to be very hurt: "I provided fire twice, and was misunderstood twice, is this how best friends should act? I'm so sad..."

The girls panicked!

The strong sense of guilt left them all a bit at a loss.

Tang Xiaoguo pouted: "Then what should we do..."

"Don't know!"

"Sorry little Zhe..."

"I need effective psychological comfort!"

Lin Qianqian said: "Then... I'll sing you a song?"

Lu Zhe shook his head!

Jiang Yao said: "I'll give you a back rub?"

Lu Zhe shook his head!

Tang Xiaoguo stretched her little foot over: "Will you feel better if I let you rub my feet?"

Lu Zhe was exasperated: "Tang Xiaoguo can you be normal? You call this psychological comfort?"

Tang Xiaoguo shrugged: "Then what do you suggest?"

"Of course you should take responsibility for what you said!"

Ning Shu thought for a bit: "You mean... we continue taking turns dating you?"

Lu Zhe snapped his fingers: "Bingo! You guys decide on a schedule, and get back to me later! Let me go check on the roasted shearwater!"

Having said that, Lu Zhe happily went off to deal with the roasted bird.

Leaving the four girls looking at each other in dismay!

"Class monitor, you've played us all..."
