It was rare for Guo Er to be so thoughtful, which really surprised Lu Zhe!
Opening the leaf wrapper, there were two conch shells, some sea asparagus, half a bottle of coconut seaweed fish soup, and a grilled fish.
There wasn't a lot of food, but it was cooked well and arranged very delicately.
"Hmm, there's protein, carbs and vitamins..."
Then he picked up a conch shell, "Ha, even the shell and liver are removed, how thoughtful!"
Tang Xiaoguo happily said, "Quick, praise me!"
"Oh, you made this this morning!"
"Yup!"
He threw it in his mouth to chew, "Not bad!"
Tang Xiaoguo was disappointed, "That's it?"
Lu Zhe felt that the little girl had gotten up early to make him breakfast, which wasn't easy. The taste was also good, so there was no harm in praising her a little.
"Oh, you're right. When I first put it in my mouth it tasted pretty good, after chewing for a bit the flavor really came out. Let me try it again, wow, delicious, too delicious!"
Tang Xiaoguo smugly pursed her lips, "See, look who made it!"
Lu Zhe sucked his fingers clean, and looked around, "Oh, where is everyone else?"
"You said you needed a lot of rope, so the class leader and the others went to collect banana fiber. As your girlfriend of the day, I'm here waiting for you to get up!"
"I see..."
Tang Xiaoguo's breakfast did warm Lu Zhe's heart. He finished it very quickly.
Seeing that Lu Zhe ate with relish, Tang Xiaoguo was very satisfied. "I've decided, wherever you go today I'll follow!"
"Huh?"
"I promise I'll be good and not make trouble today!"
Lu Zhe pointed down below her, "Can you manage?"
"No problem, as long as I don't get in the water, I can go anywhere."
"Hmm..." Lu Zhe thought for a moment, "We need to stock up on fresh water first!"
"Coconuts again?"
"Coconuts are easy, we need to find other fresh water sources!"
In Lu Zhe's opinion, not only could they vary the taste of the drinking water, but obtaining more fresh water sources could also earn potential points.
"Where to get it?"
"Bring bottles and follow me!"
"Ok!"
Today Tang Xiaoguo's behavior really surprised Lu Zhe. She seemed to suddenly transform from a spoiled young miss into a thoughtful girlfriend.
Promising!
Lu Zhe took her to the bamboo grove.
"Besides coconuts, some bamboos also contain fresh water. We need to find these bamboos and extract the bamboo core water!"
"I know, I've seen it on TikTok. Some can even make red wine!"
"That's pre-infused."
"So boring!"
Lu Zhe used a stick to gently tap the bamboo nodes, making a "tock tock" sound. "Listen to this sound!"
"Hmm..."
"This one's empty!"
"Oh..."
He tapped another bamboo, "This one's also empty, probably because of the long drought."
After knocking on about thirty bamboos, one finally made a "thud thud" sound.
"Here it is, Guo Er get the bottle ready!"
"Ok!"
Lu Zhe took out a nail and poked a hole at the top and bottom nodes of the bamboo. A stream of clear bamboo water flowed out.
"Wow, it really is bamboo water!"
"Try some!"
Tang Xiaoguo drank a little, "It tastes like clear water at first sip, but has a glutinous fragrance if you savor it, better than coconut water!"
They collected half a bottle from that bamboo segment.
"Let's keep looking!"
The two searched the entire bamboo grove, and only gathered 5 bottles of bamboo core water!
But that was pretty good already!
Just then, as Lu Zhe leaned against a slightly withered bamboo, information flashed in his mind, "Discovered new protein source, bamboo worm! +1 potential point!"
Turns out there were bamboo worms inside this bamboo!
Bamboo worms are bamboo bee larvae that live inside bamboo nodes. Plump and white, rich in protein and amino acids with 5 times more nutrients than beef!
Although eating worms was a bit hard to accept, this stuff was too scarce. He'd heard this was even a delicacy in some places, so they had to get it!
Lu Zhe picked up an axe and hacked an opening in the bamboo.
"Crack..."
The bamboo broke off by itself with a swoosh, crashing onto another bamboo.
Although the broken end was a bit messy, their purpose wasn't this bamboo anyway!
Tang Xiaoguo gaped in shock, "Wow Lu Zhe, do you have a grudge against this bamboo?"
"There's good stuff inside!"
Hearing there was good stuff, Tang Xiaoguo immediately squeezed over to look, then shrieked in fright, "What good stuff, those are clearly bugs!"
"Some people also call them bamboo bugs, you know what they're used for?"
Tang Xiaoguo guessed, "Fishing bait, definitely fishing bait!"
"How could such good stuff be used as fish bait?" Lu Zhe said as he picked up the bamboo worms one by one, "To be honest, we can eat these! Fried, grilled, and if there's really no way, they can even be eaten raw! Want to try one?"
Tang Xiaoguo's face turned pale, "Little Brother Zhe, we're...not out of food are we?"
"Indeed, we have plenty of food now."
"Then why do we have to eat this kind of thing!"
"On a deserted island, having as much food variety as possible provides the body comprehensive nutrition, which makes it easier to resist disease!"
Tang Xiaoguo covered her mouth, "No way!"
"Don't worry, although these can be eaten raw, now that we have fire it's still better to cook them thoroughly before eating."
Lu Zhe collected over thirty bamboo worms and put them in a bottle.
Just then, it seemed the cracking bamboo had alarmed the locals.
A bamboo rat poked its head out cautiously!
Lu Zhe's mind stirred!
He'd let one get away last time, no way he'd give it a chance this time!
Because the bamboo rat was so close to Lu Zhe, fancy hunting methods were no match for a swift kick!
Lu Zhe still held the bottle of bamboo worms in his hand. His kick landed squarely on the bamboo rat's body.
The little critter flew out, smacking against a tree before falling down, not moving anymore!
Even an ordinary man's kick would be too much for a bamboo rat, let alone Lu Zhe whose strength now exceeded normal people's by several fold.
Tang Xiaoguo exclaimed in surprise, "Lu Zhe, you...killed a bunny?"
"This is a bamboo rat!"
"You actually killed a bunny?"
"Let me say it again, when in the wild, food variety should be ensured as much as possible!"
Tang Xiaoguo's small brows furrowed in grief and indignation,
"But bunnies are so cute, how could you bear to make it into spicy rabbit head, dried fried rabbit, and rabbit hot pot?"
"Sorry, we don't have the means for that now, roasting is the only way for now!"
"But the smoky flavor would ruin the lovely bunny's originally delicious taste!"
Lu Zhe almost threw his back out.
"Guo Er, can your thinking be a bit more normal? And again, this is called a bamboo rat, long eared ones are called rabbits!"
"You sure?"
Lu Zhe walked over and picked it up to look, "Absolutely no doubt!"
Tang Xiaoguo eyed it for a bit, then shrugged, "Then it's fine! What shall we do next?"
"Today we gathered bamboo water and got some game, next I want to make some salt!"
"We don't seem to lack salt though."
"Eating fish, shrimp, crab and seaweed by the ocean basically provides the salt needed by the body, but once we move inland, replenishing salt becomes difficult. So before going into the woods, we need to make enough edible salt in reserve!"
ave】 Shen Qingling was a man with peerless looks, a cunning mind, and the ability to play both the aloof noble and the innocent sweetheart—a master of seduction who could outplay any player. But after an untimely death, he found himself bound to a system and transmigrated into the tragic "true young master" of a melodramatic novel. In the original story, his childhood sweetheart treated him as a backup plan, his fiancée swore to break off their engagement for the sake of the "fake young master," and his own sister saw him as the family's disgrace. He was nothing more than a rat everyone wanted to stomp on. System 077: "Your mission is to change the original fate and conquer the goddesses." Shen Qingling: "Thanks for the invite. If seduction had tiers, I’d be max level." His childhood sweetheart knelt, begging for forgiveness: "Qingling, I was wrong. Please give me another chance." His ex-fiancée refused to marry anyone else: "Shen Qingling, I was blind before. In this life, I’ll marry no one but you." A yandere CEO went mad for love: "Shen Qingling, you can only like me. I’ll stop at nothing to make you mine!" His green-tea sister clung to him daily: "Brother, look at me, won’t you? I’m more obedient than them—I love you the most~" At first, they scorned and trampled on him. Later, they burned themselves like moths to a flame, all for his sake. His looks were his weapon, his sweet words the bait—heroines obsessed over him, villains turned to madness for him. Shen Qingling became a true male siren, igniting battlefield after battlefield of women fighting for his affection. Years later, when System 077—now one of the elites—was asked how to become as outstanding as it, it lazily exhaled a smoke ring and replied: "Just know how to cheer ‘666’ at the right time."

m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules. Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain!
