The sun rises from the sea level, and a new day has arrived.
Zhang Heng opened his eyes from the cave and found that Ed had sat up, "Good morning, Zhang."
"Morning." Zhang Heng said.
"My God, I wish I could have a hot cup of coffee, fried eggs, sausages, and toast." The former army captain lamented, "But given our current situation, you can't ask for too much, can you? It's a pity that coconuts can bring us There are too few calories, a green coconut can only provide about 200 calories, and even if we don’t exercise, we have to consume 2,000 calories a day. In addition, we also need to expand our diet to obtain richer sources of nutrition, eh , and since we're by the sea, I thought we could take advantage of that."
"What should I do?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Don't worry, you live in the city, which makes your stomach very fragile, even if I tell you how to get food from the sea, there is no way to heat it, a crab may make you have diarrhea and dehydration, So we need fire, and the water source you found before also needs to be heated to drink, as long as it boils for three minutes, it can basically kill most of the bacteria, so I will teach you how to make a fire first."
Ed paused, and began to explain patiently, "The most important thing to start a fire is to find the right wood. The fast-growing soft wood is the best. The fire drill rod and the bottom plate can be taken from the same tree, and the bark can be scraped off. Dry in a sunny place…”
Zhang Heng listened very carefully, but when he actually did it, he found that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.
All morning, he was busy with lighting the fire.
But in the end, he failed repeatedly. In order to rub the drill rod, a large piece of his hand skin was wiped off. After eating a few coconuts, I can only be hungry.
But what's even more frustrating is spending so much effort for nothing.
"Zhang, you can't go from a rookie to an expert in just one day." Ed comforted, "Everything is always the most difficult at the beginning."
"That's true, but failure still makes people feel uncomfortable." Zhang Heng threw away the broken fire drill in his hand and said helplessly.
"Failure is also a valuable experience. Our ancestors evolved from failure tens of thousands of years ago." Ed was as caring as ever, "You are a smart student, Zhang, don't worry, there is still time available. You learn and grow, tell me now, what did you learn from this failure?"
"The wood is still not good. My skin is almost rubbed off and I can't rub it with sparks. I have to try other woods." Zhang Heng said.
However, the weather was unforeseen. At dusk, the island was windy, and at the same time, the head was soon covered with dark clouds. Zhang Heng had no time to clean up, and the wood that was peeled off and placed on the rock wall to dry was wet by the heavy rain.
It also meant that his whole day was wasted.
Zhang Heng was lying in the cave in a large font, staring blankly at the ceiling, "Ed, I don't think your chicken soup for the soul can still work at this time."
"Then give up." Ed calmly said.
"Um?"
"But only before the rain stops, you can only vent your negative emotions so that you can devote yourself to work better."
"Are you always this positive and optimistic, Ed."
"Maybe it's because when I hiked through the Amazon, I encountered a worse situation than now. Thinking about it, I survived the difficulties at that time, and it makes no sense to give up now." Ed said.
"Has experience made us who we are today?" Zhang Heng murmured, and he remembered the passage that the bartender lady had said before, feeling as if he had caught something.
"It looks like the rain won't stop until dark. Go to bed early. There's still a lot of work to do tomorrow." Ed said and lay down first.
The two spent the next night hungry.
…
The next morning, Zhang Heng got up before dawn, mainly because he was hungry, so he ran to the coconut tree to pick some coconuts to satisfy his hunger. The ones that fell were all taller, and it was difficult to smash them down with stones. Zhang Heng knew that he didn't have much time left, and he had to raise the fire quickly, otherwise the follow-up work would not be possible.
So this time he decided to take a little risk. After bringing Ed back breakfast, he went a little deeper into the virgin forest behind the beach.
The final result was gratifying. Not only did he find a tree suitable for making fire, but he also found animals that looked like pheasants. Unfortunately, those little things were very agile, and Zhang Heng flapped his wings and flew away before he got close. Now Zhang Heng has nothing to do with them.
He broke off a branch, brought it back to the beach, and made it in the same way as yesterday. In the afternoon, some smoking sawdust finally emerged from it. According to the knowledge taught by Ed, Zhang Heng put these sawdust on the leaves of the candle fruit tree. On the made tinder, carefully blow air to make the sawdust glow and ignite the tinder below.
After a while, the two people on the island finally got the long-lost flame.
"Good job, now we can avoid the danger of being infected!" Ed said happily.
Zhang Heng never thought that he would be so excited when he saw a fire one day before. Just as he was about to say something, a third person's voice came from his ear.
[Successfully start a fire, get a new skill - Wilderness Survival LV0, game points +3, and activate the personal character panel at the same time, you can check your personal status...]
The voice was a bit familiar. Zhang Heng thought about it carefully, and found that it was the voice that rang in his ears when he was unconscious.
Zhang Heng asked Ed, "Ed, did you hear anything just now?"
The latter was a little dazed, "Should I hear something?" Then he straightened his expression and said with concern, "Zhang, you're not hallucinating because of dehydration, are you?"
"..."
Zhang Heng also wondered if he was dizzy from the sun, because there was a suspected attribute card in front of his eyes.
Name: Zhang Heng
Sex: Male
Age: 19
Player number: 079
Number of rounds played: 0
Current Game Points: 3
Skills mastered: piano lv1, language proficiency lv1 (both languages reach the level of daily communication)
Evaluation: This player is mediocre, has nothing to commend him, and has no special skills. It is estimated that he will not be able to survive the first three rounds of games.
Zhang Heng was speechless. Leaving aside the harsh comments below, why did he only have two skills
Well, he also saw a line of small words under the skill column - lv0 skills are not displayed.
With his amateur level nine piano playing level, he only got a pitiful lv1? The definition of skills in this game is a bit too strict, maybe not one out of a hundred people can do such things as lighting a fire with bare hands in the wild, and it is barely enough to reach the edge of level 0.
This game seems to be more difficult than he imagined.
