Chapter 10: Survival on a Desert Island (4)

The sun rises over sea level and a new day arrives.

Zhang Heng opened his eyes from the cave and found that Ed had already sat up, "Morning, Zhang." ”

"Early." Zhang Hengdao.

"Oh my God, I wish I could have a hot cup of coffee, omelettes, sausages, and roasted toast." The former army captain lamented, "But given our current situation, we can't ask for too much, can we?" Unfortunately, coconut can bring us too few calories, a green coconut can only provide about 200 calories of energy, and even if we don't exercise, we will burn 2000 calories a day, and we also need to expand our recipes to get a richer source of nutrients, well, since we are by the sea, I think we can take advantage of this. ”

"What am I going to do?" Zhang Heng asked.

"Don't worry, you live in a city, which makes your stomach very fragile, even if I tell you how to get food sources from the sea, there is no way to heat it, a crab may make you diarrhea to dehydration, so we need fire, and the water source you found before, it 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 to make a fire first."

Ed paused and began to patiently explain, "The most important thing to make a fire is to find the right wood, those that grow quickly are the best, and the drill rod and the base plate can be taken from the same tree, scraped off the bark, and dried in a sunny place......"

Zhang Heng listened very seriously, but when he actually did it, he found that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.

All morning, he was busy making a fire.

But in the end, it turned out to be a repeated failure, in order to rub the drill rod, a large piece of the skin of his hand was wiped off, and he grinned in pain, and because he had no time to go out to find food, he and Ed could only go hungry after eating the few coconuts they had stored before.

But what is even more frustrating is that it takes a lot of effort and nothing comes of it.

"Zhang, you can't go from a rookie to an expert in just one day." Ed comforted, "The beginning of anything is always the hardest. ”

"That's right, but failure still makes people feel unpleasant." Zhang Heng threw away the broken drill fire rod in his hand and said helplessly.

"Failure is also a valuable experience, and our ancestors evolved from failure tens of thousands of years ago." Ed was as caring as ever, "You're a smart student, Zhang, don't worry, there's still time for you to learn and grow, now tell me, what have you learned from this failure?" ”

"Wood still doesn't work, my hands are almost out of rubbing and I can't rub the spark, I have to try other wood." Zhang Hengdao.

However, there were unforeseen storms and clouds, and the island was windy at dusk, and at the same time, there were soon dark clouds overhead, Zhang Heng didn't have time to clean up, and the wood that was peeled off and dried on the rock wall was wet by the torrential rain.

It also means that his whole day has been in vain.

Zhang Heng was lying in the cave in a large shape, looking at the top of the cave with blank eyes, "Ed, I don't think your chicken soup for the soul can still work at this time." ”

"Then give up." Ed said calmly.

"Huh?"

"However, only before the rain stops, you can only vent your negative emotions, so that you can better devote yourself to your work later."

"Are you always so positive? Ed. ”

"Maybe it's because I was in a worse situation when I was trekking across the Amazon, and I got through it when I think about it, and now I don't have any reason to give up." Ed Road.

"Did experience make us who we are today?" Zhang Heng muttered, he remembered what Miss Bartender had said before, and felt as if he had faintly caught something.

"It doesn't seem like the rain will stop until dark, go to bed early, there's still a lot of work to be done tomorrow." After Ed finished speaking, he took the lead and lay down.

The next night the two spent the night hungry.

……

The next morning, before dawn Zhang Heng got up, mainly hungry, he first ran to the coconut tree to pick a few coconuts to satisfy his hunger, a piece of coconut growing in a low place nearby was almost finished by him, the rest were relatively tall, it was difficult to smash down with stones, Zhang Heng knew that there was not much time left for him, he had to hurry up and raise the fire, otherwise the follow-up work could not be carried out.

So this time he decided to take a little risk, and after bringing back breakfast for Ed, he went a little deeper into the primeval forest behind the sandy beach.

The final result was gratifying, he not only found a tree suitable for fire inside, but also found an animal suspected of being a pheasant, but unfortunately those little things were very agile, Zhang Heng flapped his wings and flew away before he got close, at least now Zhang Heng has nothing to do with them.

He broke off a branch and brought it back to the seaside, concocted it in the same way as yesterday, and finally drilled out some smoking sawdust from it in the afternoon, Zhang Heng put these sawdust on the velvet made of the leaves of the candlefruit tree according to the knowledge imparted by Ed, and carefully blew the air to make the sawdust glow and ignite the velvet below.

After a few moments, the two people on the island finally got the long-lost flame.

"Well done, now we can avoid the danger of getting infected!" Ed said happily.

Zhang Heng never thought that he would be so excited when he saw the fire one day, and was about to say something, but at this moment, a third person's voice came from his ears.

[Successfully make a fire, get a new skill - Survival in the Wild LV0, game points +3, and activate the personal character panel at the same time, you can check your personal status ......]

This voice is a little familiar, Zhang Heng thought about it carefully, and found that it was the voice that sounded in his ears when he was unconscious before.

Zhang Heng asked Ed, "Ed, did you hear anything just now?" ”

The latter was a little dazed, "Should I hear anything?" Then he looked straight and said with concern, "Zhang, you won't be hallucinating because of dehydration, right?" ”

“…………”

Zhang Heng also wondered if he was stunned by the sun, because there was an extra thing in front of him that was suspected to be an attribute card.

Name: Heng Zhang

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Player ID: 07958

Number of rounds played: 0

Current Game Credits: 3

Mastery skills: piano lv1, language proficiency lv1 (two languages to reach the level of daily communication)

Rating: The player is mediocre, has nothing to praise and has no special skills, and is not expected to survive the first three rounds of the game.

Zhang Heng was speechless, let's not talk about the caustic evaluation below, why does he only have two skills in terms of skills?

Well, he also saw a small line of text below the skill bar - lv0 skills are not displayed.

With his amateur ninth-level piano performance, he only mixed up a pitiful lv1? The definition of skills in this game is a bit too strict, and there may not be one in a hundred people who can do such a thing as making a fire with their bare hands in the wild, and they are barely on the edge of level 0.

The game seemed to be more difficult than he had imagined.
