Mark Watney has a huge surprise!

It's not just Mark Watney who brings potatoes, it's because Mark Watney is able to improve the quality of life in David's small village in every way.

Not to mention the variety of modern tools, the exquisite cutlery and a variety of more comfortable clothes make David very happy.

What's more, the food stored at the Mars base includes a variety of meals for the astronauts to choose from. Most of the food was left at Mars, where Mark Watney took it out and showed it to David and Verdin.

"Sweet and Sour Chicken, Hungarian Beef Stew, Pasta, Toast, Meatloaf, Cheese Apple...... is a display of all kinds of food, all of which have been heated up in the Martian base.

"Looks good." Furding looked at the dazzling array of food in front of him, although it was not clear how it tasted, but he looked quite appetizing.

David swallowed, he hadn't been exposed to 'modern' food for too long, and in this relatively backward world, where cooking methods were simple and crude, and seasonings were scarce, he couldn't use them freely, and he could only be more casual in this camp for the past two years.

Even so, the things that are made are just like that, and there is still a long way to go before they are delicious, and there are not many types of food to choose from. It can't be compared to the previous life when you eat whatever you want and how you want to eat.

Since he came to this world, David hasn't thought about letting these otherworldly buns teach him what the 'majesty of a big foodie countryman' is, but the objective conditions don't allow him to study those things.

After a full meal, Mark began to think about what things could be taken here and given to David and Fording, anyway, those things were left in the base and either they would not be used, or they would be thrown there and discarded in the future, it would be better to transport them to Winter Village, and they would be more comfortable to live here.

Just leave enough to leave at the base, and even wait until you figure out how to meet the next batch of astronauts, and before you leave the base, you can bring everything you can to Davy.

With this idea in mind, Mark Watney then became the busiest person in Winter Village, and every day in addition to tending to the potato fields, he just went back and forth to pour things, and he tested a lot of things for this.

At present, whether it is David or Fordin, they only know that people from other worlds like Foding and Laura can travel back and forth between the two worlds relatively freely, but it is not clear what restrictions there are.

After Mark's various tests, he has determined that the things he carries and lifts on his body can be carried to another world normally.

But if he didn't mention it, even the cart that was completely controlled by him, there was no way to follow him back and forth between the two worlds. Not to mention the larger vehicles – Mark actually tried to drive the rover over, but it failed.

In addition, Mark and Furding also tested another restriction, that is, if they want to leave Winter Village, that is, David's world, they must be within a certain range centered on the village.

In other words, if Mark or Fording wants to leave the village, they can move outside the village within a certain area, and then think about returning to their own world, they can leave smoothly.

But if you leave this area, such as by the Winter River and the forest to the north, and then think about leaving here and returning to your own world, then nothing will happen, and you will still stay here.

This means that Mark Watney can't run back to Mars to escape danger if he is too far away from the village and suddenly encounters a beast attack.

Therefore, for safety reasons, Mark tried to move around the village as much as possible, and did not go too far without being accompanied, especially not to go alone near the forest.

Fording didn't have to worry about this, with his strength, he didn't need to worry about his safety at all.

While figuring out these things, Laura came over twice, once because she had lost her elder Rose, who was like a mentor, and the sad Laura came to Davy to confide; The other time she came to tell the good news: she had finally solved all the puzzles, figured out what had happened to her on that island, and solved the problem without any problems.

"Congratulations!"

"I won't be here for the rest of the time, I'll come back to see you when I'm done with what I'm doing and I'm back home!"

Laura greeted David, Fordin, and Mark Watney, who was not yet familiar with her, and left. This time, she kept all her weapons behind, making David's weapons stock even more abundant.

In this generation of stories, from Laura and her partners being shipwrecked on the island, then encountering all kinds of troubles, to Laura solving all the troubles and leaving the island with the surviving partners, it takes only four or five days.

In such a short period of time, Laura has rapidly transformed from a rookie who has just graduated from college and embarked on an adventure for the first time to an archaeologist with super combat effectiveness - with the protection of the holy light provided by David, Laura's progress speed and combat effectiveness have increased a lot.

"It's a pity that I wasn't able to be a part of it personally."

This is David's biggest regret during this time, especially now that he has stronger strength than Laura, he is particularly disappointed that he can't make a scene.

When he is free, he will also think about whether his golden finger will evolve and upgrade in the future? Will you be able to travel to the worlds you are familiar with?

"That would be fun, wouldn't it?"

It's a pity that he can't go anywhere now, so he can only wait for others to come to him!

However, it is not only Laura who has changed dramatically in these few short days, but also for David, because his life has changed dramatically: from a hunter with little hope for a future, to a promising little lord (waiting to be turned positive).

In addition, he has acquired excellent archery talents, learned how to use the Holy Light, is considered a qualified new priest, and his physical fitness has also improved slightly, and it is believed that his physical fitness will continue to improve as time goes by.

Because according to Ferdin's description, David, who is blessed by the Holy Light, does not have to worry about excessive exercise and damage caused by his body, he can exercise himself as crazy as a human being, as long as he is not dead, he can rely on the Holy Light to repair himself, and he will definitely not leave a dark wound.

With Ferding as a guarantor, David had enough motivation to exercise and improve his physical fitness in the following days, and every day after waking up, he would go to the forest north with Ferding to cut down trees, and then return the simply treated wood to the village for storage.

The main reason for starting to cut trees again was that Mark had determined that there was no way to carry a large amount of resources back and forth at once.

Even if Laura is willing to help, for the sake of convenience, it is better to choose wood that can be obtained nearby, otherwise Laura will have to move bricks back and forth by herself...... It was so beautiful that Laura might want to kill David with a pickaxe.

So all David was going to do was ask Laura to help get some glass windows, cement, a small amount of metal and the like, so that the cabin would be better sealed.

In addition to chopping trees and hoarding wood, David would find some time every day to practice bows and arrows, shoot firearms, and learn simple combat skills from Ferdin.

In the rest of his free time, David sometimes goes to the edge of the forest in search of some prey to replenish his fast-depleting meat; During this time, Furding would study English with Mark Watney, and the two would usually choose to study while fishing by the river.

Because Ferding found that Laura before and Mark later spoke the language, he felt compelled to learn it; In the evenings, he would learn the lingua franca of the world from David.

Mark is happy to be Ferdin's teacher, and he wants to see if he can learn the Light.

In this regard, Ferding did not feel anything bad.

In this way, everyone in Winter Village has something to do, and everyone's schedule is very full, but no one thinks there is anything wrong with this kind of life.

Because there is no entertainment in this world, you can't just find a place to lie down and bask in the sun for a day after eating, right? Maybe when basking in the sun can increase the light, David will do it.

Now, he is full of motivation and strives to improve himself, and in this state, he has made rapid progress, and in just half a month, he has become what Fording said: an excellent young pastor.

In addition, the most important thing for several people in Winter Village is that the potato fields have successfully grown young seedlings, and David's heart is full of joy when he looks at the few patches of tender green that have broken through the soil.

Even Mark, who was already sure that he would be able to grow potatoes, was happy, and when he stocked up on enough potatoes, their lives would be better - even if he could never leave Mars and return to Earth, he could choose to live in this world.

Just when everyone is full of hope for the future, Laura returns with more surprises.

"Guys, I'm coming to see you!" Laura, who was wearing a black jacket and jeans, greeted everyone happily: "Although I haven't seen you for half a month, I want to kill you!" ”

"......" David couldn't help but complain, and hugged Laura for a while before asking about her situation: "It seems that you have dealt with all the troubles." ”

"Yes!" Laura nodded, her expression a little lonely.

This adventure has taught her so much that not only has she grown into a good archaeologist and adventurer, but it has also cost her several companions, including the mentor-like Rose.

However, things have passed, grief does not revive the deceased, and Laura, who has adjusted her mentality, has looked to the future.

David, for example, is a world worth studying.

"Until then, we should improve our accommodation." Laura saw the large amount of wood piled up there, and guessed that David had a similar idea: "I can help with this." ”
