“Xiaoxing, why did you move things to Yan Chu’s place?”
After lunch, it was nearly three or four o’clock. On the first day, everyone was not familiar with the whole island. In addition, they had to abide by the time limit of recording at ten o’clock on the first day of the competition. Their diet and activities were inevitably affected to a certain extent. After today, they did not need to abide by the rules of when to start the live broadcast. They could even begin the live broadcast even when they were sleeping if they did not mind.
Linda and her party ate some plants they did not know much about and then sent Linda to pick up other plants they picked and walked towards Sheng Xiaoxing.
“Because Big Brother Yan and I have formed a team, it’s convenient for the two of us to live together. If I get up early the next day and go into the forest to explore, I won’t wake you up.”
Sheng Xiaoxing handled some of the things they picked, especially the snake meat. The current weather was not suitable for food storage. She wanted to peel and cook the snake meat and air dry it. Such a long snake was enough for them to eat for a long time.
Sheng Xiaoxing, who thought she was of little use to her team, was full of energy and wanted to do more for the team.
“After all, you are of the opposite sex, so it’s somewhat inconvenient. You can continue to live with me.”
Linda came here with an important task. Both David and Sai Daman hoped that she could bring Sheng Xiaoxing to their team. Although Sheng Xiaoxing was a bit useless, her transcendent talent in plants was unmatched.
Just saw the materials they used for cooking today, the one buried under the mound, and the fruits they had never seen before. It looked very filling. Judging from this ability, they could also give the other more protection.
“No inconvenience. Don’t we all stay in sleeping bags?”
Sheng Xiaoxing shook her head like a rattle-drum. She slept in a tent with her idol, a benefit that no one could ask for. Anyway, Sheng Xiaoxing was very happy. She felt that she might have a fast heartbeat or insomnia at night, but she was still ecstatic.
Especially after getting along today, she felt that Yan Chu was better than what she had seen on StarNet before. When she was with him, the sky was blue, the sea was clear, the trees were green, and even breathing was easy.
Of course, there was no need for this little girl to tell Linda, an unfamiliar person. Sheng Xiaoxing casually found a high-sounding reason to push off Linda’s invitation.
She was not really stupid either. Linda left quietly in the middle of the night last night, and without telling her anything during the day, she formed a group with David and the others to the forest, which meant that she was not a player she cared about in the eyes of the other party. Didn’t they find it because they saw their rich harvest today?
They might think that all their team’s harvest today was because of her. How could they know that all this was due to Big Brother Yan?
Sheng Xiaoxing was a little proud and felt that Yan Chu was more powerful, which made her happier than herself.
“That’s fine, but if you’re not used to it and want to move back, I’ll always welcome you.”
Linda saw that Sheng Xiaoxing refused her offer, and the smile on her face remained unchanged.
“By the way, you have a lot of research on plants. These are the fruits we found. Can you help us distinguish which are toxic or non-toxic and edible?”
Linda brought a lot of things, and this was the harvest of the three of them today.
Unlike Yan Chu, they did not know which was edible and which was inedible. When they saw plants similar to fruits, they put them in their bags. Almost everyone’s bags were packed.
“These?”
Sheng Xiaoxing rummaged through the fruits Linda and the others had picked. Many of them were unknown to her, except for a few they met today. Yan Chu identified them as poisonous fruits, and she helped pick them out. She was helpless about the rest.
“You have to ask Big Brother Yan. He is better than me in botany.”
It’s just that the competitor was not the enemy of life and death. Sheng Xiaoxing was kind-hearted and would not watch others eat poisonous fruit.
“You are a top student in the Department of Botany. How could Yan Chu be better than you?”
Linda’s smile faded. She thought it was Sheng Xiaoxing’s excuse. She merely did not want to tell her what she knew.
“If you don’t believe it, forget it.”
Linda’s expression was cold, and Sheng Xiaoxing’s expression was indifferent immediately afterward.
“Haven’t you discovered that many plants on this planet have never been seen before? Many of them are species that have disappeared in the history of interstellar. Even some have never appeared in any records. The only plants I study are those that existed before today or those that went extinct in the past one or two thousand years, also some rare species. The things on this planet have long been beyond my level of knowledge.”
Sheng Xiaoxing solemnly explained to Linda.
“Big Brother Yan has a vast reserve of knowledge. Many of the plants we found today were seen in some not widely circulated historical materials in the Federation. So if you want to find out which of these bags of fruits are edible and which are not, only Big Brother Yan can explain it to you among us.”
Linda was still a little skeptical, but Sheng Xiaoxing’s attitude made her have to believe her words.
“I don’t know much. But if you are interested, you can come and listen. I’ll tell you what I know as much as possible, but I can’t guarantee that what I say is 100% correct.”
Yan Chu put some fruits that were easy to store into the tent and then picked out some soft and perishable fruits to eat as soon as possible. When he came out, he heard the conversation between Sheng Xiaoxing and Linda.
The Gu siblings and Xu Santong’s team also listened to their activities. Seeing that Yan Chu generously showed that he wanted to teach them the ability to recognize some plants, they all gathered over without any hesitation.
David and Sai Daman, who got sent as the vanguard, no longer hid in their tents and walked toward Yan Chu with excitement in their eyes.
They did not need to know much. It was enough to know the kinds of fruits they eat today. Even if they were not sure about others, those kinds must not be poisonous anyway.
【I feel that Yan Chu is still too kind. This is a competition. It is normal for him not to teach those people】
【Yes, looking at Linda and the others’ performance, I feel that even if Yan Chu taught them, he would not be appreciated by anyone】
【But because of Yan Chu’s kindness, so many people like them. Now it is not just a game. They are living on an unknown planet. The interstellar rescue team has not locked their coordinates yet. Yan Chu only wants everyone to live by doing*24doing*from 干 [gàn] that can mean as to do or to f*ck (vulgar) so】
【Where is the person who discredited Yan Chu before? In my opinion, he is a qualified field explorer. He can identify more plants than the top students of the botanical department. He can cook that delicious food without spices and kitchen utensils in the wild. If he is not a master of field survival, then who is?】
Those few voices that questioned Yan Chu’s ability had rarely appeared up until now, especially the two famous IDs in Yan Chu’s live broadcast room, the one who would live eating s*** and the other live eating keyboard. It had been a long time since these two people bubbled up, not knowing whether it was of shame or something.
“Let’s start with the poisonous ones.”
Yan Chu looked at what Linda and the others had harvested. Teaching materials were plentiful today.
“If you want, you can also take out the indistinguishable plants you harvested today, and let’s talk about it.”
Yan Chu said this mainly to Gu Xihe and the others. Xu Santong and Ou Yang did not get much today, let alone take out any plants to exchange and share.
Gu Xihe glanced at his little sister, then returned to their camp and took out a bag of not too many fruits.
Two of them knew their specialties, so they had made plans before entering the forest. They went for the animals. As for the indistinguishable plants, they abandoned them at the beginning, and they picked some fruits that seemed to be edible on the way back after catching two pheasants.
“Well, you can write down what I’m saying now. It’s best to draw the appearance of these fruits. You can avoid them if you see them at that time.”
After Yan Chu finished speaking, the others hurriedly ran back to their tent to get paper and pens. Gu Xixi folded her arms on her chest and stared at Yan Chu. She seemed confident in her memory.
“This is the trade route.”
Yan Chu took out a bunch of black-purple fruits from Linda’s backpack. The shape was similar to a miniature version of a grape.
“Toxic, it can cause fainting and diarrhea. In serious cases, it can cause convulsion or death.”
“This is ginkgo fruit, which is generally non-toxic, but the ginkgolic acid in ginkgo fruit is allergenic and cytotoxic. Some people will have contact dermatitis after exposure to ginkgo fruit. Ginkgo fruit cannot be eaten raw, and eating it raw will cause vomiting, dyspnea, and cramps.”
Yan Chu looked at the fruits of these plants and found that many of them were species from the previous earth, but there were some variations. If it were not for the notes in the Plant Encyclopedia that were indeed those kinds of fruits, he almost did not recognize these fruits.
“Also…”
Yan Chu patiently explained each fruit to them, from the appearance and characteristics of the fruits to whether they are edible, how to eat them, and their toxicity. Some also talked about the books on which those fruits had been recorded, especially several wild fruits with high toxicity, to prevent these players from eating them by chance because they did not trust him.
【So handsome, so cool! The school owes me a Teacher Yan. If the botany teacher at the time were as handsome and gentle as him, I would never fail the course】
【Don’t be afraid. It’s too late to study now. Just ask Mr. Yan if he can start classes after he comes back. I’m the first one to sign up】
For a while in Yan Chu’s live broadcasting room, there was a lively scene of smashing rockets and spaceships. Douxiong’s platform-wide announcement packed when they smashed spaceships ten times. Many people who had not paid attention to this game got attracted by the local tyrants in Yan Chu’s live broadcast room and then went into the pit.
【Isn’t this a live broadcast of wild adventures? Why do I feel like I have entered a teaching channel, but the teacher is too handsome and poisonous, and I don’t want to go out】
【Plus one Upstairs88Upstairswhich is commonly used in post comments and forum comments, refers to the person who responds to the same topic post one step ahead of you, sometimes referred to as LS, but the ones he taught seemed to plant unseen before. Is what he taught truly correct?】
As soon as this question came up, fans who had been squatting in the live broadcast room for a long time helped them popularize science. Basically, the plants that Yan Chu introduced in the forest in the morning were confirmed to be recorded in some remote historical materials, so his teaching was credible. Some of the teachers who did this research did not necessarily have his level.
Handsome people were attractive, and handsome ones with inner qualities were even more attractive. It was a simple process from passers-by to passer-by fans and then to die loyal fans.
“This kid is amazing.”
An old professor looked at Yan Chu, who was explaining to other players seriously on the video screen, and could not help but admire him.
He had studied plants for more than 60 years. In the end, some plants that he could not recognize got mentioned by this young man. Of course, the old professor would not be jealous of Yan Chu’s extraordinary talent, but he could not help but feel a little emotional. Why did he not find such a good seedling before? It was enough to bring him directly with such a student who did not need a brain to collect plant samples in the forest.
The old professor was even excited. When the rescue team found the planet, he wanted to ask the child in the video if he would like to be his student and join the botany research.
Now in this room were all respected elders. Many people thought the same as the old professor. Yan Chu still existed on a deserted island because of his astonishing knowledge reserve.
Yan Chu’s mouth was dry, and he finally talked about the last fruit, the apple given to Xu Santong today.
“This fruit is really delicious. It’s crunchy and sweet, and it has a lot of water. Now we are short of drinking water. If we can store more of these fruits, we won’t have to worry about drinking water in a short time.”
Xu Santong had the right to speak and said, “The center part of the apple is a little bitter, especially the black core. It was hard for me to bite it to pieces.”
When Yan Chu asked Sheng Xiaoxing to deliver the apples, he forgot to tell Xu Santong how they would eat them instead. Out of habit, Yan Chu felt that everyone would eat apples and forgot that the group of people in front of him had seen apples for the first time.
“I think the middle part may not be edible. When I was peeling the apple just now, I felt that it was different from the outer pulp, so I didn’t eat it.”
Yan Chu could not say how he knew that the core should not be eaten. After all, it was not written in 《The History of Aqua-Blue Star’s Demise》.
“Maybe it’s just like what you said, Yan Chu. It was the first time I ate it, so I ate it whole.”
Xu Santong laughed a little embarrassedly.
Thinking that he had just introduced the eating experience of apples to everyone and had made a clear explanation of the process of eating the core, the spectators could not help laughing. Even Gu Xixi had a slight smile on her eyebrows and eyes.
With such a smile, the atmosphere among the people suddenly became much better. It was no longer full of rejection as it was at the beginning.
“That’s probably the case. Later, when you go into the forest, you can choose the fruits that are non-poisonous accordingly. For some fruits that I can’t identify, you can treat them as poisonous. Besides, if you find any fruits that we haven’t found, you can also bring them back for me to have a look. Maybe I know them.”
Yan Chu’s generosity had won him the favor of many players, although it also made others see him as a threatening opponent.
After the lecture, the sky was already a little dark. At this time, no one would think about going into the woods again. The night was always the most terrible time in the forest.
“Do you believe in intuition?”
Gu Xihe had already discussed with Yan Chu about setting up a table, so naturally, he brought the pheasant meat they had not eaten over at dinner time. While Yan Chu was cooking the food, Gu Xixi asked softly.
The pitter-patter sound of chicken dripping on the firewood and the distance traveled made Gu Xixi’s words not heard by the other two teams.
“This deserted island is more dangerous than any of us thought.”
Gu Xixi looked deeply at Yan Chu and spoke.
She had watched Yan Chu’s live broadcast before. At that time, she felt that the man in front of her was very fake and pretended. Everything in the live broadcast seemed to be from a performance. Now, she had direct contact with him and found that he was not what she pictured.
At least the other party could teach them the ability to identify fruits without reservation, which proved that the other party was still a good person and maybe could be trusted.
“Do you believe it?”
The corners of Gu Xixi’s mouth raised slightly, and the curvature was barely invisible.
“I believe.”
Yan Chu smiled back.
All but her were dead. Wouldn’t it be dangerous?
*****
“Yes, that’s right, that’s it.”
The doctor’s face was flushed, the blood vessels on his neck were slightly convex, and he was excessively excited.
In front of him, initially, a cattle-head with a body of a sheep monster was still a body of sheep. But the head was no longer the head of a cow. There was a sense of distortion between a cow and a sheep.
The doctor injected a tube of bright red potion into the monster and watched it change.
Little by little, at a speed that could be caught by the naked eye, that strange head began to compress. And flesh and blood flowed out from under the cracked skin, slowly shrinking and deforming.
After a few hours, the doctor’s eyes were almost boiling red. With shaking hands, he pressed the switch, and a clear spring sprayed from the transparent glass room and poured it on the strange animal’s head.
After the blood was washed away, what appeared in front of him was a complete goat. No one could see what it was like before.
“I can finally leave this deserted planet.”
The doctor coughed while laughing. He looked at a specially created screen in the laboratory. In the distance, there were a few bonfires and tents. A few figures could be vaguely seen, and some were eye-catching under the candlelight.
The game was about to begin, he thought.
