261: Chapter 261 is updated daily.

Lin Fan felt his temples throb. "Dr. Xu, you have misunderstood."

Xu Zhixia waved her hand dismissively. "It is fine, I understand."

Su Qingxue looked at her expression and clearly did not understand.

"Xu..."

Before Su Qingxue could finish, Xu Zhixia interrupted her, "I am going back out to look for some other herbs to replenish vital energy and blood."

After Xu Zhixia left, Lin Fan did not dwell on the little episode just now. He looked at the box in his hand, then glanced at the bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce and the bag of rice next to it.

If this ability could provide three items every day, even if it randomly generated a bunch of useless junk, it would still be better than his prompt that could not squeeze out a single word for half a day.

At least they would get to eat rice, and at least they would have one more way to survive.

The earlobes of Su Qingxue were still red. Seeing Lin Fan daydreaming while holding that thing, she hurriedly spoke up, "Lin Fan, get rid of that thing first."

"Alright."

Lin Fan bent down to pick up the still-vibrating contraption and pressed buttons for a long time without finding the power-off key.

Su Qingxue gritted her teeth. "Do you actually know how or not?"

"President Su, I have not taken advanced training for this gadget."

Su Qingxue thought about doing it herself, but then she suddenly remembered something. "Then just throw it down."

"This counts as supplies too." After saying that, Lin Fan finally found the switch and casually threw it into the supply area.

After an hour or so, footsteps came from outside the cave entrance again.

Zhou Kai was carrying firewood, peeking his head inside.

"Brother Fan, can I come in now?"

"Come in."

As the few people came in, the first thing they saw was not Su Qingxue.

It was the bottle of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce on the ground, and then, the bag of rice next to it.

Zhou Kai paused in his tracks.

"Brother Fan, where... where did this come from?"

Song Ya was also stunned. She bent down to touch the rice bag, then looked at Lin Fan.

"We previously tallied the supplies that Yang Ningcong brought, and there was no rice."

Zhou Kai swallowed hard.

As for the food they had eaten these past few days, it was already a blessing just to stay alive.

Fish, shellfish, wild fruits, and jerky—now that a bag of rice had suddenly popped up, he had almost forgotten what rice tasted like.

"Brother Fan, did that bastard Wang Laoliu hide this?"

Lin Fan shook his head. "No."

"Then where did it come from?"

Lin Fan did not beat around the bush either. "Su Qingxue pulled it out of thin air."

As these words fell, the Karst Cave fell silent for a few seconds.

Zhou Kai instead moved half a step forward, as if trying to see if Lin Fan was joking.

Determining that the expression of Lin Fan did not look like a joke, he spoke in disbelief, "Out of thin air? You mean... like magic tricks out of thin air?"

Song Ya walked over to the side of Xu Zhixia, glanced at Lin Fan, and then whispered in her ear: "Dr. Xu, please find an opportunity to help Lin Fan check if he fell off the reef and bumped his head."

She was genuinely worried about Lin Fan; if he injured his head, given the medical conditions on this island, I am afraid...

However, it was fine; no matter what Lin Fan became, she was willing to take care of her.

Xu Zhixia placated Song Ya. "Looking at his sharp gaze, his brain should not have any problems."

After speaking, she walked over to the side of Su Qingxue, first looked at her complexion, and then placed her fingers on her wrist.

"Do you have any dizziness? Chest tightness? Or body fever?"

Su Qingxue shook her head. "No."

"When taking out these things, was there any pain?"

"None either."

Xu Zhixia paused for a moment. "Then the things you saw, are they still there now?"

"Gone."

Liu Feifei glanced at Xu Zhixia. "Dr. Xu, do you really believe this?"

"Conjuring rice out of thin air? If this is true, President Su, conjure another one for me to see."

"I do not want anything else, I just want a bottle of sunscreen."

Xu Zhixia picked up the herbs on the ground and patted the dirt off the roots.

"Why should I not believe it?"

"There are even mutant giant snakes that can dodge bullets."

"Are there few supernatural events on this island?"

"Yang Ningcong sent out a PLB distress signal. Logically speaking, a helicopter should have come for search and rescue within forty-eight hours."

"Yet over a month has passed now."

"No rescue has come at all."

Xu Zhixia snapped a hemostatic herb in half, letting the juice drip onto the stone next to her.

"In this lousy place, science has been useless for a long time. Pulling some things out of thin air, what kind of rare event is that?"

Liu Feifei curled her lips and muttered a few words.

Unable to refute Xu Zhixia, she simply turned her attention back to the bag of rice.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Ever since the cruise ship accident, she had not tasted the flavor of proper staple food in her mouth.

"Fine, whatever, who cares how she conjured it out."

Liu Feifei squatted down, reached out, and touched the bag holding the rice. It was a solid, tangible feel.

"As long as there is rice, that is fine."

"I have almost forgotten what cooked white rice tastes like."

She raised her head and looked at Lin Fan. "Lin Fan, have Song Ya go cook."

"Cook a few bowls of white rice so everyone can have a good meal today."

Seeing that everyone had eager gazes, Lin Fan did not plan to be a party-pooper at this time.

Regardless of whether Su Qingxue could take out things next, they would fill up on this meal first.

Seeing Lin Fan tacitly consent, Liu Feifei immediately ordered Song Ya around. "Song Ya, what are you standing there dazed for? Why are you not going to cook quickly?"

"Mm mm, alright!"

The white rice poured into the clay pot with a rustling sound.

Zhou Kai quickly ran to fetch the fresh water stored earlier.

The atmosphere inside the entire Karst Cave completely changed.

The shadow of death brought by Wang Laoliu just now was instantly dissipated by this bag of rice.

This was the most satisfying meal several people had eaten in the past four months.

...

The next day.

Just as the sky was turning pale at dawn, Su Qingxue opened her eyes.

Having slept and eaten a full meal last night, she recovered a lot of physical strength.

As soon as she sat up, the air in front of her suddenly rippled.

She was stunned.

Three illusory figures once again floated in mid-air directly in front of her.

It was exactly the same as yesterday.

One was elongated, one was square-shaped, and another was round.

It refreshed!

It really refreshed!

Su Qingxue felt her heart race wildly.

This turned out to be an ability that resets every single day!

She immediately turned her head and looked at Lin Fan. "Lin Fan."

Su Qingxue raised her hand and pointed at the empty air in front of her.

"It came out again."
