Chapter 13, Level C

[This is definitely for chopping wood and sawing trees!]

[We should be thinking, what are we going to do with the sawn wood?]

[Saw boards to build a house? Too much material and time, and there is already a tent. I think a fence is better.]

[Be bold, make a wooden boat and go fishing in the sea.]

[A boat... that sinks quickly?]

[Take the saw, chase after the shadow from last night, and take revenge for the scare / doge~]

There were over 500,000 people in the livestream room!

The comments were flying by so fast it was dazzling. If it were not for the 'selected comments' filter, Lu Xian would not have been able to keep up.

Seeing that some people in the livestream room were offering him quite a few suggestions,

Lu Xian had a plan in mind.

The chainsaw had 10 liters of fuel, which would last a long time.

But he still needed to plan how to use it, where, and for what.

He naturally needed to make the most of his ten-day survival plan on the Deserted Island.

Soon.

Lu Xian spent some time digging three water pits next to the banana trees.

He used express delivery plastic bags to line the bottom to store water.

At the same time, he also chopped down the banana trees he had picked fruit from yesterday, cutting them off at the waist and digging a deep, concave pit in the heart of the top section to also store water.

A banana tree only bears fruit once; if he did not cut it down, it would wither sooner or later anyway.

After finishing all this,

Lu Xian went back to check on the crab porridge.

The porridge was already boiling.

The crab meat and shells in the pot were cooked to a bright red.

A fragrant scent of crab meat and rice porridge, mixed with a faint hint of banana, wafted out with the firewood smoke, looking fresh and enticing.

But it still needed to cook for a while longer for the rice to become soft and tender.

[Today's food looks appetizing, so much better than last night's!]

[After all, our Brother Lu's living conditions have improved.]

[Overnight, he has upgraded his gear, with an iron pot and crab porridge on the fire.]

[Look at the other survivalist who entered on the same day next door; they have not eaten anything yet, so pitiful T_T]

[Even those who arrived half a month earlier are not living as comfortably as he is...]

Lu Xian saw these exchanges in the comments.

He smiled to himself with satisfaction.

A good Survival Talent truly can change a person's lifestyle.

The sun rose in the east.

The Survival World Deserted Island Lu Xian-style crab porridge was ready.

The morning crab porridge, with white rice and red crab, was steaming hot.

The rice porridge smelled of crab and had a faint banana flavor.

"Family members, I will taste it first."

"My first breakfast on the Deserted Island."

Taking advantage of the spare time, Lu Xian had crudely crafted a wooden spoon to scoop the porridge.

[Crab porridge first thing in the morning, really nice.]

[Who would have thought that he is eating better on a Deserted Island than I am?!]

[Wuwuwu, how am I supposed to handle this when I am so poor I can only eat steamed buns and pickled mustard greens...]

The viewers in the comments were jealous again.

Lu Xian sat cross-legged on the ground, looking very down-to-earth.

He scooped a small spoonful of porridge with the wooden spoon.

He blew lightly on the steam, put the crab porridge into his mouth, and sucked in some cool air when he felt the heat.

He smacked his lips, savoring the taste.

Then, his expression turned to surprise, and he looked down at the porridge in the pot.

Immediately, he gave a thumbs up and laughed:

"This crab porridge tastes delicious. Adding a bit of seawater was just right; the saltiness is perfect!"

"Delicious, delicious!"

"It is just that it is fresh out of the pot, so it is a bit hot on the tongue."

Then he picked up half a crab, which was a bit hot to touch.

He peeled the crab shell, revealing the tender white meat inside the red shell.

"The crab meat is fragrant and soft!"

"If I could have some ginger and scallion sauce, it would be even more delicious."

The audience in the livestream room saw him eating so deliciously and could not help but swallow their saliva:

[I have decided, I am having crab porridge for a late-night snack, with shrimp, meat, and ginger and scallions!]

[Help~ I just finished breakfast, but seeing him eat like that makes me hungry again.]

[Someone just called me an idiot for drooling on the street (ꐦÒ﹃Ó), I said I was watching a livestream and was not paying attention, but they would not listen to my excuses, wuwuwu...]

[May I ask, is this a Deserted Island food livestream room?]

[This is just too much. It is wilderness survival, yet the Streamer is eating until he is burping?!]

Lu Xian ate and enjoyed himself, feeling wonderful, smiling like a happy two-hundred-pound simpleton.

After a hearty meal of crab and porridge, he had finished off the crab porridge in the pot.

*Burp~*

Lu Xian rubbed his belly, feeling a bit stuffed, and could not help but burp.

"I am full."

"What do you guys think I should do next?"

The people in the livestream room spoke up one after another:

Sawing trees, digging pits to catch seafood, building a house, looking for the shadow, exploring the island.

"I already have a place to stay. We should just strengthen the perimeter defense and build a fence."

"As for a wooden house..."

With ten days of survival time, by the time a wooden house is built, the time will be up.

It is not worth it.

Lu Xian saw many viewers suggesting he build a wooden house and was just about to refuse.

Suddenly, a notification appeared before his eyes:

{Total tips in the livestream room have reached 10 million, triggering an interactive task for the Survival livestream room: Build a wooden house with an area greater than 5 square meters on the Deserted Island to receive a C-Grade survival item.}

Unexpectedly, even with the gift limit, it still could not stop the enthusiastic support of the fans, totaling 10 million in tips!

However, what shocked Lu Xian was that there was actually a C-Grade survival item reward?!

In the Survival World, survival items are bonus items outside of one's Survival Talent.

They come in many varieties, with four grades: A, B, C, and D, and are divided into one-time use, multiple-use, and permanent items.

Items can not only be used in the Survival World but can also be taken back to Earth, having magical effects that can turn decay into wonder!

In short, they are extremely rare.

It is even rarer for a newcomer to have a C-Grade item task at the very beginning.

Originally, he had wanted to build a simple wooden shed next to the tent to store firewood, keep the fire going, and avoid getting rained on.

But now... he could not miss this opportunity.

Thinking of this, Lu Xian changed his tone and said:

"A wooden house, it is not impossible."

No choice, the reward is too good.

"But how to build it is the question. Do you have any insights?"

There are wood materials everywhere here.

But he does not have an iron shovel, machete, wood carving tools, nor does he have nails, screws, or ropes.

His current items only include one chainsaw, ten utility knife blades without handles, three express delivery cardboard boxes, tent guy ropes and stakes, and some black charcoal branches.

[A newcomer building a wooden house on the second day? Hehehe, this is interesting.]

[Mortise and tenon construction method, super practical!]

[Can't you use rattan vines instead of ropes?]

[Are there any experts in this field who can guide our Brother Lu?]

[...]

Lu Xian watched the comments for a while seriously.

He obtained some useful information from the large volume of comments.

He could not claim to be an expert in mortise and tenon architecture, but he knew a thing or two.

He had personally made a chair with a simple mortise and tenon structure.

If he were to build a wooden house, the principles should be similar.

He did not intend to make it too complicated; without many tools or time, simple and functional would suffice.

He stood up.

He scanned his surroundings, looking for suitable trees.

The trees here were thick and straight, with canopies blocking the sky.

Straight and large trees could be seen everywhere.

After locking onto his targets, he crouched on the ground and used a branch to draw a simple sketch on the ground.

In his mind, he outlined a wooden house structure, as well as the overlapping and interlocking of key mortise and tenon joints, and estimated how much and what size of timber he would need.

Don't even think about a wooden villa; he felt that if he could make a primitive wooden house, that would be good enough.

"I am starting work, Family members."

"Hope it goes smoothly."

After drafting the plan in his mind, Lu Xian said this and picked up the chainsaw.

Currently, food and water were no longer a big problem.

If possible, he naturally wanted to find a flowing freshwater source.

But the path through the forest on the Deserted Island was difficult to traverse, and he did not know the situation inside the island.

The deeper he went, the shrubs and weeds grew taller than a person, and there were countless thorny vines entangling feet and blocking the way.

Let alone finding a new water source, it would be good just not to get lost inside.

So, it is better to finish the interactive task.

The sun rose in the east, and the morning sunlight was exceptionally vibrant.

*Buzz buzz buzz buzz~*

A vibrating sound of machinery sawing wood echoed on the beach of the Deserted Island.

One by one, the thick and straight trees fell, turning into logs.
