Chapter 15 Dinner: A Seafood Feast

Finally.

Lu Xian used the wooden shovel he made at noon to quickly dig a one-meter deep pit on the beach near the water.

After waiting for seawater to seep into the pit and form a pool,

he threw some of the stranded seafood that hadn't completely died yet, such as fish, octopuses, and shellfish, into the pit.

The rest was up to fate.

Meanwhile, the inner pot in Lu Xian's hand was filled to the brim with seafood.

As for that large coral trout, it was still on the beach, having just settled down.

"How should I eat these fish, Family members?"

"There are too many, it's annoying."

"Steaming, boiling, roasting, pan-frying, stir-frying; it seems like any of them would work?"

"How do you guys suggest I cook these so I can finish them all?"

Lu Xian said, looking troubled.

[Is he showing off something?]

[Be more confident, remove the "showing off" part; he is showing off!]

[Dear, I suggest you end the stream to eat.]

The people in the livestream room responded one after another.

Lu Xian laughed.

He went back, used the chainsaw to cut two 30-centimeter-wide wooden boards, and brought them to the beach to use as cutting boards.

By the seaside, he used the blade sent by the express delivery to gut the fish and clean out their organs.

"I forgot to set traps by the beach today."

Lu Xian suddenly remembered something and said.

"These organs can be used perfectly as bait for fishing traps."

The fishy smell was too strong and pungent, which most easily attracts fish.

He also considered that the bloody stench might attract some beasts from the forest, so he processed them by the seaside.

Like wild boars or wild bears.

He wasn't sure if this island had such creatures.

For the past two days, besides fish, crabs, and shellfish,

he hadn't even seen a single bird.

Let alone land-walking creatures.

But one cannot be without caution.

"I have to find some time tomorrow to make traps."

Lu Xian said to the audience.

The seafood in his hands was also mostly processed.

At this moment, the sun was setting in the west.

"It's 4:30 PM now."

He checked the countdown for the Myriad Heavens Express and calculated the time.

The current cumulative survival time is 26 hours.

After returning to the camp,

Lu Xian sliced along the spine of the coral trout, opened up the fish body, cut it in half, hung the gills with wooden frames and vines, and placed it by the campfire to smoke.

At the same time, he added banana tree water to that full pot of assorted, rich seafood stew and began cooking it.

"While I have some free time, I'll saw some wooden strips to make tonight's warning device."

"The warning device from last night should have been fine."

He couldn't help but think of what happened early this morning.

"Do you think that thing won't come back tonight?"

Lu Xian brought it up.

[Hehehe, hard to say.]

[Maybe it was a coincidence?]

[Probably the balancing rules, sanctioning Brother Lu.]

[Brother, we have a chainsaw! How can you be scared?]

Seeing everyone's responses,

Lu Xian nodded silently and joked:

"My dear subjects speak reasonably."

Upon hearing this, the livestream room immediately typed 666.

[LMAO.]

[The Streamer still has the mood to joke, which means he's not even panicking.]

He shook his head inwardly and pulled the chainsaw directly.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

The three-meter-long wood was cut into wooden strips and boards.

Subsequently, Lu Xian used these boards and strips, along with vines and tent guy ropes, to build a more secure warning mechanism around the tent.

After finishing, he tested the trap mechanism.

One touch, and it triggered instantly.

Bang~

The sound of the wood colliding was very loud.

It was enough to wake him from his sleep.

"The mechanism is very sensitive; it should be fine now."

Then he reset the warning mechanism.

After doing all this, Lu Xian was finally free.

He sat down by the campfire in a very down-to-earth manner, watching the seafood cooking and the fish smoking.

At this time, the sun had already set.

Red clouds burned in the sky, a stunning sunset.

Lu Xian's gaze passed through the forest, looking at the ocean and the sunset outside.

The evening breeze blew, and the surroundings were quiet and comfortable.

The campfire beside him was hot and warming.

At this moment, he suddenly felt an uncontrollable loneliness.

He missed home.

Then his expression dimmed, and he shook his head with a smile.

[A quiet, handsome man, so handsome~]

[Brother Lu looks like a man with a story, doesn't he?]

[Hmm? What?]

Then Lu Xian's voice came:

"Family members, I'm going to stop the stream for half an hour."

"I need to take care of some biological needs."

The livestream room barrage responded one after another:

[Understood.]

[It's just taking a dump, what's there to be shy about?]

[Even I, a pervert, think the person above is more perverted than me...]

[Master Lu, take care of your body; one drop of sperm is worth ten drops of blood!]

"..."

Lu Xian rolled his eyes and closed the livestream directly.

The barrage window in the livestream room disappeared.

It was as if he was the only one left in this world.

He stood up and stretched.

Pop, pop, pop~

His bone joints made a series of crisp sounds.

He flipped the smoked fish, then walked towards the beach to enjoy the coolness of the ocean...

Half an hour later.

Lu Xian resumed the livestream.

At this time, he had put on his clothes and was holding a wooden stick skewered with a slice of coral trout, roasting it until it was golden, crispy, and fragrant.

And the number of people in his livestream room skyrocketed from 0, quickly rising to 200,000!

This also meant that he already had a certain fan base.

[Good evening, Brother Lu~]

[Asking politely, has the Streamer finished taking a dump?]

[Lu Xian: I really want to thank you!]

[Huh? Did Brother Lu just thank us?]

[Spread the word, the Streamer has premature ejaculation.]

"..."

"I've discovered that every single one of you is a pervert."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll mute you."

Lu Xian complained.

[Jokes are jokes, but don't take the mute threat as a joke~]

[Master Lu, hello! I was wrong!]

[Shh~]

The people in the livestream room immediately became well-behaved.

"By the way, how are the other Survival Challengers who entered on the same day as me doing?"

Lu Xian, having nothing to do, started chatting with the audience in the livestream room.

At this time, the sun had set.

However, the sky was still bright, and the evening breeze was still pleasant.

After some interaction,

Lu Xian learned the general situation of the other nine people.

They had also gradually built their shelters, but two of them still hadn't been able to start a fire in the wilderness.

Only two or three were still starving, while the rest had found food and had decent harvests.

However, among them was an unlucky guy, that convenience store owner.

Not only did he fail to start a fire, but while he was out looking for food today, he was accidentally bitten by a snake hiding in the shadows.

That guy didn't die, but he was in extreme pain as if he were sick, with a fever and dizziness, feeling extremely miserable.

The people in the livestream room said one after another that he was really miserable.

Lu Xian silently watched the audience in the livestream room discuss.

He felt some emotion in his heart.

That's how the Survival World is; strength is important, but luck is equally important.

This is still just a simple beginner-level wilderness survival.

Rules and daily tasks haven't even appeared yet.

Who knows how tragic tomorrow will be?

"What about the ten people who newly entered today?"

Lu Xian brought it up.

No one among the 'same batch' should be able to compare to him.

So he took the opportunity to understand the situation of the 'new students'.

There were too many Survival Challengers who entered before him, so there was no need to know the specific situation.

[Just so-so, nothing special.]

[I feel like among the Survival Talents that have appeared recently, Brother Lu's Myriad Heavens Express is still the most awesome!]

[Brother Lu, you are very popular online now; many large guilds and groups have openly stated that they want you to join them for cooperation~]

[Yeah, those benefits make me jealous.]

The barrage kept coming.

"We'll see when the time comes."

Lu Xian smiled, not paying too much attention.

In the evening in the forest, the aroma of seafood wafted in the air.

"Tonight's seafood feast, let's eat!"
