15: The new equipment is showing its power.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
[Huaguo Contestant Lu Fan triggered ten thousand times rebate]
[Iron Ingots * 10,000]
"Ten thousand pieces! Can you send me one as a souvenir?"
"I'd rather have equipment handmade by Great God Lu Fan~"
"Our Huaguo Contestant is indeed impressive."
Of course, it was impossible to distribute the Iron Ingots to the public. Relevant departments quickly took over; after all, they could be reused once melted down and reforged.
After seeing this announcement, the audiences of other countries were in an even greater uproar.
"How is that possible? Our country's contestant hasn't even started a fire yet! How could he already have iron resources!"
"There must be a shady deal, those cunning Huaguo people!"
"What's going on with our contestant!"
Huaguo once again attracted the attention of high-level officials from various countries.
Lu Fan went to the shore again to gather some seafood and began preparing dinner for himself. Now that he had fresh water, he decided to stew a pot of soup.
Lu Fan cleaned the freshly caught fish, shrimp, crabs, and shellfish, cut them into chunks, and placed them into a large shell that was serving as a makeshift "pot."
"Good job, Comrade Shell." Lu Fan looked at the hard shell.
He added clear stream water to the pot and sprinkled in some wild onions, wild ginger, and herbs he had gathered. The entire soup base was filled with the fragrance of nature.
After a long wait, the soup was ready. Lu Fan carefully poured it into a simple bowl made of bamboo.
After taking a sip, he closed his eyes, savoring the delicious flavor and feeling the day's fatigue being completely dispelled at that moment.
The viewers in the livestream room were also salivating.
"I'm so envious, pure natural seafood soup, not the kind made from instant seasoning packets."
"Brothers, I'm finally eating abalone too (. β α΄ β.)β¦"
"Something's not right with the guy above."
After finishing the seafood soup, Lu Fan felt satisfied. He set the bowl aside, lay down on his soft bed of leaves, gazed at the starry sky outside the Shelter, and gradually drifted into a dreamland.
The next day, sunlight spilled onto Lu Fan's face through the gaps in the leaves. He rubbed his eyes, stretched, and climbed up from his leaf bed.
He did some simple packing, tucked his newly made dagger and axe into his waist, and filled the basket on his back with dry rations and water, preparing to set out to explore unknown territory.
"Today, I'm going further to see if I can find more resources," Lu Fan muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a desire for the unknown.
He set off along a small path near the Shelter, humming a little tune he had composed, his steps light.
Gradually, the vegetation grew denser. Lu Fan took out his axe and with a gentle swing, the sharp blade easily cut through the branches blocking his way, carving out a small path for him.
He observed his surroundings as he walked, hoping to find some useful plants.
Just then, the Heavenly Dao Prompt gave a reminder.
[Taro plants are about to appear ahead]
Lu Fan hurriedly hacked through the branches and found a patch of green plants in the bushes. The leaves were broad and smooth, with a somewhat peculiar shape.
"What plant is this? It looks a bit familiar."
"It looks like an Alocasia?"
The viewers in the livestream room asked curiously.
Lu Fan stepped forward, carefully observing the patch of plants and touching them with his hand.
"It really is Taro!" He excitedly set down his basket.
Taro is rich in carbohydrates and is an excellent source of energy; for someone surviving in the wilderness, it is simply a priceless treasure.
Lu Fan laughed excitedly and immediately took out his dagger to dig up the soil around the Taro.
As he rummaged around, Lu Fan saw a Taro the size of a rice bowl underneath.
"That big?! This is awesome."
He carefully dug out the Taro tubers and put them into his basket.
[Wilderness Survival Announcement]
[Huaguo Contestant Lu Fan triggered ten thousand times rebate]
[Taro * 10,000]
The viewers in the livestream room began to discuss fervently.
"Great, another rebate triggered. Great God Lu Fan is really awesome."
"Haha, we'll have Taro to eat again soon."
"I still remember my favorite thing to eat as a kid was Spicy Konjac."
"I think Spicy Konjac is made from Konjac starch, right?"
"Is there a difference between the two?"
Wang Tao said with a face full of smiles, "It seems that our Contestant Lu Fan is currently developing the fastest. Not only has he found a stable water source, but he has also successfully crafted weapons."
There were many more Taro plants around, and Lu Fan dug them up one by one.
Lu Fan only stopped after digging up four Taros. He didn't dig up the remaining few plants, leaving them there to continue growing.
With his bountiful harvest, Lu Fan continued to explore forward.
The new equipment played a huge role in his hands. The axe helped him cut branches and clear paths; the dagger was used to dig up plant roots or process small animals he caught.
Everywhere he went, he would observe carefully, looking for possible resources.
Unknowingly, Lu Fan walked into an open area.
[A rabbit is hiding in the grass to your front-left]
Lu Fan immediately became alert and slowly crouched down to observe.
Sure enough, he saw a large, fat grey rabbit grazing ahead.
Lu Fan approached quietly. When he was about 4 or 5 meters away, the rabbit alertly pricked up its ears.
He acted decisively and threw the axe in his hand with all his might.
Before the rabbit could react, the sharp axe struck its body.
The rabbit immediately lost its ability to move and fell to the ground twitching.
Lu Fan went over and picked up the rabbit by its ears. A large gash had been sliced into its back by the axe.
Lu Fan pulled the rabbit's hind legs and took a look; it was a female rabbit, no wonder it was so fat.
His tone was full of mock pity: "I, Lu, never kill women and children with my blade. Unfortunately, Madam, you are not a child. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
After saying that, Lu Fan couldn't help but show a Homelander-style smile.
The livestream room also burst into laughter upon hearing this.
"And you, my friend, you are truly a dog."
"My blade never kills the old or the young, but unfortunately, you're an 'old child'."
"Hahahaha, you guys are simply natural-born villains."

[Healthy Rabbits * 10,000]
"Haha, I want to eat spicy rabbit head."
"I still prefer eating rabbit ears."
