17: Boiled taro for dinner, bow and arrows ready for firing.

Lu Fan decided to process the Taro he had dug up first.

He first put the Taro tubers into a seashell, added clear stream water, and then boiled them slowly over the fire.

During the process, he stirred them from time to time with a wooden stick to ensure the Taro was heated evenly.

Gradually, a fresh fragrance wafted from the pot. Lu Fan took a breath: "As expected, staple foods are different; they can't be compared to those flashy, cheap seafood types."

In the livestream room.

"It's okay, Great God Lu Fan, just give the seafood to me. I won't mind."

"Ah, I just like the flashy ones."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hangjun couldn't help but speak: "Carbohydrates, as one of the essential nutrients for the human body, are indispensable."

Zhao Hangjun took a sip of water and continued: "Clearly, seafood and meat lack carbohydrates, which is why we can't just eat dishes without rice."

Yu Rui couldn't help but laugh: "Great God Lu Fan has such good luck and is so strong."

After boiling for about half an hour, the Taro became soft and waxy. Lu Fan pressed down lightly with a wooden spoon, and the Taro fell apart. He scooped out the cooked Taro and set it aside to cool.

Next, Lu Fan began to process the rabbit, skillfully skinning and butchering it.

With the dagger, he was even more adept at these tasks.

After a simple marinade with wild ginger and Wild Green Onions, he skewered the rabbit with a wooden stick and placed it over the fire to roast.

While the rabbit was roasting, Lu Fan found some Wild Green Onions and wild ginger, chopped them finely, and sprinkled them over the Taro to make a Cold Tossed Taro salad.

The viewers in the livestream room watched Lu Fan prepare the delicious food, their mouths watering with envy.

"Lu Fan is making Cold Tossed Taro; that's so creative!"

"This Taro looks so delicious; I want to try a bite."

Wang Tao also said excitedly: "Only our Chinese contestant can manage to eat such a luxurious meal."

Eating the soft, waxy Taro gave Lu Fan a sense of peace and satisfaction.

And then there was the rabbit, dripping with fat.

After finishing everything, Lu Fan couldn't help but let out a burp.

"Comfortable."

After the meal, Lu Fan checked the snake tendon and found it was ready for use.

The snake tendon had become tougher and more elastic after his processing.

So, he decided to finish the Bow and Arrow today.

No sooner said than done. Lu Fan first found a very flexible branch, carefully peeled off the bark with his dagger, and polished it until it was incredibly smooth—this was the prototype of the Bow Body.

He carefully measured the length and curvature, ensuring the bow could withstand tension while remaining easy to carry and use.

The viewers in the livestream room watched his busy figure and sent out barrages of comments: "What is Lu Fan doing? It looks so professional!"

"He's not making a Bow and Arrow, is he? That would be amazing!"

Wang Tao also asked curiously: "What is Lu Fan doing? It looks quite complicated."

Zhao Hangjun explained: "This is likely the Bow Body. Flexible and elastic branches are good materials for making bows."

After preparing the Bow Body, Lu Fan began to process the snake tendon. He used a small knife to cut the snake tendon to the appropriate length and then toasted it over the fire to make it even tougher.

In the livestream room.

"Even in death, that snake is doing well for itself by hanging out with Great God Lu Fan."

"Even though it's dead, it can still shine and contribute to our Great God Lu Fan."

Once the Bow Body and bowstring were ready, Lu Fan began the assembly.

He first drilled small holes at both ends of the Bow Body, then threaded one end of the snake tendon through a hole and secured it with woven twine, doing the same for the other end.

He gently pulled the bowstring, feeling the elasticity and power of the Bow Body, and nodded in satisfaction: "Good elasticity. The power should be significant."

Next, Lu Fan began to make the arrows.

He found some relatively straight branches and used a knife to shave them into the appropriate length and shape.

Since he didn't have feathers for the moment, Lu Fan used some stiff leaves cut into shape and tied them to the ends of the arrows to increase stability.

At the head of the arrows, he used his dagger to sharpen the branches and then toasted them over the fire to make the arrowheads harder.

To increase the lethality of the arrows, he also found some sharp stone flakes and secured them to the arrowheads with twine, creating stone-tipped arrows.

The viewers in the livestream room watched Lu Fan make the arrows and praised him in the comments.

"These arrows look very professional. I hope they come in handy."

Zhao Hangjun analyzed: "The production of arrows is also crucial. The sharpness of the arrowhead and the leaves at the tail can affect the arrow's flight path and lethality."

After finishing the Bow and Arrows, Lu Fan picked them up, pulled the bowstring, and tested the balance of the arrows; it felt pretty good.

He stood up and tried a shot at a distant tree trunk. Because he hadn't used a bow in a long time, he was a bit rusty, and several arrows missed.

But after several attempts, Lu Fan gradually regained his feel for it.

Twang!

Accompanied by the vibrating sound of the bowstring, the arrow was firmly embedded in the tree trunk.

Lu Fan couldn't help but give a crooked smile.

The livestream room became lively at this moment.

"Awesome!"

"What a precise shot! As expected of Great God Lu Fan."

"Ah, Lu Fan Oppa, shoot me!"

Wang Tao couldn't help but remark: "I really don't know how many more surprises Contestant Lu Fan has for us. This superb archery skill is not something an ordinary person can master."

Zhao Hangjun also nodded in agreement: "Having a Bow and Arrow is equivalent to having a means of long-range attack. It's very convenient for both defending against enemies and hunting."

After finishing all this, Lu Fan yawned.

"So sleepy, I'll sleep for a while."

By the time Lu Fan woke up, it was already dark.

The weather at night was a bit cold. Lu Fan boiled a bowl of seafood soup and drank it down, feeling warm.

Midway through, the seashell cracked. He held the fragments, feeling somewhat helpless.

"This won't do; the quality is too poor. I still need to make a pot."

The viewers in the livestream room also began to speculate.

"Make a pot? How is Great God Lu Fan going to do that?"

"I think he could carve one out of wood."

"How can wood work? It can't withstand the fire."

Wang Tao: "Teacher Zhao, how do you think Contestant Lu Fan will make this pot?"

Zhao Hangjun said with a smile: "This depends on Lu Fan's choice. Since he has already found iron, he could choose to forge an iron pot."

After reflecting for a moment, he added: "Of course, forging an iron pot would be somewhat difficult. He could also fire Pottery, but so far, Contestant Lu Fan hasn't found the relevant materials."

Yu Rui couldn't help but join the discussion: "I wonder how Great God Lu Fan will solve the pot problem. I'm really looking forward to it."

Of course, Lu Fan couldn't see any of these discussions in the livestream room. After tidying up, he returned to the Shelter.

Unable to sleep, he used some bamboo strips and vines to weave some Basket.
