216: Chapter 215 One Hundred Bundles of Noodles

At that moment, An Lan's gaze was also drawn over, and she blurted out, "Another Supply Card?!"

The livestream room instantly became lively.

"666, this is definitely hacking, right? An NPC actively delivering cards, this treatment is unmatched!"

"I really want to know what it will be this time. Could it be something super powerful like an infinite energy source?"

"Sailor Moon, set sail!"

"I choose puni!"

"What's puni?"

"Sir upstairs, peppa... no, puni is a super powerful and fierce character who is thin, all yellow, and glows from time to time."

Lu Fan looked at Little Monkey with a face full of surprise, pointing at the card and then at himself, asking doubtfully, "You really want to give this to me?"

Little Monkey excitedly nodded repeatedly, holding the card with both hands and stuffing it into Lu Fan's arms all at once.

In truth, Little Monkey had no idea what the card was. In its eyes, the card was like a magical glowing stone, extremely beautiful.

It wholeheartedly believed this was the rarest treasure it had found and absolutely had to give it to the most trustworthy Lu Fan.

Lu Fan's heart suddenly warmed, and his thoughts drifted far away.

In this world today, pure goodwill was long gone. Everywhere was filled with desire and greed. People schemed against each other, everyone guarded against and calculated with one another, and trust had become the most luxurious thing.

Yet this Little Monkey before him offered its trust unreservedly, which deeply moved Lu Fan.

In the livestream room, the netizens were also having a heated discussion.

"Hey, I recognize it! This Little Monkey is the one that got hypothermia before and was saved by Great God Lu Fan!"

"Wow, so it came to repay the kindness. Doing good deeds really does bring good rewards!"

"Good people get good rewards? Hearing that now feels strangely ironic."

"Society is becoming more developed, but people are becoming more utilitarian. Some beautiful things are disappearing too fast."

"There used to be a popular dance step called the Moonwalk. It used an optical illusion of the human body to make steps that were clearly moving backward appear to be constantly moving forward. Of course, I'm talking about the Moonwalk."

"666, netizens nowadays really dare to say anything!"

"It's not even Mid-Autumn Festival yet, and we're already feeling nostalgic."

Lu Fan raised his hand and gently patted Little Monkey's head, tenderly taking the card it offered. He then picked up the Basket given by the other Little Monkey and said with a smile, "Thank you both! I really like these gifts!"

Seeing Lu Fan accept the gifts, the two Little Monkeys were so happy they hopped and jumped on the spot, leaping up and down, their excitement beyond words.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

[Food Supply Card Discovered]

[noodles: 100 Bundles]

[Activate?]

On the card, a common type of Boiled Dried Noodles was clearly depicted.

"noodles? Fantastic! Now we have a staple food secured!" An Lan looked at the card, her face blossoming into a smile.

"Truly an unexpected delight. Although it's not high-tech, it's something solid that can fill our stomachs." Lu Fan also joined in the cheer.

Suddenly, Lu Fan had an idea. He beckoned to the Monkey King and called out, "Old buddy, come here for a moment!"

The Monkey King scurried over nimbly, looking at Lu Fan with anticipation.

Lu Fan pointed at the card, then patted his own chest, saying seriously, "From now on, keep an eye out for more things like this for me. They're very important."

Having dealt with Lu Fan often, the Monkey King immediately understood his meaning. It thumped its chest resoundingly, as if saying "Leave it to me," its face full of confidence.

Watching this scene, An Lan couldn't help but laugh. "You're really something. The Monkey troop is practically becoming your personal reconnaissance squad."

Lu Fan chuckled. "They have the ability. Of course, those with ability should contribute to the organization!"

After staying with the Monkey troop a while longer, Lu Fan and An Lan decided to return to the Shelter.

Bidding farewell to the enthusiastic Monkey troop, the two walked back slowly, their hearts filled with joy and their hands with gains.

Along the way, the gentle glow of the setting sun bathed them warmly.

"Today was simply magical. The Monkey troop has changed so much, and we unexpectedly got a Supply Card. It feels like a dream." An Lan said excitedly, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Lu Fan responded with a smile, "Absolutely. And it's noodles! We won't have to worry about staple food anymore. We can live comfortably for a good long while."

As soon as they returned to the Shelter, Lu Fan couldn't wait to rush into the Bamboo House, ready to activate this precious Food Supply Card.

Standing in the center of the Bamboo House, he took a deep breath and, with a mix of nervousness and anticipation, loudly declared, "Activate!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, the card instantly transformed into a ray of light and vanished.

Immediately after, one hundred bundles of noodles appeared neatly before them, piled up like a small mountain, filling the little Bamboo House to the brim.

"Hahaha, finally we have staple food! I've really had enough of eating meat every single day!"

Lu Fan was so excited he spread his arms, gesturing at the size of the noodle pile, his face written all over with pleasant surprise.

Looking at this spectacular sight, An Lan also couldn't help but laugh. "It is quite a lot. But we need to preserve them properly. We mustn't waste this hard-won food."

After saying that, she turned and walked into the Storage Room, rummaging to find some dried herbs.

"These are Insect-Repelling Herbs I collected before. Crushing them and sprinkling them around the noodles will prevent insect infestation."

An Lan patiently explained while skillfully crushing the herbs into powder and evenly scattering it around the noodle pile.

Watching from the side, Lu Fan was full of admiration. "You're so meticulous. Without these herbs, it would be a huge problem if all these noodles got infested with bugs."

After saying that, he found a Bamboo Mat and gently covered the noodles to prevent moisture.

Unbeknownst to them, the sun gradually sank in the west, a brilliant sunset coloring the sky. Evening had arrived.

Lu Fan and An Lan decided to go check on their ecological cylinder, their "treasured vegetable garden."

As soon as they reached the ecological cylinder, the two were captivated by the scene before them.

They saw that the originally emerald green chili peppers had ripened, turning fiery red like strings of little lanterns hanging all over the branches. They swayed gently in the breeze, as if waving to them.

"Wow, these chili peppers look incredibly tempting! I bet they're packing some serious heat!"

Lu Fan excitedly rubbed his hands together, his eyes sparkling as if he saw a table full of sumptuous chili pepper dishes.

An Lan also smiled and said, "Yes, let's pick them quickly. We can try fresh stir-fried chili peppers with meat tonight."

Lu Fan immediately sprang into action. He carefully picked the chili peppers one by one, muttering to himself, "One, two, three... Let's eat a lot tonight. We can make the rest into Chili Sauce and enjoy it slowly later."

"I don't really like eating chili peppers. At most, I'll eat a little when it's cooked in dishes. If you like them, you can have more." Watching the excited Lu Fan, An Lan teased with a smile.

Lu Fan turned his head and smiled. "What's wrong with chili peppers? The Great Man loved eating chili peppers the most. I'm just following the Great Man's example.

Let me tell you, I even know a story about the Great Man eating chili peppers.

The story goes that back in the day, when the American Journalist Edgar Snow met the Great Man in a Yan'an Cave Dwelling, the Great Man was lying on a Canvas Deck Chair. On the armrest was a pile of dried red chili peppers, and he was eating the dried peppers as a snack while talking with Snow.

Snow was very surprised and asked the Great Man why he liked eating chili peppers so much. The Great Man said, 'He who does not eat chili peppers cannot be a revolutionary.' This statement had a significant impact in the West.

So you see, chili peppers are essential."
