4: Use a bowstring to rub wood and start a fire!

After drinking two coconuts in a row, Lu Fan couldn't help but let out a burp of satisfaction.

"Refreshing~~ *hic*~"

At this moment, the Wilderness Survival Announcement popped up again.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

[Huaguo Player Lu Fan triggered the ten thousand times rebate]

[Coconuts 5 * 10,000]

[Huaguo Contestant Ling Yue triggered the ten thousand times rebate]

[Coconuts 6 * 10,000]

As a Special Forces Soldier, Ling Yue also used his agile movements to pick several large coconuts at the same time, triggering the rebate alongside Lu Fan.

The two announcements instantly ignited the passion of the Huaguo people, and the Huaguo livestream room immediately became lively.

Wang Tao even couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Good, excellent! Contestant Lu Fan and Contestant Ling Yue are both doing great, once again creating a large amount of resources for our country."

"Haha, this is so satisfying! With so many coconuts, how long will it take to eat them all?"

"Hundreds of thousands of large coconuts—that's going to be a mountain."

The Huaguo audience sent out barrages of comments in jest.

Meanwhile, some foreign viewers felt jealous seeing the Chinese contestants trigger the ten thousand times rebate repeatedly. A few viewers from Japan barged into the Huaguo livestream room.

"It's just good luck. Huaguo people only know how to rely on such opportunistic methods."

"Our Japanese warriors will sooner or later find resources ten or a hundred times better than coconuts."

Seeing this, the Huaguo audience was displeased.

"Their Japanese contestants found coconuts too, but they couldn't pick them because they were too short."

"Hahahaha!"

"This is the strength of our Chinese contestants. If you don't understand, stop barking."

Under the bombardment of the Huaguo audience, those few foreigners could only leave the livestream room in disgrace.

At this time, the officials also released a new announcement.

"The Central Government has decided that, aside from keeping a portion of the coconuts for seed cultivation, the remaining coconuts will be distributed to the audience through a lottery."

"Wow, the official big shots are the GOAT!"

"Come on, come on! My luck is bursting right now. I just sacrificed countless lives; I'll definitely win!"

"Person above me, there's something wrong with you."

Yu Rui couldn't help but clasp her hands together: "I hope I win, I hope I win..."

"Ah, Rui Rui is so cute."

Meanwhile, people from other countries could only look on with envy, jealousy, and hate.

After solving the water problem, Lu Fan began to build a Shelter. He decided to construct a triangular-structured shed.

First, he collected many dry branches and sticks from the surroundings. Using three thicker sticks as a frame, he then interspersed rain-resistant leaves onto the structure.

Coconut leaves were an excellent choice, so he climbed the coconut tree again and broke off many leaves.

Coconut trees belong to the Arecaceae family and have wide, long leaves, making them perfectly suitable for building a Shelter.

Drawing on his extensive Wilderness Survival experience from his previous life, Lu Fan quickly wove two large rainproof sheets using coconut leaves.

After fixing the two large rainproof sheets onto the frame, a simple yet practical triangular Shelter took shape. Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction, then found some soft dry grass to spread inside, and a comfortable resting place was complete.

The audience in the Huaguo livestream room watched with great interest.

"Lu Fan builds things so quickly; he seems very professional."

"It feels like he's woven things countless times; he's very skilled at everything from grass ropes to sheds."

"Who says young people can't do it?"

"Ling Yue next door is also very impressive. As expected of someone from a Special Forces background."

On the Japanese contestants' side, they were still frustrated about being unable to climb the coconut trees.

They tried to find other water sources, wandering aimlessly in the forest, their physical strength constantly depleting.

The audience in their livestream room was also full of curses.

So far, besides Huaguo triggering the rebate, only Andre from the Pretty Country had triggered it.

"I'm dying of laughter. That Andre triggered 40,000 blueberries, which adds up to over ten kilograms, hahaha."

"Those blueberries were even divided up by their higher-ups."

"Our country is still the best."

After finishing the Shelter, Lu Fan's stomach was also growling with hunger.

He stood up and stretched his waist. For a moment, his arms were so sore he grimaced: "I haven't exercised like this in so long; it's really going to be the death of me."

"Time to eat, time to eat. Nothing is more important than a meal."

Then Lu Fan spread out all the seafood he had caught. Looking at the seafood covering the ground, he salivated with craving.

In the three years since he transmigrated, he had been eating various synthetic nutritional meals every day, which were truly disgusting.

Of course, as a populous nation, it was already not easy to ensure the people's food and clothing under such scarce resource conditions.

The audience in the livestream room also became excited.

"Finally, it's the eating broadcast segment I've been looking forward to the most."

"Great God Lu Fan, can you share some seafood with me?"

"seafood! I'm so envious; I've only ever eaten canned food."

But the audience in the livestream room began to worry again: without fire, how would Lu Fan handle tonight's meal?

"There should be fire first. We aren't Japanese; we don't just eat things raw."

"Starting a fire is too difficult. So far, no one has successfully started one."

"Andre from the Pretty Country, who claims to be the Fire Virtue Star Lord, has been trying to make fire by drilling wood for several hours. His hands are all blistered, and he still hasn't produced a fire."

Seeing the comments, Zhao Hangjun explained: "In a Wilderness Survival situation where medical conditions are extremely scarce, we must reduce or even avoid eating raw and cold food, because these foods contain many parasites, which can cause great harm to our bodies."

Lu Fan stood up and found a bow-shaped stick, then untied his shoelaces and tied them to the stick, forming something similar to a small bow.

Then he found some dry branches and leaves and placed them on a piece of hardwood. He found another stick and wrapped the bowstring around it.

Then, using a stone to press down on the stick, he repeatedly pulled the bowstring back and forth to make the stick rotate.

"What is this called? The Bow Drill Method?"

"This method is indeed much more time-saving and labor-efficient, and it doesn't strain the hands much."

"So smart! Now let's see if he can successfully start a fire."

"He must succeed!"

However, some foreign viewers remained stubborn.

"When it comes to starting a fire, our country's Contestant Andre is definitely more professional."

"That's right, we will definitely be able to start a fire before you Chinese contestants."

"Foreign dogs, don't get ahead of yourselves. Watch how our Contestant Lu Fan slaps your faces hard."

Seeing this scene, Zhao Hangjun's eyes couldn't help but light up: "Although I don't know how he did it, I'm certain he has rich survival experience. Making fire this way really saves him a lot of time."

With Lu Fan's rhythmic pulling back and forth, the stick's rotation speed became faster and faster. After ten minutes, blue smoke could already be seen rising.

"It's smoking! It's smoking!"

"It actually works!"
