5: Successfully got to eat cooked food

Relying on his experience from his previous life, Lu Fan was very adept at the Bow-drill Method of starting a fire.

Finally, after drilling back and forth for half an hour, sparks appeared in the wooden groove.

Lu Fan quickly placed the tinder on the sparks and gently blew oxygen onto it; the blue smoke grew thicker and thicker.

Soon, small flames licked at the dry grass, gradually spreading into a warm fire. A gratified smile appeared on Lu Fan's face as he added some dry branches to it.

Lu Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's finally started. Luckily these shoes are domestic; otherwise, the shoelaces would have snapped before the fire even caught."

Bullet comments flew across the livestream room.

"Great God Lu Fan is amazing! His primitive survival skills are truly maxed out."

"I was worried just now that he'd have to eat raw meat, but this solved the big problem instantly."

"Hahaha, the quality of domestic goods is just that good."

Wang Tao: "Excellent. Having fire means avoiding raw food, which prevents many diseases and adds another layer of security for wilderness survival."

Watching Lu Fan successfully start a fire, the Chinese audience was sincerely happy for him.

Meanwhile, Andre was still using a hand drill to start a fire.

The Chinese audience was highly amused.

"I heard Andre also knows the Bow-drill Method, but he didn't have any clothes or shoelaces when he went over."

"This is great entertainment."

Lu Fan quickly gathered a pile of firewood and built an earthen stove with stones, placing a stone slab on top.

Lu Fan skillfully placed the seafood on the stone slab. As the slab's temperature rose, the moisture from the seafood sizzled out.

He then casually placed a few shelled creatures next to the fire to roast.

As Lu Fan kept flipping them, the fresh aroma of the seafood wafted into his nose.

"Fragrant, it's truly fragrant!"

Lu Fan used two wooden sticks to pick up a shrimp, removed the head and tail, and stuffed it directly into his mouth. The juice of the fresh shrimp immediately filled his mouth.

Then he picked up another one and faced the sky: "Come on, brothers, I know you can see this. Come, have a bite."

The livestream room instantly became lively.

"Brother, you're loyal enough, but unfortunately we can't eat it."

"Enjoy it slowly, Great God. Seeing you eat so heartily is a feast for our eyes too."

"I'm so jealous!"

While chewing a mouthful of shrimp meat, Lu Fan said indistinctly, "This is pure, natural, pollution-free seafood. You can't get it this fresh on the outside."

Yu Rui: "I'm so envious. I want to eat pure, natural, pollution-free seafood too."

At this moment, a cheer came from Andre's livestream room. After much effort, he had also successfully started a fire. However, he had nothing to roast and could only eat some blueberries.

After finishing the shrimp, Lu Fan picked up the golden-brown roasted shellfish, pried open the shells, and revealed the tender meat.

He took a satisfied breath and continued to enjoy this delicious feast.

The audience in the livestream room was immersed in this joyful atmosphere, constantly sending interesting bullet comments. Everyone seemed to have forgotten that this was a cruel wilderness survival challenge.

After eating his fill, Lu Fan let out a burp and couldn't help but pat his stomach happily.

"Pass it on, Lu Fan is a seal in disguise."

"Pass it on, Lu Fan likes seals."

"Pass it on, Lu Fan is wearing leopard print underneath."

"You guys upstairs, don't be too ridiculous."

Compared to Lu Fan's luxurious dinner, the situation of contestants from other countries was not very good.

The contestant from Japan was still wandering around looking for food. With night approaching, he still hadn't found a place to stay.

The Indian contestant took a hardcore approach and just slept where he was, though he did eat a few ants in the process.

After watching Lu Fan's dinner, the audience couldn't help but check on the other two contestants.

"Great, Ling Yue has also found a place to stay and built a Shelter directly in a tree."

"As expected of a Special Forces Soldier, he's strong."

"At least Ling Yue has coconut meat to eat."

In An Lan's livestream room, her Shelter was already built; after all, girls are a bit more dexterous. However, she hadn't found anything to eat yet.

The audience in the livestream room expressed their sympathy.

"My An Lan, what will you do with no food?"

"It's so heartbreaking."

"At least she has a Shelter now and doesn't have to sleep outside."

"Little sister An Lan, go find Lu Fan quickly; he has seafood."

Even though she had no food, An Lan was not discouraged and searched the surroundings for useful resources.

Seeing the progress of the three Chinese contestants, Zhao Hangjun couldn't help but nod: "Looking at the current trend, our three contestants have had a very smooth start. As long as they keep it up, they can survive much longer."

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Fan started working again.

"The revolution is not yet successful; comrades must still work hard."

Lu Fan took the coconut leaves left over from building the shed and began weaving.

"Great God Lu Fan is busy again. What do you think he'll weave this time?"

"Looks like a basket, but I'm not sure."

"I'm willing to call Lu Fan the Ancient Greek God of Weaving."

Lu Fan planned to weave a Fish Trap. The mouth of the trap had many inward-pointing stiff leaves, which would allow prey to enter but not leave.

As his fingers flew, the traps gradually took shape.

Wang Tao: "It's clear that this is a Fish Trap. It seems Contestant Lu Fan already has his next plan."

The discussion in the livestream room continued unabated.

"Wow, Brother Lu Fan's fingers are so flexible."

"What's with that comment upstairs?"

After weaving the Fish Traps, Lu Fan walked toward the shore. Finding a tidal flat with many rocks, Lu Fan prepared to set traps there.

After Lu Fan had walked a distance, the prompt popped up again.

[Setting traps here will greatly increase the fish catch.]

Lu Fan immediately stopped and looked around; there were many exposed rocks.

"This place is indeed not bad." Lu Fan subconsciously rubbed his chin.

After putting some leftover seafood into the Fish Traps, Lu Fan secured them in the water.

Then, following the prompt's suggestion, Lu Fan placed five Fish Traps along the coast.

After setting them up, Lu Fan quickly returned to the Shelter; only by the fire did he feel a sense of security.
