6: A bountiful catch of plump bamboo rats

After returning to the Shelter, the sky had turned dark, and Lu Fan added some more firewood to the fire.

After laying down some more dry leaves in the Shelter, Lu Fan lay on them; they were very soft.

Recalling the day's experiences, Lu Fan felt a bit excited.

However, feeling a bit bored alone, Lu Fan spoke toward the sky.

"Brothers, I'm actually on Wilderness Survival now, I'm a bit excited. I wonder if you can see me right now."

"I hope tomorrow will be another lucky day."

The livestream room was also very lively.

"We can see you; I can even see the pimples on your face."

"Lu Fan, I want to eat seafood."

"Lu Fan, get up and sleep again."

Wang Tao: "It's dark. Fortunately, all three of our contestants have built their own Shelters, which greatly reduces the risk of being exposed outside."

Lu Fan talked to himself occasionally and soon fell fast asleep.

Lu Fan slept very soundly this time. The next morning, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves and spilled onto his face, waking him up.

"Good morning, brothers."

The livestream room immediately became active.

"It's not early, it's already 10 AM."

"Good morning, everyone."

Lu Fan gave a big stretch and couldn't wait to head toward the place where he had set the traps yesterday.

"Let's go check my traps."

Along the way, his mood was both expectant and nervous, not knowing if his hard work would pay off.

When Lu Fan reached that stretch of Stony Beach, he saw some unusual movement on the water's surface around the fish traps from a distance.

He quickened his pace, and as he drew closer, a surprised smile immediately appeared on his face. Each fish trap was filled with all kinds of fish, including plump Perch and lively shrimp and crabs.

Lu Fan excitedly lifted the fish traps one by one, feeling the heavy weight, his heart full of joy.

Wang Tao, who had been waiting in the livestream room early on: "I didn't expect Contestant Lu Fan to catch so many fish first thing in the morning. This directly solves today's food problem; it's truly a great start."

Yu Rui: "Contestant An Lan got up early to search for food and some Medicinal Herbs nearby."

"Now, I don't have to worry about the food problem for the time being!" Lu Fan said to himself.

Lu Fan quickly organized the catch and brought it back to the Shelter for processing and storage.

He knew well that in this wilderness, one must be fully prepared to deal with unknown challenges.

At this moment, the Wilderness Survival Announcement rang out.

[Wilderness Survival Announcement]

[Huaguo Player Lu Fan triggered ten thousand times rebate]

[Sea Bream 4 * 10,000]

[Squid 2 * 10,000]

[Hermit Crab 3 * 10,000]

[...]

"Wow, I just woke up and saw Great God Lu Fan's seafood rebate."

"He really caught fish, too strong."

"A beautiful day starts with the ten thousand times rebate."

Lu Fan returned to the Shelter with a full harvest, his heart filled with a sense of achievement.

He used a stick to poke aside the charcoal ash in the fire pit; after coming into contact with the air, the fire reignited.

Having no water to wash up, Lu Fan could only rub the sleep from his eyes.

"Breakfast first."

First, Lu Fan picked out a few plump Perch, skewered them with branches, and placed them over the fire to roast slowly.

Under the reflection of the firelight, the fish meat gradually turned a tempting golden brown, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Next, Lu Fan cleaned some shrimp and crabs and threw them directly into the fire to roast. In a short while, the shrimp and crabs were also roasted until their shells were red and the meat was tender, fresh, and juicy.

Lu Fan couldn't help but swallow his saliva and impatiently began to taste these delicacies.

Every bite made him feel incredibly satisfied, as if the entire vitality of the wilderness was integrated into this breakfast.

The viewers in the livestream room were also attracted by this delicious breakfast, leaving messages expressing their envy and admiration.

"Wow, it looks so delicious!"

"Great God Lu Fan is really amazing; not only can he catch fish, but he can also make gourmet food."

"I also want to go to Wilderness Survival and experience this kind of life."

"Forget it, you would have starved to death long ago."

After finishing his meal, Lu Fan decided to explore the outskirts of the camp.

He picked up a straight wooden stick and walked toward the forest.

After walking for several tens of minutes, a Prompt popped up.

[Go straight for 500 meters to find a Bamboo Forest. Note: there might be Bamboo Rats.]

Seeing this Prompt, Lu Fan immediately became happy; after all, this was real meat, which fish couldn't compare to.

He quickly returned to the camp, grabbed a burning wooden stick, and rushed toward the Bamboo Forest.

Soon, he saw a large area of Bamboo Forest, lush and green, very pleasing to the eye.

Lu Fan walked around the Bamboo Forest to observe and discovered several Bamboo Rat holes.

Perhaps because there were no traces of humans here, the Bamboo Rat holes were not particularly hidden and were easily discovered.

Lu Fan decided to use smoke to flush these Bamboo Rats out. He found a total of four holes, and these holes were all interconnected.

He found some stones to block two of the holes, then used branches to start a fire at one of the holes, stuffed all the burning fire into the hole, and sealed it with stones. A large amount of thick smoke entered the hole.

Lu Fan found a relatively thick wooden club and guarded the last hole.

Sure enough, in a short while, a Bamboo Rat appeared at the hole, wanting to escape. Lu Fan decisively struck down with the club, and the Bamboo Rat twitched for a bit before dying.

This scene made the viewers in the livestream room exclaim how impressive it was.

Zhao Hangjun: "Bamboo Rats contain a large amount of fat, which is exactly what Contestant Lu Fan needs right now."

Yu Rui couldn't help but say: "These big rats look so terrifying."

The male viewers in the livestream room:

"Rui Rui, don't be afraid, I'm coming to protect you!"

"The one above, let me do it; my chest muscles are bigger."

Using the same method, Lu Fan caught a total of three fat Bamboo Rats.

He returned to the Shelter carrying the Bamboo Rats, his heart full of joy.

"Hehe, today's dinner is sorted," he said to himself with a smile.

After returning to the Shelter and resting for a moment, Lu Fan began to process these Bamboo Rats. He skillfully skinned them, cleaned the internal organs, then skewered the Bamboo Rats with branches and roasted them over the fire.

As the flames licked them, the Bamboo Rats gradually emitted a unique fragrance. The oil belonging exclusively to animals began to secrete and constantly dripped onto the ground.

At this time, the livestream room became lively again.

"These Bamboo Rats look really fragrant!"

"Lu Fan's survival skills are simply a perfect score!"

"Is it just me who feels these big rats are a bit scary?"

Wang Tao: "I'm really curious where Contestant Lu Fan learned such exquisite cooking skills. You should know that much of our food now is processed by machines."
