8: Chapter 8: Going to Sea? The Terrified Foreigners!!!
After An Ke finished resting, he began to process the collected coconuts.
There were too many coconuts; with his personal strength, it was impossible to carry them all back to the camp.
He was seen picking up a coconut, then shaking it by his ear, tilting his head to listen to the sound.
After hearing the "slosh-slosh" sound of water...
An Ke showed a satisfied expression and nodded.
Conversely, if he didn't hear any water sloshing inside the coconut...
An Ke would discard the coconut without hesitation.
He didn't have the slightest bit of regret.
An Ke didn't mind, but for the viewers in the live broadcast room, their eyelids twitched as they watched.
It's heartbreaking!
"What is An Ke doing?"
"Why is he throwing away some of the coconuts?"
"What a waste!"
"Yeah! If you don't want them, give them to me!"
"..."
In the real world, coconut trees have long been extinct, although 15,000 coconut trees have been manifested.
However, people in most areas still won't be able to taste coconuts for a short time.
So many people were very envious and felt that An Ke was being wasteful.
"sibal! This Dragon Country Kid is simply spoiling food!"
"Bakayaro! We must strongly condemn this Dragon Country Kid, he's too hateful."
"Don't they know that wasting is shameful?"
"In my opinion, such a person should be directly stripped of his contestant status."
"..."
In the program, Kang Hui saw that many people did not understand An Ke's actions.
He couldn't help but look at Professor Wu beside him and say:
"I see that many people in the live broadcast room cannot understand student An Ke's actions."
"Including myself. Professor Wu, can you explain it to everyone?"
Professor Wu chuckled and explained kindly:
"You've all misunderstood An Ke. His knowledge makes this old man feel amazed."
"He isn't wasting coconuts; he's distinguishing whether there is water and flesh inside the coconut, or if it has gone bad."
"Eating a spoiled coconut will not only fail to fill the stomach but will also cause illness."
"Once you have diarrhea in the wild, the feeling is very unpleasant."
Professor Wu's words made everyone realize the truth.
While everyone was lamenting, they were also curious about why An Ke knew so much.
He is just a young man; it's impossible for him to have had contact with coconuts.
...
In the live broadcast room.
After An Ke picked out the good coconuts, he selected the largest one.
Then he walked to several reefs by the sea.
Next, he found the tip of the coconut and placed it between the rocks.
Then he began to smash it with a stone.
During the process of smashing the coconut, An Ke unexpectedly found that it actually added proficiency.
[Strength +1...]
As his strength increased, An Ke smashed open the hard coconut in no time.
He comfortably finished the coconut juice again, then began to eat the Coconut Flesh.
Although various proficiencies had surged throughout the day, people eventually get tired.
He needed to replenish some food.
If one wasn't enough, then he would smash a few more coconuts to line his stomach.
At this point, the dinner problem for An Ke had solved the issue of the pre-meal dessert.
"A dinner with dessert can be considered sumptuous," An Ke smiled in his heart.
Moreover, he had eaten several coconuts; could other contestants have a more sumptuous pre-dinner dessert than him?
An Ke was confident that, in all probability, there were none.
After slightly lining his stomach, An Ke collected the other coconuts.
Originally, he intended to take them back to the camp, but now he changed his mind.
He found a shaded spot and then buried the coconuts.
This could prevent them from being eaten by animals and also prevent the water in the coconuts from evaporating.
After processing the coconuts, An Ke was not in a hurry to gather the seafood and return to the camp.
Instead, he still chose to continue staying by the beach.
In the program, Professor Wu became puzzled: "Since he already has seafood, what is An Ke doing staying by the beach?"
"Night is approaching; returning to the camp is the right way to go."
Everyone in the live broadcast room was also curious about what An Ke planned to do next.
He clearly already had a sumptuous dinner.
An Ke naturally knew that his dinner, when placed in the wilderness, was already considered sumptuous.
But he couldn't be sure what the dinners of contestants from other countries were like.
To ensure 100% that he would take first place, he planned to continue looking for some marine products.
An Ke was very covetous of the rewards from the national fortune system.
The first reward was Immunity to All Poisons, making him unafraid of being bitten by poisonous snakes or insects, which undoubtedly made An Ke like a fish in water in the wild.
The danger factor was reduced by quite a lot.
The second was Master-level Ceramic Techniques, allowing An Ke to make various vessels.
It allowed him to do more things; used properly, he could spend the winter very comfortably.
Therefore, An Ke was now very expectant of the third reward.
If it were obtained by contestants from other countries, it would also increase their competitiveness.
Being merciful to competitors is a major taboo!
"The beach has actually been searched almost enough, next..."
An Ke set his sights on the sea, where the seawater was rolling, showing off its power to people.
Smiling, An Ke murmured in his heart.
"Next is the time to truly test the Power of Natural Affinity."
Using the Power of Natural Affinity to attract fish in the shallow sea to take the bait themselves.
At the same time, it can also improve swimming and diving proficiency.
An Ke was not sure how the subsequent game would proceed, if the national fortune system did not automatically change the map.
Then one day he would have to consider leaving this island and looking for a new continent.
Watermanship is very important at sea.
An Ke would do something that kills two birds with one stone immediately.
Now An Ke's [Collection Proficiency], after the improvement from building the camp just now, had reached a fairly high level.
In a short while, he found a very handy tree branch.
Because there was no more time, dusk was approaching.
Looking at the simple and somewhat sharp tree branch, An Ke felt it was enough.
Paired with Natural Affinity, catching fish shouldn't be difficult.
As An Ke reined in his thoughts, he held the harpoon and walked quickly toward the sea.
During this time, he took off his clothes, leaving only his boxer shorts, and then resolutely leaped into the sea.
During this time, many girls in the live broadcast room screamed after seeing An Ke's figure.
"Sisters, did you see that just now?"
"I saw it! An Ke's abs are so awesome!"
"Licking the screen..."
"Where can a man like An Ke be found?"
"..."
Aside from the infatuation of some women, there was also surprise in the bullet comments!
"An Ke chose to go into the sea at this time?"
"It looks like he plans to catch fish."
"He has already obtained a lot of seafood, and moreover, there is a river fish, he's still not satisfied!"
"So hardworking! But I like it!"
The ones who broke down the most were the Foreigners.
Originally, although the probability of them winning and completing the task was slim, it wasn't impossible.
But now An Ke continuing to fish undoubtedly directly cut off their hope.
Many Foreigners began to pray, hoping that An Ke would not catch any prey.
