Reborn five years ago, Chen Fan participates in a wilderness survival reality show that never existed before. He activates the system and teams up with the popular female star Liu Feifei right from...
"I never expected to find a termite nest so close to our shelter. Last time we had to travel such a long way!"
Looking at the termite nest in front of her, Liu Feifei couldn't help but mutter to herself.
If they had explored this area from the beginning, they could have avoided taking many unnecessary detours.
“That’s absolutely right. I didn’t expect what we were looking for to be so close to us.”
"This also illustrates a point: if you're going in the wrong direction, all your efforts will be a waste of time."
"So finding the right direction from the start is extremely important!" Chen Fan said very seriously.
He paused for a moment and then added, "However, the final result is actually acceptable. Although we took many detours, we also made new discoveries and gained new insights along the way."
As the old saying goes, all roads lead to Rome!
While finding the right direction at the beginning is important, exploring other directions may also bring unexpected surprises.
Life is much the same. The initial direction is important, but the process of hard work is also essential!
Perhaps along the way, you will encounter many happy things and have many unexpected gains.
"Yes, you're right!"
"If we had discovered the termite nest in the first place, we might not have found the sago palm."
"Thinking about it this way, it wasn't actually a detour we took before," Liu Feifei quickly nodded and said.
"Alright, let's move these termite nests back first!"
"This place is quite close to the shelter, so we'll have extra time to explore other areas later."
After Chen Fan finished speaking, construction began.
These termite nests are made of natural clay, which is very suitable for firing pottery.
It is also the preferred clay for many wilderness survivors when making pottery.
Chen Fan started digging and digging at the termite nest with a shovel, digging and digging, digging out a large chunk each time.
In just a few minutes, the basket was filled to the brim.
Meanwhile, the termites, who had just returned from finding food, were completely bewildered.
I clearly remembered that my home was still here when I left, but when I came back, I found that my home was gone...
Holy crap, I'm so numb!
Looking at the bewildered termites wandering around, Pingfan felt both amused and pitiful!
But there's no way around it; it's survival of the fittest.
These adorable creatures are already at the very bottom of the food chain, so it's perfectly normal for them to be eaten.
...
The live stream room was indeed very lively at that moment.
Termite: Holy crap!! I went out to find food and came back to find my house gone?!
"Damn it!! The crystal was stolen, all that work for nothing..."
"Termites: You think you're so great, Chen Ergou? You're so high and mighty, you're so 1080p, you're using our homes to buy you more dishes..."
"Pfft!! I thought it was a very ordinary thing, but the comments in the live stream made me laugh."
"I love being in the live stream room. Everyone here is so talented and speaks so nicely. I love it here..."
"The termites are so pitiful!!"
"Yes! It's so pitiful. I wonder how many termites died to build the nest, and Chen Fan just dug it up like that."
"Damn it! I'm an ant lover, and I want to stand on the moral high ground to condemn the behavior of Chen Laoliu, this kind of scoundrel."
"Count me in..."
"Add one more..."
...
Originally, digging up ant nests wasn't supposed to be funny, but the comments and chat in the live stream amused many viewers.
When it comes to creating entertaining content, these big shots who frequent live streaming rooms are absolutely top-notch!
On the island.
Liu Feifei stared intently at the swarm of termites in front of her.
There was a rather complex expression in his eyes!
Suddenly, he said, "Chen Fan, these termites..."
Liu Feifei looked at Chen Fan with a hesitant expression.
Chen Fan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Damn it! We're doomed!
Is Liu Feifei just being overly compassionate?
Looking into Liu Feifei's eyes, it was clear that she did have such thoughts in her mind.
Surviving in the wilderness isn't scary; what's scary is encountering a companion with an excessively compassionate heart...
If that's the case, the difficulty of survival will rise to an extreme.
Even the viewers in the live stream had the same guess.
After all, girls are generally more compassionate...
Most people who express their love for someone online are actually girls.
Some viewers even felt sorry for Chen Fan for a second.
At this point, Liu Feifei continued to speak.
"These termites are edible, aren't they?!"
The moment Liu Feifei finished speaking, Chen Fan almost collapsed to the ground.
I originally thought Liu Feifei would say something like how pitiful the termites were, since girls are generally more compassionate.
But I never expected her to say something like that.
This was unexpected not only by Chen Fan, but also by the viewers in the live stream...
I thought he was a living Buddha, but it turns out he's a living Yama.
Not content with raiding someone's nest, they actually wanted to devour them.
Indeed, the mouth of a bamboo leaf viper is as poisonous as the sting of a wasp, and the heart of a woman is the most venomous.
"What's wrong with you?! Why do you look so speechless?"
“I’ve seen some foreign wilderness survival videos before, and some survivors often eat termites,” Liu Feifei continued, looking at Chen Fan’s expression.
After all, she had seen these things in videos.
If those foreign survivors ate it without any problems, then they should be able to eat it too!
"Um...it is edible!"
"Especially these young termites, they're crunchy and taste like chicken, with protein levels dozens of times higher than beef..."
Chen Fan quickly smiled and spoke up.
Termites are indeed edible; they are nutritious and rich in 18 essential amino acids needed by the human body!
In some superior termite species, the protein content of this substance exceeds 69%...
"Oh!! Really?!"
"If it tastes this good, should I catch some to take home?"
"It's a good opportunity to change things up, or we can have it as a snack." Liu Feifei's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
If it's so nutritious, then not eating it would be a complete waste.
Since it's wilderness survival, then we have to try all kinds of proteins...
Although ants don't look very appealing, they should taste good.
Chen Fan, who was standing to the side, also sighed, Liu Feifei was indeed completely different from when she first arrived on the island.
It even tries to eat termites!
Then he laughed and said, "Never mind, we don't lack food right now, and these termites are too small to catch, it's too much of a waste of time!"
"We'll come back here when there's no more food."
The main reason is that he really wasn't interested in such small pieces of food.
With so much time, we might as well go and catch some large prey!
Then we can have a delicious and satisfying meal...
