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...
Meanwhile, on the island, Liu Feifei had finished washing up and tidying up her makeup and sleeping bag. When she came out of the shelter, Chen Fan's breakfast was already prepared.
Since it's a big, mixed stew, no special skills or methods are needed.
Come on! Try my cooking.
Chen Fan brought a large pot of stew to Liu Feifei.
The soup was white and fluffy, but it didn't look very appealing.
"It looks delicious..." But Liu Feifei still said something that didn't come from her heart.
After all, it was breakfast that Chen Fan made for her. Saying it wasn't good would probably make Chen Fan sad, and she was a kind girl.
"Cough cough..."
Chen Fan just coughed awkwardly twice; even he himself couldn't stand the sight of this thing.
Liu Feifei actually said it looked delicious just to save face; that's utterly heartless!
The two quickly finished their breakfast, even drinking all the fish soup.
Although it doesn't look very appealing, it tastes alright!
"Chen Fan, what are we going to do next?"
"Shall we go up to the island today?"
After finishing breakfast, Liu Feifei asked.
As Chen Fan had said before, the resources here are not abundant, and it is impossible to survive here for a long time.
Firstly, there is no stable freshwater resource here, which alone makes it impossible for them to survive here in the long term.
Therefore, entering the jungle is a necessary choice!
Let's see how things go first!
"I'll extract some coarse salt in a bit."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Fan said.
"Hmm? Refining coarse salt?"
"Don't we have two packets of salt?" Liu Feifei asked, somewhat puzzled.
Because when they were choosing survival tools, they selected two packets of salt.
There's absolutely no need to refine coarse salt now!
Moreover, Chen Fan had previously told her that coarse salt contains a lot of bitter-tasting potassium chloride and magnesium chloride, as well as many insoluble impurities.
Why are we refining crude salt again now?
This really puzzled her.
"Two packets of salt are not enough; our goal is to stay on the island for at least a year or even longer."
"Two packets of salt can only last us six or seven months at most."
"Therefore, it is necessary to refine some coarse salt. With coarse salt, we can eat it alternately over a period of time!"
"Eating a moderate amount of coarse salt won't have any negative effects on your health, as long as you control the amount and eat more foods containing iodine..."
Chen Fan then explained very seriously.
Because his goal this time was to win the final championship.
This means they would have to survive on this deserted island for at least a year, or possibly longer.
They only have two packets of salt now, and even if they eat them sparingly, they can only last for seven or eight months at most.
Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to refine some coarse salt!
"oh oh!!"
Liu Feifei stared intently at Chen Fan, nodded blankly, and then said with admiration, "You know so much!"
The look in his eyes was exactly like someone looking at their idol.
Seeing this, many of Liu Feifei's fans in the live stream exclaimed that their idol was about to fall for her.
Because those unintentional glances don't lie.
Moreover, bystanders can see these things more clearly and thoroughly...
"Alright, let's begin!"
"Go and gather some more firewood from around here, but be careful not to go too far."
"You must also pay attention to your footing and your surroundings, because the small creatures on these deserted islands are very dangerous."
After assigning the tasks, Chen Fan gave a brief reminder.
"Okay, I understand!"
Liu Feifei nodded and went to work.
Chen Fan also went to the beach and collected some seawater.
The seawater in this area is still very clear, and it doesn't seem to be polluted.
Therefore, the refined sea salt will contain fewer harmful substances.
Seawater has a very high salt content. After most of the water evaporates, a layer of white crystals adheres to the inner wall of the iron pot.
This is crude salt that has not undergone any scientific processing. It contains potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium sulfate, potassium sulfate, sodium bromide, potassium bromide, and a small amount of impurities such as mud and sand!
Therefore, if it is to be consumed, it needs to be purified and have insoluble impurities removed several times.
Actually, coarse salt isn't entirely useless. This mixture can effectively stimulate and promote the secretion of sebaceous glands, helping to expel aging substances and remove dead skin cells, thus allowing the skin to renew itself...
Eating it occasionally will not only not harm your health, but may even have some benefits.
The main problem is that you have to tolerate the bitter taste of potassium chloride and magnesium chloride.
...
Time passed second by second, and after more than two hours, Chen Fan had refined enough crude salt crystals.
These crystals need to be purified multiple times to remove insoluble impurities.
Multiple purification processes require the use of filtering agents!
However, they currently have very little fresh water, so there is no need to further purify the crude salt at present.
Let's do this after we find freshwater resources!
"Ahhh..."
Just as Chen Fan was tidying up the coarse salt, Liu Feifei suddenly screamed in terror, clearly startled.
Chen Fan immediately put down his work, grabbed his machete, and rushed towards Liu Feifei!
"What's wrong? Are you alright?"
Seeing Liu Feifei trembling with fear, Chen Fan felt a pang of sympathy and quickly asked her what was wrong.
Liu Feifei buried her face in Chen Fan's arms, her body trembling with fear, her pretty face pale with fright.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Chen Fan gently patted Liu Feifei's back and comforted her in a very gentle tone.
"There's...there's a snake! There's a snake over there."
"I...I almost stepped on it!!"
After snuggling into Chen Fan's arms, Liu Feifei's fear lessened somewhat, but her voice was still trembling with fear as she spoke haltingly.
"A snake?? Where is it?"
Upon hearing that there were snakes nearby, Chen Fan's eyes instantly flashed with a sharp light.
Encountering a snake in the wilderness is equivalent to encountering food and a large amount of protein.
The first rule for wilderness survival: everything after removing the head is edible, and its protein content is ten times that of beef.
Whether it's a snake or a rat, they are both excellent sources of protein when you're hungry.
"It's...it's right over there!"
Despite her fear, Liu Feifei turned her head and pointed to a patch of weeds.
Perhaps it was because Chen Fan was by her side that she suddenly felt safe and was no longer as scared as before.
"Don't worry, it's just a spicy snack that's a bit plumper!"
"Wait a minute, I'll go release it back into the wild..."
Chen Fan patted Liu Feifei's back gently again and said with a smile.
"Mmm." Liu Feifei nodded.
With Chen Fan by my side, I feel much more at ease!
Chen Fan gripped the machete in his hand and approached the pile of weeds step by step.
Through the gaps in the weeds, the snake's shadow was soon spotted.
A snake, which looked a little thicker than a thumb, was coiled up there...
Its tiny, beady eyes stared warily at Chen Fan and Liu Feifei, as if it might attack at any moment.
Hiss...
Moreover, it kept flicking its tongue at Chen Fan, which was a warning signal.
That sound is indeed quite frightening.
Because many people are born with a fear of snakes.
Especially after hearing that hissing sound, you can't help but feel your scalp tingling!
Fortunately, Chen Fan was not afraid of snakes.
Especially this king cobra in front of us, it is a non-venomous snake. Although it is fierce, it is not very dangerous.
"Holy crap... I've been terrified of snakes since I was a kid, seeing this gives me the creeps."
"Me too, I've been afraid of snakes and rats since I was a child."
"Feifei almost got bitten just now!"
"I don't understand you people who are afraid of snakes. Snakes are so cute, why are you afraid of them?"
"Nonsense. Everyone likes and dislikes different things. For example, my pigeon is so outstanding, yet you still criticize him all the time."
"Little Blackie, I urge you to be kind..."
"Damn it, that little black guy is everywhere! He even managed to drag my pigeon into this! Wu Yu is dead!!"
Wu Yu: What the hell did I do to deserve this?
