The protagonist crossed over unexpectedly, the system was dumbfounded, and the protagonist was confused. One system exists to survive and live more comfortably, while the other tries to avoid havin...
After carrying the mushroom coral ashore, Reba excitedly ran over and asked:
"Ye Zi, you found something delicious? This is huge, it doesn't look like abalone."
Ye Zi smiled and said:
"This is mushroom coral, not for eating, but for use, like sunscreen, all-natural."
Dilraba's eyes lit up. Although it wasn't food, what girl wants to get a tan? At this moment, the mushroom coral was clearly more appealing than any delicious treat.
How do I use it?
Ye Zi put down the fish in her hand, reached out and caught the liquid dripping from the mushroom coral, rubbed it between her fingertips, and felt that it was not seawater, but had a slippery feel. She thought to herself that this must be the so-called natural sunscreen.
Then he continued to catch the dripping liquid with his hands and wiped it on his arm.
"This is roughly how to use it, but I'll try it first. If there are no problems, then you can use it. When using it, try it on your legs and arms first. If you have any uncomfortable reactions, wash it off with clean water immediately."
This stuff can be recycled; you can leave it in the sea when not in use and just retrieve it when needed.
Reba nodded to indicate that she understood, took the mushroom coral, and went to the beach.
After breakfast, Yezi looked at the area where the coral liquid had been applied and didn't feel any discomfort. After telling Reba the news, she reminded her again to try it first.
Then Ye Zi took the shovel and went to the shore to search for usable supplies in the crevices of the rocks.
The coastline is less than one kilometer long, and it takes Yezi less than two hours to walk around it.
There were very few usable items, only two empty plastic bottles. Judging from the labels, they should have contained water and beverages, because the English word for water was on them, which he recognized.
Another one he was more familiar with was the Coca-Cola bottle. It has a uniform design, so he could recognize it regardless of whether it had a label or not.
Besides the two bottles, Yezi also harvested five conch shells, not the kind you find with your thumb, but the kind of conch horns you see on TV, each about the size of a fist—note, this fist is Yezi's fist.
There's definitely a lot of meat in a conch of this size; five conches would be enough for him and Reba to have for lunch.
Of course, there were many other small creatures in the reef area, but they were too small to pick up easily, and even more difficult to clean up, so I simply ignored them.
It's not like we can't find food, there's no need to waste this time.
The high seas have their advantages. The fishing boats that come here are all ocean-going fishing boats. Their target is big fish, and small fish are released.
Given Ye Zi's current situation, catching some small fish to fill his stomach is not a problem. Big fish will not come near the shore, and he has no way to go to the deep water to catch big fish.
Back at the camp, Ye Zi picked up an axe and cracked open the five conches, discarding the innards and keeping the conch meat. She sliced the meat, grilled some, and made soup with the rest.
After lunch, Dilraba said boredly:
"Ye Zi, are we just going to stay here like this? It's so boring."
Ye Zi leaned leisurely against the tree and said:
"You've been working so long, how many days do you get to relax like this? This is a rare opportunity, so cherish it."
You need to learn to enjoy life.
Reba pointed to the two hovering drones and said:
“I also want to enjoy life, but I always feel that we should do something on the show.”
Ye Zi immediately understood: this was because her mindset hadn't changed. Without a host to guide her, without a script, she couldn't even find something to do.
"Reba, this is wilderness survival, this is an island. Our only mission is to make ourselves more comfortable."
Our goal is to make others envious.
Imagine our current lifestyle: not only do we receive salaries, but we also have a grand prize to win.
Aside from deciding whether to eat seafood or conch for the next meal, there's nothing else to think about.
This is a program, that's true, but this is all the work this program requires of us.
"Yes, it's because someone is paying my salary that I feel I should do something, otherwise I wouldn't feel at ease earning this money."
Upon hearing Reba's words, Ye Zi immediately felt uneasy. Opportunities to make money so easily are rare, so why was she adding drama to her life at this time?
Perhaps this is an occupational hazard; actors all hope to have more opportunities to perform, while Ye Zi tries to lie down as much as possible.
"Then let's find something to do."
"Really?" Dilraba perked up instantly.
Ye Zi nodded, waved her hand, and pointed towards the beach, saying:
"My plan is to turn this place into a swimming beach and move the fish entrails to another location."
"Then what?"
"Then you can go swimming in the sea."
"That's...that's it?" Dilraba asked, looking dazed.
“That’s right, our territory is small, our space is limited, and we don’t have a boat, so we can only swim and sunbathe,” Ye Zi said seriously.
"Then you still have nothing to do?"
"We had nothing to do anyway."
Dilraba said with a helpless expression:
"I thought you had some good plans."
Ye Zi casually plucked a blade of grass, put it in her mouth, and said:
"That's probably what wilderness survival is like. Once you get on the right track, you have a lot of free time. Like when we were in Alaska last time, we were so bored that we ended up turning it into a wilderness martial arts training class."
"Then I'll learn martial arts too. Can you teach me?"
"Sure, I'll teach you if you want to learn. I'm free anyway," Ye Zi said, perking up a little.
The time after lunch is too easy to make people sleepy.
"Maybe I can take on a martial arts role in the future and play a female knight-errant, and I can also lose weight, killing two birds with one stone."
Ye Zi said lazily:
"I remember you played a demon immortal before, at least you were a mage, now you're about to embark on the path of a warrior."
From a delicate fairy to a muscular warrior, does every actor harbor a martial arts dream?
"Whether I can play a female knight-errant is not important; what's important is that practicing martial arts can help me lose weight."
"Losing weight?" Ye Zi opened her half-closed eyes, looked Dilraba up and down, and continued:
"With your figure, is there any need for you to lose weight?"
“They call me Fatty Di, and every male actor I’ve acted with says I’m heavy.”
Ye Zi raised an eyebrow and said:
"You think you're heavy, weighing only a hundred or so pounds?"
Yes, 'Pang Di' definitely sounds much better than 'Chong Di'.
Old Huang did mention that you can eat a lot, but he never mentioned that you're fat.
Dilraba blushed slightly, thought for a moment, and said:
"He seems to be the first actor who doesn't think I'm heavy, but he's also the first one who thinks I'm silly."
Ye Zi smiled casually. Huang Jingyu's straight-male tendencies were second to none, so it was normal for him to say such things.
"It seems that practicing martial arts isn't achieving your goals. Do you still want to learn?"
"It didn't work?" Dilraba asked, slightly disappointed.
"There's almost no room for you to lose weight. The key is that there's no room for you to lose weight with your current figure. At most, you can just reshape your body."
Dilraba nodded, considered for a moment, and said:
“Learning, even shaping, is fine. At least I can learn a few tricks that might come in handy someday.”
