Upon hearing Lu Fan's suggestion, An Lan's eyes lit up like stars. She nodded without hesitation and said excitedly, "Great! I've been wanting to go out and see the world for ages!"

Lu Fan smiled slightly as he looked at her impatient expression. In fact, he had long noticed that An Lan was full of longing for the outside world.

So the two of them began packing their equipment.

Lu Fan handed his sharp dagger to An Lan and said seriously, "Take this dagger for self-defense. If you encounter danger, call me immediately. Don't be reckless."

An Lan accepted it with a smile, her eyes full of trust.

Afterwards, the two, along with Big Horn and Big Black, embarked on their exploration journey with great anticipation.

Along the way, sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow, as if laying out a golden carpet for them.

The two chatted happily as they walked, their laughter echoing through the woods, making what would have been a somewhat tedious journey much more enjoyable.

As they walked, they came to a wide-open flat area.

An Lan had sharp eyes and immediately spotted the various plants growing on the flat ground. She couldn't help but shout excitedly, "Wow, there are so many plants here that can be used as medicinal herbs!"

As he spoke, he couldn't wait to squat down and start identifying the objects with full concentration.

Lu Fan smiled gently at her and said, "Alright, then you stay here and gather herbs in peace. I'll go take a look around and see if I can find any other treasures."

After saying that, he walked around, his eyes full of anticipation, hoping to gain more.

As Anlan gathered the herbs, she muttered to herself, listing the names and effects of various plants: "This is plantain, it can clear heat and promote urination; this is dandelion, it's indispensable for anti-inflammatory and detoxifying..."

...

Big Black also came over, curiously sniffing the plants, occasionally gently pawing at them with its paws, as if it were helping.

Big Horn quietly grazes to the side, occasionally raising its head to warily observe its surroundings, guarding this small world.

Upon hearing the wilderness survival announcement, Lu Fan couldn't help but smile knowingly. He knew this was exactly what An Lan longed for. She wasn't the kind of person who could only idly stay in a shelter; she also had her own abilities and value.

Lu Fan used his knife to cut down weeds and clear a path while carefully observing his surroundings.

Soon, he discovered an exposed rock that looked like granite.

Lu Fan walked quickly to the rock and began to examine it carefully.

He reached out and gently touched the surface of the rock, feeling its texture and patterns, not missing a single detail.

Suddenly, he noticed a stone with an unusual texture; it was round and semi-transparent.

[Firestone Discovered]

Flint?!

Lu Fan's heart suddenly stirred.

He had never noticed before that flint was translucent; in his mind, flint had always been a black stone like coal.

Even if someone else encountered this, they probably wouldn't know what it was.

But Lu Fan was different. Although he didn't know him at first, he had a notification sound, just like a floating window, which provided him with key information at any time.

"Haha, we've struck gold!" Lu Fan shouted excitedly, his voice filled with surprise and excitement.

Although it was his first time encountering flint, he knew that it was like a lighter in the wild, and its usefulness was immense.

After all, who didn't play a game or two of Minecraft when they were a kid? In the game, flint is an important tool for starting a fire.

He carefully pried the flint out of the rock and examined it repeatedly in his hand.

This flint is black, with a smooth, mirror-like surface and a faint, mysterious luster. It also has a jade-like quality, making it quite unique.

【flint*】

The live stream chat instantly erupted in excitement.

"Wow, Lu Fan has made another great discovery! But what's the flint for?"

"Haha, let me, a veteran Minecraft player, tell you that this is flint, which can be used to start a fire."

"I'm also a Minecraft player. The game next door is trash. I won't say what game it is."

"Nobody told me that playing games can actually teach you anything."

"An Lan is gathering herbs over there, while Lu Fan is searching for flint here. Their division of labor is too perfect! It's driving me crazy!"

Lu Fan, holding the flint, returned to An Lan's side in high spirits.

An Lan saw the stone in his hand and asked with a look of curiosity, "What is this? It looks quite special."

Lu Fan proudly shook the flint and explained with a smile, "This is flint. When you strike it with metal, it will produce sparks, making it much easier to start a fire! You won't have to go through so much trouble to preserve the embers anymore."

An Lan's eyes lit up, and she said with delight, "Really? That's wonderful!"

As she spoke, she carefully placed the herbs she had collected into the basket she carried with her, then leaned closer to examine the flint closely, her eyes filled with wonder.

“Let’s give it a try!” Lu Fan said, taking the dagger from An Lan’s hand.

He picked up the flint and struck it rapidly with his dagger. Instantly, sparks flew everywhere, shimmering like stars in the sunlight.

Big Black was startled by the sudden spark and took several steps back. Then, it curiously came closer, staring at the thing with unblinking eyes, as if it were studying the magical object.

"That's amazing!" An Lan exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She took the flint and dagger and tried striking them a few times. Although her movements were a little clumsy, she successfully produced sparks, and her face beamed with a sense of accomplishment.

“But it seems we don’t lack fire.” Suddenly, An Lan asked a probing question.

Lu Fan was also taken aback for a moment, then fell silent. Indeed, they already had a stable source of fire.

But he quickly came to his senses and became happy again, saying, "It's alright. It will be much easier to find fire when exploring in the future. I won't have to carry the fire around anymore. It would be troublesome if I accidentally put it out."

The two were having a great time when suddenly, Big Horn let out an uneasy cry.

Lu Fan and An Lan quickly looked up and saw something moving in the grass not far away, with a dark shadow vaguely visible.

Be careful.

Lu Fan spoke softly to An Lan, while quickly shielding her behind him, gripping his bow and arrow tightly, his eyes becoming wary.

Big Black also sensed the danger. Standing beside them, its fur stood on end, and it let out a low growl, as if demonstrating against the unknown peril.

Wild boar spotted from behind bushes

A rustling sound came from the grass, and a figure slowly emerged from it.

It turned out to be a male wild boar! This wild boar was huge, with two long tusks sticking out that gleamed coldly in the sunlight, making it look extremely fierce and sending chills down one's spine.

"It seems we've disturbed its territory," Lu Fan frowned and said in a low voice.

He knew very well that wild boars were extremely aggressive animals, and if provoked, they might attack them without hesitation.

Of course, he wasn't particularly worried about his safety. After all, he had successfully killed a wild boar before his body was strengthened, let alone now.

His main concern was that if a fight broke out later, he wouldn't be able to protect An Lan in every way.

An Lan nervously grabbed Lu Fan's arm, her voice trembling slightly as she asked, "What should we do?"

Lu Fan immediately comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let you get hurt."

Lu Fan, holding a bow and arrow, walked steadily forward and slowly approached the wild boar.

Under the magical influence of animal affinity, the wild boar was somewhat bewildered, finding the person in front of it very strange.

It wanted to attack Lu Fan, but it also seemed to feel a strange sense of familiarity with Lu Fan, which made it hesitate. It could only anxiously paw at the ground with its hooves and make a muffled groan.

Lu Fan also keenly observed this, and then calmed his tone and said softly, "I don't lack food right now, so you should leave quickly. We don't want to hurt you."

An Lan, who was standing behind him, was stunned when she heard Lu Fan's words.

Negotiating with a pig? Is this why I can't become a master?
