Chapter 29
Although Professor Terrence failed to capture the vampire, he still wanted to study the corpse. After discussion with the research team, he decided to transport it back to the laboratory in Taiwan at the terminal for preliminary research and not to go with Shi Buxi and others for the time being.
However, Professor Terrence said that no matter whether he had researched anything or not, he would come back before Shi Buxi entered Area 1.
In the research team, Academician Liang did not leave. He came here to study the physical phenomenon of Shi Buxi's talismans, so he decided to stay with Shi Buxi.
When Professor Terrence and others set off to return to the terminal in the morning, Shi Buxi and others also drove off to the port.
"Are we crossing the sea by boat?" Shi Buyi asked excitedly. He had never been on a boat before, and he had only seen the sea on TV.
"That should be it!" Jian Xiaonan said, and glanced at the camera. They were always exposed to the camera. She had many questions to ask Xiaoxi, but she couldn't ask them. She had to find a way to avoid the camera when she got on the boat.
"I haven't seen the sea in person yet. I wonder if I can see sharks." Shi Buxi said expectantly.
Yes, yes, there are also huge sea monsters, even bigger than the ship.
[Yes, if you’re lucky, you can even see mermaids.]
You don't understand. The most powerful creatures are dinosaurs. There are dinosaurs in the sea.
Shi Buxi: ...
"It's just that I've never seen the sea, not that I lack common sense." Shi Buyi was left in tears and laughter by the audience's fairy-tale-like tone as if they were coaxing a child.
[Wow, you have an innocent face, but you say, "Come and lie to me, come and lie to me."]
【Haha, you’re right.】
"No, are you really not going to tell me about what happened last night? Why is there such a big beam of light?"
"I've set up a corpse-killing formation," Shi Buyi said, thinking back to the group of vampires he'd seen last night. If it weren't for the Fangya zombies holding him back, he might not have been able to set up the formation. So he had to figure out how to find help if he were to face another group attack.
Thinking of this, Shi Buxi put down the seat, turned around and climbed to the back seat, took out the beans he had picked before and the empty bottle, and started pouring them in. When it was almost done, he took out the rainwater he had collected before and poured it in. Then he took out a talisman, drew it in the air, lit it, and stuffed it into the bottle. After the talisman burned out, he sealed the bottle mouth, shook it up and down, waited for the ashes and water to be completely merged together, put it on the back seat, and climbed back to the co-pilot seat.
At this time, the audience of the live broadcast was already boiling with excitement, and they were posting comments one after another.
【What are you doing? 】
【Ahhh, what kind of magic is this? 】
【Come on, guess the talisman the kids are using.】
[I only remember a protective amulet, a fixed amulet, a thunder god amulet, and last night's amulet, which is unknown.]
"Last night's talisman was the soul-controlling and corpse-destroying talisman, and the one that summoned the thunder net the night before was the military talisman. As for today's talisman, you will know when the time comes." Shi Buyi smiled mysteriously.
[Noted, noted. There's a new entry in my talisman book, hehe.]
[Hahaha, are you collecting peripherals? ]
[It's a shame that the scene of children drawing talismans is no longer shown on TV. Otherwise, it would have been a hit if it were made into merchandise.]
I want some amulet-related merchandise. I've been reading a history book lately, and it says people in ancient times all had amulets.
【Find the surrounding area.】
As Shi Buxi listened to the audience's chatter, the car arrived at the port. There, parked, was a small, two-story boat, about six meters long. Shipping something this large from the main planet would surely be expensive, so this was the only boat available.
However, what attracted Shi Buxi more than the boat was the endless sea. This was the first time he saw the sea in reality. It was so vast and boundless that it made his heart surge.
Shi Buxi suddenly thought of a joke he had seen on the Internet and couldn't help but say, "Ah, the sea, it's filled with water."
Other contestants/spectators: ...
【Pfft, kid, what are you doing? 】
[Hahaha, it's all water, haha, if it's not water, is it salt?]
[Well, I have to say, you were right before.]
[Haha, is this Xiaoxi's first time seeing the sea?]
"Yeah!" Shi Buxi nodded seriously. He was already looking forward to getting on the boat.
"Hehe, when we set sail, the sea we see will be even bigger." Feng Shen said with a smile.
"By the way, how many days will it take to get from District 3 to District 2 by sea?" Shi Buxi asked. He had seen on TV that ships that could cross the sea seemed to be very large. Could this small ship do it?
"Based on the speed of a 3,000-year-old ship, it would take about seven days. This ship is more than enough," Tian Lou said. He had done his homework before coming to Blue Star.
Shi Buxi felt relieved, then looked at the camera and asked, "Are there any supplies up there?"
When the others heard this, they looked towards the camera expectantly. After a while, the production team remained silent, seemingly unwilling to respond. Only the audience kept repeating: "The kids really care most about eating."
"Let's go up and take a look first!" Zong Ziyu suggested. The production team saw that they were not prepared.
With the recognition of others, you can climb up the ladder.
The bottom level of the ferry was the power plant, the first level was the living quarters, and the top level was the bridge. After a careful tour, everyone discovered that the power source could reach Area 2, but there was no water or food. Therefore, they had to prepare seven days of food and water before boarding the ship.
"How can we prepare for this? All the small animals around here have been killed by vampires." Zong Ziyu spread his hands in front of the camera, expressing his incomprehension.
The program crew was silent.
"Why don't we take a look and see how much food is left?" Jian Xiaonan suggested.
This is the only way for everyone to watch the show and die.
Everyone had only taken supplies once since joining the program, and they had been consuming them all the time. After the final count, there were only more than 50 loaves of bread left.
Everyone: ...
This is the amount that can be consumed in one day!
"Shall we store our own food?" When Shi Buxi had been looking around with everyone just now, he had discovered that everything was quite complete and they could cook their own food on the boat.
"Are you thinking about fishing?" Feng Shen still remembered the fishing remarks he had made before.
"There are also wild vegetables and bamboo shoots. Maybe we can find some root vegetables." Shi Buxi was eager to try. When he was in the mountains, he often dug these things up and brought them back to eat. The plants on Blue Star have been growing wildly for three thousand years, so there should be a lot to eat.
"Do you know him?" Jian Xiaonan asked in surprise.
"Of course." Shi Buxi replied happily.
"Okay, let's prepare the supplies first, then get on board." Feng Shen, the captain, made the decision, but asked, "Where to find them?"
The others nodded, this was the point.
Shi Bushi looked at the surrounding seashore. Since no human had set foot there for three thousand years, alkali-resistant plants had grown to the coastline.
"There should be bamboo shoots here. We have to look inside to find out about the others." Shi Bushi looked towards the forest by the sea and could see bamboo forests growing inside. As for the others, he was not sure.
"Okay, let's divide into two teams. Xiaoxi will lead one team into the forest to look for wild vegetables and wild animals. I will lead the other team into the sea to look for fish." Feng Shen said.
The others had no objection, and it was finally decided that Shi Buxi would take Tian Lou and Jian Xiaonan to find food on land, while Feng Shen would take Lu Feng and Zong Ziyu to the sea.
"Remember, you must come back before dark." Feng Shen instructed.
Shi Buxi nodded in agreement and headed towards the bamboo forest with the backpack and two knives he had woven earlier.
【What can I eat at the beach? 】
"Little boy, how do you know what's edible? It's so strange. You look like you're seeing the ocean for the first time, but how do you know about seaside plants?"
"Reading." Shi Buyi said these two words lightly, without saying that he saw it on TV, because he was afraid that the audience would ask him what TV show he watched.
What can I eat?
"We'll know after we've seen it," Shi Buxi replied. The three districts here were divided according to his world, which was located abroad. He didn't know much about the plants abroad, so he could only try his luck and see if the plants abroad and at home were the same. Besides this, there was another way, "How about you help me take a look?"
[Kekeke, wait for me, I'll go search for pictures right away.]
[Hehe, when we migrated, we brought all the edible and usable plant seeds from Blue Star. I'll go find out what belongs to Zone 3.]
[Xiao Xi, we'll find wild vegetables for you. What do you want in return?]
"What do you want in return?" Shi Buyi couldn't think of it for a moment.
[Whoever can help you find one will receive a talisman.]
[Ahhh, I want to ask for the Thunder God Talisman, is that okay? ]
【I, I want the Thundernet.】
[Am I the only one who wants a paper crane? ]
"Except for the amulet, those require a spell to activate." Shi Buyi said helplessly, and then said, "A talisman can resolve small problems and ward off major disasters. How about it?"
[Yes! I'll go to the National Library.]
[Ahhh, I, I'll ask my grandfather.]
[You should be able to find it online! ]
[Wait, there are nearly 10 billion people in the live broadcast room right now. If 3 million people say the same thing, would you draw 3 million copies?]
Shi Buxi: ...
"How about a lottery?" Jian Xiaonan said.
The audience agreed, saying yes, and then couldn't wait to take action. Many people even posted on Starnet, and it quickly became popular. Others saw it and thought, "Wow, there's an amulet!" They had to join in. So when Shi Buyi led Tian Lou and Jian Xiaonan to the bamboo forest, everyone on Starnet was already enthusiastically helping him find some edible wild vegetables in District 3.
"How do I pick these? The longer the better?" Jian Xiaonan looked at a field of bamboo shoots of different heights and didn't know where to start.
"The best bamboo shoots are the ones that grow in strange shapes among the rocks, half an arm's length, with red moles on them." Shi Buyi picked one and chopped it off at the root with Feng Shen's unsheathed one-meter-long sword. The bamboo shoot made a crisp sound and broke. "Be careful, there are thorns on the bamboo shoots, don't prick your hands."
"Let me try." Tian Lou picked up another knife and walked towards the other one.
Now only Jian Xiaonan was left. She looked at the hairs covering the bamboo shoots and didn't even dare to break them apart.
"Sister Nan, why don't you pick it up from the bamboo shoots?" Shi Buyi saw that she wanted to try using her hands, so he picked up the bamboo shoots he had just cut, removed the thorny skin on them, and handed them to her.
[Ahhh, I found it, I found it. Look at my profile picture. The fruit above is called apple. It's a specialty of District 3. Sister Nan, go find it quickly.]
[This is fruit. We're looking for something to eat. Look at my profile picture. This is a mushroom, which is usually found in the forest in the morning.]
[What are you all looking for? My shepherd's purse.]
My leeks.
With the development of information on the Internet, many people have found the specialties of the three districts, and they all fill the live broadcast room, making people dazzled.
"Let's harvest the bamboo shoots first! We'll look for others after we finish harvesting them." Shi Buyi said.
When the audience saw that he turned around to collect bamboo shoots after he finished speaking, it seemed that he would not listen to their advice. They could only urge Jian Xiaonan, who was the most idle, to build a lottery platform, and they had to sign up immediately.
The bamboo forest was teeming with bamboo shoots. Considering there were six of them, three of them collected three bags of bamboo shoots before stopping. Tian Lou carried two bags of bamboo shoots back to the boat, and the last bag was his responsibility. However, Shi Buyi and the others had to find other food first. Worried that Jian Xiaonan wouldn't be able to find him and Jian Xiaonan when he returned, Shi Buyi took out a small paper crane and went back with him, promising to bring him back to find Shi Buyi later.
[Every time I see this little paper crane, I still feel it's magical.]
【I also want a little paper crane like this. 】
[None of this matters. What matters is, little friend, what are you going to look for first?]
"Shepherd's purse!" Shi Buyi said. This thing is very delicious. Since they are at sea, he thinks he should prepare more.
Shepherd's purse is a temperate plant that generally grows in fields and wild places.
[Aren't you talking nonsense? Woohoo, why don't you look for the apple first?]
[Grapes, grapes, grapes, let’s find grapes first.]
What's there to argue about? I've registered for all the options. No matter which one I find, I'll have a chance to win the prize, hahaha.
Other viewers: ..., it turns out you can cheat this way.
[You could be more specific, like edible wild vegetables growing by the sea.]
Shi Buxi paused. Yes, he knew that shepherd's purse in the mountains was edible, but what about the ones by the sea? Was there such a plant?
Was it too early for him to accept the task of finding wild vegetables?
