Not long after, Zhong Rui came back from shopping and picked up a stick of grilled fish and started eating it.
Su Han asked, "Is there anything you want? I still have three grilled fish sticks that I can't exchange for."
Zhong Rui spoke frankly, "There is absolutely no one I really like. There are some who I would rather suffer a loss and change reluctantly."
"For example?" Su Han was quite curious.
Zhong Rui pointed in a certain direction, "Someone had rice, flour and oil in his portable warehouse. In order to avoid starvation when entering the dungeon, he chose a bag of rice. But he didn't know that there wasn't even a pot in the dungeon. He had rice but couldn't cook it."
Su Han's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice deliberately, and urged, "Where is he? Go and change with him!"
"Do you know how to cook it?" Zhong Rui seemed to realize something.
Su Han nodded repeatedly, "You can make bamboo tube rice!"
Zhong Rui was stunned. "...What?"
He said he didn't really understand what bamboo tube rice was.
Su Han explained, "To make bamboo tube rice, put rice, appropriate amount of water and meat into a bamboo tube, and then roast it over a fire. When the surface of the bamboo tube is charred, the rice is cooked. Then split the bamboo tube open, and the rice inside is soft and delicious, with the fragrance of bamboo, and tastes great."
"Also, rice is not susceptible to moisture and can be stored for a long time. If you get enough rice, you don't have to worry about food for more than ten days. You can eat bamboo tube rice for dinner, and black bread, meat floss and cream bread, and chocolate cake for snacks. It's easy to pass the customs."
"Although bamboo tube rice is usually made with fragrant rice, it would be a little worse if it were made with rice, but this is a disaster instance, so it's good to have something to eat."
Zhong Rui's mind was moved, and he immediately went to chat with the player. After a while, he exchanged three grilled fish sticks and a sparrow for a cloth bag and four kilograms of rice, and said helplessly, "The other party is only willing to give this much. He firmly believes that he can find a way to cook, and what he lacks is time."
Su Han blinked, "What if we don't find a solution and he's almost starving to death? Will he change his mind?"
Zhong Rui nodded, "It's possible."
Su Han sincerely hopes that the player will give up his obsession and take out the rice in exchange.
After exchanging the six grilled fish, the wicker basket had not yet been found, so Zhong Rui first took the rice back to the cave and then took out the last five fish.
In fact, he felt that it was very troublesome to do this back and forth, and it was far less convenient than grilling more than a dozen fish at a time. But there was no other way. If the red eye disease attacked him, he would be in trouble.
So despite all the trouble, Zhong Rui had to be patient and take it one step at a time.
As night fell, the last five fish had just been grilled when Beibei finally appeared with a wicker basket.
Su Han breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally here."
Beibei pursed her lips and asked, "Where's the fish?"
Su Han handed out three sticks swiftly.
Beibei felt relieved immediately.
After the exchange, her complexion improved a lot, and she couldn't help but ask, "What else do you need?"
"Not for now. I'll come to you if I need you." Zhong Rui answered decisively.
"Okay." Beibei took the reward and left happily.
"There are two more." Su Han spoke in a tone that was almost like announcing bad news - she really couldn't think of anything else she could exchange with the players. Unfortunately, her fullness was close to full, so it would be a waste to eat them.
Zhong Rui was also desperate. Finally, he had an idea and thought of a solution, "Save it for breakfast tomorrow."
Su Han nodded in agreement.
Then the two men picked up the wicker basket, took the remaining firewood, and left the camp as if nothing had happened.
**
Back in the cave, the items were still in their original positions, and Su Han slowly exhaled. At the same time, she helplessly discovered that the more items she owned, the more troubles she would have.
If she had nothing and put all her tools in her backpack, she could move around without worry. After all, she would eat the food she got today and nothing would be left. Being penniless, there was nothing to worry about.
But as supplies increased, worries gradually increased. What should I exchange the extra food with? Will the food left at home be stolen while I am away? Should I leave someone to watch over it? How many people should I leave, and who should I leave?
Various problems arise one after another.
…
Su Han piled the firewood together and lit it with a flint.
Soon, the fire started burning.
Zhong Rui walked over and stuffed all the food and drinking water into the wicker basket.
Su Han took the initiative to mention, "The drinking water has not been opened, so it can be stored for a long time. I will also try to preserve the milk when I get it later."
"Pickled food can be preserved for a long time. If you have a chance, you can ask An Rongyue to exchange some salt for pickled fish."
“Without portable warehouses, bread and cakes cannot be stored for long periods of time and must be eaten first.”
"Also, it's best not to go out together. One person should stay behind to watch over you."
Zhong Rui also thought about this problem. "In the first three days, the players will be busy hunting to fill their stomachs, and it is unlikely that they will explore the terrain. We can move freely. From the fourth day on, we have to leave someone in the cave to watch over it."
"Okay." Su Han agreed.
After finishing the discussion, the two of them sat against the wall and dozed off for a while, until the sky was slightly brightening before they woke up.
Zhong Rui had grilled fish on a stick for breakfast, took his tools and was about to go out.
At this time, Su Han yawned and woke up slowly.
"I'm leaving." Zhong Rui said hello.
"Be careful on the road." Su Han said casually.
Zhong Rui walked out of the cave, carefully covered it up, and carefully removed all traces of anyone's presence.
In the cave, smoke from the fire was curling up, and Su Han fell asleep again in a daze.
Suddenly, the system's mechanical voice sounded, "Game Day 2."
As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of black bread and a bottle of milk appeared in front of Su Han.
"It was a good thing that I chose a nutritionist." Su Han sighed. She put the milk away and ate grilled fish for breakfast.
As for the black bread, that was today's lunch.
Out of boredom, she put on a backpack, took a rubber band, and went out hunting.
There was a breeze in the woods, and the temperature was just right. From time to time, a rabbit would poke its head out, then quickly run away. Or a deer would appear in the woods, but would soon disappear into the jungle.
Su Han was afraid of getting lost, so he didn't chase after him.
Suddenly, a bird in the forest started to fly up. Su Han narrowed his eyes slightly, quickly wrapped the rubber band around his hand, then squatted down to pick up the small stone. Then he aimed and shot!
"Pah—" a sparrow fell to the ground.
Su Han walked over quickly and quickly pulled out a piece of long grass to tie up the sparrow. Then, she looked at the rubber band in her hand and felt a little awkward. She was used to using a slingshot with a wooden frame, and she was not used to using one without a frame.
In fact, she was aiming at a sparrow next to her, but the stone missed and hit another one...
Su Han comforted himself that there was no need to worry about such a small problem, as long as the prey was caught.
A breeze blew by, and the forest was extremely quiet, as if she was the only living person.
Suddenly, Su Han's expression changed. If I saw it correctly, there seemed to be a gray shadow flashing in the green grass? Judging from its shape, it looked a bit like a rabbit.
She squatted down calmly, picked up five stones, put four in her pocket, put one on the rubber band, aimed, and shot.
Then, Su Han heard a scream. The next second, the gray rabbit ran away without looking back.
Su Han, "..."
She touched her nose helplessly, thinking, this is the disadvantage of using stones as ammunition, the killing power is too weak. Once the target is frightened and runs away, she can only stand there and watch.
As the morning passed, Su Han's prey gradually became more diverse, including partridges, pigeons, sparrows, bamboo rats, and everything else, but all of them were tied up.
Near noon, she returned to the cave and took the black bread in her mouth and ate it.
At this moment, Zhong Rui just came back carrying a wooden barrel.
"Today's harvest was average. We only caught 14 fish in total, and got 10 of them." Zhong Rui felt very regretful.
Su Han threw another piece of black bread over, "Lunch."
Zhong Rui took it quickly, unwrapped it, took a bite, and said vaguely, "How about 5 of them being pickled into salted fish and 5 of them being exchanged with others?"
"I don't have any tools." Su Han counted on his fingers. "You need coarse salt to pickle the fruits, and then put them in a wooden basin to pickle them, and finally hang them on a wooden rack to air dry. Now there is no coarse salt, no wooden basin, no wooden rack, nothing."
Zhong Rui sighed, a little dissatisfied - he didn't know when his dream of having sufficient supplies and enough food for two people to eat for 20 days would come true.
In addition, there is some not-so-good news. After two days in the game, players have gradually adapted to the dungeon rhythm and their fishing and hunting efficiency has improved. If players are no longer in urgent need of food, they probably won't be willing to exchange good things.
After a long silence, Su Han said, "How about keeping two for dinner and exchanging the others for firewood?"
"Firewood..." Zhong Rui frowned. Firewood was indeed needed, but he didn't want to change it now.
"I say," Su Han was quite helpless, "Don't always think about hunting and exchanging talents, skills and items with others. We still have a lot of other things to do."
"for example?"
"Set up traps outside the cave to prevent accidental entry and enemy attacks. Dig holes in the woods to make traps. If a small animal accidentally steps on it, it will fall into the hole and cannot escape. Check the traps every once in a while and you may get something. It's also best to get some rabbit skins, tiger skins, and deer skins. I suspect the temperature may drop in a while. If you have spare time, you can make the necessary tools yourself." Su Han counted them one by one on his fingers.
"I've thought about everything you said." Zhong Rui pointed at himself, "I plan to stock up on supplies and then do other things."
Then he pointed at Su Han and said, "It seems that your plan is to stockpile some supplies first and start making other preparations. After everything is ready, you can continue to stockpile supplies."
Finally, he calmed down for a minute and said, "Both plans are feasible, just in a different order."
Su Han suddenly suggested, "Why don't we act separately according to our own ideas?"
Zhong Rui, "..."
If there are two members in a team and everyone plays their own game, what kind of teammates are they?
Without waiting for his friend to respond, Su Han said, "Anyway, both of us are good at it. Whether we play separately or together, we can always pass the level. It doesn't matter how we play it." The only difference is whether the process is more difficult or easier.
"Do you still want to stockpile supplies separately..." Zhong Rui couldn't help but complain.
Unexpectedly, Su Han replied seriously, "It's better to separate. Pretend to be stranded on an isolated island alone with no companions around."
Zhong Rui was confused: "???"
"Don't worry." Su Han comforted, "If anyone can't hold on, we can still help each other. After all, we are teammates."
Zhong Rui had a blank expression on his face. If he made his point clear, who would not be able to bear it? !
Author has something to say: Su Han: It’s decided, the team name is “Lone Ranger Squad”
An Rongyue (laughing): You get the same treatment as me.
Zhong Rui: Not happy
**
Why do the two have different plans? Because Su Han is a senior nutritionist and has a stable way to get food and drinking water (☆＿☆)
