These strange fruits are not available in offline fruit markets, and are difficult for ordinary people to recognize and eat. Humans are creatures that dare to explore new things, and when Mr. Li introduced the wood milk fruit, people immediately searched for it on online platforms.
Don't let its ordinary appearance fool you; this fruit is expensive, as rare items are always valued for their scarcity.
The audience was extremely envious.
"I just searched it up, and it's over 100 yuan per jin (500g)."
"I've never even heard of this thing. Is it really delicious?"
"This is such good luck! I just wandered around in the woods and found such delicious food."
"It looks delicious, I want to buy it and try it."
"So expensive... Are you willing to spend that much? It's such a waste. It's just a piece of fruit. I don't think the person upstairs earns much. It's more worthwhile to buy a few pounds of meat for the family than to spend money on a pound of fruit."
"No, they didn't spend your money, why are you making such a fuss?"
"It's just a hundred yuan worth of fruit, not a house or a car."
...
Li Shengyu was speechless. He said that even introducing a fruit could cause an argument. Although it was commonplace, he still found it hard to understand. He chose to ignore it and picked a few fruits to eat as he walked.
There were many mosquitoes in the woods, seemingly everywhere. Even though Li Sheng was very careful, these little creatures still managed to sneak in and he inevitably got a few welts.
The first-aid kits that Wang Guoqiang and Jia Xingye drew at this time came in very handy. Inside was a 300ml bottle of mosquito repellent spray. Wang Guoqiang didn't get many bites, but Jia Xingye, being a student, was in a worse situation. He didn't use the mosquito repellent spray, so the professor collected peppermint juice and had his student apply it to his body.
It had some effect, but there were just too many mosquitoes in the forest, and there were some that couldn't be prevented. Jia Xingye had several swollen bites on his body, so he collected some plants, chewed them up, and applied them to the bites.
After all, there wasn't much in the first aid kit, so they had to use it sparingly. With one professor and one student, the professor had control over the supplies, and the student could only endure it if the professor didn't give the order.
Some chose to tough it out, while others, like Li Sheng, applied a coating to their bodies. Yan Shuangwen collected many kinds of plants and mixed them together to make a thick green juice in a coconut bowl. It looked disgusting, but it was the most effective when applied to the body.
Because they had a lighter, it was very easy for Liu Nannan and Luo Zeng to start a fire. They lit a pile of mugwort on a flat area in the woods. The smell was strong and there were no mosquitoes or other insects nearby. Liu Nannan was in charge of making some simple tools, while Luo Zeng gathered food nearby.
To show off to his audience, Wang Yao is currently distilling seawater. He doesn't have to worry about the shelter, there's food nearby, and he can even collect seafood to eat since it's close to the sea. When he's in a good mood, he can wander around the woods. This kind of survival game is as simple to him as taking off his pants to go to the toilet.
Yang Xiaoxiao took a file and a rock and slowly began to chisel at the coconut tree. She couldn't climb it anymore, and relying on that good-for-nothing Wang Yao was unreliable. Waiting for him to distill seawater would be worse than dying of thirst.
She slowly chiseled away, knowing the coconut tree would eventually fall. Although this method seemed foolish, it was the only option for Yang Xiaoxiao.
Wang Yao found Yang Xiaoxiao's strained appearance amusing; he thought, "Just wait and see how much I admire you."
On the first day, everyone seemed to be making good progress. Each team had something to show for itself. Backer was most optimistic about the group of Yu Qiang and Yu Tian. They had already caught their prey, an emu, right at the beginning. It wasn't just their strength, but also their good luck.
In the main live broadcast room, Bei Ye introduced: "The emu is the largest bird in the world besides the ostrich. Although it has wings, it cannot fly. It walks very fast on land and can reach speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour when sprinting."

"No wonder he's a shooting champion; his courage is something most people don't have."
"A master archer! He took it down with a single arrow."
"Holy crap, it's half a person tall! It's so big, it can eat for a really long time. I don't have to worry about food at all."
"I bet our champion and runner-up will definitely win first place."
"With this kind of start, who can compare? While everyone else is still eating vegetarian food, we can achieve the freedom to eat meat."
...
Yu Qiang's arrow pierced the emu's head, causing it to fall to the ground. However, dealing with such a large animal became the biggest problem. But when he saw it, he acted impulsively and fired an arrow.
Yu Qiang: "I should have let it live. It's so big, how can we possibly eat it all?"
Yu Tian: "Yes, there's simply not enough to finish!"
Audience member: "Versailles, it was definitely intentional."
Li Sheng continued walking in, and it took a long detour to reach the cliff top. As he walked further in, he saw fruit trees again, showing how abundant the island's resources were.
It was a banana tree. Li Sheng walked over and broke off a banana, splitting it in half and showing it to everyone. It was different from the bananas usually sold on the market. The bananas on the market are all improved varieties, while this was a pure wild first-generation banana. There was very little flesh inside, and most of it was black seeds.
Li put the banana in his mouth, savored it carefully, sucked on the flesh, and spat out most of the seeds.
"Wild bananas have very soft and sweet flesh, but they have too many seeds, so there is very little edible flesh. They can be used to supplement sugar content. The banana core and banana flowers are also edible."
Li Sheng ate only one mulberry and continued on his way without picking any more to take back. After walking a few steps, he saw a patch of mulberries. The mulberries were plentiful and large, weighing down the branches, and had turned a deep purplish-red color that was almost black.
"These are mulberries. I'm sure everyone recognizes them. They're very nutritious."
Li Sheng simply held onto the mulberry branch and popped the fruit into his mouth; with so many wild fruits, there was no need to worry about food at all.
While others were complaining about the high price of mulberries, Li Sheng achieved mulberry freedom, making me envious again.
"This is such good luck! I wouldn't even dare to eat this much at a fruit supermarket."
"Mulberries in fruit shops are sold in boxes, costing over 20 yuan for 200 grams. A tree this big must be worth at least several thousand yuan."
"If you get a lure at the start, you can find delicious food just a few steps into the woods. You're a lucky person blessed by God."
"Maybe God was worried that our milk group would go hungry."
...
Li Sheng's good fortune wasn't over yet. After walking a short distance from the mulberries, he saw a huge durian tree deep in the forest. He wondered if God had secretly adopted him as a godson, or if his grandfather had died so many years ago and had risen to the position of the Jade Emperor in heaven, and was now blessing his grandson.
