In the end, Chen Yang acted alone. Accompanying him were only Yu Bailing, a little girl with a good relationship with Chen Liu, her father, and Weng Ji. Although they would be leaving in a couple of days, they still followed Chen Yang.
This unsociable behavior led to them being ostracized by others.
Chen Yang and Chen Liu said they didn't care about this, and Yu Bailing and his father, being residents of the realm, trusted Chen Yang a lot and were even less concerned about other people's opinions.
They weren't granted permission to hunt, and taking children hunting is a controversial activity that parents wouldn't accept. So Chen Yang only planned to go out and look for wild fruit and collect some firewood.
The nights in Bolivia are quite cold this time of year, as Chen Yang experienced last night. Their tents and sleeping bags provided some warmth, but not enough to make them sleep comfortably. It didn't bother him, but Chen Liu was still young, and he didn't want Chen Liu to catch a cold.
"The Micro Realm has already opened, but unfortunately, due to the time difference, I can't enter it."
Ongji, who was temporarily accompanying them, sighed.
He was quite responsible throughout the trip, constantly introducing various organisms and plants to everyone. This was originally a learning and training camp, and their goal was to learn in nature.
"Let's enter the micro-realm in batches after we get back, and then take turns keeping watch at night, so we can avoid each other," Chen Yang said.
The entry time for the Micro Realm is based on Beijing time. If you cross too many time zones, it may be open during the day.
This time was no exception; the twelve-hour time difference caused the opening time of the Micro Realm to completely conflict with the event time here.
Fortunately, the micro-world forces you into sleep, so you can enter the micro-world during the day if you want. Moreover, because of the different flow of time, you can spend quite a bit of time in the micro-world.
Everyone was free to participate in this camping trip without any restrictions, which was one of the reasons why Chen Yang didn't join the others.
If he were to act on his own, he could easily spend an entire morning hiding in his tent, immersing himself in the micro-world.
By the time it was almost evening in the morning, there was plenty of time for activities in the Micro World.
However, this is not a safe place to enter, so it's better to have someone guarding it.
This is the first day, and Chen Yang doesn't plan to stay in the micro-world for long. He wants to figure out the situation first.
They gathered enough wood and found one or two kinds of plants, then went back to start a fire.
"Let's make a ceramic pot. I'm still not used to the outdoor cooking utensils that came with it," Chen Yang said.
Then he started kneading mud and making pottery pots with Chen Liu.
Yu Bailing and her father were in charge of cooking dinner that night.
The food delivered by the superhumans consisted of dried meat and fast food. Although they were of high quality and nutritionally complete, they weren't very tasty.
They were lucky; they found some plants in the wild that could be used as seasonings, and even wild ginger and mushrooms. They put the dried meat in and simmered it into a soup, which was much better than eating it directly.
Meanwhile, the other child prodigies and their parents could only obediently eat dried meat and fast food, as well as the only somewhat unripe peaches they could find that day.
Seeing that Chen Yang had started a fire, they followed suit and started their own fires as well.
Although there were no lighters, fire starters were provided for everyone. Although it was a bit of a hassle, starting a fire wasn't too difficult.
The fire that was lit over there drew cheers; the small flame seemed to bring boundless hope.
But the fire went out in less than ten minutes.
The group was so excited that they didn't even notice the wood was gone.
Fortunately, although the fire went out, the charcoal was still burning, and the flames quickly rose again.
Not all the parents were wealthy; one or two were ordinary families who had started fires when they were young and knew how to make a fire burn longer.
Today they encountered many problems in assigning tasks, because no one was willing to obey someone's orders. Although no one said it out loud, they were all secretly competing with each other.
Although everyone came with the intention of socializing, they all wanted to prove themselves, especially in front of the children, where they wanted to show off.
In contrast, the children were much calmer. They were more concerned with learning more during the activity and also showed curiosity about nature.
Children at this age are naturally curious about everything. They are just beginning to explore the world and build their own worldview. Even if they are more mature than other children, they are still full of curiosity and longing for nature.
Unfortunately, not many parents realized this; they were more concerned with how to make themselves and their children stand out in the event and meet more people.
Just then, Chen Yang's meat soup started simmering, filling the air with its aroma. Although he was using the same cooking utensils he used in the wild, he was still able to make it quite delicious.
Chen Yang's cooking skills are actually quite good, and he has a wealth of experience in cooking outdoors.
In addition to the items prepared by the superhumans, participants can also prepare their own items for this camping trip, but food is not allowed. There are also weight restrictions.
Many parents prepared all sorts of picnic supplies, including fishing rods, barbecue equipment, and even a hairdryer, though they themselves were too embarrassed to take it out.
If it weren't for the rule against bringing them on airplanes, there would probably be a lot of people carrying portable gas stoves.
But Chen Yang was different; he only brought a bag of salt and two bottles of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.
Is there anything more versatile than Lao Gan Niang (a popular chili sauce brand)? Nothing.
When the aroma of Lao Gan Niang (a popular chili sauce brand) wafted out, everyone was salivating.
Salt, on the other hand, makes their broth even more flavorful.
Salt truly deserves its reputation as a fundamental ingredient in people's lives; with salt, everything can become flavorful.
I found a type of fern in the woods, blanched it in boiling water, and it cooked quickly. It's also quite delicious when eaten raw with Lao Gan Ma chili sauce.
The superhuman's fast food was also taken out, and it was stir-fried again with salt, wild mushrooms, and a little bit of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce. It looked much more delicious and smelled wonderful.
After they finished cooking the vegetables, they started brewing ginger tea in the pot.
Each person receives a cup of ginger tea, a plate of side dishes, a bowl of meat soup, and a serving of processed fast food.
This simple food is incredibly tempting at this moment.
Moreover, Chen Yang and his team's skillful operation was very comfortable to watch. Any skill that is mastered through practice is worth appreciating.
The contrast between the two sides is now very clear: one side can only eat dry jerky and tasteless fast food, while the other side has a combination of meat and vegetables, soup, and delicious food.
This disparity has made these parents feel somewhat unbalanced.
They felt they could do it too, and they were going to show those loners their strength tomorrow.
The power of the masses is great!
The map is almost finished. I'll release the book review section and reader group tomorrow. Those interested can take a look. Also, the winners, please send me your addresses; I'll mail them out after the National Day holiday.
