Chapter 31: Catching Stone Frogs, Gaining a Lot (Please Read More)



After finishing all this, Jiang Ye took out his utility knife and started peeling the cassava.

"I don't know if these are sweet cassava. There are two varieties of cassava: sweet and bitter. The bitter ones are because they are more toxic. They contain more of something called hydrogen cyanide."

"I can't remember what hydrogen acid is called right now. I've forgotten it."

"However, the best way to remove this toxin is actually to peel and boil it in water, or peel and slice it and dry it in the sun or oven, and then soak it in water. I remember soaking it in water was the least effective."

"However, fresh cassava is not easy to preserve and needs to be soaked in water to prolong its shelf life. Soaking in water can also remove toxins, so I peel it and soak it in water now."

[Haha, this forgetfulness is so real, it's just like me.]

[I learned something, I learned something. Brother Ye's wilderness class is really good.]

[I did learn that if I was unlucky enough to be selected, I would be able to find something to eat.]

"Do you think I'll be chosen next time? Our company is a world-class one, with hundreds of thousands of employees worldwide."

[Anyone has a chance, so now is the time to learn some wilderness survival skills, so you can use them if you ever need to go there.]

[That makes sense. I'll learn it. Even if I can't use it myself, I can help people like Brother Ye who have already appeared on the show. Maybe I can even save their lives. It's very valuable.]

[Compared to surviving in the wilderness, I'd rather go to the reincarnation world. That's more exciting!]

The live broadcast room seemed to become lively, but this had little to do with Jiang Ye.

He peeled all his cassava, then walked along the path he had climbed yesterday to the edge of the stream, found a suitable spot and soaked the cassava in the stream.

After making sure that the cassava would not be washed away, Jiang Ye washed his face.

"Next, I want to find some usable stones. For now, I can only stay in the Stone Age."

Jiang Ye wanted to find some thin stone slabs that he could use to bake food and as his workbench.

After all, there are still a lot of things to be processed.

In addition, he also wanted to make a stone hoe to dig things.

But in this Stone Age, it is not so easy to achieve.

Jiang Ye explored upstream along the stream, actually he mainly relied on the system's prompts.

The probability of discovering it with your own eyes is still relatively low, but the system is different.

Just after searching for more than ten minutes, Jiang Ye heard a system prompt.

[Tip: There is a high-temperature resistant stone slab two meters ahead, which is very suitable for processing food.]

Jiang Ye searched forward calmly, turning over stones from time to time to find his ideal stone.

After reaching the approximate range, Jiang Ye searched around.

Then Jiang Ye found the stone slab that the system prompted, and quickly cleared the stones around it.

"Excellent! This slab of stone is truly ideal. It's so wide and yet so thin. It's probably less than three centimeters thick, right?"

The slate is dark brown and looks very smooth.

Jiang Ye cleaned it and found it was more than 30 centimeters wide and about half a meter long.

It would be really cool if it were made into a barbecue table.

Jiang Ye stood it up, put it aside, and prepared to continue searching.

A few minutes later, a prompt sounded in Jiang Ye's mind.

[Hint: There's a delicious crab hiding under the rock at your feet.]

Can this be let go?

Jiang Ye reached into the water and turned over the stone, pretending to look for it.

"Hey, crab?"

"Ha, look what I caught?"

Jiang Ye caught the crab from the water and showed it off.

"The shell of this crab actually looks a bit purple?"

"Besides, it's quite big. The crab shell is three fingers wide. This is the first time I've seen such a big freshwater crab."

"When you have time, you should come and look for it more often. Crab meat is very delicious." Jiang Ye said as he went ashore, pulled a piece of grass, and tied up the crab.

Then, Jiang Ye put it into the big basket that originally contained wood ear mushrooms.

The small basket was converted into a fishing cage, so Jiang Ye tied the big basket around his waist.

The backpack was too big, and I came here to look for stones, so I didn’t carry it.

[Hint: There is a fat stone frog one meter to the right of the water. Its meat is delicious and nutritious.]

Jiang Ye was a little surprised. He didn't expect that just after catching a crab, a stone frog appeared.

Jiang Ye watched carefully, after all, many animals have good camouflage skills.

Stone frogs probably look like stones and are not easy to spot.

However, at a glance, a stone frog was discovered.

Jiang Ye approached cautiously. The stone frog was lying on a rock by the water, with its back facing Jiang Ye.

It’s not wrong to say that it’s fat. When it squats, it’s half the size of Jiang Ye’s palm.

With a sudden pounce, Jiang Ye covered the stone frog with his hands and successfully caught it.

"Look, what I caught?" Jiang Ye carefully grabbed the stone frog and showed off his catch.

【Wow, what a big frog! 】

[It looks so ugly, is it a poisonous toad?]

[Whatever it is, it’s protein, it’s meat!]

It's most likely a stone frog. Xiaoye's luck is pretty good. He flipped over a crab with his front foot, and then caught a frog in the blink of an eye. If nothing else, lunch is secured.

[That's great! The animals in this creek are quite good. We don't have to worry about food and water anymore.]

"It's really good. A frog and a crab. I can have meat for lunch." Jiang Ye said as he took out a disposable lunch box from his basket and put it in.

I still need to look for stones now, so I’ll turn it off for now and deal with it when I cook lunch.

After catching the stone frog, Jiang Ye continued to explore upstream and gradually heard the sound of a waterfall.

Because he was getting closer and closer to the waterfall.

[Hint: There are fat crabs hidden under the rocks in front of you on the right. Don’t miss them.]

Could it have missed this?

Jiang Ye turned over rocks many times to look for crabs along the way. After all, he couldn't wait until the system prompted him to do so every time.

That way, it would be too easy to be exposed.

However, he did not turn out the crab.

Following the system's instructions, Jiang Ye quickly turned over the crab, which looked bigger than the ones he had caught before.

However, it was very smart and ran away in an instant.

It took Jiang Ye five or six minutes to catch it.

After getting the second crab, Jiang Ye prepared to stop and rest for a while.

So he went to the shore and sat down.

As soon as I sat down, a system prompt sounded in my mind again.

Hearing this reminder, Jiang Ye became excited.
