["Chapter 3: Building a Shelter, Making Fire", "The white sandy beach, the azure sea, and the gentle cool breeze—everything was so pleasant.", "Finally escaping the mugginess and humidity of the rainforest, Ye Zichuan felt like he had escaped from hell.", "Though it had only been a little over an hour, it had left him exhausted.", "As the drone's camera angle shifted, the azure sea was revealed to all the viewers in the livestream room.", "\"Hiss, this is what a real ocean looks like.\"", "\"The oceans on Earth now just smell like dead fish.\"", "\"Nova really is a paradise on earth.\"", "\"Alright, I've got my small goal now: save up to go to Nova!\"", "\"I heard the lowest ticket price is a hundred million new coins, and they're practically impossible to get even if you have the money.\"", "\"Suddenly, I feel like Earth is actually pretty good.\"", "\"Pfft—\"", "With the display of this beautiful ocean scenery, many people flooded into Ye Zichuan's livestream room.", "There were actually over two hundred viewers.", "It had been less than two hours since he landed.", "Many people were highly interested in Nova, especially beautiful beaches and oceans like this, which could hardly be seen on Earth anymore, attracting quite a few people to join.", "Ye Zichuan rested for a bit, recovering some of his strength, but he was still quite thirsty.", "Looking at the sun above the sea level, he knew he had to build a shelter as soon as possible.", "Walking along the fan-shaped sandy beach, Ye Zichuan stopped after a few minutes.", "There was a tree ahead. It was very thick but not very tall. Best of all, two of its branches grew horizontally.", "\"Great, right here. This can serve perfectly as a bed frame.\"", "Ye Zichuan was very satisfied with this spot.", "The branches were just over a meter off the ground, so he didn't have to worry about being flooded by the rising tide.", "The rainforest at night was too terrifying. Spiders, scorpions, bugs, and snakes would all come out—just thinking about it made his skin crawl.", "\"Time to get some wood.\"", "Ye Zichuan returned to the nearby rainforest, selected a few small trees about the thickness of an arm, placed his military knife at the base, and tapped the back of the blade a few times with a stone. The knife bit right in.", "Soon, a tree fell.", "\"Tsk tsk tsk, the Streamer really chose a great tool.\"", "\"That military knife is of really good quality.\"", "\"Supposedly, it's the signature weapon of some top special forces soldier.\"", "\"That instantly ups his style points.\"", "\"Compared to other Streamers, Streamer No. 99 is really lucky.\"", "\"Lucky my foot. Anyone who has watched Master Xiaobei's shows knows that deserted island survival is the hardest. The sun can bake you to death during the day, and despite having the ocean right there, catching fish is not easy at all.\"", "\"Watched it too, +1. If an ordinary person is stranded on a deserted island, eighty percent of them would die.\"", "\"I believe in the Streamer, just based on his tree-climbing skills.\"", "\"Is he going to climb to go fishing?\"", "Spending over half an hour, he finally chopped all the wood into small sections of about one meter.", "Ye Zichuan then found a few very long vines to bind the wood together and carried them on his back to return to the Camp.", "The immortal water had not only improved his physical constitution but had also significantly increased his strength.", "In the past, he definitely wouldn't have been able to carry this wet wood.", "This gave him even more confidence!", "Returning to the tree from earlier, Ye Zichuan tied the wood to the two branches and secured them with vines, which only took him about ten minutes.", "By now, almost half of the sun had sunk below the sea level.", "\"I have to seize the chance to make a fire.\"", "He could go without food and water today, but a fire had to be made.", "He couldn't see how vast it was beyond the mountain, so he didn't know how large this rainforest was, nor what kind of animals lived in it.", "Once night fell, many animals would come out to active.", "Fire would provide him with the greatest sense of security!", "Hurrying back to the rainforest, Ye Zichuan searched for some dry wood, picked up a few pieces on the beach as well, and dragged them all back to the Camp.", "The sky grew even darker.", "He didn't stop, but continued walking along the beach, muttering something under his breath.", "Walking until the sun was almost gone, he finally saw what he had been dreaming of.", "Coconut trees!", "\"Holy crap, is the Streamer's luck really that good?\"", "\"Coconut trees! The Streamer is saved.\"", "\"They're so high up, how is he going to pick them? Even if they're there, he can't eat them.\"", "\"He can only look at them longingly. I feel bad for the Streamer for three seconds.\"", "\"Those guys upstairs must have never seen the Streamer climb a tree before, right?\"", "\"The Streamer climbing a tree?\"", "But they were disappointed.", "Ye Zichuan did not perform his tree-climbing skill again. Instead, he just picked up four coconuts from the ground and headed back.", "\"Damn, I thought the Streamer was going to perform tree-climbing again.\"", "\"Disappointed.\"", "\"Disappointed +1.\"", "\"Disappointed +2333.\"", "Hurrying back to the Camp, the sun had now completely disappeared, and the sky was dark.", "Ye Zichuan used stones to form a circle, then split open a withered yellow coconut and took out all the dry fibers from inside.", "After rubbing them together for a while, the fibers formed the shape of a bird's nest.", "Ye Zichuan took out his flint and scraped it hard a few times with the back of his military knife. Instantly, sparks flew everywhere and landed on the tinder.", "Immediately, a bright yellow flame slowly rose.", "Seeing this small flame, a heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of Ye Zichuan's mouth.", "\"I don't know why, but seeing the Streamer smile made me smile too.\"", "\"Me too.\"", "\"My mom asked me why I was grinning like an idiot at the screen.\"", "\"Hahaha...\"", "\"Just now I was still calling the Streamer stupid for picking up a completely dry coconut, but now I understand.\"", "\"So coconut husks can actually be used as tinder. It's my first time seeing this too.\"", "\"It's obvious the person upstairs has never watched Master Xiaobei's shows.\"", "As wood was added, the fire began to burn vigorously.", "Fire is absolutely humanity's greatest discovery. Ye Zichuan even believed that it was the symbol of humanity entering civilization.", "Ye Zichuan sat on the beach, the firelight reflecting on his face, with two small flames burning in his eyes.", "Then, he picked up a yellow coconut beside him and began to open the shell with his military knife.", "Yellow coconuts were those that had fallen after ripening, so there wasn't as much water inside.", "Ye Zichuan picked two that weren't as yellow, hoping there would be more coconut water inside.", "Taking over ten minutes, he finally peeled off the coconut husk and carved a small opening, revealing the white flesh inside.", "Ye Zichuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva.", "\"Damn, can the Streamer stop swallowing his saliva? I just swallowed mine too.\"", "\"Strange, I just finished a drink, but now I'm thirsty again.\"", "\"Can this kind of thing be contagious?\"", "Carving a circular opening, Ye Zichuan took a bite of the flesh, revealing an expression of pure enjoyment.", "This was his first time eating a coconut.", "Back on Earth, he simply didn't have the means to do so.", "So this is what a coconut tastes like.", "Thus, he couldn't wait to take a sip of the coconut water. It was refreshing and delicious, the best thing he had ever tasted in his life.", "There was only a little less than half of the coconut water inside, and he drank it all in one gulp.", "Licking his lips, he still wanted more.", "Without hesitation, he picked up the second coconut.", "He had observed when picking up the coconuts earlier that there were over a dozen coconut trees over there with quite a few coconuts hanging on them, enough to last him for a while.", "After finishing the second coconut, Ye Zichuan smacked his lips, feeling very satisfied.", "The sky had completely darkened. The campfire crackled, accompanied by the sound of the surging sea waves and the wind rustling through the leaves. Everything was so peaceful and quiet.", "This left Ye Zichuan a little dazed."]
