The trees near the camp need to be sawed down, not only to broaden the view but also for building fences to increase security.
The surplus wood can be split and used as firewood.
With three meals a day and a fire needed at night for defense, the consumption of wood is quite large.
Xu Yi worked as if he didn't know fatigue and barely took any breaks.
It seemed like there was some stimulant added to the meat they ate.
"Xu Yi, take a break and have some water." Lu Ke couldn't stand it anymore and took the initiative to bring water to Xu Yi.
"It's strange, I don't feel tired at all doing this much work." Xu Yi took the water, puzzled.
At first, he thought it was the effect of the primary body enhancement agent, but now Xu Yi feels it's not that simple.
Maybe, there's something in the air on this planet that's changing his body.
"It seems that way. I used to feel dizzy if I worked for more than half an hour, but now I don't feel a thing." Lu Ke shared her feelings.
"Anyway, it's a good sign that the stronger our bodies are, the easier it is to survive." Xu Yi grinned, pushing away the chaotic thoughts in his mind.
Getting stronger is not a bad thing.
"So, my illness hasn't flared up." Lu Ke said happily and silently added to herself: Every extra day I live is a gain, so no matter what, I have to strive to survive, to live!
No one can calmly accept death, and Lu Ke feels she still has many regrets.
She has never been in love, never felt what it's like to be a woman, never experienced being a mother.
In short, she hopes to experience the life that other girls should.
"Maybe everything will be fine." Xu Yi smiled happily, as this was the most delightful news.
Lu Ke is still at the blooming age; her beautiful life has just begun and shouldn't wither away like this.
Xu Yi took a few more sips of water, then handed the pot to Lu Ke: "You should drink some, too. I've had enough."
Then, Xu Yi continued with the logging.
After working for an hour, Lu Ke finished preparing the thatch.
So Xu Yi picked a log of just the right thickness and crafted a ladder.
Using this ladder, Xu Yi and Lu Ke started laying the roof.
The roof is sloped to facilitate drainage.
Starting from the lower end of the slope, they covered it layer by layer.
Xu Yi laid two layers for better waterproofing, so there was no need to worry about roof leaks.
With the cabin problem solved, it was approaching noon.
Now, they needed to consider what to eat for lunch.
"Lu Ke, let's head to the beach and see if there's anything we can find." Xu Yi suggested.
After all, they couldn't come up with anything else; maybe they could try their luck at the beach. Perhaps they could find some shellfish or similar food.
"Alright, it doesn't seem very far from here to the beach," Lu Ke nodded. Anyway, they had already stored a plastic bag of fresh water this morning, so they could head out whenever needed.
Once decided, Xu Yi put water and the steel pot in his basket.
After all, Lu Ke's basket was used to hold a rabbit, so she couldn't carry it.
To prevent other animals from coming in, Xu Yi secured the basket at a height.
"Alright, let's go," Lu Ke said, with an arrow quiver hanging from her waist, holding a short crossbow, and wearing a ponytail.
Her look made many viewers in the live stream start to swoon.
"Let Lu Ke star in Tomb Raider. She's my ideal heroine, so beautiful!"
"Swoon, absolutely swooning, don't stop me, my Loli Ke is too beautiful."
"Support the Tomb Raider idea +10086, truly perfect."
"Forget Tomb Raider; I've decided to edit a movie starring Lu Ke from the live stream."
"Whoa, is that really the emerging director Jia Zhenke upstairs? Looking forward to it, looking forward to it!"
Not only were the viewers captivated, but Xu Yi was also stunned when he saw Lu Ke.
"What's wrong, is there something on my face?" Lu Ke touched her face, puzzled, and glanced at Xu Yi.
An hour ago, she had washed her face and hair, so it shouldn't be dirty, right?
"No, it's just that you're so beautiful," Xu Yi said, touching his chin, then picking up the Umbrella Tree Gun and stepping forward.
Lu Ke blushed, then stuck out her tongue and followed Xu Yi.
Being complimented for her looks was common, but it was the first time with Xu Yi, and he seemed somewhat shy.
To Lu Ke, Xu Yi's words sounded the most sincere and heartfelt.
So beautiful, he didn't even dare to look twice!
"Xu Yi, why aren't there any wild vegetables? There should be a lot, right?" Lu Ke asked curiously as she followed Xu Yi.
"It is a bit strange, just some weeds." Xu Yi was also puzzled, as they encountered only tough weeds.
"We should keep an eye out along the way; we can't just eat meat," Lu Ke reminded, as wild vegetables can provide plenty of vitamins and dietary fiber.
"True, discovering a staple food would be even better."
Not only is it crucial to eat vegetables along with meat, but carbohydrates are also necessary to prevent immediate hypoglycemia.
Carbohydrate sources mainly include staple foods like rice, wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.
The two of them walked toward the beach, one after the other.
Suddenly, Lu Ke moved ahead of Xu Yi.
Because she discovered something.
"Xu Yi, look, mushrooms! We can eat mushrooms!" Lu Ke said excitedly and prepared to pick the dozen or so mushrooms.
"If you don't mind experiencing hallucinations or diarrhea, feel free to pick them and eat." Xu Yi immediately said.
Thanks to Xu Yi's poisonous substance identification experience package, he instantly recognized that the mushrooms Lu Ke found were toxic.
"Oh no, these mushrooms are poisonous. What a pity!" Lu Ke pouted, immediately feeling down.
She thought she had found something good, but it turned out to be poisonous.
The live stream audience also started discussing because of the mushrooms' appearance.
"Xu Yi is too sure of himself, saying these mushrooms are toxic. How does Xu Yi know if mushrooms from an alien planet are toxic?"
"Yeah, that really dampens our Loli Ke's enthusiasm."
"A rule of thumb in the wild is never to touch mushrooms unless you know them."
"That's right, it's challenging to tell toxic from nontoxic mushrooms by appearance. Toxic mushrooms outnumber nontoxic ones."
Xu Yi laughed and then pointed to the distance: "There are wood ear mushrooms there, which are non-toxic. If you hadn't found these, I wouldn't have discovered the wood ears either."
As he spoke, Xu Yi pointed to a not-so-distant tree trunk covered with plenty of black wood ear mushrooms.
