Although Ye Qing had rejected the idea of living on an island from the bottom of his heart, now that he had these glasses, the situation did not seem so bad.
He was certain that the glasses could identify anything as long as he wanted to. At least, he did not have to worry about accidentally eating poisonous substances and dying from poisoning.
With this discovery, Ye Qing immediately became excited.
He did not go into the sea to catch fish to replenish his food. Instead, he went through the trouble to find coconuts because he was not familiar with seafood and did not dare to eat anything. Now, he could see what he could eat and what he could not with this pair of glasses.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing immediately prepared to return to the place where he had placed the box. Although he did not find fresh water, he could temporarily replace it with coconut milk.
However, his appetite was not something that could be satisfied with coconut meat.
It had to be said that humans were always greedy.
Previously, Ye Qing had thought that coconut meat was the most delicious food in the world, but now that he knew that he could eat other things, he immediately snorted at coconut meat.
Of course, he couldn't be blamed. After all, he was only eating coconut meat. Although he wouldn't starve to death, he couldn't replenish more nutrients for his body.
As soon as he got up, the system, which had been silent for a while, suddenly spoke again. Its voice was still as cold as ever.
"Congratulations to the host for triggering the system mission.”
As the voice rang out, the introduction of this so-called mission immediately appeared in Ye Qing's mind.
[Quest Title: Build Camp]
[Mission Introduction: A sturdy camp can provide a high degree of safety for the island's survival. At the same time, it can also give people a sense of belonging and sustenance. Hurry up and build your own nest!]
[Condition: Build a shelter where you can live]
[Mission Reward: System Points x30]
(Note: Points can be used to purchase items in the System Store)
"Points? The mall?"
Ye Qing scratched his head. He was a little confused. Until now, he still did not understand what was going on with this system.
Ever since he gave him a newbie gift bag, it was as if he had disappeared. Now, he suddenly appeared and even gave him a mission.
Could it be that after completing the mission, he could use his points to exchange for more items?
Thinking about it, Ye Qing felt that it was very possible.
If the system had only given him a novice gift bag and then disappeared, he would have found it strange.
He had originally planned to use the navigation glasses to catch some fish and prawns in the sea to reward himself. However, since the system had given him a mission, he would prioritize the mission first.
Moreover, it was already afternoon. There were still a few hours before night fell. At that time, he would definitely need a place to stay. He could not just sleep on the beach, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Qing suddenly felt that time was extremely tight.
He didn't even have to think about a villa with a sea view. However, he felt that he could build a wooden shed during this period of time. It was enough to shelter him from the wind and rain. His requirements weren't that high.
Thinking back to the survival documentary he had watched before, it seemed that many explorers had mentioned that one had to pay attention to the ebb and flow of the tide on the island and prevent the attack of ferocious beasts. Therefore, the first shelter should be built on a high place. It would be best if it could be built directly on a tree.
After carefully recalling the process of building the treehouse, Ye Qing quickly made up his mind.
Returning to the place where he had placed his luggage, he found a relatively thick tree with suitable branches and began his construction journey.
First, a large amount of wood was needed. Then, vines were needed to fix the wood into shape. Finally, the top was needed.
With limited conditions, Ye Qing planned to build an outline with wood first and then cover it with coconut leaves to deal with tonight.
The coconut leaves were easy to deal with. There were a lot of them in the coconut forest over there. There was no need to worry at all.
Therefore, the first step was to cut down the trees.
He only had a military knife in his hand now. He could use the saw teeth on the back of the knife as a saw. This was faster than cutting with the knife directly.
Ye Qing picked up a tree that was as thick as an arm and started to saw it.
There were many such trees around, each about three meters tall. It was the best choice to build a wooden shed.
However, ideals were plentiful, but reality was cruel.
The sawteeth on the back of the military saber could indeed speed up the cutting of trees, but it was not a real saw. The military saber was too short, and the part with sawteeth was even shorter. After placing it on the trunk, there was no extra part on either side.
As a result, the distance that Ye Qing could pull was very limited. Unless he could pull very fast, his speed of cutting down trees was comparable to that of a turtle.
Half an hour later, Ye Qing completely gave up on the idea of building a wooden shed.
Because after such a long time, he had not even cut down the first tree, and there were already several blisters on his palm, all of which were caused by holding the knife.
The pain was clearly transmitted to every nerve in his body, causing Ye Qing's consciousness to become very clear.
He knew very well that with his current speed, it would take at least three days to build a wooden shed that could be seen.
Three days was neither long nor short.
The weather on the island was unpredictable. It might be clear skies one moment, but it could rain heavily the next.
The strong contrast between the violent storm last night and the scorching sun when he woke up today was the best proof.
Under such circumstances, if there was no place to shelter from the rain and summer heat, it was easy to get sick.
And now, being sick meant death.
Ye Qing did not want to die, so he quickly turned his attention in another direction.
If building it himself didn't work, then what if he just picked up the ready-made one?
The so-called ready-made was to find a cave.
There was a cliff on the other side of the place where he had come ashore. In such a place, the cliff was eroded by the sea all year round. Perhaps he could really find a place to settle down.
With this thought in mind, Ye Qing walked towards the cliff.
He was very lucky. After swimming at the bottom of the cliff for a while, he found several dark caves on the cliff.
Moreover, these places were not very high and could be easily climbed up.
After checking a few entrances, he finally chose one that looked relatively dry.
The space was not big, but the terrain inside was relatively flat and the ventilation was good.
However, Ye Qing did not immediately move the suitcase over. Instead, he went to the forest to find some dry wood and piled it up. After lighting it with flint, he added a lot of freshly broken branches.
This could produce a very thick smoke, which was very helpful in getting rid of mosquitoes.
After waiting for a few hours, the smoke dispersed, and Ye Qing moved his luggage inside. Then, he went to the coconut forest to pick up a lot of coconut leaves and spread them on the ground. A temporary shelter was finally completed.
At this moment, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
