Three hours later…
"I'm back."
Fang Chen carried the stone pickaxe and returned to the camp covered in sweat.
Heidi was renovating her own wooden house. Of course, she had always felt that she was staying temporarily, so the layout was arranged according to Fang Chen's room.
Hearing Fang Chen's voice, Heidi walked out of the room and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a smile.
"Done?"
"Yes, how are things on your side?"
"It's almost done."
"That's good."
Fang Chen placed the stone pick in the wooden house and walked out to look around.
The campsite looked a little more like it now…
The two wooden houses were connected, and there was a hollowed out hole in the middle that allowed one person to pass through. This way, it could ensure that the fire and temperature from Fang Chen's side could reach Heidi's side.
There was a wooden fence surrounding the outside, and it looked like a courtyard.
The only thing lacking was the courtyard's outer space. Other than the debris scattered in the middle when they were making things, there was nothing else.
"When we have time in the future, we can plant a tree here. It will look better this way.”
As the saying went, it was good to enjoy the shade under a big tree. If there was a tree, the entire courtyard would look more lively.
After looking at it happily, Fang Chen began to deal with the wild pheasant.
Actually, Heidi could have come for this kind of thing. However, ever since he came to this island to survive, Fang Chen began to enjoy the feeling of cooking…
This might have something to do with his cooking ability...
He filled the clay pot with water, boiled it, killed the wild pheasant, threw it into the boiling water, and then removed its feathers.
The wild pheasant's feathers were very beautiful and colorful. Fang Chen did not throw it away but placed it under the eaves. When the sun came, he would take it out to dry it. It would still be useful in the future.
Holding the camping knife, he cut open the wild pheasant and removed all the useless internal organs. After that, Fang Chen smeared some coarse salt on it.
This coarse salt was refined by Heidi using seawater today. Although it could not compare to the usual edible salt, it could at least increase the taste…
He strung the wild pheasant with a wooden stick and placed it on the bonfire inside to slowly roast it.
By the way, Fang Chen and the others had never stopped their bonfire. There was already firewood prepared in their wooden house for them to continue burning.
Fang Chen did not throw away the plant ashes that he had burned. Instead, he collected them and put them aside.
Plant ash was a good thing. It was rich in multiple mineral elements and was a natural fertilizer!
Secondly, if there was bleeding, as long as the wound was not very serious (highlight), applying plant ash could stop the bleeding. It was quite magical…
"It smells so good…"
As time passed, the fragrance of the roast chicken began to spread!
Especially the golden oily feeling on his face, it made people want to take a bite!
"Can I eat it now?"
Heidi asked eagerly.
Hearing this, Fang Chen's lips curled up and he said with a smile,"Do you want to eat? If you want to eat it, then you have to work for me for another day!”
"Uh…"
Heidi was obviously stunned when she heard this.
That's right. She calculated that because she had eaten Fang Chen's meal, she had already fallen into a cycle of owing one more day.
If she could endure not eating for two days and insisted on helping Fang Chen with his work, she could pay him back and leave...
But now, seeing the delicious food in front of her, Heidi was really in a difficult position.
He hadn't eaten for two days…
Furthermore, Fang Chen obviously did not want Heidi to work outside the wooden house. Otherwise, she would be able to help out if she were to find some wild things outside.
"Don't think about it."
"To be honest, from the day you agreed to work for me, you've already lost the right to compete with others!”
"Besides, if you eat this roast chicken, you'll owe me four days of work. Do you think you'll still have a chance to get first place if you waste four days? No, not to mention first place, you don't even have the qualifications to be in the top three!”
Heidi fell silent.
Indeed, from the moment she chose to seek Fang Chen's help, she seemed to have lost her competitive edge.
One had to know that she had not only helped Fang Chen increase his ranking these few days, but she had also firmly secured the last place!
Unless she could get first place every day in the future, otherwise... she was destined to not be able to participate in this competition!
"Then according to what you said, I can actually withdraw from the competition now.”Heidi muttered.
Since she couldn't get the money, what was the point of her participating in this competition?
"That is indeed the case."
"But…you received an invitation fee, at least 500,000 USD, right?" Fang Chen said lightly. Do you think it's good for you to withdraw from the competition like this? This is the first!"
"Secondly, you have a reputation. You have to keep your word. If you withdraw now, what do you think your reputation will be like?”
"Thirdly, don't you think this competition is very different from the ones you've participated in in the past? Don't you want to stay and see what will happen in the future?”
"Fourthly, the organizers didn't stop us from working together, which means that it's within the rules…Since you and I can work together, what about the others? This competition is not as simple as you think!”
After saying that, Fang Chen quietly looked at the wild pheasant that was about to be roasted.
He had already thought of everything he would say. After all, from the moment Heidi agreed to cooperate with him, all of this had been part of his plan!
Of course, the most important thing was the last sentence. From the moment they started working together, he had already guessed what the organizers wanted to do...
This competition…would be a revolution!
"You have a point."
After calming down and thinking for a while, Heidi agreed with Fang Chen.
Whether it was for her reputation or for the 500,000 USD invitation fee, she could not easily withdraw from the competition. Otherwise…no one would look for her in the future!
"In that case…I have no choice but to eat this roast chicken!”Heidi's blue eyes shone as she said.
"Whatever."
Fang Chen smiled and reached out to pick up the camping knife. He quickly cut through the roast chicken.
"Half each."
"Thank you."
Thus, in front of millions of viewers, the two of them began to feast.
The crunchy bite made the two of them forget about the fatigue of the day!
"It's really delicious…"
Heidi said with a smile, her beautiful face filled with satisfaction.
"If it's delicious, then eat quickly. There are still things to do later.”
"It's almost night time now. Do you still want to go out?”
"Of course! I want to go out at this time!"
