Live Strong in the Wilderness-Chapter 135: Supply Mission Goes Live

"What if the world outside the island is even more dangerous?" Lu Ke rubbed her hair and asked worriedly.

"There’s nothing we can do about it. Maybe when the time comes, even if we don’t want to leave, the organizers will force us to. But don’t worry too much, we have 500 days, and they surely won’t make us leave so soon." As he spoke, Xu Yi couldn’t help but glance at the filming drone.

Lu Ke nodded in agreement, thinking that the organizers love stirring things up; otherwise, they wouldn’t have set up territory tasks and sent them to hunt the beasts in those territories.

"Ding, supply mission is online. All players, please prepare for the challenge. From now on, the fiercer the animals you hunt, the more points you will earn. Players can use points to exchange for various items. Once a player’s points reach 100, the Star Chart’s exchange system will open. You have performed well this month, so keep it up."

"Supply mission, the supply mission is online?" Lu Ke’s eyes brightened with excitement as she said, "I wonder what supplies we’ll get. Will they include rice?"

After a month without eating rice, Lu Ke still really wanted to have a meal of it.

Unfortunately, the Star Chart didn’t provide any answers.

"Just one month has passed, and they are making us busy again?" Xu Yi rubbed his nose, somewhat helplessly glancing at the filming drone.

The organizers really know how to toss things up.

"Dear viewers, we have received another new task. It’s a supply mission: hunt beasts to earn points, which can then be exchanged for various supplies. Look, the organizers are stirring things up again, and you guys should be happy about it, right?" As he spoke, Xu Yi threw a stick into the campfire, causing some sparks to fly up.

As soon as Xu Yi finished speaking, the live stream room became lively.

"After a month, the basic survival issues are settled. What’s the point if you’re always playing it safe?"

"The organizers are mighty, bringing online a new task again."

"Bring it on, bring it on! Without adding some difficulty, where’s the fun?"

"After all, it’s a 500-day challenge, not just 50 days. They have to stir things up; otherwise, it’ll be too boring."

"I was wondering why the organizers planned such a long duration; turns out this is the key, to make everyone continuously challenge nature."

"These organizers are quite ruthless. This way, no team can just slack off."

"Not necessarily, they had no supplies for the first month and still pulled through, didn’t they?"

"I guess some teams will probably play it safe since not everyone is a good hunter."

"Taking the initiative is always better than playing it safe. Maybe without supplies in the future, there will be no way to survive."

"Don’t forget, after 100 days, the location will change. Maybe this supply mission is actually preparing for the next challenge site?"

"This task is very unfair. For hunting experts, it’s a giveaway. For newbies, it’s a death sentence!"

"Ha ha, this is a game for the strong by nature; over a hundred teams of weaklings have already been eliminated."

"I thought the show would become more and more bland, but now I see I underestimated the organizers. Hunting brings points; they’re forcing us to confront the beasts now. Previously, we avoided them whenever we could."

"Now it seems the organizers just want to see a real survival show. If it gets too dull, they spice it up a bit. They don’t care whether people will die."

"Why should they care? They are higher beings. Would you care about the life and death of ants?"

"Why must higher beings disregard our lives? Those dead challengers didn’t have to die. They were unwilling to give up the 1 billion; otherwise, they could have quit the challenge."

"Looking forward to tomorrow, watching them hunt is interesting and thrilling."

Because of this, Lu Ke was somewhat sleepless, taking half an hour to fall asleep after getting into bed.

She knows Xu Yi will definitely earn points. Of course, she supports it, and is even a little excited.

So her insomnia wasn’t due to worry or fear, but rather anticipation and excitement.

Tonight, there were many people who couldn’t sleep.

After all, such a sudden task had a big impact on everyone.

Surviving a month has naturally made everyone quite mindful of the ten billion prize money. Moreover, they all believe they have enough ability to meet the 500-day challenge.

But with this task, the difficulty naturally increased.

Some people were hesitating whether to ignore this task and continue safely through each day, as before.

After all, every single attempt to actively hunt animals carries risk.

Who knows if they might fail, get eliminated, and miss the ten billion grand prize?

Compared to most people, Xu Yi was not affected at all; when the time came, he went to bed and soon fell asleep.

After all, being a man with a system, he must remain calm.

The best defense is an offense; if they hunted all the nearby beasts, the camp would naturally become safe, without needing to reinforce it. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Previously, they didn’t do this due to insufficient conditions and limited strength from him and Lu Ke. But if other teams act together, then the clearing force will be effective.

Now with this task, most teams should take the initiative to earn points.

Especially if they learn what kind of supplies can be exchanged, there may be even more teams madly hunting beasts.

After a good night’s sleep, Xu Yi got up.

Lu Ke had been up for a while; she had not only practiced the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening, but also prepared breakfast.

"Xu Yi, I suddenly remembered watching a show where raisins aren’t sun-dried, but rather air-dried in a ventilated house." Lu Ke said, glancing at the grapes spread on the palm frond mat.

"Drying in the sun or the shade, both methods work. Sun-dried raisins tend to turn sour, whereas air-dried ones are of better quality. However, the climate here isn’t dry enough for air-drying, so it’s better to sun-dry them directly." Xu Yi explained to Lu Ke, noting he would have preferred the shade-drying method if possible.

"So that’s how it is, I thought they could only be air-dried." Lu Ke stuck her tongue out, embarrassed.

"After spreading out the grapes, let’s go hunting. Hopefully, we won’t come back empty-handed today." With that, Lu Ke took the palm frond mat outside and spread the grapes out.

After finishing up, Xu Yi and Lu Ke grabbed enough jerky and boiled water, and began their hunting journey.
