Wilderness Survival with Druid System-Chapter 388 - 57: [Stimulant]

Zero frame start!

Abel didn’t even have time to stop him.

But since Chen Wen didn’t eat much, he didn’t make a fuss.

At this dosage, at most you’ll experience dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, mild poisoning symptoms.

You might even say you can only feel the medicinal effects of the belladonna.

If Chen Wen’s physical condition is good, he may not even have any poisoning symptoms.

On Chen Wen’s side.

He smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the black kidney fruit: "I must say, this thing is sweet and quite tasty. Just discussing the taste, it’s hard to imagine this is a poisonous berry."

"Next, let’s see when the effects kick in."

Saying this, Chen Wen closed his eyes.

Not to feel the effects, but because the system had some commotion.

[Plundering the natural creation — belladonna!]

[Plundering... plundering complete!]

[Please choose one of the following three entries]

[Picky (Purple): You are picky about your survival environment. If the surrounding environment doesn’t meet the optimal survival standards, your survival ability decreases]

[Madness (Blue): You will occasionally exhibit manic behavior]

[Note: Guess why I’m called belladonna? — Belladonna]

[Stimulant (Purple): Activate the entry to get the stimulant effect. The effect intensity depends on physical fitness and lasts ten minutes. ps: Active entry, requires a day to recover after each use]

[Please make a selection or give up within one minute! If overdue, the first entry will be automatically selected!]

This entry is brilliant!

Chen Wen decisively chose [Stimulant] to enhance explosive power.

Though it’s just ten minutes of true manhood, and a day of recovery time needed.

But since the entry ranks purple, its effect must be outstanding!

However, when he opened his eyes, Chen Wen suddenly sensed something was wrong.

He suddenly felt a bit thirsty, and his whole body became a bit excited.

This feeling... I don’t think I activated the [Stimulant], did I?

Chen Wen scratched his head, puzzled.

But quickly, he realized that the poison effect of the belladonna was taking effect.

Absurd, this thing was originally belladonna!

Only now did Chen Wen realize the name of this berry.

Long ago, when he researched medieval Druidism, he had come across an introduction about belladonna.

However, the time was too long, he only remembered that belladonna was called the witch’s berry and the beautiful woman’s berry.

He wasn’t quite sure what belladonna looked like.

But it seems to have a stimulant effect.

Eating too much might drive a person insane, perhaps cause hallucinations or something similar.

As for more severe outcomes, it could lead to death.

Because Chen Wen found belladonna under the toxic berries section.

To ensure the toxin wouldn’t affect him, Chen Wen soaked for a long time.

Not until noon, when the feeling of heatfulness completely disappeared, did he climb up the riverbank, dry off, and leave.

"A soak in the bath, feels good."

Chen Wen stretched his body, feeling refreshed: "This afternoon, I’ll continue processing cassava, so by tomorrow morning, I can have a bowl of cassava porridge! It’s a staple!"

Staple!

For Chen Wen, having a staple food right now is even better than all delicacies.

...

Time passed slowly.

Chen Wen followed the plan step by step until the next morning.

The pot bubbled, and the unique fragrance of cassava lifted the lid, as the bubbles exploding underwater spread the aroma on the morning of Caprivi.

Chen Wen smelled the scent of carbohydrates, feeling delighted.

"Really, this stuff must only exist in heaven!"

Chen Wen mused, using a reed stalk as a spoon, stirring the cassava porridge.

After soaking and stewing, the cassava resembled ice cream, being stirred into a paste in the pot by Chen Wen.

Chen Wen took out a turtle egg, cracked it open, and sniffed it.

It wasn’t spoiled but had a faint earthy smell.

Chen Wen didn’t mind, and just poured the turtle egg into the cassava porridge.

While stirring, he said: "This is a cooking method told to me by a friend from Hua Country’s Central Plains Province. There, they call it noodle dumplings."

"However, mine is heretical. Authentic noodle dumplings are made by mixing flour into a paste and then adding eggs."

"According to him, the end product of these dumplings has a great taste, with the fragrance of flour and the richness of eggs, a texture that is smooth with both the flour and eggs."

"Although I substituted cassava for flour and turtle eggs for chicken eggs, it should be similar, right?"

By the end, even Chen Wen wasn’t too sure.

On the show crew’s side, Lin Jiawei shook his head slightly.

Chen Wen, no, should I say Yang Feng’s aunt might not survive this.

This dark cuisine, its taste is probably indescribable!

...

The cassava paste was ready.

Chen Wen directly took down the pot to use as a bowl.

He leaned down above the pot, smelling: "Hmm, smells okay, not too strange."

"Should be edible, let me try it first!"

Chen Wen said, using a reed-made chopstick to pick up a little piece of turtle egg, putting it in his mouth.

Then, Chen Wen’s expression looked conflicted.

After a moment, the conflict was resolved.

"Hmm, edible."

Chen Wen said calmly.

It must taste very poor!

Lin Jiawei thought.

Chen Wen’s sense of taste is powerful, in his opinion.

So if Chen Wen says it’s very delicious, for ordinary people, it’s just delicious.

If Chen Wen says it’s delicious, for ordinary people, it’s average.

If Chen Wen says it’s edible, then it tastes very bad.

If Chen Wen says it’s inedible, absolutely do not try it!

At this point, a guide who had been watching for a while said: "It must be really fishy! The egg Chen Wen is holding belongs to the African sideneck turtle, probably stored too long, very fishy."

"If it’s a fresh African sideneck turtle egg, though it would still be quite fishy, it could be made into a fried egg if enough spices are used."

Lin Jiawei twitched the corner of his mouth, indeed!

And on the screen, Chen Wen looked at his pot of porridge with a complex expression.

Misjudged!

This turtle egg smelled okay, but eating it was so fishy!

And it’s not just ordinary fishiness, it has a very strong earthy fishiness.

Fine, add some spices and eat it salty.

Chen Wen sighed, adding spices to mask the fishiness with their flavor.

In this way, the fishiness was greatly alleviated.

The taste became manageable.

The mouthfeel was quite suitable.

In the end, Chen Wen was quite satisfied with finishing the meal.

Simultaneously, he acquired the entries for the turtle and cassava.
