Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 65 Upgrading Two More Skills

Cai Fankun reluctantly took the gloves and put them on silently.

Can he say no?
In front of the camera, he really had no way to refuse.

If he refuses to work, will he still be allowed to live in the new shelter?

Unless, he is not prepared to stay, nor is he prepared to continue the challenge.

In order not to lose the bet, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and persevere.

And after agreeing, you can still find a way to be lazy, which is better than refusing and blocking the road.

"Then what should we do?" An Yifei asked when she saw that Meng Chao had not assigned her any tasks.

"Senior sister, you will be responsible for lighting, and IU will be responsible for paying attention to the situation around us, so that we can work with peace of mind." Meng Chao took a wooden stick with a tree branch, hung the lamp on it, and handed it to An Yifei.

There are stones everywhere, only about ten meters away.

An Yifei fixed the lamp and tried to move some small stones.

[Carrying proficiency +1]
[Stone Stacking Proficiency +1]
Meng Chao is not only working, but also improving his proficiency.

Moving it ten times was still very fast, and Meng Chao soon saw the two prompts he wanted to see.

[Handling proficiency has reached 10 points and can be upgraded]
[Stone stacking proficiency has reached 10 points and can be upgraded]
"System, upgrade and transport."

Meng Chao muttered to himself.

The next second, he felt a warm current flowing through his body, and at the same time, his muscles felt itchy, and all the tiredness in his body was swept away.

He gained a deeper understanding of carrying, mastered the skills of carrying, and obtained many ways to save energy.

Overall, this is a very practical skill, which is exactly what he needs right now.

"System, upgrade the stone." Meng Chao continued to upgrade.

This is more about skills and professionalism, and has little impact on the body. After mastering it, he can build a flat and stable stone wall without the help of tools, and can make better use of stones, which is also very helpful to him.

"Meng Chao, you come to build the base, and we two will be responsible for carrying it. Your base will be higher than ours, so it will be more stable." Ma Dongxi noticed that Meng Chao built the base better, so he took the initiative to suggest it.

This foundation is very important and is related to the quality of the subsequent shelter.

"Okay, leave it to me." Meng Chao agreed without hesitation. After all, building a stone wall is easier.

If you can work less, then naturally do less. There is no need to rush to do more work.

The rain gradually stopped, but there was still rain on the ground, making it impossible to sleep.

Ma Dong-seok carried the stones back one by one, and Cai Fankun would take a one-minute break after carrying each stone, aiming to do as little as possible.

Everyone has become accustomed to his situation and no one talks about him anymore.

As time passed, everyone felt tired and sleepy.

"Senior Sister, let's cook some porridge first. Everyone is hungry." Meng Chao stopped what he was doing and prepared to cook some rice porridge first.

Three pounds of rice are packed in a sealed bag, so there is no need to worry about it getting wet by rain.

"Okay, you do it and I'll be responsible for making the fire." An Yifei knew that Meng Chao was worried about her and didn't want her to continue moving stones.

Although she moved less than Cai Fankun that night, she didn't even wear gloves and was not a girl with super strength.

Meng Chao went to get some water, then poured some rice into the pot and placed the pot on the stone stove.

Meng Chao took out some tinder from his waist bag and successfully ignited the tinder with a magnesium rod.

Stuff some small branches into the stone stove to help the fire burn smoothly.

"Okay, leave it to me." An Yifei already had a handful of branches in her hands and was ready to take over.

"Take a break and don't work too hard." An Yifei reminded him with a concerned look on her face.

"Yes, I will." Meng Chao grinned and sat down to rest. The ground was almost dry, and the moisture would not seep into the pants after sitting for a while, but it was a little cold.

Ma Dong-seok was obviously tired, and his speed in moving stones slowed down a lot.

As for Cai Fankun, Meng Chao was too lazy to complain about him. He directly gave his gloves to Li Zhien and had been resting on the side for more than ten minutes.

Perhaps because they were tired or sleepy, no one wanted to talk and it was very quiet. Only the sound of insects could be heard.

After more than twenty minutes, the aroma of rice wafted from the pot.

"I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten rice for a few days, but this rice porridge feels quite fragrant." An Yifei couldn't help but sigh after smelling the fragrance.

"It is indeed very fragrant, but it may also be related to the fact that we haven't eaten rice for a few days."

"When a person is hungry, any food smells delicious."

An Yifei nodded in agreement with her junior brother's words.

"Eat more later and don't go hungry." An Yifei reminded him, worried that Meng Chao was too concerned about others.

"Okay." Faced with An Yifei's concern, Meng Chao felt happy.

The senior sister’s recognition was not in vain, and she immediately brought the two closer together.

Such selfishness was absolutely impossible before.

[Cooking proficiency +1]
Meng Chao didn't expect that he could gain proficiency by cooking porridge, and he was very happy.

Meng Chao, extremely happy, stood up, walked forward, lifted the lid of the pot and checked what was inside.

The rice porridge is still very thick, filling the pot.

"Sister, there's no need to burn it. Just wait until the firewood in the stove is burned out." After saying that, Meng Chao put the pot lid back.

Meng Chao clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention with his voice and making everyone stop.

"Everyone, take a break. The rice porridge will be ready soon. Let's prepare for breakfast."

It was just past four o'clock and it was still dark.

"I really don't want to eat breakfast so early. I would rather sleep now." Cai Fankun ran over immediately and complained angrily.

Not only did I not get any sleep, I also had to do some physical work. Even if I was lazy, I still did some work.

Meng Chao glanced at Cai Fankun, and then said, "You speak as if everyone thinks the same thing."

Cai Fankun didn't say anything, because he really didn't have the energy to be stubborn.

Ma Dong-seok and Lee Ji-eun also came over and sat casually on the ground.

Both of them are from the peninsula. They can sleep four or five hours a day and rely on coffee and various vitamin tablets to survive. In this case, they still have some advantages.

"Today is really bad. The ground is not dry yet. It's enough to experience something like this once. Tomorrow, let's focus on renovating the shelter." Ma Dongxi said weakly.

"Well, I really don't want to do heavy work all night. It's too tiring." Lee Ji-eun took off her gloves, revealing her red little hands.

She still has some potential to be a girl with super strength. She is quite strong and moved a lot of stones, which made her hands red.

Fortunately, I was wearing gloves to protect myself, otherwise my hands would have been covered with blisters.

Meng Chao withdrew his gaze from Li Zhien and said slowly: "Well, we should be able to finish the floor tomorrow."

"Using wood to lay it on is also softer to sleep on than stone."

"Later, we can collect some moss and dry it, and then lay it on the ground. It will be much more comfortable."

After hearing Meng Chao's description, Ma Dongxi couldn't help but look forward to it.

Although I laid some brown leather tonight, it was still not soft enough to sleep on.
