This game is so weird!

Chapter 23 Sunset and Grilled Fish

When Muyu returned with two large fish, there was already a pile of coconut shells near the dining table. Many of the coconut meat inside the shells had been scraped off and were being dried in the sun on a palm leaf, in an attempt to make dried coconut meat using traditional methods.

"Wow! You guys are eating so well, why didn't you bring any over for your brothers!"

"Haha, you're back too. I thought you'd be back soon, so I didn't go over. I drank too much and was too full to walk."

Ye Yu chuckled twice, trying to cover her embarrassment. She quickly picked up a coconut, and with practiced ease, chopped off the coconut head.

"You've worked hard, come and have some coconut water to quench your thirst."

He propped himself up and handed over the coconut, but after the wooden fish took it, he collapsed back to the ground, gently rubbing his round belly with one hand.

"How much did you guys drink? Your bellies are all swollen in no time."

Muyu wondered, "Isn't it just coconut water? Is it really that delicious?"

"Eight or nine, I guess?"

"I have seven or eight..."

"Pikachu..."

Pikachu waved its hand, trying to gesture that it had drunk a lot.

Wooden Fish glanced at the three of them strangely, then raised the coconut and drank it all in one gulp.

"Wow! That feels so good!"

The cool water flowed through my esophagus and into my whole body, instantly dispelling the sweltering heat from being exposed to the sun while fishing.

"That's great, give me another one."

Ye Yu raised her finger and pointed to the dagger that had just been placed on the table, her face contorted in pain as she remained motionless.

"Look, the knife is over there. Just grab the coconut and it'll be fine."

"You're so lazy!"

With a disgruntled snort, Muyu grabbed a palm leaf and tossed the two fish onto it, then picked up a knife and began to work.

Before long, the coconut shells on the ground were piled higher and higher.

Muyu also sat on the ground with a subtle expression, rubbing his stomach with one hand.

"Is this stuff really not toxic or addictive?"

"After trying one, I kept wanting to drink it, and I only stopped when it hurt."

The second cat, lying on the ground, replied, "There shouldn't be any, the attribute panel looks normal."

"Is it possible that our bodies haven't eaten anything good? Just like a child who wants to eat everything and finds everything delicious, plus being physically strong, and then indulging in a gluttonous feast..."

"Well……"

Wooden Fish rubbed his belly and lay down as well.

"If we take a few back to base and sell them to other players, we should be able to earn a lot of contribution points, right?"

"Even diluted with water, it should still sell, and there's no need to add sugar."

"It seems so..."

Eating with a brand new mouth is so delicious!

The three of them couldn't help but have an idea: it's a shame to use this authentic game for desert island survival; it should be used for cooking!

After resting for a while, the three woke up and slowly climbed up from the beach.

By this time, the setting sun was almost touching the sea level, and the view was beginning to be filled with orange light.

"I'll go prepare the fish; can you guys figure out how to start a fire?"

Wooden Fish took out his dagger from his backpack and walked towards the two large fish that had left school early. Their flat, lifeless scales reflected golden light in the setting sun.

"oh--"

With a lazy reply, Ye Yu and Er Miao stood up and stretched their bodies.

Pikachu stood up, stretched, and slowly climbed onto Yeyu's head. It grabbed a clump of hair with one hand and patted Yeyu's forehead with the other, indicating that it was sitting properly.

"Let's go, let's gather some firewood first, and then find some suitable sticks to grill the fish."

"Okay~~"

The second cat, who had just woken up, drew out the last sound of its voice.

"You can pick up dried mangrove branches that have fallen to the ground, or find some dry grass to burn, which is also very convenient."

Before long, Ye Yu gathered a handful of branches, cut a long stick from a nearby tree trunk, and picked a few fragrant fruits from the tree.

After stuffing everything into the four-dimensional backpack, they returned to the campsite.

He gathered a ball of dry grass on the ground and arranged the branches into the shape of a smokestack. Ye Yu held two pieces of wood, looking a little worried.

"How do you start a fire with this thing?"

At that moment, Pikachu jumped down and patted its chest.

"Pikachu!"

Then, the red spots on her two cheeks emitted a faint electric light, and a weak current swept across the dry grass in Ye Yu's hand, instantly igniting the clump of grass.

"Wow!"

"Pikachu, you're amazing! That's so convenient!"

Night Rain kept praising how convenient this Pokémon game was! Hopefully, the game company can withstand the pressure from the developers and not optimize it like they did with Palkia.

"Pee~"

Pikachu scratched its head a little embarrassedly.

Ye Yu quickly stuffed the burning dry grass into the haystack, and after the haystack emitted black smoke, he quickly blew on it a few times.

By the time Mokuyu returned with the prepared fish and Ermiao with the firewood, the fire had gradually grown stronger.

Two Meows exclaimed in surprise:

"Wow! That's impressive, Lao Ye! He even got a fire going!"

"Haha, it was all thanks to Pikachu that it was lit."

"Pikachu is amazing!"

"Pee~~"

Er Miao picked up Pikachu and rocked it up and down like a child. Pikachu squinted its eyes and danced with delight.

"What...?"

Ye Yu opened her mouth in surprise. "How come you've been able to pet Pikachu all afternoon?"

He tentatively reached out his hand.

"Skin--"

He withdrew his hand again.

"Hehe, I'm on good terms with Pikachu, right?~"

"Pikachu~"

Ignoring the sour night rain and the playful Er Miao, the only serious person (who considered himself to be Muyu) laid the fish flat, skewered the two fillets onto two whittled wooden sticks, sprinkled them with unknown spices bought from the bar, and roasted them by the fire.

As the aroma of meat slowly rose, the three people and the rat sat around the fire, slowly eating the red fruit that Ye Yu had picked.

It's sweet and sour with a slightly prickly sensation, which is surprisingly quite addictive.

As the sun gradually sets, painting the sky and sea red, Er Miao couldn't help but sigh:

"It's so beautiful... I've been to Qingdao so many times, but I've never seen such blue water and such a dazzling sunset."

"Yes... I haven't seen a sunset in a long time either."

"Pikachu, Pikachu..."

"It's true, the scenery in this game is absolutely stunning!"

After they finished speaking, they fell silent, staring blankly at the sunset until it completely disappeared into the sea and was obscured by the water before they came back to their senses.

Coming to his senses, Muyu slowly said, "How about I find a place to build a house tomorrow?"

"Huh?"

The fisherman, who has never liked building houses, actually wants to build one? Ye Yu was a little taken aback.

Seeing no response, Muyu assumed that the man hadn't heard him clearly, so he raised his voice and repeated himself.

"Shall we find a nice place to build a house tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay!"

Er Miao answered quickly and cheerfully, seemingly not quite understanding either.

"I found a really pretty little reef, with a small beach and some coral reefs and stuff on the seabed nearby."

Ye Yu also offered suggestions, "It's a bit small, and there aren't any coconut trees or anything on it."

"We can go check it out! Anyway, you can't build houses on the big island, so having a small island is already pretty good!" Er Miao immediately realized this as well. She clearly liked building houses and had even gone to the bar to inquire about the restrictions on building functions.

"OK! Let's go look for it together tomorrow."

"OK!" "Yay!"

The three reached an agreement and continued to discuss it. They planned to talk to the drivers in the group who played the game together the next day about whether to build the house together. Then they took their tools and materials to build the house!

After finishing their discussion, Muyu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and tore off a piece of fish meat, putting it in his mouth.

"Mmm, it smells delicious!"

"Hey, I'll give it a try too."

Night Rain and Er Miao quickly tore off a few pieces of fish, handed some to Pikachu, and then imitated them by stuffing them into their mouths.

"Wow, this is delicious!"

"Uh, why is this one bitter?"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

As night deepened, the atmosphere around the bonfire on the beach became increasingly joyful.
