Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

Daylight broke. By the time the sun rose above the sea, Qin Chuan had already gotten up and washed.

There was a commotion in the camp. Lin Shishi was the first to come out, wearing a light blue T-shirt and with her hair tied in a low ponytail. She smiled when she saw Qin Chuan.

"Good morning, Brother Chuan."

"morning."

Fan Yubing was the second to come out. She wore a white tank top with a khaki skirt, her hair casually pulled back behind her ears, and her face was expressionless. It was the second day of her period, and her complexion was a little better than the day before, but her lower abdomen was still uncomfortable, and her gait was unsteady, clearly indicating that she was carrying something with her.

Yang Mimi and Liu Yifei came out of the same room one after the other. Yang Mimi was wearing an orange sweatshirt and looked very energetic. She started muttering to herself, "Last night, Mimi dreamed of eating hot pot, with tripe and duck intestines, dipped in sesame sauce. When I woke up, I found myself chewing my fingers."

Liu Yifei was behind her, wearing a dark gray sweatshirt and black sweatpants, her ponytail neatly tied. She glanced at Yang Mimi, ignored her, and walked straight to the water tank, filled her cup with water, and went to wash her face.

Last to appear were Keiko Kitagawa and Mina.

Keiko Kitagawa was still wearing the same white shirt and gray capri pants as last night, but her hair was tied up with a strip of cloth, making her look much neater.

Mina changed into a black sports vest that Liu Yifei had lent her, but she still wore the same ripped denim shorts.

The vest was clearly too small, stretched taut by her figure, the fabric at the chest creating a striking curve. Her hips swayed slightly as she walked, a small movement, but each step possessed a natural rhythm. A dancer's body control, even in their gait, is unlike anyone else's.

The seven people met in the open space in front of the wooden house.

Qin Chuan cleared his throat: "Check-in."

Everyone is already familiar with this process.

Lin Shishi was the first to step forward. She stood on tiptoe, placed her hands on Qin Chuan's shoulders, and gently pressed her lips to his. After a few tender seconds, she stepped back and lowered her head.

"Alright, Brother Chuan."

[Congratulations, you have obtained a special ingredient. Character Skill: Pupil Technique LV2 (Intermediate Scanning Ability, Beginner Heaven-Burning Ability) (Proficiency +1, Current Proficiency: 14/50)]

Fan Yubing was the second. She stepped forward, hooked one arm around Qin Chuan's neck, and pressed her lips to his. The kiss was forceful, tinged with impatience; her tongue barely touched his before she released him. After the kiss, she pushed Qin Chuan away and turned to leave.

[Proficiency +1, Current Proficiency: 15/50]

Liu Yifei is third. Same as always, quick and decisive.

[Proficiency +1, Current Proficiency: 16/50]

Yang Mimi was the fourth. She took three deep breaths, then gritted her teeth and leaned in, pressing her lips together with a "pop." Throughout the entire process, she frowned, as if she were taking medicine. After the kiss, she covered her face and took two steps back.

"Oh no, twice a day, my lips are almost worn raw."

[Proficiency +1, Current Proficiency: 17/50]

Keiko Kitagawa is the fifth.

She walked up to Qin Chuan, tilted her head slightly, and let her hands hang naturally at her sides. Then she stood on tiptoe and pressed her lips to his.

Keiko Kitagawa's kisses were unlike any other. They weren't as careful as Lin Shishi's, as violent as Fan Yubing's, as perfunctory as Liu Yifei's, or as clumsy as Yang Mimi's.

Her lips touched mine lightly, but lingered longer than others, for about four or five seconds. In the middle, her lips parted slightly, carrying a hint of initiative, before slowly withdrawing.

"Brother Chuan, we're done." Kitagawa Keiko's voice was calm, and she even had a slight smile on her face.

Finally, it's Mina.

Mina stood there, her hands in her shorts pockets, looking reluctant.

Keiko Kitagawa glanced at her.

Mina pursed her lips, pulled her hand out of her pocket, and walked up to Qin Chuan.

"Come on," Mina said, then closed her eyes.

Qin Chuan didn't care; he would do it himself.

After six people clocked in, their proficiency level increased from 13 to 19. The efficiency was much faster at six o'clock each time.

Qin Chuan did the math in his head. Checking in twice a day, morning and evening, would give him 12 points of proficiency per day. 50 minus 19 equals 31; in three more days, his pupil technique would reach LV3.

Qin Chuan went through these numbers in his mind and then began to arrange today's tasks.

"Here's the arrangement for today," Qin Chuan said, looking at the six women. "Lin Shishi will be in charge of teaching everyone how to knit; we have enough yarn collected yesterday. Sister Fan isn't feeling well, so she'll rest at the camp and learn to knit while she's at it. Yang Mimi will be in charge of lunch and salt drying. Liu Yifei, go check if there are any new fruit resources nearby."

Yang Mimi: "Received!"

Liu Yifei nodded and glanced at Mina. Mina shrugged, indicating that she had no objection.

"Keiko Kitagawa and I are going to the cave," Qin Chuan continued. "There might be coal and ironware in that cave. If that's true, we can make pottery."

Lin Shishi's eyes lit up: "Coal? That's great! With coal, we can get so many things done."

Fan Yubing leaned against the door frame and said, "Then you should hurry back and not stay outside for too long."

Qin Chuan hummed in agreement.

"But before I leave, I'll go to the rubber plantation to collect the rubber that was tapped yesterday."

Qin Chuan walked alone towards the forest. His pupil technique was on low power, scanning within a 300-meter range, and there were no abnormalities. After walking for about ten minutes, he arrived at the rubber tree grove.

Yesterday he cut drainage channels in the trunks of several trees and placed coconut shell adhesive underneath.

Overnight, a considerable amount of milky white, viscous liquid had accumulated inside those coconut shells.

Qin Chuan inspected them one by one, collecting a total of about five kilograms of raw rubber.

He packed the raw rubber into a large banana leaf, wrapped it up, and carried it back home.

When they returned to the camp, Lin Shishi was already in the yard teaching everyone how to knit. Several women sat together, each holding a strand of yarn, learning to tie knots by following Lin Shishi's movements.

Mina was flustered and clumsy, and the yarn in her hands became a tangled mess.

"Shishi, teach me again, how do you tie this knot?"

Lin Shishi patiently demonstrated it once.

Fan Yubing sat beside her, her fingers deftly weaving the yarn, and she had already tied several respectable knots. The yoga teacher's finger dexterity was truly exceptional.

Qin Chuan placed the rubber in the corner of the yard and said to Lin Shishi, "Leave this rubber for now, I'll deal with it when I get back."

Lin Shishi looked up at him and said, "Okay, Brother Chuan, be careful."

Qin Chuan turned to Kitagawa Keiko and said, "Let's go."

Kitagawa Keiko put down the yarn in her hand, stood up, and patted the bits of grass off her pants.

"Okay, let's go."
