Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

Before Qin Chuan's excitement had subsided, he discovered even more fruit trees next to the chicken leg tree.

A short, stout tree with a rounded crown was laden with hemispherical fruits. The upper part of the fruit was golden yellow, the lower part was light brown, and there was a layer of green leaf-like structures in the middle.

Qin Chuan scanned with his pupil technique.

[Otherworldly Hamburger Tree. Level 5 Plant. The fruit's appearance and taste are similar to a Blue Star hamburger. The upper layer is a bread-like shell, the middle layer is vegetable-fiber leaves, and the lower layer is high-protein pulp.]

Qin Chuan's lips twitched. Hamburger Tree.

This underground forest is absolutely dreamlike.

Noodles, bread, chicken legs, hamburgers—all ready-made food.

Qin Chuan picked a hamburger sandwich, broke it open, and looked at it. The top "bread lid" was golden brown and fluffy, the middle "vegetable layer" was crisp and juicy, and the bottom "meat patty layer" was thick and chewy.

Qin Chuan took a bite.

"Um!"

The taste is undeniable. Although it lacks the salad dressing and cheese of a real burger from Blue Star, it has the basic texture and flavor profile.

[Consuming Level 5 Ingredient: Otherworldly Hamburger Fruit. First consumption grants +5 Strength, +3 Speed, +3 Defense, and +3 Health.]

The attribute has increased again.

Qin Chuan was already overwhelmed by these continuous surprises. He ate as he walked, picking and tasting each new ingredient he discovered.

The noodles from the noodle tree don't taste very good when eaten raw, but Qin Chuan still chewed a handful in order to activate the reward for his first time eating them.

[Consumable Level 2 Ingredient: Different Kinds of Noodles and Fruit Shreds. First consumption: Strength +2, Speed ​​+1, Health +1.]

It's not much, but it's better than nothing.

Qin Chuan wandered around the underground forest for a long time, tasting everything edible.

Besides the noodle tree, bread tree, chicken leg tree, and hamburger tree, Qin Chuan also discovered several other food-grade plants.

There is a low shrub that bears small red fruits, which are similar in shape to tomatoes from Blue Star, but smaller and rounder.

[Otherworldly Tomato Shrub. Level 2 Plant. Sweet and sour taste, rich in vitamins.]

Qin Chuan ate two; they were sweet and sour, and very refreshing.

There is another type of ground-growing mushroom, much larger than the glowing mushrooms we saw before, with a cap the size of a plate and a warm brown color.

[Otherworldly Truffle Mushroom. Level 4 Plant. Rich and delicious flavor. Can be eaten raw or cooked.]

Qin Chuan broke off a small piece and tasted it; it was so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue.

After eating his way through the food stalls, Qin Chuan's stomach was already quite full.

He opened the attribute panel and took a look.

Character Attributes: Strength 72; Speed ​​60; Defense 59; Health 68.

Compared to before entering the underground forest, all attributes have increased significantly.

Especially his strength, which is already 72.

The damage from Burning Heaven is double the power, so one Burning Heaven attack can now deal 144 damage. Before, it took two attacks to kill a deer with 100 health, but now one attack is enough to kill it instantly.

Qin Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, Qin Chuan's attention was drawn to a tree in the distance.

That tree was quite peculiar. The trunk wasn't tall, maybe three or four meters, but the branches stretched out horizontally a great distance. Some things were hanging from the branches—Qin Chuan approached and squinted to take a look.

Cloth? No, it's clothes.

Whole pieces of clothing hung on the branches, like clothes drying on a clothesline.

Qin Chuan walked over quickly.

Upon closer inspection, Qin Chuan was completely convinced.

The branches of this tree are indeed covered with all sorts of "clothes".

Some resembled shirts, complete with collar, cuffs, and placket, and were a light grayish-white color. Others were like T-shirts, simple pullover styles made of thin fabric. There were also some smaller items—Qin Chuan examined them carefully.

Qin Chuan's values ​​were shattered again and again.

He reached down and plucked a "T-shirt" from the branch, examining it closely. The fabric was made of plant fibers, soft to the touch, somewhat like a cotton-linen blend. The workmanship wasn't particularly refined, but it would definitely fit comfortably.

Qin Chuan scanned it with his pupil technique.

[Otherworldly Clothing Tree. Level 1 Plant. Various basic clothing items grow naturally on its branches. Made of high-density plant fibers, breathable, sweat-absorbent, and durable.]

Qin Chuan stood under the tree for a long time, with only one thought in his mind.

Who designed the plants on this island? How thoughtful!

Qin Chuan picked and chose among the clothes. There were several T-shirts of different sizes, and Qin Chuan picked one that looked like it fit him and put it on.

The old clothes he took off were dirty and torn. Qin Chuan glanced at them and threw them on the ground.

The new T-shirt is very comfortable to wear; the fabric is breathable and cool.

Qin Chuan picked a few more T-shirts and shirts in different sizes. There were both men's and women's styles—naturally grown on trees, available in both men's and women's sizes, so you could always find something suitable if you looked around.

"The girls will be thrilled to take these back with them."

Qin Chuan rolled up the clothes, wrapped them in leaves, and then stuffed them into the iron bucket.

After tidying up his things, Qin Chuan looked up and around.

The underground forest is vast, and he has only explored a small portion so far. There's no time to examine what lies deeper inside yet.

But Qin Chuan already had a preliminary judgment in his mind.

This underground forest is a natural treasure trove. It has everything: food, clothing, lighting, minerals. As long as we come here regularly to gather resources, the camp's supply problems will be largely solved.

Qin Chuan began to think about another matter.

Can these plants be transplanted?

If you bring the seeds or seedlings of the noodle tree, bread tree, and chicken leg tree back to the camp and plant them, and then use the survival skill to help them grow, you can harvest food right at the camp entrance without having to travel so far every time.

Qin Chuan squatted down and searched near the roots of the noodle tree.

Sure enough, several seeds were found next to the roots of a noodle tree. The seeds were about the size of a fingernail, oval-shaped, and had hard outer shells.

Qin Chuan carefully dug out the seed with a folding knife and wrapped it up with a clump of soil.

Then I went to the bread tree, chicken leg tree, hamburger tree and tomato bush and found the seeds there.

I found three to five of each kind, wrapped them in large leaves, and put them in an iron bucket.

Qin Chuan then walked to the clothes tree and found two saplings about the thickness of a finger near the roots. He dug them out, roots and all.

"When we have time later, we'll renovate this cave and turn it into a dwelling. Today, let's take these seeds back with us."

After collecting the seeds and seedlings, Qin Chuan took another stroll through the underground forest.

Some small animals were found near a cluster of mushrooms.

Besides the pink squirrel we saw earlier, there was another creature that looked like a rabbit, with short ears, big eyes, and light blue fur.

These light blue rabbits weren't afraid of people. When Qin Chuan approached, they just pricked up their ears and looked at him before continuing to nibble on the grass.

There's another small creature that looks like a gecko, lying on rocks basking in the light of glowing stones. Its body is transparent, allowing you to see its bones and organs, and it has a small glowing ball at the end of its tail.

Qin Chuan felt as if he had stepped into a fantasy world.

The ecosystem of this underground space is complete. It has plants, animals, water sources, and light sources, forming a completely self-contained system.

Qin Chuan finally found several white roots, each as thick as an arm, emerging from the soil next to a large rock.

Qin Chuan pulled one out; it was very heavy.

I scanned it with my pupil technique.

[Otherworldly Yam. Level 3 Plant. Edible. Extremely nutritious, with a soft and smooth texture.]

"You also have yams?"

Qin Chuan pulled out two more stalks and stuffed them, roots and all, into the iron bucket.

The iron bucket was already full. Clothes, seeds, glowstones, and yams—all useful items.
