Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

An hour later.

Their breathing finally calmed down.

Yang Mimi lay on the grass, her head tilted to one side, her long black hair spread out on the ground. Her face was flushed, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Her wool vest was pushed up above her chest, and she looked somewhat disheveled.

Qin Chuan propped himself up on his arms, slightly raised his body, and looked down at Yang Mimi.

Yang Mimi's eyes were half-open as she looked at the dome above her. The faint light from the luminous stone reflected in her pupils, flickering intermittently.

"Are you alright?" Qin Chuan asked.

Yang Mimi didn't speak. She turned over and buried her face in Qin Chuan's chest. After a long while, she mumbled a sentence.

"I'll add an extra chicken leg fruit to my cooking from now on."

Qin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Qin Chuan's mind.

[Obtained special ingredients. Character Skill: Pupil Technique LV2 (Intermediate Scanning Ability, Basic Heaven-Burning Aura) (Proficiency +2, Current Proficiency: 43/50)]

Qin Chuan was secretly delighted. He was 43.

"As expected, you reap what you sow," Qin Chuan thought to himself.

Yang Mimi lifted her head from Qin Chuan's chest and looked at him.

"Does the system offer rewards?"

"have."

"What reward?"

Qin Chuan thought for a moment. He still had a [Survival Technique] that he hadn't shown yet, but he wasn't in a hurry to do that. Yang Mimi was just asking tentatively and didn't seem to care.

"My eye technique has become even more powerful."

Yang Mimi's lips curled up slightly: "That's good, it's worth it."

The two of them straightened their clothes. When Yang Mimi sat up, her legs felt a little weak, and she swayed, but Qin Chuan supported her arm.

"Sit down for a while and rest."

Yang Mimi hummed in agreement and sat down on the grass, hugging her knees.

It was quiet all around. A gentle breeze blew through the flower field in the distance, and the petals swayed softly in the light. Aerosols drifted slowly overhead, their glow flickering.

Yang Mimi leaned against Qin Chuan, resting her head on his shoulder. The two of them sat there quietly.

After a while, Yang Mimi spoke.

"Brother Chuan, just let me know if you need anything in the future, and I won't refuse."

Qin Chuan turned his head and glanced at her.

Yang Mimi blushed, but her eyes were much more determined than before.

"I've figured it out. Your becoming stronger on this island is good for all of us. Before, I always felt embarrassed to kiss you and run away. But now..."

Yang Mimi bit her lip.

"I don't feel anything now. You're a good person, and you're really protecting us."

Qin Chuan didn't say anything, but reached out and put his arm around Yang Mimi's shoulder.

The two embraced and lay down on the soft grass.

Yang Mimi closed her eyes and quickly fell asleep. Qin Chuan also closed his eyes.

The temperature in the underground forest was cool. I had worked up a sweat from exercising, but the breeze dried it quickly. The grass felt soft and fluffy, much better than the hay in the campsite.

The two leaned against each other and fell asleep.

Qin Chuan was awakened by Yang Mimi's noise.

Yang Mimi rolled over, her arm slapping Qin Chuan's face. Qin Chuan opened his eyes and looked down. Yang Mimi was nestled in his arms, fast asleep, her mouth slightly open, her breathing even.

Qin Chuan gently moved her arm away and looked around.

The glowing stones in the underground forest dimmed slightly. Qin Chuan judged the time; it was probably around three or four in the morning. He had to hurry back and get to the camp before dawn, otherwise it wouldn't be good if the others discovered that both of them were missing.

Qin Chuan gently nudged Yang Mimi's shoulder.

"Honey, wake up, it's time to go back."

Yang Mimi mumbled an "Mmm" in her sleep, turned over, and continued sleeping.

Qin Chuan pushed it twice more.

Yang Mimi finally opened her eyes, rubbed the corners of her eyes, and looked around.

"Where is this... Oh, the underground forest."

Yang Mimi sat up and stretched. Her hair was a mess and her clothes were wrinkled.

"What time is it?"

"I don't know the exact time, but it should be around three or four in the morning."

Yang Mimi suddenly snapped out of her daze: "Hmm, no rush, it's still early. Before we leave, I want to... eat something."

"Do you still want to eat?"

Yang Mimi nodded: "Yes, not to eat wild fruit, but to eat you."

Qin Chuan didn't understand, but soon, Yang Mimi climbed on top of him and pressed her lips to his.

Yang Mimi was still enjoying herself immensely. The abundance of delicious food here was driving her dopamine levels up uncontrollably. She felt that in this magical place, she should do more of what she loved.

There was no other way; although the cooldown period hadn't ended, Qin Chuan couldn't bear to refuse.

.....

Half an hour later, the two walked up the passage. The light from the glowing stone flowed on the cave walls on both sides, illuminating their way.

After walking for about ten minutes, we returned to the hot spring pool.

Hot air rose from the water's surface, and white mist drifted in the dim light emanating from the cave walls.

Yang Mimi walked to the edge of the hot spring pool, squatted down, and washed her face with the hot spring water.

"That felt so good. I'll come here every day from now on."

"Let's go quickly."

Yang Mimi stood up and followed Qin Chuan out of the cave.

Outside the cave, it was still dark. The blue moon had already moved to the western horizon, its light much dimmer. The dense forest was pitch black; nothing could be seen.

"Come on up." Qin Chuan bent down.

Yang Mimi climbed onto Qin Chuan's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed her face against his shoulder.

With one hand carrying the package of ingredients and the other supporting Yang Mimi's thigh, Qin Chuan activated his pupil technique and ran away.

The dense forest rushed past on both sides. The night wind howled in, making Yang Mimi's hair flutter backward.

Yang Mimi was in a good mood. She lay on Qin Chuan's back, a smile playing on her lips, her mind still lingering on the flavors of the underground forest.

What will the noodles from the noodle tree taste like after cooking? Will the surface of a breadfruit become crispy if it's toasted? What if a chicken leg fruit is marinated before baking? Can the liquid from an egg fruit be used to make steamed eggs?

Yang Mimi already had a long list of cooking plans in her mind.

After running for less than ten minutes, the camp's wooden cabins came into view.

The campfire had gone out, leaving only a pile of dark red embers that were dimly glowing.

Qin Chuan slowed down, trying to make as little noise as possible. He tiptoed into the camp courtyard and put Yang Mimi down.

Yang Mimi's feet touched the sand. She bent over and said in a low voice, "Brother Chuan, put the fruit in the corner of the yard and cover it with leaves. I'll deal with it when it gets light."

"OK."

Qin Chuan placed the food package under the shade of a tree in the corner of the yard and covered it with a few large leaves.

Yang Mimi tiptoed toward the wooden house, and after taking two steps, she turned back to look at Qin Chuan.

"Brother Chuan."

"Um?"

You really mustn't tell anyone about what happened tonight.

"understood."

Yang Mimi grinned, then turned around and tiptoed into the wooden house.

Qin Chuan stood in the courtyard, watching Yang Mimi's figure disappear at the door of the wooden house, feeling very happy.

Yang Mimi opened her heart to Qin Chuan because of today's grand banquet.

[This is settled. She won't refuse if needed in the future.] Qin Chuan pondered.

With Lin Shishi and Kitagawa Keiko added, we already have three regular "experience packs." As for Fan Yubing, Liu Yifei, and Mina, we'll take our time.

Qin Chuan kept these thoughts to himself, stretched, and went into the wooden house.

.....

A few hours later, the horizon began to lighten with the first hint of dawn.

As dawn approached, the door of the wooden house creaked open.

Lin Shishi came out from inside. She was always the first one up in the camp every day.

Lin Shishi was wearing a newly knitted wool vest, and her hair was tied into a ponytail with a single strand of wool, revealing her slender and fair neck.

She went to the spring, started washing her face, and then, before everyone else got up, went for a walk on the beach to breathe in some fresh air.

.....

Before long, the sun climbed above the treetops.

One by one, the people in the camp woke up.

Fan Yubing was wearing a wool vest and shorts today. She stood at the door of the wooden house and stretched lazily.

"My period is finally over." As she said this, she bent backward in an exaggerated arc, showing just how solid her yoga foundation was.

Keiko Kitagawa was the third to come out. She squatted beside the bucket of water, washing her face. Water droplets clung to her face, making it appear even whiter.

Mina came out last. She was 170cm tall, with a small waist and a perky butt. When she walked, her chest swayed rhythmically, a natural dancer's gait.

Liu Yifei had been awake for a while and was rummaging through the rubber blocks in the corner of the yard, poking them with a stick.

When Yang Mimi came out of the wooden house, she yawned widely.

Qin Chuan glanced at Yang Mimi. Yang Mimi guiltily looked away and ran behind the stove to help Lin Shishi make breakfast.
