Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

A few minutes later, Yang Mimi brought over two bowls of noodles in a ceramic bowl.

The noodles soaked in a thick, white venison bone broth, topped with a few truffle mushrooms and tiny bits of egg. Steaming hot, the aroma instantly filled the cave.

Liu Yan took the bowl and looked down at it.

This noodle dish is special; it has meat, soup, egg, and mushrooms.

Is this something made on a deserted island?

Liu Yan picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of noodles, and put it in her mouth.

After chewing twice, Liu Yan stopped.

The noodles were chewy and smooth, with a rich wheat flavor. The venison bone broth was so delicious it made your tongue tingle. The truffle mushrooms' intense mushroom flavor exploded in your mouth.

Liu Yan sat there blankly, chewing noodles, when suddenly tears fell from her eyes.

She didn't know why she was crying.

After about three days without food, and feeling desperate from hunger, I suddenly ate a bowl of hot soup noodles, and my mental defenses collapsed instantly.

Yang Mimi handed her a clean leaf and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. There's plenty to eat. If you're still hungry, I'll cook you more."

Liu Yan wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and smiled sheepishly.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. I haven't had anything hot in so long."

"I understand, I understand." Yang Mimi patted her shoulder.

Dilina ate even slower, chewing each bite of noodles for a long time before swallowing. But from her expression, it was clear that this bowl of noodles had just as much of an impact on her as it did on Liu Yan.

Lin Shishi stayed by their side the whole time, controlling the amount of food the two of them ate.

"Don't eat too much at once. Your stomach has been empty for three days, and stuffing too much food in at once will cause problems. Wait half an hour before eating your second bowl."

It must be said that with nurse Lin Shishi in the team, everyone's safety and health are guaranteed.

Dilina put the bowl down, having only eaten half of the noodles.

"Sip it slowly, take your time."

After finishing a bowl of noodles, Liu Yan's energy and spirits improved significantly. Her face regained some color, and her eyes were no longer as unfocused as before.

She held the empty bowl and looked around the cave.

Several women sat around the campfire: Yang Mimi, Lin Shishi, Fan Yubing, Liu Yifei, Kitagawa Keiko, and Mina. Including Qin Chuan, there were seven people in total.

Including her and Dilina, there are nine people.

Liu Yan noticed that everyone was dressed differently. Some wore wool vests, some wore T-shirts, and some were draped in thin, grayish-white cotton blankets. The kitchen was fully equipped with ceramic bowls, iron pots, wooden tables, and wooden chairs. Several kinds of ingredients she couldn't name were also laid out on the stove.

The life these people lived on the deserted island was infinitely better than the life she and Dilina lived on.

Liu Yan thought about what she and Dilina had experienced over the past ten days. They had endured hunger and cold in the cave on the east side, drinking rainwater, eating raw crabs, and even picking up bones from the garbage heap to gnaw on.

Look at this group of people, eating noodles, drinking milk, roasting chicken legs, staying in wooden cabins and soaking in hot springs.

The difference is too big.

Liu Yan's gaze finally landed on Qin Chuan.

The man sat on a log beside the campfire, one leg stretched out and the other bent. He had changed his clothes, but his hair was still wet, with a few stray strands falling across his forehead. The firelight illuminated his profile, highlighting the sharp lines of his jaw.

He could start a fire with his eyes, carry two people at the speed of a car, and support seven women.

Liu Yan silently gave herself a judgment: This man is not simple.

It's not just a matter of physical fitness. Look at the layout and management of this camp—it's well-organized, everyone has their own role, supplies are plentiful, and life is orderly. What's needed behind this is intelligence and organizational skills.

Liu Yan began to feel curious about Qin Chuan.

At this moment, Yang Mimi brought over two more bowls of fresh milk.

"Come on, try this. It's fresh milk from an alien cow. It's incredibly delicious."

Liu Yan took the bowl and took a sip.

It has a rich milky aroma with a subtle natural sweetness, and a smooth and creamy texture.

Liu Yan's eyes lit up immediately.

"This milk is so delicious! How did you find the cows, and most importantly, how did you tame them?"

"This is all thanks to our Brother Chuan; he can communicate with spirits," Yang Mimi said proudly, puffing out her chest.

Liu Yan glanced at Qin Chuan again.

Psychic communication? What do these terms actually mean?

Dilina also took a sip of milk. She drank it slowly, taking small sips. After finishing, the expression on her face relaxed considerably, and the corners of her mouth even curled up slightly.

Half an hour later, the two of them each ate their second bowl of noodles. This time, they ate much more steadily than the first bowl; there was no crying or significant emotional fluctuation.

Liu Yan put down her bowl and wiped her mouth.

"Qin Chuan, no, Brother Chuan. Can you tell us what's going on with you? What was that ability that allowed you to start fires with your eyes? And what was that ability that allowed you to carry us so fast? How did you guys manage to survive like this on a deserted island?"

The cave was quiet for a second or two.

All eyes turned to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan leaned against the wooden stake, thinking about how to start the conversation.

"Let's start by introducing ourselves." He looked at Liu Yan and Dilina. "Tell me about your situations first, and then I'll introduce our team to you."

Liu Yan nodded and organized her thoughts.

"My name is Liu Yan, and I'm an undergraduate student at the School of Mechanical Engineering, specializing in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering."

She pointed to Dilina next to her.

"Her name is Dilina, from the Cyber ​​Aerospace Academy, specializing in rockets and spacecraft. We're from the same university, just different majors. This trip on the Century Cruise was a scientific expedition organized by the school, but an accident happened, leaving us stranded here."

After Liu Yan finished speaking, she glanced at Dilina.

Dilina leaned against the cotton quilt, looking much better than before. She nodded slightly, as if confirming Liu Yan's words.

Qin Chuan was secretly shocked upon hearing this: What? Cyber ​​Academy? That's a top-tier university on Earth. And one is in mechanical engineering, the other in aerospace engineering?

These two people might be very useful in the future.

"Yifei, could you tell us about our situation here?"

Liu Yifei's long hair cascaded over her shoulders, the firelight softly illuminating her fair face. She stood up and began her introduction in a calm tone.

"My name is Liu Yifei, and I'm a graduate student in biology. This is Yang Mimi, a food blogger."

Yang Mimi waved with a grin: "Hi!"

Then, the others introduced themselves.

Finally, Fan Yubing pointed at Qin Chuan and said, "This is our male lead, Brother Chuan. He's outstanding; he obtained a 'Many Children, Many Blessings' system. He's exceptionally capable, diligent, and works tirelessly day and night."

"puff."

Yang Mimi was the first to burst out laughing. She quickly covered her mouth, but her shoulders were still shaking.

Liu Yifei's eyes crinkled slightly, but she held back her laughter.

Qin Chuan rolled his eyes inwardly.

Only those present could discern the hidden meaning in Fan Yubing's words.

Before Liu Yan and Dilina could understand the implied meaning, they both turned to look at Qin Chuan.

"The 'Many Children, Many Blessings' System?" Liu Yan asked. "What is that?"

Fan Yubing stood up straight, crossed her arms, and looked very serious.

"It's nothing much. Basically, a kiss makes you stronger, a hug lets you burrow underground, and having a child lets you take off from the spot."

Liu Yan: "What?"

Dilina: "Huh?"

Both of them opened their mouths wide at the same time.

Liu Yan's mind went blank for a moment. She turned to look at Qin Chuan, then at Fan Yubing, and then at the others.

Everyone else looked calm.

Are you kidding me?

"This...this..." Liu Yan didn't know what to say.

Dilina was the first to react.

"No wonder," she said weakly. "He was able to carry both of us on his back so fast. And that ability to start fires with his eyes—was that a power given to him by this system?"

Qin Chuan nodded: "That's roughly the idea. I'll tell you the specific details later. For now, you only need to know one thing: I have indeed gained a special power, and this power is constantly growing stronger. If you're willing to stay today, you'll be our companions from now on, living together and looking after each other."

"Stay! Of course I'll stay!" Liu Yan replied without hesitation.

What a joke. There was a storm outside, and she and Dilina almost starved to death.

There's food, drink, and a place to stay here, plus a super-capable man protecting you. Only a fool wouldn't stay with these conditions.

Dilina nodded, "Thank you, Brother Chuan, thank you everyone for taking us in."

Lin Shishi smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. We're all survivors. It's safer to be together."

Yang Mimi patted her chest and said, "Don't worry about food from now on. With me here and Brother Chuan here, I guarantee you won't go hungry."

Keiko Kitagawa nodded vigorously beside her, "Yes, yes, yes, the food here is amazing! Noodles, bread, chicken legs, hamburgers, milk, lychees, they have everything!"

As Liu Yan listened to the names of these ingredients, she felt like she was dreaming.

Noodles, bread, chicken legs, hamburgers?

How could these things be on a deserted island?

"You're lying to me, aren't you?" Liu Yan blurted out.

"I'm not lying to you." Liu Yifei's tone was calm. "This island has many otherworldly plants that grow fruits similar to those found on Earth. Noodle trees grow noodles, bread trees grow bread, and chicken leg trees grow chicken legs. It sounds absurd, but it's all true. You'll see for yourself later."

Liu Yan: "..."

She felt that her worldview had collapsed countless times tonight, but it seemed that every time it collapsed, it could collapse again.

Afterwards, everyone finished their dinner.

Lin Shishi suddenly said, "Brother Chuan, it's time to clock in."
