Start daily card draw from Genshin Impact

Trying hard to mobilize his few brain cells, Yu Qi tried hard to recall the time-travel novels and wilderness survival videos he had read before, trying to find knowledge on how to deal with his own situation.

Exploring the woods?

Looking up at the lush primitive jungle around him, Yu Qi subconsciously thought of the strange creatures he had seen before. He couldn't help but shudder and instantly dismissed the idea.

If he happened to encounter those creatures during his exploration, he, a useless guy who didn't know anything about farming and was lazy, would have no confidence in escaping from those monsters that looked skinny and small but were actually strong and swift.

Build a shelter?

He raised his head and looked around, looking at the tall and strong trees around him, and then looked at his own slender arms. Yu Qi shook his head with self-awareness and chose to give up!

Or to look for food?

But that's just like exploring the jungle, it's easy to run into danger...

"Snapped!"

A heavy slap hit his face, and a blood-red palm print instantly appeared on Yu Qi's fair face. The stinging pain swept through his mind, making him suddenly perk up.

"Yu Qi, you piece of shit, cheer up! It's fine if you're just living on Earth and waiting to die, but now that you've traveled through time, you're still so timid. If you keep going like this, you might as well just stay here and wait to die!"

After angrily cursing himself for being so useless, Yu Qi raised his hand and touched his cheek. A slight stinging pain came over him, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He regretted having been so rough with his attack just now.

Fortunately, after slapping himself hard, he finally calmed down, came back to his senses from frustration and confusion, and really started to think seriously about what he should do next.

"First of all, there are many things I need to do, including water, food, shelter, and finding out the dangers around me. It's getting late, and I have to find a way to make a fire. These are necessary for me to survive in this different world."

As for water, there is a river bend in front of us, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

"But be careful. If you keep getting water here, you may run into those creatures, which is very dangerous."

But fortunately, judging from the lushness of this jungle, there should be no shortage of other water sources.

"As for the shelter, it's a bit too late. Besides, if we build a house hastily before we know the dangers around us, it will easily attract the attention of wild beasts and possible monsters. Let's find a sheltered mountain rock for two days. It would be even better if we can find a cave!"

After standing up and carefully patrolling the jungle, Yu Qi, who was lucky, quickly found an ideal shelter. It was backed by a huge rock, the terrain was quite high, and there was a sunken place that was big enough for a person to lie down safely. It was simply a natural shelter.

He just picked some leaves and shrubs to spread the floor. Yu Qi looked at the freshly made green floor mat. As it was his first time doing it, he couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"Hmm, it seems I have a talent for surviving in the wild... gu~"

Before he could finish his words, a sudden rumbling sound in his stomach interrupted Yu Qi's pride. An unbearable feeling of hunger surged up, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his stomach.

"Ugh, I'm so hungry!"

At noon, he only ate a small bowl of rice because of the time travel. In addition to the various things he encountered in the afternoon and the busy time just now, Yu Qi no longer had a grain of rice in his stomach. The stomach acid secreted due to hunger made his stomach feel an inexplicable burning pain, and a feeling of wanting to vomit came over him.

After dry heaving a mouthful of sour water, Yu Qi knew that this was due to his irregular diet in the past. Now it was just acid reflux, and if he waited a little longer it would be labor pains. He did not dare to hesitate and decisively began to look for food to fill his stomach along the river while it was still bright.

However, perhaps because he had exhausted all his luck in the previous search for shelter, Yu Qi walked along the river for a long time, taking deep steps and shallow steps, but he was unable to find anything edible. Instead, because he had to occasionally avoid passing wild beasts, he consumed a lot of physical strength and his stomach became increasingly hungry, and even began to feel a burning pain.

Although there were lively fish and shrimps in the water, as a landlubber he had no ability to go down to the river to catch them. There were also many mushrooms and wild fruits on the shore, but looking at the colorful appearance of those things, Yu Qi did not dare to test the poison on himself, so he could only endure the hunger and continue searching.

As the sky grew darker, Yu Qi still had nothing to show for it. Just when he thought he would have to spend his first night since traveling through time hungry.

"yaya~"

The familiar cry from afar instantly perked up the drowsy Yu Qi. He bent down almost instinctively and hid behind a towering rock.

After holding his breath and listening carefully for a moment, and confirming that the monsters' cries were not approaching this side, Yu Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Then he dared to carefully stick his head out from behind the rock and look in the direction where the sound came from.

With the help of the orange sunset, he saw from afar those short humanoid creatures standing in a grove, picking fruits from the treetops with skillful movements.

Not long after he stuck his head out to look over there, the creatures seemed to have collected the required number and walked to the other side in groups of three or four, holding the fruits.

Watching those creatures go away, Yu Qi carefully walked out from behind the rock, trotted into the woods, and looked at the fruits hanging on the branches of every tree in ecstasy.

Red, purple, orange, and yellow. Although he didn't recognize many of them, Yu Qi didn't care. He picked out some fruits that had traces of being eaten by birds and beasts, picked them, and stuffed them into his mouth.

however……

"Hmm, so sour~" He just stuffed a red fruit into his mouth. It had a crisp texture, but the taste was extremely sour, which made Yu Qi's face twisted. But before he could spit out the fruit in his mouth, the air in front of him suddenly turned black, and shook violently a few times like a screen with poor signal.

"This is..." Staring blankly at the familiar dark interface in front of him, Yu Qi was frightened and swallowed his saliva instinctively. As a result, he was choked by the sour juice in his mouth and started coughing violently.

"I, cough, cough, cough, fuck!" He swallowed hard, trying to dilute the sour and burning feeling in his throat. At this moment, Yu Qi suddenly saw a familiar little animal figure emerge in the lower right corner of the screen in front of him, and then began to run wildly.

Seeing this, Yu Qi reacted instantly, threw the uneaten fruit in his hand to the side, and looked at the panel in front of him with surprise: "Fuck, isn't this the login interface of fgo? Is this my cheat code? Hahaha, as expected, there is always a way out, I'm going to rise!"

A slightly suppressed laughter sounded in the woods. As if afraid of attracting the attention of the wild beasts, Yu Qi instinctively lowered his voice and looked expectantly at Fu Fu who was running on the screen.

Although he didn't know what the situation was in this world, no matter what, if he could summon a heroic spirit of even the lowest star, his safety would definitely be guaranteed!

If everything goes smoothly and Yu Qi's spiritual base warehouse is also brought along, then...

"No, don't think too much. As long as I can summon a heroic spirit, I'll be satisfied!"

Shaking his head to interrupt the random thoughts in his head, Yu Qi looked at the panel that was becoming brighter. His expression gradually calmed down, but the expectation in his eyes became more and more intense.

until……

"The capture of the benchmark material is complete, the friendship point card pool has been unlocked, and the current card pool is: food."

"??"

Chapter 2 Yu Qi and the Girl Who Suddenly Appeared

"...Ah?!" With his eyes wide open, Yu Qi looked at the conversation appearing on the screen in confusion, somewhat unable to understand the situation.

"Benchmark materials? Food card pool? Is there such a setting in FGO?"

As a hardcore Chaldea master with seven years of combat experience, Yu Qi was very sure that he had never heard of similar words in the game, let alone such an outrageous thing as the friendship point card pool becoming a food card pool.

"So, the answer is very obvious!" Yu Qi was not stupid, so he naturally deduced the conclusion easily.

"My system? Well, the cheat code is probably based on the card drawing settings of FGO. To trigger the card pool, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to touch the base materials myself. I just don't know whether the criterion for this 'contact' is to touch or to eat it."

Glancing at the bitten fruit on the ground, Yu Qi narrowed his eyes and tried to pick a few more fruits. After finding no changes, he shifted his gaze to the screen in front of him.

'Although there is a high probability that I won't be able to draw a Heroic Spirit, but if you think about it from another perspective, I probably won't have to worry about food in the future. If I have the opportunity to become a system dealer, I might be able to become a big businessman in this different world!

It seems not bad to think this way! '

As if to comfort himself, Yu Qi tried to concentrate and lightly touch the words in front of him with his mind as described in the novel. The light and shadow changed, and the dialog box on the panel slowly disappeared, replaced by a card drawing interface that Yu Qi was very familiar with but also felt unfamiliar.

The layout is almost the same as the fgo friendship pool, except that the patterns on the card pool have changed from heroes and concept costumes to fruits, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, pots, pans, and bowls. There is no difference.

At the same time when Yu Qi saw this interface, an unfamiliar message suddenly appeared in his mind, making his thinking a little confused. It took him a while to slowly sort out the information in his head, and then his brows instantly frowned.

Just like the friendship pool in fgo, this card pool also requires friendship points to draw, 2000 friendship points for a ten-draw, but the rewards are changed from heroic spirits, concept costumes, and fire-starting things to various ingredients, seasonings, kitchen utensils, and food-related abilities, presented in the form of cards.

At the same time, the full break setting in fgo is also retained. The breakthrough conditions of the card are the same as those of the concept costume. Each time the card is broken through, the effect will be improved to a certain extent. If it is fully broken, it will trigger an additional substantial improvement.

In short, this is most likely the setting, and it is not difficult to understand for a hardcore player like Yu Qi.

What really made him frown was...

"Wait a minute, where do I get friendship points?"

Unable to help but poke around the card pool interface up and down, and after confirming again and again that no information was missed, Yu Qi had to sadly confirm that with this broken system, the way to obtain friendship points was most likely the same as in the game!

"Fuck! In the game, I can sign in and have friends help me fight. It's easy to get friendship points. The worst that can happen is that I can just go online and buy a few million. But in real life, let alone friends, I don't even have a level. There's only a card pool. How can I get friendship points?!"

"By fighting? You can't possibly want me, a weak guy, to fight those monsters that are obviously not easy to deal with, right?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Without friendship points, what use would I have for your crappy card pool?!

Complaining indignantly, Yu Qi stared at the card pool in front of him, the words he wanted to curse constantly lingering on his lips.

However, no matter how angry he was, Yu Qi had no way to change anything at the moment. He could only helplessly accept the reality that his golden finger was a rubbish and defective product.

"Forget it~" He sighed and shook his head. Looking at the card pool, Yu Qi was somewhat relieved and thought: "At least the setting of free ten draws in the friendship point card pool once a day has been retained. This way, it is not hopeless!"

Although such words sounded a bit sad, Yu Qi did not think there was anything inappropriate about them. After all, in just a few minutes, this broken system had repeatedly refreshed the lower limit of his understanding of the golden finger. Now all he had to say was "it's fine as long as it works", so what else could he ask for?

Thinking of this, Yu Qi anxiously pressed the card drawing button on the card pool with his mind, because he was almost starving.

"Buzz~" Along with the familiar sound of electric current, a gorgeous magic circle animation unfolded before his eyes, and soon, ten cards were neatly arranged on the panel.

“一星卡片·米粥*3、一星卡片·蜜橘*1、一星卡片·白鲢*1、二星卡片·钢之鳞*1、二星卡片·龙息水*2、二星卡片·强韧的灵魂*1、三星卡片·食气*1”

Ten cards were quietly arranged on the panel, flashing white light, making Yu Qi's face look pale.

"That's too much! The friendship pool is fine, but what's the point of a three-star guarantee? I don't have to be so demanding when I draw from the friendship pool in fgo, okay?!" Yu Qi complained, but his expression was exceptionally calm.

After all, I have already prepared myself mentally, so what does it matter if it gets worse?

Thinking of this, he opened the cards one by one and checked their information.

"One-star card: Rice porridge: It is cooked for three hours by a senior chef with decades of cooking experience. It has a taste that makes people feel happy, and eating it can slowly restore energy."

"Hmm?" Yu Qi's brows gradually furrowed as he looked at the description of the white porridge and vaguely sensed something unusual.

After hesitating for a moment, he clicked on one of the cards and chose to use it. The next moment, a huge metal barrel appeared in front of him out of thin air. Under the silver-white lid, a rich fragrance drifted out through the gaps and spread throughout the forest in an instant.

Yu Qi, who hadn't noticed this, was looking at the huge iron barrel in front of him in surprise. Especially when he saw the familiar green bowl on the barrel lid, his mouth twitched suddenly: "Are you sure... this thing is not the big pot rice made in the cafeteria?"

Decades of cooking experience... and that includes experience in making big pot meals, which is really outrageous.

Of course, despite all his complaints, Yu Qi didn't actually look down on this rice porridge. In fact, just by standing here and smelling the aroma, his physical strength that had been exhausted by the previous trek had gradually begun to recover, and his tired spirit was also relieved a lot.

Yu Qi didn't know if it was a psychological effect or if the effect of the rice porridge was really that strong. He was so hungry that he picked up the small bowl and opened the lid of the bucket without saying a word. An even stronger fragrance exploded in the woods like a bomb and drifted farther away with the night wind.

The steaming hot hit his cheeks, making Yu Qi swallow his saliva involuntarily. He impatiently scooped out a bowl and drank it in one gulp.

The warm fragrance slid from the mouth into the throat, soft and delicate, and the hot warmth went down the throat into the stomach, and finally spread to the whole body, making the originally exhausted Yu Qi couldn't help but let out a long breath, an unconcealable sense of satisfaction surged on his face, with a smile of happiness and attachment.

It was as if I had returned to my hometown which I had not seen for a long time. A vague face that had never appeared in my memory gradually emerged from the bottom of my heart. With the same soft and gentle tone as before, he looked at Yu Qi with concern and asked about his recent situation.

Her nagging words could not hide the worry in her eyes, and at the same time, she had a look of pride and satisfaction. She led him home and handed him a bowl of rice porridge that had already been cooked until soft. It was fragrant and warm, and every mouthful was so satisfying.

Just like this time, just like that time...

"Hmm~" A cool feeling slid down his face, and Yu Qi came back to his senses from his trance, holding the empty bowl in his hand. There was a trace of nostalgia in his brown eyes that lasted for a long time.

"This porridge..." Looking at the white porridge in front of him with a slightly complicated look, Yu Qi suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and looked at the white porridge with a hint of surprise.

“This porridge…”

"Wow, what a delicious porridge! Did you make this? Can I have a taste?"

The sudden sound startled Yu Qi. He staggered back two steps until he leaned against a tree trunk. Only then did he calm down a little. He covered his pounding heart and looked up at the girl who had appeared in front of him at some point.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, her blue hair had been braided into pigtails and then tied into double buns on her head. She wore a matte black vest and shorts, and a bright yellow and red jacket on the outside. Her white thighs were exposed to the air, which was extremely dazzling, making Yu Qi unable to take his eyes away.

There were ripples in her golden eyes as she stared at the porridge in the iron bucket in front of her. Curiosity and yearning gradually filled her eyes. At her feet, a creature that seemed particularly similar to her in color, like a red panda, was also looking up at the porridge bucket with a greedy look on its face.

“You, who are you?!” Yu Qi, who was almost frightened to the point of having a heart attack, gasped for breath. He glared at the girl fiercely and asked, “Do you know that scaring others can kill them?”

After being yelled at by Yu Qi, the girl who was staring at the porridge bucket with great interest suddenly reacted. Looking at Yu Qi, whose head was covered in cold sweat, an apologetic look appeared on her face.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to."

Bowing and apologizing earnestly to Yu Qi, the girl explained: "I just suddenly smelled a good smell, and when I came over, you were drinking porridge. I thought you saw me, but I didn't expect you to drink the porridge so seriously. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to scare you."

"...Okay, okay, I forgive you!" Looking at the girl who kept apologizing, Yu Qi sighed. As a grown man, he was too lazy to argue with this little girl who was obviously not yet an adult. What she said was not wrong. He could only blame himself for being too immersed in the porridge.

Fortunately, it was a girl who came. If it was a monster, he would have been killed by the sneak attack. When he thought of this, Yu Qi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again.

He waved his hand and stood up straight. Just as he was about to speak, a "yaya" sound suddenly came from the woods in the distance. Yu Qi paused, suddenly turned his head to look at the girl, and asked, "You said just now that you ran here because you smelled the porridge?"

"Ah, yeah, what's wrong?!"

Obviously, she also heard the sound outside the woods, but the girl just glanced at it casually, and then her eyes were focused on the porridge bucket again: "Can you tell me how this pot of porridge is made? Obviously the method is very ordinary and the fragrance is not particularly strong, but it always gives people a good feeling when it smells, and I can't help but want to eat a few bites.

How do you cook this? Can you teach me?"

"..." Looking at the expectant girl in front of him speechlessly, Yu Qi pursed his lips, his expression a little strange: "Now is not the time to talk about this, right? Those monsters are coming soon, it's better for us to run first, right?"

"Huh? Monster?"

However, after hearing what Yu Qi said, the girl blinked in confusion, and then looked at Yu Qi with a strange expression: "The monsters you are talking about are those hillbillies? They are not hillbilly thugs, nor are they hillbilly kings. There are only two or three of them. Why should we run? Wait, you are not... afraid of the hillbillies, right?"

"Shouldn't we be afraid of that kind of monster?"

"..."

"..."

For a moment, both of them were silent. Yu Qi looked up and down at the girl in front of him. It was hard to imagine how a girl with such thin arms and legs could deal with those monsters called hillbillies. The girl also looked up and down at Yu Qi. She was a little suspicious in her heart. Was he deliberately making fun of her and venting some of the anger that she had just scared him with.
