Chapter 3: Fresh Water

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With controversy comes popularity. The official livestream was filled with comments, mocking one other.

The production team clearly did not expect him to stir up such a heated discussion. They hurriedly added a separate livestream to specially stream his solo shots.

As soon as the news came out, David’s livestream was flooded with people. The number of viewers instantly reached 10,000.

“David, I really like you so much. I can see the confidence towards life in you.”

“I’m a patient with depression. I wanted to see how you guys struggled to survive, but I didn’t expect to see you. I have actually gained a little passion for life.”

“Cute brother, I am your fan. I will always pay attention to you.”

The livestream instantly became very lively, but David was unaware of all of this.

He ate a slice of sashimi and felt much better.

“Host has received Culinary Skill. Current level: LV 1.”

“Host replenishes energy. Physical fitness+1.”

David heard these words and suddenly felt that he had gained some strength in his fists. His body was also not as weak as it had been.

However, this body’s foundation was too poor. It was not that easy to improve it.

In order to strengthen his body as quickly as possible, David went to look for some elastic and thin wooden sticks.

He wrapped the vines around them and tied the fruits onto them.

He made a total of five sticks and placed them neatly on the coast.

At the same time, he returned to his temporary lodging and tidied up the unused vines.

Then, he started weaving them swiftly.

Tying the vines together and intertwining them with one other.

“Weaving Skill+1.”

In the livestream, the audience saw this scene very clearly.

His long fingers kept turning, and the stiff vines were obedient in his hands. Every step went very smoothly.

“I think I saw my grandfather weaving a basket.”

“Me too.”

“He knows so much. He even knows how to do weaving.”

“Did you forget that hammock?”

“What are you making up this time?”

“It looks like something used for collection.”

David did not stop. Ten minutes later a small and exquisite fish basket appeared before the audience.

“Is he making preparations to store food?”

“With this item, he won’t have to worry about having no storage for the fish he catches in the future.”

“He’s so smart. I love him.”

‘I am a beauty’ tipped a Yacht.

The Yacht was worth $1,000, and the organizers would split it 50-50 with the contestants.

David could get $500 from this.

Only, he did not know it yet.

‘the one who grew up eating ice cream’ tipped a Grenade.

Many people felt especially excited and couldn’t help but tip him.

All David knew was that this island was dangerous. He had to get back alive.

After all, no one wanted to disappear mysteriously.

According to the information he had learned, the majority of the past contestants in the past had died halfway.

As they had signed the liability waiver, their family members had no chance of winning even if they wanted to dispute things.

His uncle had sent him to this show all for the sake of raking in a sum. As for his life and death, he did not care at all.

Since someone dared to sell him, he would not let him off for this so easily!

David made two fish baskets and went back to the fishing spot.

Sitting by the sea and enjoying the sea breeze, he felt a peacefulness he had never experienced before.

Ever since he graduated from university, he had been busy every day and rarely had time to rest.

Today was the first time he was sitting on the beach, completely relaxed.

However, he was soon unable to rest. The fish had taken the bait.

Within an hour he had stored seven fish.

The fish basket was placed in the sea and tied to a tree with a rope. He would get the fish whenever he wanted to eat some.

He ate two more slices of raw fish.

“Physical fitness+1.”

“Cooking skills+1.”

The number of viewers in the livestream had increased from the initial 10,000 to the current 30,000.

“I just went to watch the main livestream. There are currently more than 90 people who have yet to find a place to stay.”

“Seriously? It’s that bad?”

“Do you think they are all like him, people blessed by God?”

“You’re still boasting at a time like this. I don’t believe that this wasn’t an intentional play by the organizers.”

“What is there to trust about a person using cheats?”

“The organizers must have been afraid that there would be too little traffic this time and deliberately used this move.”

“The people in front are too sour. You can’t stand to see others doing well, can you? You can’t stand to see others being impressive, right?”

The livestream that was originally fine broke into arguments again.

But David didn’t know any of that.

After finishing the raw fish, he wiped his mouth and muttered to himself, “I’m a little thirsty.”

The raw fish in the sea came with sea salt. Coupled with the heat on the island, and doing so work, it had consumed a lot of water from his body.

At this moment, he felt extremely thirsty and wanted to find water to drink.

“I heard him talking. His voice is so low and husky.”

“I heard him too. I like his voice.”

“I don’t just like his voice, I also like his brains.”

In the main livestream, the cameras had already shifted to someone else.

Ally saw the others sweat like crazy for the sake of building their houses.

Time passed by slowly and it was getting dark.

Ally grew more anxious. “Why isn’t he looking for food? It’s getting dark.”

Wade stared at the screen. “He’s worried that there’s going to be a rainstorm tonight. The lodging is the most important thing right now. With lodging, he at least won’t fall ill.”

“But what about the food?” Ally saw David’s actions and then looked at the others. She felt that they were too slow.

“There’s nothing wrong with not eating a meal,” Wade said proudly. He had once made a record of not eating for two days.

“It’s really difficult to survive in the wilderness.” Ally’s expression was tense.

The scene cut back to the others. Some of them had not even found their lodging yet.

They kept picking up things in the forest, taking a little of everything, feeling that they could use them in the future.

When Wade saw this, he shook his head. “I don’t suggest that we keep picking things up as soon as we get on the island. It’s a waste of time and stamina. We should have a clear goal. Only actions that help us reach the goal are effective actions.”

Ally nodded in agreement. “Mr. Wade’s words make a lot of sense. THey collected so many things, but has not succeeded in any of the goals. Instead, they are wasting time.”

The camera panned over everyone. As time passed, it was David’s turn again.

David was standing beside a small pond. The water was not very deep and there were many weeds growing inside.

Ally’s eyes instantly lit up. “He found fresh water so quickly and solved another of his biggest problems.”

Wade frowned. If he didn’t know that this project was all real, he would really be doubting whether the organizer had deliberately gone easy on him.

Wade glanced at the screen and his eyes suddenly widened. “What’s that at his upper right corner!”
