Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 12 Simple Shelter
"Let's go and help too." After An Yifei put the hanging pot away, she followed Meng Chao and wanted to collect the cut bushes together.

"It's not going to rain, is it? We haven't prepared anything, not even lunch." Cai Fankun frowned and looked up at the sky.

No one paid any attention to him, and Lee Ji-eun followed Meng Chao and An Yifei and started collecting the shrubs.

"It's really raining. Don't open the road. Let's build shelter quickly." Cai Fankun felt the rain drops on his face and shouted to Ma Dongxi.

Ma Dongxi stopped what he was doing and started looking around for suitable materials.

Soon he saw some small trees with branches that were suitable for pitching tents.

After cutting two sticks with branches, Ma Dongxi said, "Here, move here."

As he spoke, Ma Dongxi cut off the branches of the small tree.

After cleaning both sticks, he sharpened the bottom and inserted them directly into the soil.

Finally, place a wooden stick of sufficient length on top as a crossbeam.

When Meng Chao came back with a bundle of shrubs, he started putting some branches on the beam, so that the branches and the wooden frame formed a slope, thus forming a simple shelter.

So, this Ma Dong-seok is experienced, or in other words, he came here with sufficient preparation.

An Yifei and Cai Fankun followed suit and put the branches they picked up upwards.

The rain was getting heavier, but everyone wore the hood of their windbreakers, which combined with the baseball caps they were already wearing, provided good protection from the rain.

With everyone mobilized, this simple shelter was quickly completed.

"Although it cannot block most of the rain, it can play a certain role. Thank you all for your hard work." Ma Dongseok squatted down in the shelter and took off the baseball cap on his head.

The brim of his hat was wet from the rain, and the sweat on his face mixed with the rain.

Everyone's situation was similar, and everyone took out towels from their waterproof waist bags to wipe themselves.

"I don't know how long this rain will last. I'm hungry." Cai Fankun said with a depressed look on his face as he pulled the weeds around him.

"The rain in places like this usually doesn't last long. It comes and goes quickly." Meng Chao held a piece of grass in his mouth and took out the tinder stored in his backpack.

"Where are the tools for drilling wood to make fire? It's just right for making a fire to cook cassava. Then, when the rain stops, we can continue on our journey." As he said this, Meng Chao took the engineer shovel stuck in the soil and prepared to dig a simple small earthen stove.

“Cassava?”

"You dug cassava?" Cai Fankun was surprised and quickly opened his waist bag and took out wood chips and sticks for making fire.

He knew that the wood chips and sticks were more important, so he put them in his waist bag.

He broke some of the stick, otherwise it would be too long to fit into his waist bag.

"Yes, Meng Chao discovered it. Later we dug some. It's enough for lunch. I also have a squirrel here." As she said that, An Yifei took out the cassava and squirrel from her pocket.

Cai Fankun was surprised and found it unbelievable.

He didn't expect that when Meng Chao went to find them, he would have such a gain.

"Take out the firewood tofu first, and then use the pot to collect some rainwater to boil water." Meng Chao said as he dug.

[Mining Proficiency +1]
Just as Meng Chao expected, proficiency can also be gained through digging.

At the same time, Li Zhien took action immediately after hearing Meng Chao's words. In order to clean it, she filled the hanging pot with rain water before refilling it with water. "Who wants to try to make fire by rubbing two sticks together?" Cai Fankun originally wanted to continue to show off the fire-making skill, but considering that his right palm had blisters, he gave up the opportunity to perform.

If you fail to ignite the fire successfully, you will end up looking like an idiot instead of being cool.

"I don't know how to do this, but I've seen that you can use a rope to make a fire bow, right?" An Yifei said very frankly.

"Yes, that would be much easier. I can provide the rope." Lee Ji-eun raised her hand and said, like a good student coming to school.

"Where did you get the rope?" Ma Dongxi asked curiously.

"A towel? Use a knife to cut off the edge of the towel, and you should be able to make a rope. If that doesn't work, clothes will work too. My T-shirt is a bit long, so you can cut off the bottom to make a rope."

After hearing Li Zhien's explanation, An Yifei immediately gave her a thumbs up, thinking that she was very quick-witted.

"Let me try. I'll get the fire bow and do it later when I'm free." Ma Dongxi stretched out his hand to Cai Fankun.

This is an opportunity to show off, he wants An Yifei and Li Zhien to look at him with admiration.

Cai Fankun thought that the rough guy in front of him was definitely not capable of such delicate work as drilling wood to make fire, and thought that this was an opportunity for the other party to embarrass himself, so he generously handed the tools to Ma Dongxi.

After Ma Dongxi got the tools, he started to make fire by drilling wood.

Rub your palms together quickly to move the wooden stick in your palms to rotate in the depression of the bottom plate.

After drilling for several minutes, no white smoke came out of the bottom plate.

Seeing that Ma Dong-seok didn't react for a long time, Cai Fankun was overjoyed. He pressed the blisters on his hands, preparing to take over later.

In this way, you can better demonstrate your importance.

It is absolutely impossible to survive in the wilderness without fire. Not only is there no way to cook food, but you can't use fire to keep warm or protect yourself from wild animals.

The program team reminded them when they landed on the island that the temperature difference between day and night is quite large, and the temperature will be lower at night.

"This stick is too short and not straight enough." Ma Dongxi did not give up, but analyzed the reasons.

In order to successfully make fire by drilling wood, you need to reach a certain speed and the drilling process must be persistent.

He immediately picked up the machete and prepared to cut another stick.

At this time, Meng Chao had already dug the small earthen stove and gained 23 points of digging proficiency. Together with the points gained when digging cassava before, he now had 27 points.

[Mining proficiency reaches 10, can be upgraded]
Looking at this prompt, Meng Chao silently said something in his heart.

"System, upgrade mining proficiency."

The next second, there was a buzzing sound in his mind, and countless images appeared in his mind, accompanied by the itchy feeling in his muscles.

Also, this time I still have some feeling in my hands.

So he turned over his palm and found a layer of callus on it.

The emergence of this change made him more confident that his muscles were increasing and his strength was improving.

If it wasn't still raining outside, he would have wanted to upgrade his remaining chopping proficiency to 1,000 to see what kind of surprises he would get after the upgrade.
