Survive in the Wilderness with Celebrities

Chapter 14 Do you know what plant it is?
After a round of collection, there was half a pot of rain water.

The rain water was not very clean because it was mixed with some leaves and dust from the leaves.

Meng Chao took the pot back to the temporary shelter. By this time the rain had almost stopped.

After putting the pot on the earthen stove, Meng Chao put the cassava into the pot.

"Is everything cooked?" Lee Ji-eun asked directly.

"What do you think?" Meng Chao turned his head to look at Lee Ji-eun, then his eyes slid to An Yifei, and finally turned to Ma Dong-seok.

Because Cai Fankun did not go with them to dig cassava, it meant that they had to give a share to Cai Fankun.

"Let's cook it. We are a team and we need to cooperate to survive for 30 days." An Yifei was the first to express her opinion.

Although she didn't have much affection for Cai Fankun, she knew that one more person meant more strength.

Now is the first day, so it is normal for everyone to need some time to get used to each other.

Moreover, if it targets Cai Fankun, it will also lower the audience's favorable impression of everyone.

"No need to look at me. As Miss An said, we are a team." As he said this, Ma Dongxi wrung out his towel.

After hearing what everyone said, Cai Fankun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he participated in collecting Chai Doufu, he felt that it could not fill his stomach.

If people don't give him cassava, he will starve.

There is not much cassava, and the hanging pot with a diameter of 26 cm and a height of 22 cm is big enough to hold all the cassava.

It is impossible for everyone to be full with such a small amount of cassava. They can only fill their stomachs and eat until they are 50% to 60% full.

However, most artists have relatively small appetites and are usually very careful to control their food intake.

Judging from his body shape, Ma Dong-seok was probably the only one who had no control.

"Let's go around and see if we can find some other food?" Ma Dongxi made a direct invitation.

He felt that Meng Chao was quite reliable. His performance from the beginning to now had been good, even not inferior to his own.

"Okay, this amount of cassava really won't fill me up. I eat a lot, twice as much as an average person." Meng Chao agreed to the other party's invitation and revealed his amazing appetite.

In fact, he didn't want this to happen, but when he traveled to this world, his body changed, causing his appetite to increase dramatically.

However, before he traveled through time, his appetite was not small.

Although I am very thin, I can eat two bowls of rice and a lot of vegetables.

He felt that he could finish all the cassava in the pot by himself, and if he didn't find some extra food, he would starve.

[No wonder I'm so fat, it turns out it's all caused by eating too much. ]

[No piece of meat is eaten for free. Such people are actually very suitable for wilderness survival because they can withstand hunger and persist the longest. ]

[He said it on purpose, he still has some brains. This way, if he eats more in the future, no one will say anything.]

[With such a foodie in the team, everyone must be under a lot of pressure, right? ]

[Needless to say, look at that short Kun's disgusted expression, tsk tsk. ]

While the discussion was going on in the live broadcast room, Meng Chao and Ma Dongxi had already come out with javelins to look for food.

Cai Fankun originally wanted to go with them, but Meng Chao asked him to stay to protect the two girls.

However, he took the machete, after all, the forest was still quite dense and full of rainwater.

With the machete, he can continue to improve his proficiency in chopping.

"Are you going to continue to clear the way?" Ma Dongxi asked when he saw Meng Chao continuing to walk in the direction he had cleared the way before. "Well, while I still have the energy." Meng Chao grabbed the stick with his left hand and knocked the rain off the bushes.

[Knocking proficiency +1]
Seeing this proficiency, Meng Chao swung the stick again.

Now that you have reached a certain level of proficiency, it would be a waste not to brush up on it.

Every time you gain proficiency, you make yourself stronger.

In this world, it is not only external things like cigarettes that are addictive, but also hard work, success and becoming stronger.

While Meng Chao was cutting trees to clear a path, Ma Dongxi was also looking for food. He had Lee Ji-eun's engineer shovel in his hand.

"Hey, come and take a look at this plant, do you know it, and whether its fruits are edible."

Hearing Ma Dongxi's call, Meng Chao hurriedly walked towards him.

When he got closer, he saw Ma Dongxi squatting beside a bush with vines wrapped around it and some black fruits hanging on it.

There are some bumps on the surface of the fruit, and the fruits are not big, but there are quite a few of them.

[This is Huang Du, a traditional Chinese medicine. You can eat it, but don’t eat too much. It is listed as a poisonous plant in many places.]

[It is edible, but bitter. However, it is rich in starch and can be used to fill the stomach when there is no food. However, it can easily cause diarrhea. ]

[This is the wilderness, so it's good to have something to eat. Their group is considered lucky. The other two groups didn't find much to eat, so they all decided to try their luck at the beach.]

【Guess, can Brother Chao recognize what this is? 】

[Of course it can be used. This stuff is available in the market. My family usually uses it to stew pork ribs. It clears away heat and detoxifies. It is also good for stewing soup. It tastes powdery, like taro or potato.]

[I think so too. Fat Brother has never let me down since the start of the show. I am already his fan.

"This is the Radix Codonopsis pilosulae. It's edible, but it tastes bitter." Meng Chao picked one and put it in his pocket.

[Picking proficiency +1]
The proficiency in picking and gathering are actually separate?
Meng Chao was a little surprised, and then picked another one.

"Is it really edible?" Ma Dongxi was a little skeptical. He felt that the black fruit looked a little unsafe.

"Of course, this is yellow inside and rich in starch. It just tastes a bit bitter, like bitter melon. Have you ever eaten bitter melon?" As he said this, Meng Chao glanced at the other party.

"Of course I have. It's not as expensive as watermelon. But I don't like bitter things, unless it's coffee." Ma Dongxi couldn't help but complain.

They are all bitter, so how come coffee is okay?

Meng Chao did not express his complaints and continued picking.

There are about twenty or thirty yellow lilies here, enough for him to reach 10 points of picking proficiency.

After a while, Meng Chao heard the prompt he wanted.

[Picking proficiency reaches 10, can be upgraded]
"System, upgrade picking."

Meng Chao silently repeated this sentence in his heart without making any expression.

Then, he felt a slight change in his hands, and at the same time, he felt that his reaction seemed to have become faster.

He knew that his feeling was not wrong because it was actually a kind of feedback from the body.

"Look around, maybe there will be more. I'll continue to clear the way."

Meng Chao held those yellow thorns in his pocket, and he wanted even more to raise his chopping proficiency to 1,000 points, and then upgrade it to see what benefits were waiting for him.

Even though his stomach was protesting, he was unwilling to stop.
