An extraordinary life journey through old Beijing courtyard houses

Sigh, I'm impressed. This time, Jiang Baobin has truly been tempered by the system.

Their wilderness survival skills are increasing rapidly!

Although he can't compare to veterans, he's fortunate to be from a rural background and wasn't spoiled growing up.

So he does have some practical skills, otherwise he would be completely helpless if he were thrown into this desolate wilderness!

Jiang Baobin took stock of the food distributed by the system and saw how much was left:

Three packs of compressed biscuits; a little over 1 pound of sweet potatoes; 1 pound of salt blocks; less than half a pound of dried meat.

The biscuits were mainly consumed when we first entered the mountains.

Because Jiang Baobin was completely clueless and didn't have many ways to make a living, he could only rely on his savings.

But we don't need it anymore, there are fish in the pond.

Occasionally, Four-Eyes would catch some wild game, enough to fill his stomach.

He avoids sweet potatoes if possible, but they make a good bait.

Salt should also be used sparingly; it's so cold that we don't need it to preserve food.

Dried meat is what he cherishes most.

I wonder if the system has bestowed upon me some kind of mysterious power, or what?

After consuming it, Jiang Baobin felt his skills improve, and he was always able to surpass his previous abilities.

Therefore, it is very precious, and recently it has only eaten a little bit in order to make its way to the bottom of the pool.

There's nothing I can do; the system is determined to play hide-and-seek with me.

Every time I feel like I can reach my goal the next day.

But once you reach the expected location, you'll discover that there's a whole new world below...

Holy crap! Is this ever going to end?

It's time to go down again.

Eating only fish doesn't provide enough energy, so Jiang Baobin carefully put two pieces of dried meat into his mouth.

While chewing slowly, he practiced the "Kundalini" exercise.

As his body gradually heated up, he suddenly became determined to finish the job in one fell swoop!

So he threw three more pieces of dried meat into his mouth and chewed them fiercely.

My inner universe burst into intense heat! Along with it, "Wave Wrapping Skill," "Fetal Breathing Skill," and "Iron Crotch Skill" all reached their optimal state.

This guy started taking off his clothes, and then...

Upon entering the water, the body, which was originally as hot as charcoal, was instantly cooled down.

The pool was shrouded in mist, making it look quite hot, but the water temperature was actually close to zero degrees Celsius.

It's just that it's warmer than the surrounding temperature, which is why it feels like a big soup pot.

Knowing the route well, Jiang Baobin descended the seabed.

Moreover, the temperature rises as you go down, and the more comfortable you feel.

But Jiang Baobin knew that the water temperature was still dropping.

Because fish that could be seen at a depth of 30 meters a few days ago can now only be seen at a depth of 40 meters.

After setting up the fish trap, Jiang Baobin continued his descent.

Soon, they arrived at the crevice between the giant rocks at the bottom of the lake where the skeleton had been.

At this point, Jiang Baobin also felt the pressure.

According to the formula, for every 10 meters of descent, one must withstand an additional atmosphere of pressure.

He is now more than forty meters away.

The pressure it experiences is four times that of water.

But we haven't reached the seemingly bottomless pool yet.

Jiang Baobin went around to the other side of the boulder.

Squeeze through a large gap and continue downwards.

The water temperature here is higher, and algae are proliferating in large quantities.

This is why visibility became very poor.

Even with Jiang Baobin's poor eyesight, he could only see clearly from one or two meters away.

Down, down!

He has given it his all!

I originally thought that this time I would definitely be able to reach the bottom and completely reveal the secret of the pool.

But as it turns out, he was tricked by the system again—

It seemed within reach, but my body couldn't take it anymore!

He only dared to reach this depth because he possessed the ability to avoid water.

For an ordinary person, the alveoli would definitely rupture, and they would die instantly!

Just when Jiang Baobin lost confidence and had no choice but to turn to other options.

Suddenly, a large fish poked its head out from a crack in the rocks.

It seems to be divine revelation!

Jiang Baobin rolled over again and slashed downwards with both hands and feet without regard for anything else.

In an instant, as if under a spell, he felt dizzy and his consciousness was slipping away!

Jiang Baobin tried hard to control his mind and prevent himself from fainting.

The fish was incredibly stupid; it wasn't afraid of Jiang Baobin, this behemoth, at all.

Some even leaned out a little more out of curiosity.

Then this guy can't be polite.

Like an old lecher reaching out his claws to an innocent young girl, Jiang Baobin suddenly grabbed its vital parts...

A few minutes later, a head popped out of the calm lake with a "splash".

It's Jiang Baobin, of course.

Only then did the fish realize that disaster was imminent, and it struggled desperately.

Although fish are incredibly strong in the water, Jiang Baobin managed to grip their gills tightly with both hands.

With a weight advantage of more than ten times, no matter how hard it struggled, it was all in vain.

Moreover, the bespectacled boy who heard the noise had already rushed over to help...

Jiang Baobin lay on the shore panting for a long time before finally getting up, exhausted.

If it weren't so cold, he would have liked to lie there a little longer.

Looking up at the sky, I realized that the snow had stopped while I was diving.

Looking out into the distance along the valley, the whole world is covered in silver, which is exceptionally magnificent and beautiful.

Find the rifle that he hid on the shore before going into the water (every time he went into the mountains, he never let go of his gun, and he didn't find it troublesome at all).

This time, he was really exhausted.

Therefore, they no longer carried guns on their backs, but used them as canes to walk.

Behind him was Four-Eyes, who was beaming with joy as he held a large fish in his mouth.

For animals, nothing brings them more joy than food.

This guy only weighs about 50 pounds, but he can pick up a big fish weighing seven or eight pounds like it's nothing.

Back in his shack, Jiang Baobin rested for a while.

He only remembered it when he was about to cook.

The pot was still submerged in the water, but he simply didn't have the strength to dive to a depth of forty meters.

Forget it, let's try something different.

Anyway, the weather will definitely change after the snow, so we might as well light the fire in the shack and grill some fish.

Hey! I have to say, as long as the fish is fresh enough, it's still delicious even if you just rub it with a little salt.

Because he had expended so much energy, Jiang Baobin ate half a fish in one go.

Four-Eyes was incredibly envious, looking down at the fish head, tail, and innards that had been given to him...

I couldn't help but bark twice at Jiang Baobin: Dogs have no human rights!

Jiang Baobin had no time to pay attention to it; he was busy contemplating the Dao!

Through this experience, he truly realized that living frugally was completely wrong!

He should fill his stomach before going to fight the pool, his current enemy!

Only in this way can one earn a plentiful amount of food.

Just like today, if I hadn't eaten a few more pieces of precious dried meat in order to reach the bottom of the lake as soon as possible.

They don't have the ability to dive that deep, so they can't catch the big fish that's the prize.

That's right, it's a prize.

Jiang Baobin couldn't offer a reasonable explanation for such a foolish fish, except perhaps as a system reward.

Jiang Baobin is incredibly cunning! I've seen through him completely through just one or two incidents.

Being cautious and proceeding step by step is not what the system wants to see...
