The entire school embarks on a survival journey, starting from a primeval rainforest.

Rooftop, corner.

With a flash of light, a blue card slowly appeared before Jiang Fan's eyes.

Congratulations on obtaining the blue recruitment card - Heavenly Cloud Vine!

Tianyun Vine?

A hint of doubt flashed in Jiang Fan's eyes, and he clicked to use it.

[Name: Tianyun Vine]

[Type: Pet (Plant-based - Symbiotic)]

[Abilities: Living Armor, Ejection Traction, Life Filter]

[Note: Living Armor: Can be instantly woven into flexible or hardened plant armor on the body surface according to the host's instructions to resist impact and cut.]

Ejection Traction: Extremely tough vines can be launched from the wrist, with strong adhesive ends. Suitable for high-speed movement (swinging, traction), emergency rescue, or mid-range attacks.

Life Filter: The vine body can absorb large amounts of turbid water, efficiently filtering it into pure water through its root system, and storing it within the host body or a designated container.

[Note 1: It's a part of you, and also your biggest customer. Are you ready to feed two people?]

[Note 2: What's filtered is water; what settles is the hope of survival. Don't ask what the sediment is; you won't want to know.]

[Note 3: Eat well, don't diet.]

After reading the introduction of the Heavenly Cloud Vine, Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment.

Am I... becoming Spider-Man?

Putting aside the defensive capabilities of the living armor and the water purification capabilities of the life filter, the ejection traction alone is simply a divine artifact!

At this moment, the Heavenly Cloud Vine had transformed into a green leaf mark imprinted on Jiang Fan's right wrist.

He could sense that as long as he had a thought, he could send out a vine about ten meters long.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't want to expose his abilities to everyone too early, Jiang Fan would like to take a stroll in the distant forest right now.

At the same time, Jiang Fan became even more excited about the rewards to come.

Keep in mind, what you're seeing right now is just a blue card!

If we could get a few more cards of higher tier, wouldn't we be invincible?

...

The fire on the rooftop crackled and popped.

People who had been busy all day sat around the table, and no one complained about the thin meat and meager ingredients.

The snake meat stewing in the iron pot emitted a simple and primitive aroma, and everyone chewed it with great effort.

"How can you guys eat this?" The chubby boy, Ji Ran, pointed at the iron pot used for cooking meat, his face full of disgust. "This thing must be a foot bath basin! I'm not eating it!"

"What's wrong with the foot bath basin?" Bald Ding Hang smacked his lips, then scooped a large piece of meat from the basin, stuffed it into his mouth along with half a crumpled spicy strip, and exclaimed, "This is more flavorful!"

Someone else tore off a strip of meat and grabbed it with their hand, putting it directly into their mouth.

No one refuted Ding Hang.

With a tense nerve and an empty stomach after a long day, being sentimental is the most useless thing.

The firelight illuminated tired but relaxed faces.

Some people spoke in hushed tones, while others simply stared blankly at the flames.

Several outgoing boys even hummed off-key songs around the fire, which quickly drew boos and laughter.

The taut string finally relaxed a little at this moment.

Just as Jiang Fan sat down next to Lin Feng, a round-faced girl handed him a skewer of grilled meat.

"Yueyue baked these herself, have a taste," she said with a smile.

Jiang Fan knew her; she was Nangong Yue's roommate, named Chen Ke.

But that skewer of grilled meat was completely black; someone who didn't know better might mistake it for coal.

Jiang Fan didn't answer: "You're using plastic fire to grill meat? Trying to poison me?"

"Don't worry about all that," Chen Ke said intently, "just tell me if you're going to eat or not."

Jiang Fan turned his head to look in the other direction.

Nangong Yue was squatting there, using a branch to hold a piranha, patiently turning it over the fire. The firelight illuminated her profile, which was calm and focused.

The tabby cat squatted at her feet and meowed, "Hurry, hurry! I'm starving, I'm starving!"

Noticing Jiang Fan's gaze, she looked up and smiled slightly.

Jiang Fan understood.

"Alright then." He took the string of charcoal.

Chen Ke's lips immediately curled up.

But the next second, Jiang Fan flicked his wrist and threw the skewers directly into the fire.

"Ah! You're wasting food!" Chen Ke's smile froze as she exclaimed.

"Give me a break," Jiang Fan said bluntly, "You call this food? It's more like poison."

"Oh no, oh no," Chen Ke muttered wistfully, her face falling. "Washing Yueyue's underwear for a month is exhausting..."

"It's laundry." Nangong Yue fed the grilled fish to the tabby cat, got up and walked over, grabbing Chen Ke's arm and pulling her back into the group of girls. "Don't talk nonsense."

The little farce ended with lighthearted laughter and banter.

Jiang Fan then sat down, picked up the bowl, and began to eat the meat heartily.

It had no seasoning and the meat was coarse, but it was very filling.

He ate quickly and attentively.

The food in his stomach was quickly digested, and a slight warm current flowed along his blood to his right wrist, where the mark of the Heavenly Cloud Vine was located.

He could feel it "eating," growing, and sharing this hard-won meal with him.

So Jiang Fan ate even faster.

The pot of meat soup was quickly emptied, so he ladled out another pot.

The surrounding voices gradually subsided.

A series of gazes were cast upon them, filled with disbelief.

Lin Feng stopped chewing and stared blankly at Jiang Fan: "Fanzi...you didn't eat this much before?"

Ding Hang had already put down his bowl, but Jiang Fan's eating habits spurred him on, so he couldn't help but grab two more pieces of meat and stuff them into his mouth, muttering as he chewed, "This is weird..."

Chen Ke huddled next to Nangong Yue and muttered softly, "Is he starving... What if he can't find anything to eat one day and he eats us too?"

"Shut up." Nangong Yue slapped her, but couldn't help looking at Jiang Fan herself.

Jiang Fan ignored the stares around him.

He chewed and swallowed intently, feeling his strength gradually returning and sensing the subtle fluctuations emanating from the Heavenly Cloud Vine on his wrist.

Although the Heavenly Cloud Vine cannot communicate with him like a tabby cat, Jiang Fan can truly feel its presence.

He ate even more heartily.

He didn't put down the iron basin until he had finished the last sip of soup, and let out a long breath.

The mark on my wrist seemed a little clearer.

The flickering firelight reflected the varied expressions on everyone's faces.

The rooftop is safe for the time being, food is plentiful for the time being, and fatigue is temporarily suppressed.

But the rainforest in the distance remained dark, and the underwater threat had not disappeared.

Jiang Fan wiped his mouth and looked at the indistinct outlines of the trees in the darkness.

He knew that this moment of relaxation wouldn't last long.

As darkness fell and mosquitoes began to multiply on the rooftop, even with a campfire burning, everyone had to end this precious time of joy and return to their dormitories.

After a busy day, Jiang Fan lay in bed without feeling any discomfort.

He soon fell into a deep sleep.

In a half-dreaming, half-awake state, he seemed to hear a voice.

"Acquired a large amount of survival supplies and led the group to kill the anaconda, for a total of 280 points."
