Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

It's still raining.

"Boom!"

Even thunder seemed to mourn its passing.

"Gurgle!"

Ou Yun's stomach also let out a sound of agreement.

"well……"

Ou Yun shook his head, his face full of regret.

I've been wandering around the forbidden area all day, getting soaked in the rain and being chased around by the black leopard. I'm so hungry I have no other choice.

pity.

No fire.

They couldn't even get a hot meal.

Ou Yun rubbed his hands together and breathed on them.

Weak, pitiful, helpless, and hungry.

But no matter what, we have to deal with this leopard in front of us. We can't waste God's gift!

So Ou Yun quickened his pace, intending to first get the leopard down from the tree, and then look around for a cave or something.

We'll figure out what to do about the fire once we find a place to rest!

The audience noticed this and unanimously agreed.

"Oh dear, what a pity, this leopard would have been quite delicious!"

"That's right, I can't eat a single piece of starch cake anymore after this, sob sob!"

"Well, it really doesn't work without fire, and rain is a major problem."

"It's alright, a dead leopard can't run away, we can just drag it away."

however.

Ou Yun had only taken a few steps, and hadn't even arrived yet.

"Boom!"

Another clap of thunder startled Ou Yun.

The thunder is unusually loud today. What, is someone undergoing tribulation in this forbidden wilderness?

suddenly!

A flash of lightning appeared ahead, followed by a deafening roar.

"BOOM!!!"

A powerful bolt of lightning, precisely guided and without error, struck the tree directly.

The tree burst into flames with a loud bang.

The leopard is also ablaze!

Trees and leopards were engulfed in flames, billowing thick smoke.

Soon, a burning smell wafted out.

"Thump!"

The leopard and the tree both fell to the ground.

European Express: ?

Live stream viewers: ?

"No, buddy!"

"Holy crap? Did this leopard break some heavenly law? It's going to get struck by lightning even after it dies?"

"Hilarious! This is what happens when you try to take advantage of someone with such good luck!"

"Alright, now the fire is burning and the meat is cooked through—double happiness!"

"What are you waiting for? Eat it while it's hot!"

After a while, Ou Yun realized what was happening.

"..."

scratching his head.

Although I didn't understand what God meant, I still felt it was so amazing!

Then let's not rush things, let's preserve the spark first.

Europe uses locally sourced materials.

The fire brought by the power of thunder was extremely fierce, and the rain could not extinguish it for a while.

Ou Yun got a torch and then dug up some pine resin from a nearby pine tree.

This way, the torch can burn for a long time.

After finishing all that, Ou Yun washed his hands in the rainwater and also wiped his face.

Hmm? Is it just my imagination? Why does it feel like the rain is getting lighter?

Never mind, business comes first!

Ou Yun rolled up the banana leaves he found and secured them, using them as a rainwater collector.

Anyway, there's no other container available right now, so this will have to do.

The tree was still burning, so Ou Yun casually broke off a few branches to build a campfire, where he could warm himself and dry his clothes.

Let's grab something to eat while we're at it.

Anyway, it's all readily available.

Ou Yun casually tore a piece of meat off the black panther (whose original color was no longer recognizable) that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"Whoa..."

It's still quite hot.

But it's delicious!

The meat is firm yet incredibly tender, with a subtle charred aroma.

Sure enough, meat roasted over this fire is different; the heat is just right.

This is real meat!

After eating synthetic starch for a month, Ou Yun was almost moved to tears by the aroma of this pure, natural, pollution-free, and authentic meat.

"Oh dear, it's so hard to get something hot!"

"God: Yes, I'm exhausted!"

"Oh God, he really is... I'm crying my eyes out!"

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, and with their clothes almost dry, Ou Yun set up a rack and began to smoke the meat.

It's really troublesome without the right tools. It took Ou Yun a long time to fill the smoked meat rack, and he was sweating profusely from exhaustion.

Why do I feel like I've forgotten something...?

Ou Yun touched his chin.

Oh right, there's still one supply crate I haven't opened!

I was too busy just now and didn't think of it for a moment.

Ou Yun slapped his forehead and turned to search.

No wonder I didn't see it; it was crushed by the leopard's carcass.

Ou used a wooden stick to pry open the black panther's corpse and, sure enough, saw a white supply box underneath.

It seems that God really took pity on him. Knowing that he got three junk items in the newbie box, He's now making it up to him!

Ou Yun smiled broadly and opened the box.

The box slowly opened, emitting a faint white light.

Ou Yun's eyes widened.

This, this is...!!

Congratulations on obtaining the basic item: Farmer's Three Punches 550ml Daily Size.

A bottle of red and white mineral water.

"..."

Oh.

He knows this very well.

It costs eight yuan at the scenic spot.

It costs two yuan at the convenience store.

The snack shop sells it for 1.2 yuan.

Europe couldn't help but sigh with regret.

As expected, the lowest-level chests only give you this much stuff.

A bottle of water, once you finish it, it's gone, isn't it?

Only these plastic bottles can be of some use.

Grass!

As expected, God still rejected him like trash!

Seeing Ou Yun's dejected expression, the Chinese audience offered words of comfort and tried to make amends:

"Oh, it's okay, getting a bottle of water is already pretty impressive!"

"Even though it's just one bottle, it's definitely good stuff! If you drink it sparingly, it can last for several days!"

"So, you're saying the bottle can be refilled with water after you've finished drinking from it? Isn't that a great tool?"

Although there are many ways to get water in the forest, water that is so clean and even a little sweet is truly rare.

however.

For Europe.

He had just finished physical labor and hadn't felt thirsty before, but now that there was a bottle of water in front of him, he suddenly felt parched.

Forget about all that, I'm going to drink to my heart's content!

Ou Yun snapped the bottle cap open with a loud bang as if to vent his frustration, then tilted his head back and drank half the bottle down.

"Pfft!"

In this kind of environment, even drinking water feels as exhilarating as drinking unlimited beverages at a barbecue stand!

then.

By the time Ou Yun came to his senses, Farmer Sanquan had run out of drops.

"Well……"

Ou Yun paused for a moment.

Oh well, we've already collected quite a bit of rainwater, so let's just make do.

Just then, Ou Yun was about to pour the collected rainwater into a bottle.

Ou Yun then noticed the bottle cap—

Inside are four large characters:

[One more bottle]

"?"

Good heavens, you don't think you're being funny, do you?

That's pretty good, huh? It sounds so real.

Ou Yun, expressionless, stuffed the bottle cap into his pocket and got up to get some water.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a strange light flashed across the bottle cap.

"Crack!"

A new Farmer's Three Punches has emerged.

Then the notification sound popped up in a grand manner:

[Triggering a 10,000x multiplier: Farmer's Three Punches 550ml Daily Size.]

European Express: ?

Live stream viewers: ?

"No... huh?"

"Wait a minute, did I rewind the progress bar? How come there's another bottle?"

"Really? Didn't Brother Lucky just finish his drink?"

"Damn it, wake up! This is a buy-one-get-one-free prize redemption, hahaha!"

"You guys should focus on the key point: a 10,000x increase in investment! A 10,000x increase in investment!"

"Holy crap! So we'll be getting bottled water soon!?"

"Oh my god, this kind of purified water... I don't know how long it's been since I've had it, sob sob!"

"Holy crap... I'm out of things to say..."

"..."
