With the furnace, starting a fire with beetles became extremely easy.

Simply bring hay and sawdust close to the furnace beetle, and they will burst into flames before they even touch its body.

It saves the time of starting a fire by rubbing sticks together.

Lin Xu lit a fire inside the bronze resource box, and then placed the black iron resource box horizontally on top of the bronze resource box.

I used a black iron resource box as a pot to render lard.

After a full half hour, all the white, fatty meat had turned into crispy, delicious pork cracklings.

Lin Xu, who had just extinguished the fire and was holding a large jar of oil residue, was preparing to eat purple-spotted red mushrooms with the oil residue for his dinner.

Then the professional who had been unconscious slowly woke up.

After glancing around at his surroundings, the professional struggled to sit up.

Looking at Lin Xu holding a ceramic jar of fried pork residue, I couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Hello..."

"Thank you for saving me. My name is Wen Yan."

"Where are you from? I'm from the Liangshan Mountains..."

Based on the female professional's reaction at this moment, Lin Xu could determine that she had fainted on her own.

Instead of being frightened unconscious by the mother bear.

They're still asking themselves where they come from, which shows they're not quite sure what's going on.

"My name is Lin Xu. You must be very hungry."

As he spoke, Lin Xu broke off a piece of purple-spotted red mushroom and tossed it to the female professional.

The oil lamps inside the shelter emitted an extremely dim light.

It was so dark that Wen Yan could hardly see Lin Xu's face.

When Lin Xu threw something to her, Wen Yan instinctively reached out to catch it.

Upon seeing that the object in his hand was a bright red mushroom stem with purple markings on its incomplete cap, he realized...

Wen Yan subconsciously dropped the mushroom in her hand on the ground and quickly said.

"This mushroom is so brightly colored, you can't eat it."

As Wen Yan was speaking, she subconsciously braced herself against the ground, trying to get up and stop them.

He then let out a cry of pain.

At that moment, Wen Yan saw Lin Xu already eating the mushroom in his hand.

"I've been eating this mushroom for several days now, and it's not poisonous."

When Mama Bear brought Wen Yan back, Lin Xu didn't even notice that Wen Yan's leg was injured.

Injuring your leg right at the start of the journey is not good news.

There was virtually no chance of survival.

When Lin Xu got closer, Wen Yan couldn't help but be taken aback.

When Wen Yan was teaching in the mountains, she would often browse Douyin (TikTok) in her spare time.

You can always find streamers in the beauty section who get hundreds of thousands of tips in a single PK battle.

The young man in front of me is just as good-looking as those internet celebrities who use beauty filters.

But her eyes and brows were even more expressive.

"What is your talent?"

Upon hearing Lin Xu ask about her talent, Wen Yan couldn't help but ask him in return.

"Is the talent you're referring to the ability you gained by absorbing that white crystal?"

"My abilities are terrible, so I'm called Card Master."

"Resource cards can be merged to improve their quality. Do you know what resource cards are?"

Wen Yan was hiking in the mountains two months ago.

He broke his left leg because the mountain road was too steep and has been resting in bed ever since.

As soon as he was able to get out of bed and move around, he found himself transported to a completely new world.

Wen Yan had also read some romance novels about time travel to a fictional dynasty, so she was fairly accepting of this kind of thing.

However, due to the injury to her left leg, Wen Yan was unable to even gather resources.

Wen Yan remembered that she fainted while looking for food.

Wen Yan didn't know whether she fainted from the pain or from hunger.

Lin Xu's breath hitched when he heard Wen Yan's words.

Lin Xu had never heard of the Card Master talent, which allows him to synthesize resource cards, in his previous life.

"What's your Twisted Fate talent rating?"

Wen Yan thought Lin Xu didn't know what a resource card was either, and said somewhat awkwardly.

"S-level rating".

"Is this mushroom really edible? If you say yes, I'll eat it."

Lin Xu took two pieces of oil residue from the earthenware jar and handed them to Wen Yan.

"Eat up, you can eat."

"I sprinkled some pig's blood powder on the pork cracklings. Although it tastes a bit fishy, ​​it helps to replenish the salt."

If it's an S-level talent, then it makes sense.

Talents ranging from D to A level can be repeated.

There are many professionals like Feng Qiang who possess C-level talent and metallic skin.

Talents that can be rated S-level are all unique.

If Wen Yan's talent, Card Master, can synthesize resource cards, then the quality of those resource cards can be improved.

Wen Yan must have been very famous in her previous life, so it's impossible that Lin Xu hadn't heard of her.

It's likely that Wen Yan died after fainting in her previous life.

When Mama Bear found Wen Yan, it was almost dark.

Once it gets dark, even large wild animals won't need to find Wen Yan.

The numerous toothed moles in the grass would be the first to gnaw the immobilized Wen Yan into pieces.

If Wen Yan's talent has no effect on Lin Xu.

Due to an injury to her left leg, she was unable to perform work like the Seashell Maiden puppet.

Lin Xu will not support Wen Yan, who is a burden.

However, if Wen Yan possesses S-level talent, then everything would be a different story.

Wen Yan, who had just picked up the purple-spotted red mushroom under the cover of night and was about to put it in her mouth, looked at the two pieces of pork cracklings that Lin Xu handed her.

My eyes welled up with tears.

"Thank you, I'll just eat half of this mushroom."

"These mushrooms feel firm to the touch; they should keep you full for a long time."

"I see you have a few animal hides hanging there. If you could help me grind a bone needle, that would be great."

"I can rub some coarse linen to help you sew a leather blanket."

Wen Yan knew very well that she had come to this world where life was uncertain and wild beasts roamed everywhere.

Acquiring supplies is a difficult task, and hunting also involves risks.

The man in front of her had saved her, and Wen Yan didn't want to add too much burden to him.

In just a few words, Lin Xu already knew what kind of person Wen Yan was.

Lin Xu admired Wen Yan's character, but he knew that such a character would inevitably lead to significant losses once communication functions were enabled.

"Eat up, there's plenty of meat."

"I'll also stew some meat and ribs later."

"Drink some bone broth; it will help your leg heal faster."

After saying that, Lin Xu placed a ceramic basin filled with water in front of Wen Yan.

"Take this water and drink it first."

"It's too dangerous outside the shelter at night. If you want to take a bath, you can go to the stream tomorrow."

Lin Xu has decided to include Wen Yan in his team.

If the Card Master talent is truly as Wen Yan described, Lin Xu can foresee the immense wealth it can create.

Lin Xu would naturally be better off with his future companions or, rather, his contracted followers.

Earthenware bowls made from yellow clay are only baked at a low temperature, so cracks are inevitable.

It will leak a little when used to hold bone broth.

Once the trading platform opens tomorrow morning, Lin Xu will purchase some ordinary-grade resource cards that can be used to obtain daily necessities.
