Animals typically only eat when they are hungry.

Even though people have the saying "three meals a day," you can't eat much when you're not hungry.

Violet's ability to survive alone on the island for so long naturally stems from her own survival strategies.

Unfortunately, she now has a long-term meal ticket, and the thing on this meal ticket called "biscuits" tastes much better than raw meat.

Lu Ye was actually quite petty; he had even considered letting Violet go hungry.

That way, she might go hunting when she gets hungry.

However, out of humanitarian considerations, Lu Ye decided against it.

If faced with a life-or-death crisis, Lu Ye wouldn't feel anything relying on Violet's power.

The idea of ​​having Violet chop wood was not unfounded, because he really couldn't control his strength, and besides, he wouldn't be living alone in the house; Violet would also be under the same roof to shelter him from the wind and rain.

But Lu Ye couldn't bring himself to let a teenager go hungry just to satisfy his own appetite.

There's no shortage of food for now, and we're not without hands.

More importantly, since he had decided to take Violet in and rely on her power after leaving the island, Lu Ye would not do such a thing.

Isn't exploiting others' value and then discarding them just like a capitalist's behavior?

Capitalists will end up with streetlights hanging from their windows!

But Lu Ye spent the whole afternoon trying to catch nothing.

As an ordinary person and a novice hunter, Lu Ye is really too inexperienced.

There was no other way; I couldn't outrun a rabbit or a goat, so I had to resort to ranged attacks.

Unfortunately, the weapons were inadequate.

First, there was the bow and arrow he made. Although they looked decent, the material was subpar.

A bow and arrow mainly consists of two parts: the string and the bow itself.

Putting aside the string issue, the bow itself is substandard.

Excellent bow materials include yew, mulberry, and ash.

Even without the aforementioned types of wood, it must at least have sufficient toughness.

This is also the reason for Lu Ye's failure.

He aimed at his prey, pulled back the bowstring, and then there was a "snap".

Either the string breaks or the bow cracks; it's really that high-quality!

Finally, he picked up a few crabs on the beach, and luckily, he also found a few dead jellyfish when the tide went out.

The lower half of this thing is crunchy, and it tastes pretty good when mixed with chili peppers, salt, and lemon juice.

It's a pity there are no lemons or chili peppers on this island, but it's still pretty good.

"Air Force" is not allowed; it's considered unlucky.

As evening approached, the golden sunset painted the sea with a beautiful blush of red.

Lu Ye sat bored on the beach, munching on a coconut, and sighed.

I guess I'll just have to wait until the shop refreshes in a day to see if there's anything good.

But... I'm out of points too!

What could be more painful than opening an online store but having no money?

Just as Lu Ye was troubled, the light blue text reappeared before his eyes.

Side Quest: Now Available

Use a skill-based book to target the enemy.

[Task Reward: 600 points]

Lu Ye almost forgot that there were side quests to trigger.

But then again, using skill books?

The fact that "Super Simple Quick Chinese Learning Book" didn't have any trigger conditions before means that it's not considered a skills-based book.

Or, in other words, if you use it before the side quest is triggered, it doesn't count?

But Lu Ye didn't think about these things, because he still had a book called "Seven-Day Crash Course in Swimming".

Lu Ye himself can swim. During his high school summer vacations, he often went to his grandparents' house in the countryside. When it got hot, he would swim in the shallow river and occasionally catch some small crabs to fry and eat. They were so delicious.

Therefore, using this book for your own benefit may not be useful.

And... what about Violet?

Lu Ye discovered the blind spot.

Can she swim?

To verify this idea, Lu Ye brought Violet to the sea.

Sure enough, she can't swim.

The moment Lu Ye threw her into the water, her feet floated up, and she floated on the surface of the water in a starfish shape, her golden hair spreading out in the sea like seaweed.

Lu Ye felt that if she was left unattended like this, she could drift away with the tide for kilometers.

Lu Ye was very happy, as he now had 600 points!

After carrying Violet ashore, Lu Ye didn't rush to dress her. Instead, he took out the book "Seven-Day Crash Course in Swimming".

Evening is a good time to learn to swim.

The sun had not yet sunk into the sea, the surface of the sea was sparkling, the water was warm, and a few seabirds flew by from time to time, with a gentle breeze blowing occasionally.

Lu Ye stood in waist-deep water, holding Violet's hand, and taught her how to swim based on the book.

The two held hands, the girl's long golden hair swaying in the water, her slender legs swinging in the water, delicate and well-proportioned.

Although she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, Violet was indeed very beautiful. Every line of her body was youthful and smooth, every inch of her skin was as warm and smooth as jade, and her body, which was still developing, had skin as smooth as cream and curves as beautiful as spring mountains.

Lu Ye finally understood what the ancients meant by "beauty is food for the eyes".

"Her skin is so smooth and her beauty is so captivating."

Watching this scene is like appreciating a kind of beauty; I just wish this moment could last a little longer, just a little longer.

However, he sometimes tries to look away.

It wasn't because he was a virtuous gentleman, but because he felt a burning sensation in his nose, and if he continued watching, his lewd blood would pollute this beautiful sea.

He was determined to raise Violet to be a normal person. He didn't want Violet to grow up and then, looking back on the day he taught her to swim, to suddenly have a nosebleed...

Chapter 8 Sunscreen is a good thing

More than two hours later, the panel popped up.

Side Quest: Completed

[Task Reward: 600 points]

Lu Ye received a reward of 600 points.

An hour ago, after Violet was able to swim on her own, Lu Ye wanted to go back to sleep. However, Violet seemed to really enjoy the feeling of floating in the water and surprisingly didn't go with Lu Ye.

So Lu Ye squatted on the beach for a while longer until the girl got tired of playing before returning to her lodgings.

Goodnight, Violet.

"install."

Violet also imitated Lu Ye, although she only remembered the pronunciation of the last word.

-------------------------------------

The next morning, after breakfast, Lu Ye continued her "language teaching" for the day.

Violet knelt on the beach, watching Lu Ye write simple words in the sand with a twig, and then repeated them to him over and over again.

After failing to hunt, Lu Ye increased his teaching time in order to have meat to eat.

Just like the elementary school timetable, we studied from morning until noon, then had lunch and took a nap, then continued teaching until we didn't want to teach anymore in the afternoon, at which point we would take Violet to explore the island.

Although he didn't have a watch, Lu Ye had his own way of checking the time.

He stuck a twig in the sand, and when the shadow of the twig was shortest, it was time to cook.

By now, Violet can read and write her own name.

Not only that, he could also understand some of the simple sentences Lu Ye spoke, which made him very happy.

Violet is smart and obedient, unlike when I was in school, I would daydream in class every day and I never felt impatient with studying.

At this rate, she should be able to communicate somewhat fluently in less than two months.

Two months... Just thinking about it makes Lu Ye furious.

When will that damn ship arrive?

Do you know how I've spent this week?

Compressed biscuits, water, and coconuts I ate until I was sick of them...

I really want to eat braised pork!

Braised pork belly with a perfect balance of lean and fat, served on a bed of soft, stewed soybeans and topped with a delicious broth!

Lu Ye sighed.

He understood that dwelling on these things now was pointless.

Instead of fantasizing about braised pork, it's more realistic to look forward to what will be refreshed in the store after tonight.

At lunchtime, since the compressed biscuits had been eaten long ago, Lu Ye got some breadfruit and put it on the fire to bake.

These days, Lu Ye has learned to start a fire on his own.
