Chereads / Cheating for Survival / Chapter 20 - Fire! The cornerstone of human progress

Chapter 20 - Fire! The cornerstone of human progress

This is an ordinary desert island. There are some dead branches and leaves on the desert island, which is relatively bleak. A small bamboo forest can be vaguely seen.

There are birds and small animals like elk jumping in the bamboo forest.

The risk factor should not be as great as imagined! Moreover, the bamboo forest is a good thing. If you are lucky, you can get bamboo shoots.

Bamboo can also be used for many purposes when cut down. For example, it can be used to make fences, bamboo strips, and weaving into various useful things.

Jun has always wanted to obtain some resources from the sea, such as fishing!

With bamboo, you can make a simple fishing net. With practice and quick skills, you should be able to slowly develop it to a level where you can catch fish.

The pressure of survival on a desert island is not small. Jun must master various skills quickly, and it is best to make use of all useful resources.

Only in this way can we remain invincible in any environment.

After the desert island was getting closer and stabilized, Jun slowly went to the other shore.

The texture of this desert island is similar to the previous one. Maybe it's cooler because of the bamboo forest! When he landed on this desert island, Jun watched the content updates of the script closely this time!

The data is similar to the previous one, recording the location of the newly spawned treasure box.

This is very important because it will directly affect the size of Jun's harvest on this desert island.

What's more, it's the location data of some animals and plants. This data is relatively complicated and flows down like a waterfall.

Jun could basically see everything clearly. He had long been accustomed to such a fast flow of information.

The refreshed terrain also made Jun feel more at ease. After all, it was a relatively familiar normal island on land.

There are two treasure boxes! One is diamond and the other is epic! This is not easy anymore!

You know, this epic-level treasure box is quite rare.

Previously on the World Channel, Jun had seen the most diamond-level treasure boxes mentioned by players.

There should be very few people who can find treasure boxes above the epic level.

In fact, Jun should remove the word "should"!

From the beginning of this doomsday survival game to now, only Jun has actually found a treasure box above the epic level. One is the mythical treasure box that was previously opened with a 10,000-fold gain, and the other is the current epic-level treasure box.

Of course, although the coordinates of this treasure box have been updated, Jun still hasn't found it yet, so he can't talk about it.

Land on the desert island and go up.

Jun saw the prompts in the script and began to scroll closely.

Some data about terrain, plants, and surfaces are constantly refreshed, and some data about small animals also appear.

There are rabbits, and there are wild boars.

Another one appeared, which surprised Jun. It turned out to be a cow.

Yes, cows!

This is a treasure. If it could be kept in captivity, wouldn't it be a great development?

Jun got a little excited thinking about being able to drink fresh milk every morning when he got up.

He strode forward because Jun didn't feel any threat for the time being.

"Gurgling 1"

But at this moment, Jun's stomach began to growl unsatisfactorily.

No wonder, he has always eaten these canned lunch meats, carbonated drinks like Coke, and at most the endless Xiaoyao spicy strips, so there is nothing else to eat.

There is no oil or water in his stomach!

Jun had already collected big lizard meat and octopus meat. These were very fresh and tender meats.

only…

Still no fire.

Jun knew that he had to find a way to light a fire, otherwise, he might have stomach problems soon.

Eating cooked food is a cornerstone of human progress, and this cannot be abandoned.

Otherwise, if his intelligence deteriorates by then, who will be responsible for this!

There was no way for the gun to directly create flames, so Jun thought of another way.

With such a big sun, there will always be a way.

It would be ridiculous to drill wood to make fire. The method of focusing with a magnifying glass is more reliable.

In fact, when he was a child, Jun lived in the countryside. He remembered that some naughty children at that time would use these magnifying glasses to focus on small insects such as ants, and then use them to burn them.

It is indeed possible to use the focus to gather heat and ignite flammable materials such as dead grass and paper scraps.

But the problem now is that Jun doesn't have a magnifying glass.

Wait a moment! Who says no? It's not just a magnifying glass, it's even a telescope! When the bright silver technology gun transforms into a sniper rifle form, it has a scope!

This thing should be reliable!

He took out the bright silver technology gun and changed its status.

This fist-sized sight is indeed a structure of a convex lens.

However, this telescope accessory cannot be disassembled.

It's a bit of a pity.

If not, just put it under the sun to focus! Jun didn't care about that much, found a lot of dead grass, and then gathered it together.

Placed in the sun, there are some dry branches.

All gathered together.

Then this bright silver technology gun was set up.

Adjust the position...

adjust the angle...

slowly try the height from the ground again to find a focus point.

However, things didn't seem to go that smoothly.

After all, this scope is used to aim at a target at a very long distance, and the focus may be relatively far away.

If that were the case, Jun would have to find a higher place to focus.

High places?

bamboo forest!

Jun made up his mind and took pictures directly to the bamboo forest. These bamboos were much taller than expected!

It is a full twenty or thirty meters high, which can be said to reach the sky.

I found a big bamboo and kicked it to make sure I could climb up.

Then.

superior! In order to have a bite of cooked food, Jun completely risked his life!
