Chapter 18: Roasted Eggs with Sea Urchins
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The trees in the tropics were all very tall. As it was difficult to get sunlight at the lower half, the plants placed all their efforts into growing taller.
The entire branch was bare, and it was not easy to even use it to boost himself up.
David looked at it. He wasn’t looking at how he should climb this tree, but how to climb up as fast as he could.
That was why he had spun a few rounds on the spot.
With his current physical condition, climbing up the tree would be a breeze.
Without wasting any time, he activated the power of his body and advanced at an extremely fast speed.
The people in the livestream were dumbfounded again.
“I say, can you guys trust him for once? He even dared to fight the Specter Dragon, would he be afraid of climbing a tree?”
“You’re right. Some people just can’t stand to see others doing well.”
“When they pick up the slightest faults in others, they will start to mock and ridicule them.”
“I wonder how inferior they feel in reality.”
David reached the top of the tree and looked at the bird’s nest. Indeed, he saw an egg.
He had never seen such a huge egg before.
It was at least twice the size of a goose egg and weighed at least half a kilogram.
“What’s this?” David wondered. He might have awakened the Huntsman Skill, but his level was very low.
Setting traps and catching hares had only allowed him to advance to Level 2.
His howling and tracking skills amongst them became much better than before.
He had also used these skills to look for bird eggs earlier on. He had seen some bird footprints on the trees.
However, this was the first time he had seen the big bird egg in his hand. He did not know what it was.
Since he had gotten it, he brought the bird egg down from the tree and returned happily.
On the way back, he found another bird’s nest on a tree.
You will never complain about having too much of something. He placed the large bird egg on the ground and went to pick another nest of small bird eggs.
By the time he was done, it was almost evening. He had just eaten some fish for lunch and was already hungry.
All of the work was worth it just for tonight’s feast.
When he returned, he looked at the bird egg against the rays of the setting sun to see if it was transparent inside.
At first, it was that large egg. It was extremely heavy in his hands as he held it against the sun.
Under the rays of the sun, a black shadow could be seen beneath the thin layer of eggshell.
The silhouette of the shadow could be clearly seen. Its head, feet, and wings, it looked like a bird living in amniotic fluid.
The mini camera turned to take the same visual angle as David, and the audience saw this scene clearly.
“This is an egg that has been nested. It looks like it will break out of its shell soon.”
“Will David eat it or raise it?”
“If it were someone else, eating it would be most beneficial. After all, not everyone has enough food to feed an animal. But David has a lot of food here. Raising it should be fine?”
“Is he playing a nurturing game?”
David was also stunned. He did not expect that this egg would be hatching so soon.
He couldn’t accept it if he had to eat it just like that.
He set the bird egg aside and picked up the few others. They were all transparent, which meant that they could be eaten.
He did not care about the big egg anymore. The most important thing was to fill his stomach first.
David broke open the sea urchins first, removing the organs and cleaning them one by one.
He emptied one of the sea urchin shells and used it as a small bowl. He cracked the bird eggs inside and stirred gently.
He then poured the egg liquid into each of the sea urchins one by one and made more than 20 sea urchin bowls.
There were still too few bird eggs.
If that big bird egg could be eaten, it would be even more perfect.
He came to the beach again and saw that the seawater had evaporated, leaving behind some sparse sea salt crystals.
He placed them into the small sea urchin bowl and crushed them gently.
Soon, the preparations for the steamed eggs with sea urchins were done. All he needed to do next was to roast them over the fire.
At this point, they could no longer be called steamed eggs with sea urchins, but roasted eggs with sea urchins.
The people in the livestream saw all of this very clearly, especially when it was dinner time now.
In a restaurant, some people could be holding their phones and watching his livestream while eating.
Some others were constantly posting comments.
“This is no longer an island survival program?”
“Why wouldn’t it be? It’s just that his style is back.”
“David’s livestream has always been like this. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, far away from conflicts, living a leisurely life.”
“I wish he could keep living like this. Please don’t run into any more trashy people like last time.”
“No choice, this program is a test of human nature to begin with. If you don’t like it, you can choose not to watch it now.”
Every viewer had watched the previous seasons. They knew that as time passed, people’s natural character would be revealed.
Especially on this unregulated island, people could do anything.
They had already gotten used to those past programs and thought that it would be the same this time.
Who knew that someone like David would appear? He was simply out of place.
David ate happily. It had been a long time since he’d had such delicious food.
He ate slowly, filling his stomach while enjoying the delicious food.
He was now tasting salt after not eating salt for a few days, such joy was irreplaceable.
For the next two days, David’s livestream was filled with such scenes.
Many people got sick of it after watching a lot of it. After the novelty wore off, they didn’t find it too interesting.
They all left the livestream room to look at other scenes.
The main livestream would cut to different people according to the viewers’ feedback, striving to keep the viewers as they satisfy the audience’s hunt for novelty.
After some observation, the viewers realized that the participants in this season were all very formidable.
After reaching the island, many people were already prepared and had their own goals.
At first, they had been falling behind David, but after five days, some people had already caught up with him.
The audience discovered a team with three people, two men and one woman.
They split up the work, and in a short period of time, they had built a straw hut, found a water source, and even found freshwater fish in the water source.
This was equivalent to finding food and water all at once. They were by no means inferior to David.
The majority of the participants were alone. From their initial confusion on the island, they gradually accepted the difference and accepted reality.
At this moment, the audience also felt that David was just average.
He had merely been luckier at the beginning.
It had only been five days, and there were still 95 days before participants were allowed to withdraw
They didn’t believe that David’s luck would last.
