Chapter 7: Robbed Home
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At dawn, David woke up early to welcome the rising sun.
Sunlight shone on the surface of the sea. There were no ships passing through the boundless sea.
There were no ships in this area. It was very far from where people lived, and there won’t be any consumer waste floating here.
If he wanted to live here, he could only cast his gaze into the depths of the island and search for food and water right on this island.
David jogged on the spot for half an hour. It was a habit he had cultivated in the past.
No matter how tired he was at work, he had to keep up with exercising to avoid sudden death.
Now that he was in a parallel world, this was even more so.
After the jog, he picked up the wooden club and started swinging it.
“Combat Skill+1”
“Combat Skill+1”
“Ding… Congratulations, Combat Skill upgraded. Current level: LV 2.
More detailed techniques came to David’s mind.
Following these techniques, his skills could be improved again.
In this case, it seemed a little like a perpetual motion machine.
When he was done, he could guess that it was about seven in the morning.
He stretched and exclaimed, “A beautiful day has begun!”
As it was still early, the livestream was not as lively as it was yesterday. There were only a few people.
Upon hearing his words, they couldn’t help commenting.
“Seeing how relaxed and leisurely he is, I don’t even want to go to work anymore.”
“As a corporate slave, I actually envy his life.”
“After I’ve earned enough money, I’ll go to a small town in the countryside and buy a house. I will raise a dog and every day, I’ll go out to look at the scenery and fish.”
“This is practically living like an immortal.”
David didn’t know what everyone was thinking. He still had a lot to do.
That water source was very important. He wanted to check if there were any other beasts there.
The trip he had taken there yesterday had been too sudden. The sky was a little dark. In addition, he had encountered that young wolf, so his tempo had been disrupted.
Fresh water was the most important thing on the island. Nothing could replace it.
Therefore, he had to do a detailed examination.
Carrying the wooden club, he headed towards the water source, northwest of where he was.
Yesterday, the perceived distance was around 1,000 meters. Today, he measured it again. It was about the same.
It was not considered near, so it would be difficult to take possession of it. It was equally dangerous to build a house around it.
Fresh water was not only needed by humans but also by other animals. If a house was built here, his range of activity would be limited.
He glanced at the terrain and realized that the water source was slightly more elevated than where he lived. If he had the chance, he could make a covered channel.
That would allow the water to flow naturally to the ground where he lived. And by digging another larger reservoir, he could solve the problem once and for all.
He walked to the side of the lake and looked around. It was all towering trees and lush vegetation.
He moved slowly, then carefully checked the water source.
Right then, the director’s shot switched to another location. That was where he lived.
At this moment, a man and a woman appeared here. They were supporting each other and had wounds of all sizes on their bodies.
Especially the man’s calf. It was dripping with blood and looked to be in an extremely bad state.
They kept looking back as they moved forward and only heaved a sigh of relief when they didn’t see any wild beasts following them.
They then looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and spotted the hammock hanging between the trees right away. There was a wolf leg hanging from the tree.
There was also a fire burning slowly on the ground.
Both of them were stunned. They did not expect there to be natives on this island.
The woman was very pretty. She had short, flaxen hair and looked neat.
There were two scars and fresh blood staining her face.
Frida looked at the man beside her with extreme excitement. “Anthony, look what we found. There’s food here. We have food now.”
Anthony’s movements were inconvenient. His injuries were the most serious. Not only was his leg injured, but one of his hands was also fractured.
When he saw the meat in the distance, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva and looked around warily. “Is there no one around?”
“I didn’t see anyone. Didn’t they say there were only wild beasts and no natives on this island?” Frieda was very surprised.
They had only been on the island for less than 24 hours. They were unwilling to believe that someone already had food, water, and fire to keep warm.
They were a couple. In order to participate in this program, they had been studying and exercising for a very long time.
However, after coming here, they then realized that while reading gave one knowledge, practice was the real truth.
Bringing into action what they had learned was another difficult task.
“Don’t bother about it since there’s no one around. Go and get the meat. We’ll have strength after we eat our fill,” Anthony urged.
“Alright, I’ll help you over.” Freda supported Anthony over to a rock by the fire to sit down.
Frieda got up to bring down the wolf leg and asked, “Do you want to roast it before eating?”
Anthony shook his head. “Let’s eat it directly. The fragrance will arouse the suspicion of the natives. We are both injured and might not be their match.”
Freda thought his words made sense. They were tired, hungry and thirsty right now, and it would take a long time to cook the meat.
They would eat it directly to replenish their energy. Even if the natives returned, they would still be able to cope.
At this time, it was already 8: 30 AM in the morning. A lot of people from all over the world were on buses and subway trains, watching the livestream.
Seeing this scene, the comments became lively again.
“These two people have no ethics. They actually stole someone else’s food.”
“Look at the two of them, their injuries are so serious. If they don’t eat, they won’t be able to take it anymore.”
“This is the wolf leg that David risked his life to get yesterday. I thought he could have a good meal, but someone else beat him to it.”
“David, come on back. Someone’s robbing your house.”
Freda and Anthony could not care about the stench of raw meat. They could eat anything as long as they could fill their stomachs.
One bite for you and one bite for me, the two of them ate until their mouths were full of blood. It was a scary sight.
However, they weren’t bothered. Instead, they appeared to be even more excited. Their faces were filled with joyful smiles.
The scene switched back to David’s side, only to find him happily standing under a tree, whistling and plucking a kind of red fruit.
He checked the water source and found that there was nothing wrong with it. There were only microorganisms and some freshwater fish. There were no other ferocious beasts.
With a freshwater source, even if he had to hide and just keep himself alive, he could still do so for a hundred days.
Coupled with eating fish every day to replenish his protein, he could scrape through life.
At the same time, he also found the fruits hanging on the tree and was about to pluck them to see if they were edible.
He chuckled as he picked the fruits. “The tropics are great. There are such beautiful fruits, they would go perfectly with my wolf leg.”
When the audience heard his words, they kept sending comments, like some kind of loud cry .
“David, get back there. You’ve been robbed.”
“They’ve already eaten your entire wolf leg. You can only gnaw on the bones.”
“Why do I feel that he’s a little pitiful? Haha…”
