Thank you to the generous brother for the 300 book coins reward, wishing you a happy new year.
Despite their repulsion towards the disgusting little objects, the two women finally mustered the courage to try them.
After all, they had endured even worse things.
The two women started to dig in the sand, imitating Su Chen.
However, after digging for a long time, they found nothing.
Su Chen shook his head, walked over and said, "Not all places have Sandworms. You can't pick areas directly exposed to sunlight. You need to find places shaded by trees."
Following Su Chen's guidance, the two women quickly found worms.
After hesitating for a moment, they finally held the worms in their hands.
"Actually, you can try the taste, they are really delicious," Su Chen began to tempt them to eat Sandworms again.
But Su Chen was looking out for their best interests.
Sandworms are tasty and nutritious; he would have dug some more to eat himself if he wasn't afraid that the boss would never kiss him again.
Holding the Sandworms, the two women had exhausted all their courage.
Where would they find the courage to eat them?
Moreover, they had just had a full meal and were not so hungry anymore.
If they were at their hungriest, they might possibly have eaten them if Su Chen asked.
The two women tried catching fish like Su Chen, and the few who had gone to get branches came back.
Each person came back holding a small bundle.
"But we don't have fire," the women seemed to understand what Su Chen intended to use the branches for.
"Hehe, watch closely," Su Chen said without elaborating.
He moved towards the branches and started fiddling with them.
What he was doing was simple - fire-starting by friction!
But though it sounded simple, it was exceedingly difficult.
Everyone knows about making fire with friction, and even before he woke up, the women had tried but failed completely.
However, Su Chen succeeded.
Using the same materials and the same method, they had not succeeded.
"Xiao Chen, you don't have a girlfriend, right?" Out of nowhere, Xia Yan, who was squatting beside him, suddenly asked.
Su Chen subtly glanced at Lin Xi.
He had a wife, but indeed, no girlfriend.
He nodded immediately.
Upon receiving Su Chen's confirmation, Xia Yan happily said, "I knew it. How could someone with a girlfriend have such quick hand movements."
Apparently, the married woman thought Su Chen succeeded because of his speed.
In reality, although the materials looked the same, there were differences.
Su Chen chose materials that were easier to ignite.
He wanted to tell Xia Yan that speed of hands had nothing to do with having a girlfriend.
But he thought better of it.
After all, flirting with another woman in front of his wife didn't seem too appropriate.
Then Su Chen set up a fire and grilled the fish.
Stranded here, the women finally ate cooked food for the first time.
Though lacking salt, it tasted like a delicacy from heaven.
It even brought tears to their eyes.
It was Lin Xi, however, whose eyes shone with admiration.
She hadn't expected him to know so much.
Eventually, Lin Xi reached a conclusion.
Su Chen grew up poor; poor kids take on responsibilities early, which is why he knew more than others.
Well, she decided she should give him more love in the future...
Su Chen naturally did not know what Lin Xi was thinking, but this was definitely a good thing for him.
The two other women, using the trap Su Chen had made, also caught a fish.
Then, using Su Chen's fire, they grilled and ate it.
Unexpectedly, the problem of food that had troubled everyone was so easily solved by Su Chen.
But another problem followed soon after.
It could be said that the women hadn't drunk water for days.
They were already parched and thirsty.
Now after eating grilled fish, they were even thirstier.
But fresh water was only available deep in the island, in the territories of the natives.
The natives were formidable, even armed with weapons, and many like Tie Niu had a hard time dealing with them.
Moreover, lacking containers to carry water, they could only wet their clothes, then wring the water out.
Although this method gleaned water, it was very little each time.
With water, they naturally satisfied themselves first before possibly sharing with others.
In the sea, freshwater is indeed very important.
Su Chen's Inner Strength had not recovered much, nor did he know how many natives there were.
Since even Tie Niu couldn't gain any advantage, Su Chen's current state was probably just slightly better than Tie Niu's.
Thus, he could not possibly consider confronting the natives for now.
But that didn't mean Su Chen was out of ideas.
"Actually, there is a way to get water," Su Chen mysteriously said.
"What way?" Everyone looked at him eagerly.
They were desperate to drink.
They felt their throats burning.
Su Chen glanced over the women and noticing everything was still with them, he smiled and said, "I have a way to get water, but I need a few things from you..."
"What is it? Just tell us!" People were getting anxious.
Now, they wouldn't mind giving even themselves, let alone things they had.
Su Chen glanced at Xia Yan, whose curves were most noticeable.
Xia Yan realized immediately, her face turning red.
Lin Xi also hesitated.
As a high and mighty goddess, it was unexpected...
The stewardess and female pilot also fell silent.
However, while the four women were still hesitating, the two women who had benefited from Su Chen instantly took it off without a second thought in front of Su Chen and threw it to him.
"Is this what you want?"
These two women, having gone through such experiences, didn't care about anything anymore; as long as there was food and water, they were willing to do anything.
