Wilderness Survival with Druid System

Chapter 51: Chapter 3: Welcome Banquet

[Please select the basic entry for this cultivation, or you can exit directly if you don’t choose]

[Current Inheritance Points: 58]

Select basic entry.

Looking at the entry pool with five colors, Chen Wen felt a bit helpless.

Not enough points!

Currently, Chen Wen only has 58 inheritance points.

The highest redeemable is just a blue entry.

His powerful purple and gold entries have become mere decorations.

Looks like I have to continuously engage in Wilderness Cultivation to level up and earn points!

Chen Wen sighed inwardly and began to select an entry.

He took a rough look at the entries he could choose.

Chen Wen didn’t consider white and green ones.

They were useless.

Chen Wen felt he needed a guaranteed entry, one that would allow him to survive for the long term.

After all, the longer he survives this time, the better.

Every extra day means a guaranteed five thousand!

Chen Wen looked for a while and felt that the blue [Enhanced Digestion Ability] seemed the most useful!

On one hand, wanting to survive on an island long-term is impossible without good digestion.

On the other hand, this entry is also cheaper, only 48 points.

After thinking it through, Chen Wen chose to redeem it.

[Redemption complete, entry activated!]

[This Wilderness Cultivation location is: Tropical Island]

[Natural artifacts plundered this time: None]

[Natural artifacts extracted this time: None]

[Activated entry: [Enhanced Digestion Ability (Blue)]]

[Current Inheritance Points: 10 points]

Chen Wen looked at his remaining inheritance points, feeling a pang of pain.

This time he must make up for the points spent!

He opened his eyes as Yan Bian sat over.

Chen Wen took the coconut he handed over and thanked him.

”The coconut was picked today, and it tastes pretty good.”

Yan Bian also held a coconut, watching the others who were busy: ”Our men’s group is divided into two teams.”

”One is the internal team, with Wang Zhi as the leader. Calling him the captain is fine. The members are Lu Heng, Zhuo Hongnian, Du Feng, and Gan Tieshan.”

”The other is the external team, I’m the leader, with members Zhang Hu, Lv Guocheng, and Bai Yachuan.”

”However, only Zhang Hu follows me; Lv Guocheng and Bai Yachuan are responsible for food, and when we are out, we act separately.”

Chen Wen nodded slightly, roughly understanding the operation rules of the men’s group.

”We hold meetings every evening.”

After a pause, Yan Bian continued: ”Meetings are to summarize the day’s survival situation, analyze and solve emerging problems, and appoint or dismiss the captain.”

”By the way, I should remind you that we choose the captain through democratic voting, and everyone must abide by the voting rules.”

Yan Bian’s final words were said slowly, as if implying something.

Chen Wen looked at Yan Bian and said, ”Besides these, are there any other rules?”

At this moment, Wang Zhi sat down, smiling as he said, ”We have three main regulations. First, individual members must obey the group and the captain; second, those who do not work shall not eat; third, priority care for injured members.”

”These are the rules we’ve just recently summarized.”

Chen Wen smiled and agreed: ”Having rules is a good thing—without rules, nothing can be accomplished.”

Saying this, Chen Wen took a sip of coconut water and scooped out a bite of coconut flesh.

[Plundering the natural artifact—coconut!]

[Plundering... Plundering complete!]

[Choose one of the following three entries]

[Big Head (Blue): You will often feel top-heavy and light-footed, making walking more unstable]

[Note: Sway~Sway~Shake~Shake~Shake~——Coconut]

[Tropical Plant (Blue): In hot, rainy, and sunny tropical areas, your mood will improve, and you’ll better adapt to this environment]

[Note: Sun, Beach, Waves~Cactus, this is my homeland!——Coconut]

[Withstand Strong Winds (Purple): You find it easier to survive in strong winds, which are less likely to interfere with your actions]

[Note: To live in the tropics, you must withstand heat and typhoons!——Coconut]

[Please make a choice within one minute or give up! After the deadline, the first entry will be automatically selected!]

Is the entry exploding this quickly?

Chen Wen was taken aback for a moment and reviewed the entries.

Tropical Plant and Withstand Strong Winds are both useful.

But which one should he choose?

Chen Wen hesitated a bit.

While the purple entry is potent, the blue entry offers more versatility.

Don’t choose the right one, just choose the expensive one!

In the end, Chen Wen chose the purple entry [Withstand Strong Winds].

Regaining the coconut entry made Chen Wen secretly pleased.

It seems that every time I survive, no matter if it’s with a natural artifact I’ve obtained before, I can get it again.

If he continues to survive where coconut trees grow.

Chen Wen feels he could acquire all the traits of a coconut tree.

Then, he might resemble a coconut tree more than a coconut tree itself.

He opened his eyes, drinking coconut water.

Chen Wen was also chatting with Yan Bian and Wang Zhi.

The conversation mainly focused on recent survival and the personalities of the group members.

Time passed, and the sun set into the western ocean.

As the island became enveloped in nightfall, a welcome dinner began.

As the temporary leader of the men’s group, Yan Bian spoke a bunch of ceremonial words on behalf of everyone.

Chen Wen was a bit baffled by what he heard.

Yan Bian chuckled inwardly: This is the basic quality of a tour guide!

”Lastly, let’s raise our glasses! Welcome the new member—Chen Wen!”

As Yan Bian’s words fell, the men’s group burst into cheers.

Everyone raised half a coconut, clinking it as if it were a toast with coconut water.

After the opening drink, the delicious dishes prepared by Chef Du Feng were distributed to everyone.

”Try this, it’s the Black Panther meat you left behind. I’ve processed it a bit further.”

Du Feng handed the meat skewers on bamboo sticks to Chen Wen.

Chen Wen took them and thanked him.

With the meat entering his mouth, a blend of coconut and a fresh sweetness filled his taste buds.

The sweetness mixed with a subtle taste made it rich in flavor.

Moreover, it significantly masked the gaminess inherent to Black Panther meat.

”Delicious! How did you make this?”

Seeing the surprised expression on Chen Wen’s face, Du Feng grinned proudly: ”It’s grilled with coconut.”

”Soak the meat in coconut water beforehand, sprinkle a little salt while grilling, and then drizzle with coconut water, like that.”

Chen Wen gave a thumbs-up: ”Awesome, as expected of our group’s recognized chef!”

Hearing Chen Wen’s praise, Du Feng became even more pleased.

He handed over a strange-shaped, crab-like thing to Chen Wen.

By the firelight, Chen Wen exclaimed, ”Is this a hermit crab? Where did you find them?”

Du Feng pointed at Bai Yachuan on the side: ”He caught them underwater. Try it; I pan-fried this thing.”

With knowledge of the men’s tools, having a pot was no surprise to Chen Wen.

But before eating the crab, Chen Wen needed to choose the Black Panther’s entry.

[Plundering the natural artifact—Indian Leopard (Blackened)!]

[Plundering... Plundering complete!]

[Choose one of the following three entries]

[Lone Traveler (Purple): You prefer moving alone and feel uncomfortable in group actions]

[Note: Only cattle and sheep flock, beasts always go alone!——Indian Leopard (Blackened)]

[Wandering (Blue): When you feel a lack of food, you will tend to operate in a larger area, enhancing your ability to find food]

[Note: Wandering is a skill excellent hunters must master!——Indian Leopard (Blackened)]

[Swift (Purple): Your movements become more agile, and your reaction speed increases]

[Note: Be swift!——Indian Leopard (Blackened)]

[Please make a choice within one minute or give up! After the deadline, the first entry will be automatically selected!]

Two purple, one blue, the quality is so high!

Chen Wen couldn’t help but think.

He decisively chose [Swift], to improve shortcomings.
