Survival male god

Chapter 156 Windfall
For the third time, Chen Jing didn't miss again.

The moment it entered the water, the harpoon pierced the sea fish's body like lightning. The eight-centimeter-long steel nail as thick as a little finger pierced the fish's belly. Before it could struggle, it was pried out of the sea and fell to the shore.

After landing, Chen Jing put the harpoon aside, and his eyes fell on his spoils.

In the next moment, surprise welled up in his eyes.

"Hey! Brothers, this is not an ordinary sea fish, does anyone know this?"

He reached out and patted the back of the big fish in front of him, lifted it up, and displayed it in front of the camera.

【"What kind of fish is this? It looks really ugly."

"Anyway, it must be a sea fish!"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know that this is a sea fish?"

"Isn't this a grouper? I really thought that everyone has never seen the world!"]

A sharp-eyed audience gave a relatively close answer.

Chen Jing smiled and shook his head.

"Half right, this is indeed a grouper, but not an ordinary grouper, you see..."

He pointed to the white spots on the fish.

"It's a snowflake grouper, a type of grouper named for the white spots on its body."

"Grouper is a common economic fish. It is loved and sought after by people because of its few scales, no cartilage and spines, and tender meat."

"The price is not low, the cheapest is five or sixty yuan a catty, and the high ones can be sold for hundreds of dollars. It is relatively expensive among edible fish. The more common ones in China are Dongxing red grouper and blue grouper."

"As for the snowflake grouper you see, it's quite special. Most people probably haven't seen it, let alone eaten it."

"The biggest characteristic of this kind of fish is hermaphroditism. They are females at birth, and some of them become males after they grow to a certain stage. This process takes about ten years."

"In the 90s and [-]s, the snowflake grouper was heavily fished in the Gulf of Mexico. Few of the snowflake grouper could turn into males, so they were endangered. Later, the local government had to introduce a policy to prohibit fishermen from harming or catching this fish."

"To this day, they are barely recovering, but the number of catches is still strictly controlled. If there is no relevant permit, private individuals cannot catch more than two snowflake groupers a year."

"It is conceivable how precious it is. You may wish to guess how much it can sell for a pound in a local restaurant?"

Chen Jing stretched out two fingers.

"A total of two hundred dollars, one pound is about nine taels. After conversion, a pound of snowflake grouper costs 1500 Huaxia coins."

"The one I caught now is 6000 centimeters long, weighs about four catties, and is worth [-] oceans."

"It can be regarded as a top-level ingredient. The most expensive Wagyu beef in Fusang country is only 2800 per kilogram, or 1400 yuan per catty."

Chen Jing was in a very good mood. This snowflake grouper was the most expensive fish he had caught so far.

And just now, he also gained something else.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the milestone achievement—Gourmet, collection progress: 5/10, earning points 2000×1, special evolution point +1]

Recalling carefully, it seems that the more precious ingredients I have obtained are not too many.

Counting the mutated black catfish, counting the highly poisonous lionfish, counting the white chaga, counting the alpine snow lotus, plus the current snowflake grouper, there are exactly five kinds.

As for other things such as wild boar meat, black ant eggs, various insects, etc., they can only be called mediocre.

With a thought, the special evolution points are consumed, and the practice is to distribute them randomly.

[Savvy +1]

"It's actually added to the comprehension..."

Chen Jing was a little curious. The three special attributes, charm and luck, were relatively easy to understand. As for savvy, he was not sure about its role.

Could it be that having a high savvy will make you smarter?

Chen Jing couldn't figure it out, and he was too lazy to waste time on such meaningless things. In short, the improvement of attributes must have only advantages and no disadvantages.

As for the difference, you should be able to experience it slowly in the future.

Just focus on what's in front of you!
The food is there, and proving your fishing skills are totally useful.

The next thing to do is to light a fire.

Although there is no vegetation nearby, some fire materials can still be found.

He had seen the wreckage of a wooden boat on the beach before. The hull had become dry and decayed under the sun for a long time. If he could find tinder, he could ignite the wood.

"There is no way to drill wood to make fire, because there is no suitable material to make a bow drill."

"The beach is full of fine sand, and there is no flint to be found. At this time, you can only use your brains, use your experience and ingenuity to try to build a fire."

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Chen Jing posed a difficult problem to the audience in the live broadcast room.

However, no one can give constructive opinions, and they are all unrealistic ideas.

For example, disassemble the battery of the mobile phone, use a short circuit to make a flame, or use friction to start a fire, etc...

"It's okay to use a mobile phone battery to short-circuit a fire, but it needs a blade to pierce the outer packaging of the battery, so that the current can be short-circuited and heated in an instant. With the tools I have now, I can't do it, and my mobile phone is very important."

"As for the fire caused by friction, it is a fantasy. If the temperature generated by friction is to ignite the material, it needs to reach at least two hundred degrees or even higher. Humans simply cannot generate such high heat with bare hands."

"This is outrageous, is there any other way? Think again..."

【"Are you the anchor, or am I the anchor?"

"It's really hard to make a fire, you can't eat it raw!"

"Call a brainstorming session to say yes."

"My head is going to burst..."

"big head!"

"Why didn't you bring a lighter?"]

Chen Jing sneered, pierced the alabaster with a harpoon, and carried it away.

"Hehe, it's better to ask for others than to ask for yourself. It seems that everyone is not very reliable, so I should find a way by myself!"

He raised his head, glanced at the sky, and immediately walked towards the wreckage of the wooden boat.

It is past three o'clock in the afternoon. Although the Gulf of Mexico in April is not hot, the sun is still a bit sinister.

I just got out of the water and only stayed on land for 5 minutes, my hair was almost dry, the power of the sun is really not small.

On the way, whenever Chen Jing saw rotting bird carcasses on the beach, he would stop and observe, and then take some down feathers from them.

"This is excellent tinder. It is dry and delicate, and it burns at one point. It is much better than hay balls."

"Besides, I've already thought of a way to make a fire!"

"As for how to do it? Let's keep it a secret."

After a while, Chen Jing came to the wreckage of the wooden boat, knocked on it, and soon got a pile of nearly rotten firewood.

After finishing these, he walked towards the sea.

"In this case, starting a fire requires a bit of luck in addition to creative thinking."

"After all, the conditions are limited, and many people will be stumped. This is normal, because everyone will never face such difficulties on weekdays. Over time, they will lose their subjective initiative."

"Think about the knowledge we have learned. It is three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sunlight is still relatively strong. Using the principle of refracting light through lenses, we can concentrate the energy of light to one point."

"Find the right place, and maybe a flame will be born."

Hearing what Chen Jing said, the audience suddenly realized.

This point is rarely mentioned, after all, it is almost elementary school knowledge, and not many people can think of it in a hurry.

However, once a problem is solved, new problems will emerge.

【"I understand the truth, but where did you get the convex lens? Use the glass bottle you just picked up to grind it?"

"When you finish grinding, it will be dark!"

"And after rubbing, the surface of the glass will be very rough, and the light transmission will not be good."

"Could it be that you secretly hid the magnifying glass, is this considered cheating, and you clearly agreed not to bring anything?"]

Chen Jing shook his head, and took out a food packaging bag from his backpack as if by magic.

"This is a packaging bag for some kind of nuts. It has two layers, the inner and outer layers. The inner layer is a polyethylene film with good ductility and light transmission."

"Using this thing and adding water, you can make a convex lens."

While speaking, Chen Jing tore off the outer shell of the packaging bag, tore off the film inside, and spread it flat on the water.

Then scoop water in the middle and finally ball it up and put it in the sun and point it at the camera.

After refraction, the dazzling light gathered in the center instantly blinded the audience's 24k titanium alloy dog ​​eyes.

【"Forehead eyes..."

"Blind, ah ah ah, lose money!"

"Awesome, it looks really good."

"This operation is 6!"

"I admit that Jingshen's brain is easier to use than ours."]

In fact, Chen Jing didn't expect that he would be able to come up with a countermeasure so quickly. He had never used this method before, and it was completely a temporary idea.

But seeing the sun, thinking of the packaging bag I picked up in the side pocket of the backpack, it seemed like a flash of inspiration, and a plan came into being.

Memorize, react, think, summarize...

Could it be that these thinking abilities are also part of understanding?
No one could give him an answer, but he felt, I'm afraid... so!
Tie up the membrane blister with string, leaving a length of thread.

Chen Jing returned to the place where the firewood was piled up.

Adjusting the angle, hanging the water bubble in mid-air, and constantly adjusting the height according to the focal point of the sunlight, so that the center of the focal point reached the brightest and hottest state, and he stopped just now.

"The dry down feathers of these birds are the best kindling."

"Next, I have to work harder, master the rules, and constantly adjust the height with the changes of time, so that the focus point is always in the most ideal state."

"I'm not sure if it will be enough to ignite these feathers, let's hope it does!"

"Otherwise, I might have to risk eating raw fish."

Chen Jing held his breath, half-kneeling on the ground, like a sculpture, holding a blister, motionless.

2 minutes, 3 minutes...the feather didn't change.

Chen Jing was also petrified.

Fifteen minutes passed, and it was still the same. Everyone looked a little anxious, and sweat gradually oozes from Chen Jing's face.

No. 19 minutes, just when the audience thought that the hope of successfully igniting the fire was low.

A wisp of white smoke emerged from the bird's feather...
