The moon set and the sun rose.
Morning light pierced through the window.
Cheng Ye turned off the alarm on his defense pass and groggily propped himself up.
The bruise medicine Master Tian had given him was indeed miraculous. After a night of penetration, most of the stabbing pain in his leg had disappeared.
The purplish bruising from burst capillaries was also beginning to turn slightly red under the medicine's healing effects.

4 PM in the afternoon.
Cheng Ye walked out of the checkpoint in a daze, looked up at the sky, and felt as if he were in another lifetime.
Who could have imagined that before stepping into the checkpoint this morning, he was still a poor wretch with a debt of 107 points.
After just eight hours, he could already pay off all his debts and still have some savings?
Wait, this comparison might not be obvious enough.
Converting it to earning a house in one morning and p...

The ultra-high pressure shockwave generated by the explosion struck like an invisible giant hammer, smashing in all directions, lifting and tearing apart tents farther away like paper! The air seemed to be instantly ignited, forming a hell of high pressure and high temperature.
Following closely behind the shockwave came burning materials scattered all over the sky, viscous like ghostly fire, splashing out like scattered flowers with the explosive force! They adhered to all combustible ...

Chief of General Staff Gu Liyang wore a crisp East Xia military uniform, the stars on his shoulder boards glinting slightly under the lights.
To stand out among various competing factions and reach such an important position, whether in terms of background, character, or ability, he could be called an outstanding figure among the middle generation of East Xia's military.
After quickly reviewing the materials provided by the old marshal, he cleared his throat and stood up.

The atmosphere at the scene was somewhat somber.
Chen Mo had a feeling that this group of people from the Cloudmist Domain seemed to be in very pessimistic spirits.
He still lacked understanding of the continent's overall situation. Names that thundered in the ears of locals were to him nothing more than NPC-like existences from a story.
The actual situation was that, aside from him and Lady Frost who was not well-versed in worldly affairs, the other several bigwigs from the...

The Crimson Corridor posed no real difficulty for the current team. Since the elf clan had opened this ground passage, they naturally didn't want to waste precious combat power here.
What now roamed the roads were only ordinary magical beasts and skeletal remains weathered by time, scattered across the ground.
An elite guard squad was sufficient to clear all troubles along the way.
They encountered no travelers on the road. Unless it was a capable team or a particularly urge...

Whether an automatic rifle could stop a fourth-tier Black Armor Rider after their professional advancement, Chen Mo proved through battlefield testing that it could not.
So far, the power levels Chen Mo had encountered were severely stratified. Either they were first-tier Copper Crest at the bottom of society, or they were first-advancement fourth-tier nobles who formed the backbone of aristocracy.
Just as Paven and the others had vague understanding of the power of Chen Mo's weap...

Ever since arriving in this world, Chen Mo had always heard that this continent, after enduring years of warfare, finally had hard-won peace.
The various kingdoms adhered to complex etiquette, carefully protecting this fragile time. Nobles were keen on elegant communication and complicated negotiations, while mercenary guilds became channels and bridges for resolving disputes.
Except for local border frictions and the annual orc autumn hunts, this vast human land had not heard the...

Chen Mo vigorously rubbed his eyes, confirming that the delicate little girl before him was indeed Lady Frost, the young countess of the Cloudmist Domain.
Then he cleared his ears and asked in disbelief, "You... what did you just say?"
"I think you're very interesting!" Lady Frost tilted her head, her big eyes looking overly pure, "So hardworking, and you know so many things! When I get married in the future, come find me, and we can have an affair. It should be very enjoyable!"

The Black Armor Rider had plenty of lung power, with a voice loud enough that even from several hundred meters away, his words reached the Cloudmist Domain camp clearly.
At this moment, they were in the middle of their daily "reading" session. The young countess was responsible for reading while Chen Mo provided "guidance." Although this book "Noble Etiquette" had long been recorded completely, to avoid arousing excessive suspicion and to buy time, Chen Mo still chose to have Lady Frost...

Day forty-six.
After a night of wind and rain, Lin Yu'an spent the time in narration and reminiscence.
Yesterday he had already recorded enough "weakness" material. Today, after recording a bit more weakness material, it would be time to record material showing renewed spirit!
When the first ray of dawn light tore through the thick fog, the sound of rain outside the shelter finally stopped.
Lin Yu'an also turned on the fixed camera to record.

Lin Yu'an curled up by the stove, the dancing flames stretching his shadow long across the rough stone wall.
He felt something was wrong with his body. Waves of cold seeped out from his bone marrow, his forehead began to burn, and his temples throbbed with a dull, swelling pain.
"Damn it... could it be that I caught a fever from getting soaked in yesterday's rain?" Lin Yu'an cursed silently in his heart.
His heart sank as he reached out with the back of his hand to feel his ...

Lin Yu'an picked up the stainless steel pot and added about half a pot of stream water.
"Sizzle—"
The clear water made contact with the scalding oil at the bottom of the pot, producing a slight sound as a hot steam mixed with fish aroma, oil fragrance, and water vapor rose up.
He placed the stainless steel pot back on the stove opening, where the burning wood in the firebox steadily provided heat.
As the water temperature rose, the beaver fat that had originally soli...

On the morning of the forty-fourth day, Lin Yu'an was awakened by an unusual howling sound.
He lifted the thick reed door curtain, and a strong, icy north wind suddenly rushed into the stone house, making him involuntarily shiver.
Lin Yu'an walked outside the shelter, facing the bitter cold wind, and pointed the camera toward the lake, "The situation looks bad, strong winds have started!"
The normally calm Chilko Lake was now turbulent with waves. White-capped waves whipped ...

The fourth episode's timeline had advanced to over thirty days of the contestants' solitary survival in the wilderness.
The harsh environment and difficult-to-obtain food resources had reduced the initial ten top survivalists to only five who were still persisting.
Each person had initially demonstrated extraordinary perseverance and unique survival methods.
In this episode, Lin Yu'an undoubtedly had the most screen time and was one of the most watchable segments.

Lin Yu'an wasted no time and immediately began his "new equipment" construction project.
He first carefully examined the chainsaw chain segment. The chain was about sixty to seventy centimeters long, and except for the break, all the remaining teeth were very sharp with no obvious rust.
Preparing the bow back required more thought. He again entered the forest near his shelter, carefully searching for suitable tree species and branches.
He finally selected a birch rod about f...

The next morning was still clear and calm, with peaceful winds.
Lin Yu'an strapped the logging axe to his back, shouldered his American hunting bow and quiver, then paddled the Pioneer canoe across the tranquil lake waters.
He skillfully used two homemade long wooden paddles to row, first heading to the river bend where he'd set the gill net last night.
From the canoe, he carefully observed the float conditions. The water surface was calm, with no signs of fish hitting the n...

Lin Yu'an had been in the wilderness for forty-two days. His food supply was adequate, and his mental state was good.
He still had some smoked fish, about a pound of smoked beaver jerky remaining, the sunchokes were completely gone, and if he rationed all his food carefully, it could last another five days.
So his recent plan was to catch fish, while the weather wasn't too cold yet and the river hadn't frozen over, he needed to work overtime fishing and catching fish.

At Chilko Lake, autumn was deepening. Though the sunlight still carried a hint of warmth, the temperature had noticeably dropped, hovering between 5°C and 12°C. Standing in the sunlight was still bearable, but once you entered the shadows between the trees or when a mountain wind blew through, you could clearly feel the chill.
The once lush, green reeds that had flourished by the lake and stream shallows had now mostly shed their verdant color, transforming into a vast expanse of with...

In the program, several experienced contestants began demonstrating their true hunting prowess.
Some captured more snowshoe hares and northern pike through ingenious traps, while others caught sizeable northern pike ...

He took a deep breath, calming his excited mood, then turned his gaze to the gill net he had woven a few days ago in his space.
Lin Yu'an returned to shore, turned his back to the camera to take the gill net out of his space, then displayed it in front of the camera.
"Previously, because I didn't have suitable tools to go into the water and set nets, this gill net hasn't been able to be put to use."
"Now with 'Pioneer,' I can finally deploy it to ideal waters!"

Early the next morning, Lin Yu'an completely spread out the military green waterproof tarp on flat grassland.
He carefully placed the completed canoe skeleton upside down in the center of the tarp.
He began pulling up the edges of the tarp, tightly wrapping the entire hull skeleton.
While stretching, he carefully adjusted the tarp's position and tension, ensuring every part fit the skeleton's curves as closely as possible.

"I have a new idea! I plan to use waterproof tarp, combined with some lightweight wood, to make a simple canoe!"
"This way I can more conveniently cast nets in nearshore areas or fish more flexibly."
Without delay, Lin Yu'an took his equipment and entered the nearby spruce forest, selecting suitable spruce trunks as frame m...

Today was the thirty-eighth day of wilderness survival.
Lin Yu'an walked out of the warm stone shelter, and the chill around Chilko Lake was becoming increasingly intense.
"Time really flies. In the blink of an eye, I've already spent more than a month here."
"Speaking of which, this season's rule restrictions are really quite numerous. Grizzly bears, fishers, female deer, all animal cubs, none can be hunted."
"For fishing, we can't exceed an average of two fish per da...

On the second day's morning, Lin Yu'an took the carefully prepared bait and headed to the locations where he had previously discovered signs of animal activity to reset his snare traps.
The locations he chose were mostly narrow animal paths through the forest or edges of shrub clusters, places where small animals were more likely to pass through.
"Today we're mainly setting up small ground snare traps, targeting animals the size of foxes and martens," he said.
He first cut s...

Then he began preparing the second, more plump grouse.
"For this one, I'll try a unique cooking method, mud and charcoal roasting. In China, we call this 'Beggar's Chicken.'"
Lin Yu'an found some fine-textured yellow clay near the shelter, added an appropriate amount of stream water, and kneaded it into a soft, well-textured mud ball.
The aluminum foil he had picked up by the lake during his first fish roasting came in handy again. He wrapped the entire grouse in it, like dr...

"The preliminary shaping of the arrow shafts is complete. Next comes the more detailed polishing and subsequent processing."
"Polishing removes fine burrs and uneven spots from the shaft surface, making them feel smoother and reducing air resistance during arrow flight to some degree."
"Then comes making the nock, which directly affects whether the arrow can sit securely on the bowstring and how smoothly it releases."
"Usually we carve a 'V' or 'U' shaped groove."
