Chapter 193: Deserted Island Survival 17

Seeing how protective Moira Lynch was of her food, the Black Wolf turned its head aside. "Awoo."

Fine, don’t share. Just hurry up with the next batch.

Resigned, Moira Lynch placed the second batch of skewers over the fire. The main reason was that she wasn’t full either.

Having now witnessed the Black Wolf’s voracious eating speed, Moira Lynch couldn’t help but pick up her own pace.

It wasn’t until all the fish caught that day were gone, along with half of the Titanbear meat, that the Black Wolf finally let out a satisfied burp.

The sides of its belly bulged, stretched taut and round.

Probably because it was too full, its usual prone position was uncomfortable. It simply rolled over, exposing its belly, and lay on its back with its eyes closed to rest.

Moira Lynch gazed at the soft fur on its belly and couldn’t resist reaching out to stroke it.

When her hand touched the Black Wolf, Moira Lynch could clearly feel its body go rigid.

However, upon seeing it was her, the Black Wolf didn’t reject the touch, even though it was clearly not used to it.

As for Moira Lynch, seeing her advances so readily accepted, she started to push her luck. She buried her entire body in the Black Wolf’s thick fur. ’This is so much more comfortable than the bed in the RV.’

The next day, Moira Lynch checked her complexion. It was much paler than the day before. ’Looks like the temperature dropped again.’

First, she checked the medical kit to see what new goodies had appeared today.

Giant Strength Potion: Instantly increases a person’s strength. Long-term use can permanently increase strength.

Giant Bear Potion: Strengthens the body. While granting the user the strength of a Titanbear, it also causes them to develop some of a Titanbear’s physical traits.

Hibernation Potion: Allows the user to enter a state of hibernation. In this state, all bodily consumption is reduced to a minimum. The user will awaken naturally when the weather warms.

Giant Power Bear Bloodline Potion: Allows the user to gain the ability of a Titanbear with no negative side effects.

Moira Lynch’s eyes lit up as she stared at the bloodline Medicine in the box.

Patience had told her about bloodline Medicine before. Even in the interstellar era, they were exceptionally rare, and a person could only ever consume one in their entire lifetime.

Looking at the Giant Power Bear Bloodline Potion, Moira Lynch had no intention of taking it herself. Instead, she figured it would sell for a good price in the shop.

After stowing the Medicine away, she returned to the riverbank. There were many fresh animal tracks around the spot where she had drawn water the previous day.

Seeing this, Moira Lynch decided to find a new spot. She wasn’t there to fetch water this time, but to fish. The Black Wolf’s appetite was simply enormous. Thankfully, it didn’t need three meals a day like her. ’Otherwise, I really wouldn’t be able to afford to feed it.’

The layer of ice on the river was much thicker than the day before. It took Moira Lynch a fair bit of effort to break through it.

One by one, the Razor-fin Fish were stored in her space.

At the same time, Moira Lynch took out the Titanbear hide she had processed the day before.

After air-drying in her space overnight, the hide had become quite stiff.

Following the Black Wolf’s instructions, she was to soak the hide in the icy river water repeatedly until it was thoroughly saturated.

For the next several days, Moira Lynch repeated this process: soaking the hide in icy water, letting it dry, and then soaking it again. She continued until the hide was completely free of any odor, which marked success.

"Awoo."

After inspecting the hide, the Black Wolf nodded in satisfaction.

"Awoo."

Now, go to the seashore and find a type of purple conch. Crush it and rub it onto the hide, and you’ll be done.

Hearing this, Moira Lynch took a deep breath. ’For the Black Wolf’s sake, I’ll put up with it.’

’It’s just a trip to the beach to find some shells. I was planning on checking it out anyway.’

Moira Lynch comforted herself with this thought. After packing up her things in the cave, she turned and left.

’I’ve wasted so much time here for this hide. It’s a good thing this game round is long enough, or I would’ve just had to tie up the Black Wolf and drag it away.’

Just then, Moira Lynch suddenly sensed something. Looking up, she saw several black objects slowly descending from the sky.

At the same time, the voice of the game system echoed in the ears of every player.

[Congratulations, players, on surviving the first stage of the game. The difficulty will now increase. To be fair, the game system has graciously provided several supply care packages. First come, first served!]

After the system announcement ended, Moira Lynch cursed inwardly. ’If they really wanted to be fair, they should lift the restrictions on our items.’

But complaints were just complaints. Moira Lynch looked up at the supplies floating down. There were twenty-something packages, but there were definitely more than twenty players on the island.

At this rate, there weren’t nearly enough supplies to go around.

’I absolutely cannot let those supplies hit the ground.’

With that thought, Moira Lynch immediately extended her spiritual power to its absolute limit.

She instantly pulled the five closest care packages into her space.

As for the rest, they were too far away, so she had to let them go.

Looking at the five boxes in her space, she saw they were of various sizes.

’Why are the sizes different?’

’Does that mean the contents are different?’

After opening all the boxes, she confirmed the contents were indeed different. There were thick clothes, quilts, coal, and other items for warmth; various foods, nutrient liquid, self-heating hot pots, self-heating rice meals, compressed biscuits, and two large five-liter bottles of mineral water.

The smallest box contained a backpack.

It might have just been a backpack, but it was small yet complete. It contained some food and water, an insulated raincoat, reinforced gloves for climbing, candles, a flashlight, storage pouches, a thermal mat, a multi-tool, and some medicine.

’The stuff is good, but my Universal Gloves can create most of these things.’

’The backpack itself seems useful, though. Wearing it might mislead opponents.’

’Otherwise, if I’m carrying nothing, it’s easy for people to guess I have some kind of spatial storage.’

She moved most of the contents into her space, put on the backpack, and adjusted the straps. It felt a little big.

Moira Lynch opened the two largest remaining boxes, and what she found inside left her stunned.

Inside each of the two boxes were four rockets and a rocket launcher.

’Are they trying to make the players kill each other in a firefight?’

’Rocket launchers have shown up, so there are bound to be other firearms. Looks like I’ll have to be more careful from now on.’

’What if I get headshot while I’m just walking around?’

Moira Lynch touched her head. ’While I know the soldiers from my own country aren’t skilled enough to do that, I can’t say the same for the foreigners in this game.’

’A Level 3 Helmet would be great right about now.’

Just as she was thinking this, a gust of wind blew past.

High in the sky, a package that had been drifting in another direction was blown off course, soon entering the detection range of Moira Lynch’s spiritual power.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Moira Lynch snatched it.

Seeing that this box wasn’t as large as the two that contained the rocket launchers, Moira Lynch felt a pang of disappointment. But when she opened it, that disappointment vanished in an instant.
