"Since I have lived here safely for a month, it is not a bad idea to live here for a few more months. As long as I am no longer close to that valley, the crisis should be controllable."

"I have to hunt down the golden electric eel as soon as possible to strengthen myself..."

Near the crackling fire, Zhang Ming no longer had much panic when his mental value kept shifting and kept rising to [50/80].

He stopped transferring attributes and sighed softly.

"Without Goldfinger, I might have gone crazy."

Spirit, the most mysterious and complex attribute, is also the one with the largest fluctuation value.

A higher spirit can bring courage, positivity and optimism. The only thing that cannot be dispelled is the damn loneliness.

He, Lao Zhang, is not a robot after all. No matter how high his mental level is, he will occasionally want to be alone in the dead of night.

Radio: "A serious leak occurred in the northern gas field during the earthquake, and a large amount of methane entered the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect of methane is 120 times that of carbon dioxide. Experts estimate that the global greenhouse effect will be greatly enhanced, and the melting of the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers will accelerate."

"If the glaciers completely melt, sea levels will rise by 66 meters, and most of the world's coastal cities will be submerged."

The surrounding turtles listened to the radio with great interest. In fact, they couldn't understand human language at all. In other words, they thought the "chirping" sound was interesting and enjoyable.

"There is only one way to become stronger - eat!"

"I'm going to eat now!"

The turtles suddenly saw Zhang Ming throwing a lot of plants from his backpack. They stretched their necks one by one and surrounded them with a "clatter".

"Can you tell me which plants are edible?" Zhang Ming asked.

As a result, turtles are unwilling to eat most plants.

As animals living in the ocean, land plants are not part of their diet.

Those pairs of dark eyes stared over, as if to express: You guys used to feed some crab shells, but today you only feed bark and grass roots?

Too stingy!

Where is your conscience? It's so bad!

The turtle's plan to taste the herbs seemed to have failed. Zhang Ming did not feel any embarrassment. Instead, he cursed with a stinking face: "What's the point of raising you? What if I eat the grass myself and get poisoned?" ?Do you take care of me?"

"I'm in a bad mood today. If I'm poisoned, I'll have a mental breakdown. If I break down, I'll kill a turtle to try it!"

Of course, it was just a joke. He knew that these turtles could only read expressions and could not understand human speech.

But at least, [Spiritual Value +1]

If he was to let him taste the herbs himself, he would have to raise all three attributes of physique, perception, and spirit to over 100 points to be safe enough.

Currently there are simply not so many attribute points.

Zhang Ming made a few more moves like having diarrhea and foaming at the mouth. He also drew a few images of people who died after eating grass in his notebook. These stupid turtles were stunned for a moment.

In the end, the smartest little white turtle seemed to realize what this guy was expressing.

The little white jade turtle, which was only as big as a fist, happily climbed forward, moved a few of the bright leaves aside, and then made a gesture of lying on all fours with its legs in the air and foaming at the mouth.

Zhang Ming's heart moved and he became excited: "You mean, only these few grasses are poisonous, and the others are not poisonous?"

The little white turtle happily made vomiting movements, looking like it was dying.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Can you tell if food is poisonous?"

"Ahhhhhh!"

"As long as it's not poisonous, I can have a taste myself."

The little white turtle became more and more cheerful and kept selecting. Soon, he picked out the potentially poisonous items.

Among the remaining non-toxic plants, Zhang Ming used a knife to cut off a small piece of tree root, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it a few times.

Close your eyes and feel the taste changes with the abundant neurons on the tip of your tongue.

I just felt that the root was bitter and astringent, not like something edible, so I spit it out quickly.

It is not toxic, but has no special effects.

In fact, most plants are like this. They are not poisonous, but they cannot be eaten.

I cut off a small piece of leaf and put it in my mouth. How can I describe the taste... It smelled like a bunch of bedbugs. My nose buzzed and a stench poured in.

He spat it out again with a "poof" sound.

[Spirit value-1]

Lao Zhang scratched his scalp and thought, and threw the smelly leaf into the fire and burned it.

I tried it one by one and found a few good things.

One is bark, which is like fennel, exudes a light medicinal fragrance, and can also bring mysterious heat to the body.

What Zhang Ming values ​​most is its seasoning function, which can remove the fishy smell of seafood and is perfect for cooking!

The other is a green fruit - spicy!

It's incredibly spicy!

The moment I cut it open with a knife, the pungent spicy smell hit Tianling Gai, making me choke to tears.

Licking the clear liquid on the tip of the knife with the tip of his tongue, Zhang Ming suddenly found that his "tongue" had disappeared.

The most powerful chili peppers cannot be tasted spicy at first, because the nervous system will be confused in an extreme state - what did you eat, I am dizzy, you can play with it by yourself!

Then, strike for a few seconds.

Then the spiciness slowly extended along the tongue to the throat, one wave after another, overwhelming and continuous.

At this moment, Zhang Ming was in this extremely hot state. He stuck out his tongue and breathed incessantly, tears and mucus pouring out of his nose.

It’s really super hot pepper...

My whole body was numb!

"Isn't it the chili pepper grown by the local indigenous people?"

But the appearance of this green chili pepper made him so happy that he couldn't help but smile with joy.

[Spirit value +1+1+1]

He finally... finally had the ingredients to cook!

Tears welled up all of a sudden. I don't know whether it was because of the burning sensation or because of the ecstasy in my heart.

"Twists and turns, a day worth remembering!"

"It's worth the risk I took!"

What's more, just a little bit of chili juice caused a huge heat flow in his body!

This thing is definitely a more nutritious natural treasure than crab meat!

That means a lot of attribute points!

After more than a month of survival in the wilderness, I was really fed up with the damn watery soup. Birds almost faded out of my mouth. With bark, chili peppers, and sea salt...

All the delicious food in the world is at my disposal!

High spirits, inexplicably optimistic.

Lao Zhang deeply felt that he might not be normal anymore.

If he were an ordinary person, there would be a Devil's Valley next door, and he might be uneasy, curious, and excited. But he not only accepted this fact, but he immediately lay down and enjoyed his food in the camp.

"It seems to be no different from these turtles?"

Those turtles who were good at observing people noticed Zhang Ming's eyes filled with tears and thought he was eating alone, so they all yelled "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa".

They mean that we want to eat the green fruit.

You can't take it all by yourself, give some to us turtles!

We turtles are very greedy. Don’t you understand the principle that turtles will die for money and for food?

In particular, the little white turtle bit his trouser leg directly and screamed unceremoniously, so cute and fierce.

"Uh-huh?"

Be sensible, young man, and behave yourself.

Zhang Ming was not stingy. He cut a little bit of the green fruit with a knife. He was afraid that it would be really spicy, so he threw the small piece into the water and diluted it.

Then, I fed the little white turtle a little diluted chili pepper water.

"King of turtles, come on, be the first to enjoy the delicious food."
