Cleaning up

After finishing the meat preservation of the fish, Aries then put off the fire, picked up his belongings and went back to find his base since the system haven't saved its location yet.

While he was looking around the tracks he left going to the base, he saw some small bamboos along the way.

He did not hesitate to cut some pieces and made a 3 portable bottle and its length at least 7 cm. He went back to the stream to gather some water and left afterwards.

He was back on the big tree's location by around 3pm. He checks the surrounding first and was making sure no one had tailed him off. Aries then climbed up to the big hole of the tree branch.

It was a fruitful day and Aries was happy with how the things were going in favor of him. He personally checked the system looking at the character equipment menu and primarily check the status of smoke fish he just preserved.

**Stripe Bass: 3 pieces(3kg),smoke, preserved(2-3days)*

He knew that the preservation of the meat he did was far from the proper way of preserving it. However he could only accept this thing for now as he encountered some problems within the system. The Experience and Knowledge Tree.

The experience he had accumulated today was far from enough to upgrade his knowledge tree for him to access other preservation technique nor even unlocking some good materials itself.

But he was contented with the results as he did not have to worry about food for 2-3 days after the meat preservation. That is if he stay hidden on this place without scavenging for anything at all.

It is safe to say that the food is for emergency purposes only, until he finds other types of food that can be preserved for a long time or some edible plants or fruits to cook.

He was now thinking of gathering enough materials for his shack. Yes that is what he were planning of.

He knew that he is safe on this hole, but it's not really comfortable to sleep with a little space and twigs during the night. So he decided to build a shack down just beside the tree. But to do that he needed to make sure that the area around him is safe before making it.

He plans to clean up the place around the tree first. The tall grasses must be cut off. He could use them as ropes or a thatched later on.

"Light can you pull up my character status?" He asked

It seems that after eating and drinking his fill awhile ago it had restored some of his strength,agility, intelligence and health status by a margin. He can still endure the lack of sleep and exhaustion at the moment.

After checking his character status and seeing his state he climb down the tree and started cleaning up the surrounding area until it was 5pm.

He set up a fire just 3 meters beside the tree and roasted a piece of the fish he had kept with him. Once he was done eating, he climb up back to the tree letting the fire he made to stay alight in the dark.

He was not scared that there might be some wild animals that will be attracted to this campfire since he's as high as 3 storey building and safe around a hole.

It was now 7pm and he could feel the tiredness screaming out from his body. He easily closed his eyes and let this shallow night cover this jungle until he wakes up. Expecting more for good things to come.
