Sugar

Alex was neither surprised or unsurprised when he found the sugarcane, as the environment around the temple was strangely tropical.

He pulled the stalks from the ground, it was a small patch but it would be enough for his purposes. 

It wasn't like he was planning on sticking around here for long anyway, besides, it was all a simulation so it would all disappear when the 7 day countdown ended.

He knew extracting sugar from the cane would be a time consuming process, but he had no choice since the only other alternative, sulfur, wasn't an option in this place.

After he finished pulling all the stalks from the ground, Alex gathered all of them and brought them back to the small clearing where he had set up his makeshift workstation with his activity over the last few hours.

'This should keep me busy for the next few days…'

He found a sharp stone to strip the useless outer layer of the cane, revealing the juicy inner core.
