Chapter 8. Post-war organization

This is not a cheat!

Chris could only use one word to describe this kind of skill: against all odds! After realizing the power of the skill, he immediately checked the red dot on the map. Even though the thousand meter range wasn't particularly large, it was already quite good that there was still an enemy present after he had resolved a highly poisonous Silver Snake.

Chris gently clicked on the red dot, and instantly the information of the hostile creature popped up. He couldn't help but grin when he saw the pale yellow, dopey image. Surprisingly, it was the Concealed Chick! This wave was secure, and tomorrow he would stew chicken soup!

After confirming that the hostile creatures weren't much of a threat, Chris breathed a sigh of relief and closed the icon interface, turning his attention to the mysterious pet egg on the bed. It was rumored that this kind of pet egg could recognize its owner with just a drop of blood, which sounded a bit metaphysical.

Chris ruthlessly put his index finger into his mouth and bit hard, a few drops of blood seeped out from the tip of his finger and dripped onto the pet egg. The pet egg instantly absorbed the blood as if it was a sponge, and then emitted a slight fluorescence.

"Is this the start of hatching?" Chris curiously poked the glowing egg, which didn't react in any way, and didn't know what could hatch inside.

After trying several times to receive the pet egg into the system storage, he failed. He pondered for a while and suddenly realized: the warehouse should only be able to hold dead things. After fusing with his blood, the pet egg began to hatch, which was equivalent to having a life, so it couldn't be stowed away anymore.

Chris shook his head helplessly and looked out through the gap in the twiggy wooden door, it was already dark outside, the moon and stars were sparse. Roughly estimating the time, it was already ten o'clock at night. In order to ensure that he had enough energy for tomorrow, he put away the rest of his items into storage and lay down on the wooden bed with his pet egg in his arms.

.....

"Congratulations, you have managed to survive another day and are being evaluated on what you did today. (Survival Points +19)"

"Final settlement: you have gained a total of 104 survival points this day, with a total of 154 survival points remaining."

Early in the morning, Chris was woken up by the system's voice. He climbed up, stretched, and the first thing he looked at was the pet egg on his bed. It was already dawn, and the pet egg's fluorescence was no longer obvious, but it still hadn't changed in any way, exactly the same as yesterday.

Chris placed the pet egg in the middle of the wooden bed and covered it with 1 unit of plant fiber, then walked over to the side of the simple water extraction device. Looking downward, the iron barrel was already filled with clear fresh water! Chris was overjoyed and hurriedly cranked the windlass to pull the iron barrel up.

In order to prevent the simple water extraction device from stopping, Chris immediately consumed 1 unit of wood to create a wooden barrel and put it back into the well, after confirming that the device was working properly, he collected the clear fresh water into the system warehouse.

A fresh water symbol instantly appeared in the warehouse, followed by the unit: 1400ml! In the early stages of water scarcity, this was an exceptionally valuable treasure that could be exchanged for quite a few valuable goodies.

However, for now, it was better to solve the breakfast problem first. Chris opened the wooden door of the shelter and walked out. Not long after, he returned with a pale yellow chicken that was constantly dripping blood.

Chris weighed the chick, which weighed about 2 pounds in his hand, and revealed a satisfied smile. After cleaning it up, he threw the chick into an iron bucket, which served as a pot, added a lighter and plenty of wood, and cut a few pieces of baguette into it. Soon, the shelter was filled with the rich aroma of meat.

Despite not having any seasoning, Chris ate with exceptional satisfaction. After eating and drinking, he checked the remaining resources. The chicken soup just now used 400ml of fresh water, and there was still 1000ml left in the warehouse.Chris opened the trade list and prepared to exchange all these water resources for other needed resources.
