3 Chapter 3

I swear to you. Who created this system?

One, it doesn't show me my stats, or if it's increasing.

Two, you must make a stupid sign to open it.

Of course, I can open it silently, but the system could have told me how to open it.

Okay, back to our business.

I have 145 silvers. I don't think I'm going to buy anything right now. I would love to buy the python. Why would you say.

I want to buy it because it's style.

Yes, blah blah saves the money, blah blah, we don't know what happens tomorrow, blah blah.

It's my money, I use it as I want, shut up now!

If I want to buy it with bullets, I still must earn 455 silvers. That is 46 unicorn turtles. But I think you shouldn't kill so many because by killing them, I would level up, which will give me silvers but there is also the quest where you must kill 10 creatures.

It should go fast but the only problem I see is that this is the first turtle I see.

I was lucky to find it.

I could try to kill other sea creatures, but I only saw fish. I don't want to use all my ammo on fish. Especially since I'm not a sniper. I might miss a lot.

I have an idea. And if I cut a branch in point. Make a spear what. Okay, lance is a big name, but you get the idea. Hunting fish with a spear, yes, with a grenade, yes, with a gun, no.

Since I don't have a grenade, I'll go with the spear.

So where am I going to find a strong and resistant branch. If I just pick up a stick from the floor, it may be rotten, and it will break quickly.

The best way to find a branch for a spear is either a small shrub or a branch from a tree, but how am I going to cut it? With a stone? It's going to take too long.

MMMmmmmhhh

Wait a minute. I am stupid …..

Sometimes I think I'm stupid.

Now that I have a plan, I head towards the center of the island, where the trees are.

I quickly spot a branch that suits me perfectly. Not too fat nor too thin. Moreover, it is at my height. Luckily, I don't have to climb to reach it. The last thing I want is to break a limb.

Crack!

And here is a stick for my spear. I just need to trim it and I'm good.

Returning to the sea, I find a stone that will do the trick.

I sit cross-legged and start making my spear. Saying that is one of the first things to do in my situation.

For my decency, I've only been here a short time. In addition, I already have a weapon to defend myself. I didn't need a spear to defend myself.

After 10 minutes, I finished making it. The tip isn't the sharpest or strongest, but it should do the trick against vulgar fish. And even if I break it, it'll just take me 15 minutes to make an another one.

Now that I have it, all I need to do is try it on a fish.

Let's go fishing!

Along the edge of the water, I spot a school of fish swimming as if they didn't see the danger coming.

I notice that the bottom of the water is not very deep.

I'm not the tallest but there, I have foot.

I think it's best if I take my shoes off and pull up my pants.

I could just take off my pants but call you back. I woke up at the edge of the water, all wet. So, when I changed my clothes, I took off my underwear.

In conclusion, if I take off my pants, I have nothing underneath to cover my private parts.

Good end of chatting. It's time for action

I count to 3 and I jump

One.

Two.

Three.

Splash!

Damn, I miss.

Also, I didn't pull my pants up high enough. A small part is wet.

Great, I missed my target, and my pants are wet, finally a game.

No time to waste. I must find a technique.

DING!

I just had the best idea of my life.

There, just a little further where the fish were, I see that the level is rising. It's just enough for the fish to pass.

My idea is the following. If I wait for the fish to come back, I just make a wall of sand around them and boom. They are blocked.

Afterwards, either I hunt with a spear, or I empty the water little by little.

The problem with my plan is that even though it's not very deep where I want to make my sand wall, I still have to go around and at some point, the bottom becomes 20 cm deeper. My plan is possible, but it will take some time.

In addition, there is the tide so either the fish will move because there will be no more water, or they will remain blocked, but that would surprise me. Finally, maybe despite the tide, they will still be able to get out.

I think the best solution is to start as soon as possible.

If the fish were here today, why wouldn't they be here tomorrow? If a person answers that the fish would not come back because of a person who jumped on them in the middle of the water to eat them, I kill him.

Now it's time to work.

I roll up my sleeves and get to work. This wall isn't gonna make by itself

4 hours later

Well, I finally finished my trap. Now where the fish were earlier is surrounded by sand wall except in one place. The place where I did not put sand was not chosen by chance. This is the direction where the fish escaped. And on the side of the fish entrance, I made sand berms. As soon as the fish are in my diabolical trap, I should just push the embankments and poof. They are blocked.

Now only my targets are missing. I really hope they come back. If I did all this for nothing. I pull out my revolver and shoot anything that moves. Even the trees will go through it.

While I was working, I had a thought about this place. This place is a heavenly place despite my situation.

Here, I have peace, the sound of the waves is very pleasant. If I lay on the sand just 4 seconds, I'm sure I'll sleep.

And the sea. I have never seen such a beautiful sea. It is so clear that I can see several meters deep. Also, there are no large man-eating creatures. I don't know if this last information is a good thing or not in my situation. I really need to increase my level and earn silvers.

Too bad this place may be my grave. Well, it's still a nice place to die.

One thing I would like to see is night. I have always loved the night. For me, the night is tranquillity, it is beauty.

So, imagine the night here. I can't wait to watch the stars near the fire while eating something.

Looking at the position of the sun in the sky, I know that there is not much time left before night falls.

If I want this night to go well, I must make a fire. For that, I need dry wood.

If possible, I would like to find either twigs or straw as a fire starter.

Come on, if I'm not mistaken, night will be here in less than two hours. Well, I think.

I head to the center of the island to collect everything I need to make my fire

45 minutes later

Here, I collected all my components for the fire, and I chose the place where I will do it.

This place is just a few meters in front of my trap. As soon as a fish is my trap, I will know it.

Now all I have to do is light the fire.

How to do?

I have nothing to light this damn fire!

Why didn't the system give me a fucking lighter?! It was too complicated.

How to do ? How to do ? How to do ?

Two pieces of wood? Nah, too long

With stones? NAN, still too long

Come on, think. It will soon be dark.

I KNOW !

I grab my uniform and I search in the pockets for the object that will save me.

There I have it.

TADA MY PHONE

But how the hell am I going to start my fire with a phone you wonder.

It's simple, with the flashlight and a mirror. Go little, show everyone what you've got.

You really thought I was going to do it, confess hehehe

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to do that. Besides, I don't have a mirror and my laptop went into the sea for I don't know how long. So it doesn't turn on anymore.

Now I'm going to show you, mortal, how I, a genius, will start a fire from a smartphone.

I put my phone on the twigs that I have carefully arranged in a pile.

And there I pick up a very sharp stone that I found while I was gathering sticks and twigs.

And with this stone, I hit the back of my phone with all my strength

After my hit, I see some smoke coming out of my phone.

Quickly, I take some twigs and drop them on my phone.

After that, I blow on the twigs until the fire comes.

After just a few seconds, the fire is lit. I just have to put sticks where there is fire and poof…

TADA I have a campfire.

So, impress? I am a genius

If you want the explanation, I'll tell you. Lithium batteries never mix well with air.

When I hit my phone, I broke my battery and the lithium got in contact with the air.

How did I get the idea? Have you ever seen videos where batteries ignite?

My nerd past saved my life! Never underestimate a nerd.

Now all I have to do is sit down and prepare my meal.

I open my system and take out an MRE ration and a bottle of water.

Come to think of it, I didn't drink today, and I was in full sun.

So as soon as I see the bottle of water, I couldn't help but drink it in one go.

AHHHH

It feels good.

I pull out another bottle of water from my inventory and pour some water into the MRE ration.

Afterwards, I close the ration and just wait for the chemical reaction to do the work.

After a while, I open the ration.

Mmmmm, tonight is curry chicken. Yeah

I start eating the curry chicken while watching the beautiful sunset.

I couldn't find anything more.

Now it is completely dark.

The crackling of the fire, the sound of the waves, the dark and starry sky.

I feel like I'm in a dream.

Despite this magnificent view, I have to wake up early. Which means I must go to sleep now.

I hope I won't wake up with a bad back.

I lay down on the sand.

I close my eyes and wait to fall asleep.

With the crackling of the fire, the sound of the waves, the events of the last days and exhaustion, I fell asleep just after 4 seconds. I wasn't kidding when I said if I lie on the beach, I'll fall asleep in 4 seconds.

On that, good night
