"Crack!"
A crisp sound echoed in the bamboo forest.
On the screen, after Jiang Fan kicked out, the bamboo shook violently.
The spot that was kicked suffered a fierce impact, revealing cracks that spread rapidly.
With just a gentle push, it instantly snapped.
Even though he had used this move on his first day on the deserted island, it was still shocking.
To save time, Jiang Fan, relying on his strength of 95, broke one bamboo after another.
At this speed, someone calculated, it was almost one bamboo every 20 seconds.
Soon, a large area was cleared at the edge of the bamboo forest, with broken bamboo lying on the ground!
The scene was as if some seal had been broken, fast and efficient, but easily startling people.
The two commentators in the studio were at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Liu Bei, the head archery coach, who had taken a break from training his team to watch the live broadcast, happened to witness this scene.
His heart was filled with disbelief, and his gaze became distant.
"This guy, not only can he participate in archery, but he might also be able to compete in weightlifting!"
Who on earth would kick down bamboo out of haste!
Loli, who was also watching the computer screen, was numb.
She looked at Yao, who made no move despite the approaching storm.
Then she looked at Jiang Fan, who was like he had a 'tree-kicking buff'.
Her entire being felt exhausted.
Forget it, she had accepted reality.
Indeed, masters always had something in common -
They were all quite abnormal!
One was Yao, who might have sensed something but chose to slack off.
The other was Jiang Fan, who made no attempt to hide his cheat-like abilities.
Loli felt like a new world had opened up to her.
She checked the other live streams, observing the constantly forming dark clouds. While she was shocked and felt a sense of oppression, a thought inexplicably arose in her mind -
'Perhaps the storm will arrive in less than five hours.'
On the deserted island, Jiang Fan and Zhou Niannian could not accurately predict the exact time of the approaching storm, they could only build their shelter as quickly as possible.
When Zhou Niannian finished cleaning the campsite and came to the bamboo forest with the paracord, an hour had already passed.
She looked at the 'once bamboo forest', her face a huge question mark.
'Who am I?'
'Where am I?'
'Have I gotten lost again?'
The three existential questions echoed in her mind.
She muttered to herself.
"This... this was a bamboo forest before, right? Why does it look like some monster has trashed it?"
The bamboo on the ground was gone, replaced by scattered bamboo segments. The jagged edges looked as if something had crashed into them.
It was quite frightening.
Zhou Niannian felt a chill and took a few steps forward to look for Jiang Fan. Then she heard movement from deep within the bamboo forest and walked a few steps further in.
She saw her teammate select a bamboo stalk and kick it.
With little effort, the bamboo fell.
Jiang Fan picked up the broken bamboo and, as if stacking building blocks, piled the bamboo stalks together.
He did it all effortlessly, as if playing a game.
Seeing this, even Zhou Niannian couldn't help but exclaim.
"Holy shit!"
In the live broadcast, many viewers were startled by Jiang Fan.
"???"
"??? What the heck? Jiang Shen is not pretending anymore?"
"I knew he was a cheater! On the first day he could still hide it with a stab, but now he's directly kicking down bamboo!"
"Sister Zhou is right, Jiang Shen = monster, hahaha, this strength is truly ridiculous!"
"No, even if you're in a hurry, you don't do it like this! This isn't a movie scene."
"Damn, he looks so thin, why is he so strong? This is unscientific!"
They all felt deceived.
Jiang Fan, at 185 cm tall, looked only 55 kg, yet he could achieve such a feat.
If this wasn't cheating, what was it?
Their young minds were greatly impacted.
Jiang Fan had no inkling of cheating. He was unaware of his strength after allocating points!
He only felt that breaking these trees had become easier, and he didn't even need the utility knife.
Even lifting the bamboo felt as easy as a child playing with building blocks.
The feeling of overflowing strength made him feel good, but when he turned around, he saw Zhou Niannian staring at him, dumbfounded.
The four bundles of bamboo stacked up had been completed without him realizing it.
"This should be enough. Give me the paracord, let's transport the bamboo back."
"Oh, oh... okay."
Zhou Niannian looked at Jiang Fan hesitantly, perhaps trying to see if he was tired.
But Jiang Fan's expression was normal. After tying the paracord, he easily carried three bundles of bamboo and moved with great speed!
After walking dozens of meters with the bamboo, he remembered he had a teammate.
He turned to look at Zhou Niannian, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing."
Zhou Niannian quickly followed, walking through the trashed bamboo forest.
Under the oppressive low-pressure atmosphere, her mood seemed to be sinking to the bottom.
Normally, Jiang Fan appeared to be carefree and indifferent.
At that time, she could still keep up to some extent and felt proud of it.
But now... after seeing Jiang Fan so casually prepare the materials for building a shelter, she finally understood the gap between them.
The all-out effort of an ordinary person and the all-out effort of a genius were simply on different planes.
She had decided to work hard before, but now it seemed like a joke.
A colossal joke!
"Ouch!"
Lost in thought, her forehead was suddenly hit hard. She cried out instinctively and glared at Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan, however, had already put down the bamboo.
"There's no time for you to space out. Go and use the knife to clean the leaves off the bamboo. We're going to start building the frame."
He seemed completely oblivious to Zhou Niannian's internal turmoil. Ironically, his calm demeanor made Zhou Niannian feel much better.
Her previous dejection vanished without a trace. Without a second thought, she untied the paracord, drew her utility knife, and began stripping the leaves from the bamboo.
Meanwhile, Jiang Fan began selecting bamboo for the frame of the hut.
While collecting bamboo earlier, he had already sifted through the vast architectural knowledge in his mind.
He came across information related to a place called 'Hukaluo'.
One of the construction methods there, surprisingly, was similar to ancient Chinese mortise and tenon joinery, but simpler.
Regardless of whether the information was deliberately guided by the system, using this unique craft from 'Hukaluo' was the fastest way to build a bamboo house.
He thought to himself, concentrating, doing his best to ignore the interference from the [Humidity Detection] talent.
After selecting suitable bamboo stalks, Jiang Fan first sharpened the bottom ends into sharp points. Then, about two meters from the bottom, he carved a small square hole.
He then carved another hole at a 90-degree angle on the side.
He treated three other selected bamboo stalks in the same way.
Then he took four more bamboo stalks, cut them to a length of ten meters, sharpened both ends into specific protrusions, and fitted them into the carved holes.
Seeing that he had started working, Zhou Niannian, after cleaning the leaves, looked over curiously and asked.
"Will this really not fall apart?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the assembled bamboo stalks collapsed.
Zhou Niannian: ! ! ! !
