Hello, Admiral Akainu
Chapter 12
As I said before, I used all my scheming skills on Sakaski and tested his bottom line all the time.
Of course, it wasn't that I was tricking him. No matter how scheming I was, I wouldn't be tricking him.
Occasionally, he would just go with the flow. Just a little bit, he really did gain a little bit of benefit.
Just like now. He looked at me helplessly and I chuckled when he retracted his hand.
Coincidentally, the alarm I set for 9: 50 rang and I set another alarm for 9: 58.
Don't underestimate any Jinjiang author who snatched metaphysics. It was a combination of hand speed, countdown, internet speed, and understanding of the JJ server.
Of course, this time, the one who snatched metaphysics … Ah no, snatched the opportunity to send out information in an instant wasn't us, it was Sakaski.
I glanced at my phone and glanced at the clothes that A8 might send today. Pots and pans, spices, water bottles, curtains, blankets, and all sorts of other things. I suddenly felt guilty towards A8.
"Did I buy too much?"
"What did you buy?"
I kept quiet for a while and stuffed the phone into Sakaski's hands for him to see.
Anyway, there wasn't anything he couldn't see. He could see it if he wanted.
Sakaski was very good at using his phone. He swiped his thumb and scanned through everything. When he returned the phone to me, his gaze was complicated. "Are you planning to stay here for a long time?"
"Although I won't stay here for a long time, you can't just eat the bread and rice cakes I make, right?"
I was speechless. I rolled my eyes at his disdainful look. "I always cook alone in America. My culinary skills aren't bad. Please trust me. Thank you.
Although there are many things you can buy, you should have tested many of them. Some of them can't be bought from Bao Bao. "
"Yes, you can only buy the most basic daily necessities, tools, and medicine."
"That's right. I really have to thank them for putting the vitamin tablets in the medicine section. Otherwise, how could I live without any knowledge of plants? Septicemia is already bad enough. They can't even let me buy tea leaves."
I snorted and clicked on the world clock on my phone. I slowly calmed down as I looked at the countdown. "If you trust my countdown skills …"
"Sure."
"You trust me that much?"
"You look very confident."
"What if I can't succeed?"
"Then we'll wait until tomorrow."
She said, "Then, we'll wait for tomorrow." I pursed my lips and smiled. Most of the pressure in my heart disappeared.
Very good, it's time to show you my strength of snatching metaphysics and getting stuck at 02: 00: 00!
Oh, now that metaphysics is gone … it's the same!
At 9: 59: 42, the second hand started ticking. I stared at my phone as the clock ticked away. I didn't have the chance to check Sakaski's status.
I don't know what method he used to send the message, but it's probably another magical Den Den Mushi.
53, 54, 55 …
Then —
“0!”
"Crack!"
Bang!
The three voices sounded almost at the same time. My 0 seemed to have sped up a little.
Looking at the package that fell on the beach, I subconsciously turned to look at Sakaski and saw him staring at the Den Den Mushi in his hand. After waiting for a while, the Den Den Mushi opened its eyes and made a frustrated sound.
The message didn't go out, or rather, it didn't hit the right time.
I was a little apologetic. Just as I was about to speak, I heard him speak faster than me, "I should have followed you."
"Eh?
Wasn't I a little faster? "
"No, your timing should have been just right."
He shook his head and put the Den Den Mushi back as if he was prepared to fail. "Let's take it back first."
Oh … Oh!
Bring it back!
Bring it back!
Heh, heh, heh, heh. Of course, I, who is good at picking words, found the meaning of the word.
When I looked at the delivery box, my eyes lit up. Carrying my blue backpack, I quickly walked to the slightly bigger box and tried to lift it with a little force. I found that the box was indeed a little heavy.
If there were wheels, I would be able to drag it. If I was alone, I would have opened it and sorted it, then slowly moved it back and forth. But now, I have Sakaski beside me.
He lifted the box with ease. The difference in strength was directly displayed in front of me. It inexplicably reminded me of the time when I moved my dormitory alone.
My roommates had parents and friends to help them, but I was alone. I packed the boxes one by one, taped them, put them in a cart, called an Uber, and moved to the apartment.
Little by little, I was like an ant moving back and forth. After four or five trips, I finally moved the things.
It was tiring, so tiring that I didn't want to tidy up these things for a month.
Moving alone, seeing a doctor, eating alone.
It sounded lonely, but it made me feel that it was a very interesting life.
Now that there was one more person beside me, I felt that if I returned to the state of being alone, I wouldn't be able to adapt.
Humans are really social animals.
"Sakaski, I …"
"It's okay."
He responded casually. I pursed my lips, coughed, stood still, and said in a deep voice, "I have some things to deal with, you can go back first."
"…"
He silently walked forward two steps, and didn't ask me what personal matter it was.
Hmm, I have some personal matters to deal with. Why does this sentence sound like a line from the movie Celebrity Detective?
My personal matter was slightly resolved, and I collapsed from shame.
The A8 didn't appear at this untimely time. I silently found a place downstream to wash my clothes, put them back into the bag, and raised my head in pain.
Turn around. Ask Sakazuki for some lava to give my clothes a quick dry. Okay.
This time, I bought as much as I could from the huge pile of things I bought. I bought a lot of blankets, it should be much better when I sleep under them.
I also bought a door curtain and taped it to the entrance of the cave to block the wind.
After tidying myself up, I patted my face with water before going back. As soon as I entered the cave, I saw Sakaski had already set up a pot. He expressionlessly threw a bunch of vegetables I didn't recognize into it and started boiling them.
On the side was the salt and pepper I bought, and there was also a rabbit roasted on the side.
Wait, how did you collect so many ingredients and catch a rabbit in the time it took me to deal with my personal matter?
Using lava to roast a rabbit … hmm, it sounds like it's not bad?
He raised his eyes and gestured for me to sit down. I silently took out the two steamed buns I bought on the way back and started roasting them by the fire.
Eating roasted rabbit in the morning, aren't you tired of it?
No, it's not early anymore. Looking at the time, it's already 10: 30.
Lunch?
Hmm, sure.
I was in a daze as I gnawed on the rabbit leg that still tasted good, then I suddenly remembered that we were about to start living on a deserted island. At first, I thought we were going to survive on a deserted island, but now, what kind of life is this?!
It's like the program "Extreme Challenge" pulled Huang Lei and Huang Bo to a deserted island and didn't give them anything to eat, but in the blink of an eye, Huang Bo went into the sea to fish and brought back three abalones!
But — —
As a patient, I ate half a rabbit, half a bowl of boiled vegetables, gnawed on half a steamed bun, drank a bottle of water with salt and sugar, and opened a bag of peach-flavored gummy candy for dessert. Isn't it too … well, it can't be considered enjoyment, but it's a bit too much?
Ah, whatever, I'll take it one step at a time.
"Do you have any ideas next?"
Sakaski asked as I carefully ate the second gummy candy. I raised my head and looked at him in confusion, then said resolutely, "Sleep, I haven't fully recovered yet."
"…"
I guess he subconsciously thought that I had recovered from my illness when he saw how energetic I was.
Heh, a straight man.
"My next idea … Although there's a map, this island still needs to be explored.
Just like how there are strong and weak signals, there should be different levels of shielding depending on the location of the island.
Just like how A8 always chooses the seaside, it should be the weakest place. "
Although I criticized Sakaski for being a straight man, I still looked at him seriously when it came to serious matters. There was a questioning look in my eyes.
"Indeed, there must be a limit to how strong the signal shielding is. Just because it's strong here doesn't mean that it's the same everywhere else on the island."
"Yes.
Now we have food and vitamins, but we can't keep going to the underground stream to get fresh water.
I can feel that the underground water and stream should be seasonal. In other words, there's a high chance that they will disappear if there's not enough rain.
Since we don't know what season it is on the island, and we can't buy fresh water from the system, then it's very important to find another fresh water source — — if we really need a month to break the connection and go back. "
"Okay, is there anything else?"
I felt that he was guiding me, but I didn't hate it.
"Although we don't have to worry about food, as you can see, there aren't any large beasts on this island … Well, with you here, I don't have to worry about that."
I shrugged and looked at him as he turned his head to the direction of the rabbit barbeque rack and started to tidy up. It was a little strange. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
Oh, you're shy … I'll take it that you're shy.
"Lava's ability is really useful, it can start a fire at any time.
Oh, and I thought of something. "
I looked at him seriously and saw that his expression became serious because of me. I quickly took out a white XXXL T-shirt from the delivery box and threw it to him. My words were even more righteous than when I asked him what he wanted to eat first. "Change clothes, I'll close my eyes."
