Chapter 275 - Lin Yi and the Caveman
Yushu shook her head as she stood up, not wanting to think about all that nonsense anymore. "You're back, Shield Bro. Do you need my help?"
Yushu didn't want to be a parasite that only knew how to eat. She wouldn't just stand by and watch if she could help.
"Look around the beach and see if there's any glass bottles or something like that. Thin wire works too if there's none." Lin Yi said as he tossed the branch onto the sand.
"Oh, why do you need a bottle and wire?" Yushu asked, confused.
"The bottom of the bottle can be used as a magnifying glass to start a fire, and the wire can be used to hang the fish." Lin Yi explained as he went to clean up the shark.
Yushu nodded. She'd learned all of this in physics class before, but she'd never thought about putting it to use. Still, Yushu asked, "Can't we start a fire by drilling wood?"
"Yeah, but it's a pain in the ass." Lin Yi said as he tossed the shark aside and started cleaning its innards.
Yushu walked around the beach, not daring to go too far. She didn't find any glass bottles, but only a couple of rusted wires. She didn't know which fishing boat it was from, but it had washed up here.
"Shield Bro, looks like you really need to start a fire by drilling wood … …" Yushu said as she handed the wires to Lin Yi.
"Ah … …" Lin Yi smiled bitterly. "Alright, I'll spin the sticks quickly later, and you can help me blow at them."
"Oh, okay." Yushu nodded. Drilling wood to start a fire was something she'd learned in history class before, and she remembered the general process.
The branches were too brittle, probably because it hadn't rained in a long time. They couldn't take too much force, and Lin Yi found two of them, breaking them with a little force.
"Lin Yi, you think it's fun to start a fire this way?" Jiao Lao's voice sounded beside Lin Yi's ear all of a sudden.
"Jiao Lao?" Lin Yi blinked, a bitter smile on his face. "How am I supposed to start a fire if I don't do that?"
"When you drill wood, just chant the first stage of the Art of Dragon Mastery, and the energy in your body will be transferred to the wood in your hand!" Jiao Lao said.
"That works?" Lin Yi was a little taken aback, not expecting that energy in his body could do something like that.
"I've already told you. As long as you're in contact with something that needs energy, you'll transfer the energy from your body to it!" Elder Jiao explained.
"Ugh … I know, I know that, but what I'm trying to say is, you can do that?" Lin Yi was still in disbelief.
"Don't you know about the law of conservation of energy? Energy can change from one form to another, and the energy in your body is omnipotent and pure. It can be changed into the energy of anything in the world. "Jiao Lao said with disdain. Lin Yi was speechless at Lin Yi's ignorance.
"Huh?" Lin Yi didn't expect the energy in his body to be so useful. "Can I use it to replace gasoline when the car runs out of gas?"
"Nope." Jiao Lao poured a bucket of cold water on Lin Yi's head. "The energy in your body can indeed be changed into the kinetic energy of the engine, but it can't be changed into gasoline! If you have the ability to connect your hand to the engine while the car is moving, you might be able to do that …. "
"Ugh … …" Lin Yi was speechless- it seemed like he was thinking too much. Still, the information Lin Yi had was enough to make him happy. According to what Jiao Lao said, Lin Yi channeled the Art of Dragon Mastery and transferred the energy in his body to the wood through his hands …
"Fuuu …" The branch in Lin Yi's hand caught fire all of a sudden, scaring Yushu, who was blowing at it. She almost burned her hair.
"Ah, that scared the hell out of me!" Yushu quickly dodged to the side, patting her chest. "Shield Bro, that scared the hell out of me! How did the fire start all of a sudden? There's no warning at all!"
"What kind of warning could there be?" Lin Yi himself was shocked as well- this fast? In fact, it was this fast.
"I've read in the history books that primitive people used to drill wood to start a fire. They'd smoke first, and then the fire would start slowly. I didn't know it was this fast!" Yushu wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. "But maybe it's because you're too strong, Shield Bro! You're even stronger than the primitive people!"
"......" Lin Yi wanted to ask- was that a compliment? This comparison really left one speechless.
"You add firewood, I'll go get the shark." Lin Yi left things here to Yushu and walked over to the shark. He used a knife to cut the shark meat into small pieces and soaked them in the seawater. The goal was to wash off the mud and sand, and let the seawater seep in as well. That way, the meat would have some flavor to it, and wouldn't be completely tasteless.
After washing it, Lin Yi threaded the meat through the wire Yushu brought back and walked back to Yushu's side. "Shield Bro, what are we doing now? I'm done! "
Lin Yi handed the skewer of fish to Yushu. "Hold it for me for a while."
Lin Yi found two of the longest twigs in the pile behind him and stuck them into the sand next to the fire, hanging the skewer in Yushu's hands. "It'll be ready in a while, but don't eat too much, there's no water."
It didn't take long for the meat to be cooked, and Yushu couldn't help but gulp. "Shield Bro, is it ready?"
"Yeah, it's fine if it's a little raw, it'll just cause diarrhea." Lin Yi said as he flipped the shark meat over with the twigs.
"Let's wait a while then … …" Yushu's face paled at the mention of diarrhea. There was no toilet here, and there was no toilet paper. Wouldn't Shield Bro see her if she did that? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
"Ha … …" Lin Yi smiled as he took the wire down. "It's ready now. You eat the middle one, it's cooked."
"Oh … …" Yushu picked up a piece of shark meat with a branch and pulled it off the wire, impatiently putting it to her mouth. She took a small bite and swallowed it whole. The shark's bones were bigger than the rest, and he'd already removed them from the meat. She didn't have to worry about the bones getting stuck in the meat.
