Finding strawberry seeds in something strange

That made sense. Her foot was injured, the snakebite stung terribly, and there was no sit-down toilet here. She couldn't squat at all, so managing to poop was already difficult enough!

"Guo'er, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine, just a little uncomfortable. I'll be okay after a bit!"

Just then, the system in Lu Zhe's mind suddenly sent a notification: "Ding! Important supplies detected: strawberry seeds!"

Lu Zhe was delighted!

Strawberries were one of his favorite fruits!

He understood that if there were strawberries on this island, their quality of life would go up several levels!

He followed the direction provided by the system. After walking a little over forty meters, he spotted a broad leaf on the ground!

The display indicated that the seeds were right underneath that leaf!

Puzzled, he walked over and lifted the leaf!

Dumbfounded. Devastated!

At a complete loss!

At that moment, he nearly died on the spot!

"Motherfucker, what the fuck did I do wrong to deserve going through this..."

Beneath the leaf was a little pit, with a small puddle of yellow stuff inside, a few black specks on it, and several pieces of snow-white tissue!

Without being told, he knew this was Tang Xiaoguo's handiwork!

Lu Zhe couldn't help dry-heaving, then understood!

Guo'er must have eaten strawberries not long ago, swallowing the seeds on their surface and bringing them to the island!

Because strawberry seeds had enzymes that resisted digestion, and because diarrhea had sped up excretion, they hadn't been digested by her stomach juices and had passed out of her body with her feces when she relieved herself!

Which raised the question: what should Lu Zhe do now?

Give up outright, or bravely find those seeds, then find them a good place to grow?

Lu Zhe's first thought was to give up and pin his hopes on the rescue team getting here soon!

But after thinking it over rationally, he shook his head!

What if the rescue team didn't arrive in time, and they needed to live here for a long time?

Life with strawberries and life without strawberries would be two completely different worlds, wouldn't they?

At that thought, he gritted his teeth!

Fortunately, the smell wasn't very strong. He could still bear it if he pinched his nose!

Next, he screwed up his courage and poked a twig into that pile of non-Newtonian fluid...

What a fucking exquisitely awful experience...

Soon, he picked out something resembling a sesame seed!

At a rough guess, it should be a strawberry seed!

He wiped off the remaining poop with the clean part of a nearby tissue!

"Ding! Viable strawberry seed obtained! Potential Points +1!"

At that moment, he felt as though he had narrowly survived amid thousands of troops and horses, finally claiming the ring that symbolized imperial authority!

It had been so fucking hard!

And there was more than one!

He kept searching, and before long, Lu Zhe had found over twenty strawberry seeds!

Looking at the strawberry seeds in his palm, still smeared with poop!

Thinking of being able to eat sweet strawberries on the island in the near future, Lu Zhe unconsciously let a small smile of victory appear on his face!

And that tiny smile utterly shattered his image!

"Lu Zhe..."

"Is that stuff really so fun to play with..."

He raised his head. It was Ning Shu and Lin Qianqian, their faces filled with shock!

He had no idea how long they'd been there. At that moment, they stood a few meters away, supporting each other and staring at him, dumbstruck!

Black lines covered Lu Zhe's face!

And thus, the most catastrophic scene of social death in history was born!

Lu Zhe sighed. "Um, you're not going to listen to my explanation, are you?"

Ning Shu shook her head in anguish. "Oh, Lu Zhe, Lu Zhe! What explanation could there be? I could think of ten thousand reasons and still couldn't come up with one for why a guy with normal values would play with a girl's... that! Looks like Guo'er was right! You really do have a pervert attribute!"

Lin Qianqian looked troubled too. "Lu Zhe, at least give us a reason, even if you have to make one up! Otherwise, everyone will be traumatized whenever they remember this scene."

Lu Zhe smiled bitterly!

Just look at this damned system mission. It had actually forced a model young man, well-rounded in morals, intellect, physique, aesthetics, and labor, to develop a pervert attribute!

Now, all he could do was tell the truth. Whether they understood would have to be left to fate!

So he adopted a relatively solemn tone. "I actually did this for everyone's sake!"

Ning Shu immediately shot back, "Did we ask you to play with a girl's poop? You usually seem so sunny. How are you so weird on the inside?"

Lu Zhe shook his head. "You certainly didn't ask me to do it! But Guo'er's poop contains a very important survival resource!"

"What resource?"

Lu Zhe extended his hand, holding out the seeds in his palm. "Look at these!"

Both girls screamed and took two frightened steps back at the same time, looking at Lu Zhe as though he were a dangerous man holding a satchel charge!!
