The Heiress Strikes Back - Chapter 770

Chapter 770: Expanded Recipe

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yesterday’s mission was successfully completed. The next day, the production team did not assign any new missions for the time being. Instead, they let the guests rest for two days.

The next day, everyone slept in. After naturally waking up and resting, everyone prepared to continue searching for food to expand their recipes.

Their current food sources are mostly plants, and they have a higher intake of vitamins. As for meat, their meal is mainly made up of fish, and thus protein intake is relatively sufficient. However, in comparison, their carbohydrate intake is relatively insufficient.

Although they had found cassava, it needed to be soaked for a few days before it could be eaten.

Carbohydrates mainly provide the energy needed for one’s body. Sharon felt that her mood had been inexplicably low recently. It might be related to her insufficient intake of carbohydrates, so her urgent task now was to find food with a higher carbohydrate content.

“Let’s find some nectar today to replenish some sugar,” Sharon suggested as she looked at everyone. Everyone had only eaten a few wild olives this morning, and finding food was still their top priority.

“Alright. Eating something sweet will help improve our moods,” Melinda agreed.

“It’s been two days since we made the fish trap. There should be fish now,” Sharon said expectantly.

From time to time, crisp bird cries could be heard from the forest. They were crisp and pleasant. A breeze blew past, raising green waves from the branches and leaves of the trees. The scenery in the forest was beautiful, but Sharon still felt a little depressed.

After all, Man vs. Wild not only tested one’s experience and physical fitness, but also one’s mentality and ability to withstand pressure. Facing an unfamiliar primitive environment and staying away from everything familiar in a civilized society was indeed a big test of one’s mentality.

Sharon took a deep breath and tried her best to adjust her mentality. This place was far from the world and the greedy and vicious people she hated in the secular world. She should be happy that she had the chance to interact with the natural environment. She had to work hard to find food, to complete the missions, to survive.

“Sharon, what’s wrong? Why do I feel that you’re not in a good mood?” Melinda asked worriedly as she gently placed a hand on Sharon’s right shoulder.

“It’s nothing. I just suddenly feel a little sad.” Sharon smiled reluctantly.

Melinda sighed softly and patted Sharon’s shoulder. “If the fish trap catches fish, let’s cook fish soup tonight. Eating will help put you in a better mood.”

“Alright, let’s go find food first. We’ll check the fish traps tonight,” Sharon agreed.

The mountain path was a little rugged and the ground was uneven, so they were moving very slowly.

“The plant in front looks like a wild banana plant,” Shane said as he pointed at a plant with very large leaves.

Sharon also saw the eye-catching plant. “It’s a wild banana. The core of a wild banana can be eaten.”

“Let’s go pick some for lunch today.” Dan had already strode to the banana tree and picked a large leaf to cover his head. The sun was still very strong. Sharon broke off the banana pole, dug out the core inside, broke a section of the banana core, and took a bite. The banana core was very moist and tasted like grass.

Melissa took a bite and spat it out. “What is this? It tastes terrible.”

Melinda found the taste acceptable. It was better than starving. She felt that Melissa was still being picky at a time like this.

After everyone finished eating the banana core, they continued to search for food.

Melinda pointed at a tree in front and said, “The flowers on that tree in front are so beautiful.”

Sharon looked at the white flowers on the tree from afar. When she got closer, she realized that every flower was exquisite and elegant. The elegant flowers on the tree made her feel very happy.

“This is a white-flowered sheep’s hoof. Its leaves are very similar to sheep’s hooves, and its flowers are edible,” Sharon said. Although she didn’t find nectar that could allow them to replenish their sugar levels, their harvest today was still not bad. They found two more edible plants.

“Let’s pick some of these flowers. We can use them to cook fish soup tonight,” Sharon said. Just thinking about it made her drool.

Soon, it was evening. Everyone was a little hungry.

“Let’s go see if there are any fish in the trap now.” Dan felt his stomach growl from hunger.

“Okay, we’ll cook fish soup tonight.” Sharon was still very confident in their fish trap. If this trap could catch fish every day, it could provide a stable source of food..
