"I can finally rest tonight."
Rosa said with a look of enjoyment, lying on the dry leaves.
Although not as comfortable as their bedding at home, it is already much better compared to other contestants.
A bonfire separated them, and on top of the shelter hung some pieces of fruit left to dry.
The supplies are also arranged neatly in the backpack for easy access if there's an emergency.
"This is not bad."
Edward looked at everything in the shelter and felt very comfy.
...
After eating dinner, he took off his navigear and placed it near the entrance of the shelter.
This is one of the task requirements. It is mainly to let the researchers observe the nearby environment to see if there are any nocturnal wild beasts passing by.
'Hey, Silcoon is level 9!'
When Edward swept over, he was relieved to see Silcoon on the verge of evolution.
For Silcoon, this is the most precious time to accumulate a lot of energy for evolution. Although, it might take a long time before it evolves.
It's basically impossible for it to train like Torchic.
Torchic snuggled into Edward's arms.
As a girl, Rosa's physical strength is not as good as Edward's. So after walking for a whole day, she quickly fell asleep.
Edward also felt tired after going through the ordeal.
Under such circumstances, the two spent a very peaceful night.
The shelter is quite warm and comfy because of the bonfire.
The next morning.
The two got up early and started to get ready for the next journey.
They had a quick wash and ate some dry food they packed before, and the two were on their way again.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
....
"You really like to hold it. huh?"
Edward said, looking at Silcoon in Rosa's arms.
Rosa also looked down at Silcoon.
"Its silk threads are very comfortable."
"Guess what it will turn into?"
Edward asked her.
Walking for a long time is a bit boring, so he chooses to find a topic to chat about with Rosa.
"Well, most moths or butterflies come from pupae, but we can't think of them like ordinary creatures."
Rosa stated her opinion but did not give an accurate answer.
The audience also started to offer their opinions hearing Edward's question.
[Im betting it's gonna change into a giant beetle.]
[Wrong. I bet it's gonna turn into a butterfly.]
...
The audience is putting on a good show.
Edward couldn't help but smile when he saw the live commentaries. "These viewers are quite entertaining. Let's hurry up and complete the task."
"Well, we spent a day exploring the volcano region and live-streamed the situation at night. So, that's two tasks completed."
"The rest of uncompleted tasks is to record ten wild beasts living in the volcano region, explore one of the designated caves, and survive in the volcano region for ten days."
Rosa said while checking the task section on her watch.
There are a total of five tasks in the volcano region. And only two tasks have been successfully completed.
"Well, the last one can be completed in about ten days. Let's go to the designated cave first. We should be able to record ten beasts on the way."
Edward nodded and said to her.
Afterward, the two started a long journey through the valley.
They arrived at a massive lake near noon after going through the jungle.
