It was evident that her awareness of Lee Hyun had positively improved.
Lee Hyun replied honestly.
“If they work 3 months as a manual laborers, anybody can do this.”
“You also have an excellent sense of humor.”
Hong Seonye took what he said as a joke and laughed it off.
Seoyoon also looked around the temporary residence and her face showed she was comforted.
She wasn’t someone who can simply mingle with others. At night, it also wasn’t easy for her to fall asleep.
Throughout the duration of the MT trip, she was concerned over this point; but was relieved due to the comfortable and spacious house.
As such, it took Lee Hyun’s group half the time of the other groups pitching their tents to complete their temporary residence.
Although it wasn’t specifically anything awkward, Lee Hyun was fidgeting around because he had finished too fast in comparison to the other groups.
“Chaa, Let’s eat.”
Lee Hyun grabbed hold of the materials to cook the meal himself.
As usual, there was no other reason than that it was difficult for the rest.
He washed the rice in the pot, and set it on a crevice of rocks.
Then a bit after, he picked up the pot and set it below the trees.
“By the way, about the fire.”
Lee Yuu-Chong and Min Sura as well as the girls came over with curious gaze.
There was no doubt Lee Hyun’s actions further proved that he was a returnee in their eyes.
The reason for their hearts lightening up was mainly because he easily set up the house.
“Ima make it of course.”
“How?”
“I wonder if I have some tool to make it easier…”
Lee Hyun wondered for a moment.
If he had a magnifying glass, then it was possible with the use of the sun’s rays and have it directed it a paper to make fire.
It was easily the easiest and most comfortable method.
‘Don’t have a magnifying glass, but there is a roundabout way to do it.’
He brought the clear vinyl to take advantage of them and create a habitat.
He could also use it to fill it with water to collect the rays.
But it’d be a bit tricky, since he’ll have to tear off some of the vinyl he used earlier.
“Then we’ll just use wood to start a fire.”
Lee Hyun looked for a suitable tree.
On a piece of dry wood, he put a bit of some dry grass, then used a dry branch and rubbed it back and forth.
He did not forget to blow on it to refresh the oxygen in the bundle.
Chiiiiiiii.
Pretty soon after, a thick bluish smoke preceded the coming fire.
Although it seemed like an easy thing to do; if one lacked the experience, it was absolutely not an easy task.
‘Done it plenty in Royal Road is all.’
When he was at the novice level, he didn’t have the money to get flint. Thus, he spent time rubbing branches to make fire.
Complete devotion to spare a penny!
Later in reality, he tried to do the same thing as his memories entailed.
He was a Sculptor in Royal Road.
In real life also, sometimes, he would suddenly get the urges to make a fire out of wood as practice while he was shearing trees.
The first few times he failed plenty in succession, at the end of a four hours long endeavor that he could finally produce fire.
The Sculptor class brought him another advantage!
He used those experiences to kindle this fire.
“Wah!”
The group members were amazed while watching the flame.
In the usual case, one can use a readily available lighter to make a fire; but in this case, the speculation of creating a fire outdoor gave a different atmosphere.
Lee Hyun used that fire to cook the meal.
The given meal time was two hours due to condition set forth to make and keep the fire lit.
With the generous amount of time given, he leisurely took his time to boil the pork.
They could also boil the ham hocks to eat too.
“Ah, I’m hungry.”
“C’mon and boil!”
The other groups hurriedly took out their burners and cookware to boil water.
However, there was one thing they needed to first.
They were busy clamoring about with painful blisters forming while rubbing the wood.
“Can’t do it, it’s tough…”
“Copy that group over there.”
At the end of the groups’ suffering, using camera lens and such tools, they made a meal of ramen with their kindled fire.
Nevertheless, there were many groups that could not eat.
Because from then on, it was time for the training course of hell.
