Lu Sheng took the large package she got, and inside, it was packed full—with roll after roll of plastic wrap.
Some items could be useless, sure, but plastic wrap? On a deserted island? That’s just way too useless, isn’t it??
In everyone else’s eyes, what is plastic wrap usually used for?
Leftover food and freshly cut fruits, sealed with plastic wrap, can stay fresh longer.
But on a deserted island, where would they find steaming hot food or fresh fruits that needed preserving? What use could plastic wrap have here?
The people around her were a mix of shocked, amused, and worried—concerned that they might also get something just as useless later on.
The live chat was full of sighs and pity, all feeling Lu Sheng really hit a bad streak of luck.
Yet when Lu Sheng saw what was in the bag, her expression didn’t waver much at all.
She calmly picked up the bag and carried it back.
When Lan Yu and the others saw that Lu Sheng’s bag was full of plastic wrap, their first reaction was to comfort her.
"Don’t worry, Shengsheng. There are five of us, after all. As long as the rest of us manage to pick something useful, we’ll be fine," Lan Yu said to Lu Sheng.
"Exactly," Lu Youye threw an arm around Lu Sheng’s shoulders and couldn’t help but complain, "But honestly, what’s wrong with this production team? Giving us something like plastic wrap—it’s just way too useless."
Lu Youming, Lu Youye, Han Jing, and Lan Yu had all grown up in the city. Forget wild, deserted islands—they hadn’t even been to rural villages with slightly more primitive conditions.
It was obvious they had no experience with wilderness survival at all.
So Lu Sheng raised her head and said, "No, plastic wrap is actually very useful in wilderness survival. It’s waterproof, windproof, moisture-proof, and can insulate heat. The key is how you use it."
"But the tricky thing is, what I got is only plastic wrap. We still need other things for food, shelter, and daily use. So, we’ll have to see what Fourth Brother and the rest of you get later."
"Got it," Lu Youming nodded, gently touching Lu Sheng’s cheek with a steady tone, "Don’t worry."
After Lu Sheng, it was Lu Youming’s turn to grab a package.
As luck would have it, while Lu Sheng’s package was all plastic wrap, Lu Youming’s was entirely filled with tools.
Compasses, flashlights, lighters, an axe, a folding saw, a folding knife, a multi-functional Divine Artifact, a large iron pot, fishing line, and a moisture-proof mat...
Although it was just tools, the variety was relatively comprehensive and definitely useful.
Han Jing was seventh in line, while Lan Yu was thirteenth, and the items they got were more mixed.
The most useful things in Han Jing’s package were solid salt and cooking oil. He also got a tube of toothpaste, a bar of soap, and some disposable compressed towels, ensuring their hygiene would be taken care of for a while.
Lan Yu’s most useful items were two vacuum-compressed quilts. But the two quilts took up all the space in her package, so basically, she didn’t get anything else.
Lu Youye was the very last person to choose a package among everyone.
That said, all the packages had now been chosen.
Among the other players, some were on their own, while others had already grouped up, piling their supplies together to tally up and plan.
Some people had a huge pile of stuff in front of them, practically hoarding supplies by comparison.
Especially Xu Xinya, her pile had everything imaginable—food, supplies, you name it. Several players were already trying to cozy up to her with flattery and requests.
Lan Yu glanced at Xu Xinya and met her gaze directly. Xu Xinya tilted her chin slightly, her expression full of pride and smugness.
Not that Lan Yu particularly envied her. She just withdrew her gaze and, looking back at their group’s pitifully small pile of supplies, began to worry.
In total, all the packages contained four tents and thirteen sleeping bags. Yet of all the things they grabbed, their group of five didn’t manage to get a single tent or sleeping bag.
What were they going to sleep on tonight?
"Forget the food for now," Lan Yu sighed, "We don’t even have a single tent or sleeping bag. All we have is a large moisture-proof mat and two quilts. Looks like we’re sleeping on the ground tonight."
Looking around at the environment, her brows furrowed tightly as she rubbed her bare, chilly arms. "And who even knows if there’ll be mosquitoes here on this deserted island at night."
Lan Yu was already resigned to their miserable and pitiful situation.
But just then, Lu Sheng suddenly looked up and said, "Don’t worry, I’ve got an idea."
