Chapter 2: Arrogant jungler, if you don't give it, give it away
The young man's name was Zhang Daye, and he was originally a student at a university in Jiangcheng.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
Zhang Da Ye, if he is successful, he will benefit the world.
The implication is good, but his unscrupulous roommates prefer to call him by his nicknames - Xiao Zhang the Jungler and Arrogant Jungler.
Because I only play jungle when playing a certain computer game, and I am as bad as a master, so every time the game starts, my roommates complain: "Arrogant jungler, if you don't give me, I will give it away."
He himself has gotten used to it. Nicknames are just jokes, so it's fine as long as he has fun. Of course, the main reason is that he can't resist.
The story of how Zhang Daye came into this world started from the morning when everyone in dormitory 404 stayed in bed together.
That day, the four of them simultaneously ignored breakfast. It was not until near noon that Zhang Da, together with two other roommates, tricked his roommate Ren Ming into going to the cafeteria to help bring food by shouting "88".
As a result, Ren Ming lost contact, didn't answer the phone, didn't reply to text messages, and didn't access the Internet.
Generally speaking, it is not uncommon if a phone call cannot be connected. It is possible that you did not hear the call. Just call again later.
But Zhang Da was too hungry to bear it anymore, so he decided to go out for dinner and see what the boy was doing, leaving the two lazy guys waiting in the dormitory.
However, when Zhang Daye stepped out of the dormitory door with his right foot, he lost consciousness.
When Zhang Da woke up, he found himself lying on a wooden board, surrounded by the endless sea.
His first reaction afterwards was to touch his trouser pocket. The familiar feeling told him that his phone was still there. Well, he felt much more at ease.
Next, Zhang Da began to wonder if he was dreaming. He wanted to imitate those people on TV and pinch himself when he encountered unbelievable things.
But in fact, when he pinched his thigh, he already had the answer in his mind. Who would think of pinching themselves in a dream?
Feeling the pain, Zhang Da tried hard to keep himself calm. This could be a case of time travel or some supernatural phenomenon.
There was nothing but sea all around, and no reference points to confirm the location.
Zhang Da also took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The battery was 100%. It seems that it is a good habit to fully charge the mobile phone before going out.
I glanced to the side and saw no signal, not good.
Pull down the status bar to confirm that both WIFI and data network are on, it seems that there is really no signal.
Zhang Da didn't believe it and tried to call his roommate, and then tried to make a few emergency calls, but he always heard the message "out of service area".
Now, Zhang Da was also panicked.
He realized that he would either be lucky enough to encounter land or other rescue soon, or he would have to learn from Bear Grylls and survive in the wilderness.
It took some time for him to accept the reality, but since he hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch, his rumbling stomach told him that he'd better hurry up.
First, Zhang Da also confirmed his status:
"Apart from being very hungry, I don't feel any discomfort. But being hungry in this situation is bad, right?"
The next step is to check your belongings. Even if you are surviving in the wilderness, you will need some appropriate tools.
He was wearing the same clothes as when he went out, a long-sleeved T-shirt, a black jacket, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Zhang Da also felt the current temperature and found it was suitable so he shouldn't be cold.
Then, he took out everything in his pocket and placed it in front of him, including a campus card, a key to dormitory 404, a nail clipper, an ear spoon, and a Luo Tianyi pendant.
He went out just to eat in the cafeteria, so he only brought these few things with him. Including his cell phone and the wooden board he was carrying, these were all the props he had at this stage.
Zhang Da also looked at the phone, campus card and keychain in front of him and fell into deep thought:
Can I really survive on this stuff?
…
“I’m hungry…”
Zhang Da also lay listlessly on the wooden board, staring at the sea, hoping that one or two small fish would swim by.
He pulled out a shoelace, and with great effort bent a small key ring into the shape of a crude fishhook, tied a nail clipper on it as a lead weight, and then started fishing without using any bait.
Unfortunately, there was no harvest until nightfall. I was too hungry in the afternoon, but at night my stomach felt like it was on fire and my lips were a little chapped by the sea breeze.
Zhang Da was so desperate that he tried to draw a Mickey Mouse head on a wooden board.
It's a shame that no one from Disney came in a helicopter to sue him for copyright infringement.
"If I can survive this time, I will definitely get up on time, eat on time, pay attention to balanced nutrition, and not waste even a little bit of food..."
While his mind was still clear, Zhang Da also tied the "fishing line" to his hand, turned over and fell asleep in a daze.
In the early hours of the morning, a waning moon was obscured by light clouds, the stars in the sky flickered unsteadily, and a meteor dragged a beautiful long arc across the night sky and disappeared.
The screen of the phone in Zhang Daye's pocket lit up quietly, as if it wanted to respond to something, but it was stuck on the lock screen page - no one entered the password.
The whole world seemed to be awkwardly silent for a second. At this moment, there was a slight rise and fall of waves, and the wooden board swayed. The key to Dormitory 404 happened to rest on the screen of the mobile phone.
The virtual buttons on the screen began to jump wildly, as if trying to crack a code.
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone, the cell phone and keys shattered at the same time, and together with the campus card, they turned into stars of light and merged into the back of Zhang Daye's left hand.
A purple circular magic circle pattern slowly took shape, with chaotic yet orderly lines that looked very much like the abstract patterns formed by the superposition of a school emblem and a key.
A burst of purple light scanned Zhang Da's entire body, and then a translucent screen the size of a mobile phone popped up above the magic circle.
There is a photo in the upper left corner with a simple message next to it.
Name: Zhang Da Ye
Age: 18
Introduction: A former student of Jiangcheng University of Technology, he went out to find food and his lost roommate. It is suspected that he traveled to another world because of a roommate who made a wish to a shooting star.
The screen remained on for thirty seconds, then dimmed and slid to another page like a cell phone switching screens.
At the top was the time, written in large font: 05:05.
Below is the circular magic circle pattern on the arm. The edge is like a progress bar. About 90% of it is bright, and the rest is a little dark.
[Energy is sufficient, do you want to start summoning? ]
【Yes (30s)】|【No】
Zhang Daye was obviously unable to respond. After thirty seconds, the translucent screen turned into tiny spots of light that fell beside Zhang Daye, forming a magic circle with a diameter of one meter.
A blue light lit up, and a figure less than one meter tall appeared in the center of the magic circle.
It was a cat, with mostly blue fur, with white only on its paws, the tip of its tail, and around its mouth.
At this time, the cat was standing on its legs, carrying a wooden stick on its shoulder with a small red cloth package tied to the stick, as if it was about to run away from home.
The magic circle's light dissipated, and the light flew back to the top of Zhang Daye's wrist to form a screen:
Name: Tom
Former names: Thomas, Jasper
Aliases: Tang Aotian, Fake Laolian, Ergazi, Big Potato, etc.
Introduction: The magical cat from the world of "Tom and Jerry" seems to be immortal. One day, Tom's original owner brought back a robot cat and successfully drove Jerry out temporarily. Tom, who could never catch Jerry, was driven out of the house by his owner.
This page didn't last long, and a pop-up window suddenly appeared:
[The power is less than 3%, and it will shut down in 30 seconds. Please charge in time. 】
Tom stared at the screen curiously, looking left and right, and only shifted his attention to Zhang Daye when the screen disappeared.
Zhang Da's face was pale, his lips were cracked and pale, and he seemed to be in poor health.
Tom immediately put down his luggage, lay on Zhang Daye's chest to listen to his heartbeat, opened his eyes to check his eyelids, and pinched open his mouth to check his tongue coating...
After a series of professional-looking checks, Tom quickly opened his small package.
There was a bottle of milk, three cans of fish, and a wad of green banknotes.
Tom thought about it, picked up the milk, opened the bottle cap, licked the bottle cap and threw it away, then turned the glass bottle upside down and stuffed the bottle mouth directly into Zhang Daye's mouth.
Generally speaking, people who are fed milk in this way will choke, but strangely, Zhang Da didn't choke. The milk flowed smoothly down his throat into his stomach.
With a "pop" sound, Tom pulled the bottle out of Zhang Daye's mouth, raised it high, opened his mouth, and shook the bottle up and down.
Two drops of milk slowly flowed down from the bottle and dripped into Tom's mouth.
"Slurp~ha~" Tom smacked his lips in enjoyment, put down the bottle and squatted obediently beside Zhang Daye.
After a while, Zhang Da also opened his eyes and felt around him habitually, but couldn't find his cell phone.
Zhang Daye then remembered his situation and sat up immediately: "It would be great if I could find myself in the dormitory when I wake up."
Muttering to himself, Zhang Da also noticed the cat next to him.
Why does this cat look so familiar?
"Tom?" Zhang Da also called out tentatively.
Tom nodded rapidly.
Zhang Da also looked at the glass bottle next to Tom, and felt that he was not as hungry as yesterday, and there was a taste of milk in his mouth, so he asked, "Did you give me milk?"
Tom nodded again and grinned, showing a row of small white teeth.
"Thank you, Tom!" Zhang Da instantly felt safe. No matter where he was, as long as Tom was there, he should be able to survive.
First there was Tom, then there was God, _____!
It's just drifting on the sea. As long as Tom is given a surfboard or a fishing rod, he can defeat even a shark.
