Desert Island Infrastructure: Claiming the System Brings Many Blessings

Chapter 16 Survival in Desperate Circumstances

Fan Yubing understood Qin Chuan's meaning. Her expression changed several times, but she felt no resistance whatsoever.

Fan Yubing understood perfectly. Just now, in the life-or-death moment, Qin Chuan disregarded his own life to protect her and shield her from all dangers.

Currently trapped underground, isolated and helpless, with no one but Qin Chuan who can lead him out.

He saved my life yesterday, and I slapped him. Today, he disregarded the past and risked his life to save me; this should be considered a second life!

After preparing herself mentally, Fan Yubing asked Nuonuo, "You mean... you need a bigger reward?"

Qin Chuan nodded silently.

Fan Yubing bit her lip and thought for a long time.

She wasn't stupid. Qin Chuan had said before that the mechanism of the "Many Children, Many Blessings" system was that a kiss would slightly enhance the strength, a hug would make it even stronger, and the higher the level of intimacy, the greater the reward.

The air in the cave became subtle.

Fan Yubing's mind was making a final decision.

On the one hand, she had only known this security guard named Qin Chuan for a little over a day. Although a lot had happened, they were still essentially two strangers who had just met.

On the other hand, he was kind and righteous, having saved two of his own lives, and in this hidden cave, it was difficult for anyone to find him, so his chances of getting out alive were slim.

Fan Yubing took a deep breath and said, "There's no other way now. To make you stronger, and so we can get out of here, I... I have no other choice."

After saying this, Fan Yubing slowly untied the "worldly" veil.

Since we're coming, let's go for something "big"!

Fan Yubing unbuttoned the first button of her camisole, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin below her neck.

Qin Chuan felt a sudden rush of heat to his head, but this wasn't what he wanted. He just wanted to get closer to Fan Yubing so it would be easier to get a kiss later.

But things have already started to spiral out of control.

"Fan Yubing, let's wait a little longer. Perhaps Lin Shishi and the others will come looking for us soon. They'll just need to give us a vine then."

Fan Yubing paused, not looking at him, and said, "That kind of hope is slim; relying on others is not as good as relying on me."

[What? Relying on you? This... Fan Yubing, you're a talent.] Qin Chuan didn't say anything more.

He hasn't collected any special ingredients today, and the cooldown period has already passed.

If we don't seize this opportunity, we don't know what excuse we'll have to use next time.

Qin Chuan walked over and faced Fan Yubing.

The cave was dimly lit, with only the sunlight filtering through the opening above them, creating a fluctuating interplay of light and shadow.

Fan Yubing pulled her clothes down to her waist, the lines of her shoulders and chest faintly visible in the dim light.

She looked up at Qin Chuan, her eyes filled with tension and fear, but even more so with gratitude and dependence.

Qin Chuan placed his palm on her shoulder.

Her skin felt cool, and because of the low temperature in the cave, it was covered in small bumps.

But as Qin Chuan's fingers slowly slid over her, her body temperature began to rise.

Fan Yubing closed her eyes.

Qin Chuan leaned down and pressed his lips to hers.

This kiss was completely different from the one that happened in an emergency before.

That time it was just a fleeting touch, but this time Fan Yubing's hands were around his neck, and her lips were pressed tightly together.

Her breathing became rapid, and her chest heaved more and more.

Qin Chuan's hand slid down from her waist, his fingertips touching the hem of her denim mini-skirt.

The hem flipped up.

It has to be said, this yoga teacher's figure is absolutely top-notch.

Fan Yubing's body stiffened slightly, but she did not dodge.

The cave echoed with the rapid breathing of two people.

Sweat dampened the stray hairs on Fan Yubing's forehead, sticking to her cheeks in strands.

The air grew hotter, and the smell of damp earth mingled with the scents of the two people.

The shadows of two people on the cave wall were intertwined, constantly changing with the angle of the ray of sunlight.

Fan Yubing bit her lip, keeping her voice as low as possible.

Qin Chuan felt her body trembling, her fingers gripping the back of his shirt tightly.

......

After half an hour.

The two sat leaning against the cave wall, breathing rapidly.

Fan Yubing's back was pressed against the cold stone wall, and she felt as if all her strength had been drained away.

A system notification sounded in Qin Chuan's mind.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained a special ingredient. Character Skill: Pupil Technique LV1 (Data Scanning Ability) (Proficiency +1, Current Proficiency: 4/10)]

Qin Chuan was secretly delighted.

My proficiency has increased a little. Although it's only a small increase, every little bit helps.

It took Fan Yubing a while to slowly get dressed.

My fingers were still trembling slightly as I buttoned up my tank top.

She lowered her head, not daring to look Qin Chuan in the eye.

"How is it? Did the system give you a reward?" Fan Yubing's voice was hoarse.

Qin Chuan nodded immediately. Could he really say no?

"Given it."

"Then try and see if you can climb out."

Qin Chuan stood up and stretched his body.

To be honest, the system only gave me a little bit of proficiency just now, and my attributes didn't increase.

But Qin Chuan's current strength is 25, which is 2.5 times his initial strength. Carrying a person weighing about 100 pounds and climbing a cave wall seven or eight meters high shouldn't be a problem as long as he finds the right foothold.

The reason I said it wasn't enough before was purely to create opportunities.

Qin Chuan looked up at the protruding rocks on the cave wall and quickly planned a climbing route in his mind.

"Okay, I'll carry you on my back, we'll climb together."

Fan Yubing was taken aback: "Behind my back?"

Qin Chuan turned around and squatted down: "Yeah. If I climb up first, what will you do down here all by yourself? I'll find you a vine; it'll be very difficult for you to get up."

In fact, this was what Qin Chuan was most worried about. It was easy for him to get out on his own, but he wasn't entirely confident about carrying someone up the mountain.

A warm feeling welled up in Fan Yubing's heart.

She didn't say anything more, walked behind Qin Chuan, wrapped her arms around his neck, and put her legs around his waist.

Qin Chuan supported her thigh with his hand to steady himself, and then straightened up.

With that previous relationship in mind, Fan Yubing didn't feel awkward riding on Qin Chuan's back at all.

She rested her chin on his shoulder, her chest pressed against his back, without uttering a sound.

Qin Chuan walked to the bottom of the cave wall, grabbed the first protruding rock with both hands, stepped on a small bump with his toes, and began to climb up.

Strength becomes an advantage in situations like this. Qin Chuan's arm muscles were taut, and each ascent was steady and powerful, without swaying even with someone on his back.

"Keep going, hang in there!" Fan Yubing whispered encouragement from behind.

Qin Chuan took one step with one hand and one step with the other, two meters, three meters, four meters.

There was a gap between the stones in the middle that was too large, so Qin Chuan had to move half a meter to the side while hanging with one hand to find another foothold.

Fan Yubing hugged him even tighter on his back, clinging to him like a koala.

Five meters, six meters.

Qin Chuan's palms began to sweat, and the surface of the stone became somewhat damp. He took a deep breath and quickened his pace.

Seven meters.

The cave entrance was right above him, and the sunlight shone down so brightly that Qin Chuan squinted. He grabbed a tree root at the edge of the cave entrance with one hand, pulled hard, and his body was pulled up.

Fan Yubing was dragged out as well. The two rolled around on the edge of the cave entrance and lay on their backs on the grass, panting heavily.

The sunlight felt warm and comforting on my face.

The two of them took a breather.

Qin Chuan turned his head and glanced at Fan Yubing.

She lay on the grass, her hair disheveled, but the corners of her mouth were curved in a smile, as if she were relieved to have survived a disaster.

"I'm exhausted," Qin Chuan said.

"Great, we're out!" Fan Yubing was overjoyed.

Qin Chuan stared at the blue sky and the two suns overhead, feeling a sense of relief.

"Let's go back to camp."

Qin Chuan stood up and helped Fan Yubing. The two supported each other as they walked around the collapsed area towards the camp.
