(Two in one) “The legend of those treasures in the desert that people are rushing to, is just a small throw of fine crumbs shaken off by Teller Mountain.”
…
“Hello, everyone. I am Lu Liran, a wilderness survival expert. Now I am on the airship heading to the Salba Desert. In order to show you how to survive in the desert and hunt for treasures, I will go straight to the heart of the desert and challenge the most dangerous and mysterious desert hinterland in the east of Teller Mountain.”
The Salba Desert is located on the east and west sides of Teller Mountain, with an altitude of about 1,500 meters. The land stretching 1,600 kilometers longitudinally carries the entire continental peninsula, like the two arms extended by Teller Mountain.
This time, Lu Liran went to the east.
The west Salba is a place Lu Liran has never set foot in. He doesn’t have the adventurous spirit to open up wasteland, and he only hopes to return as soon as possible after finding what he wants this time.
[Aoaoaoao! Cool!!!]
[Familiar formula, familiar taste, Brother Lu go straight ahead, ah!!]
[Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt! Treasure hunt!]
The live broadcast room was instantly aroused by the desert treasure.
“The Salba Desert is filled with legends of hidden treasures, attracting hundreds of explorers into it every year, and the vast majority of them never return.” Lu Liran said, “Dehydration and heat stroke are the left and right hands of the desert god of death, and the sickle that harvests the lives of explorers.”
“However, the deadliest danger of the Salba Desert is more than that. I will show everyone the power of the desert nature without reservation.”
[Brother Lu, is it treasure hunting or survival this time!]
[What’s the difference?]
[Survival is definitely not equipped, if you are looking for treasure, how about better equipment?]
“For this trip to the Salba Desert, I will only carry a military canteen, a mountaineering bag, and an outdoor dagger, and try to survive as much as possible within five days and find what I am looking for.” Lu Liran said.
“If the target is still not found after five days, then the pre-arranged evacuation airship will pick me up at the evacuation point and leave the desert.”
[Fuck, the equipment this time is less than last time, right?! Brother Lu didn’t even bring the rope that he used the most frequently last time!]
[No flint either!]
[Is the Salba Desert not as scary as the Arlok Glacier?]
[Probably…the impression of Salba is that there are many treasures hunting legends, haha]
[Wuhu, nonsense, among the top ten dangerous places in the Desolate Star, Arlok ranks ninth, and Salba ranks seventh!]
[Brother Lu has drifted!]
[Brother Lu: Give Salba some excitement]
The corner of Lu Liran’s mouth twitched. He wanted to bring more equipment, but the system refused.
He skipped the subject and said instead: “The goal this time is to hunt for treasure, but there are different opinions about the treasure in the desert.”
“The Salba Desert runs through the Teller Mountains vertically, and is cut into two deserts by the Teller Mountains.”
“Teller Mountain is full of mystery in the Desolate Star. It was said to be filled with rare treasures, such as pearls as big as an adult, a python as small as a palm, whose snake blood when shedding its skin will turn into blood diamond when it falls to the ground.”
“The nomads living near the desert often say that the Salba Desert is an uncrossable barrier shaken out by Teller Mountain, and the legend of the treasures that make the desert so desirable is just a small drop of fine dust shaken off by Teller Mountain.”
“Some people say that there is a lost ancient city in the Salba Desert, which is full of various gold and silver utensils, pearl agate, and rare gold stones that can contain mental power.”
“It is also said that in the depths of the desert grows the fruit of plants that can make people live forever. Although the general lifespan of human beings has been extended to two hundred years after entering the era of interstellar navigation, the temptation of immortality remains undiminished.”

[Then what is Brother Lu looking for!]
[That is, of course, gold, silver and treasure, living well is not as good as living longer]

[Yi!! This is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing!]
[The planet is so big, there are all kinds of wonders, the more barren the place is, the more strange and weird things are living]
[Rubbing hands, I’m actually more curious about whether this thing can be eaten? After all, it’s what Brother Lu cares about…hehe, right?]
[Laughing, don’t say that Brother Lu only has food in his eyes! (its true)]
[Then here comes the question, what will Brother Lu eat in the desert this time]

Lu Liran paused slightly when he heard the words, and looked out of the cabin window, and saw undulating sand dunes magnified and appeared in front of him.
He stood up, then checked all his equipment for the last time, and walked to the cabin door, and then said: “I’m ready.”
The co-pilot opened the hatch. The airship was suspended at a height of five or six meters above the sand dunes. The engines on the bottom of the ship kicked up the wind and sand.
Lu Liran looked at the endless desert outside, then turned his eyes to the camera ball facing him, and said: “Then, this live broadcast will officially begin.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the camera ball flew out of the cabin, showing a panoramic view.
They saw such a bright red airship standing out in a barren yellow desert. The huge six-pointed star with planetary ring logo was printed on the side of the airship’s hatch, giving enough shots.
This is also what was agreed before. Xian Yu provides sponsored airships, and he must guarantee that the appearance time of the airship is not less than one minute—— In fact, because of the ubiquitous logo “around” and Lu Liran’s early start, the publicity appearance grew to a large excess.
Xian Yu nestled on the sofa contentedly, thinking that Brother Lu is really interesting. Although he said that he would not do it, he actually did it in action, and he did not take advantage of others at all.
Xian Yu smashed three Buddha Jumping over the Walls, and the red envelopes that came with the platform rained down for a full minute and a half, celebrating the smooth launch of the anchor.
[Worship the familiar local tyrant]
[Grab the red envelope, grab the red envelope!]
[The red envelopes you grab will be given to Brother Lu! Take money from the platform and raise Brother Lu!]
Under the panorama shot by the camera ball, the people on the airship were set off so small that there was only a small black spot.
Soon, the close-up shot returned to Lu Liran, who had stepped out of the airship cabin with two feet. He stepped on the hovering frame under the hatch, he held the hatch with one hand, looking at the direction of the sand dunes under his eyes, he then gestured to the pilot to adjust the hovering point.
“This time I will show you the simplest way to land. There are no fancy skills and movements, just remember to keep your legs and feet together, like this.”
After he finished speaking, he let go of his hand and leaned back. Before anyone could react, he jumped off the hovering frame of the airship, and landed on his back from the highest point of the sand dune. After a few quick rolls, he fell nearly ten meters.
The soft and fluffy sand dunes are the best cushion and protection, and there is no disadvantage except that the whole body is sandy.
Lu Liran used his hands and feet to stop the rolling momentum.
He got up neatly, he turned around and looked at the airship hovering over the highest point of the sand dune, and made a gesture to indicate that they could leave.
The co-pilot, who was still at the door widened his eyes in astonishment, and he didn’t come back to his senses until he saw Lu Liran gesturing towards him: “Fuck, I can’t believe he just went down like that?! I thought this guy was just posing for a shot!”
“What does he mean by that? Really let us leave?” The other pilot also sucked in his breath, and didn’t react for a while.
This is Salba! The place known as the Devil’s Desert! How could someone run in for some wilderness live broadcast!?
However, Lu Liran had already gone far away without even turning his head.
“Wait, didn’t he bring any equipment?” The main pilot suddenly remembered, he opened his eyes slightly and asked the person beside him.
“He seems to be.” The co-pilot was stunned and looked at his colleague for a second, “When I heard him broadcasting live earlier, he said that he brought a bag, a canteen, and a dagger???”
“This man is going to commit suicide…”
The airship still stayed where it was, and didn’t leave immediately, but Lu Liran didn’t care. After judging his position based on the shadow and the sun, he chose a direction he wanted to go.
It was less than five o’clock in the afternoon, but the temperature in Salba was still uncomfortably hot, and the gravel was slightly scorched by the sun hanging high overhead.
“I don’t know if you still remember that I once said that the most important thing to survive in the wild is to have a clear route and direction.” As Lu Liran spoke, he patted the sand off his body, and then spit out the sand that fell into his mouth when he rolled down the dune.
A series of calls were made in the live broadcast room [Remember!] [Anchor surprise quiz] [I just said we will take the test, hahahaha]…
Lu Liran looked around, he pointed to the tallest sand dune and said: “Therefore, I will go to the highest point of that sand dune first, and then make other plans.”
The sand dune he pointed to must be at least twenty meters high, the slope is only about thirty degrees, and it does not look difficult to climb.
But it just seems to be.
The sand under his feet was extremely loose, and every time he took a step, countless sands collapsed down, and the fine sand flow wrapped around Lu Liran’s heels, dragging him down with it.
“It’s more physically demanding than it looks, but it’s worth it.” Lu Liran climbed to the highest point of the sand dune, he pointed to a place close to the horizon in the distance, “I don’t know if you can see that there is an inconspicuous treetop over there. Maybe there is a small oasis there, or even if there is no oasis, some water can be found along the roots of the plants.”
“In the desert, even if you can find a drop of water, don’t waste it.” Lu Liran looked at the camera.
“We don’t have much time. The Salba Desert is like an oven during the day, and a freezer at night. If we can’t find a suitable place to camp, we have to fight against the severe cold at night.”
“Many travelers who stayed overnight in the desert let down their vigilance because of the intense heat during the day, and fell asleep without the basic guarantee of keeping warm. The silent and sudden drop in temperature led to their deaths.”
“Blood circulation speed is reduced to the minimum in a state of lethargy, and metabolism naturally slows down.” As Lu Liran spoke, he turned around from the highest point of the sand dune. Behind him was the high slope that he had just climbed up with great effort. Then he spoke very fast, “There have been survey data showing that most people are frozen to death within ten minutes after falling asleep in a low temperature environment. Once the body temperature is below 28 degrees Celsius, you will lose consciousness.”
He mockingly pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, and said: “This way of dying is undoubtedly peaceful and happy, but I don’t intend to be one of them.”
[Brother Lu completed today’s daily task <Intimidation> (√)]
[Brother Lu always has so many negative teaching materials!!]
After Lu Liran finished speaking, he pointed to the high slope in front of him: “Let’s hurry up, so if we go downhill, we can use a tricky way, just do a speed jump slide like a slide.”
As he spoke, he took two light steps, then jumped forward, and rushed down the slope with a sliding shovel.
The slope of about 30 degrees made the speed of the descent very fast. In just a few breaths, Lu Liran had already slid to the bottom of the sand dune.
He rolled on the spot to slow down the impact of the fall.
“It’s a soft landing here at all times, just watch out for any poisonous insects and scorpions hiding under the rocks along the road, It’s fine to avoid them.”
“However, sometimes, the creatures hidden under the rocks may be a good energy supply.” Lu Liran added, but unfortunately he raised his eyes and looked around, it’s all sand, not even a rock.
[Brother Lu was still looking for rocks just now? It feels like Brother Lu’s eyes reveal a disappointed Mimi (?)]
[Brother Lu’s recipe is loading]
[Player Lu Liran has lit up the glaciers and desert food illustrations, the system rewards star coins x5 —— DisguiseSystemSkin gifted the anchor 1x Sukiyaki Pot]
[This system is too stingy, Brother Lu come play with me——Spicystickarenotspicy gifted the anchor 1x Top Wagyu Beef]
[Tart, the words of tiger and wolf!]
[Brother Lu: I am working hard to survive, but you are playing text rpg]
Lu Liran didn’t notice that the game mode was turned on in the live broadcast room. He broke off a dead branch along the road as a probing stick, and accelerated his pace.
“On the first day of departure, I avoided the hottest hours before and after noon, but the heat of the desert is still not to be underestimated. In the desert, water is the real treasure.” Lu Liran said.
He took off his windbreaker jacket, and rolled it into a long strip and tied it around his waist. The black tight-fitting quick-drying clothes under the coat outline Lu Liran’s body tightly bound. The slightly bulging chest muscles and upper arm muscles are not exaggerated, but they are very sexy.
The non-stop marching in the desert made Lu Liran’s voice a little breathless. He was obviously talking about a very serious topic, but the listeners couldn’t help but think of other aspects.
[Brother Lu’s gasping arrangement on]
[To be honest, every time I hear Brother Lu’s voice, I feel as if I hired a male voice actor]
[Excellent Alpha is the wealth shared by the whole universe!]
[ Imao, Brother Lu-Seduction-Technique]
[What’s going on, he already took it off, but it still feels astringent]
[Help, my mother passed by behind my light brain, and now she looks at me in the wrong way!]
Lu Liran didn’t know that the focus of attention in the live broadcast room had been skewed to a strange place.
He continued to walk forward, surrounded by endless desert, giving people the illusion that no matter how long he walked, he seemed to be standing still.
“When a lot of people feel their lips are dry, they subconsciously want to lick their lips to moisturize, but this doesn’t help, it just makes the situation worse.” Lu Liran untied the military canteen pinned to his waist, and shook it at the camera ball, “There is about a liter of water in it, which is one of my initial equipment.”
“Water is limited, so you must use it sparingly. Take a small sip at a time, don’t rush to swallow, and keep your mouth as moist as possible.” As he spoke, he unscrewed the lid of the cup, took a small sip and put it in his mouth, his cheeks puffed up slightly.
[Help, Brother Lu looks like a chipmunk hoarding nuts]
[Yes, very cute—— I never thought that one day, I would use these two words to describe such a manly Alpha as Brother Lu, so I’ll run away]
[lol, I didn’t think so as well, but after being distorted by the barrage, the more I look at him, the more it looks like that’s the case]
Lu Liran: “…”
Although he felt very ashamed of such a description, as if a rough old man is trying to sell meng, and in order to survive he still has to keep selling meng (no).
Sunnyshies: Well, Brother Lu was originally the cute and adorable type, who practice hard to look more mature and serious adult…
Ahhh~! I could feel brother Lu’s struggle with heat! Its so hot! Hot! Hot!! Yesterday, it was so hot I can’t do anything…even my temper became so hot…heat sucks, its not even summer yet…
Thanks for the update!! I wonder would our ML jump in to join this round?
I’m kinda jealous about hot weather (i don’t like summer heat thou), because I still see snow when I look at the window
Well I just ask you to excuse my mistakes because I’m not native in english
no problem…should I lay down a reverse card? I never seen snow all my life except for pics and video…however, there was once an incredibly abnormal weather before when I was a child, it rained hail, but only for few minutes. Still, the ice melted the moment it touched the ground.
I didn’t see snow all my life too like our translator egypt is still cold in winter but no snow sometimes i hope i can see snow too i want to go hiking because i heard in February Mount Saint Catherine have a beautiful view at sunrise with snow im just not healthy enough to go hiking 🙁
I’m from Russia, so, you know, there is okay to see snow at least ’till end of March and sometimes it lays even in the middle of April. But I hope this year it will melt before middle of April 🙃
Once i saw snow in june. It was pretty shocking!
By the way snow is cool and beautiful only in two situations — you see it once a year for day or two or it is really cold outside so it shines and make this “shkrrr” sound when you step. But in my region in is in “kinda melting” condition. It brown and wet, you can’t reach your destination as clean as you were before. And suddenly comes nignt, snowy dirt freeze and in rhe morning there is no way you can walk because you need to step in craziest angles…
Sorry when I start to talk about it I just can’t stop😅
On the other hand, I never see snow irl since my country is tropical one TT. But of course, I know that I could never survive when winter comes since I can’t even stand AC’s temperature.
Haha, me too. The temp of 28* in aircon, I’m already trembling in cold, wearing thick jacket while curled up. I hate heat, but I hate cold too.
“i hate heat but i hate cold too” is the most relatable thing ever! At 25° I feel cold and the most comfortable temperature for me is about 28° like… Just 3 fcking degrees make a HUGE difference! (By the way, here we got central heating and its always pretty warm inside. The coldest time ever is mow, when we turn off central heating but outside is about 15-18° mehh. I just prefer to not go outside in winters. I think a lot of people in my country aren’t tolerate cold as good as people usually think russians are)
Bahaha, you and me both. I’m in a tropical country as well, winter who?? We only know sun and rain 😭😭😭
It has been scorching hot here for the past couple of days so I feel the heat Lu-Ge is in 😭
I like most of the people in that chat
I feel for the netizen whose mom walked by…omg! Pfft!
I think deserts are really fascinating and beautiful places. But I would never go there. I would just turn into a Grimer or even a Muk in mere seconds lol
Thx for the ch ٩(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )و
At least a desert heat is usually dry, right?
I live in the tropics, heat here is more like steaming XD
Sending Brother Lu some water, cause these novels with commentary send me.🥤
Superhero landing! Superhero landing!
As a person staying here the Philippines… I can also relate to what LLR’s struggle with heat—just that I have umbrella, unlimited water supply, and sunblock—
Oh, a kababayan struggling with heat!!
When I saw your username, knowing you’re from the PH, at first glance I read “Duterte”, hahaha …man~ filipino filter, shucks (‘∀`)ゞ
Omg, noooo. 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Pero oMGG!! FILIPINO KA RIN?? KABAYAAANN!!
Aah i can’t wait for the silly beauty. No cubs no pretty husbands, i feel lonely
Thanks for the translation! Just a minor comment — “草” is the Chinese slang for “操”, which means “fuck”^^ so the netizen isn’t saying lmao, but fuck
