Seeing this sight, Chuck nearly unzipped his pants right there.
But he still had important tasks to complete, so he forced down his urges and gave the sexually charged foreign woman a thumbs-up.
"Just wait for my Chinese cock tonight, you hot foreign chick."
Sated and rested, Chuck was at his physical and mental peak since being stranded on the island.
No matter what unknown dangers lay ahead, he was confident he could face them.
Spear in hand, stone axe on his hip, Chuck passed through the familiar water puddle clearing, traversed the small island of cut-down thorns, and finally arrived again at the mud pool beneath the rock wall.
The fierce wild boar that once dominated this spot was now Chuck's dinner.
The mysterious red flower now grew alone in the mud, looking both enchanting and eerie.
Chuck slowly stepped forward, wading into the mud, and carefully leaned down to pluck it.
But the moment the stem of the 'Flower of the Other Shore' snapped, the petals instantly dissolved into a cluster of red light, vanishing from his hand in a flash!
Simultaneously, the Workbench interface changed!
[Special Material Collected – Flower of the Other Shore (Red) x 1]
[Synthesis Hint: The Red Flower of the Other Shore contains Blood-Flesh Power. Place it in the Workbench to refine it with a specific animal heart to synthesize a special Elixir that enhances Blood-Flesh Power!]
[Collected Flowers of the Other Shore: Red x 1]
[Number of Elixirs Consumed: None]
Chuck instantly got goosebumps looking at the synthesis prompt.
It wasn't fear, but excitement!
He had guessed that the glowing boar heart might be related to the alchemy panel unlocked when he first saw the Flower of the Other Shore. It turned out he was right!
An Elixir that enhances Blood-Flesh Power?!
Finally, his Workbench cheat had revealed its true power.
Chuck immediately took out the boar heart he had meticulously wrapped earlier. A red glow reappeared before his eyes.
[Workbench input: Wild Boar Heart x 1]
[Can be refined with the collected Flower of the Other Shore (Red) into Special Item: Elixir (Red) x 1]
[Estimated Synthesis Time: 1 minute. Start synthesis?]
Synthesize!
This time, when he pressed the 'Craft' button, the image before Chuck was different. Instead of a white light cluster, it transformed into a vivid red light cluster, just like the flower and the boar heart!
The one-minute countdown passed in a flash. In the blink of an eye, a crimson pill appeared in Chuck's palm.
[Elixir (Red) x 1, Synthesis Complete!]
Looking at the red pill in his hand, Chuck swallowed, feeling a slight internal resistance.
This thing felt like the boar heart and the red Flower of the Other Shore had been compressed together using some super-powerful hydraulic press…
But he only hesitated for a moment before closing his eyes and quickly swallowing the pill.
Screw it, eat it first!
As the pill went down, it instantly dissolved into a cool liquid that slowly slid into his stomach.
Chuck burped, patted his belly, and felt no change in his stomach or body.
Wasn't this supposed to be an Elixir that enhances vitality?
That's it?
Just as Chuck felt a hint of disappointment, he suddenly felt a wave of heat surge through his limbs...
"Holy shit?"
Chuck slowly looked down. The sensation of heat grew stronger, gradually spreading from his limbs to his torso, eventually covering his entire body.
The speed of his blood flow increased, his skin flushed red, his vision was temporarily consumed by a reddish hue, and his heart rate sped up to an unprecedented level!
Despite this, Chuck didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, it was incredibly soothing!
He raised his hand and lightly gripped his palm. His forearm muscles immediately felt an intense pump, unlike anything he'd felt before!
This sensation lasted for a full minute before gradually subsiding.
He exhaled a long breath, feeling completely charged with strength.
Like being reborn!
At the same time, the screen reappeared.
[Number of Elixirs Consumed: Red x 1]
[Congratulations! Under the effect of the Elixir, your physical fitness has increased by 20% across the board! Keep up the good work!]
A 20% increase across the board?!
Chuck's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the text on the screen.
He already had decent physical fitness from years of regular exercise, his lean muscle mass already exceeding most adult males.
What would happen with a 20% increase across the board on top of that?
Chuck immediately took off his shirt and looked down.
He was stunned by the body beneath his clothes.
His already muscular physique had undergone a visible change.
To put it visually: if his previous body resembled a fit athlete with some muscle, he was now approaching a physique like an actor known for his toned body. (Not his face, just his physique.)
Not only were his muscle lines more defined, but his muscle mass had also increased. Even his bones seemed slightly thicker.
Wait a minute…
Chuck suddenly realized something, raised his leg, and visually estimated his height. His face was flooded with ecstatic joy.
It seemed his height had increased too!
Although he had no measuring tools available, Chuck, whose height had stabilized long ago, was accustomed to his daily line of sight. But now things felt noticeably different, and looking at the length of his shin bone…
He was almost certain he had grown taller!
His original height was around 178 cm (5'10"), but now he was probably well over 180 cm (5'11")!
The effect was outstanding!
Chuck put his shirt back on and excitedly hopped in place, feeling boundless energy.
The immediate, tangible improvement to his physical self brought him more joy than getting food or synthesizing tools and weapons.
This was a genuine boost to his combat strength!
It felt like playing a dungeon-crawler game where Chuck had defeated the boss, absorbed its power, strengthened himself, and was now stepping into a brand new, unknown area.
The sense of accomplishment and satisfaction was indescribable.
After crossing the mud pool, he finally arrived at the fissure in the rock wall.
He found that the fissure was even narrower than it looked, barely allowing one person to pass sideways.
Moments later, a fork in the path appeared before Chuck.
No, strictly speaking, there was no path, just a peculiar rock formation that gave the illusion of one.
To his east, on his right, was a relatively sparsely vegetated jungle where he could faintly hear the sound of the ocean waves. He guessed that passing through this jungle would lead him to another beach on the eastern side of the island.
To Chuck's west, on his left, was a slightly steep stone slope—the real reason he thought there was a fork. This towering rock wall, which stood as a barrier between the two jungles, was actually the foot of a hill.
Presumably, going up the slope would lead toward the center of the island.
After a brief hesitation, Chuck made his choice and headed toward the jungle on his right.
He now understood that this was likely no ordinary small island, otherwise there wouldn't be glowing Flower of the Other Shore or a beast with a glowing heart. Therefore, the closer he got to the center of the island, the more dangerous it would likely become.
Furthermore, Chuck wanted to confirm another theory:
Were he and the foreign woman truly the only two people on this island?
If there were other survivors, the beach was the most likely area.
The plane crash couldn't have been far from the island. Chuck and Julia washed ashore, one in the center of the south beach, the other on the east side of the south beach.
So, if anyone else from the plane had drifted to this island, the other beach on the eastern side was the most probable landing spot.
Perhaps because it was closer to the hill, the terrain here was higher, and the soil was noticeably harder. The trees were also comparatively taller.
As he walked slowly, Chuck even discovered a citrus tree.
Tall branches bore quite a few greenish-yellow citrus fruits.
This was an unexpected find.
"Maybe I can pick some to take back later," Chuck murmured softly. But just as he was about to approach, his gaze suddenly fixed.
On closer inspection, he found that all the fruits on the tree were concentrated at heights of two to three meters or more. Even standing on his toes or trying to hook them with a branch, it would be difficult to reach a single one.
And the branches near the ground were completely bare… It was exactly like the apricot trees he used to see by the roadside in his hometown!
Someone was definitely here on this beach!
Realizing this, Chuck's mood grew slightly cautious.
On a deserted island, a sip of water or a single portion of food could be the trigger for a life-or-death struggle. Truly kind and innocent people were a minority in this world.
As he moved forward, the sound of the ocean waves became clearer and clearer.
Finally, a bright light shone through the jungle ahead.
A golden shoreline, similar to the south beach, appeared in his view.
Chuck hid behind a palm tree and scanned the beach.
Quickly, his eyes narrowed.
Not far from the shore, on the sand, stood a shelter made of palm leaves!
Sure enough.
He hesitated for a moment but decided not to reveal himself immediately. He wanted to get closer and scout the situation first.
He crouched low in the jungle, slowly creeping toward the palm leaf hut.
But after only a few steps, a strange noise suddenly caught Chuck's attention.
Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh—
It sounded like a flowing stream.
What is that noise?
Chuck hid himself again, peering toward the source of the sound—a small cluster of palm trees.
His pupils contracted, and his expression instantly froze.
A snow-white, huge, and visually imposing female buttock appeared before Chuck without any warning!
Beneath the giant ass were two rosy heels wearing white flip-flops. On the ground between them, a spreading patch of wetness explained the source of the sound he'd just heard…
Shit!
Chuck clapped a hand over his mouth, then slowly sank into a full squat, completely hiding his body.
This is incredibly weird! Why do I keep stumbling into things like this?
Running into Julia while she was bathing was one thing, but now he'd caught an unfamiliar woman peeing!
He could make an excuse with the already uninhibited foreign woman before, but this time was different.
He couldn't just walk up and squat next to her and ask, "Need toilet paper?"
He'd be caught red-handed, and there would be no way to explain himself.
While he wasn't afraid of offending a woman, they were on a deserted island. If possible, cooperation was best, and becoming an enemy the moment they met was not what Chuck wanted.
Not to mention, that giant butt… was practically rivaling Julia's.
Forced to hide, Chuck was even more astonished.
Beneath the large cheeks was a dense patch of dark hair, with a subtle hint of pink visible within.
Just looking at the scene, Chuck could almost smell a strong feminine scent.
Looking up, he saw long, black hair, reaching her waist, cascading over a floral sundress that was stretched taut in several places. Unlike the astonishing size of her lower body, her waist appeared quite slender. Judging by her skeletal structure, she was likely a Chinese woman.
Just as Chuck was captivated, the gurgling water sound stopped.
A pair of pale hands gently plucked a leaf from the palm tree, reached down, and lightly wiped the dark 'jungle,' before she slowly rose.
Two massive, soft mounds instantly sprang into view from the angle Chuck had previously been blind to!
Chuck was stunned.
Large?
This was a goddamn Mega-Mound!
Looking at the voluptuous, graceful figure before him, Chuck finally understood.
Despite many flat-chested or less curvy Asian women denying it, there are indeed a minority of Asian women with estrogen levels far exceeding the norm.
In such cases, features like their pelvis and breasts develop precociously in adolescence, surpassing their peers and reaching a size comparable to Western white women. However, they might face discrimination, harassment, or ridicule as a result.
Many develop self-esteem issues or psychological problems. In extreme cases, they might attempt surgical reduction. Those with stronger minds, however, realize as adults that this is not a flaw but a unique, inherent advantage.
This was the legendary "Truly Voluptuous" body type—a natural buff that felt like both a curse and a blessing, an extremely rare find.
And the stranger before him was undoubtedly one of them, and an exceptionally striking one at that.
The woman was about 170 cm (5'7") tall, wearing a flowing floral sundress. Her height, combined with her extremely full, voluptuous figure, made her look like she'd stepped right out of a Korean webtoon.
Just looking at her stirred the most primitive urges in a man.
She stepped away from the palm cluster she had just graced, moving toward the nearby hut in her flip-flops, her rosy feet carrying her slowly.
Even though she was stranded on a desolate island with terrible conditions, the woman exuded an indescribably elegant aura in every movement.
The more Chuck watched, the more curious he became.
He hadn't been able to see her face the entire time.
But just as he was about to get up, a low whisper suddenly sounded right next to his ear.
"Excuse me… are you a pervert?"
