In the wilderness, we have no professional distillation equipment—we must use whatever is at hand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly found a large salt-alkali stone with a flat surface, pulled out his dagger, and polished the surface clean, turning it into a simple base for the container.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he took parachute cloth from his backpack, cut out a rectangular piece, and gathered some dried camel thorn, piling it beside the salt-alkali stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved the parachute cloth in front of the camera and smiled: “This cloth of mine is waterproof and heat-resistant—perfect for a condensation device. The camel thorn will fuel the fire, providing heat; when the lake water boils, the steam rises, hits the cloth, and condenses into droplets—that’s pure drinking water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he explained, Qin Yun moved swiftly, his motions precise and without a single wasted gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He used his dagger to dig a shallow pit in the center of the salt-alkali stone, smoothed the walls, then scooped some lake water by hand and poured it into the pit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he draped the parachute cloth over the pit, securing its edges tightly with broken stones, then pressed a clean rock down onto the cloth’s center to form a funnel, finally placing another clean stone beneath the funnel to collect the condensed droplets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666, Brother Qin’s move is unmatched—clearly experienced.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Learned it, learned it—next time I’m in the wild and can’t drink the water, I’ll do exactly this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qin’s hands-on skills are insane—he can do everything, damn it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry up, light the fire and see if it works!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun finished assembling the setup: “Look everyone, this simple distillation device is ready. Once the fire heats the stone, the lake water boils, producing steam; the steam rises, hits the cloth, condenses into droplets, and drips down along the funnel-shaped cloth onto the stone below—we just collect these droplets to get pure drinking water.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he began drilling wood to make fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wilderness is inconvenient like this—no fire source, so you have to start from scratch every time. A lighter would be ideal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As these thoughts crossed his mind, he quickly ignited the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flames leapt, beginning to heat the salt-alkali stone. He crouched beside it, carefully adjusting the cloth’s position to ensure the steam condensed properly into droplets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The key to distillation is controlling the fire—neither too strong nor too weak,” Qin Yun explained as he adjusted the flames. “If the fire is too strong, the steam evaporates too quickly and won’t condense fully. If it’s too weak, the water won’t boil, and not enough steam will be produced.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly. As the sun reached its zenith, the air temperature rose. The flame now boiled the water in the pit, bubbling steadily; steam rose continuously, condensed into tiny droplets upon hitting the cloth, and dripped slowly onto the stone below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Success!” A faint smile appeared on Qin Yun’s face as he angled the camera toward the stone. “Look—droplets have formed. These are pure drinking water, free of salt, alkali, and sulfur—safe to drink.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully caught a droplet with his fingertip and put it in his mouth, his expression one of satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, sweet and tasty—no different from the water we drink normally.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream audience erupted, comments flooding the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“666, Brother Qin is awesome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It actually worked—though not surprising.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master math, physics, chemistry, and you’ll fear nothing under heaven.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Haha, Brother Qin is mighty—now we’ve got water, we’re safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun didn’t rush to collect the droplets; instead, he continued adjusting the fire to stabilize the distillation process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finally finding a large sulfur lake, it would be a waste not to collect more water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qin, if the lake water isn’t drinkable, how do desert animals survive? Don’t they fear poison?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this comment, Qin Yun replied: “Someone asked how animals drink. It’s simple. Do you remember how I detected moisture on our way down?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A netizen immediately replied: “The dampness on the rock walls.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly,” Qin Yun nodded. “Animals living in the desert have evolved—innately possessing extreme drought resistance. A tiny amount of moisture is enough for their needs. The dew on the rock walls suffices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun took down his canteen and fashioned a simple drainage device, allowing the condensed droplets to slowly flow into the canteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though slow, he estimated that in a little over half an hour, the 500ml canteen would fill. Still, he planned to use the parachute cloth as another container to collect about a liter more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, collecting all the water he needed would take over two hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the distillation device ran steadily and droplets continued falling into the canteen, another change occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low growl suddenly echoed from behind—clearer, fiercer than last night’s beast roar, and closer than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun sprang to his feet, turning toward the path he’d come. In an instant, his gaze sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, it’s wolves—just like last night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There are a lot of them—Brother Qin, run, escape is best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re screwed—the wolf pack’s here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s to fear? Brother Qin has taken down two wolves before—he’s not scared.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, look at the terrain—this sulfur lake is wide open, no cover. If there are many wolves, Brother Qin’s in danger.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun didn’t panic. He gripped his bow, slipped his dagger into his belt, and nocked an arrow. He swiftly scanned the terrain—flat, exposed, no cover anywhere. Avoiding the wolf pack was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And fleeing? Even more impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two legs can’t outrun four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the sounds drew nearer, he could tell the pack was smaller than yesterday’s, but still at least three or five wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello everyone, I’m Qin Yun. I’m currently beside a sulfur lake in the Qaidam Desert. Unsurprisingly, desert wolves have smelled me—or perhaps this is their usual watering spot. My presence has been seen as a threat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice remained calm, utterly composed: “I have nowhere to hide—I must face them head-on. Don’t worry. I’m skilled with the bow and have some basic martial knowledge. A few wolves—I can handle them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, he’s showing off again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qin, be humble—don’t get flipped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I love watching Brother Qin show off—so cool.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m gonna have Qin Yun’s babies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun glanced back at the distillation device, then walked away. Not even fifty meters later, five gray-black desert wolves burst from around a corner, crouching and snarling as they surrounded him, just fifteen meters away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the center stood a massive male wolf, its fur dark, eyes fierce, saliva dripping from its jaws, locked onto Qin Yun with a low, rumbling growl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other wolves also growled at Qin Yun, eyes brimming with hostility, inching closer step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The livestream viewers’ hearts stopped; comments flooded the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh my god, so many wolves—terrifying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over—Brother Qin is done, the stream’s ending.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can Brother Qin beat them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you kidding? Five wolves, and he’s got only a handmade bow and one dagger—what good is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fengliu Sister sent the streamer twenty Carnival tokens—Brother Qin, you can do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pola Brother…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flood of gifts scrolled past, but Qin Yun didn’t notice—he stared fixedly at the lead wolf, showing no retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get lost!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he roared, spreading his limbs wide, appearing like a colossal beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wolves were startled by his sudden roar and stepped back—except the lead wolf, which showed no fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Roar—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The terrifying growl grew fiercer as the lead wolf lunged forward, closing the distance by several meters. The other desert wolves followed, advancing on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crisis was imminent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun’s eyes turned cold. His right hand drew the bowstring, pulling it taut in one swift motion—the bow became a full moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you won’t leave, you die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lead wolf sensed the threat; its growl deepened, its fur bristled—but it still didn’t retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wolves are intelligent animals, highly obedient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, that’s exactly what was happening—the lead wolf didn’t retreat, so none of the others would either. They acted in unison, with their own tactics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun said slowly: “These wolves are smart—they’re testing first, then surrounding. The lead wolf distracts me; the others flank and ambush. Once I show a weakness, they’ll pounce and tear out my vital spots.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, Brother Qin is so calm—surrounded by wolves and still as steady as an old dog.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why he’s Brother Qin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go, Brother Qin—kill them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment—*Bang!*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yun released the bowstring. The arrow shot like lightning, slicing through the air and thudding into the ground just in front of the lead wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden move clearly startled the wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I could scare them off, that’d be best—I’d rather avoid bloodshed… damn it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Qin Yun finished speaking, the lead wolf roared and charged straight at him, moving at blinding speed, aiming for his abdomen. Simultaneously, the four wolves on either side circled around, attempting to attack his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re attacking!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qin, dodge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch your back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over—front and back under attack, Brother Qin’s done, screen’s going black.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless viewers held their breath, eyes glued to the screen, not daring to blink for fear of missing the critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The AI drone operator knew livestreaming—right now, the camera locked tightly onto the scene from a third-person perspective, crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last possible instant, Qin Yun’s expression didn’t change. His body moved as if he’d predicted it—he sidestepped sharply left, evading the lead wolf’s lunge. Simultaneously, his right hand released the bowstring—*whoosh!*—the arrow flew through the air and struck the lead wolf’s left front leg with perfect accuracy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the bow’s power was limited—it only scratched the wolf’s skin, causing no real injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the sudden arrow startled the lead wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pain also ignited its ferocity—its eyes grew even more vicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Qin Yun’s side, after firing the arrow, the four desert wolves behind him had closed in. He stomped the ground, leapt upward, barely avoiding their attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he landed, stepping squarely on the head of one wolf, and brought down his full weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body descended like a mountain crushing down—without effort, the wolf was pinned beneath his foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『Bang!』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a loud crash, Qin Yun’s right hand suddenly produced a dagger, which swiftly slashed across the wolf’s throat before he rolled aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle erupted immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>",1769,"2026-06-20T21:37:28.858Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ad86c2fe27cfc83e84e0944660c306af65f28e6836575741a6ab9aee81375d39","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-110","bound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-chapter-108",329,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbound-to-the-sign-in-system-i-took-off-cover.jpg"]
