It was a very silly thing to do, but Leon spent the entire morning throwing shells at a tree. He thought he would be able to level up that skill much more times after doing that hundreds of times, but it looked like repetition wasn't entirely the key to earn the free status point.
”Mmm… maybe the intensity is as important as the repetition is.”
Leon decided to throw the shells with all his might, and he could sense his stamina being used, and then the Throw skill was activated. After the twentieth shot, he received a notification.

”As I expected… the more effort I put into those actions, the faster the skills will level up.”
Leon noticed a slight improvement in his accuracy, thanks to that, he was quite eager to keep doing that, but he stopped when he heard his stomach growling.
”It looks like I became a powerful engine, but the engine consumes too much fuel…”
Coconuts were quite a complete meal, but Leon was tired of breaking them. Soon, he would have to worry about storing water, and there was nothing better nearby than the coconuts.
”I need a knife. A fork also would help…”
While Leon was eating the coconut's meat, he started to walk around looking for a sharp stone. There weren't many rocks on that island, so the number of pebbles was quite small. Leon didn't found a sharp stone, but he found one that could be sharpened. He had to put quite an effort to sharp that stone without breaking it, but he was quite satisfied with the result. He could easily give shape to small pieces of wood with his improvised knife, so perhaps it was time to make good use of the Craft and Accuracy skills.
Leon recalled the documentary he saw one time of how old archers made their own bows. They looked for some resilient branches, cleaned them, and they put several of those together. After that, they used plant fibers as a string. Leon had a hard time finding those branches, but at least he found enough to make a bow with a good grip. However, he stopped because it was getting late again. This time he wouldn't fail on the preparations for the campfire.
Almost everything was ready, so Leon noticed why he failed; the stones he found to create the spark were covered in mold, and the sea breeze also made everything difficult. Once he got rid of those obstacles, he finally lit up the bonfire. The night of that island wasn't that cold, but the warmth and the light of the bonfire were more than welcome.
After making sure the bonfire was stable, Leon resumed his task of creating a bow. Now that he had some extra hours of light where he could work, he had time to finish the bow.
