Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches
Chapter 10: Plants & Mutated PlantsForget it. It didn’t care.
It had already seen the severed limbs scattered on the ground from a distance. There was no doubt that this was the right scent.
However, it seemed that quite a few of them had escaped.
A trace of disdain flashed through its eyes. This damn vine was nothing special. To think it had actually let so much food escape.
It licked its lips. Since this damn vine couldn’t take down all the prey, it couldn’t blame it for coming over to claim a share.
It knew that the prey that had appeared here were humans. When its body had undergone its transformation, it had immediately rushed into the human world and devoured the food it had coveted for so long.
Humans.
Delicious.
It stared at the vine spread across the ground, looking as lifeless as a dead plant, then snorted coldly and rushed in the direction the Survivors had fled earlier.
These humans were all scattered now. It had to eat them all before the other beasts discovered them!
Not long after it left, the vine that had been lying motionless on the ground, pretending to be dead, suddenly twitched.
...
After returning to the Shelter, Lin Yun placed the Star Tea Tree at the entrance, completely blocking the door.
"Expand one square meter to the right of the wooden door."
[Points deducted. Shelter expansion in progress...]
[Shelter expansion complete!]
[Are you sure you don’t want to expand a little more? You still have more than 200 points. Look at how cramped the Star Tea Tree is here.]
The System coaxed her shamelessly.
"I’ll expand it if you remove the purchase limit."
Lin Yun snorted coldly. This brat was still trying to trick her into spending points on expansion without removing the limit. It only knew how to covet her hard-earned points!
She took a cup, entered the bathroom, and drew two cups of water from the faucet before pouring them over the roots of the Star Tea Tree.
She couldn’t let this plant die. It had cost her points!
After that, she ate the remaining steamed bun to fill her stomach. Then, she took the empty mineral water bottle into the bathroom and filled it with water. The System had already said that the purified water was safe to drink directly.
She stored the bowl of Shredded Pork with Garlic Sauce over Rice in her inventory, planning to eat it tomorrow.
She took some edible Sunflower Seeds and the filled water bottle and put them into her backpack. She also placed one Vajra Ant Leg Bone inside, leaving the other one in the Shelter to save a backpack slot.
Four backpack slots were now occupied, leaving eight slots.
After reaching the city tomorrow, she would have to carefully decide what supplies to bring back first.
It was pitch-black outside, and she had nothing to entertain herself with, so Lin Yun simply went into the bathroom to take a shower and wash her clothes.
After changing into clean clothes, she carefully looked outside through the peephole. Once she confirmed there was no danger, she opened the wooden door.
"Little Vine, can you help me hang the clothes up there?"
Ghost Vine stared at the clothes in confusion.
Huh?
Hang them where?
Hang them on itself?
"Just hang them on the tree. They shouldn’t get blown away."
Ghost Vine thought about it for a moment before obediently hanging the clothes up. It then followed Lin Yun back into the Shelter.
Before going to sleep, Lin Yun checked on the Star Tea Tree again. She was worried that it might not adapt to its new environment and simply wither.
Fortunately, the Star Tea Tree seemed quite easy to care for. It hadn’t shown any problems after being transplanted.
Just as she was about to turn around and get into bed, the detailed information that appeared before her caught her attention.
[Star Tea Tree
Level: D-grade Plant
Function: Its fruit is edible, with high water content and a sweet taste. Its leaves can be brewed into tea, which has cooling and anti-itching effects. Non-toxic.
Status: Growth stage. Not yet bearing fruit. Can be transplanted and propagated through branch cuttings once mature. No special planting requirements.]
Lin Yun hadn’t expected the Star Tea Tree’s detailed information to actually change after she brought it back.
"System~"
[Speak.]
"So, I can cultivate plants myself and grow food to eat?"
[You can, as long as you’re willing to spend points and your Shelter is large enough.]
"Can the level of plants be upgraded?"
[I don’t know.]
Lin Yun curled her lips and grabbed Ghost Vine, which had somehow crawled onto her head, and pulled it down.
[Ghost Vine
(Shelter Special Symbiotic Mutated Plant)
Level: A-grade Mutated Plant (grows with the Shelter’s level)
Function: This Mutated Plant has two states. The main vine serves as the Shelter and symbiotic plant, while the smaller main body can accompany the host outside. Essentially, the two are one entity, but they can also be treated as two separate entities. It can be used for attack, defense, and other purposes.
Status: Juvenile stage. Cannot be transplanted or cultivated.]
Special.
Symbiotic.
Mutated Plant.
"System, how do you distinguish between a Mutated Plant and an ordinary plant?"
[I don’t know.]
Lin Yun gritted her teeth.
This damn System used to nag her endlessly, but whenever she asked a serious question, it suddenly became useless.
Sooner or later, she was going to chop it up.
[I can hear you.]
"Please don’t eavesdrop on my thoughts. Can you at least have some boundaries? What a rude System."
[...]
The System was speechless and immediately closed the function that allowed it to listen to her inner thoughts.
Anyway, it could tell from Lin Yun’s expression whenever she was bad-mouthing it.
With nothing else to do, Lin Yun climbed onto the bed, lay down, and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Ghost Vine didn’t need to sleep.
Seeing that Lin Yun had fallen asleep, it quickly became bored.
It jumped around inside the Shelter, tossing things here and there. After making a mess for a while, it grew bored again.
It secretly glanced at Lin Yun, then quietly crept toward the door.
A vine extended out and opened the door.
Ghost Vine slipped outside.
A small wooden door was nothing to it.
The moment it left the Shelter, Ghost Vine completely let itself loose.
It scurried all over its territory. Thinking that it hadn’t eaten enough that day, it rushed into the forest to hunt for food.
Tremble!
Food in the forest! Your Grandpa Ghost Vine is here!
A vine that had once been rooted to a single spot and unable to move freely—now that it could roam wherever it wanted, wasn’t it like a wild horse finally let off its reins?
That night, the animals in the forest suffered greatly.
According to an anonymous Monkey Beast that had luckily escaped Ghost Vine:
"It rushed over in an instant. The moment I fell to the ground, I was thinking, ’What haven’t I eaten in my life?’"
According to an anonymous Sika Deer that had half of its leg whipped off:
"Damn it! Isn’t Ghost Vine supposed to be immobile?! Which traitor said it could only stay rooted in one place and couldn’t move on its own?!"
Ghost Vine burped.
It was full.
It was incredibly happy.
It had never been this full before.
In the past, it had always gone from feast to famine. How could life have ever been this good?
When it couldn’t move around, it had to wait for animals to approach or lure them into traps from a distance.
It had suffered so much back then.
Looking at the half-eaten rabbit beneath it, Ghost Vine decided to bring it back for Lin Yun to taste. It was its way of thanking Lin Yun for giving it the chance to roam freely.
It also wanted to taste that red thing Lin Yun had been holding earlier.
What was it called?
A sausage?
Never mind.
It wanted to eat it.
Ghost Vine enlarged its body and struggled to drag the half-eaten rabbit back.
By the time it returned from the forest, it was already five in the morning.
Afraid of waking Lin Yun, Ghost Vine carefully opened the door, quietly dragged the rabbit inside, and placed it near the entrance.
Lin Yun woke up to the strong smell of blood.
