Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches
Chapter 118: The BackyardLin Yun looked at the plants in the shelter again, found a vegetable that was growing well, and used the Wood Spirit’s Breath on it.
Then, Lin Yun watched as the vegetable suddenly began to grow wildly.
Lin Yun fell silent again.
Should she be glad that the vegetable had been planted in a separate flowerpot, and that when it suddenly grew so large, the flowerpot almost broke?
This was a lettuce, and it was now at least as tall as her thigh.
Was that normal?
Mutant Lettuce
Grade: E-level Mutant Plant
Functions: Edible, crisp and refreshing, and high-yield. It can increase appetite for a short period after consumption. Non-toxic.
Status: Mature. Can be transplanted, but cannot be propagated through branching. No special planting requirements; suitable for planting in all types of soil.
Note: Remember to water it.
Lin Yun was somewhat surprised.
She remembered that this lettuce had been grown from the seeds she found in the seed shop. She hadn’t expected that using the Wood Spirit’s Breath just once would directly turn it into a mutated variety.
Wow, this was good stuff.
After registering it in the contract directory, Lin Yun added the lettuce to the directory.
She then began checking her points. She had been collecting zombie corpses all this time and didn’t know whether she had already reached the maximum number of mission points.
Task Score Cap: 559/400 + 200
Okay, okay. Just a little bit more.
However, there were still a few days before the zombie world ended, so there was still time.
If all else failed, she could always submit zombie crystal cores.
Speaking of which, Lin Yun took a Level 2 crystal core out of the box on the table.
She wanted to see how many points a single crystal core could provide.
[Level 2 Zombie Core submitted. 10 points earned. Points have been credited to your account. Please check.]
"10 points for one crystal core? System, when did you become so generous?"
To be honest, Lin Yun was somewhat surprised.
[Hmm. Well, you’re complaining now that I’ve suddenly become so generous?]
Lin Yun: "..."
Okay.
After tidying up the shelter and sorting through everything that had happened recently, Lin Yun lay down to rest again.
The next day, after waking up, she heard Sang Biao’s excited voice.
"Hey, the rain outside is almost over!"
Lin Yun quickly got up and went to the window to take a look.
That was true.
The rain was only a light drizzle now, and as long as the weather didn’t change, it should stop by the afternoon.
Lin Yun tidied herself up again and went out to the square.
She still needed to complete the task of clearing the zombies from the mall as soon as possible.
After meeting up with Song Xizheng, the two of them began clearing the zombies from the square.
Just as Lin Yun had expected that morning, the rain finally stopped around noon.
"Tsk, tsk. This rain has been falling for at least a month, hasn’t it? It’s finally stopped. If it hadn’t stopped, I would have gone moldy."
The two of them were squatting in a corner eating while looking at the clear sky outside. Song Xizheng sighed with emotion.
Lin Yun took another bite of her dumpling and said, "Indeed, it’s finally stopped."
Before they had even finished their meal, Xu Chi headed straight for the square, followed by Chen Aiguo.
Lin Yun glanced over, then quickly bit off the dumpling in her mouth and stuffed the one in her hand into her backpack.
"I knew you’d be around here."
Xu Chi grinned and walked over.
Lin Yun looked at him warily again.
"What are you doing? Didn’t we agree that we’d go our separate ways once our cooperation ended?"
Xu Chi’s face stiffened.
"This isn’t..."
Chen Aiguo, who was standing to the side, couldn’t stand it anymore and pushed Xu Chi aside.
"It’s like this. We’d like to formally invite you to join our base. All the benefits are negotiable."
Lin Yun looked at Xu Chi, then at Chen Aiguo, and asked, "Didn’t Xu Chi tell you that I’m not joining any base and that I’ll be leaving in a few days?"
"I’ve told them, but they don’t believe me, especially Chen Aiguo. I’ve told them several times, and Ji Mingfeng and the others have also told them, but they just don’t believe me. They insist on coming, and I can’t stop them."
Xu Chi looked helpless.
He hadn’t wanted to come, but Chen Aiguo’s eagerness to recruit talented people had made him insist on coming.
What could he do?
Chen Aiguo scratched his head.
He had originally thought that Xu Chi was trying to recruit Lin Yun and was simply using this excuse to fool them. He hadn’t expected that Xu Chi really didn’t want to recruit her.
"Oh dear, I thought..."
Chen Aiguo laughed awkwardly.
"Hahaha, Miss Lin, please don’t mind me. I didn’t know."
He quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, there used to be a lot of zombies in this square. What are you doing here? Fighting zombies?"
"Yeah. This mall is pretty big. Although the floodwaters submerged the supermarket downstairs last time, there should still be a lot of packaged goods left. We’re planning to come over tomorrow to clear out the zombies. Shall we come together then?"
Song Xizheng and Lin Yun exchanged another glance.
They both had the task of clearing the zombies from the mall, and since someone was offering to help, they naturally wouldn’t refuse.
So, over the next few days, they began clearing the zombies from the square and the shopping mall.
After Wu Yatu left, there were far fewer zombies in these two places.
Before long, Lin Yun completed the task of clearing the square.
The officials also took the opportunity to clear out the zombies in the surrounding area.
However, when the officials went down into the supermarket to search for supplies, they discovered that the supermarket had been emptied at some point.
Completely emptied.
Even the shelves were gone.
Lin Yun didn’t check what happened afterward. She simply stayed in the shelter, tinkering with her new backyard.
Lin Yun had negotiated with the system again because she wanted to turn the backyard into the front yard, but the system wouldn’t budge.
So, the backyard remained the backyard.
Lin Yun and the others worked for a while longer, moving vegetables and plants into the small courtyard.
After consulting the system, she got busy again, planning to transplant the vegetables and other plants into the yard since the flowerpots took up too much space.
After spending a busy day working in the courtyard, she finally finished setting up her vegetable garden.
She even moved the Star Tea Tree outside and planted it in a corner of the courtyard.
The Star Tea Tree had already started bearing fruit, and the faster-growing fruits were already edible.
Lin Yun picked another one and put it into her mouth.
It had a light, sweet taste without being overly cloying, which Lin Yun really liked.
The fruit was small, about the size of a lychee. It had red skin and no seed, so the entire fruit could be eaten directly.
As for the mutated plants, Lin Yun thought about it again and decided not to transplant them into the courtyard.
Instead, she kept them together with the Star Tea Tree in flowerpots.
Oh, she almost forgot to mention it.
The backyard was a separate area. The door to the backyard was next to the window of the shelter; she could simply push the door open and go outside.
Ivy was already used to taking care of the plants, so Lin Yun moved it outside again, but only to the area beneath the window.
It was close by, making it convenient for Ivy to fetch water from the bathroom.
There was also the mutated rose, which had been clamoring to live in the courtyard ever since it learned that Lin Yun had a separate little courtyard.
Lin Yun had no other choice but to take it outside as well.
(I mixed up the two rewards and only realized it today, so I’ll just leave it at that. I was saying yesterday that something felt a bit off while I was writing it.)
