Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

Lin Yun didn’t go in to dig up the mutated chili pepper herself. Instead, she sent Ghost Vine in. The space was too cramped for her to squeeze through, so Ghost Vine had to do the work.

Ghost Vine already knew the procedure by now. It quickly crawled inside, dug out the mutated chili pepper, and placed it into the vine pot it had prepared.

The system, having earned its points, was surprisingly efficient. As soon as the mutated chili pepper was placed in the pot, the system immediately stored it in the temporary space.

Lin Yun continued forward until she reached their original destination.

Before she could even start picking the corn, she spotted several finger-thick insects wriggling across the four- to five-meter-tall corn stalks.

Lin Yun immediately closed her eyes.

How was someone who was afraid of insects supposed to survive in a place like this?

If she didn’t see them, everything was fine. But once she did...

It felt like the sky was falling.

Her intuition also told her that she would probably have to deal with insects quite often in the future.

After all, she was living in the mountains.

The thought alone made Lin Yun shudder.

Chen Anna and Yao An’an, who had been lagging behind, finally caught up.

"Sister Lin, why aren’t you picking anything?"

Lin Yun pointed toward the corn stalk where she had seen the insects.

"Wow, is that a corn weevil?" Yao An’an walked closer and took a look. "I remember reading online that overly sweet corn attracts insects, but this one is huge."

Yao An’an wasn’t afraid of bugs at all.

"I didn’t see any insects when we were picking the other vegetables."

The moment she said that, the other two realized something was wrong.

Indeed, they hadn’t seen any insects on the vegetables they had picked earlier.

It made sense that there were none on vegetables with strong scents, such as scallions and chili peppers.

But what about the tomatoes and cucumbers?

Lin Yun shook her head.

Whatever.

Once she returned to the mountain, she would definitely search every corner until she found some kind of exotic plant that could repel insects!

"Xiao Teng, today’s corn harvest depends on you."

Ghost Vine had been entrusted with another important task by Lin Yun.

It was secretly delighted, although Lin Yun herself had no intention of approaching those insects.

The other two quickly realized that Lin Yun was afraid of bugs. After exchanging a glance, they said, "Sister Lin, we’ll help you pick them!"

Before Lin Yun could refuse, the two girls had already taken clothes from their backpacks and wrapped themselves from head to toe, making sure there was no exposed skin where insects could crawl inside.

Although they weren’t afraid of bugs, having insects crawl into their clothes would still be disgusting.

Lin Yun shook her head and let them do as they pleased.

She set the woven bags aside and began looking around the small courtyard to see if there were any other vegetables worth collecting.

Once Ghost Vine entered the cornfield, it was like a wild horse that had been released.

Not a single vine was idle.

Two vines carried woven bags while the others frantically picked corn.

Chen Anna and Yao An’an:

"..."

It seemed their help wasn’t needed at all.

One Ghost Vine was probably more than twice as efficient as the two of them combined.

Remembering that Lin Yun had agreed to divide the harvest fairly, Ghost Vine quietly separated its portion from theirs and only picked the corn that belonged to Lin Yun.

While harvesting, Ghost Vine suddenly discovered a corn plant hidden deep within the field.

It was slightly taller than Lin Yun, and—most importantly—there wasn’t a single insect on it!

Ghost Vine immediately became excited.

Unlike Lin Yun, it couldn’t see the detailed information displayed by the system, but this corn clearly looked different from the others.

It knew it had found something good!

Without even calling Lin Yun over, Ghost Vine began digging it out by itself, huffing and puffing as it worked.

The system had noticed Ghost Vine’s movements long ago, but remained silent.

The moment Ghost Vine dug out the corn plant and placed it into the vine pot, the system immediately stored it in the temporary space.

Lin Yun had no idea what had happened and was still wandering around the courtyard.

Unfortunately, the moment she spotted another insect, it crawled out from somewhere nearby.

Lin Yun’s scalp immediately went numb.

She had no choice but to grab a handful of scallions and carry them around with her as a physical insect repellent.

Before long, Ghost Vine happily dragged several woven bags filled with corn over.

[I found another mutant in the cornfield! Let the system show you!]

Another mutant?!

Lin Yun was surprised.

She hadn’t expected to find one among the corn as well!

She quickly took a closer look, and sure enough, the system’s information appeared.

[Corn: A mutated variety with high yields and excellent adaptability to all types of soil. Consuming it doubles the feeling of fullness and keeps you from feeling hungry for 24 hours. You can even specify what kind of corn you want it to produce!]

"You can tell it what kind you want?"

Lin Yun was speechless.

Were all mutated plants this... unique?

After storing the mutated corn, Lin Yun became even more determined to visit the flower market later.

Mutated plants were definitely valuable.

The more she could collect, the better.

After waiting for a while, Chen Anna and Yao An’an finally emerged from the cornfield.

They brushed the insects that had somehow crawled onto their clothes away before walking over to Lin Yun.

"We’ve picked almost all of it. Shall we head back now?"

Lin Yun nodded.

"Let’s go."

She turned around and walked away, her steps slightly unsteady.

Chen Anna and Yao An’an immediately burst out laughing.

They could tell that Lin Yun had probably wanted to flee the cornfield for a long time.

There had simply been too many insects.

Once they finally left the vegetable garden, Lin Yun breathed a long sigh of relief. The goosebumps covering her skin gradually disappeared.

"I’m leaving now. I still have other things to do, so I won’t stay with you."

After saying goodbye to Chen Anna, Lin Yun prepared to leave.

Although Chen Anna and Yao An’an were reluctant to part with her, they had only met halfway through the apocalypse. They had no reason to ask her to stay.

"Okay. See you next time, and make sure you both stay safe!"

Lin Yun nodded, waved at them, and left.

She determined her direction and headed toward the camphor tree.

As she passed an intersection, she suddenly noticed a bicycle parked in front of a small shop.

Lin Yun walked over and checked it.

The bicycle wasn’t damaged.

She immediately stored it.

"I completely forgot to get a vehicle yesterday."

After leaving the flower market yesterday, she had thought that she could look around on the way and find a car.

Walking everywhere was simply too exhausting.

Now that she had a bicycle, getting around would be much easier.

Lin Yun quickly approached the camphor tree’s territory.

The camphor tree recognized the little girl from the previous day and greeted her before she even reached it.

"I promised to bring you some water yesterday."

Lin Yun stopped beneath the camphor tree, took the two basins of water from her backpack, and poured them over its roots.

[Thank you.]

[Speaking of which, it hasn’t rained in quite some time. I wonder when it’ll finally rain again.]

Lin Yun looked up at the sky.

It was almost noon, and the sunlight was becoming increasingly scorching.

She sighed.

"I’ve been sweating nonstop for the past two days, and my clothes are already soaked through."

"In this world, being able to survive is already good enough. Who cares whether it rains or not?"

[That’s true.]

"Alright, I’ll be going now. I said I’d visit the flower market yesterday, but I never got the chance."

[Okay. Be careful.]

[There are many plants in the flower market, and some of them may be aggressive. It’s quite far from here, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there.]

[Please be careful.]
