Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

The weeping bottlebrush was already at death’s door, but it was helpless because it was the perfect target!

It couldn’t run away, and it couldn’t fight back.

Ghost Vine’s tendrils lashed fiercely at its branches, and with every strike, large sections of branches crashed to the ground.

The weeping bottlebrush was heartbroken. It hadn’t been easy for it to grow this large. It had finally driven away all the surrounding plants and become the king of this place, only to be beaten into such a miserable state.

[Please! Can I give you the beast crystals? Please don’t kill me!]

"Beast crystals? What’s that? Let me see."

What’s this good stuff? I’ve never heard of it before. Let me take a look.

From the deepest part of the weeping bottlebrush tree, several tiny beast crystals fell to the ground.

While keeping an eye on the bottlebrush to prevent it from causing trouble, Ghost Vine quickly used its tendrils to gather all the beast crystals. It then extended its attack range beyond the weeping bottlebrush and handed them over to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun glanced at them.

There weren’t many—only six—and each one was tiny, about the size of a fingernail.

[Beast Crystal: ???]

"System, what does that mean? What are the details?"

Lin Yun looked again and found that the detailed information contained only three question marks, leaving her completely baffled.

[I don’t know. Why don’t you sell them to me?]

Lin Yun’s eyes darted around.

The system couldn’t possibly not know what these things were, could it?

They must be valuable. Otherwise, why would the system ask her to sell them?

After carefully storing the beast crystals, Lin Yun turned around again.

Then, seemingly unintentionally, she revealed the two types of sunflower seeds in her backpack.

Ghost Vine instantly understood what Lin Yun meant. With a grin, it stretched out its tendrils and rolled up a handful of sunflower seeds.

Lin Yun sighed again.

"Sigh, these sunflower seeds really don’t last long. There aren’t many left. I wish we could grow sunflowers."

As she spoke, she lifted her foot and prepared to leave.

But the weeping bottlebrush was dumbfounded.

Damn it!

It had already handed over the beast crystals, so why was this vine still attacking it?!

[You took my beast crystals! Shouldn’t you let me go?! Why are you still hitting me?!]

"What are you mumbling about? I can’t understand you."

[You despicable human! You’re a liar! Is this how your human parents taught you?! Shameless and despicable!]

Lin Yun picked at her ear again.

What happened?

They were already in an infinite apocalyptic world. What need did she have for manners or morality?

Lin Yun had already abandoned all those notions of manners and morality.

Besides, what moral principles were you supposed to discuss with a plant?

That was ridiculous.

[Ah—you despicable human! I curse you!]

Those words made Lin Yun take the matter a little more seriously.

She asked the system, "It didn’t really curse me, did it?"

[Come to your senses. It doesn’t even know your name.]

"Then I feel much more at ease."

A few minutes later, the bottlebrush tree, shattered by the exploding sunflower seeds, finally collapsed with a deafening roar.

Lin Yun sighed again.

It seemed she couldn’t continue exploring the flower market.

She looked toward the depths of the market. There was still quite a distance to go.

Never mind. She would come back next time.

The branches and leaves of the weeping bottlebrush seemed to have been drained of their life force and gradually withered away.

The plants that had suffered under its oppression seemed to sense its death and suddenly became active again.

When the weeping bottlebrush fell, it was like a heavy mountain crashing down, crushing many plants beneath it.

However, those plants displayed astonishing vitality. They clung to its fallen body like hungry tigers pouncing on prey, greedily absorbing the nutrients from the bottlebrush to nourish themselves.

The weeping bottlebrush had absorbed too much energy from the surrounding plants and already possessed a considerable amount of energy itself.

Now that it had fallen, that energy had not yet dissipated. Like a timely rain, it directly benefited the nearby plants.

Some plants farther away miraculously began growing toward the fallen bottlebrush after sensing that energy, trying to claim a share.

Some plants that had already absorbed nutrients seemed unhappy about having more competitors. They quietly pushed away the plants around them so they could absorb more nutrients for themselves.

Lin Yun was truly shocked to see the plants fighting over the nutrients.

This situation was like a whale fall.

In other places, a whale fall could give rise to countless forms of life. But now, it was as if the falling of a tree had given rise to countless lives.

She shook her head and stepped forward, using a stick to pry away the plants covering the fallen tree.

She hadn’t even checked whether there were any wood crystals inside yet.

[Wood crystals detected. Submit them now?]

"Submit."

[1 Wood Crystal Submitted. Quest Progress (2/5). Please keep up the good work.]

The plants being pushed aside thought that this human was also going to compete with them for nutrients.

However, since the weeping bottlebrush had been killed by the human and the Ghost Vine, they weren’t unreasonable and immediately made room for her.

Lin Yun: "?"

Thank you, but I’m not going to eat it.

She then looked at Ghost Vine, wondering if it wanted to eat it.

[?]

Ghost Vine, which was still digging through the bones, noticed her gaze and looked back at Lin Yun.

Although Ghost Vine was nothing more than a mass of vines, for some reason, Lin Yun could clearly understand what it was trying to convey.

Lin Yun gestured toward the fallen tree again.

Ghost Vine glanced at the weeping bottlebrush.

In fact, it had already secretly absorbed half of it.

Hehe.

They dug out all the bones from beneath the tree and handed them to Lin Yun.

After Lin Yun submitted them, she received 43.4 points.

She was quite surprised. She hadn’t expected there to be so many points.

Her progress toward reaching the task’s point requirement had already passed the halfway mark.

Lin Yun randomly picked another shop and went inside.

She found some flowerpots that weren’t broken and took them with her.

She planned to grow her own vegetables later. Who knew what the world would become in the future?

Having almost finished everything she needed to do, Lin Yun planned to leave before the other survivors in town caught up with her.

But after taking only a few steps, she was stopped.

Lin Yun halted and looked at the tabby cat standing in front of her.

She didn’t know whether the tabby cat was friend or foe, or what it wanted from her.

The tabby cat glanced at the fallen bottlebrush tree behind Lin Yun.

Then it silently put down the object it had been carrying in its mouth and used one paw to push it toward Lin Yun.

It was as if it were saying:

Here you go.

The tabby cat showed no hostility toward Lin Yun.

After silently glancing at her twice, it turned around and left.

Lin Yun was a little confused. She didn’t understand what the tabby cat meant.

"We don’t even know each other. Why is it suddenly giving me something?"

She stepped forward and picked up what the tabby cat had left behind.

Two beast crystals.

They were larger than the beast crystals the weeping bottlebrush had just given her.

The tabby cat had already left, and Lin Yun couldn’t return them, so she simply stored them away.

"Xiao Teng, it’s time to go home."

Ghost Vine rushed over in a flash and climbed onto Lin Yun’s shoulder just as quickly.

Lin Yun took out her bicycle again and rode out of the flower market.

She still needed to bring the little ivy back.

Now that she had a temporary space, how could she possibly forget about it again?

Meanwhile, the ivy was still happily climbing around, completely unaware that someone had come to collect it.

Its tendrils swayed as it climbed into the shop, eventually covering the entire store.

The survivors who had discovered that this place was a department store didn’t dare to enter.

Ivy was clearly not something to be trifled with, so they quickly walked away.
