Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

"At least 2 points. Otherwise, I’m not selling it."

"A steamed bun costs 2 points in the Points Mall, but this ear of corn is huge and much more filling than a steamed bun. Is 2 points really too much? No, definitely not."

[...]

This host would actually haggle over the price of ordinary corn. I can’t even imagine how much she’d charge if she ever tried to sell me mutant corn.

"Do you want it or not? If not, I’ll keep it for myself." Lin Yun grinned, finally getting her chance to turn the tables.

[...I want it!]

That damned host! It’s going to have to raise all the prices in the Points Mall!

Lin Yun was delighted. She narrowed her eyes and said, "I’ll sell you 50 ears of ordinary corn. In exchange, you can directly expand my shelter by 2 square meters."

[...Fine.]

[Expanding shelter...]

A thin layer of mist once again appeared over the walls.

Ivy, who had been secretly peeking out, was stunned.

Who was this terrifying human?!

How frightening!

Holy crap! How had the space suddenly become larger?!

Was she one of those monsters from the TV shows?!

Mom, I saw a monster!

The shelter expansion was complete.

After admiring her newly expanded 12-square-meter room, Lin Yun nodded in satisfaction and took out another large bag of packages to continue unpacking.

Seeing this, Gui Teng immediately snatched the fruit knife from Lin Yun’s hand.

"I’ll do it! I’ll do it!"

Lin Yun didn’t object. She simply grabbed something to sit on and watched.

This little vine still hadn’t lost its enthusiasm for opening packages.

Soon, a huge package was opened, nearly covering the entire floor.

Lin Yun instructed Gui Teng to build a shelf on the wall opposite the bed so that she could put all her belongings on it.

The broken items were collected by the system as garbage, earning her 1 point.

After a busy day, Lin Yun was exhausted. She simply patted her clothes, climbed into bed, and went to sleep.

Seeing that Lin Yun had fallen asleep again, Gui Teng immediately perked up.

It ran over to the corner and looked at the ivy, which was still pretending to be dead.

It immediately straightened itself proudly.

[Hey, kid. Say something!]

Ivy: [Big brother! I don’t taste good! Please don’t eat me! Let me go! Please! Waaaaah!]

[From now on, behave yourself. Do whatever I tell you. Understand?]

As the eldest son of this family, Gui Teng felt obligated to teach this illegitimate little brother a lesson.

Ivy froze for a moment before cautiously asking, [You’re not going to eat me?]

[Are you crazy? Do you even know if you’re edible? With that tiny amount of energy in you, you wouldn’t even be enough for one bite.]

[That weeping bottlebrush from the flower market was much better than you. Look, I even ate it!]

As it lectured Ivy, Gui Teng waved its little vines and lashed them against the ground.

Ivy shrank back, terrified that it would get whipped.

[Okay, okay! It’s a deal, right? You won’t eat me? I’ll definitely obey!]

[As long as you behave.]

With that, Gui Teng slipped out of the shelter to amuse itself.

It simply couldn’t sit still.

Seeing that it had left, Ivy finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly uncurled its body.

If not for the pressures of survival, it wouldn’t want to stay curled up like a ball either. After being in that position for so long, the vines on its body were practically numb.

It cautiously glanced at Lin Yun, who was sleeping on the bed, then draped one of its vines over the Star Tea Tree beside it and comfortably stretched out its leaves.

Not long after Gui Teng left its territory, it sensed the presence of the mutated gray wolf from earlier that day.

The mutated gray wolf appeared nearby at some point.

The moment it saw Gui Teng emerge from its territory, it immediately charged forward and pounced.

Gui Teng quickly dodged, causing the gray wolf to miss.

Enraged, the wolf opened its blood-red jaws and lunged at Gui Teng again.

Gui Teng nimbly weaved between its attacks. Seizing an opportunity, it suddenly wrapped several vines around one of the gray wolf’s legs and violently yanked.

The gray wolf was slammed heavily onto the ground.

It cried out in pain as it struggled back to its feet, its eyes filled with ferocity.

[Ghost Vine, don’t think you and that human can stay safely on this mountain forever. That human is hiding in your territory, isn’t she?]

[Although I don’t know exactly where you’ve hidden her, she’s definitely still nearby, right? Do you think she’ll starve to death if she can’t leave your territory?]

The mutated gray wolf hadn’t forgotten all the trouble it had suffered at the hands of the human and the vines earlier that day.

It would never let them get away with it.

That was why it had come seeking revenge in the middle of the night.

[Pah! You think you have any right to target humans?]

Gui Teng lashed out with another vine.

The mutated gray wolf dodged the attack and sneered.

[Don’t you think that’s a little ridiculous? It’s not like you’ve never eaten humans before.]

Gui Teng froze.

It had never eaten a human!

What happened a few days ago had been an accident. Those people had trespassed into its territory first!

Besides, Lin Yun hadn’t said anything about it.

What right did this mutated gray wolf have to lecture it?!

[Mind your own business! My daughter hasn’t even said anything, and you’re already giving me a lecture? I’ll slap some sense into you!]

Gui Teng immediately bared its teeth and attacked again.

[Is that so? Then I hope your master thinks the same way.]

The mutated gray wolf wore a strange smile, as though it were mocking Gui Teng for overestimating itself.

This infuriated Gui Teng even more.

It swung its vines and continued attacking the mutated gray wolf.

The gray wolf dodged and began circling Gui Teng, searching for an opportunity to strike while continuing to provoke it.

[But now that I think about it, you’re really pathetic. We mutated plants and animals have gained intelligence. How could we possibly be stupid enough to acknowledge a human as our master?]

[Isn’t it better to be free and unrestrained? Why put a leash around your own neck?]

[If the other mutated creatures found out about this, do you think they wouldn’t laugh at you? And what about the wild beasts in the mountains? If they learned that a human was living here, do you think they wouldn’t come and try everything they could to eat her? Even you probably wouldn’t escape unscathed.]

Gui Teng’s anger gradually faded.

[Are you threatening me?]

[No, no, no. How could you call it a threat? I simply want to discuss a deal with you. How about it? Interested?]

The mutated gray wolf’s words were filled with barely concealed manipulation.

[Get lost! Do you think you’re qualified to negotiate with me? Don’t you know your place? Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting!]

Gui Teng lashed out with its vines again.

The mutated gray wolf’s expression changed, and it hurriedly dodged.

Why was this Ghost Vine so impossible to manipulate?

It hadn’t reacted at all, even after all those words.

Since they couldn’t reach an agreement, there was no point in talking anymore.

Either way, Ghost Vine and that human were going to die.

Suddenly, the gray wolf accelerated and pounced at Gui Teng from the side.

Gui Teng hurriedly dodged, but one of the wolf’s claws still managed to graze it.

Gui Teng hissed in pain, anger surging through it.

Countless vines lashed toward the mutated gray wolf like whips.

The gray wolf was forced backward, and bloody marks appeared across its body.

Just as Gui Teng thought it was about to defeat the wolf, a larger mutated wolf suddenly rushed out from the nearby forest.

It was the gray wolf’s companion.

The two wolves attacked Gui Teng together, and Gui Teng was immediately caught in a fierce battle.

Just as it began to falter, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

Then—

BOOM!

A massive explosion erupted.

Gui Teng turned its head.

Oh no!

It was Youyou!

She had come to save it again!

"Hey, what were you whispering to my little vine about? Why don’t you know to keep your little schemes to yourself?"

Lin Yun hadn’t left Gui Teng’s territory.

Although she spoke harshly, she was still somewhat uncertain about facing two mutated wolves at once.

However, she couldn’t just leave Gui Teng to fight them alone.

Gui Teng was no longer merely a companion plant in her shelter.

It was her partner.

Lin Yun stared at the two mutated wolves.

One of them was the wolf they had injured together earlier that day. The other was completely unharmed.

Getting rid of both of them tonight wouldn’t be easy.

[Awoooo!]

[Damned human! You’re going to die today!]

The wounded mutated gray wolf immediately charged at Lin Yun.

As it rushed forward, Lin Yun shouted, "Little Vine, take the other one!"

[Got it!]

When the mutated gray wolf pounced, Lin Yun didn’t dodge.

A stick suddenly appeared in her hand, and she thrust it toward the wolf’s neck.

The mutated gray wolf’s pupils contracted, and it quickly twisted its body to dodge.

But to its surprise, Lin Yun immediately produced an even shorter Vajra Ant leg bone and smashed it hard against its foreleg.

The mutated gray wolf cried out in pain, its attack faltering for a moment.

Then, enduring the pain, it lunged at her again.

It wanted this human dead!

Lin Yun retreated again.

Just as she was about to find the right moment to lash the wolf with her stalk stick—

"Meow!"

A huge tabby cat suddenly charged in from the left and slammed into the mutated gray wolf, knocking it away.

The tabby cat stood protectively in front of Lin Yun and hissed at the wolf.

Lin Yun was stunned.

How had this tabby cat gotten here?!

And why had it suddenly rushed out to protect her?

At the same time, the vines within Gui Teng’s territory quickly wrapped themselves around the mutated gray wolf.

The wolf that had been knocked away by the tabby cat happened to land right beside the vines marking Gui Teng’s territory.

The mutated gray wolf struggled desperately, but the more it struggled, the tighter the vines became.

Unable to break free, it had no choice but to call out to its companion for help.

If it didn’t call for help soon, it would die here!

However, the other mutated wolf was already entangled by several thick vines and couldn’t spare any attention for it.

The wolf struggled violently and managed to break several of Gui Teng’s vines.

Lin Yun quickly took out several Exploding Sunflower Seeds and Frost Sunflower Seeds and threw them toward the mutated wolf.

Several loud explosions rang out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The mutated wolf was blasted backward, its body covered in wounds and large patches of its fur singed.

Seeing that it couldn’t gain any advantage, the mutated wolf turned around and fled into the forest, abandoning its companion.

As it fled, it cursed the mutated gray wolf in its heart.

What trouble had that bastard gotten it into?!

It had claimed that this was just a helpless human who could be easily torn apart and eaten alive.

Did she look helpless?!

It wasn’t stupid enough to knowingly throw its life away when it couldn’t win.

Weren’t the prey in the mountains tasty enough?

Why had it needed to provoke humans?

As the mutated wolf ran deeper into the forest, it swore that it would never listen to those idiots again.

It had only followed that fool because it believed its nonsense.

It had tried to steal a chicken and ended up losing the rice instead.

It deserved this!

Lin Yun didn’t chase after it.

She put away her weapon and walked over to Gui Teng to inspect its injuries.

"Little Vine, are you okay?"

Gui Teng gently swayed its vines.

[I’m fine, Youyou. Just a few vines were torn off. How did you wake up?]

Lin Yun chuckled and gently stroked its vines.

"I’m asleep, not dead. Besides, did you forget that Ivy is also inside the shelter?"

Upon hearing this, Gui Teng gave a proud snort.

[That kid is sensible!]
