Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

After returning yesterday, she was still worried that she had forgotten to get some fertilizer from the flower market. But then she thought that even if she had fertilizer, it would have already been taken up by the plants.

Now it’s great, we have it ready-made.

However, I still need to go to the flower market another day; I haven’t explored it all yet.

It’s such a pity that such a big weeping bottlebrush tree was wasted. If she had known it would have this use, she would have carried it back no matter what.

If Ghost Vine, unaware of Lin Yun’s thoughts, knew, it would surely say that those branches aren’t good for fertilizing vegetables, right? That’s why it didn’t say anything.

After putting the sack into his backpack, Lin Yun continued forward with Ghost Vine.

Then she encountered the giant python again.

Lin Yun again: "..."

Giant python: "..."

What’s wrong with this human? Why is he wandering around the forest like that? It avoided that area, so how did it manage to run into her here?

It seems it’s going to move to a new territory; humans really do have a huge range of activity.

The giant python slowly ran away, and Lin Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

We’ve gone quite a distance; it’s time to turn back.

Back in the territory of Ghost Vine, Ivy had also completed the task Lin Yun had assigned it, and was now laying all its vines out on the flowerpot to bask in the sun.

Seeing that Lin Yun and the others had returned, Ivy immediately became obedient and showed her the flowerpots for inspection.

Lin Yun glanced at it again and nodded, "Well done, here’s some fertilizer for you."

She took some of the dead ferns from the large bag and placed them near the ivy pot, letting it absorb nutrients on its own.

I also put some of the plants that were outside into the flowerpots.

The star tea tree in the shelter was left to Ghost Vine to care for.

"By the way, should I get you a bigger flowerpot?" Lin Yun turned his head to look at the flowerpot that was now exposed by Ivy.

This flowerpot has been used for who knows how long, and after the mutation, Ivy has become larger and its root system has become more extensive, so the flowerpot is almost too small to contain it.

Ivy couldn’t change its pot, and the entrance to the courier station was a concrete surface, so its roots couldn’t penetrate the concrete and take root underground.

However, its root system has become extensive, and the flowerpot has started to crack, so it probably won’t last much longer.

[Huh? Is that okay?!]

Ivy knew that its flowerpot would soon be retired, but it couldn’t do anything about it. Now that he didn’t have it, it was too embarrassed to mention it to her.

The main problem was that he didn’t have the guts; he was afraid that Lin Yun would not only refuse to give it to him but also smash the flowerpot.

"There are quite a few flowerpots here, why don’t you pick one and go in? Do you know how to transplant them yourself?" Lin Yun pointed to the flowerpots he had been asked to plant earlier that day.

Ivy hesitated and said, "[No, I can’t do it myself.]"

"All right."

Seeing that it said that, Lin Yun went up and picked it up and buried it in a new flowerpot, and then stuffed the remaining fern segments that it had not finished absorbing into the flowerpot.

"You’re actually a pretty nice person," Ivy said quietly.

"No, I’m a wicked woman. You took one of my flowerpots, so you’ll have to work for me from now on," Lin Yun retorted to Ivy’s words expressionlessly.

Ivy: [???]

Before it got dark, Lin Yun continued to instruct Ghost Vine to arrange the flowerpots around the large tree with the vines hanging from them, and she took out the seeds to plant some.

She loves carrots and white radishes, so she grows some of both.

Plant some green beans, and some cabbage and cauliflower as well.

No, vegetables are seasonal, can they grow like this?

"System--"

[If it can grow, then plant it.]

Lin Yun understood again. Everything had changed. Plants no longer cared about the season. They would grow if they were happy, and leave to rot in the soil if they weren’t.

So Lin Yun happily finished planting in all ten large flowerpots.

One flowerpot, one variety; quite a lot of seeds were sown; we’ll see if any mutated varieties emerge after they grow.

Give the mutants a separate pot, and just squeeze the regular ones in; they’re just not meant to be.

After fetching water from the shelter and watering herself, Lin Yun went back to the shelter to tidy herself up.

After hanging the clothes outside, she took Ivy back inside and explained its future tasks to it.

"From now on, you will take care of the vegetables in those flowerpots. Water them once every morning, and if it gets too sunny at noon, you should shade the vines above them so that the seeds don’t die from the sun."

"By the way, can you see the shelter’s door from outside?"

Ivy honestly said she couldn’t see it.

Inside the shelter, it can see and hear what’s happening outside, but outside it can’t; it can’t see the shelter.

It is a mutated plant, unlike other mutated plants and ordinary plants, which will automatically be labeled with Lin Yun’s name once they are brought back to the sanctuary.

Mutant plants and animals need to be bound to the shelter before they can freely enter and leave without restriction.

However, Lin Yun and Ivy were unaware of this hidden rule.

But it doesn’t matter, Lin Yun will just ask directly again.

"System."

[Explain.]

"How can we make Ivy see the shelter and have free access to it?"

[...10 points.] The system took advantage of the situation.

Lin Yun then asked three more questions, "You need points for this?"

[Besides you, who would bring a mutated plant home? Everyone else avoids mutated plants and animals like the plague, but you go ahead and bring one home.]

"You’ve survived on Earth for so long, haven’t you discovered that you can bring back mutated plants and animals?" Lin Yun asked curiously.

[No, as I told you before, this world is special, and few people enter it, so it’s normal that they don’t know about it. Even if they do discover it, unless they figure it out, they can’t take the mutated plants and animals with them when they leave this world.]

Even if a few individuals figure out the special rules, it’s uncertain whether they’ll survive until the survival time ends.

[The system won’t tell you everything, especially not at a level below mine. Now you know how good I am, right?]

Lin Yun again: "..."

Okay, okay, so this system is subtly praising itself, huh? This guy.

"Deduct points, hurry up and tell me."

[10 points have been deducted~]

[A temporary bond can be established with Ivy, but it requires points to maintain, 1 point per day. You cannot take it with you when you leave this world.]

[In principle, survivors shouldn’t be bound to any mutated plants or animals because it violates the rules, but your Ghost Vine was an exception; those who know, know why.]

[But if you insist on binding it, that’s fine too.]

[Since the game has existed for so long, there must have been some survivors who found the bugs. These people used the bugs to bind some mutated plants and animals to their own use.]

Although the main system later fixed these bugs, the contracts were already bound, and it wouldn’t be good to take them back. So the main system simply randomly placed some bound contracts in each world based on the number of survivors deployed.

If you can find that binding contract, you can bind to mutated plants and animals and be unrestrained by the system.

With this rule in place, any further attempts to exploit the bug to bind items will result in the main system immediately reclaiming the bound items, as the main system has already provided an opportunity.

"But not everyone knows this rule, right? If that’s the case, won’t the other survivors who aren’t bound to mutated plants and animals cause trouble?"

Lin Yun was filled with doubts and confusion about these rules, not understanding why survivors couldn’t be directly granted the qualification to bind.

[Because this is an infinite survival world.]

If everyone can be bound to mutated plants and animals, who will bother trying to survive?

You must remember that sometimes having mutated plants and animals is not a good thing.

The world today is no longer the peaceful world of your Blue Star; not everyone’s heart is pure.

Once the survivor dies, the mutated plants and animals bound to him will also die.

Lin Yun was stunned again; she understood the system’s hint.

Yes, so what if you bind mutated plants and animals to your own use? Once the survivor dies, the bound mutated plants and animals will also die.

Wouldn’t those unbound survivors be tempted to possess mutated plants and animals? Wouldn’t they be tempted to kill them because of it?

Humans have always been complex beings.

However, she also couldn’t agree with the main system’s approach. But they were just survivors, and they had no right to interfere with the main system’s rules.

Lin Yun sighed again; she didn’t know what to say.

[Well, since we’ve come this far, I’ll tell you everything.]

The number of binding contracts placed in each world is not fixed. After learning this rule, each survivor will have two opportunities to enter a world. They can freely choose whether or not to use this opportunity after entering the world.

However, if no binding contract is found after the survival time expires, the opportunity is used up. If no one finds a binding contract after two attempts, there will be no more opportunities.

Survivors who have already obtained a binding contract are not eligible for this opportunity.

Another thing I can tell you is that most of the survivors who enter the infinite survival world do not have any.

If it weren’t for the fact that you accidentally became connected to Ghost Vine, and that you asked about this today, I wouldn’t have revealed a single word to you, no matter how many points you spent.

"Even temporary binding isn’t allowed?"

No, temporary binding can only be used in the world where the opportunity is used, and requires paying system points and providing the bound object with the necessary food.

The reason you only need to pay 1 point is because you accidentally linked to Ghost Vine; otherwise, the daily fee would be 10 points.

[Okay, one last thing: there are only two spots available in the Mutant Plants and Animals World, and that number won’t change. If you can find one in this world, that would be truly amazing. I can then apply for a reward for you, but the prerequisite is that you actually find it.]

Lin Yun quickly asked, "What reward?"

[Stop interfering. Just take what the main system gives you. Why ask so many questions? Can’t you even establish a temporary binding with Ivy?]

Lin Yun pursed his lips again, but knowing so much was pretty good, the 10 points were well spent.

"Yes, yes, system, please do it for me."

[Establishing a temporary binding relationship with Ivy... The temporary binding relationship has been established. Survivor Lin Yun, please grant Ivy additional permissions.]

A panel popped up in front of Lin Yun, displaying some permissions.

For example, whether you can open the basement door, whether you can use items in the shelter, and whether you can freely enter and exit the shelter.

Lin Yun then chose the two options: freely enter and exit the shelter and use the items in the shelter; he decided against the basement.

[Ivy’s permissions have been set.]
