After Lin Yun finished setting everything up, Ivy also keenly noticed the changes in herself. It seemed that she had developed some kind of connection with Lin Yun, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

"Alright, Ivy. From now on, you can come and go from the shelter as you please. If you need water, just go to the bathroom and get it yourself. I’ll put a cup or something in there for you to use later."

"We’ll continue to provide you with energy on time."

Lin Yun then asked Ghost Vine to get a small stool and place it in the bathroom so that they could put some things there for convenience.

[Okay! I’ll definitely work hard!]

Ivy was thrilled. This meant that Lin Yun had recognized her again!

When she heard Lin Yun talking to herself earlier, Ivy realized that the points she had mentioned were probably the equivalent of currency in the human world, right?

Keeping her would cost points, so she would have to work hard. Otherwise, those points would be wasted.

[Are the points deducted all at once, or automatically every day?]

"Let’s do it all at once. Today is the third day since I came to this world, so it’ll be 28 points. You can deduct them."

[28 points have been deducted.]

Lin Yun sighed again. These points really didn’t last long. She still needed to go into the forest over the next few days and see if there were any plants she could obtain in large quantities and have the system purchase.

Remembering that the fruits on the two plants outside hadn’t been picked yet, Lin Yun went outside again to harvest them. After a while, she finally put all the fruits into her backpack.

After tidying everything up, she finally lay down to sleep.

Over the next few days, Lin Yun continued exploring the nearby forest with Ghost Vine. She didn’t spend any points expanding the shelter or buying food, instead focusing on accumulating points.

Every day, Ivy was taken outside by Ghost Vine and placed near the vegetable pots. She diligently took care of the vegetables, watering them on time and shielding them from the scorching sun.

Whenever she noticed that the Devouring Fern fertilizer had been completely absorbed, she would grow a new one.

She was busy and happy.

When Lin Yun and Ghost Vine returned, they would take her back into the shelter.

Lin Yun was also actively searching for a binding contract. Now that she knew about its existence, she naturally wanted to find one for herself.

After two days of persistent questioning, Lin Yun learned from the system that one of the binding contracts had been placed somewhere in the forest. However, it didn’t know exactly where it was, so Lin Yun would have to find it herself.

The other one was in a city, but they still needed to determine which city it was in.

What Lin Yun didn’t know was that while she had been exploring the mountain over the past few days, several people in town had been going crazy with worry.

Because Lin Yun hadn’t appeared in town for four or five days, Chen Anna and Yao An’an hadn’t been able to find her and were worried that something might have happened to her.

They wanted to find her, but they didn’t know where her shelter was.

The two of them were so anxious that they paced around in circles, yet they couldn’t come up with a solution.

Then there was Lu Jingnian from last time.

He had been coming to town frequently over the past few days, hoping to use his mission as an excuse to bring Lin Yun some more food, but he simply couldn’t run into her.

He asked his teammates, who were scattered throughout the town, but none of them had seen the little girl he described.

Lu Jingnian was beginning to worry that something had happened to her. If he had known he wouldn’t be able to find her again, he should have insisted on bringing her back to the base.

There were also some survivors in town who refused to leave. They had tried persuading them repeatedly over the past two days, but they simply couldn’t convince them.

Lu Jingnian was so worried that he was about to lose all his hair.

These survivors who refused to leave were, of course, those who had already established their own shelters.

Their shelters were already tied to those locations, so how could they possibly abandon their own little nests and squeeze into a large dormitory with others?

Therefore, they repeatedly refused Lu Jingnian and the others’ persuasion.

Some people became annoyed by the constant advice and even resorted to physical violence and verbal abuse.

This made Lu Jingnian and his team extremely angry, but as soldiers, it was their duty, so they could only endure it.

After returning to the base and reporting the situation, Lu Jingnian and his team stopped their mission of persuading the survivors.

In recent days, some animals that had been far from the city had returned to their original habitats, but many were still gathered in the city.

Lu Jingnian and his men observed the animals and discovered that those that had retreated to their original territories were all relatively thin and small.

This made him both worried and relieved.

The good news was that these weaker animals had returned to their original habitats, meaning they were less likely to pose a threat to the survivors.

The worrying part was that only the weaker animals had left, while the stronger ones remained in the city.

It was difficult not to suspect that there was some kind of conspiracy behind it.

What if their target was the base?

Wouldn’t that be the end of them?

Lu Jingnian returned to the base with heavy steps and reported the findings of their investigation to his superiors.

The leaders told them to continue observing the situation.

If the group was still gathered there after three days, they would first use force to intimidate them. If they still refused to leave, they would resolve the problem by force.

They absolutely could not allow potential threats to remain near their base.

They needed to protect the safety of the survivors.

That day, after leaving the base, Lu Jingnian took Xiao Fei and Li Ping straight to the town.

He still didn’t believe that Lin Yun had gotten into trouble. He wanted to wait a little longer and see what happened.

He and his teammates had already agreed to meet at a designated location.

But it suddenly started raining.

Lu Jingnian and his two companions were caught off guard by the sudden downpour and quickly found a place to take shelter.

The place they happened to take shelter in was the same courier station where Ivy had once been located.

"Captain Lu, it’s raining so heavily. If that girl hadn’t gotten into trouble, she wouldn’t have come out, right?"

Li Ping glanced at the rain outside. It was pouring.

Xiao Fei also agreed with him.

"That’s right, Captain Lu. She hasn’t shown up for at least five days, right? This town isn’t that big. Even if we’re deliberately looking for her, we can’t keep missing her forever, can we? Captain Lu, I’m afraid she might be..."

Lu Jingnian sighed.

He had a similar feeling, but he was somewhat unwilling to believe it.

If he had married earlier, Lin Yun would have been old enough to be his daughter, which was why he paid more attention to her.

He definitely wouldn’t be able to wait until today. He would come again in a few days, after the matter in the city was resolved.

If he still couldn’t find her by then, he would stop worrying about her.

Lin Yun, who had originally wanted to go to town, was stopped by the heavy rain.

It seemed she could only laze around in the shelter all day.

She hadn’t yet sold the things she had recently gathered from the forest to the system, so she decided to stay in the shelter today and sort everything out properly.

The system, having overheard Lin Yun’s thoughts, excitedly rubbed its hands together.

Lin Yun hadn’t mentioned selling anything for the past two days, which had almost driven it crazy.

This rain really had come at the perfect time!

Lin Yun opened her personal panel again and first glanced at the time displayed at the top.

[Mutant Animals and Plants World, Day 9, 08:12]

Weather: Heavy Rain; Temperature: 22°C

"It’s been nine days already."

Lin Yun sighed again.

She then went to the mission center to see whether any of the things she had recently brought back could be submitted as missions.

Oh?

She found one!

Daily Quest: Submit 10 Bird Eggs

Mission Difficulty: E-Rank

Task Reward: 5 Points

She had collected quite a lot of bird eggs from various places over the past few days. After mutating, many of them no longer had a fishy smell and were actually delicious!

Some special bird eggs would display detailed information, so she would sort those out and set them aside.

After accepting the daily quest, Lin Yun immediately submitted the eggs and completed it, earning 5 points.

She continued scrolling down.

Daily Quest: Submit 4 of 4 Types of Edible, Non-Toxic Crops

Mission Difficulty: D-Rank

Task Reward: 10 Points

Lin Yun now had plenty of food, so she immediately selected four types of wild vegetables and submitted them, earning another 10 points.

Lin Yun then accepted several more quests, eventually maxing out the remaining mission points before finally stopping.

"System, your mission points limit is such a rip-off! I found so many missions that I could submit, but then I hit the limit."

[What’s there to be afraid of? The beginner world’s mission points limit is only 300. It’s not like the next world will be the same.]

Lin Yun immediately seized the opportunity to press further.

"What’s the mission points limit in the next world? And what’s the acquisition mission limit?"

[Don’t ask anymore. It’s random.]

Lin Yun exclaimed, "Damn system!"

[You think the system will give you an easy life? Dream on.]

The system scoffed. It was a system without emotions!

Lin Yun sighed and had no choice but to accept the rule.

"System, these wild vegetables don’t taste very good. I’ll sell them to you for 2 points per plant."

[Dear Survivor Lin Yun, hello. Two points for a single wild vegetable is a little expensive. They don’t taste good and aren’t very filling. One point at most. Is that acceptable?]

Lin Yun: "..."

"??? Respected system, you have shown me your true colors."

[Dear Survivor Lin Yun, you don’t understand. The system can compromise a little for points, but not too much.]

"It has to be you."

"One point is one point. These wild vegetables really don’t taste very good."

Lin Yun had already counted them. She had put 25 wild vegetables into each plastic bag. The wild vegetables were quite large, so 25 already filled a bag quite well.

[Okay, Dear Survivor Lin Yun. How many bags are you selling in total?]

"All three bags."

[75 points have been credited to your account. Please check your account.]

[Still selling? You still have 455 points remaining before reaching the purchase limit.]

"Wait a minute. Let me look through everything."

Lin Yun had collected quite a lot of things recently, and she needed to see what would be suitable to sell.

She would never sell anything that could be used for attacking. She wanted to keep those things for defending herself and fighting.

She could only sell food, but luckily, she wasn’t lacking food anymore.

"Peaches. Two points each, otherwise forget it. These peaches are almost the size of pomelos. I’d lose money if I sold them too cheaply!"

The system didn’t care anyway. Lin Yun was the boss now. Once the acquisition was complete, it would be the one begging her.

[Okay, two points each. How many would you like to sell?]

The peaches had been mentioned by a monkey in a tree when Lin Yun and Ghost Vine were passing by.

Ghost Vine had heard it and then told Lin Yun about them.

Lin Yun thought for a moment, then took out two mutated tomatoes from her backpack and asked Ghost Vine to inquire about the peaches.

Seeing that they meant no harm and were merely asking about the peaches, and noticing that the tomatoes were large and looked delicious, the monkey could tell they were good things just from their smell.

After taking the tomato, the monkey didn’t act arrogantly. It immediately said that it could take them there.
