Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

Lin Yun looked at the product listings more closely. The quantity of each item was marked in the lower-right corner of the image, and once an item was sold out, it could not be purchased again.

There was only one scroll and six bottles of plant nutrient solution. The quantity of the nutrient solution was not specified, which meant it could be purchased repeatedly.

"System, it’s so expensive. I can’t afford it."

[Can someone with over 800 points please shut up? If you can’t afford it, then the other survivors are even less likely to be able to afford it, right?]

[Let me tell you, these things aren’t easy to get through refreshes. If I hadn’t given you this benefit, you wouldn’t be able to get them now. Don’t be ungrateful!]

Lin Yun suddenly sat bolt upright, as if on the verge of death.

"Good heavens! The items in the inventory aren’t fixed? There’s a refresh rate?!"

[Don’t make such a fuss, okay? This is perfectly normal. After all, each survivor enters a different survival world, so the items in the Points Shop will naturally be different too.]

[Oh, the food is the same, and some items that spawn in the same world will also be the same.]

"So the item slots weren’t something you specifically set up? They just automatically unlock on the third refresh?"

[Otherwise, what? I don’t have the authority to access that information.]

"...I’ve misplaced my trust in the system. I retract my statement that I would support you as the king of the system world."

Oh, whatever.

Lin Yun lay listlessly on the bed, silently thinking to herself that she would never praise the system again. The system was a cold and heartless system.

It was always trying to find ways to squeeze out her points!

It wasn’t easy for her to earn those points!

If the purchase limit for points hadn’t been increased last time, her points would have been reduced by more than half after buying these two items.

Other survivors would fare even worse. After deducting the points for these two items and then expanding their shelters, their points in this world would be almost gone. And that didn’t even include buying food from the shop when they couldn’t find any.

Oh, the maximum points for each world were still random. If the maximum was random and low, wow, that was really bad luck.

[Wait a minute, didn’t I tell you? The starting world has a uniform 800-point limit. Only the later worlds have randomized limits.]

"I’ve never heard you mention that before."

[...It seems I forgot.]

I’m done. This Infinite Survival Game is such a rip-off. I just want to die. I’m quitting.

Lin Yun fell asleep again while lying down.

The first thing she did after waking up was spend 80 points to buy both items.

As for the nutrient solution? She didn’t need it. She had plenty of food and didn’t need it for the time being.

Unsure what would happen after giving the plants the plant nutrient solution, she still needed to ask for their opinion.

"Little Ivy, Ivy, I bought a few bottles of plant nutrient solution. Do you two want to try it? The system says it can provide you with a lot of energy."

Ghost Vine didn’t quite understand Lin Yun’s meaning, but upon hearing the word "energy," it quickly asked,

[What? Is it something edible?]

"It’s edible, but it can provide you with a lot of energy. However, there’s very little detailed information about it. It only says that it provides energy and nutrition, and I’m not very clear about its other functions."

[Items produced by the system are all of guaranteed quality, so don’t worry.]

[They can also store the energy they provide. You can eat a little when you’re hungry, and they’re very filling.]

"Is this even possible?"

[Of course. This is plant nutrient solution. It’s good for them. You can use it on them without worry.]

"Alright then."

Lin Yun touched Ghost Vine and smiled.

"Want to try some, little vine?"

[Yes!]

Ghost Vine liked anything edible.

Seeing that Ghost Vine was indeed willing to try, Lin Yun found a bowl and poured the plant nutrient solution out of the test tube so that Ghost Vine could absorb it.

Ivy stood quietly to one side, watching eagerly and wondering if it would be its turn soon.

After absorbing the plant nutrient solution, Ghost Vine suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Hiccup~

I’m a bit stuffed. This nutrient solution has so much energy!

This gave Ghost Vine, which had previously been frequently hungry, a sudden sense of satisfaction. It was the first time it had ever felt so full.

It wasn’t the kind of fullness that was physical, but the kind of fullness that was spiritual.

Ghost Vine lay dazed and sprawled in the bowl, flattening itself into a vine pancake.

"System, system! Is this normal? Why is it silent?!" Lin Yun looked at Ghost Vine in shock and became a little anxious.

[Don’t worry. It just overeaten and hasn’t realized it yet. Let it calm down on its own. Ghost Vine is a mutated plant, after all. It’s not that weak.]

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun reached out and hooked one of Ghost Vine’s small vines with her finger, only to see the little vine take the initiative to wrap around her finger.

It seemed that everything really was alright.

After a while, Ghost Vine, which had spread out like a pancake, recovered, and the vine ball perked up again.

[Again! I’m full! Can I have one more?!]

Although the plant nutrient solution provided a lot of energy to Ghost Vine, it stored all of it and hadn’t fully digested it yet. That didn’t stop it from wanting another one.

Lin Yun shook her head again, ruthlessly rejecting Ghost Vine’s request.

"No, you can’t. You can only have one of these. You won’t be able to handle more than that. What if something happens? You’d better behave yourself."

The vine wilted immediately.

What a shame. I thought I could have another one.

Ivy, standing nearby, immediately asked,

[Hey, do I get one too?]

"Yes. Do you want to have it now, or wait a bit?"

Lin Yun took out another bottle and waved it in front of Ivy.

[Now!]

Ivy immediately straightened up.

Lin Yun nodded again and poured the plant nutrient solution into the bowl she had just used.

She scooped up Ghost Vine, which was still trying to steal some food.

"You little devil! What are you doing?"

[Hehe.]

Ghost Vine wrapped itself around Lin Yun’s fingers and became obedient.

"I’ll just pour it into your flowerpot. It’ll be easier for the roots to absorb."

She hadn’t thought of that before and had subconsciously assumed it was the same as Ghost Vine.

[Good!]

Not long after the plant nutrient solution was poured in, Ivy immediately became like Ghost Vine had been—only even dizzier.

Ivy was just an ordinary mutated plant, and it was different from Ghost Vine.

So when absorbing the energy, it was instantly stunned.

There was too much energy. Ivy’s CPU couldn’t keep up. It was like it had drunk fake alcohol.

Lin Yun simply pulled over a chair and stood guard over Ivy with Ghost Vine.

It took even longer for Ivy to begin straightening up. Almost an hour passed before its vines finally began to stand upright.

Moreover, it was visibly becoming increasingly lush and green, and many new leaves had grown.

[It seems like I’ve been drinking fake alcohol...]

Ivy mumbled incoherently.

[Wake up! Don’t sleep!]

Ghost Vine yelled and swung its vines at Ivy, baring its teeth and claws as it tried to tear off its tendrils.

Ivy immediately snapped out of it.

[Aaaaaah! The tonic—Lin Yun, you need to do something about it!]

"It’s not dead, it’s not dead. Little Vine is very friendly to you and won’t really pull you bald."

Lin Yun waved her hand indifferently, then got up to get her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

[But it’s tearing my leaves! Aren’t ivy leaves leaves too?! Waaah, the tonic is pulling out my leaves! I’m bald! I’m ugly!]

Ivy burst into tears.

Ghost Vine chuckled twice.

[Oh dear, you’re just a vine. Where’s anything ugly about you? Pluck a couple more leaves.]

Ivy: [Get lost! I’m going to draw a circle and curse you!]

[What is this "drawing a circle to curse you" thing? Teach me!]

Ghost Vine laughed and joked with Ivy.

After coming out of the bathroom, Lin Yun saw that the vegetables were still making a fuss, so she simply carried water out herself to water them.

Because of the changes that had occurred in this world, plants were growing very quickly. Plants that hadn’t sprouted before were now sprouting, and the seedlings had grown much taller.

After putting the bucket back, Lin Yun didn’t rush back to the shelter. She took a walk around Ghost Vine’s territory, as staying in the shelter was actually quite boring.

Although those two little guys were quite fun, they were prone to becoming judges.

Those two were always prone to fighting.

[Youyou, what are you doing?]

Ghost Vine, having plucked many of Ivy’s leaves, finally emerged from the shelter satisfied, leaving Ivy behind like a bullied little wife, hiding in a corner and sobbing.

"Little Ivy, where’s Ivy?"

Lin Yun didn’t stop walking.

[It’s ignoring me in the corner.]

"...Will you pluck its leaves again next time?"

[Pluck.]

The vines that had tentatively reached out froze, then retreated back into the corner and burst into tears.

It would never worship Ghost Vine again!

It was a little tyrant! A devil!

We were all born from the same root. Why were you so eager to harm each other?!

Lin Yun glanced at the vines that had retracted, shook her head helplessly, and thought,

Forget it. The two kids are fighting. Why should I interfere?

After wandering around outside for a while, they returned to the shelter to rest.

Having made an appointment with that monkey to visit it again today, Lin Yun went back to the shelter to wash her face before glancing at the withdrawn Ivy in the corner.

"Alright, alright, stop being so withdrawn. You’re still very pretty. I’m going out in a bit. I’ll come back later and see if I can bring you some mutated plant blocks, okay?"

Lin Yun reached out and touched the ivy branches that had formed a ball.

The ivy loosened its tendrils and asked,

"Really?"

"It’s really true."

"Okay. I’d also like another one of those little sweet drinks you had."

Ivy made a small request.

Lin Yun was stunned for a moment.

Sweet water? What sweet water?

Ghost Vine leaned closer.

[It was referring to that dark, murky water you drank a couple of days ago.]

"...That’s called cola."

Lin Yun sighed and facepalmed.

Oh, okay.

Lin Yun stood up again.

"Okay, I’ll pour you some tonight. You can have the vegetables outside. I’m off with Ghost Vine."

[Go ahead. I’ll go watch the vegetables.]

Ivy was instantly appeased and no longer cared that Ghost Vine had just plucked many of its leaves.

As long as there were mutated plant blocks, it could grow as many leaves as it wanted!

It went outside, looking beautiful, to continue its daily tasks.

Lin Yun quickly left with Ghost Vine, heading toward the place where they had encountered the monkey earlier.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Before Lin Yun could get any closer, she heard an excited monkey call.

The monkey had already sensed Lin Yun’s presence when she approached again. Yesterday, it hadn’t known that Lin Yun wasn’t coming, so it had waited there for a very long time.

Today, it finally got to see her!

Sure enough, as soon as they sensed Lin Yun’s presence, they rushed over.

The monkeys came down from the tree and excitedly chattered around Lin Yun.

"Little Vine, what is it saying?"

[It said we’ve finally arrived! It waited for so long yesterday, but we never showed up.]

Ghost Vine diligently performed its translation duties.

Lin Yun looked at the monkey apologetically.

"I’m sorry. I went to town yesterday, so I couldn’t come."

But the monkey didn’t care about any of that.

Anyway, it just wandered around aimlessly every day. What difference did it make where it wandered? It didn’t matter if Lin Yun didn’t come. It would be just as happy when she came next time.

"Roar?"

The monkey was asking her if she wanted to leave now.

Lin Yun nodded again.

"Let’s go. Let’s see what delicious food you can find for me today. Here, I brought you some tomatoes."
