Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

Lin Yun took another breath and beckoned Ghost Vine to extend its vines so she could help pull out the remaining thorns.

Ghost Vine had managed to block most of the spikes fired by the mutated cacti. Aside from the broken vines, quite a few thorns were still embedded in its body.

The Monkey King immediately got up and began rummaging through the vines scattered all over the ground.

"Little Vine, does it hurt?" Lin Yun asked, feeling heartbroken as she looked at all the sharp thorns stuck in its body.

Other mutated plants would scream violently whenever they were attacked, but Lin Yun had fought alongside Ghost Vine several times and had never heard it scream even once.

[Huh? It doesn’t hurt. It used to hurt when prey tore at me with their vines, but it doesn’t anymore.]

Ghost Vine didn’t understand why, but it was good that it didn’t hurt anymore. It was only a broken vine, after all. It could endlessly grow new vines anyway.

"Did it used to hurt?"

Lin Yun suddenly understood something.

It must be because Ghost Vine had become a companion vine of the shelter, causing something about it to change.

She was too lazy to ask the system. Even if she did, it probably wouldn’t tell her.

"System, do you think submitting one of the mutated cactus leaves counts as completing the mission?"

There were cactus pieces scattered all over the ground. Submitting the entire thing would be such a waste. It would be much better to take them back and use them as fertilizer for the vegetables she was growing.

Let’s try to find a loophole.

[?]

The system suddenly fell silent.

How was it supposed to respond?

Although the main system had never explicitly stated that completing the mission required submitting the entire mutated plant, it also hadn’t said that submitting only part of it would be enough.

But the system really didn’t want to see Lin Yun living such a comfortable life.

All Lin Yun did every day was exploit loopholes.

[It can.]

Upon hearing this, Lin Yun looked around again.

Being extremely stingy, she picked up the smallest piece she could find.

"System, submit this one."

[I’ll squeeze every last bit out of you.]

The system immediately submitted a much larger piece for her.

[Random Mission completed! Rewards have been sent to your in-game mail. Survivors, please check your mail!]

Lin Yun looked down at the cactus piece still in her hand and immediately yelled, "System! You bastard!"

"Where’s my reward for completing the mission? Give it to me!"

[It’s in your mail. Check it yourself.]

At that moment, Lin Yun really wanted to drag the system out and beat it up.

She sighed and continued pulling the thorns out of Ghost Vine.

As she worked, she suddenly noticed a Tabby Cat peeking out from not far away.

It refused to come any closer.

Lin Yun glanced at it while it playfully bit at the thorns on Ghost Vine’s vines.

"Your companion?"

"Meow."

Hmm. The cat brought her here to meet you, but then it found you playing with poop. It smelled so bad that she hid behind you and didn’t dare come over.

Lin Yun closed her eyes again.

She really couldn’t escape the "playing with poop" joke.

She had no choice but to seriously explain to the Tabby Cat, "I really wasn’t playing with poop!"

"Meow."

Okay, okay. You weren’t. You weren’t.

Ghost Vine glanced at Lin Yun, who looked extremely irritated.

Should I keep translating? Will she beat me up?

Lin Yun: "..."

I might as well die.

After removing all the thorns, Lin Yun took out several more woven bags and began collecting the cactus pieces.

In this world, she needed to stockpile as much mutated plant fertilizer as possible!

She would have to rely on these things to fertilize all her vegetables from now on.

As she collected them, she noticed the sharp cactus thorns scattered around her.

Lin Yun simply put all of them into a woven bag as well.

She might need them someday, so there was no reason to waste them.

Since we’re already here, let’s collect everything.

As long as they were stored in woven bags, the system would recognize them as the same item, meaning they would only occupy one inventory slot.

So there was nothing to worry about.

The system was speechless at her blatant exploitation of the game’s mechanics.

But it couldn’t say anything, so it simply turned a blind eye.

The mother cat still didn’t dare come any closer.

The lingering stench was too strong. Her nose couldn’t stand it, and neither could the kittens.

Even after leaving the area, the mother cat and her kittens still refused to approach because the smell had clung to their fur.

"..." Lin Yun sighed.

What a painful day. I never want to experience something like this again.

Unfortunately, Lin Yun had no way to completely remove the odor yet.

Fortunately, the olfactory blockers she had exchanged from the system were still active.

It was just unfortunate for the mother cat and her kittens. They could only follow from a distance.

The Tabby Cat wanted to go over and talk to its mother, but the mother cat immediately grabbed one of her kittens and darted more than ten meters away.

It’s all because of that human secretly playing with poop.

If I had known she was secretly playing with poop, I wouldn’t have come today.

Lin Yun: "..."

They temporarily stopped gathering food and returned home to get some shower gel before heading to the stream to take a bath.

However, after returning to the shelter, Lin Yun didn’t go inside.

She only asked Changchun Teng to go inside and bring out two bottles of shower gel.

Don’t ask why.

She was simply afraid that the smell would spread throughout the shelter.

At the stream they had discovered earlier, Lin Yun used up most of a bottle of shower gel.

Only then did the mother cat finally agree to bring her kittens closer.

The olfactory blockers were also turned off.

The Tabby Cat sniffed carefully.

There really wasn’t any stench anymore.

Instead, Lin Yun smelled like shampoo.

The mother cat approached and rubbed herself against Lin Yun.

Fortunately, Lin Yun was already standing on land. Otherwise, she might have been rubbed straight back into the water.

The mother cat wasn’t as large as the Tabby Cat, but she was still quite big.

"Alright, alright. Stop rubbing against me. You’re already such a big kitten."

Lin Yun patted the mother cat’s head again.

The kittens also ran over and rubbed against her legs.

They were doing much better than yesterday.

They could already run and jump again.

Their recovery ability really was impressive.

"Since we’re already here, everyone get to work! Monkey King, let’s go. Let’s continue gathering food!"

"Roar!"

The Monkey King immediately jumped up excitedly.

Finally, they were going again!

However, the paths through the forest were extremely difficult to navigate.

There were plants everywhere.

If it weren’t for the Monkey King and the Tabby Cat leading the way, Lin Yun wouldn’t have been able to move through the forest at all.

The Monkey King didn’t lead them deep into the mountains.

It only took them around the outer areas.

There were many large animals in the deep mountains, and the Monkey King didn’t dare provoke them.

After collecting a large number of wild fruits, they finally headed back toward the shelter.

The Monkey King accompanied them back to the tree.

Before leaving, it took out the large tomato Lin Yun had given it and then headed back.

It needed to return to its tribe.

It hadn’t been back for several days.

The Tabby Cat and its mother were still there.

The kittens clung tightly to Lin Yun, circling around her feet and completely ignoring their mother’s calls.

"It’s getting late. Are you heading back?"

The kitten was now roughly the same size as an ordinary adult cat from before the mutation.

Lin Yun picked it up again and gently stroked its fur.

"Meow."

Don’t go down the mountain tomorrow. Stay somewhere safe.

After Ghost Vine translated the Tabby Cat’s words, Lin Yun frowned.

The Tabby Cat seemed to know something.

"To be more specific, are you talking about what’s happening in the city?"

The Tabby Cat nodded and continued meowing.

According to the Tabby Cat, all the animals around the city had been gathered by the creatures from the zoo.

After the weaker animals were eliminated, only the strongest ones remained.

And now...

They wanted to wipe out all the humans living in the city and turn it into their territory.
