Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

"I’ll give it a try."

The Ghost Vine gave a gentle flick of its vines, grabbed hold of the sunflower’s stem, and climbed upward. Once it reached the top, it began working hard to knock the huge flower head down.

Its vines were incredibly tough. Under normal circumstances, even a blade couldn’t cut through them directly. At that moment, the Ghost Vine swung its vines repeatedly, lashing at the stem connecting the sunflower to its flower head in an attempt to break it.

While the Ghost Vine was busy, Lin Yunyou wasn’t idle either. She carefully explored the surrounding area, making sure not to wander too far.

After all, she didn’t have a single decent weapon on hand.

After walking a short distance, Lin Yunyou discovered several mushrooms hidden beneath a large tree. She quickly walked over to take a closer look.

Several plump red mushrooms stood beneath the tree. Lin Yunyou estimated their size. They were almost as tall as her knees.

If they were edible, wouldn’t these be enough to last her several days?

[Dizzy Red Mushroom: Consuming this mushroom causes a three-hour dizziness debuff. The debuff can stack, up to a maximum of twelve hours.]

"Hiss, good stuff!"

Lin Yunyou’s eyes lit up. She took two steps forward, preparing to pick the mushrooms and put them into her backpack, but suddenly remembered that she shouldn’t touch strange things carelessly.

"System, can I touch these mushrooms directly with my bare hands?"

When in doubt, ask the system.

Since she was new here, it was better to ask whenever she wasn’t sure. That way, she could avoid regretting it later if something went wrong.

[You can. I will warn you about anything you cannot touch.]

The system didn’t want the newcomer it was guiding to die before even making it through her first world.

Systems had performance requirements too. If their performance was too poor, they would be reclaimed by the main system and reformatted, turning them into emotionless low-level systems.

It had worked so hard to become a high-level system. It certainly didn’t want to be demoted and reset.

After receiving confirmation, Lin Yunyou reached out without hesitation, picked the knee-high red mushrooms, and put them into her backpack.

[Dizzy Red Mushroom ×4]

After securing the four Dizzy Red Mushrooms, Lin Yunyou headed back to see how the Ghost Vine was doing.

Just as she approached the sunflower, she heard the Ghost Vine shout, "Don’t come over! It’s about to break!"

Lin Yunyou immediately stopped and took several steps back.

The sunflower’s enormous flower head quickly fell from the air and crashed onto the ground.

Seeing that Lin Yunyou was safe, the Ghost Vine finally breathed a sigh of relief and climbed down from the stem.

"There are two more sunflowers. Do you want those too?"

"Thanks for your hard work, Little Vine."

Lin Yunyou nodded and stepped forward to drag the fallen flower head a little farther away. She still hadn’t checked what kind of sunflower seeds it had.

The Ghost Vine continued climbing the other two sunflowers and got back to work.

After dragging the flower head a short distance away, Lin Yunyou squatted down and reached out to pull out a sunflower seed.

The single sunflower seed was as long as one of her fingers.

[Spicy Sunflower Seed: Spicy! Very spicy! Super spicy! Universe-defyingly spicy!]

Lin Yunyou: "..."

She pulled out several more sunflower seeds.

[Mint Sunflower Seed: Mint-flavored sunflower seeds. They’re delicious~]

[Bitter Sunflower Seed: Bitter! Very bitter! Super bitter! Universe-defyingly bitter!]

[Exploding Sunflower Seed: Please remember, do not let it fall to the ground. It is prone to exploding.]

No wonder the system had said the seeds were "a bit different." This was far more than just a little different.

Lin Yunyou carefully placed the Exploding Sunflower Seeds into her pocket in case she encountered any danger later. She put the remaining sunflower seeds into another pocket before storing the huge flower head in her backpack.

The Ghost Vine wouldn’t be finished for a while, so Lin Yunyou decided to continue exploring the surrounding area.

With the Exploding Sunflower Seeds on hand, she felt a little bolder and ventured a bit farther.

Rustle...

Lin Yunyou’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

She seemed to have heard a strange sound.

The Ghost Vine, which had been busy working behind her, also sensed the disturbance. It immediately dropped the sunflower and rushed toward Lin Yunyou in its giant form.

At that moment, Lin Yunyou also discovered the source of the sound.

It was a giant python.

The plants and animals in this world had all grown to enormous sizes, and the python before her was no exception. Its body was probably more than half a meter thick!

Lin Yunyou nervously watched the giant python slithering nearby, not daring to move.

One hand remained inside her pocket, tightly gripping the Exploding Sunflower Seeds.

She hadn’t noticed any sign of the giant python before. If it hadn’t made a sound, she wouldn’t have realized it was there at all!

The Ghost Vine extended its vines, shielding Lin Yunyou from the python while keeping a wary eye on it.

The creature was enormous and had thick skin. The Ghost Vine wasn’t sure whether it could kill it.

Unexpectedly, when the giant python spotted the Ghost Vine, it merely raised its head and glanced at it before turning away and continuing to slither off.

It had already noticed that little human earlier. She had even picked the mushrooms that the python hated, so it couldn’t be bothered to eat her.

She was too small and had too little meat—not nearly enough to fill its stomach.

Besides, she had those damn mushrooms in her hands. What if she panicked later and shoved those things into its mouth?

The last time it had been hungry and accidentally swallowed one too quickly, it had been dizzy for half a day and had nearly become prey to another beast.

It wasn’t going to ask for trouble again.

After the giant python disappeared, Lin Yunyou let out a huge sigh of relief. Her body went limp, and she sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

Her back was drenched in a cold sweat.

"It’s my fault. I didn’t notice it was there."

The Ghost Vine poked Lin Yunyou with one of its vines, looking at her worriedly.

Lin Yunyou shook her head.

"It’s not your fault. I was the one who wandered too far. Fortunately, the giant python didn’t have any hostile intentions."

After resting for a moment, Lin Yunyou used the Ghost Vine’s vines to pull herself to her feet.

"Let’s go. We’ll get the other sunflowers down, then head back."

It was already noon, and the sun was scorching.

She planned to wait until later, when the sun wasn’t so intense, before coming out again.

She wasn’t considering going out at night, either. Many animals roamed around at night, making it far too dangerous.

The Ghost Vine didn’t return to its smaller form. Instead, it simply walked over and roughly tore the sunflower’s enormous flower head from its stem.

Just after putting the sunflower away, Lin Yunyou noticed that its stem seemed extremely sturdy.

Perhaps she could use it as a weapon for the time being.

"Little Vine, help me get the stem down too."

The Ghost Vine thought about it for a moment before simply yanking the stem out of the ground and tossing it onto the ground.

After packing up the stems, Lin Yunyou and the Ghost Vine headed back toward the Shelter.

[There is a Random Mission available. Would you like to accept it?]

The system suddenly spoke up, asking for Lin Yunyou’s decision.

"What Random Mission?"

[Random Mission: Submit 5 Diamond Ants.

Mission Difficulty: E

Mission Reward: Shelter Peephole

Mission Time Limit: 30 minutes.]

"What does that reward mean? A peephole?"

Lin Yunyou considered whether she should accept the mission.

[Simply put, it allows you to observe the situation outside while you are inside the Shelter. The current windows in your Shelter are merely decorative.]

"Doesn’t it let light in?"

Lin Yunyou frowned.

She hadn’t paid much attention to the view outside the window earlier.
