It was already dark, and Lin Yun had no intention of returning to town, so she simply went to find that talkative metasequoia tree again.

[Oh, you’re back!]

The mutated metasequoia was happy to see Lin Yun again. After all, it wanted to chat with her for another five cents.

"Hey! Hold on. It’s getting dark, and I need to find a place to stay. We can’t chat for more than five cents. I’ll definitely do it next time."

Lin Yun quickly stopped the talkative metasequoia, afraid that once it started talking, it would never stop.

The talkative metasequoia let out a soft "Ah" and could only regretfully say, "Okay."

"I came here to ask you something. Do you know where the office buildings for e-commerce companies are?"

[E-commerce? I know. Come chat with me for five cents tomorrow, and I’ll tell you.]

The talkative metasequoia was clearly pushing its luck.

Lin Yun turned around and left without hesitation.

"Bye-bye."

[Hey, hey, hey! Wrong way! You should go in the direction of my friend! There are a lot of e-commerce office buildings over there!]

The talkative metasequoia sighed helplessly.

What a pity.

This human was so stubborn. It really made the tree sad.

Lin Yun glared at it again, annoyed, then took out the water she had prepared beforehand and poured it around the base of the talkative metasequoia.

She had prepared this water after getting to know the camphor tree last time, just in case it came in handy someday.

Although it took up some space in her backpack, it wasn’t a big deal.

She had brought a bunch of plastic bags and woven bags and simply packed everything into them. The system automatically recognized identical items as the same type.

She was definitely exploiting another bug.

[Oh! How did you know I haven’t had water in a long time?]

The talkative metasequoia was delighted.

"If I pass by here again when I leave, I’ll water you a little more."

[Thank you so much! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime! You can also ask my good buddy. I’ve already talked to him about it, and he knows quite a bit. Just water him.]

"Okay, got it. I’m off now."

Lin Yun climbed onto the tabby cat’s back again and headed in the direction the talkative metasequoia had pointed out.

When she passed by the chatty metasequoia’s "good friend," Lin Yun stopped and watered it.

She immediately obtained detailed information about the e-commerce district.

After successfully locating the area, she entered the lobby of an office building and found many footprints on the ground.

Hmm...

She hoped this office building hadn’t already been completely emptied.

"Meow."

[The cat will go up and check if there’s any danger.]

After saying that, the tabby cat immediately rushed up the stairs.

There were several potted plants around the front desk. They had all grown quite large, but none of them were mutated plants, so they posed no threat.

There was a corridor to the left of the reception desk with many rooms along it.

Since Lin Yun had nothing else to do, she walked over.

The Ghost Vine climbed onto Lin Yun’s head, waving its tendrils as it carefully observed its surroundings.

Tuantuan followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

The rooms all had glass doors, but the glass was frosted, so Lin Yun couldn’t see what was inside.

She had no choice but to take the Diamond Ant Leg Bone out of her backpack and knock off the locks from the outside.

The first room contained shoe boxes.

Lin Yun casually picked up two of them, but both were empty, so she moved on to the next room.

After checking several rooms, she didn’t find anything particularly useful.

However, she did collect an entire room’s worth of cardboard boxes.

And they were all huge.

Lin Yun put them directly into her backpack.

This thing was great.

It was practically another tool for exploiting the system’s bugs.

The tabby cat, which had gone upstairs to scout around, came back down as well.

There was no danger upstairs, except for one mutated plant.

It was already half-dead and posed no threat.

When the tabby cat discovered it, it was about to kill it, but the other party immediately slid down and begged for mercy.

Since that was the case, the tabby cat simply stopped bothering it.

After listening to what the tabby cat had said, Lin Yun was too lazy to go upstairs again.

From what she had seen in the rooms, this office building seemed to be filled mostly with clothing and shoe companies.

She had already collected quite a few clothes in town last time.

But since they were already here, she decided to go up and take a look anyway.

What if she found something useful?

After reaching the second floor, she went inside and looked around.

It was an e-commerce company that sold shoes.

Lin Yun grabbed a small shopping cart, put it into her backpack, and continued upstairs.

When she reached the fourth floor, Lin Yun discovered something new.

A four-piece bedding set.

She picked out several sets and stuffed them into a plastic bag, then had Ghost Vine carry it before continuing upstairs.

The fifth floor also contained shoes.

Having lost all motivation to climb any higher, Lin Yun simply found an office and went inside to rest.

She was quite lucky.

This seemed to be the boss’s office, and the sofa inside was surprisingly comfortable.

Lin Yun took out a boxed meal and ate it to fill her stomach.

Then she took out two portions of King Kong Ant meat and shared them with the tabby cat and the Ghost Vine.

Although she had originally promised the meat to Ghost Vine, Ghost Vine had never asked her for it.

And the tabby cat had also been helping her with various things, so naturally, she couldn’t let it go hungry.

Fortunately, Ghost Vine didn’t mind.

It had become quite familiar with the tabby cat during this period and often ran around on its back.

Tuantuan was too large to fit inside the office, so it simply lay down at the entrance, planning to wait until Lin Yun fell asleep before going out to hunt for food.

Lin Yun saw it waiting at the door again.

After thinking for a moment, she took out another portion for it.

It wasn’t enough to fill its stomach, but it was better than nothing.

After eating, Lin Yun wasn’t sleepy.

But there was no electricity, so she simply leaned against the sofa, holding a flashlight and staring blankly into the darkness.

Clang!

Tuantuan immediately became alert.

The sound seemed to have come from the stairwell.

The tabby cat and Lin Yun heard it too.

Lin Yun stood up and walked outside.

"Awooo."

[It sounds like something is coming from the other side of the stairs.]

"Meow."

[It’s that mutated plant.]

The cat and the tiger spoke at almost the same time.

When the mutated plant fell down the stairs, it already knew that it had been discovered.

But there was nothing it could do!

It had to ask the humans for help.

Otherwise, it would starve to death!

At first, it hadn’t realized that the humans had come downstairs.

When it discovered the mutated cat, it was almost scared to death.

But after thinking about it carefully, it felt that something was wrong.

Why would a mutated cat suddenly come to a godforsaken place like this?

So it quietly began moving.

However, it was extremely weak, and moving was incredibly difficult.

Fortunately, it was still strong enough to slowly drag itself upward, little by little, until it finally reached the sixth floor.

That’s when it discovered the humans downstairs.

It was so excited that it almost died.

In the past, humans had watered and fertilized it.

But now that the humans were gone and it was trapped indoors, it had nearly died.

As for why it hadn’t simply moved downstairs by itself...

Because it was scared!

If the humans hadn’t been so close, it wouldn’t have struggled so hard to move itself down and even broken its flowerpot in the process.

Lin Yun had already walked over and was looking at the mutated plant whose flowerpot had been smashed.

Yes.

It was a mutated pothos.

However, the pothos’s leaves were turning yellow and looked extremely dry.

It was probably severely lacking water.

The mutated pothos was startled when it saw the human standing beside it.

It was even more shocked when it noticed the two other animals beside her.

That was the mutated cat from before!

There was also an incredibly powerful mutated vine...

And a mutated tiger!

Help!

Who was this human?!

It had thought the mutated cat was merely passing through.

Who could have imagined that it was actually working together with humans?!
