Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

[Translucency is one thing, but whether you can see outside is another.]

[A peephole can be installed on the Shelter’s door, or you can simply open the door to look outside. Anyway, it’s up to you whether you want to accept the quest.]

[By the way, let me remind you that the rewards for Random Quests are quite good, and they are time-limited. If you don’t accept the quest within three minutes, it will never appear again.]

"I’ll take it!"

[Random Quest accepted. Please complete the quest within 30 minutes.]

[The Diamond Ants are under a giant tree behind you and to the right. They are currently transporting food.]

The system directly told Lin Yunyou where the Diamond Ants were. This was... a small benefit for newcomers. It wouldn’t give her such hints in the future.

Lin Yunyou was somewhat surprised that the system would tell her their location, but she was smart enough not to ask why.

She changed direction and headed toward the location the system had mentioned. Ghost Vine didn’t understand what she was doing, but it followed her anyway.

This time, Lin Yunyou moved very carefully, deliberately lightening her footsteps. She didn’t want to run straight into another dangerous creature like before.

Ghost Vine mimicked her movements, following cautiously behind her.

Lin Yunyou hid behind a cluster of giant weeds and carefully parted the leaves to peek outside.

The Diamond Ants were right ahead.

Only then did she realize that these Diamond Ants were as tall as her knees! They were practically the size of large dogs.

[Diamond Ant: As its name suggests, its shell is extremely hard and makes excellent material for forging weapons.]

Lin Yunyou slowly let go of the leaves and quietly backed away.

She whispered to the system, "Is it too late to give up on this quest?"

[Oh, I forgot to mention that if you abandon a Random Quest, something on your body will be randomly deducted.]

"..."

Ghost Vine extended a vine and poked Lin Yunyou.

[You want the Diamond Ants? Those things aren’t easy to deal with. Do you want them alive?]

Lin Yunyou fell silent and continued backing away with Ghost Vine. The Diamond Ants had incredibly hard shells, and she didn’t have a suitable weapon yet. Taking them down with Ghost Vine alone wouldn’t be easy.

Moreover, she needed five of them to complete the quest.

If she wanted to complete it, she would have to rely on her wits.

Suddenly, she remembered the Dizzy Red Mushrooms she had collected earlier. The Diamond Ants also happened to be transporting food.

Got it!

Lin Yunyou reluctantly took out a ham sausage and one of the Dizzy Red Mushrooms. She broke off a small piece of each and mashed them together.

The Diamond Ants transporting food suddenly stopped. They seemed to have caught the scent of a completely different kind of food.

They had never encountered this scent before, and it smelled quite delicious.

The leading Diamond Ant carefully identified the direction of the scent. Once it was certain, it confidently headed toward it.

New food!

Seeing this, the remaining Diamond Ants dropped the food they were carrying and followed their leader.

Soon, the leading Diamond Ant discovered the food sitting on a leaf.

But... why was there so little?

The other Diamond Ants quickly gathered around. They stared at the tiny amount of food in confusion, as if someone had deliberately placed it there.

The Diamond Ants discussed what to do and eventually decided to keep the food for themselves.

There wasn’t enough to share with the other members of the colony anyway. It would be better if only the few of them ate it.

Once they returned, as long as none of them said anything, who would know they had secretly kept the food for themselves?

Besides, the food tasted quite good.

Although... their heads were beginning to feel a little dizzy.

Why did this feeling seem so familiar?

It felt like this had happened before.

Wait...

That damned mushroom!

Several Diamond Ants collapsed to the ground, completely knocked out.

After waiting for a while and confirming that the Diamond Ants showed no signs of moving, Ghost Vine lowered Lin Yunyou from the tree.

Lin Yunyou poked one of the Diamond Ants with a tendril and asked, "I can submit the quest now, right?"

[...Yes. But there are eight Diamond Ants here. Do you want to submit the remaining three to the system as well? I can convert them into points or food for you.]

"How many points, or how much food, can I get for one Diamond Ant?"

[One Diamond Ant is worth 10 points. If converted into food, I’ll give you three portions.]

Lin Yunyou was shocked by the price and immediately began bargaining with the system.

"A bottle of water costs only two points in the Points Mall. Can’t you give me more points for such a large Diamond Ant? Ten points is too little."

[How about this? Let me think about it.]

Lin Yunyou looked around, picked up a stone, and smashed it against the head of one of the Diamond Ants.

It took more than a dozen strikes before she finally managed to kill it.

Ghost Vine couldn’t bear to watch anymore. It lashed out twice with its vines, and the remaining two Diamond Ants were quickly dealt with.

Lin Yunyou stood there in a daze for a moment before silently collecting them.

She submitted five Diamond Ants to complete the quest, then headed toward the place where the remaining Diamond Ants had been transporting their food.

If the Diamond Ants could eat it, there was a good chance she could eat it too.

[Random Quest completed. Rewards have been issued.]

[Peephole installed. External View function unlocked.]

The food the Diamond Ants had been transporting consisted of round, red fruits, each about the size of a basketball.

[Honeyberry: A berry-type fruit. Sweet, high in sugar, and edible.]

Good stuff. I’ll take them!

There were more than a dozen Honeyberries scattered across the ground. Lin Yunyou quickly put them all into her backpack before running back toward the Shelter without looking back.

Ants usually appeared in swarms, and there were only eight Diamond Ants here. There was no guarantee that there weren’t more nearby.

It was better to leave quickly.

After returning to the Shelter, Lin Yunyou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing the giant creatures in the forest, she had been constantly on edge. No wonder none of the humans who entered the Infinite Survival Game had ever made it back.

Thinking about the reward from the Random Quest, Lin Yunyou stood up and walked over to inspect the door.

A small peephole had appeared in the brown wooden door.

She looked through it, and after confirming that she could indeed see the outside, her curiosity was finally satisfied.

[How about this? Thirteen points per Diamond Ant, plus one random food portion. I can’t go any higher. That’s the limit of my authority.]

"I want to keep one and give you the other two. Is that okay?" Lin Yunyou asked with a chuckle.

The Diamond Ant’s detailed information stated that its shell was extremely hard and could be used to forge weapons. She wanted to keep one in case she needed it later.

Lin Yunyou opened her personal panel, planning to take out a Sunflower Head and remove all the seeds first.

[Fine. Deal!]

Two it is, then. Better than nothing.

The system sighed inwardly. Lin Yunyou really was good at bargaining.

It swiftly removed the two Diamond Ants from her backpack and credited the points to Lin Yunyou.

The upper-right corner of the Mission Center and Points Mall displayed her current point total.

Lin Yunyou glanced at it.

26 points.

A small red dot had appeared on the Mail icon. The food portion from the system had arrived.

Lin Yunyou took it out immediately.

It was a bowl of rice topped with shredded pork in garlic sauce.

She looked at the food and swallowed.

But after thinking about it, she decided to save it for later.

Something this good wasn’t even available in the Points Mall yet.
