After closing the Mission Center, Lin Yun glanced at the time on the main panel again.

[Day 1 of the Zombie World, 14:46]

Weather: Sunny

Temperature: 30°C

Location: Z City

"?"

Good heavens, there was an additional entry now!

When had this been updated? She hadn’t noticed this new feature at the transfer station.

Still, it was a good thing. At least she could now know her current location in advance.

And what a coincidence—she happened to be in Z City.

She still needed to observe the zombies’ levels. For the sake of her little courtyard and her survival in this world, she couldn’t simply give up.

After tidying the shelter and freeing up some space, Lin Yun asked the system to release the vegetables.

To make room for them, she also asked Ghost Vine to divide the shelter into upper and lower levels, leaving only the entrance area unobstructed.

Looking at the suddenly crowded shelter, Lin Yun sighed again.

Her shelter was simply too small.

Using points to store the vegetables in temporary space wasn’t realistic either. It cost five points per day, which meant forty days would cost 200 points.

How many zombies would she have to kill just to maintain that?

After fiddling with things in the shelter for a while, Lin Yun decided to sell some items to the system.

This would both earn her points and free up some space.

Aside from certain foods she couldn’t currently obtain, such as vegetables and fruits, Lin Yun sold most of the other items to the system.

The system’s purchase price was only about half of what she had expected.

But Lin Yun was too lazy to ask about the system’s point-acquisition limit.

There was no point asking. The system wouldn’t give her any useful information anyway.

She then noticed the Contract Directory in her backpack and took it out again, flipping through it to check whether the fruits produced by the mutated plants were ready to harvest.

She had already read the detailed information about the Ivy and Pothos, but she hadn’t checked Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan yet.

That was when she suddenly realized why the shelter had been so quiet.

She had forgotten to release them!

"Finally! I’m out! It was so boring inside the directory space!"

Sang Biao still looked like a kitten. Knowing that the shelter was small, it simply stayed where it was and didn’t move around.

The Pothos was small enough to be placed on the table, while the Ivy was simply put into a flowerpot.

"It’s so crowded..."

Tuan Tuan didn’t run around either. Instead, it crouched at Lin Yun’s feet, looking at the already cramped shelter.

Lin Yun:

"..."

Her silence said everything.

Then she noticed something unusual in the Contract Directory.

When had the mutated Rose appeared in her directory?

Hadn’t she left it behind?

And hadn’t she never bound the mutated Rose?

Lin Yun was stunned.

"System, what’s going on?"

[Why are you asking me? Ask Ghost Vine. It did it.]

Lin Yun immediately turned toward Ghost Vine, which was currently crawling all over the Star Tea Tree.

The Ghost Vine suddenly froze.

Then, very carefully, it maneuvered itself behind the Star Tea Tree.

It suddenly felt terrified.

Why was Lin Yun looking at it like that?

It didn’t seem to have done anything wrong, right?

"Xiao Teng, what’s going on with the mutated Rose? Tell me the truth."

Lin Yun’s tone made it impossible to tell whether she was angry.

Ghost Vine hesitated before answering.

"It was done when I asked you for the Contract Directory a few days ago."

Lin Yun paused.

"We don’t have any leaves or petals from that mutated Rose, do we? We haven’t been back to the flower market since we left. So where did you get the leaves?"

"Ah... I hid them."

"?"

Lin Yun was stunned again.

When had this Ghost Vine become so clever that it even knew how to hide things?

"Actually, I didn’t hide them."

"When I was fighting with it and pulling off its petals and leaves, I didn’t throw away a few of the vines. I absorbed them into my body."

"I just remembered them later, and they came in handy."

Lin Yun sighed and rubbed her forehead.

This guy hadn’t even bothered to tell her!

It had somehow brought a mutated Rose into another world.

She wondered whether the other world would be angry about it.

Lin Yun stood up and left the shelter.

She entered the staff break room through the door beside it. She needed to release the mutated Rose and take a look at it.

Unexpectedly, after the mutated Rose appeared, it didn’t even bother to look at Lin Yun.

"...Aren’t you angry? I brought you here without asking."

The mutated Rose lazily stirred its vines.

"It doesn’t matter. I’m just sleeping in a different place."

"Having an owner is actually pretty nice. They water and fertilize me, so I guess I’m the one benefiting."

"By the way, could you get me a flowerpot? The previous one broke, so I planted my roots directly into the ground. Then someone pulled me out and threw me into that dark place."

"I didn’t die, but I’m not used to it."

"...I’ll find you a flowerpot right away."

Lin Yun hurried back to the neighboring shelter, rummaged through the basement, and found a suitable flowerpot.

She quickly replaced the broken one and moved the mutated Rose into it.

"I want some water too."

The mutated Rose wasn’t one to beat around the bush. It simply stated its request.

Lin Yun wasn’t annoyed.

She watered it and even broke off some pieces of mutated plant material, placing them in the flowerpot so that it could absorb the energy.

"Hey, humans really are kind. They even give me mutated plant material."

The mutated Rose stretched lazily as the energy it had inexplicably lost gradually returned.

"Pick my flowers whenever you want. If you use them all, just tell me and I’ll grow more."

"...Well, if you don’t want any, just tell me. I’ll try to see if I can grow them again. But don’t blame me if they don’t grow."

A thought suddenly occurred to Lin Yun.

The flowers of a mutated Rose could actually be picked?

She remembered that the detailed information had said its flowers were edible, but she had never actually considered picking one to eat.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yun reached out and plucked another flower.

At the same time, she checked its detailed information.

[Cold-Relief Rose: A special medicinal rose for treating colds. One flower is enough. If one isn’t effective, use two. Its effects are similar to cold medicine, but it works faster.]

"???"

Lin Yun’s eyes widened.

Good heavens!

This mutated Rose was actually a treasure!

It had directly solved her problem of lacking medicine.

She was genuinely shocked.

There were still many other flowers of different colors growing on the mutated Rose.

Lin Yun began checking them one by one.

The mutated Rose didn’t react much.

After all, Lin Yun was now its owner. She certainly wasn’t going to kill it.

If she wanted to look, it would let her look.

If she didn’t, it didn’t care.

[Burn-Treating Rose: Specifically used to treat various types of burns. Simply pluck the petals and apply them directly to the affected area. Its effects are similar to burn ointment, but considerably better.]

[Allergy-Curing Rose: Specifically used to treat allergies. One flower takes effect immediately. Its effects are equivalent to allergy medication and can treat various allergy symptoms.]

[...]

...

Lin Yun continued checking the different flowers and was completely stunned.

Good.

Very good.

Her Ghost Vine had actually brought her an incredible treasure!

This mutated Rose was enormous, and there was no way her current shelter could accommodate it comfortably.

For the first time, Lin Yun developed an overwhelming desire for the Zombie King to appear as soon as possible.
