Surviving the Infinite Survival Game by Exploiting Glitches

Lin Yun organized her inventory once again.

Inside, she had a bottle of water, a Stem Club, a Diamond Ant Leg Bone, Exploding Sunflower Seeds, Ice Sunflower Seeds, two unpeeled Sunflower Heads, and one peeled Sunflower Head.

Recalling the backpack she had received as a previous mission reward, Lin Yun took the bottle of water back out and put it inside the backpack.

From now on, she would take the backpack with her whenever she went outside, using it to carry smaller items and save inventory slots.

As for the remaining items, Lin Yun used the baskets Ghost Vine had made for her to sort everything before pushing them underneath the bed.

Once everything was organized, she took out the remaining two Sunflower Heads and removed all their seeds.

The system was still buying Sunflower Seeds, so she sold more than half of them for a total of 189 points.

She kept all the offensive Sunflower Seeds and a good portion of the functional ones, while only keeping a small amount of the edible varieties.

"Hiss... If I bring back two more Sunflowers, won’t I be filthy rich in no time?"

[Calm down. In the Novice World, the maximum number of points you can earn from Daily Missions in a day is 300, and your maximum point acquisition limit is 500.]

"Don’t do this to me. I beg you."

Lin Yun squeezed her eyes shut.

This damn system! How could it be like this?!

The system remained noncommittal.

How could the Infinite Survival Game make things so easy for its Survivors?

Of course, that was impossible.

"Right, how can I expand the Shelter’s area and increase my inventory slots?"

Lin Yun really felt that the Shelter was too small and that she had too few inventory slots. If she wanted to hoard supplies, she simply had nowhere to put them.

[Expanding the Shelter costs 50 points per square meter. Upgrading the Shelter level grants an additional 3 square meters of space. Random Quests may also offer Shelter expansion as a reward.]

[Inventory slots cost 50 points for 2 additional slots. Upgrading the Shelter level grants 5 additional slots. Random Quests may also offer inventory slot rewards.]

"..."

There were so many things she wanted to complain about that she didn’t even know where to start.

Lin Yun closed her eyes again.

There were point traps everywhere, and there was even a limit on how many points she could earn.

She really felt like giving up and dying.

[Look on the bright side. Random Quests can offer many different types of rewards, and Daily Mission rewards aren’t limited to points. Doesn’t that make you feel a little better?]

Lin Yun didn’t want to talk to the system.

She wanted to stab it to death.

She pushed the baskets underneath the bed, quickly cleaned up the floor, then picked up a Stem Club and headed outside.

After first tossing the Sunflower Heads into some hidden bushes, Lin Yun finally asked the system, "Which direction is the city?"

She remembered the system saying that the forest was located near a city. If possible, she wanted to go there, look around, and stock up on supplies.

[In the direction those Survivors fled earlier. Just keep going straight and you’ll eventually reach the city.]

Lin Yun walked a short distance in the direction the system indicated.

Unfortunately, the surrounding vegetation was enormous and completely blocked her view, making it impossible to tell how far away the city was.

However, she wasn’t planning to go to the city just yet.

Her most important task was to find a water source and solve her daily water needs.

As for electricity, she could search the city later and see if she could find a generator.

After choosing a direction, Lin Yun began searching for water.

The surrounding trees still looked similar to the ones she was familiar with, except they had been greatly enlarged. They also seemed to have developed other functions.

A small number of trees had remained their original size, struggling for sunlight in the corners beneath the towering giants.

There were also some trees she didn’t recognize—mutated plants with strange and grotesque shapes.

There were many shrubs nearby as well, and they were quite tall. If Lin Yun stepped into them, she would completely disappear from view.

As she approached, information about one of the shrubs appeared beside it.

[Black Mi Shrub: Highly toxic. Please do not touch its thorns.]

After reading the description, Lin Yun quickly took two steps back.

It looked so harmlessly green that she hadn’t expected it to be poisonous.

Avoiding the shrubs, Lin Yun continued forward.

[Lin Yun, let me give you some advice. The Mutated Flora and Fauna World is a special existence. If possible, you should stock up on as many things from this world as you can.]

[The probability of Survivors entering this world is very, very low—only about ten percent. Moreover, Survivors only have a chance of entering this world when a new batch is selected each month.]

[Of course, if a Survivor uses an item, that’s a different matter.]

[Furthermore, some things in this world don’t exist in other worlds. Once you leave this world, you may never encounter them again.]

Lin Yun immediately understood what the system was implying.

She stopped in her tracks.

"Then why are you still limiting my acquisition? Things from this world must be extremely scarce in other worlds, right? You’re buying things from this world at low prices and then selling them to Survivors in other worlds at high prices, aren’t you?"

The system remained silent.

Because that was exactly what it was doing—buying low and selling high, acting as a middleman and profiting from the price difference.

"Since things from this world are so profitable, why don’t you remove my acquisition limit?"

Seeing that the system remained silent, Lin Yun didn’t mind.

She felt that the system would surely agree.

After all, this was a business deal with zero risk and enormous profits.

The system was indeed considering it.

However, the acquisition limit for each world was set by the Main System, and it didn’t have the authority to change it.

Even if the Main System agreed, given the acquisition prices it had set, it would be a miracle if Lin Yun were willing to sell to the system.

Forget it.

It would simply report the matter to the Main System and let it deal with the headache.

In any case, it had been more than six months since a newcomer had entered this world. Newcomers didn’t necessarily discover its hidden rules during their first world, and most systems wouldn’t give them any hints either.

Only a high-level system like itself, which wanted to earn some extra points to buy a new system skin, would secretly give its host hints behind the Main System’s back.

If the Main System ever asked, it would simply say that its host was too clever and had figured everything out herself.

It had nothing to do with the system.

As for whether the Main System agreed or not, that was none of its business.

The system fell silent and returned to report the matter to the Main System.

Lin Yun continued forward.

Unexpectedly, she discovered a plant that looked somewhat like a tea tree. It was about as tall as she was.

[Star Tea Tree: Its fruit is edible, with a high water content and a sweet taste. Its leaves can be steeped in water to make a drink. They are cooling and can relieve itching. Non-toxic.]

After reading the detailed information, an idea immediately popped into Lin Yun’s head.

She wanted to dig up this Star Tea Tree and take it back.

The plant wasn’t aggressive, wasn’t particularly large, and both its leaves and fruit were edible.

It was practically perfect.

Although the Shelter wasn’t very spacious, spending a few points to expand it for the sake of this Star Tea Tree wasn’t out of the question.

Lin Yun didn’t have any proper tools, but she could try using the Stem Club.

When the system returned from reporting the matter, it saw Lin Yun and Ghost Vine digging something up.

It couldn’t help but ask:

[What are you doing?]

"Digging up a tea tree," Lin Yun replied matter-of-factly.

[...You’re planning to take it back and plant it?]

Lin Yun stopped what she was doing.

"Is that not allowed?"
