Chapter 44: Chapter 44: The Biggest Loser Is Actually Him?
ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
In the early morning, Lin Yue was awakened by a "chirping" sound.
Bai was sticking to the glass window, jumping up and down, seemingly wanting to go out.
This little guy, he’s really full of energy.
Lin Yue yawned and rubbed his eyes.
Last night was really exhausting.
The system had a nearly revolutionary update, changes were everywhere.
Initially, he wanted to stay up all night to study it, but the soilless cultivation kit was something he couldn’t fit into his upgraded 4 cubic meter Storage Space.
This thing, which was a full 50 square meters in size, forced Lin Yue to place it outside. Therefore, he shoveled snow for quite a while to make such a big space.
After taking out the kit, Lin Yue also surrounded it completely with stones to prevent it from being crushed by the possibly collapsing snowwalls from melting.
But after all that tinkering, he inadvertently gained a "stone wall blueprint" as a blessing in disguise.
After covering the seemingly high-end kit with wolf pelts and such, Lin Yue finally couldn’t resist the sleepiness and just went to sleep.
He didn’t even open the system panel.
Stretching lazily, Lin Yue walked to the window, picked up Bai and placed it on his shoulder, wiped the misty glass window, and looked outside.
Hmm, as usual, wild grass and red soil, the forest in the distance...
Wait a minute.
Something’s off, where did the snowwalls go?
After getting dressed and taking his weapon, he opened the stone door, and a wave of humid and stuffy air rushed at him!
Moisture rose, creating thin layers of mist on the desert, and in the nearby lowlands, quite a lot of puddles had already gathered.
The snowwalls that were melting just last night had disappeared!
Goodness, where did the snow go?!
Did it all just melt overnight?
It’s as if the disaster passed just like that, how convenient.
However, Lin Yue also noticed that due to the melting snow, the ground was incredibly slippery, almost impossible to walk on.
"Chirp, chirp!" Bai seemed to enjoy this environment a lot, as it always seemed to prefer humid or cooler surroundings.
He remembered from the system’s introduction that Bai was originally a mutated creature living inside a cave.
Bai chirped and ran outside, rolling and jumping happily in the mud puddles, appearing to be quite joyful.
It seems like it’s been really cooped up in the house for too long these past few days, or maybe it just didn’t like the heat generated by the fireplace.
Lin Yue glanced at it and then climbed up the ladder to the roof, looking around.
The thin mist was occasionally lifted by the breeze, and after glancing at the small forest and discovering that the Ancient Secret Realm Gate had disappeared, he immediately spotted a large gray-black door wrapped in numerous vines not far behind the Shelter.
"This gate seems to look a bit different from the last one?"
Even squinting his eyes, he couldn’t see clearly, but it was roughly the same, still the kind of mossy brick structure like last time.
Lin Yue jumped off the ladder and returned to the Shelter.
Although he wanted to check it out now, he had to wait for the ground to dry out a bit and regain some strength first.
"Chirp, chirp~" Bai was extremely happy playing in the mud, covered all over with it.
Lin Yue found it strange. It was afraid of the snow before, so why was it now playing so happily in the muddy snowwater?
"Little guy, I’m not going to give you a bath later, you’ll just have to stay dirty." Lin Yue laughed as he walked inside, scooping out the coal and charcoal from the still-burning stove with a shovel, and then cleaned out the remaining ashes.
This thing has completed its mission, and it won’t be needed for now.
Luckily, it’s not too big, so after Lin Yue packed it away, he stored it in the underground basement to gather dust.
Stoking the stove again would make it completely unbearable.
"Chirp!" Bai, wrapped in mud, hopped to Lin Yue’s side, looking around here and there, wandering around.
Lin Yue pretended to be angry: "Hungry? Haha, no food for the little dirty kid."
"Chirp~" Bai lay on its back on the ground pitifully, its little forepaws trembling as if begging and acting cute.
"Alright, alright, you win, but don’t get yourself all dirty next time." Lin Yue found a piece of torn sheepskin from the ground, dipped it in water, and carefully wiped Bai clean.
Bai squinted its eyes, seemingly enjoying this special service a lot.
"Goodness, who’s the master and who’s the servant here?" Lin Yue laughed helplessly.
However, after cleaning Bai, he unexpectedly found that Bai had not only grown a bit over the past few days, but its scales, especially the tail tip, seemed to have changed color.
"How did your tail tip become white? And..." Lin Yue touched it and found it ice-cold, seemingly wrapped in some invisible white mist.
"Chirp?" Bai continued to act cute and call out in hunger, not noticing Lin Yue’s surprise.
Lin Yue thought about it and decided to solve the breakfast problem first, and then study the system carefully.
He went outside, using the charcoal he had just thrown out to grill skewers of meat, and took out a piece of bread and skewered it with a stick as well, toasting it.
The skewers slowly released a fragrant oily aroma, while Bai was intently watching the dripping oil, completely absorbed.
Lin Yue opened the system panel, intending to do some light study while preparing breakfast.
[Welcome to the System Panel]
[The new version of the system adds the following new features]
[Feature 1: Rescue missions are now online. You can choose to rescue the elderly, children, and others incapable of self-help based on your own abilities. Successful rescues will earn you certain points and a provision of a day’s worth of food and water as a reward.]
[Feature 2: The Survival Points Mall is now grandly open, where you can use survival points earned daily to exchange for various items in the mall!]
[Feature 3: The survival points lottery is now available, with options for both single and multiple draws. The prize pool is extremely rich, so please come and try your luck!]
The system started with a rather long string of messages, which made Lin Yue want to ask whether the so-called update released in the early hours wasn’t perfect, leading to the introduction of these rescue missions, and also the mall and lottery.
Picking up the deliciously grilled lamb skewers and toasted bread, Lin Yue returned to the table with Bai.
After placing the skewers and bread on the plate, Lin Yue continued to check the panel, while Bai next to him didn’t care about such things and started its little foodie routine by blowing a puff of white mist over the skewers.
He first opened the mall.
Soon, a dazzling array of products were listed.
Additionally, items were categorized based on their attributes.
Food, tools, materials, facilities, etc., were divided into more than ten categories.
"Goodness, a 600ml bottle of water costs 300 survival points? Third place Belger might become the biggest loser."
...
