...

Among the series of death announcements, Nian Fengran and Jiang Wenyan's system announcements stood out. The two of them would automatically log off every two hours, and Xu Milu could guess without even having to guess that they were reporting to their superiors.

"We made a mistake. It's clear that we still need to cooperate with the authorities and develop it together. The food-themed world is still too dangerous for Earthlings."

Xu Milu shook her head.

To sum up these past few days in one sentence, it would be "a hundred ways for players to die".

Some died from falling from trees while harvesting coconuts, others drowned while fishing for food in the sea, some were bitten to death by wild animals in the forest while cutting down trees, and some accidentally stumbled into a monster's lair and ended up being delivered to their doorstep.

Xu Milu has spent a lot of time these past few days just mending lotus root figurines, but fortunately, it wasn't a complete waste of time.

[Milk Berry (Cultivable): Non-toxic, edible, cluster-leaved berry plant; fruit is oval; juice has a rich, milky flavor; no capture grade.]

Breadgrass seeds (can be planted): Non-toxic, edible, named for its leaves resembling slices of toast; the leaves become soft and sweet after roasting; no capture grade.

【Delicious Dahlia Seeds (Can be Grown): Non-toxic; the center of the flower secretes a unique nectar in autumn, tasting like honey, and can be eaten directly.】

[Peach Blossom Mica: A type of honeyworm that collects nectar and stores it inside its body. Its honey is of superior quality and can be used in dessert making.]

[Spaghetti Tree Species (Can be Cultivated): A perennial plant that blooms in spring, producing hard, pasta-like flowers that are cooked and eaten.]

【Salt crystal beetle (cultivable): A non-toxic beetle that feeds on seawater. Upon maturity, it produces a large amount of salt crystals on its back. A mature beetle can produce up to one kilogram of salt crystals per day.】

This small island is quite rich in resources, and in just a few days, Xu Milu's system grid has accumulated a lot of plant seeds.

It has to be said that the feeling of sitting still and watching the number of plant seeds in the system grid "skyrocket" is quite wonderful.

What pleased her even more was that Lola, the elf she hadn't contacted in a long time, reached out to her through the Siren Clan, inviting her to Orok to participate in the once-in-a-century flower parade:

【Dear Milu, my old friend.】

I heard you've been searching for me, but unfortunately I'm in the Dark Forest looking for an extremely rare ingredient called "Dark Devil Spore," so I can't be with you. I've also heard the news of Pearl City's fall, which is truly a shame. Fortunately, Nanako's children have hatched successfully, and in a month, my ship, the "Sea Queen," will pass through Orok. Let's meet there.

I hope we can catch the Oroq Flower Parade. I went once when I was a child, and it was absolutely beautiful—flowers everywhere, a shower of blossoms. Trust me, my friend, you'll love it there.

Your most loyal friend, Laura.

...

...

"Aurok? Is that the Flower Country that the Lava Whale mentioned? I heard that the people there eat food made from flowers, drink juice made from flowers, and even live in houses made of flowers."

Xu Milu put down the letter in her hand, clearly very interested in what Lola described in the letter.

"Boss, one serving of buttered potatoes, please."

Nian Fengran carried a half-dead deer into the restaurant, wearing coarse hemp clothes and straw shoes—compared to the other players who were running around naked in their underwear, his outfit was actually quite normal.

Xu Milu served a plate of hot, buttered potatoes, watching the other person eat with great interest, and then suddenly spoke up:

"Actually, you're an official, aren't you?"

"Cough cough."

Nian Fengran almost choked on a potato, but his excellent professionalism allowed him to quickly regain his composure and laugh, saying:

"Your joke startled me. If I were an official employee of Honghe Games, I would have already granted myself game privileges. Why would I need to go through all this trouble hunting?"

He deliberately confused the concepts of "official" and "game official" to avoid mentioning Xu Milu's question.

Xu Milu rested her chin on her hand, glanced at him, and said slowly:

"Actually, this isn't a game at all. It's just a way for Ren Honghe to make players work for her. But one thing I'm sure of is that she has the ability to travel between different dimensions. I was one of the first players to participate in this 'game,' and so far, I've profited the most."
