Yun Jian nodded, opened the system panel, and clicked "Submit Task".

[System settlement in progress, please wait...]

Player Yunjian failed to provide a safe house; the mission is incomplete. Please keep trying!

The screen was filled with bright red text that hurt my eyes.

Why not? Isn't this cave an excellent safe campsite?

Am I misunderstanding something? A safe house, a safe house—doesn't that just mean it's safe?

If this isn't enough, then how safe must the safe house be to meet the system's requirements?

Liang Shan's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she coughed softly, "Sorry!"

Yun Jian didn't seem to care. "It's nothing, it was expected."

If the task is completed this way, then the system's nightmare mode is really weak.

She took some dry branches out of her backpack and lit them with a torch. "Before it gets completely dark, hurry out and find something to start a fire. Liang Song, you stay at the cave entrance and wait for us to come back."

Liang Song was worried about Liang Shan and wanted to go with her.

"Brother, just wait here. Only you can move this big rock. If you stay here and adapt to the situation, we can rest assured."

"Don't worry, I signed a master-servant agreement with Boss Yun. My death won't do her any good, so she won't hurt me."

Liang Song then nodded.

As Liang Shan picked them up, she noticed that Yun Jian was staring at a piece of marble again, his eyes clearly showing that he had his eye on the stone.

Liang Shan remained silent, picking up firewood while keeping an eye on Yun Jian's behavior.

Then he discovered that Yun Jian was open to everyone.

She picked up stones and threw them into her backpack, then picked up a clump of dirt and threw it into her backpack. What's worse, she didn't even spare the sand. Basically, she wouldn't let go of anything she saw.

What's she doing? Is she upset because she didn't complete the mission?

Is she addicted to hoarding things? But the things she finds are everywhere, why would she need to hoard them?

[Oh no, this player must be insane!]

[I told you, she only killed the crocodile because the system was helping her and she was lucky. Otherwise, given her condition, how could she possibly have completed the mission?]

[Yeah, that crocodile quest scammed me out of two thousand yuan!]

[Ha, so these are those suckers who tried to earn Whale Coins but lost money, right? You finally got your chance to kick them while they're down. But let me tell you, Yun Jian's behavior has always been baffling, yet she always manages to complete her tasks. Just wait and see, you'll be the ones who get slapped in the face!]

[Announcement: Xiao Yang just wants to get rich quick by tipping the streamer 200 Whale Coins!]

Before they knew it, a heated argument broke out in the comments section.

In the game, Yun Jian and Liang Shan also returned to the cave after collecting their items.

The group huddled around the fire for warmth. While the fire was burning brightly, Yun Jian took a few stones from his backpack and threw them into the fire.

Liang Shan finally couldn't hold back any longer, "Boss Yun, what are you trying to do?"

Yun Jian yawned and casually replied, "Of course, it's to prepare for the mission. By the way, don't let the fire go out tonight."

Liang Song looked at Liang Shan with a puzzled expression and asked in a low voice, "What does she mean?"

Liang Shan helplessly spread his hands: "I don't know either."

The Lin Family Villa.

Lin Yongqi sat on the sofa, playing on her phone while waiting for dinner. Bored, she clicked into Yun Jian's live stream.

The sofa next to her sank, and the next second, Lin Yongqi's phone was snatched away.

She turned her head, her little face full of anger as she looked at the person next to her, "Uncle, can you please stop taking my phone? You have your own!"

As he spoke, Lin Yongqi reached out to try and snatch his phone back.

Unexpectedly, the man stood up, held his phone high, and while teasing Lin Yongqi, he also glanced at her phone screen.

"Hmm? You like watching this?"

Lin Yongqi pouted, "No way?"

The man immediately smiled happily, "Of course! But by the way, do you like this game?"

"Nonsense! Why would I watch it if I didn't like it?"

"Haha, I'm glad you said that, but if I told you that this game was developed by the team I led, would you still like it?"

Lin Yongqi's pupils dilated.

She glanced at the man uncomfortably, then muttered under her breath, "I like gamers, I don't like games at all!"

The man then asked, "So, which player do you like?"

Lin Yongqi turned her head away, "I'm not telling you."

the next day.

When Yunjian woke up, he rummaged through the nearly burnt-out fire and found that the stone was still there. He added some more firewood before waking the other two.

“Liang Song will stay here today. Liang Shan and I will go out. But Liang Song, in addition to guarding this cave, you also have to watch this fire and make sure it doesn’t go out.”

Liang Song looked at his large frame and felt very aggrieved.

He was clearly the strongest one, so why did he take on the responsibility of guarding the house?

As if sensing his dissatisfaction, Yun Jian simply assigned him another task, "How about you wait a bit, I'll draw a diagram outside, and you dig some holes according to the diagram?"

Without saying much, Yun Jian picked up a twig and started drawing several connected frames on the ground outside.

It looks like... blueprints for building a house.

Liang Shan saw through Yun Jian's intentions and glanced at her with surprise. Then, thinking of the things she had picked up yesterday, everything became clear.

The comments section erupted with screams and shouts.

"Hmm? Are we going to build a house? But how can we build one without cement?"

[When she was burning stones yesterday, she said it was to complete a task, but what does burning stones have to do with building a house?]

[This is hilarious! Is she trying to build a modern house in the wilderness? Does she even have the skills? She's not a bricklayer!]

Hey upstairs, this foundation could also be used to build a wooden house. Can you please stop using such harsh language?

[A wooden house? How does she connect all the parts of a wooden house? Does she use mortise and tenon joints? That's not something just anyone can do, is it? Anyway, I'm not optimistic.]

[That's wishful thinking! I just want to see how she dies in the end.]

After Yun Jian finished drawing, Liang Shan realized the ingenuity of Yun Jian's design. The cave was right behind the pattern. If they really built a house, the cave behind it would be designed as a secret room, directly connected to the house.

They concealed the water source!

Yun Jian threw away the branch in his hand, looked up at the rock wall, and seemed to be deep in thought.

Liang Shan looked at her: "What are we going to do today?"

Yun Jian withdrew his gaze and looked into the distance: "Collect stones, and while you're at it, see if there are any other resources, and stock up on enough food."

But they hadn't gone far when they encountered someone they didn't want to see—Brother Li.

"You guys hid pretty well! We've been searching for you for so long, but we've finally found you. The crocodile meat should still be there, right? Share it with us; don't eat it all by yourself and get a stomachache!"
