"It can't be eliminated!" Lin Hu said angrily, turning his head to the side, refusing to look at Ling Jiuqi, the source of his troubles.

He knew that even if he caught Ling Jiuqi, there was nothing he could do but beat her up; he knew he would never get his crystal core back.

"Sister-in-law, please persuade my brother." Ling Jiuqi shook the hand that was holding Duan Linzhou's trouser leg, and said in a sweet, childlike voice.

In one sentence, Lin Hu and Duan Linzhou were completely dumbfounded.

Lin Hu thought to himself: Good heavens, he even arranged his own identity?

When Duan Linzhou heard Ling Jiuqi call Lin Hu "brother," and remembering that she had previously said he was an NPC, he frowned and asked, "You're not an NPC? Why are you calling him brother?"

"Because my brother had never met me, I wanted to joke with him, but he seemed very angry."

As Ling Jiuqi spoke, she lowered her head with a wronged expression, like a child who had realized her mistake and suddenly felt ashamed.

Lin Hu: You little green tea b*tch!

"Never seen them before? Then how come they're family?" Duan Linzhou only grasped these points.

Lin Hu was still angry and didn't interrupt, letting Ling Jiuqi make up an identity for herself.

He didn't want to be forced to leave after being exposed.

At first, he wouldn't have cared, but now he has something to worry about.

He couldn't bear to do it.

"Yes, I am my brother's half-sister, but he had never met me before. I only recognized him by finding his photo on my dad's phone."

Ling Jiuqi answered timidly as always, as if telling a story, picking out the most melodramatic and outrageous details.

"I just came from the merged server. After I found out that my brother was in this server, I used the teleportation array to come here." Ling Jiuqi said, looking up at Lin Hu.

"A teleportation array?" Duan Linzhou asked curiously.

He had never heard of it, whether in his past life or this one, which was very strange; many things were different.

"Yes, it's a blueprint I got from a treasure chest. It can be used to set up a teleportation array." Ling Jiuqi casually made up a lie in response to Duan Linzhou, then looked pitifully at Lin Hu:

"Brother, please don't be angry. My raft is gone, and I have nowhere to go now. If you're still angry, I'll jump into the sea and feed the sharks."

After spending more time together, Lin Hu was able to pick up on the hints in Ling Jiuqi's words.

Lin Hu, like a relenting parent, said, "What are you jumping around for? Go back inside. Your stomach is growling."

Yes, Ling Jiuqi's stomach growled with hunger.

"Okay, thank you, brother." Ling Jiuqi happily came out from behind Duan Linzhou and skipped and hopped back into the house with Lin Hu.

Half an hour later, Ling Jiuqi sat on the sofa in the living room, with a bowl of clear soup egg noodles on the coffee table in front of her.

"Don't you always cook delicious food? Why do you only give me this to eat?" Ling Jiuqi asked incredulously.

He wanted to eat meat, he wanted to eat braised pork.

Lin Hu completely ignored her resentful gaze.

“We’ve already eaten, so it’s impossible for us to go to all that trouble just to cook you a meal.” Lin Hu was still angry about Ling Jiuqi using the crystal cores he had earned without permission, and he spoke without any politeness.

However, when she met the child's pitiful eyes, she still softened a little: "If you want to eat something good, wait until tonight."

"Okay!" Ling Jiuqi immediately cheered after receiving the agreement, waving her hands in the air, just like a child.

This was Ling Jiuqi's first time eating human food, and her eyes shone brighter with each bite.

She found it very novel, and after finishing the noodles, she even drank all the soup.

Aside from the earlier little incident, Ling Jiuqi's first meeting with Lin Hu in human form moved her to tears.

Lin Hu ignored her and let her watch TV on the sofa before going out to fish for treasure chests.

Although he didn't know whether the system watched TV or not.

However, they still interacted in the way adults do with children.

Lin Hu went out to find Duan Linzhou, and there were already several treasure chests piled up next to him.

Lin Hu decided to postpone fishing and instead open Duan Linzhou's treasure chests first.

Otherwise, Duan Linzhou will bring out a whole bunch more for him to drive later.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained 1 Teleportation Array Blueprint Fragment, experience points...]

Um?!

May all your wishes come true?

Whatever you wish for will come true.

Lin Hu had discussed this with Ling Jiuqi inside the house; the teleportation array was similar to the one he used to get to the island.

However, players need to open treasure chests to obtain this.

Having one teleportation array isn't enough; you also need to set one up at the destination you want to go to.

This was a bug that Ling Jiuqi secretly installed in the survival game. Lin Hu guessed that he was able to unlock it, which might be Ling Jiuqi's compensation for the one million crystal cores he received.

Lin Hu opened his backpack, wanting to take out the blueprints to take a look, but found that it could not be taken out. Fortunately, he could still read the blueprint description.

Lin Hu clicked on the message: 【Broken Teleportation Array Blueprint: Unusable. Collect 10 Broken Teleportation Array Blueprints for a surprise!】

Lin Hu thought to himself: Could it be that Ling Jiuqi came up with the words herself?

Lin Hu turned off the light curtain and continued unpacking:

[Ding! Congratulations, player has obtained 1 Teleportation Array Blueprint Fragment, 1 Beggar's Broken Porcelain Bowl, and experience points...]

Could it be that, as he thought, they were going to put together a complete diagram for him?

Lin Hu no longer reacted to strange things like the broken porcelain bowls used by beggars.

He once received an incredibly smelly sock that made him wash his hands for a long time, until the skin on his fingers turned white.

Lin Hu quickly opened the next page: [Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained 1 teleportation array blueprint fragment, 3 meat buns, experience points...]

[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining...]

...

Eight silver treasure chests yielded eight fragments of teleportation array blueprints.

Seeing that there were no more treasure chests, Lin Hu took his fishing rod and went to the raft to start looking for them.

Whether it was good luck or not, as soon as he reached the raft, he saw a glittering golden treasure chest floating on the sea.

Lin Hu quickly propped up his fishing rod, cast it into the water, and the hook landed firmly on the surface of the treasure chest.

Lin Hu still feels that this approach is unrealistic.

Pulling the treasure chest up, Lin Hu couldn't wait to open it first:

[Ding! Congratulations, player has obtained 2 Teleportation Array Blueprint Fragments, 1 Delicious Lamb Skewer Recipe, 5 Peanut Seeds, and experience points...]

really.

Lin Hu confirmed that it was Ling Jiuqi who was compensating him.

I gladly accepted it, opened my backpack, and checked how to combine the blueprints.

[Ding! Player has collected 10 teleportation array blueprint fragments. Combine them?]

Linhu clicked.

[Ding! Please proceed to the crafting table to synthesize.]

Lin Hu, filled with curiosity, went to the workbench in the room to merge the components.

[Ding! Congratulations, player, you have obtained a teleportation array x1, code name 003. Would you like to place it?]

003?

Lin Hu thought for a moment. In this survival game, he had one on his raft and one on his secluded farm.

The number 003 likely refers to the third teleportation array.

Suddenly remembering something, Lin Hu ran to the only bedroom on the first floor to find Ling Jiuqi.
