"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Li Qingyu gasped for breath, reaching into his pocket, which was stuffed full of magic cores. A rustling sound immediately followed.

It must have been really tough, you must be exhausted.

Li Qingyu looked around at the sandy area again.

They've dug up almost all the corpses.

Even if some escaped, they've probably been mostly destroyed by the Oasis.

Let's stop digging and take a break.

Ignoring the still-spreading oasis, Li Qingyu returned to Pineapple Castle with Princess Qiqi.

"Click!"

Close the iron gate and lock it.

Hmm, I'd better not turn on the lights.

Using the green light emitted by Qiqi, Li Qingyu saw the husky on the sofa, fast asleep.

Li Qingyu stepped forward and kicked the husky to the ground.

Your older brother is working himself to the bone outside, digging until he's about to throw up, and he smells terrible. And you, on the other hand, are already snoring.

Luckily, your older brother thought you had passed out from exhaustion and was worried you'd catch a cold outside, so he brought you back first.

Your relaxed attitude is making your older brother very unhappy.

The husky, which had fallen to the ground, didn't wake up. It rolled over on the soft carpet and continued snoring.

Li Qingyu stopped paying attention to Erha, who had just been crawling into the belly of the sand scorpion leader and flipping over the sand scorpion's head.

He was exhausted and dirty, covered in all sorts of unidentified liquids from sand scorpions, which disgusted him.

Li Qingyu glanced at the fairly clean sofa and felt too embarrassed to lie down on it.

It might take another thirty days. His body is already like this, so he shouldn't lie down anymore. It will be too disgusting and difficult to treat later.

After glancing at the husky sleeping soundly, Li Qingyu simply lay down on the carpet, put his hands behind his head, and stared at the ceiling.

Why....

It's quite comfortable.

Let's take a break first.

I don't have the energy to clean the dirt off my body now.

Only half a day has passed, and there probably isn't enough purified water for a shower, so let's not waste it.

I'll lie down for a bit first.

Meanwhile, Princess Kiki, who was flying around inside Pineapple Castle, touching this and that with a look of wonder, was now playing.

Seeing Li Qingyu lie down on the ground, it flew onto Li Qingyu's stomach. Not minding that he was dirty, it followed Li Qingyu's example and lay down on his back on his stomach.

Li Qingyu glanced at Qiqi, then ignored her and opened the task panel to observe.

Well, there are two minutes left until the first day's Oasis leaderboard results are tallied.

According to Li Qingyu's estimation, he should be in the top ten. After all, just half an hour ago, there were only eight contestants on the Oasis leaderboard. It's impossible that someone would have pushed him off in the last half hour, right?

However, when Li Qingyu turned his attention to the daily Oasis rankings, he was taken aback.

This is....

First place!?

I'm actually... number one!?!

They planted for less than half an hour in total, and yet they snatched first place from Colonel Chu?

[Crimson: Please don't underestimate my random evolution, okay? The evolved Nature Spirit's oasis-planting speed is absolutely crushing compared to before.]

Don't worry, not everyone has your speed.

Okay, it seems it's not that everyone is fast, but that only I am fast.

As expected... hard work will eventually pay off...

Li Qingyu reached out and scratched the patch of unknown mucus on his face, then held it up to his eyes to examine it.

I brought it to my nose and took a gentle sniff.

vomit....

How disgusting....

He tossed it aside and continued scratching his face.

Colonel Chu, I am truly sorry.

We don't want to steal the spotlight from our superiors, but we can't help it; our abilities don't allow us to keep a low profile.

Hahaha....

Just as Li Qingyu felt guilty, a familiar mechanical voice rang in his mind.

[System: Daily Oasis Leaderboard rankings are now finalized. We hope those who didn't make the list will try harder tomorrow and strive for a better ranking.]

You are currently ranked number one on the Oasis leaderboard.

[You will receive the first-place reward.]

Please prepare to receive the package.

Preparing to receive....

How to prepare?

Just as Li Qingyu was wondering.

BOOM!!!

A loud crash, like a heavy object falling, reached Li Qingyu's ears, making his head throb with pain.

Princess Qiqi, who was lying on Li Qingyu's stomach, was also startled and quickly flew up, looking panicked.

Li Qingyu was so frightened that he didn't dare to get up. He cautiously tilted his head to look at the source of the loud noise. At that moment, a black iron box had crashed right next to his head, very close.

Oh my god, I thought the husky had blown itself up while sleeping.

That almost cracked my skull open! This way of receiving supplies is just too dangerous.

Shouldn't a delivery guy come to our door?

Terrible review!!

Seeing that it was an iron box, Li Qingyu, still shaken, propped himself up on the carpet and sat up.

He had been thinking of taking a nap, but this tremor... made him wide awake.

Looking at the husky still snoring beside him, Li Qingyu couldn't help but admire its quality of sleep.

The metal box that suddenly appeared was about the size of a small suitcase.

Li Qingyu looked at the iron box from several angles, but didn't see any lock or anything like that.

Li Qingyu reached out and knocked.

Ding ding ding!!

No response.

"Open Sesame?"

Click!

The lid of the metal box lifted automatically, revealing a crack, but it was impossible to see what was inside.
