Old Man Chen's lucky card was gone, and in the end, Zhou's was given to him.
With Da Ya included, the five of them excitedly set off to explore the Mini World.
The moment the five opened their eyes, they were instantly transported to the desert.
Xiao Tian: "My luck isn't very good this time!"
Old Man Chen found everything fascinating; despite the endless yellow sand and the blazing sun, he didn't feel the heat.
In the desert, there is a strange plant that is green, has an unusual appearance, and is covered in thorns.
However, he was more interested in the pottery jars scattered around the area.
Upon seeing the pottery jar, Old Man Chen couldn't take his eyes off it, and his legs seemed to move on their own as he ran over to pick it up.
Daya said worriedly, "Master, don't go too far."
Chen Kai said happily, "These cacti are so cute, let's cut down more. Also, let's shovel more sand, it'll be very useful!"
These chubby, columnar cacti are just so cute!
Looking at the thorny plant, Daya felt it wasn't cute at all, so she decided to go shovel the mud and sand instead.
They had already prepared tools in their backpacks, including stone shovels, axes, and stone spears, which they could simply take out and use.
The fifth son, fearing his father would get lost, followed him to retrieve the pottery jars.
Xiao Tian looked at his grandfather, who was happily collecting pottery jars and couldn't be stopped even when called, and then at Chen Kai, who was chopping cacti with a beaming smile. He had a premonition that they would have to spend the night in the desert.
Sigh! He should just dig the hole first; he's too lazy to even build the house.
When Da Ya saw that Xiao Tian had dug a big hole, she asked curiously, "Xiao Tian, why did you dig such a big hole?"
She was digging the sand blocks horizontally, but Xiao Tian was digging downwards.
Xiao Tian: "Save it for tonight."
Daya looked puzzled. "Don't we have a bed? It seems like it can skip the night, although we've never tried it."
Xiao Tian: "It can skip the night, but not tonight. We need to fight monsters and get you stars."
Ever since he learned that they could farm jungle monsters to give Daya stars, he's been thinking about farming jungle monsters more often.
There are so many monsters at night, might as well farm them; why bother jumping into the dark?
Daya said worriedly, "Silly girl said that nighttime is dangerous and that many wild monsters will come out."
Xiao Tian: "I know, so I'm digging a hole so you guys can hide and not come out at night."
Daya: "..."
Xiao Tian sealed the top of the pit with mud, leaving an entrance with a torch stuck in it.
Not long after, Old Man Chen and Fifth Brother Lang returned.
Seeing the two men return with low health, Xiao Tian was startled and quickly took out the food for them to eat.
Daya's face was deathly pale. "Grandpa, Fifth Uncle, where did you go?"
Old Man Chen said with lingering fear, "We encountered a huge scorpion, a really big one, as tall as a house. It would spit sand to attack people, and it kept attacking us. Luckily, we ran fast."
Chen Kai said, both amused and exasperated, "Dad, don't go too far. If you accidentally fall, we'll be sent back immediately. Come on, eat more cherries. Fifth Uncle, you eat more too."
Old Man Chen smacked his lips and said, "These cherries are really delicious."
Da Ya only turned off everyone's sense of touch, but not their sense of taste or smell, so they could still enjoy the food here.
Da Ya also took out 10 portions of cherries from her backpack. "Grandpa, if you like them, we can pick more to take back when we find the woods."
After Old Man Chen and Fifth Brother regained full health, they stopped eating cherries. These were life-saving items and needed to be saved for survival.
Even after recovering his health, Old Man Chen was still not satisfied with those pottery jars, but he didn't dare to go too far, so he just picked up pottery jars nearby.
There were no savages in the desert, and it didn't rain. They spent the day peacefully.
As night fell, the charming merchant appeared.
Daya exclaimed, "This is a businesswoman? She's so beautiful and cute! Her clothes are a bit strange, but they're so pretty!"
Chen Kai: "Stop staring at the merchant, he's just an NPC. The savages are coming, be careful."
The first savage to charge was quickly dealt with, and soon after, those wielding clubs, spears, and fire spears arrived.
Chen Kai taught the three newbies how to dodge and how to attack.
When they fought the second wave of savages, they heard a creepy, eerie scream.
"Hehehe~"
The sound was getting closer.
Chen Kai frowned and said, "Hurry up, everyone hide at the bottom of the pit first."
Their current equipment is too basic, and they have no water, so it's not suitable for fighting that thing right now.
When Chen Kai went down into the pit, he pushed the merchant in as well.
After the pit was sealed, apart from Xiao Tian and Chen Kai, the other two, including Da Ya, stared at the merchant with curiosity.
Old Man Chen: "Why isn't she saying anything? Could she be mute?"
Fifth Brother: "Why is she always smiling like an idiot? Could she be mentally challenged?"
Daya said enviously, "Her clothes are so beautiful."
Chen Kai laughed and said, "Da Ya, touch her and see if she has anything to sell."
Chen Kai had just tried it; he couldn't buy anything from the merchant, not even to look at the goods.
Daya curiously nudged the merchant's shoulder, and a panel suddenly appeared in front of her. No one else could see it, only she could.
Daya exclaimed excitedly, "They sell leather jackets, leather pants, and leather boots. You can exchange two stars for one item. I have four stars, so I can exchange them for two items."
Chen Kai asked around and found out there were no crops that could be grown, so he could only recommend that she buy things to keep warm.
Xiao Tian said, "Let's buy a leather jacket."
Fifth brother: "Let's buy leather pants."
Old Man Chen: "Isn't there cooked food? Let's buy some."
Chen Kai shoveled away a clod of dirt from above his head and said, "If we can't decide, let's continue farming monsters."
A savage wielding a club saw someone underground in the cave and tried to attack, but Chen Kai stabbed him a few times with a stone spear and he vanished, leaving only an elbow.
And so, everyone stood at the bottom of the pit and poked at the monsters. If they were no match for them, they would seal the entrance and continue to play it safe.
Old Man Chen picked up several large pork knuckles, holding them and drooling. He thought to himself, "These pork knuckles must taste delicious after they're cooked. They're so big, I could eat three and I'd be full."
And just like that, he triggered the function, skipping even opening his mouth to eat, and used it directly; a large pork knuckle disappeared instantly.
Meanwhile, Old Man Chen was enveloped in blue smoke.
Old Man Chen was startled. "What's going on?"
The fifth son exclaimed, "Dad, why are you smoking?"
Chen Kai smiled and said, "Dad, don't be afraid. It's just a little blood loss. You'll be fine soon."
Da Ya's eyes widened. "Eating pork knuckle will cause poisoning?"
She had saved up dozens of large pork knuckles, planning to take them out to eat after this trip.
Chen Kai: "Yeah, here, eating this weird pork knuckle can cause poisoning, and it can't be cooked properly. Ask Silly Girl if taking this out and cooking it will cause poisoning."
Da Ya, her face full of black lines, said, "Silly girl said she would."
What the hell is this stuff? It can cause poisoning if you eat it!
