Lin Hu flew closer and saw a beautiful, injured little monkey in the nest. It looked like a golden monkey, but it was tiny. It was probably asleep now, its eyes closed, nestled against the edge of the nest. There were two eggs in the nest that were even bigger than it.
Lin Hu gently lifted the monkey out of the bird's nest; the monkey weighed about the same as a one-year-old baby.
Before leaving, Lin Hu also took the bird eggs from the nest. As he landed on the ground, the wind was probably too strong, which startled the little monkey, which then started grabbing and jumping around in Lin Hu's arms.
Luckily he was wearing a hoodie, otherwise his arm would have been scratched horribly by the little monkey's nails.
Lin Hu could only hold onto one of its legs and dangle it in the air, but watching the monkey only made him more frightened, and because of the constant struggle, his injured arm seemed to have gotten worse.
Lin Hu could only take out a peach from his backpack and give it to him. Seeing that it stopped struggling and just looked at Lin Hu timidly, the monkey carefully took the peach and held it in its arms. The peach was too big, and since one of the monkey's hands was immobile, it could only hold it with difficulty with one hand.
Lin Hu chuckled at the monkey's action, but the little monkey was so startled that it loosened its grip, and the peach fell straight down.
Lin Hu had no choice but to pick up the little monkey again, bend down and rush down, grab the peach, and land smoothly at that moment. Lin Hu then held the peach out to the little monkey.
The little monkey stared at the peach with bright eyes, then looked at Lin Hu incredulously before hugging the peach back into its arms.
Lin Hu put it on the ground and patted the little monkey's round head.
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for completing the adventure quest. Return to the raft?]
The system's voice also sounded intermittently, and Lin Hu watched the little monkey running towards the depths of the forest.
Just as he was about to continue exploring, a gust of wind blew him away, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw a large bird flying towards him.
It looked very angry. The only reason Lin Hu could think of was those two bird eggs. The mother bird had come knocking on the door. Judging from the size of this bird, it should be a level four bird.
If you can't beat them, you can always run away. Just click "End Adventure" on the system interface to end the adventure and teleport back to the raft.
Unfortunately, he was currently being blown away by the wind, and the moment he was teleported to the wooden plank, he fell face-first onto the floor. However, the expected pain was stopped by a hand from behind.
Duan Linzhou knew Lin Hu had returned as soon as he saw the beam of light from the adventure. He had been wondering if returning at three o'clock would be a waste of the free time in the adventure mission.
However, he sensed a powerful surge of supernatural energy and stood guard beside the beam of light, wary of anything following it back. Unexpectedly, he saw Lin Hu being blown away by a gust of wind, and he reached out to hook his arm around Lin Hu's waist, causing him to frown.
"Are you alright?" Duan Linzhou asked, releasing the person.
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Lin Hu replied after recovering, not forgetting to receive the rewards from the adventure on the system interface.
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for receiving the following rewards: 50 Black Coal Blocks, 2 Diamond Chests, 1 x 2x2 High-Grade Black Soil, 1 x 2x2 Medium-Grade Black Soil, 1 x High-Grade Plant Nutrient Solution, 30 Meat Buns, and Experience Points...]
Lin Hu was shocked, especially by the double reward that the bear had revealed.
Are the rewards for serendipitous encounters really that high? I'll definitely explore more of them if I encounter any in the future.
Duan Linzhou, who was standing next to him and accidentally saw the other person's interface rewards, was already used to it. It seemed that what he got was black coal, which was needed for the first natural disaster after the end of the newbie protection period.
He accomplished in just two days what others take months to achieve. This person seems a bit greedy, but his character is passable. Even if you can't recruit him into your team, it's fine to maintain a good relationship with him.
In case he joins their ranks.
Duan Linzhou sat back on the small stool and continued fishing for the treasure chest.
[1097: Wow~ Host, we have land again! Host is awesome!]
Lin Hu noticed that 1097 usually doesn't show up, only appearing to flatter him at times like this, as if afraid he would slack off.
[Lin Hu: That's right, as expected of me.]
Because Duan Linzhou was nearby, Lin Hu could only reply with his mind: 1097.
"Let me see what's in these treasure chests."
Lin Hu rubbed his hands together and opened the golden treasure chest first.
[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining 1 Intermediate Anesthetic Recipe, 1000 Angry Mutant Brown Bear's Disdain, and experience points...]
The scorn of an angry, mutated brown bear?
Is this considered a reward?
Lin Hu stared at the international hand gesture emoji following the word "disdain" on the screen, speechless for a few seconds.
[Ding! Double reward for the Adventure Chest triggered! Player 8848 has obtained: Advanced Anesthetic Recipe x1, Angry Mutant Brown Bear's Disdain x1000, Experience Points...]
Another sound, like a slap, landed on his head.
Lin Hu: ...
It's alright, I just got an extra blueprint for a high-level anesthetic. Let them look down on me if they want.
Then came the notification of winning prizes from opening the treasure chest.
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for obtaining 10 male rabbits, 10 female rabbits, 1 hen, 1 pound of crayfish, experience points...]
[Ding! Congratulations to player 8848 for obtaining 1 gas stove stand, 2 gas cylinders, 10 KFC family buckets, experience points...]
This immediately stirred Lin Hu's calm heart once again.
His stomach growled at that moment, and when he glanced at the time on the screen, it was already three o'clock, and he still hadn't eaten.
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Hu quickly took out a roast duck, but Duan Linzhou had already eaten, so he could only put the duck carcass aside. He happily ate the duck meat himself, and discovered that the duck skin and meat, besides adding level points, could also restore health and stamina.
I only made four and they filled my stomach completely. They're such good stuff. I should be able to make them too.
[1097: Host, you can do it! Everything in this idyllic paradise can be restored, and turning it into food will greatly enhance its effects!]
Lin Hu was lost in thought when 1097 suddenly spoke, startling him.
[Lin Hu: Stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.]
[1097: They're not that free. They only listened because they saw you spacing out. They were worried you might not understand some world-related questions.]
Lin Hu was eating and feeling a bit bored, so he turned on the light screen and saw a message on the regional channel with 99+ messages.
