Lin Yiran arrived at the Forest of Hope early the next morning.
This time she plans to bring back more plants. Judging from the profits from her stall last night, her barbecue stall has gained a little fame, and there are more repeat customers. So she needs to replenish her stock in time. Also, she now needs to find the barbecue seasonings herself.
After spending an hour in the hotel memorizing the interstellar plant encyclopedia, Lin Yiran came to the Forest of Hope alone.
Looking at the wild boar, weighing over a hundred kilograms, leisurely running around in the distance.
Ji An'an: Ugh, it's wrapped up!
System 101: [Ding, now that the host's debt has been paid off, the meat service will be launched soon. The host can hunt mutated plants and animals himself, and I will cleanse the violent energy in the meat.]
Lin Yiran's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Really?"
System 101: "Really, and the host doesn't need to pay anything. You just need to use your abilities to defeat these mutated plants and animals, and I'll handle the rest."
Lin Yiran rubbed her hands together and said, "Alright then—I won't be polite!" With that, she dashed out like a gust of wind!
With a few leaps, he landed directly on a very tall tree and looked down.
The wild boar was as big as an elephant, with long tusks that pointed upwards and were even taller than itself. It looked like it was only missing a long nose. Its limbs were as thick as elephant legs, and it would take two people to hug it. With that size, it must have weighed at least a hundred kilograms.
There was probably too much meat to eat and it would be difficult to carry, so Lin Yiran walked further inside, intending to find some small animals to catch.
She quickly set her sights on a wild goat.
The goat had curved horns, thick and powerful, curling on either side of its chin, and a tuft of white beard, giving it the air of a graceful and noble lady. Even its grazing was slow and unhurried, a beautiful sight. However, this wasn't Lin Yiran's primary concern. She was more interested in the goat's weight, build, and age. Too old, and it would have a strong, gamey smell; too heavy, and Xingnao might not be able to fit it.
Fortunately, this wild goat was of medium size, only slightly taller than Lin Yiran, so we'll go with that.
[Second-tier mutated wild goat, very weak attack power, the host can kill it himself] After hearing the system's prompt, Lin Yiran exchanged a crystal core from the system, silently absorbed it, and then took out all the machetes and small leaf throwing knives behind him, using his superpower to control the blades to approach the wild goat.
Animals always have keen intuition. When the blade was far away, Lin Yiran saw the goat's ears twitch, and then it turned around and started running away at full speed!
Lin Yiran: Oh ho, we've been alerted. Now it'll be a bit harder to catch it.
But it's okay, it's just practice, there's no harm in running around more.
After running for only a few hundred meters, the wild goat was finally slit in the throat by Lin Yiran's blade, collapsing to the ground convulsing, its snow-white wool stained with red blood.
Lin Yiran: What a blunder! Sheep's blood is edible and would be perfect for hot pot, but unfortunately it's all dirty now.
She then stored the wild goat in her Star Brain. The Star Brain could activate a preservation function, but it cost money. Lin Yiran thought it wouldn't spoil in just one morning, so she decided not to activate the preservation function; it would cost several hundred Star Coins per hour. Lin Yiran was reluctant to do so.
Lin*ZeiKou* remained calm as he put the wild goat into his Star Brain and continued searching for mutated plants and animals. Along the way, he found a fourth-tier mutated water buffalo lying in the middle of a huge pool in the forest. It was not very old, looked tender, and was quite small. After thinking it over for a while, Lin Yiran decided not to kill it.
The main problem is the fourth-tier water buffalo. To deal with it, she would need at least three crystal cores, which is equivalent to three popularity points.
Lin Yiran, who was obsessed with crystal cores, decisively chose to give up.
She prepared to leave the large pool surrounded by giant trees; she couldn't swim, so she decided to stay away.
However, just as she was about to leave, [Bang!] water splashed out of the pool.
Then something swam over at lightning speed.
[Tier 4 Alligator, Host, run!]
Lin Yiran: !! ? ? ?
"Did I provoke it?" The system is being a bit untrustworthy. Wasn't there supposed to be a one-month newbie protection period?
System 101: "No, that thing was startled by the group of people on the other side of the pool. Just find a place to hide and don't get into a fight with that alligator. You can't eat its meat anyway."
It seemed the system shared the same view as her, so Lin Yiran hid in a nearby tree and quietly watched as the group of people turned to the giant tree where she was, and all used their mental power to attack the extremely ferocious alligator.
It turns out that the group of people were using low-velocity grenades to blow up the alligator in the pool. However, they blew up the alligator's rear end from the north side, and when the alligator realized what was happening, it went straight for Lin Yiran from the south side.
Lin Yiran was taking a lot of blame, but fortunately, she was able to protect herself. She quickly climbed the tree and quietly looked down at the group of people below.
"Huh? I remember there was a girl here just now, right? Where did she go?"
A man rushed over from that direction and said those words.
Lin Yiran narrowed her eyes after hearing this.
What? He knew someone was here and deliberately blew up the crocodile's tail? It seems like it was intentional.
Then another person in their team said, "I saw it too. Ugh, we were thinking that we could relax a bit after that guy fed the alligator, but it turns out he was wrong. Now we have to fight it ourselves. It's so frustrating!"
Lin Yiran gritted her teeth, then a metal marble hovered beside her, quietly waiting for the right moment.
You choose not to take the path to heaven, but insist on barging into the gates of hell when there are none.
Then don't blame her for being impolite.
Then, while the man was fighting the alligator, Lin seized the opportunity and, just as the man was accidentally thrown to the ground, sent the marble flying, hitting the man's knee!
"Ah!!" This move caused the man, who was about to get up, to fall completely to the ground. The excruciating pain in his knee told him that his kneecap was probably shattered. But what happened next was even more terrifying.
The alligator swiftly seized its opportunity, wagging its tail as it charged forward, grabbed the man's legs, and yanked hard before initiating a rapid roll. In a mere second, it severed both legs, then tilted its head back, shoved them into its mouth, and swallowed them whole.
Not even a trace was left.
