Chapter 28: Spring Season Day 2 (2) Harvesting a pet panda...
Back at the shelter, Yu Luowei temporarily placed the red panda on the sofa, stuffed a piece of bamboo into it and let it eat it first, then rubbed his sore arm and went out to stuff the soil in the bracelet into the brick-making machine.
It was not known whether the final disappearance of the giant panda had any adverse effects on the panda cubs. After returning, Yu Luowei observed for a while and made sure that there was nothing abnormal with the cubs for the time being and they were eating bamboo obediently before he went to do other work with peace of mind.
First, open the red treasure chest you got from decomposing the giant panda's corpse. You'll get:
[Pet Advancement Stone × 1, Pet Contract Manual × 1, Pet Bracelet × 1, Jade Bamboo Seeds (10 pieces) × 10, Animal Fence × 1]
No wonder the giant panda finally pointed at him. The box was filled with pet items and even rations. However, the fact that these monsters knew the box would pop up after their death and could even decide what was inside was beyond Yu Luowei's expectations.
I first looked at the details of the pet contract manual: after the contract is concluded, the owner and pet cannot harm each other, and the pet will die if the owner dies; the pet can stay outside or in the pet grid, but the owner can only summon the pet at any time if it stays in the grid; there is an intimacy system between the owner and the pet. When the intimacy reaches a certain level, the owner can share some of the pet's attributes and skills.
In addition, if the owner wants to end the contract, he only needs to tear up the contract. In addition, no one other than the owner or monster can break the contract. If the pet dies during the contract period, the contract will be automatically terminated. However, within three days of the pet's death, the owner's attributes will be reduced by half of the original basis.
After studying the contract manual and confirming that there were no clauses that would disadvantage the owner except for the death of the pet, Yu Luowei went to check the information about the panda cub:
Level 4 Iron-eating Beast Cub: Possessing the bloodline of a legendary divine beast, this cub may appear only a furry three or four months old, but it possesses immense strength and a high affinity for all elements. Its potential is limitless! It can evolve, reaching a maximum level of seven.
Favorite food: Jade bamboo.
The system had a pretty high opinion of the cub. After all, the contract manual was taken from its parent, so Yu Luowei took the opportunity to name the cub: Ma Tuan, and then used the contract directly on the cub.
She was called Ma Tuan because the cub was chubby, especially when Yu Luowei first discovered her, the whole bear curled up like a ball.
The contract required the blood of both the owner and the pet, but simply holding the manual close to your finger would automatically suck the blood. It was over in a second and painless, without having to create a wound yourself. It was incredibly convenient. Ma Tuan was so engrossed in chewing bamboo that he didn't care at all that he had a little blood sucked from him.
Congratulations on signing a pet contract with the iron-eating beast cub, Ma Tuan! You can fight together from now on!
You will be able to view the details of the Iron Eater Cub and choose whether to add it to your pet grid.
Since your pet is still in its cub form, please pay attention to its physiological condition at all times and provide it with food and water in a timely manner.

After the contract was signed, Yu Luowei could vaguely feel the cub's emotions - it was relatively calm now, as it was too young and had not yet realized that it had lost its family.
Yu Luowei briefly glanced at Ma Tuan's information. After all, it was a monster, and even at only level one, its attributes were not to be underestimated. There was also the intimacy level. Perhaps because Yu Luowei could be considered the one who "saved Ma Tuan from the sea of suffering," the initial intimacy level was quite high, which saved Yu Luowei a lot of trouble.
Finally, when seeing Ma Tuan’s talent skill column, Yu Luowei suddenly thought of his own magic and the affinity with fire that had improved in the past few days.
Speaking of which, even though she possessed magic in the game, her first reaction when facing monsters was to conjure weapons with magic and attack, forcing a magic-based attack into a physical attack. After all, she wasn't an elementalist before. Early on, she killed zombies with various weapons in the space (not necessarily using them normally, but also smashing them directly), and later on, she relied on mind control and space-shattering. She wasn't very proficient in elemental or magic skills to begin with. The game didn't give her any cheats or skill books, so she had to learn her only two skills on her own.
The effect of this "physics system" is quite good now. I'll continue on this path in the future. I can try to condense a gun someday, Yu Luowei thought secretly.
I tried to put Ma Tuan into the pet space, and the bamboo in its hand also went in. Now I don’t have to worry about Ma Tuan getting hungry while staying in the space.
However, Yu Luowei could sense that Ma Tuan didn't like the dark environment and was even a little scared, so she quickly let him out and waited for special circumstances. As for now, Yu Luowei patted Ma Tuan's head to comfort him, merged the pet grid and bracelet together, and continued unpacking.
In addition to ordinary daily necessities and food including masks, the most important things in the green and blue treasure boxes are four low-level planting boxes, moon onion seeds, and some animal feed.
Yu Luowei used the upgrade card on the four newly opened plantation boxes, creating a primary farmland. He placed it on the other side of the base and planted it entirely with Jade Bamboo. From now on, he would be the exclusive producer of Ma Tuan rations.
It takes 5 days for the jade bamboo to mature. Yu Luowei directly used a primary fertilizer and an intermediate fertilizer. He first harvested a batch of them as food for the next few days, and planted the remaining seeds together with the seeds of moon onions, waiting for them to grow slowly.
Jade Bamboo itself has no special effects on survivors, but besides being fed to pet pandas, it can improve some of their attributes. It can also be placed in a special machine and made into animal feed. Among the harvested byproducts are bamboo shoots, which, when consumed regularly, can increase a survivor's speed.
Without going into the details of why bamboo could be used as feed, Yu Luowei also placed an animal pen next to the new farmland. This animal pen was similar to a small pasture, suitable for raising livestock. Yu Luowei planned to go out tomorrow and try to catch some chickens, rabbits, or something to put in it.
After collecting the red bricks from the brick-making machine, Yu Luowei returned to the shelter and checked on Ma Tuan. He had already finished the bamboo stick in his hand and had now climbed down from the sofa, looking around the shelter curiously. Sensing Yu Luowei's return, he immediately looked in her direction and called out softly twice.
Feeling Ma Tuan's nervousness about the unfamiliar environment and his trust and dependence on himself, Yu Luowei immediately picked up the cub and rubbed it a few times, then took it for a walk around the shelter to let the cub get familiar with the environment.
The pet advancement stone indicated that it was best to feed the pup at three months old, but the pet details showed that Ma Tuan was only two months old. Yu Luowei had originally thought that she would have to wait another month and three seasons to evolve Ma Tuan, but suddenly she saw a line of small text in the corner of the details: For pets, the ratio of game time to growth time is 1:10.
Now they only had to wait three days. Yu Luowei felt relieved, because she felt that Ma Tuan was not full yet, so she fed him another piece of jade bamboo.
After receiving the jade bamboo, Ma Tuan's mood improved a lot, and he immediately started to eat it. Seeing how deliciously it ate, Yu Luowei felt that her stomach suddenly became empty. She put Ma Tuan on the kang where there was no bed, and went downstairs to cook.
Tonight, they'll be eating the newly harvested Jade Bamboo Shoots and Bamboo Rice. Yu Luowei steamed the bamboo rice and then stir-fried the bamboo shoots with meat. The bamboo rice tasted more fragrant, and the Jade Bamboo Shoots were crisper and sweeter than regular ones. Without hesitation, Yu Luowei discarded the regular ones she'd dug today, planning to sell some later to clear some space.
After packing up, Yu Luowei ran to find Ma Tuan. She loved furry animals and had always wanted to have a cat, but for various reasons, she had never gotten one. Although Ma Tuan wasn't a cat, it was the fulfillment of her dream of having a furry animal.
After taking a deep breath of the little panda, Yu Luowei lay down on the bed and started petting the panda while reading the manual.
As soon as I opened the manual, I was bombarded with private messages from Fang Min:
Fang Min: Weiwei, thank you so much for the information and the weapons! It suddenly rained heavily here last night. I was so excited to collect some water for purification, but when I woke up this morning, the desert around me was almost covered in weeds.
Fang Min: The oasis was even more outrageous. Not only did the plants grow much larger, but I was attacked the moment I entered. I had no idea what kind of plants they were. Luckily, I had the moon sickle you gave me. I just kept slashing at the surroundings and actually killed a monster.
Fang Min: Fortunately, after I chopped down this vine monster, no more creatures attacked me in the oasis. I also got a blue treasure chest, which revealed a vine armor blueprint. I just made a lot, so I'll give you two!
Fang Min: Oh, by the way, Linlang and I traded some rain gear yesterday. I was thinking, if you agree, Weiwei, I'd like to create a small group of three. It would be easier to exchange information and supplies. What do you think? Of course, you will definitely still be my best friend in the survival world!!
Yu Luowei: I just returned to the shelter. Thank you for the vine armor. Are you okay? As for this small group, I'm completely fine. You can just pull me in.
Fang Min was probably standing by the manual. As soon as Yu Luowei sent the message, she received a reply:
Fang Min: Hehe, Weiwei, don't worry. With the moon sickle you gave me, I can't get hurt! I'll go set up a group right away!
After a while, a private chat group of three people appeared in Yu Luowei's manual.
Zhao Linlang was also online at this time. After politely greeting everyone in the group, she posted her experience today in the group:
Zhao Linlang: You should know that this area is an iron mine, so there's very little vegetation. But after last night's rain, a lot of plants suddenly appeared here, especially some strangely colored vines. Although they haven't shown any signs of aggression yet, they're already moving.
Zhao Linlang: I used the flaming sword Luo Wei gave me yesterday to burn most of it, but there's still some left that can't be burned, so I have to chop it off. It might turn into a monster tomorrow.
Fang Min re-posted her experience today in the group, and Yu Luowei followed suit. After a while, Zhao Linlang sent another message:
Zhao Linlang: I've been checking the chat channel since I came back. I'm pretty sure everyone experienced a rain last night, and the plants around us have all changed to varying degrees today. This rain must have been the catalyst for the plants to mutate into monsters.
[Fang Min: In that case, will there be more rainstorms? Or will it rain every night? Will the plants mutate more rapidly next time?]
Yu Luowei: Let's see if it rains tonight. By the way, if your weapons break, be sure to tell me immediately and I'll make you new ones.
[Fang Min: Armor too! There are a lot of vines here after the rain.]
Zhao Linlang: Thank you! If you're iron deficient, please let me know. I can provide it for free.
In this way, a mini survival game information and material exchange group was established. With this group, it would be easier to obtain information from the communication channel in the future. After all, Yu Luowei couldn't always read the messages. Overall, Yu Luowei felt that there were only benefits and no harm for the time being. Seeing that no one was talking in the group, he closed the group chat page.
