Chapter 27 Even dogs wouldn't talk about it
Before he had even finished packing half of his luggage, Yu Shaochen was so exhausted that he collapsed onto the straw mat and fell asleep. Chong Zhen had already turned over and was fast asleep with his back to him. The cave was so quiet that only the sound of three breaths could be heard.

Ling Chengen squeezed onto Ling Xiaoxi's bed, looking at the clutter he had just tidied up. He crossed his arms and stared at Ling Xiaoxi, who looked unwilling but had no choice but to put away her animal skin skirt. He sneered, "I didn't expect your cave to be comparable to a doghouse."

"Ling Xiaoxi, you're really something!"

Ling Xiaoxi retorted indignantly, "So what if it's a doghouse? It's my own place, I'll just stay where I'm comfortable. It'll be a mess again in a couple of days anyway, why do I have to keep it tidy?"

Ling Chengen narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of disgust in his voice, "You'll get lice and fleas like this. Once you're infested, it won't be easy to get rid of them. You might have to shave your head completely to control them."

Ling Xiaoxi immediately covered her head and turned to protest, "Don't keep scaring me. I'm not an innocent little kid anymore."

Ling Chengen threw the two animal skin skirts he had pulled out from under the straw mat at her head, and said coldly, "Who's in the mood to scare you! Hurry up and pack your things. The little panda next door has packed its huge bag, and you've already packed a few animal skin skirts? Are you planning to fold them for a year?"

What she couldn't stand the most was slovenliness. Even in such a terrible post-apocalyptic environment, she always tried her best to maintain good personal hygiene.

Especially having lice and fleas, which sounds like something only stray animals would have.

As her younger sister, Ling Xiaoxi couldn't possibly be as dirty as an unwanted puppy, could she?
Ling Chengen sat cross-legged on the straw mat, watching Ling Xiaoxi tidy up the cave, while thinking about what he needed to do in the coming period of time.

I need to get up early tomorrow morning to check on the metal stored by some of the gold-type orcs in the tribe.

Afterwards, we will visit the Hanshan tribe to discuss cooperation on storing prey on their land.

She also needs to find a flying orc to team up with as soon as possible to go to the Misty Swamp. Although she can do it alone, having a flying partner should make the snake-lizard hunting process smoother and shorten the round trip time.

Wu Zhuo was not in her consideration, mainly because he was not yet sixteen years old, which would be considered a protected child in any tribe. The Misty Swamp was such a dangerous place that it was obviously not suitable to take him there.

We also need to find a suitable plot of land for planting as soon as possible, turn the land over, and go back to the plot where we found the potatoes last time. We need to dig up all the potatoes and replant them after they sprout.

It's already April, and if we delay any longer, we'll miss the potato planting season.

So, when you calculate it this way... there's simply not enough time.

Moreover, there was no reliable helper.

Ling Xiao had to lead the orcs of his tribe to hunt and ensure the basic food supply for everyone in the tribe, so Ling Chengen did not intend to ask Ling Xiao for help.

The four little good-for-nothings left in the house... let's not even talk about them.

The system popped into her mind, anxiously saying, "You should stay in your own cave tonight, that way you can get at least 25 energy points."

"Why are there 25?" Ling Chengen had to spare some of his attention to deal with the noisy system.

"You can get 10 energy points for the first six hours of sex with each beastman, and 5 energy points for each subsequent sex."

"You really go to great lengths to put me in the same boat as them, don't you?" Ling Chengen said with a hint of exasperation, his lips curling into a sarcastic smile. "Those who know you will say you're a love security system; those who don't will probably think you're some kind of indescribable Minion system."

The Love Security System immediately jumped up and down, saying, "Pah, you big devil! Stop slandering me! I'm pure as a feather!"

"There's no need for sharing a room. If you're lucky, you can take these energy points; if not, so be it," Ling Chengen said.

"Energy points can be exchanged for antidotes!"

Ling Chengen chuckled, "You middleman, nothing's cheap from you. Do you dare say how many energy points it would cost to get the antidote?"

The system almost teared up: "..." Hmm, this woman is really too hard to fool.

"180 energy points for one antidote." Ling Chengen snorted coldly, "180 points?"

"Up to now, I received 5 energy points each for my first contact with Chongzhen and Shao Chen, and 10 energy points for spending time in the same room with Chongzhen. I have used 2 energy points so far, and I now only have 18 energy points."

"Even if I spend tonight in the same cave with the three of them and get 25 points, plus 15 points every day thereafter, I would need to spend another 10 nights with the three of them to accumulate enough energy points to exchange for an antidote."

Ling Chengen poked the system with his mental tentacles, causing it to fall backward: "Wait another ten days? Su Weihua's corpse will probably be cold by then."

"The wounds on his face will not heal for the time being due to the toxins, but they are not necessarily fatal."

Ling Chengen leaned against the stone wall, closed his eyes to rest, and spoke to the system in a cold tone.

"You can pull him down."

With such a deep, repeatedly festering wound on the face, in such poor medical conditions, infection is almost guaranteed. If it catches a virus, it could lead to sudden death; or it could cause encephalitis and turn the person into an idiot…

She'd been busy for so long, but it was all for nothing.

If all goes well, you can go to the Misty Swamp and return in two days, and get rid of the poison in three days.

So why would she rely on a useless love system?

Ha ha.

Dating?! Not even a dog would date.

This is the real reason why she has always been unwilling to engage with the Erque system.

In the extremely harsh environment of the apocalypse, everyone was desperate to survive, and humanity, morality, and conscience were completely trampled on, but the love system only wanted her to help the male and female protagonists fall in love.

Upon arriving in this primitive and backward beast world, where natural disasters are constant, resources are scarce, and a single disease can easily claim a life, it wants her to focus on falling in love and having children...

So it's not that she has a bad temper, it's just that this broken system is brain-dead.

The Love Security System was once again rendered helpless by her criticism, retreating to a corner of her mental realm to grow mushrooms.

……

As dawn broke and the eastern half of the sky was tinged with a faint bluish-green hue, Ling Chengen quietly emerged from Ling Xiaoxi's cave.

Yesterday afternoon, I dried some firewood on the rocky beach. Before going to bed last night, I collected it all and piled it up next to the rock wall not far from the cave entrance.

Ling Chengen carried a small bundle of firewood to the stone stove, soaked the two portions of medicinal herbs in the stone pots, and then went to the stream to wash up, peeling and washing a basket of potatoes as well.

All the washed potatoes were thrown into a stone pot with boiling water, some salt was added, the lid was put on, and then all that was left was to wait.

Ling Chengen dried his hands and walked into his cave.

She lifted the straw curtain, her steps halting instantly, her eyes meeting a scarlet eye.

This chapter has over 2 words.

The results of the retest will be released this afternoon, and they will determine whether I can continue writing this book!
