I am weak and friendly

Chapter 268 is not what you see!

In the living room, Tang Yiping sat in his wheelchair, lost in thought.

To obtain the magical items from the "Survival Guide for the Weak" and stand up again, you must have a "safe place to live".

Tang Yiping had been completely clueless until now, but suddenly there has been progress.

Good news: one's own habitat, though not naturally endowed with the best qualities, can still be improved.

The bad news is that this ascension process doesn't seem to fully align with Earth's logic.

For example, if a person on Earth wants to improve the security of their home, they can keep a guard dog.

However, for their own residence, a dog is no good for guarding the house, but Lola is.

???

He just wanted to ask about this ridiculous and bizarre "Survival Guide for the Weak".

With Lola guarding the door, where is it really safe?!
Does Lola kill anyone who comes to her door with a single breath?

What if there are 10,000 streamers broadcasting Lola live from their doorsteps?
How did Lola manage to verbally annihilate 10,000 streamers in a single live broadcast?

So, what kind of security is this?
As expected, the "Survival Guide for the Weak" has a different understanding of safety than that of Earthlings.

Even if we take a step back and assume it's just to rack up approval points for the "Survival Guide for the Weak," Lola can't just sit at her doorstep and guard it all the time!

This forced Tang Yiping to choose between figuring out the boundaries between Earth's logic and the "Survival Guide for the Weak" on his own, or directly referring to the suggestions of other "Survival Guide for the Weak" users.

For example, creating passageways to three different bubble spaces for one's own dwelling place...

At least open a back door that leads to other bubble spaces...

Considering that each creature's perception may be different, and that every other [Survival Guide for the Weak] user who came to Earth has a higher survival level than him, although they are not very useful in terms of safety, everyone's experience is worth referring to in order to complete the system certification.

He just asked Lola the same question: what kind of place is safe to live?

Lola's answer was as follows:
"First, it has to be extremely well hidden! The kind that no one would even glance at if they passed by a hundred times! Second, it has to be very close to good food! Third, it has to be small and feel cozy, so you feel safe when you sleep! Fourth, it has to be something you can easily discard or replace. This is the most important thing, because enemies might be waiting at your doorstep at any time. In that case, discarding it and getting a new one is the wise thing to do..."

Tang Yiping listened to Lola's conditions, comparing them one by one, and then recalled the nest that Lola had chosen for him when she first came to Earth.

A cardboard box next to a trash can...

Extremely well-hidden; someone could walk by a hundred times and not even glance at it. Yeah, aside from the scavenging auntie, nobody would care about a cardboard box thrown into a roadside trash can; it's very close to good food, and considering Lola's recipes, this thing is indeed very close to the trash can; it feels cozy, you can throw it away anytime…

Tang Yiping finally understood why Lola still had some complaints about her shoe cabinet.

Indeed, one's own shoe cabinet is not as good as a trash can.

How about... we replace Lola's shoe cabinet by the door with a cardboard box?
Hmm... Lola might be happy, but she'd probably be terrified if she woke up to find herself in a junkyard, with the old lady collecting money and the junkyard manager collecting the junk...

Of course, Lola's suggestion was not without merit. Tang Yiping summarized four points: concealment, easy foraging, portability and easy replacement. Tang Yiping thought it could be included in the list of options.

In addition, Tang Yiping also asked Lola to ask Lux for her opinion. Lux believed that a safe place should be: first, have thick soil to take root in; second, be able to hide oneself and blend into the surrounding environment; third, be long-term and stable, and not change for any reason, preferably as unchanging as mountains and rivers; and fourth, be able to protect one's friends.

Yes, that's a very good requirement for a tree.

But this also clashed with many of Lola's opinions.

Furthermore, based on this, Tang Yiping felt he should be lying in Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum right now. Or... should he plant Lux in the living room too?
If Lola can do it, Lux can too...

After thinking it over, Tang Yiping decided to forget about it. As a human being, he figured he should first get a better security door for his house.
Then he checked the price of security doors, as well as the brand and price of the security door that Mr. Du Yuanshan had. He suddenly wondered if Mr. Du Yuanshan might have a phobia of persecution.

This isn't safe?
Just as Tang Yiping was thinking, the phone rang again.

"Hey...you ordered takeout, but...where exactly do you live? Why is there a door...ahhh...what do you want to do?!"

Tang Yiping opened the door speechlessly and saw Lola craning her neck to sniff the takeout bag in the delivery guy's hand.

The delivery guy leaned tightly against the elevator door, his expression terrified and...unreadable.

"Lola, come back!" Tang Yiping said, and Lola pounced like a vicious dog and rushed to Tang Yiping's side.

Then, the deliveryman's terrified and complicated expression fell on Tang Yiping.

Tang Yiping: "Uh..."

Did this delivery guy misunderstand something?
"Hehe... I didn't see anything... Don't worry about me..." The delivery guy chuckled dryly, reaching behind him to fumble for the elevator door buttons.

"No, you've misunderstood, wait a minute..." Tang Yiping was about to explain when the delivery guy dropped the food, shouted, and turned to enter the elevator.

No, what on earth are you thinking? Please tell me!
Let me explain! It's not what you think!

Tang Yiping felt that he was about to become the number one topic of conversation in some food delivery group, with everyone talking about everything from where he lived to what he looked like...

Of course, there's also Lola. Given Lola's fame, she might have already been recognized, which is why the other party is so terrified.

A notification popped up in front of Tang Yiping's eyes:

—Your shelter is under serious threat and its security has been reduced.

So I'm saying, where exactly is Lola's doorman safe?
It's not safe at all!

The next second, another message appeared.

—Threat eliminated, your shelter's security restored.

what's the situation?
The elevator doors had already closed when Tang Yiping saw a cluster of tiny lights fly out of the elevator.

It is the "dust of original stillness".

"Well done!" Tang Yiping clenched his fist.

[Original Dust] is still useful!

and many more!

Tang Yiping suddenly had an idea...

"Stoka, can the [Mother Tree of Primordial Dust] be transplanted?"

Tang Yiping asked.

If I can't plant Lux, that vampiric "tree of wisdom," then maybe I can plant a [Tree of Primordial Dust]?
Absolutely top-notch stealth!
The question is, how many steps are involved in transplanting the [Original Dust Mother Tree]?
