This game is so weird!

"Oh, okay!"

Ye Yu quickly realized what was happening and pulled Mu Yu and the other person aside to make way for the door.

"Thanks."

Several bio-engineered humans walked towards the base.

As they passed by Ye Yu and her two companions, the woman who had just spoken to them glanced at the conspicuous Pikachu and smiled at Ye Yu.

"Soon, the base will open pet breeding and raising services. These services are affordable and allow pets to play happily at the base when it is inconvenient to bring them on adventures."

"If you're interested, you can come to the bar later for more information~"

After speaking, the woman walked into the base.

"Hey, we were just saying Pikachu doesn't like going into the water, and here comes the nursery."

Er Miao was greatly amazed; the game's response to user needs was incredibly fast.

Or was it prepared in advance and only released now?

"Yes, let's go for a walk on the beach together, and come back later."

Night Rain nodded, then looked at Pikachu.

"Pikachu, what do you think?"

Pikachu thought about the ketchup fries at the base, then about the surging ocean, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Pikachu!"

"Let's go then! To the beach!!"

Er Miao suddenly jumped up and led the three of them towards the beach. Only Mu Yu, who was lagging behind, glanced at the three people who were cleaning the bar in the base with a puzzled look.

Something feels off.

He shook his head and slowly walked towards the beach.

Following the route they had explored before, the three arrived at an inner bay.

The white sand spread out underfoot. Er Miao took off the flat shoes she had just made and happily touched the beach with her toes, soon digging a small hole.

The moment they felt cold against their skin and their feet ached, they followed Ye Yu's advice and made a set of basic work clothes and shoes that looked human at their workbench.

I felt much better after putting it on. I usually play in first-person perspective, and the basic clothes don't offer any advantages and don't look good.

So the three of them never even thought about wearing outerwear; a short leather jacket would suffice.

Unexpectedly, this trip back home turned into a disaster. Muyu accidentally kicked the threshold and jumped around holding his foot for a long time.

What good game would you play that hurts your feet?

"The beach feels so nice..."

"I haven't been to the beach in ages!"

Er Miao lay sprawled on the beach, enveloped in the shade of coconut trees along the shore, and exclaimed happily.

"Yes, I had never seen the sea before playing this game."

Night Rain nodded, her Pikachu headband swaying back and forth.

Seeing that the others had stopped and were not going to continue, Pikachu jumped down to the ground and curiously looked at the coconut trees and grass next to it.

To be honest, it was less than 5 days old and had never seen these green things before.

There isn't even a single decorative potted plant in the base right now.

I rummaged through the grass for a while and it smelled quite fragrant.

Pikachu tentatively took a bite and chewed it with its little mouth.

"Pooh!"

With a pained expression, it spat out the grass and then pawed at its tongue.

This grass smells delicious but tastes awful.

Add this grass to the food blacklist. Pikachu turned to look at its mount. They were taking out boxes and food bought at the base from their backpacks. It was strange that such a small backpack could hold so much stuff.

The three of them took out four small storage boxes, stacked them in pairs to form a small table, and placed the fish and chips, steak, and filtered water they had bought in advance on the table. The simple camping table was set up.

Then Ye Yu turned around and looked at the coconut trees around her; there were still many fruits on the trees.

The area was deserted, and since players weren't interested beforehand, the coconut trees grew very well.

"I'll go pick a few coconuts and try them."

"Go ahead, go ahead, I need to lie down for a while..."

"Then I'll go catch two fish and see if I can grill them and eat them."

Er Miao and Mu Yu replied, and then Mu Yu took out a fishing rod from his backpack and walked towards the sea.

Ermiao continued to lie on the beach, her head resting on the grass, teasing Pikachu with a blade of grass.

After spending the last two days together, Pikachu has become familiar with the group. While it can't be said to be completely obedient, it's not a big problem to cooperate occasionally when it's in a good mood, so it's been jumping around in fits and starts.

Since I had nothing else to do, I figured I'd just go along with this female human's attitude since she'd treated me to fries before.

Ye Yu came to the tree and looked up at the tall fruit tree. She learned the movements from watching outdoor videos and successfully climbed halfway up with her strong, standardized body.

Just as they were about to continue climbing upwards.

"Sizzle—crackling sound!"

A bolt of lightning flashed and struck the top of the tree precisely.

Four or five coconuts scattered as the coconut tree swayed. Two of them flew in a parabola and landed squarely on the night rain.

"Thump!"

"ah--"

After feeling the pain, Ye Yu instinctively raised his left hand to cover his head. Immediately afterward, another coconut hit the tip of his right little finger, which was firmly gripping the tree trunk. With a sharp pain, he fell to the ground.

It crashed onto the beach with a loud thud.

The culprit, Pikachu, was completely stunned, and the two cats next to him were also dumbfounded.

Why am I so unlucky?

A slightly curved tree trunk with its crown leaning outwards—even if it fell naturally due to gravity, it wouldn't hit anyone in the tree.

Hitting two out of five coconuts is unbelievable.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

"Pikachu, Pikachu!"

After a moment of stunned silence, seeing that Ye Yu was alright, he started to get up.

The man and the mouse looked at each other and laughed happily.

A few cups of wine in the night rain, health -20.

The friendship between Er Miao and Pikachu has improved, with intimacy increasing by 10.

If Li Ang's player assistance system were better, with full-screen information prompts and pet intimacy features, several people could see this information.

Exchanging tangible blood for intangible friendship—isn't that a kind of equivalent exchange?

Not long after she finished laughing, Ye Yu came back carrying five coconuts.

"It hurts so much... Pikachu, your electric shock is pretty powerful, even the objects you knock away hurt this much."

"Pikachu!"

Pikachu proudly stands with its hands on its hips.

"I just realized there aren't any painkillers or healing items in this game... I have to tough it out."

"Haha, usually nothing happens to me, or I get bitten to death by fish and crabs in no time. I really didn't notice."

Er Miao chuckled sheepishly and touched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed to admit that he was the one who encouraged Pikachu to fry coconuts.

"Perhaps they'll provide them once the exploration base is built? At least painkillers should be available; it's a fully immersive motion-sensing game, if they can't relieve the pain..."

"It seems okay, it doesn't hurt much now, but my health isn't recovering."

After replying to Ye Yu, she threw the coconuts on the beach, picked one up, and placed it on the table.

He raised his hand and looked at his fist, which was as big as a sandbag; his little finger was still slightly red and swollen.

He shook his head, realizing this wouldn't work, then pulled his fist back, took out a dagger from his bag, and with one hand, he pressed down hard on the coconut, slicing it open.

Under the watchful eyes of the two people and the mouse, the dagger lived up to expectations and sliced ​​open a flat surface in the coconut.

Looking at the fibrous layer inside the green shell, the white flesh, and the clear juice, Ye Yu licked her lips and spat, "Pah, sand."

The first coconut was handed to Er Miao, and Ye Yu took out the second one and cut it open, just like the cat had done.

"How does it taste?"

"what?"

Er Miao wiped her mouth, then drank it all in one gulp. The cool coconut water felt like a cold current running through her entire body, making her feel so comfortable she almost cried out.

Why is the beach in the game so hot?!

She paused for a moment before realizing Ye Yu was asking her, and quickly replied, "It's pretty good, ice-cold and sweet!"

"Oh, has anything unusual happened?"

"No, my blood volume is normal, and my hydration level is slowly increasing... Hey!! What do you mean? Are you using me as a test subject!?"

"oh……"

Hearing the satisfactory answer, Ye Yu nodded, handed the second coconut to Pikachu, and pretended not to have heard as she began to process the third coconut.
