Defense Value: 12

[Danger Level: One Star]

Jin Xiaoman stared at the mutated beast, whose stats were almost double hers, and murmured in disbelief, "Am I really still in the newbie protection period?"

Without any tools or weapons, she was no match for this rabbit.

Ignoring her fear, she checked her watch to make out the direction of the safe house, scrambled to her feet, and ran as fast as she could.

The rabbit behind her seemed to be a tireless creature, its thick legs supporting it to leap several meters at a time, and it quickly caught up with Jin Xiaoman.

The rabbit jumped again.

When Jin Xiaoman turned around, she was so frightened she almost jumped out of her skin.

"That's not a rabbit, that's a kangaroo."

Jin Xiaoman hurriedly lowered her head, fell to the ground, and used all four limbs to make a 180-degree turn.

After making this move, even she was stunned for a moment, wondering how she could escape so skillfully.

The rabbit turned around in disbelief, quickly adjusted its posture in mid-air, and landed with all four limbs gripping the ground to catch up with Jin Xiaoman.

Jin Xiaoman kept thinking to himself, "Brother, we've never had any grudges or enemies, why are you chasing me like this?"

"Whoosh—whoosh—"

The constant whistling of the wind made Jin Xiaoman's lungs feel like they were about to explode, and the sounds coming from her throat sounded like they were being squeezed out of a broken bellows.

A thought flashed through her mind, but before she could grasp it, a wild boar, estimated to be over three meters tall, appeared directly in front of her.

The pig was completely black, with rows of dense barbs on its back, and saliva dripping constantly from its mouth onto the ground.

A pair of small, dark eyes gleamed with a fierce light as they stared intently at Jin Xiaoman.

【Name: Ink-Spine Wild Pig】

Strength: 23

Agility: 7

Defense Value: 25

Danger Level: Two Stars

Jin Xiaoman chuckled twice: "Brother Hazhu, what a coincidence, you also need something from me?"

She quietly took the kiwi out and put it in her backpack, making room for her two brothers to purify themselves.

The rabbit behind them had already caught up.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

As Jin Xiaoman's gaze swept over the pool she had cleaned, she instantly understood why she was being hunted down.

"Brother Pig, shall I return the water to you?"

Before Jin Xiaoman could even try, the wild boar kicked its front legs twice on the ground, grunting, and charged at her.

OK, this is disagreement.

Sweat dripped down her cheeks and into her clothes. Jin Xiaoman's gaze was resolute. There was no way to escape, so she would take a gamble.

She reacted quickly, lowering her body and lying down on the spot, passing under the wild boar, raising her arm, and running her fingers across the boar's belly: "Shh."

The huge wild boar simply vanished before our eyes.

The rabbit stared blankly for a moment, its eyes wide open.

Realizing he was no match for the bipedal monster, he charged up and jumped, disappearing from Jin Xiaoman's sight in the blink of an eye.

Jin Xiaoman clicked her tongue in amazement. So the rabbit hadn't even used its full strength when it was chasing her.

"Slacking off at work."

Jin Xiaoman put the kiwi fruit back in, and took the opportunity to observe the situation inside the space.

The wild boar was in a fit of rage, constantly ramming its body against the cage that it couldn't see but which trapped it.

When it saw that its own water was also there, it angrily roared "Ang Ang Ang!" and rammed even more fiercely.

Seeing this, Jin Xiaoman laughed and felt less pain in her body.

She leaned against the tree trunk and managed to get up to check her body.

Because of the fall to the ground, I was dizzy and lightheaded. Fortunately, I was wearing long sleeves and pants when I came back, so I only had abrasions.

Jin Xiaoman picked up a two-finger-thick wooden stick from the ground and used it as a crutch to support herself as she walked toward the safe house.

I continued scanning the plants with my watch along the way.

Unsurprisingly, there was no gain.

Midway through, because I didn't lift my foot high enough, I accidentally tripped over a stone.

Jin Xiaoman turned around, and the culprit was a 'stone' with a slight angle exposed, and its body had a metallic sheen.

Remembering the treasure chest she had just found at the bottom of the pool, she threw aside the stick, used a stone to break up the hardened soil with one hand, and shoveled the loosened soil aside with the other.

"It really is a treasure chest."

Previously, due to the critical situation, Jin Xiaoman hadn't looked closely. Now, she carefully reviewed the treasure chest in her mind, memorizing its appearance to prevent missing it in the future due to unfamiliarity.

"Not bad, not bad."

With this gain, Jin Xiaoman's low mood, which had been due to her injury forcing her to return home early, improved at this moment.

She beamed with joy, picked up the stick from the ground, and went back to look for more treasure chests. There were so many stones on the road; perhaps there were still some that she had missed.

Unfortunately, the road was indeed full of stones.

But Jin Xiaoman was not discouraged. Instead, she looked around more carefully, not only at her feet but also at the top of her head from time to time.

Finally, they found another treasure chest in a thicket.

Finally, we discovered a bunch of wild watermelons, which were also incredibly large.

After picking all the watermelons and putting them in her backpack, Jin Xiaoman set up an anchor point here.

She harbored a fantasy that, since it was a game world, these resource points might refresh daily.

At that time, selling watermelons alone will bring in a considerable income.

Just thinking about it made Jin Xiaoman grin foolishly.

…………

It was already 4 PM when we got back to the safe house. There wasn't much time left until it got dark at 6 PM, and my mental state had dropped to a terrifying 20 points.

Jin Xiaoman took out raspberries from her backpack.

[Beep beep, radiation-free plant detected. We recommend consuming or selling it.]

Radiation-free raspberries are larger and more plump and round than when they were freshly picked. Even the abnormal dark purple color has completely disappeared, replaced by a deep crimson red.

I was exhausted, thirsty, and hungry after a long day.

Jin Xiaoman couldn't wait to pick a raspberry, put it in her mouth and savor it. The skin was smooth and slightly glutinous, and the flesh was delicate, soft and juicy. One bite made her mouth water.

Jin Xiaoman couldn't resist and ate two more.

The kudzu root has been purified by now.

She first took out the shorter section, scraped off the skin of the kudzu root with a stone she had picked up, and took a small bite.

It has a slightly bitter taste, is very crunchy, a bit powdery, but not as good as raspberries.

But I still ate a few more bites; this stuff really satisfies my hunger.

After a few bites, the dizziness and blurred vision I had felt when I first returned to the safe house were somewhat relieved.

"I wonder how much kudzu root can sell for?"

Jin Xiaoman placed the large kudzu root in the store's sales section.

The system popped up a prompt: "[2000 kg of non-radioactive kudzu root detected. Would you like to exchange it for 4000 game coins?]"

"So many?"

Jin Xiaoman was surprised at first, then she did the math and realized that it was actually only one game coin per pound. The reason why the game coins were so many was simply because the kudzu root was too big.

I won't sell them. I have no use for them myself. Trading them would require cutting them into pieces, and I don't have the tools to do so.

Using stones will only cause unnecessary losses.

Jin Xiaoman made a firm decision and clicked "sell".
