Post-apocalyptic game: I survive at sea by scavenging for trash.

Lin Zhaoyin doesn't like to make enemies, and her family always says she's a nice person, but even nice people have tempers.

I inexplicably ended up in this lousy game, and nobody knows if I'll even make it to tomorrow. But even in times like these, there are still people causing trouble.

If it were just for their own benefit, that would be one thing, but people who only hide behind a screen and make sarcastic remarks are simply unable to stand seeing others do well; their mentality is twisted.

In the past, Lin Zhaoyin had always endured this situation, but this time she really couldn't bear it anymore.

There are some things I want some players to understand: neither I nor Uncle Qin have an obligation to be responsible for the safety of any player. The reason we are willing to stand up is because we are all Chinese!

We have the ability and the conscience; we don't want our compatriots to lose their lives in this mysterious game! What we do, however much or how little, is our choice and our freedom!

Although our judgment was somewhat flawed this time, we warned everyone about the risks of this choice from the very beginning, and we have already updated everyone with the information again today.

Currently, only the three of us players are known to have obtained pet eggs; no one else has mentioned getting one. Does that mean no one else had time to try? Since no one has taken action, what is the basis for accusing us of harming others?

Even without naming names, everyone knew who was being referred to. Most players tacitly kept quiet at this point; they still hoped that an expert would guide them, but they didn't expect the information provided by such experts to be 100% accurate.

The chat channel fell into a brief silence after Lin Zhaoyin posted her long message.

The player who had just left naturally knew that Lin Zhaoyin was cursing him, and he would feel aggrieved if he slunk away now.

Just because no one said anything doesn't mean no one else got the pet egg. Isn't it normal for everyone to want to hide their strength?

Lin Zhaoyin found this rebuttal amusing.

[Yes, it's normal to hide your strength. Does that mean those of us who don't hide it deserve to be criticized by people like you? If everyone thinks that way, then Uncle Qin and I will watch our mouths from now on and not say anything, no matter what happens.]

Lin Zhaoyin's words were a bombshell. So many players in their 1091 district were relying on top players like Qin Feng and Lin Zhaoyin to share information and help them survive. Without the guidance of these experts, many players wouldn't know how long they could last on their own.

Sister Lin, don't bother with this kind of person. There are ungrateful wretches like that everywhere. Just ignore him!

[I'm speechless. Some people get the benefits and then complain. If it weren't for Commander Qin and Xiao Lin, we would have been dead a hundred times over!]

[Exactly! You're incompetent yourself but can't stand seeing others succeed. Now that you've got a chance to spout off, all you have to do is talk!]

[You think there's a problem, we think there's no problem. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. This intelligence was obtained by Kobayashi through a lot of hardship. She didn't even know how many tricks this game had up its sleeve, so why blame her?]

Seeing so many players speaking up for her, Lin Zhaoyin's anger finally subsided a bit. She hadn't really intended to use her ultimate skill at point-blank range, but some people just couldn't be ignored!

After everyone had finished cursing, Qin Feng also said a few words.

What many of you may not know is that Lin Zhaoyin has done far more than what you've seen. Much of the information I share with you actually comes from her. It's just that she feels my position allows me to better guide everyone, and that's why you're more willing to listen to me.

As the Commander-in-Chief of the Special Forces of China, I naturally have a mission to serve everyone. But Lin Zhaoyin is different from me; everything she did stemmed from her kind nature. I also believe that we Chinese people are inherently grateful and won't negate someone's many efforts just because of one or two mistakes!

Every time Qin Feng spoke up for her, Lin Zhaoyin felt quite embarrassed. It was like when she was in school and the principal personally called her out and praised her in front of the whole school.

Thank you, Uncle Qin. I'm not really abandoning everyone; I believe most Chinese people are willing to work together to overcome this difficulty.

Before the servers were merged, Lin Zhaoyin had actually argued with someone once. Although many people sided with her both times, Lin Zhaoyin felt that having someone like Qin Feng in charge made a difference.

The players in the group comforted Lin Zhaoyin again, while the two players from other countries couldn't help but jump around in frustration at the sight. But since this was a matter for China, no one paid them any attention.

After exiting the server chat, Lin Zhaoyin received a private message from Qin Feng.

"Xiaolin, I've been thinking about it. Actually, you can say many things yourself without me, and I'll still support you. The more you do, the more people will trust you."

Lin Zhaoyin had considered it, but it was just too exhausting. It was enough that Qin Feng knew about all the sacrifices she had made; she believed the country wouldn't treat her unfairly if she could leave this place in the future.

But if she really had to rush to the front for everything herself, Lin Zhaoyin felt that her small body couldn't handle it.

Uncle Qin, I still think it's more reliable to leave it to you. I have social anxiety and don't want to deal with too many people.

Qin Feng didn't press the matter, and in his heart he felt that Lin Zhaoyin was a good child who didn't seek credit.

Lin Zhaoyin had told Zhou Shiyun to go and rest first, as she was also exhausted from a long day and had stayed up with her until the pet gave birth. If she didn't go to sleep soon, her body really wouldn't be able to take it anymore.

So Lin Zhaoyin plans to cook dinner herself tonight. She hasn't cooked since the island was merged.

Lin Zhaoyin decided to make some wraps so that Zhou Shiyun could easily eat them even if she woke up later.

While preparing to cook, Lin Zhaoyin suddenly realized: What will Mimi eat? Do pets need to eat?

Tigers are carnivores, so they wouldn't eat meat every meal, would they?

Mimi could only meow, and Lin Zhaoyin couldn't communicate with it, so she could only take out all the ingredients and let it try them all.

Lin Zhaoyin was worried that Mimi wouldn't be able to chew it, so she cut off a small piece of fish, crab, bird meat, and other meats that she had on hand and fed it to her by hand.

The white tiger beast Mimi came over and sniffed, then started rubbing against Lin Zhaoyin's hand, seemingly showing no interest in the food.

Lin Zhaoyin didn't know if it wasn't hungry or didn't like it, so she took out the vegetables again and tried them one by one, but it still wouldn't eat them.

Does that mean they don't eat raw food?

So Lin Zhaoyin decided to prepare a variety of ingredients and cook more side dishes so that she could have a mixed vegetable pancake for dinner.

After cooking the mixed stew, Lin Zhaoyin picked out each ingredient and let Mimi try it, but she still wouldn't eat it and would rub her hands against it.

Do pets really not need to eat?
