Chapter 121 Let’s Talk About It Next Time

Song Xizheng: "Hehe, I almost forgot we’re not in the survival world anymore. I’m on the 3rd floor. Shall I take you out for some fun tomorrow?"

After thinking about it for a while, Lin Yun agreed to Song Xizheng’s invitation.

Last time, she hadn’t had much time, so she had only wandered around casually. Song Xizheng, on the other hand, had already been staying at the transit station for quite a while, so he was naturally much more familiar with the place than she was.

After ending the conversation, Lin Yun switched back to the chat channel.

This time, she noticed that a new section had appeared on the left side of the chat channel.

There was now a China channel and a world channel.

Her shelter had been upgraded to level 3, which was what had unlocked the world channel.

Lin Yun switched channels again and entered the world channel.

The moment she entered, she was greeted by a flood of messages.

Survivors who posted messages would have their country’s abbreviation added before their ID for easy identification.

People from different countries were all speaking in their own languages, and the world channel was so crowded that the messages were moving too quickly for Lin Yun to keep up with them.

After watching for a while, Lin Yun quickly switched back to the Chinese channel.

Seeing the familiar Chinese characters again, Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

It had to be Chinese.

It looked so natural and familiar.

She then began browsing through the messages in the Chinese channel.

George: "Did Song Zhenzhen change her ways today? She actually gave me a steamed bun, and it’s a meat bun."

Xiong Qi: "Are you crazy, or am I crazy? Song Zhenzhen offered you a steamed bun without asking for points?"

Guo Yizhen: "Why did she give it to you for free, but charge me 3 points?"

Xiong Qi: "No, you’re really buying it? Aren’t you afraid you’ll throw up from eating it?"

George: "@Xiong Qi, but the steamed buns she made today were really delicious."

Xiong Qi: "Did the sun rise in the west?"

Song Zhenzhen: "@Xiong Qi, you just wait. You’re going to descend to the next world in three days, huh? See if I don’t mess with you."

Xiong Qi fell silent instantly.

It was unclear whether he wanted to launch the mission worldwide overnight or whether he was already trying to figure out a way to avoid Song Zhenzhen.

Lin Yun couldn’t help but glance at the messages with some amusement before continuing to scroll down.

Qin Mingyue: "Did someone enter the world of mutated plants and animals last month? Who went in? Do you have any aggressive mutated species? If so, contact me anytime. I’ll buy them."

Qin Mingyue: "We don’t sell the mutated species, but we can buy their fruit."

George: "@Qin Mingyue, where did you get this information?"

Qin Mingyue: "Mind your own business."

Xiong Qi: "Is George stupid? Qin Mingyue is someone who lives in the inner ring road, so it’s normal for her to have connections."

George: "Stop arguing. Those who’ve been in, come out and say something."

Song Zhenzhen: "Are you guys out of your minds? If someone has something good, why would they be spouting nonsense to you on the channel?"

Qin Mingyue: "If you have any, please message me privately. I’ll buy them at a high price. My reputation is guaranteed. You can ask an NPC in the inner ring to act as an intermediary."

Song Zhenzhen: "Qin Mingyue, why are you collecting that stuff? You don’t want to be someone who can’t afford props."

Qin Mingyue sighed in front of her panel.

It was true that she could afford the props, but she still needed to be prepared, right?

She had a premonition that the next world would be very dangerous for her.

If she didn’t prepare some self-defense items in advance, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to come back alive.

Qin Mingyue had only collected some props so far, but over the past two days, she had suddenly learned through her connections that some survivors had recently entered the world of mutated plants and animals.

Therefore, she had to come and ask about it as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, while peeking at the screen, Lin Yun slurped down a bowl of snail rice noodles.

The strong smell of snail rice noodles was apparently too much for Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan to tolerate.

The two couldn’t stand it, so they had run to the backyard long ago.

Lin Yun glanced toward the courtyard again.

She then looked at Gui Teng, who was happily eating nearby, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"Little Teng, it seems only the two of us can eat together!"

Ghost Vine: [It’s all covered!]

Lin Yun looked at the little vine.

It seemed that Little Teng was completely satisfied with the arrangement.

After finishing his own portion, Ghost Vine ran off to play in the backyard.

Lin Yun cleaned up the trash from her meal and put it aside.

She then closed the chat channel.

There were still some things on her panel that she hadn’t looked at yet.

The points mall had been opened, but nothing had been listed yet.

It seemed that she would have to wait until she entered the new world before anything appeared there.

The items listed this time might not be food.

The newly opened slot was in the third row, and Lin Yun didn’t know what it would contain.

She could only wait until the next world to find out.

Lin Yun checked her current points.

She currently had a total of 1475 points.

Just as she was looking at the number, the system suddenly appeared.

[Ahem, shall we settle the electricity bill from the last world?]

Lin Yun nodded again.

"You do the math."

Because it had rained almost constantly in the previous world, Lin Yun’s solar panels had long since run out of power and could no longer be used.

Therefore, she had informed the system about it.

The system quickly calculated the amount.

[Electricity bill settled. 69 points deducted. Remaining points: 1406.]

Lin Yun looked at her remaining points.

"Okay."

She didn’t bother looking at the mission center.

There was nothing there anyway.

The mission center remained empty until she re-entered the survival world.

Lin Yun suddenly remembered something else.

She had forgotten to mention the backpack before entering the zombie world last time.

After upgrading the shelter, it had gained five backpack slots.

Now that the shelter had reached level 3, it had added another ten backpack slots.

Combined with the initial twelve backpack slots, she now had a total of twenty-two backpack slots.

Lin Yun thought about it carefully again.

Was there anything else she hadn’t checked?

She sat there for a while, carefully going through everything she had seen and everything she had done since entering the transit station.

After thinking for a long time, Lin Yun finally realized that there was nothing else she had overlooked.

Since that was the case, she simply stopped worrying about it.

Instead, she moved a chair over and sat down to watch them fool around in the backyard.

The backyard was quite lively.

Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan were there, and Ghost Vine was also playing around.

Lin Yun watched them for a while.

As she watched, however, she gradually started to feel a little bored.

It was still early, and she wasn’t sleepy yet.

There was nothing particularly urgent left for her to do.

After thinking for a moment, she summoned the system.

"If you’re bored, you can farm."

Lin Yun looked at the backyard.

"There’s no land to plant anything. How big is this backyard anyway? I still have a mutated peach tree that I haven’t brought out yet."

She paused for a moment before continuing.

"I’m a bit bored, System. Let’s chat."

The system was silent for a moment.

[What should we talk about?]

Lin Yun leaned back in her chair.

"Let’s talk about the next world."

However, after a long while, the system still did not respond to Lin Yun.

Lin Yun waited.

One second passed.

Then another.

Still no response.

Just when she thought the system had crashed, she called out again.

"System?"

The system finally responded.

[I’m here.]

Lin Yun again: "..."

Failed to get the information out of him.

She had originally wanted to find out something about the next world, but the system had completely avoided answering her question.

Lin Yun thought about it again and decided to change the subject.

"By the way, can the shelter only keep expanding in terms of its internal area? Or can it have a second floor or something? You should be able to tell me that, right?"

Even if the system didn’t tell her directly, she could find out from other survivors eventually.

The system finally answered.

[After level 5, there will be a second floor, and the bedroom will be moved to the second floor. The first floor will then be used as a dedicated living area, but you can arrange and renovate it as you see fit.]

Lin Yun’s eyes lit up.

"So you guys are pretty nice."

She had already started imagining what the shelter would look like after it had a second floor.

The system, however, wasn’t finished.

[Not only that, but level 8 will have a front yard.] The system said again in a low voice.

Lin Yun, who had been leaning back in her chair, suddenly sat upright in shock.

"Can it be unlocked ahead of time?"

She immediately became interested.

"How is the area calculated? Is it the same as the backyard?"

The system immediately snorted.

[Heh, dream on! You need to reach level 8 to unlock it! The area is calculated based on the backyard area.]

Lin Yun leaned back in her chair again.

"It’s alright then. Level 8 is still a long way off."

Although she was interested in the front yard, level 8 was still far away.

There was no point in thinking about it now.

Then Lin Yun suddenly remembered something else.

Oh, right.

She also needed to ask about selling things.

She had collected quite a lot of fruit from the mutated trees by now, and she wanted to sell the corresponding ordinary fruit.

Before she could ask, the system answered.

[Sell it to me. I’ll buy it!]

Lin Yun blinked.

"You can accept it even when it enters the transit station? I didn’t hear you mention that last time."

The system’s voice immediately became somewhat self-righteous.

[Your level isn’t high enough.]

Last time Lin Yun entered the transfer station, she was only level 2.

Naturally, she hadn’t unlocked many of the available functions and items.

Lin Yun again: "..."

She had been wondering why the system had never mentioned this before.

It turned out that her level had simply been too low.

Lin Yun thought for a moment before asking another question.

"Can I sell things in the points mall?"

[Can.]

Lin Yun’s eyes lit up again.

That sounded quite convenient.

She was about to say something, but the system immediately poured cold water on her enthusiasm.

[Unlocked at level 5. Can only be sold at the transfer station, and a deposit of 100 points is required per transaction.]

Lin Yun’s expression froze.

A hundred points?

For every transaction?

She closed her eyes again.

The system really knew how to make people happy and then immediately take that happiness away.

After thinking about all the information she had just received, Lin Yun finally gave up on asking any more questions.

She leaned back in her chair and muttered helplessly:

"Let’s talk again next time."
