Unlike the snide remarks from the group members, My Fate is Determined By Me, Not The Heavens was in a pretty good mood.

He had always been very wary of “I Love Survival Game”—or rather, he was wary of any “variables” he didn’t understand.

Now, the profession in “I Love Survival Game” has finally been revealed: the Cultivation Class. 

Haha. 

“I Love Survival Game” must have attained some special power that allows him to expand vast tracts of land and cultivate magical plants.

If that’s the case, it makes sense why he took first place on the Shelter Rankings. Perhaps he’ll soon make the Wealth Rankings as well.

But that’s about it.

What’s there to fear from a class that leans toward lifestyle and support roles and has little combat power? 

Besides him, quite a few others share this view. The “Eternal Elegance” guild was also discussing Qiyu.

【Reaching for the Moon in the Heavens: Cultivating magical plants—that’s truly a remarkable ability.】 

【Traveler in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan: Sis, I’ll try again to recruit him.】

Even top-tier players like them are stunned by the money-making power of “I Love Survival Game.”

Over 20,000 copies of “Screaming Lily of the Valley” were put up for sale at once, fetching over 400,000 Wood.

Anyone who’s bought the price list from the Civil Engineering Brother knows that it’s worth over 40,000 emerald crystals. 

He sold “Bright Sunflowers” before, and other plants may follow.

Talent like this—if we could bring them on board…

【Reaching for the Moon in the Heavens: Looking at it this way,  Civil Engineering Brother has known “I Love Survival Game” for a long time and has already started collaborating with them.】

【Reaching for the Moon in the Heavens: I didn’t even add him as a friend—turns out he’d already latched onto someone else’s coattails long ago.】

【Traveler in the Misty Rain of Jiangnan: Two non-combat classes—what’s the point of teaming up?】

Tonight seems a bit livelier than usual.

Waiting for his good friend to feed him was agonizing, so Qiyu decided to just curl up with *The Magical Plant Encyclopedia* and read at his own pace.

Before he’d even turned two pages, a shrill ring accompanied by screams abruptly yanked him out of his reverie.

“Ah—”

Qiyu：“……”

He pursed his lips, set the *magical plant encyclopedia* back on the table, and walked out the door. 

It was a wolf. 

It looked very familiar—he’d seen it during the Survival Trial.

【Wild Giant Wolf: Level 2 Mutant Creature. Abilities: Sharp Teeth, Claw Blades.】

Qiyu looked at the giant wooden meditation staff in the center.

That’s right—in the “Wild Giant Wolf” level, he got the brass chest as a system reward.

He got the Heart of the Great Tree Staff from it. “Wild Giant Wolf”—what a great wolf. 

The screaming lily of the valley was still shrieking, and it even seemed to be on the verge of turning into a blood-curdling scream. 

Qiyu rubbed his ears and noticed that the area where this pack of wild giant wolves had appeared happened to lie just outside the attack range of the two Towers. Since the basic fences had been upgraded and were now more durable, the wild giant wolves were effectively blocked outside.

Under the mental assault of the screaming lily of the valley, Qiyu had completely lost any desire to train at this moment. 

He raised his staff, and a barrage of Fireballs exploded, raining down on the wolf pack.

A sea of crimson numbers appeared above the wolf pack, interspersed with a flash of white light.

Without a moment’s respite, a swarm of blue wind blades followed the Fireballs. Those that hadn’t yet turned into white light were met by the Giant Wooden Staff descending from the sky.

In terms of magical damage, Qiyu felt that Fireball was still the more effective spell.

But compared to the Giant Wooden Staff, with its attack bonus as high as 15, the Fireball spell’s destructive power was still slightly inferior.

The screams finally ceased.

Qiyu looked expectantly at the white light scattered across the ground, hoping the wild giant wolves would be as generous as they had been during the Survival Trial. Unfortunately, the Survival Trial seemed to be the one time so far in the survival game that the game had been generous to players. 

From a dozen or so second-tier wild giant wolves and the white light on the ground, he obtained a fine iron chest, 5 Quantity Orbs, and 5 emerald crystals. Qiyu picked them up, hesitated for a moment as he passed by the screaming lily of the valley, then walked on.

By the time he returned to the log cabin, the screaming lily of the valley had already withered.

The drooping branches were bare, with only a single small pinkish-white flower hanging there all alone. 

“Civil Engineering Brother is right,” Qiyu thought. “Just one flower is more than enough.”

With dozens of extra flowers in his backpack, he couldn’t be bothered to list them on the trading board. Instead, he opened his friends list, intending to send them to God Has No Form.

The other person’s message arrived just a split second before his.

【God Has No Form: This screaming lily of the valley is indeed quite unique, huh.】 

【God Has No Form: Do you have any more? Any more? Any more?】

【Your friend, I Love Survival Game, has sent you a gift.】

It was as if every wish was granted.

Dan Xingyu silently resolved: If Big Brother doesn’t want to hear it, then he won’t. But! In Dan Xingyu’s heart, “I Love Survival Game” was his cyber godfather. Even his own father was never this good to him.】

【I Love Survival Game: Don’t you find it annoying?】

【God Has No Form: As long as I kill fast enough, they won’t bother me.】

【Your friend God Has No Form God Has No Form has proposed a deal to you.】

Resting on a deep wooden plate, accompanied by a round fried egg, the bright green baby bok choy was arranged neatly. Qiyu held his chopsticks but didn’t take a single bite.

He seemed to sense a delicate thoughtfulness in the presentation.

【I Love Survival Game: Today’s meal looks really beautiful.】

It was a simple, unpretentious compliment. Dan Xingyu smiled instantly.

【God Has No Form: Looks good, doesn’t it? I found a player with a lifestyle profession and traded for a set of wooden tableware.】

【God Has No Form: You once told me that no matter what the circumstances, we should always eat well and live well.】

【God Has No Form: I always take good care of myself.】 

Qiyu looked at these few lines and nodded in agreement. He was taking good care of himself now, too. 

The pork chop was beautifully pan-seared, and the flavor was even better.

He didn’t know what kind of mutant creature it was, but the meat was incredibly springy, tender, and smooth—even after finishing the last bite, Qiyu still felt a bit reluctant to let it go.

He wanted more.

【Your friend “I Love Survival Game” has proposed a trade to you.】

So much baby bok choy.

【God Has No Form：？？？】

【God Has No Form: Can’t you just live a normal life?】

Qiyu didn’t understand that line. 

【I Love Survival Game: The pork chops are delicious. Do you have some more?】

God Has No Form liked vegetables, but he felt he still preferred meat at the moment.

Dan Xingyu understood what he meant.

【God Has No Form: Is meat in short supply over there?】

He was already planning that if Qiyu’s side was really short on meat, he’d cook more in the future and get some jerky for himself. 

【I Love Survival Game: I’m not short on meat—if I hadn’t switched to a new backpack, my meat would’ve gone bad.】

He had originally wanted to ask God Has No Form to help him turn the game meat into jerky, but after switching to a high-level storage backpack, he realized it would last a long time anyway, so he just left it as is.

【God Has No Form: If you like it, I’ll make more tomorrow—I’m out for today.】

Dan Xingyu reluctantly turned down the offer.

【God Has No Form: I’ll make a bigger batch tomorrow. Don’t just go making deals like this on a whim.】

【God Has No Form: I’m afraid I can’t handle the temptation.】

【God Has No Form: Sooner or later, I’ll get the urge to slaughter that dog-owning tycoon.】

Qiyu could tell he was joking. He smiled and replied seriously:

【I Love Survival Game: You like it, so no need to fight over it—I’ll give it to you.】

What a terrifying sugar-coated bullet! 

【God Has No Form: A monster’s coming my way—I’ll chat with you later!】

Qiyu opened the trading section.

Screaming Lily of the valley had just sold out at 10,000 copies. 

【Confirm Transaction?】

Select “Withdraw.”

【Received 396 emerald crystals, 196,040 wood.】

Fortunately, his advanced storage backpack had plenty of space, but even so, the wood took up nearly half of it. Just as he finished withdrawing the items, the trading board showed that over a dozen more had been sold.

Qiyu didn’t rush to withdraw them. He opened the zone chat channel for Server 01 to check the feedback:

【Cockroach Taste Is So Weird: I bought a screaming lily of the valley, and no one told me—this little thing is so loud!】

【Strawberry Kiss: @Cockroach Bro, you’re always spamming the channel—I trust you. Are you warning people about this?】

【Cockroach Taste Is So Weird: No, don’t get me wrong. The screaming lily of the valley is really useful—I recommend that anyone who can afford it should definitely buy one. It just alerted me nearly two minutes in advance that a mutated creature was invading. Two minutes—that’s more than enough time for me to get ready. 】

A lot of people who bought it have chimed in:

【Yue Dao: It’s definitely worth it. I was just making something to eat when it suddenly went off. By the time I was fully armed and ready, standing guard at the shelter entrance, the mutated creature had only just arrived.】

【Do a Good Job: Aside from the sound being a bit loud, I declare that the screaming lily of the valley has absolutely no flaws. But since it only costs 20 wood, that “flaw” isn’t really a flaw at all—that’s just part of our cute little Lily of the Valley’s charm!】

【Strawberry Kiss: I’m sold—I’m buying one right now.】

【Cockroach Taste Is So Weird: Have you guys noticed that there are more mutated creatures coming to the shelter tonight than yesterday?】

【Mamacita: I’ve been pretty lucky—I didn’t run into any the night before last, but I just came across a huge wolf.】

【Eat Some Blueberries: Wait, are you guys all just hyping this up? You really aren’t shills? How loud is this thing? As long as the mutated creatures are around, it just keeps screaming. It’s giving me a migraine.】

【Get Some French Fries: I think so too. Some of these must be shills hired by some big shot—the hype is way over the top. I bought one too, but I think it’s a waste of wood.】

【Be a Good Person: ?? Take a look at the trading board—see how many people bought it? We’re not stupid. Spending 20 wood on an alarm that keeps beeping actually serves as a reminder from another angle that the mutated creatures are still out there. Aren’t you satisfied yet?】

Qiyu joined the zone chat channel and happened to see the posts from “Eat Some Blueberries” and “Get Some French Fries.”

【I Love Survival Game: If you’re not satisfied with your purchase of a Mutant Plant within one hour, you can click “Trade Dispute” to file a complaint. I’ll look into it.】

【Cockroach Taste Is So Weird: Whoa! The game’s big shot has been exposed.】

【Be a Good Guy: @Eat Some Blueberries, @Get Some French Fries, here you go—if you’re not satisfied, you can get a refund.】

Qiyu waited a moment and checked the trade section. No trade complaints. 

Seeing this, Qiyu didn’t bother with it anymore.

He opened his backpack for his daily favorite loot review.

Today, he obtained a total of 1 Wooden Chest, 1 fine iron chest, and 1 brass chest. 

The wooden treasure chest, unusually, emitted a green glow.

【Obtained a bow and arrow blueprint.】

With magic for ranged attacks and the Heart of the Great Tree Staff for melee, this isn’t very useful for Qiyu. 

Opened the Fine Iron Chest:

【Obtained 1 Basic Water Well and 1 Emerald Crystal Peach Orchard resource point.】4

【Emerald Crystal Peach Orchard: Yields 100 emerald crystal peaches daily. Emerald crystal peaches, a specialty of the Star Forest, are delicious.】

Delicious.

Qiyu immediately chose to place this peach grove next to the Red Maple Forest.

Soon, his inventory was filled with 120 emerald crystal peaches. 

The water well has been activated; he can trade it to God Has No Form tomorrow. Next, he opened the brass chest.

Qiyu looked inside with anticipation, but there was only one item.

【Obtained 1 Star Market Admission Ticket.】

【Star Market Entry Ticket: A one-time-use item that grants access to the Star Market.】
