Special Store

Lin Ye pushed open the door and entered the Inheritance Space. The Inheritance Space remained unchanged, still the endless expanse of display cases. Lin Ye moved through the display cases and soon encountered a reasonably good task:

Eliminate 3 high-level Mutation Creatures and obtain their spiritual energy cores.

Inside the task display case was a black card made of unknown material. Lin Ye didn’t know what kind of card this was, but it was likely related to the system. Combined with the requirement to deal with high-level Mutation Creatures, this card was at least a high-tier item.

After selecting the inheritance task, the system teleported Lin Ye back to the Shelter. The white door on the wall had disappeared.

With the inheritance task accepted, Lin Ye opened the system interface and found the special store mentioned in the prompt information.

The special store contained only six items: Blueprint for Constructing a Special Spiritual Energy Core, Storage Box for incubating Falling Materials, artistic portrait, Relic Offspring, special high-level spiritual energy crystals, and random bounty package.

The first three items cost two bounties each, while the latter three cost one bounty each. All could be purchased repeatedly.

‘An artistic portrait and Relic Offspring? Who would buy Relic Offspring?’

Lin Ye didn’t make any purchases immediately, as he wasn’t yet clear about the value of Falling Materials.

‘I’ll decide after returning from the asylum.’

Lin Ye closed the system interface and began preparing breakfast for his pet and himself.

The Scapegoat wasn’t picky about food, so Lin Ye gave it some concentrated nutrient solution as well.

With breakfast ready, Lin Ye opened the Group Chat and Music Box, then began eating.

“Trash picking is so fun, I love trash picking. (Loot image)”

“That’s not trash picking, THIS is trash picking. (Loot image)”

“Indeed, you definitely didn’t get that giant bird in the red maze, did you? Personal special task? (Loot image)”

“Where’s Old Yu? Still not out yet? Everyone’s waiting for him to report on the outside situation.”

“Did he bite the dust?”

“Probably not, Old Yu is pretty reliable.”

“Just wait, aside from fixed-time events like the red maze, when has he ever not dragged things out until the last moment?”

“True, understandable.”

“Sigh, too tragic.”

“Tomorrow is the last day of the week, how is everyone’s preparation going?”

“Heh heh, I just reached third tier, collected a full set of spiritual energy equipment, stocked up on consumables, and even managed to grab a spiritual energy item made by Big Boss Lin. You profiteers better not think about fleecing me in these last two days! You guys screwed me over badly last weekend – that battlefield set you sold was all flashy but completely useless! Who would get an IV drip on the battlefield anyway!”

“True, I bought that set too. The items inside looked really practical, but were actually completely useless.”

“Sigh, I remember that compressed biscuit that almost choked me to death. You couldn’t even bite through it without using spiritual energy. Were those biscuits from the Qing Dynasty? Where did you dig them up from?”

*Ahem*, sorry about that, we were inexperienced last time and some products weren’t very practical. But it’s different this time! After extensive research by multiple experts and addressing previous issues, we solemnly present the Battlefield Set – Improved Edition! Only 19 red coins per set! Guaranteed to help purchasers pass battlefield missions! Money-back if ineffective! Friends in need can search for the Battlefield Set series in the trading area! Affordable and practical, absolutely no scams!”

“Money-back if ineffective? Tell me how you’re going to refund the money?”

“Screw you, you damn scammer!”

“This trick feels familiar… were you guys running educational institutions before coming here?”

“Eight hundred guaranteed pass, money-back if failed?”

“Damn! They never actually refund the money!”

“This trick feels familiar… were you guys running educational institutions before coming here?”

After finishing breakfast, Lin Ye closed the Group Chat and Music Box, hugged the Scapegoat, lay on the bed, and began his daily simulation.

[Please choose to start a new simulation task or enter a simulation base]

“Enter simulation base.”

[Please select the simulation base to enter]

“Asylum.”

[Can end simulation at any time]

When Lin Ye regained his senses, he was standing in an unfamiliar corridor with no one around.

Lin Ye carefully walked along the corridor for a while and soon encountered Ward 419.

Knock knock.

Lin Ye knocked on the door, and it automatically opened.

“Come in.”

Lin Ye entered the ward. The interior was similar to before, except there was now a bookshelf filled with books diagonally opposite the hospital bed.

The young girl was leaning against the pillow just like last time, as if she hadn’t moved at all. Lin Ye still couldn’t clearly see her face.

“You helped me out before. Do you need Rule Fragments? I can give you the ones I have.”

If the young girl hadn’t helped him, Lin Ye wasn’t sure how the previous massive brawl would have ended. Not being in the Dreamrealm, he wouldn’t have been able to obtain those two Rule Fragments anyway.

So if she needed them, he was willing to provide appropriate compensation.

“I don’t need Rule Fragments. You keep them. After all, you risked your life to get them, and you’ll still have to deal with those two troublesome ones later.”

The young girl took out a pineapple and a small knife and began peeling it.

“They’ve already come after me. Are those two Rule Fragments that important to them?”

Previously, as soon as Lin Ye left the Safe Zone, retaliation from the other side had arrived.

“Those two Rule Fragments aren’t important. What matters is that you chose their Rule Fragments. Your choice determined the direction of the deeper conflict. The price they paid far exceeds the value of those two Rule Fragments. Do you remember that blood moon? That was part of the other party’s body… but not anymore.”

The young girl hadn’t expected Lin Ye to achieve that level without his memories.

“…They’re not going to send people to mess with me every day, are they?”

Lin Ye wasn’t afraid of them sending people after him;
he just found it troublesome.

“Interfering with the system’s operation requires paying a price, and such interference cannot be performed consecutively. So you don’t need to worry about them for a while… What you need to worry about is the God’s Blood and that bomb in your chest.”

The young girl placed the pineapple on the cutting board, then reached out and touched the center of Lin Ye’s chest.

“The system has already helped me resolve the bomb issue, I have access to the Blueprint for Constructing a Special Spiritual Energy Core, and as for the God’s Blood, isn’t there the Risk Hedging Plan?”

Although risk hedging sounded unreliable, the young girl gave Lin Ye a very reliable feeling… at least much more reliable than Mia.

If Mia had been the one proposing the plan, Lin Ye would have chosen to return directly to the Shelter.

“That Gray World relic is extremely dangerous. The system will resolve its issues, but it won’t resolve the other problems caused by its existence. Do you understand what I mean?”

The young girl withdrew her finger and continued peeling the pineapple.

“Because the Gray World relic exists, the God’s Blood will produce some kind of stress response? What effect will this have on me? What should I do?”

Lin Ye understood what the young girl meant.

“This will cause you to undergo Red Sea Alienation. You’ve seen those fish-head monsters, right?”

The young girl said this very casually.
