Chapter 3: Hidden Benefits of the Novice World

This discovery immediately brought various audacious maneuvers to Qin Mu's mind. If these maneuvers could be realized one by one, it would essentially allow for a serenade of coolness to the beasts surrounding the shelter.

At this moment, he was squatting under a tree gathering mushrooms, while Tangyuan stood guard nearby. This was not particularly significant, but during the process of foraging for food, he made an unexpected discovery

... ...

Now Qin Mu no longer needs to worry about whether unfamiliar food might be poisonous, as he can have the glutinous rice balls tested one by one before eating them

The calm grassland experienced a slight rustle, and then two gray rabbits sprang out, crouching on the grass as they cautiously surveyed their surroundings before lowering their heads to begin feeding.

There is no need to rush these matters; let's indulge a little tonight.

At noon, the heat in the forest reached its peak. The beasts that inhabit and roam this area gathered by the pond, enjoying a moment of tranquility. At this time, they cast aside their identities as hunter and prey, merely a group of weary beings struggling for survival.

After glancing at the system prompt, Qin Mu buried himself in his work again. Having eaten wild fruits all day yesterday, he wanted to change his taste today

This time, Qin Mu planned to return to the location of the pond and collect some thicker branches and broad leaves along the way. The newly acquired skill [Web Silk] inspired Qin Mu with an idea

At this moment, Qin Mu was half-reclining in the swing basket he had made, with a soft pom-pom supporting the back of his head, biting into a wild fruit, and comfortably squinting his eyes.

Qin Mu discovered hidden benefits in the novice world. Although here, one can only acquire equipment skills by defeating creatures recognized by the system (this was determined by Qin Mu through 'experiments' on several forest bird-catching spiders and forest lizards), it is possible to obtain corresponding skills by meeting certain conditions

Throwing away the fruit pit, pulling out a tuft of fur from behind the head, "I should give you a name, hmm, seeing how fluffy you are, from now on I will call you Tangyuan!"

When it was 1 meter away from Qin Mu, it changed its movement and rolled to Qin Mu's feet, shaking off the dirt and leaves clinging to its body, and once again wrapped around Qin Mu's calf

Introduction: You may become a hunter

During this process, tasks such as climbing trees and gathering vines were naturally handled by the fluffy ball, as it appeared to be more skilled in this regard, certainly not because Qin Mu was unable to climb up

Stealth Basic LV1 (Passive Skill)

A magic missile was released, aimed at the gray rabbit, relying on the missile's 'locking' feature to ensure a perfect hit every time

First, take a nap, and then in the afternoon, let's go outside to find some wild fruits.

However, today's situation is somewhat different from usual. The small creatures drinking by the pond and reading the water occasionally look up towards the sky, where something they have never seen before has appeared.

At this point, Qin Mu glanced at Tang Yuan. Although Tang Yuan, with his back to Qin Mu, was unaware of what had transpired, he still inexplicably shivered.

First, a framework was secured using self-spun silk and sturdy branches. Then, vines, which were readily available on the trees, were suspended above the pond. Finally, the remaining branches and collected leaves were used to fill the gaps, reinforced a second time with silk. To facilitate entry, Qin Mu also wove a crooked rope ladder from the vines

The furball that was flung away crashed into a tree, but before hitting the ground, it firmly grasped the trunk, climbing down steadily, and then retracted its limbs, somehow controlling its body to bounce closer to Qin Mu

Qin Mu was almost overwhelmed by this enormous 'surprise', nearly fainting from the shock, and directly kicked the furball away.

An idea emerged in Qin Mu's mind; he planned to return and verify it with the book after finishing picking mushrooms

After several friendly interactions between the person and the beast, Qin Mu, drenched in sweat, was finally moved by the persistence of the furball. He allowed the furball to rest on his shoulder as they continued forward, contemplating whether to steam or braise when there was no food available.

This discovery made Qin Mu more proactive, planning to take all these [Black Corpse Mushrooms] with him. Just as he collected the tenth one, a prompt appeared before him again

Tangyuan: "Meow O ?"

This is a black mushroom discovered nearby by Tangyuan. Because it looks toxic, Qin Mu specifically used leaves to create a barrier while picking it, enduring the stench of decay. To her surprise, she found that this could be stored in her storage space.

Introduction: Mushrooms that grow on corpses; just eat one, and you can leave this wonderful world

... ...

Qin Mu crouched under the bushes, observing through the gaps in the branches and leaves, while Tang Yuan lay on his shoulder

Qin Mu stated that although he had not encountered any danger, he had previously experienced a significant jolt from the spatial disturbances and now needed to take it slow.

Price: 8 Space Coins

Ignoring the bewildered Tangyuan, Qin Mu continued to speak to himself: "Now that the housing issue has been resolved and the water supply is sufficient, as for the food problem..."

Introduction: Please be cautious, as the consequences of being discovered with the book could very likely result in being beaten to death with clubs

Number of contractors: 15

Since they had already explored this area yesterday, Qin Mu knew that there would be no predators around this time. They put away the materials and carried the remaining parts of the rabbit back, followed by a bouncy Tangyuan.

"It’s not that tiring, just a bit exhausting." At this moment, Qin Mu had only 5 points of mana left

However, they did not realize that there were always two pairs of eyes observing their every move from behind them

Qin Mu carefully placed the glutinous rice balls on the ground. The glutinous rice balls had a "protective color," so there was no need to worry about them being easily discovered. However, he had maintained this position for a while now and was indeed feeling a bit tired

Thus, a simple shelter came into being

Upon seeing the prompt, Qin Mu silently thought to himself: "As expected."
