I Live on the Land in Global Games

Chapter 45 - 45 44 Shi Yin Figurines45: Chapter 44: Shi Yin Figurines 45: Chapter 44: Shi Yin Figurines In the depth of the night, Mu Ying was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard an unusual noise coming from the window.

She instantly woke up, squinting her eyes in concentration as she listened for a moment—it sounded like the tapping of pebbles against the window?

She got up and pushed open the window; the rain was still falling, and the campsite was shrouded in darkness.

Mu Ying cast a Light Brightness Spell.

Her eyes had just adjusted to the bright light when she suddenly saw a small, silver-white object fall from the trees outside the house and land with a smack on the windowsill.

Mu Ying frowned and took several steps back, as a Spear immediately appeared in her hand.

The small object on the windowsill slowly got up.

“!”

What did she see?

A tiny person, an inch tall, was rubbing their bottom, looking at her pitifully with silvery-gray, tear-moistened eyes that seemed on the verge of crying.

They were soaking wet, with strands of silver short hair sticking to their cheeks and dripping water, their animal ears drooped, and their tail fur was a mess with a few small burrs stuck to it.

Their clothes were dirty, with green grass stains and brown dirt mixed together, looking just like a little beggar.

Although the size was very odd, like a figurine, Mu Ying still recognized them at a glance and was greatly shocked.

It was Shi Yin!

“How did you get so small?

And why is your tail out?”

Mu Ying had a belly full of questions, but seeing his ragged appearance, she guessed that he must have been caught in the rain for quite a while.

She didn’t wait for his answer and quickly lifted him into the house.

Gently, she removed the burrs entangled on his tail, then cleaned his body with a Cleaning Technique, used damage resistance to warm him up, and finally wrapped him in a blanket, drying his body.

The figurine-like Shi Yin was stiff with his body, not daring to move an inch, his skin turning red at a rapid pace as he looked at Mu Ying with shining eyes.

A young man far away in the depths of space seemed to feel something too, his uncontrollable ears popping out and his face also turned red.

“Why are you so red?

You’re not running a fever, are you?” Mu Ying was very concerned as she touched his forehead; it was indeed a bit hot!

It was only then that the figurine-like Shi Yin came to his senses, pursed his lips, shook his head, and even struggled to free his arm from the blanket, patting her fingers to reassure her.

Then, out of nowhere, he pulled out a small blackboard and started drawing something on it.

He first drew a circle, colored it blue, green, and white, resembling a planet.

Outside the planet, there was a yellow circle with several eyes.

A silver puppy crashed into the circle, then, crying, plucked a few hairs, rolled them into a ball and threw them into the circle, becoming a tiny puppy.

It was completely childlike scribbling.

Had she and Shi Yin not grown up together with a great rapport, she might not have understood.

“Are you saying this is a wolf fur avatar of yours?”

The figurine-like Shi Yin nodded, pointed to his chest, and pouted, as pulling the fur from his chest must have been painful!

“Deep Blue Star is protected by something, so your true body can’t return?

You can only appear in the form of this little figurine?

Deep Blue Star is also attracting a lot of attention?”

The figurine-like Shi Yin nodded and gave a thumbs up.

“Did your inheritance go well?” Mu Ying looked at the tiny Shi Yin, finding him incredibly cute.

The figurine-like Shi Yin patted his chest and then gestured at a long distance.

“No problem with the inheritance, but there’s still a long way to go?

Does the avatar have to go back to follow you?”

The figurine-like Shi Yin shook his head, his eyes sparkling with silver light, transforming into several strands of silver-white wolf fur, flying to Mu Ying’s left hand and winding around her ring finger.

It looked just like a silver thread ring.

The silver thread twinkled and fused into her finger, leaving only a shallow silver trace.

[Shi Yin’s****]

[Effect 2: Shared.

[*********]

[Note: The sole treasure of the Time-Space Wolfman, a rare species in the universe, has been *** bound, not transferable, *******]

The Player Manual reflected item information that was quite strange; there were even some words that were unclear, and it was unknown what they were exactly.

Let’s call it a ring for now!

Although the ring’s effects weren’t as magical as the Natural Bracelet, there were no abilities like Shi Yin’s for speaking and writing, and the ears and tail couldn’t be retracted—the only purpose was to help her understand the situation with Shi Yin.

The second effect, Shared, did give her an extra card up her sleeve, but it couldn’t be used frequently because each use placed a great burden on Shi Yin; it could only be considered a last resort for survival.

In summary, this avatar was almost like a small trinket.

But it was good that Shi Yin couldn’t return given that Deep Blue Star wasn’t as safe as before.

The Time-Space Wolfmen were supposed to traverse planes to grow, and the starry sky was their true trial ground.

“Work hard, we are still too weak,” Mu Ying pinched the ears of the wolf figurine Shi Yin, “Hmm, it feels almost the same as the real thing, just smaller.”

The embarrassed figurine Shi Yin transformed into a ring, the silver of the band blushing ever so slightly while the boy deep in the starry sky quietly covered his ears.

The next day, the last batch of zombies outside the camp was killed, and Mu Ying set out early to probe the area.

With the help of Forest Traversing and Traceless Step, she easily avoided the few zombies wandering in the forest and arrived at the mountain on the outer edge of Forest Park.

“Asparagus, a perennial evergreen herb, with strong life force and resistance to trampling.

Its inflorescences are blue or purple with varying depth, and the flowers emit a glow at night matching their shades.

After the flowers fall, they form small spherical berries that are sweet and edible.

The tuberous roots can be dried and ground into a powder for application on wounds for a slight hemostatic effect...”

The characteristics of Asparagus were laid bare under the spell Identify Plants.

The more Mu Ying observed, the more delighted she became—flowers that glowed, berries that were edible, tuberous roots with medicinal value, and most importantly, their trample-resistant and easy-to-cultivate nature.

All the traits of the Asparagus had mutated in positive ways.

When used on Asparagus, the Feedback Claw could select among flowers, berries, tuberous roots, and seeds.

Mu Ying first plucked a bunch of berries to try.

The blue-purple little fruits were as plump as little grapes, somewhat resembling blueberries, but they were sweeter than blueberries.

Underneath the skin was a bundle of sweet juice.

Sweet but not cloying, she fell in love with the flavor instantly.

She would definitely come to pick some once the Asparagus bore fruit.

Next, Mu Ying used the Feedback Claw to its fullest by choosing only seeds.

She wanted to take advantage of the rain still falling to plant Asparagus all over the camp.

She had cleared the camp: shrubs and weeds were gone, and the ground looked somewhat monotonous.

These trample-resistant and evergreen Asparagus were perfect to plant across the campsite.

They could also leverage the current rainfall to grow quickly.

Her hand swept over the Asparagus spikes, and the seeds that the Feedback Claw extracted were quietly placed into the Storage Pouch.

Even if someone was watching, they would only wonder why she kept touching the flowers.

After gathering a large pouch of seeds, Mu Ying stopped and returned to the camp.

While sensing trees and tending to the small vegetable patch, she casually scattered the seeds.

Even if they were stepped on, it wouldn’t affect their ability to root and sprout.
