"Little A, keep an eye on things. Buy some resource boxes at good prices. Once the prices rise sharply, you won't need to buy them anymore. Oh, and if there are any selling yellow gems, buy some too."
Shen Muyu also had some food left in his backpack. Having just experienced the previous world, this stuff was very valuable and should be able to be exchanged for quite a bit.
"Understood, Master." Upon receiving the instruction, Little A immediately dispatched a data stream to the World Mall to make purchases.
"Look at Little A, and then look at you! Let's go, I'll get you some superpowers." Shen Muyu said fiercely, rubbing the big white dog that was sticking to him.
The man and the dog arrived in the dimensional space. Looking at the big white dog's clear yet foolish eyes, Shen Muyu found it hard to bring himself to hurt it.
However, in order to give Da Bai the ability to protect itself, Shen Muyu still closed her eyes and inserted the needle.
Perhaps knowing that Shen Muyu wouldn't harm it, Da Bai obediently stood in place, sticking out its tongue repeatedly. After the needle was removed, it immediately turned around and licked Shen Muyu.
"How are you, Da Bai? Are you feeling unwell?" Shen Muyu gently stroked Da Bai's head with a touch of heartache. To be honest, Da Bai was her emotional support in this game world. If she had always been alone, she would probably have been overwhelmed by loneliness long ago.
"Woof woof woof!" Big White circled around Shen Muyu with bright, sparkling eyes, showing no sign of distress.
However, the next second, the giant white thing suddenly swelled up, and Shen Muyu, who was not paying attention, was knocked down and fell to the ground.
Big White probably realized he had done something wrong and quickly ran to the side.
The growth process stopped after it grew to be about the same size as Shen Muyu's car.
Big White was curious about its own changes, so it tilted its head and started chasing its own body, spinning around in circles.
Shen Muyu patted the weeds and dirt off his hands and walked over to Da Bai.
"Now it's really a giant!" Shen Muyu sighed, stroking the giant's body. It could probably carry Shen Muyu on its back.
After playing enough, Da Bai lay down, its little head looking at Shen Muyu as she nudged it little by little, as if gesturing for her to sit on it.
Shen Muyu didn't stand on ceremony. She took a few steps back and ran towards Da Bai, leaping onto it.
"Mmm, so comfortable." Shen Muyu hugged Da Bai's back and rubbed against it incessantly. The fur was so smooth and soft, it felt amazing!
Big White bobbed a few times to signal Shen Muyu to sit down; it was about to stand up.
Shen Muyu immediately sat up, clamping her legs tightly together, and grabbed two tufts of Big White's fur, hoping that Big White wouldn't get hurt. She had forgotten to tie a rope this time, but she would definitely do it next time.
Big White moved nimbly and quickly around the space, moving at great speed, but with excellent stability. Shen Muyu barely felt any bumps.
But just as she was about to let go and experience the joy of flying freely, Big White started doing something different, leaping onto the roof of the cabin.
"Ah!" Shen Muyu screamed loudly, grabbing the two tufts of hair tightly. She was about to fall!
Da Bai thought Shen Muyu was excited, so he immediately started showing off, going up and down on the ground.
Shen Muyu was in a terrible predicament, clinging tightly to its fur, afraid to let go, lest she be thrown off at any moment and die young.
"Ah! Big White! Glug glug glug, stop! Glug, get down!" Big White was too fast. Every time Shen Muyu opened his mouth, the wind would fill it, and he couldn't even speak coherently. Finally, Big White had enough fun and stopped on the grass.
Shen Muyu immediately turned around and rolled off, lying on the grass, not wanting to move at all.
Big White slowly returned to its original size and ran to Shen Muyu's side, licking and jumping around.
After staring at the sky for a while with a look of utter despair, Shen Muyu slowly sat up, grabbed Da Bai and began to rub it vigorously to avenge what had just happened.
"Big White, can you go back to how you were just now?" Shen Muyu asked, standing up and patting the dirt off his back after he had finished kneading him.
After thinking for a moment, Big White returned to its previous form, this time changing much faster.
"Here, let Big White try it." Shen Muyu took out a piece of wood, which Big White easily bit into powder. Perhaps it didn't taste right, because it started spitting out wood chips.
"Big White, try this." Another piece of iron was bumped into, and Big White still hadn't learned its lesson. It excitedly tried to bite through it, but of course, it still spat it out with a look of disgust.
Shen Muyu looked at its current size and threw another bulletproof steel plate over, which it easily took down again.
At this moment, Da Bai's eyes were full of accusation as he looked at Shen Muyu.
"Change back to normal, Big White." Shen Muyu waved his hand and took out a large dried fish. Upon seeing this, Big White immediately returned to normal and took a bite.
After chewing happily, Big White rolled over and revealed its belly.
"It looks like a physical enhancement." After several experiments, Shen Muyu came to a general conclusion, rubbed Da Bai's belly a couple of times, and returned to the car.
"Zhan Yi, Xiao A, if anything happens while I'm not in the car, you can work together to resolve it first, but of course you must notify me first."
Shen Muyu sat in the driver's seat and said that she planned to stay in the cabin at night from now on. With Zhan Yi and Xiao A there, there wouldn't be any problems for the time being, and she should enjoy herself.
Upon opening the shop, Shen Muyu discovered that Da Bai had already acquired over two thousand wooden resource boxes and several hundred bronze boxes, but only two yellow gems. It seemed that yellow gems weren't just unavailable in their area.
Furthermore, since the backpack cannot be used to enhance it, Shen Muyu estimated that this thing was already out of production.
After taking out all the gems, Shen Muyu picked out the yellow ones, leaving only twenty-four.
Planting one crop of rice or wheat requires about four yellow gems, which is enough for about eight plantings.
Other crops consume fewer gems, but not by much. The key is that, apart from potatoes, these crops don't produce as many as grains, and Shen Muyu didn't want to waste any more.
"Then let's leave 20 coins for staple food, and plant some vegetables first. As for the short-maturing ones, let's plant them in the dimensional space." Shen Muyu muttered to himself as he found a wooden resource box and put all the yellow gems inside, intending to put it in the craft room of the wooden house.
Just as I was about to get up, Xiao A's words suddenly came over.
"Master, an unidentified creature has appeared nearby."
"Oh?" Shen Muyu looked around but saw nothing. Then, remembering his special ability, he closed his eyes and released it.
"Seems alright?" Not long after his consciousness extended out, Shen Muyu saw the so-called zombies on a small hill.
In a small pavilion halfway up the mountain, six shriveled corpses carrying backpacks were crammed inside.
Shen Muyu zoomed in for a closer look. Perhaps because it was too hot, these zombies looked more like mummies. Apart from two faces that had been eaten away, they still looked quite intact. They were huddled together, aimlessly stomping their feet in the shade.
Shen Muyu saw one of the zombies sniffle and thought to himself, "This is bad." Sure enough, the next second the zombie seemed to go crazy and rushed out of the pavilion, jumping straight down from the mountainside.
The pavilion was just ahead of the car, and we had just driven up to it. If Xiao A hadn't accelerated suddenly, the zombie would probably have fallen right onto the car.
Shen Muyu "saw" the other five zombies jump down as well, relentlessly chasing after Shen Muyu's car.
