Chapter 13 Encountering the Chicken Coop Again
Nothing much to do tonight, so I practiced using my slingshot over a hundred times while staring at the health bar in the darkness.
The reason she was able to practice hundreds of times was that Yinghu, having eaten and drunk her fill, gradually got the hang of it, and all the pebbles she had flicked out rolled back.
Proficiency level increased by 1 today!
Before going to sleep, she was still thinking, "Since Yinghu has become so cooperative, his hatred should be gone, right?"
When she woke up the next day and opened her personal data panel, her lips twitched again.

Looks like I'll have to keep practicing with the slingshot today!
On the first day of the new day, Yu Qi casually sprinkled tomatoes, peanuts, and chili seeds on the ground.
After being watered with cool well water, all the seeds sprouted into seedlings.
The ripening time for all three crops is the same, seven hours, which is shorter than yesterday.
The remaining ones are lantern fruit and mutated sunflower. These two take a long time to mature, but hopefully they will be of greater use once they are ripe!
Then, she got on her electric tricycle.
The upgraded car has glass windows around it, making it look more sturdy. It's much better than the leaky plastic curtain in the corner yesterday. It's a bit like a mini electric car that costs fifty or sixty thousand yuan in the real world, but with only three wheels!
No worries, today's three-wheeled vehicle warrior is setting off again!
Wait, there seems to be another dead pheasant lying nearby!
Why are these pheasants hopping around in the pitch-black midnight instead of going back to their nests? Are they dying with their eyes wide open in disbelief?
She turned to the left and saw a pheasant lying in the sand with its eyes wide open. A large piece of its neck had been bitten off, and there were tiger claw marks on its chest.
It seems that although Brother Tiger holds a grudge, he still remembers his half-sister and managed to control his appetite!
I misunderstood Brother Tiger after all. I'll prepare more meat today, but I don't know if Brother Tiger will still be able to come along.
Yu Qi skillfully hung the pheasant on the shop, and it was sold in the blink of an eye.
Good heavens, who exactly comes to watch her chickens every single day?
Upon opening the buyer's information, it turned out to be a "Rampaging Lolita".
The "Rampage Boss" visited her shop eight times in two days, and each time he casually bought two chickens!
Goodness, she bought sixteen chickens and a packet of scallion oil chicken seasoning. Is she a true chicken-eating god?
Yu Qi, feeling both amused and exasperated, closed the trading shop and began her journey for the day.
Sure enough, after using up the lucky card, I encountered boxes less often.
In the entire morning, we only encountered two bronze chests and one log resource chest.
However, when she was looking for a place to have lunch, she suddenly spotted a familiar cave.
The health bars inside looked very familiar, except this time there were a full fifteen health bars!
Looking at the bronze disc hanging on his shoulder, Yu Qi was very suspicious that it was very likely that the Chicken Killer Badge had secretly helped him. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he had run into a chicken coop again?
Regardless, reality was still surprising; she skillfully found Lolita and bought another fifteen worms.
Lolita was very generous this time and even gave away five of them.
Lolita: "Hey boss, feel free to use this!"
Yu Qi thought that his generous tone meant he could take the money and spend it however he wanted.
She moved very quickly, soon picking up the bamboo tube and starting her plan.
Three minutes later, an insect fell from above the cave.
A pheasant peeked out and, upon seeing the blue worm, quickly pecked at it into the air.
A prepared nylon rope quickly wrapped around its neck and pulled it back.
Yu Qi felt that she was still quite kind-hearted, because she gave this pheasant a chance to be a full-fed dead chicken!
Before long, all fifteen pheasants were in place, and Yu Qi brandished his dagger, which could cut iron like mud.
All that could be seen was a blur of afterimages, and all the pheasants were dead.
This time, Yu Qi didn't hang the pheasants up directly. Instead, she put the fifteen chickens in a food processing plant and processed them simply, which gave her chicken feathers and fifteen plucked white-cut chickens.
Picking up the silver treasure chest that had fallen to the ground, she piled the contents of the chest together, took out the last self-heating hot pot from her spatial backpack, and was about to open it when a human carrying a large backpack suddenly appeared opposite her.
Human? Today is the third day of the newbie period, and parallel roads won't appear, so this person is a merchant, an NPC in the game?
The man in the gray clothes waved in their direction.
"Little girl, I smell fresh meat coming from you. If you're willing to give me all the chicken, I can give you a crystal coin."
A single crystal coin?
This is a trading currency I've never heard of before, but the person in front of me doesn't seem like the capsule merchant the system described!
Yu Qi was already on guard. She felt that the other party had ill intentions and might be up to no good!
Sure enough, the system's voice popped up again.
[System 2333: That cunning temporary supplier wants to buy fifteen pheasants for just one crystal coin? Dream on!]
[Walk another 500 meters and you'll reach the Monster Restaurant. Isn't exchanging this chicken for special-function dishes much better than your one crystal coin?]
Soon, the system seemed to realize something and then said arrogantly.
[Foolish humans, give up! I will never reveal any information!]
Okay, okay, we won't leak any information!
Yu Qi quickly packed up her mini hot pot and sped off on her electric scooter.
The man in gray was shocked to see a gust of wind blowing in his face.
Are even crystal coins no longer able to attract newcomers?
The first thing you see is a very popular restaurant, where monsters keep appearing out of nowhere and queuing up at the two main entrances on either side.
Even when Yu Qi appeared, the monsters that could walk upright didn't even glance at him; instead, they drooled in the direction of the kitchen.
"Hello, newcomers cannot enter the restaurant to spend money without crystal coins." A black cat in uniform at the door stretched out his hand with a serious expression.
Remembering what the system had said earlier, Yu Qi quickly smiled.
"I'm here to supply goods. I just slaughtered fifteen pheasants today."
As expected, the other party did not stop them anymore, and even kindly pointed out a direction.
"Please come upstairs to the second floor to talk to the boss."
