Chapter 209: Fairy Tale Forest

Dong Nian: "That makes a lot of sense. Do you have any leads?"

Baili Sheng: "I’m clueless, and I don’t even dare to move now. [Image of a tavern.jpg]"

Bai Xiaoxiao: "What a pitiful guy. So how did they catch you?"

Baili Sheng: "I don’t know. I was thrown into the toilet of the tavern, and I was almost scared to death. I hurriedly used the racial perfume to avoid being discovered, but they still dragged me out to drink."

Baili Sheng: "I’m very flustered right now."

At the top of the special channel, the current number of users was displayed: 500. It seemed that the survivors were all still alive and well, and that no problems had come up.

After browsing the special channel and confirming that there was no useful information, Lin Yun left the chat area and checked the mission center to see what missions were available in this special world.

[Daily Task: Please help Miss Rabbit get home.]

Task Reward: 5 gold coins / 10 points (choose one)

[Daily Task: Please help Miss Rabbit find her lost hat.]

Task Reward: 5 gold coins / 10 points

[Daily Task: Collect purple mushrooms in the Fairy Tale Forest (0/20).]

Task Reward: 10 gold coins / 20 points

...

"These tasks seem pretty easy."

That said, Lin Yun did not accept any mission right away. "But this time, do I need to bind the mission to a shelter?"

[No need. The rules state that you must find a place to build your own house, and it will be linked to a shelter automatically. Before that, you will need to find your own accommodation.]

"Here’s the question: won’t the natives find it strange if I build a house in an area with a large native population? After all, the houses aren’t always occupied by the same people."

Lin Yun also remembered that the rules said every house in this world had an owner. From the natives’ perspective, those who had sprayed racial perfume were different.

[The rules will fix these bugs, so don’t worry about the details. You just need to build a house.]

"There shouldn’t be any regulations on what kind of building it should be, right?"

Her shelter was the Ghost Vine, so building a house would be a piece of cake.

[It’s up to you. That’s just what’s on the surface, and unforeseen circumstances might arise later. Since you’ll be living inside, I suggest you keep it public.]

Lin Yun understood the system’s meaning and already had an idea in mind.

[Ding~ Your personal panel has been updated~ Please check it.]

It was being updated at a time like this?

Lin Yun exited the mission center and took a closer look. A new square had appeared on the desktop of the personal panel, labeled "Map". She needed to check her current location.

The map showed that the forest she was in was the Fairy Tale Forest. The closest towns to it were Fairy Tale Town and Race Town. The road she had just taken led to a fork. The left path led to Fairy Tale Town, and the right path led to Race Town. She was still fairly close to the fork.

The Fairy Tale Forest was vast, and within it lived settlements of different races, large and small. The routes were marked on the map. The most eye-catching feature, however, was the large cross-shaped route in the middle of the forest, with a roundabout-like circle at its center. The cross branched into several paths, each leading to a different part of the forest.

Lin Yun was not sure how big the Fairy Tale Forest was, so naturally she did not know whether that circle was a tribe or a town.

Remembering the Monster City she had seen on the special channel, she scrolled through the map again. To the north of the Fairy Tale Forest was Monster City. It was quite large, almost half the size of the forest. The forest was bordered by the sea to the west and south, and there were islands of varying sizes in the sea that seemed to be inhabited by natives. In addition, there were some towns around Fairy Tale Town and Race Town.

After looking at the map, Lin Yun pondered whether she should build her house closer to Monster City or closer to the two towns.

[Just stay near the roundabout. That way you won’t have to worry, since it’s the same on both sides. And you have Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan with you for transportation. What’s there to be afraid of?]

That made sense. The system was right.

Now that this problem was solved, then...

"System, it’s time to settle the score. What exactly is the meaning behind the monster in this fairy tale?"

Lin Yun gritted her teeth. The cards she had seen at the transfer station only said "Fairy Tale World," right? How come there were two more words on them now?

[...Um, well, you’ll see when the time comes!]

The system hesitated and did not give a definite answer.

Lin Yun snorted but did not press the system further. After all, this was a special world, quite different from ordinary worlds plagued by natural disasters.

After checking the changes on her personal panel, she got up, patted her bottom, and decided it was time to find a place to stay.

The Ghost Vine had been in her pocket the whole time, and as soon as they had landed in the forest, it had climbed onto her head. It was a pity that she did not know her current identity. She was really afraid that the random NPC she had become today was someone who actually existed in this world. What if she ran into the person in question? Wouldn’t that be the end of her?

"Ugh, what a terrible day."

Lin Yun sighed. "Oh, right, system, release my two little ones. I forgot to add them to the contract list when we were at the transfer station."

[Hold on.]

The system performed a few operations and threw out Sang Biao and Tuan Tuan. The two little ones fell to the ground and rolled twice.

"???"

"Damn system, how dare you treat my babies like that! Die!"

The system remained silent and did not dare to utter a sound. There was nothing it could do. The main system was set up this way!

I’ll slip away first.

Sang Biao shook out his fur and looked around. "Wow! A forest!"

Tuan Tuan was also quite excited. It had not been in this kind of environment for a long time.

"Be careful when you two wander around in the forest. I’m not very familiar with the area yet, so don’t go too far."

The two little ones responded and excitedly darted into the forest.

Just as Lin Yun lifted her foot to continue walking, she suddenly heard a faint sound in her ear.

"Help... help me..."

The two little ones, who had darted into the forest and not gone far, ran back and stayed close to Lin Yun’s side.

"Youyou, do you want to go and take a look?"

Sang Biao raised his cat head and looked at Lin Yun, waiting for her decision.

After thinking about it, Lin Yun decided to go and take a look. She still had three Ghost Vines with her, so she was not afraid.

"Let’s go and see."

The two little ones led the way. They had good hearing, and soon they led Lin Yun to the rabbit that had fallen into a ditch...?
