Chapter 222: Random Scorecard

After she chose to claim gold coins for the three completed tasks, she received an additional 15 gold coins, but her task points did not increase at all!

Lin Yun was on the verge of tears. She could only scroll down through the daily tasks. She had to find some she could complete and earn some points first. Fortunately, she did find a few.

[Daily Task: Collect and submit Flame Mushrooms (0/10).]

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

[Daily Task: Collect and submit 0.5 jin of meaty chestnuts.]

Task Reward: 10 gold coins / 20 points

...

Lin Yun scrolled down and found many daily tasks related to gathering. It seemed that when she had free time, she should venture into the forest more often to complete gathering tasks. Some gathering tasks rewarded many points and coins.

After closing the mission center, she switched to the points mall, bought the racial perfume, and did not look carefully at the other items. There were three new ones: a random item card worth 30 points, a random item worth 50 points, and a random points card worth 100 points. Out of curiosity, Lin Yun took a closer look at the random points card.

[Random Points Card: Similar to a scratch card, it awards a random number of points upon use, with a minimum of 50 points and no upper limit.]

"...System, you guys really know how to make money. You’ve even come up with this."

[Haha, this was done by the main system! It has nothing to do with me! Besides, it’s just to add a little fun to everyone’s boring lives~~]

"Are you sure you’re not just making things more annoying?" Lin Yun pouted, but having once been addicted to scratch-off lottery tickets, she was a little tempted.

The system noticed and quickly said, [Ahem! My dear host~ Would you like to give it a try? I think you’re incredibly lucky today! You’re sure to hit gold!]

The main system stipulated that half of the points earned from the sale of random points cards would be credited to the system’s account, so it really wanted Lin Yun to try. Its host had finally opened the random points card slot!

"Hmph, you’re definitely up to something."

[How could that be! The random points system is fair, just, and transparent! I’d be a dog if I were lying to you!]

"Get lost. I’m not buying!"

Lin Yun tapped the screen a few times and bought two random items to see what was inside. She took the two blind boxes from her mailbox. They were similar to the reward boxes the system had given her when she first entered the survival world. When she opened them, two items appeared on the table. On one side were several arrows, and on the other side was a small net.

[Tracking Arrow: Once locked onto a target, the arrow will track it for 5 minutes until it hits. (Note: Upon hitting the target, the arrow’s tail will emit red smoke to indicate its location.)]

After reading the detailed information about the tracking arrow, Lin Yun’s eyes lit up. Good stuff! It could even be attached directly to her Crimson Feather Crossbow. That was great! She counted them. There were 10 arrows in total. It was not many, but it was not bad either.

[Star Dream Net: Doesn’t the Star Dream Net look beautiful and dreamy? But it’s actually a net that can change size! After selecting a target, throw out the Star Dream Net. It will grow larger to cover the target, then automatically retract and slowly shrink, with the target shrinking along with it.]

"!" Another good thing.

"Damn it, system! These items are really good. I suddenly want to buy a few more."

[...I advise you to calm down. If you get a bad item, you’ll yell at me again.]

Lin Yun’s lips twitched. "When you were trying to persuade me to buy the random points card, you weren’t like this."

The system suddenly went silent.

Lin Yun snorted coldly. This system was definitely rigged!

"Okay, tell me why you were trying to persuade me to buy a points card, and I’ll buy one."

[Because half of the 100 points you spend goes into my pocket.]

The system answered without hesitation. Any hesitation would have been disrespectful to those 50 points.

Lin Yun fell silent. "I knew it! You weren’t being kind!"

[I don’t care. I’ve already told you, so hurry up and buy one!]

"Fine, I’ll buy it. You just said I’m incredibly lucky today. If I only get 50 points, I’ll curse you out!"

Lin Yun bought another random points card, and the card fell right in front of her.

"?"

[This is what the random points card looks like! Use it now!]

Honestly, even the system was getting excited, hoping that Lin Yun would get a few hundred more points so that it could try to persuade her again!

Lin Yun did not say anything more. She picked up the random points card and used it.

[System Notification: Congratulations to survivor Lin Yun for gaining 500 random points!]

Lin Yun: "!!!"

[!!!]

The system was shocked. It had not expected Lin Yun to actually pull several hundred points!

"System, I take back what I said about cursing you, hahaha." Lin Yun was satisfied and could not stop smiling.

[Dear host! Buy one more! Buy one more! Earn a little more! My little cape is still a little short!]

"Next time. Definitely next time."

Lin Yun laughed it off and brushed it aside.

[Waaaah, my dear host...]

It was a little past 7:50 in the evening when Lin Yun turned off the lights in the house. She planned to wait until eight o’clock to see whether any monsters appeared in her vicinity before testing the Star Dream Net and the Tracking Arrows. She had already attached the tracking arrows to the Crimson Feather Crossbow, and she opened the window a crack and stood guard there.

She and the Ghost Vine had agreed that it would turn on a flashlight on the second floor to attract the monster, while she kept watch on the first floor.

At 8 o’clock sharp, the alarm on her personal panel went off once, and she turned it off. The Ghost Vine also turned on the flashlight by the upstairs window for a moment, then immediately turned it off.

A monster rushed in from nowhere, but since the light was on the second floor, it could only wander around on the ground. Lin Yun seized the opportunity and threw the Star Dream Net out through the window. The Star Dream Net emitted twinkling lights in the darkness, and after growing larger, it trapped the monster.

The monster sensed something was wrong and immediately tried to escape, but the Star Dream Net was shrinking little by little, and it found it difficult to break free.

Just then, another monster suddenly appeared, its sharp claws reaching out to grab the Star Dream Net and leaving some cracks in the net.

"Damn! There’s another one!"

The second monster was a bit smarter than the first. It even managed to tear open the Star Dream Net and run away with the first monster.

Lin Yun swiftly raised her hand and fired a tracking arrow. After being torn apart, the Star Dream Net lost its target and could only shrink back to its original size, returning to Lin Yun’s hands.

Lin Yun’s expression turned somewhat grim. The monsters were running too fast, and she did not know whether her tracking arrows could catch up with them.
