Opening the boxes
Zhou Lin opened the system to see what the Mutant Apple and the seed were.
When he clicks to pick up, the apple appears in his hand.
The Mutant Apple's appearance was very different from a normal apple.
Its shape was triangular with light blue colors and green stripes. A slight sour smell can be felt.
"I just hope this doesn't taste bad…" Zhou Lin smelled the sour smell, but he just closed his eyes before taking the first bite.
crack... crack...
A large chunk of apple was bitten off.
When the fruit juice entered his mouth, a very strong taste was felt by him.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Zhou Lin had the urge to spit it out, but he held on and swallowed without leaving anything.
"This is very sour. It looks like very strong lemon juice mixed with a few pounds of salt. How can such a fruit exist in the world?" Zhou Lin had drunk lemon with salt before, but the taste wasn't as strong as the Mutant Apple.
The juice went down his throat and into his stomach, a hot and powerful energy spread through his body and regained all energy.
"Despite the bad taste, there are some benefits to eating this fruit." Upon closing his eyes again, Zhou Lin quickly finished biting and eating the fruit.
His face was twisted and distorted from the acidity. He looked really fun making these weird expressions.
"That was a nightmare…"' He muttered dejectedly.
The feeling of eating the fruit was very bad.
"At least my body got stronger after eating these things. I will plant such a tree"
The Mutant Apple had two seeds inside. Adding the other seed together, he had three seeds to plant.
Using the system menu, Zhou Lin created yet another fence and a place to plant the tree.
To his surprise, the Mutant Apple tree would only finish germinating in two weeks. One week longer than Mutant Orange.
"Now is the time to open the gift box. Looks like I forgot to open Gift Box 1.5. I was so focused on Mutant Orange that I forgot about it." Zhou Lin remembered forgetting.
Open…
By pressing the open button, the contents of the box were revealed to him.
ding... ding... ding...
"The host opened the Gift Box 1.5"
"The host received three kilos of iron ore, three kilos of stone, three kilos of wood, ten liters of water, one Mutant Carrot seed, one Mutant Rose seed, and one Mutant Fish"
"The host received the Gift Box 2.0"
"Interesting… Looks like I can start raising fish. Ten liters of water should be enough to create a small pond on the ground."
Open…
Zhou Lin opened the next box because it was level 3 of the system that could be opened.
ding... ding... ding...
"The host opened the Gift Box 2.0"
"The host received ten kilos of iron ore, ten kilos of stone, ten kilos of wood, twenty liters of water, a Rank 1 Mutant Creature Egg, Mutant Egg Incubator"
"The host received the Gift Box 2.5"
"Interesting… I will be able to incubate the two eggs I have. I see… It looks like the requirement to open box 2.5 is not system level, but building some stuff…" Zhou Lin touched the box and saw that some restrictions appeared.
To open Gift Box 2.5, he needs to build a house, a pond, plant five different things, and hatch an egg. That is, creating the things it would use.
Without hesitating, Zhou Lin began to build things easier.
The pond needed nothing but water. The system dug the hole and filled it with water, but fifteen liters of water were used. Fifty experience points were gained for creating the pond.
The Mutant Fish was placed there after Zhou Lin took the fish out of the system.
The fish was very small, the size of a finger. But he knew that this was just the beginning, when the fish grows up, it can become some kind of strange creature.
To make the fish grow faster, Zhou Lin needs to feed him something. Or he could wait a week and the fish would automatically grow.
The next thing he did was plant the pine, apple, carrot, and rose. All plants were mutants. Forty more experience points because of the fences.
The incubator did not need to be taken out of the system, Zhou Lin only needed to select the egg and place it inside.
Incubation time was twenty-four hours.
The house was the hardest thing to build because it used a lot of wood.
The only way to save wood was to build just a small hut using twenty kilograms of wood.
The house looked like a tall rectangular box, was three meters long, two meters high, and had a simple door.
The amount of experience received by the house was two hundred and fifty.
Rather than calling it a cabin, the appearance was more like a big wooden box.
There were still twelve kilos of wood left.
The total experience points added to the buildings was 340, but Zhou Lin needs 5000 experience points.
…
After finishing his things, Zhou Lin opened the box.
ding... ding... ding...
"The host opened the Gift Box 2.5"
"The host received one hundred kilos of iron ore, one hundred kilos of stone, one hundred kilos of wood, two hundred liters of water"
"The host received the Gift Box 3.0"
"Looks like this box only had supplies. But the 3.0 box can only be opened when the system is at level 5..."
