Survive for all and get a D-class simulator

Lin Ye looked at the chat group with a bewildered expression. These people were really daring. He wouldn't even casually mutate his own body.

Was this a case of ignorance is bliss?

Lin Ye didn't post the dangers of mutation in the group, but simply replied:

Lin Ye: I didn't mutate. It feels pretty dangerous, a little scary.

The reason he didn't publicize the dangers of mutation was that Lin Ye himself only had a superficial understanding of it. He wouldn't say much about things he didn't fully understand.

Since the system allowed them to obtain mutation cards, it meant that using them was also part of survival, and this wasn't something Lin Ye could interfere with.

After finishing half of the bland energy bar, Lin Ye opened the trading interface. He compared the patterns, kept one of each for himself, and put the remaining arm and leg mutation cards up for sale, exchanging them for cards of other body parts and other items.

Before long, Lin Ye received a private message from Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang: Hello, Brother Lin.

Lin Ye: What is it?

Zhang Liang: Brother Lin, do you know anything about mutation cards?

Lin Ye: I have some understanding, but not a deep one. I'm afraid of misleading others, so I didn't post anything.

Zhang Liang: Can you tell me about it?

Lin Ye: Mutation is very dangerous. It's best to wait.

Zhang Liang: … … That's it?

Lin Ye: Yes.

Zhang Liang: Do you see any mutation cards here that you need?

Zhang Liang sent several card images.

Lin Ye: I don't have the fourth one yet.

Zhang Liang immediately initiated a trade, giving the card to Lin Ye.

Zhang Liang: Can you tell me more now?

Lin Ye: The principle of mutation is that the body absorbs energy to strengthen itself, and mutated organs are a phased result of this strengthening. Mutation needs to be maintained before a certain limit, otherwise, it will cause extremely serious effects on the body and mind.

But this limit is very difficult to maintain. It's okay in the shelter, but in the Crimson Labyrinth, breathing and activity will automatically absorb this energy to strengthen your body, so I don't recommend using mutation cards.

Zhang Liang: So even if we don't use mutation cards, we can mutate our bodies by moving around in the Crimson Labyrinth?

Lin Ye: No, the energy absorbed by breathing and activity has a very slow effect on the body and can't be compared with using mutation cards at all. What I mean is that if you use the card and then go to the Crimson Labyrinth, there won't be any effect in a short period, but if you continue, it won't be long before you're finished.

But since the system allowed you to get the card, it means that there will be a way to solve this situation in the future, and if you don't use it now, you may die outside, so I don't want to say too much. It's up to you to consider whether to use it or not.

Zhang Liang: I understand. Thank you for your explanation.

Lin Ye: You're welcome. You paid for it.

… … … … … …

Zhang Liang: President, I've finished asking. He wanted card number 4. This is a screenshot.

Wu Ming: Thanks for your hard work. Sure enough, card number 4 is the rarest. The guild only has two of them.

Zhang Liang: Should we tell these members this information?

Wu Ming: Tell them in levels. Only tell the core members about the Crimson Labyrinth part.

Zhang Liang: Understood.

Wu Ming: Don't use mutation cards for now. The risk is too great. Tell me if you need anything.

Zhang Liang: Yes, thank you for your concern, President.

[Tonight's Activity: Explore the Labyrinth]

[Join?]

[09:59]

“Yes.”

Lin Ye only took half a minute to put on his equipment. He had already packed everything he needed into his backpack and was ready to go.

Ten minutes passed quickly. Lin Ye put down the cat and watched the countdown reach zero.

[00:00]

… … … … … … …

Lin Ye rubbed his head and got up from the dark red ground. The surrounding area was still the familiar corridor and room. The backpack and weapons were all fine.

[For the first three days of the nighttime activity, the probability of treasure chests appearing is increased, the probability of higher-level creatures appearing is decreased, and the quality of treasure chest loot is increased. The first treasure chest opened by participants will definitely contain shelter upgrade blueprints.]

[Nighttime Activity Begins]

[01:59:59]

[Obtained Item: Lucky Cat Tail Amulet]

[Lucky Cat Tail Amulet]

[Increases the quality of items inside treasure chests]

[Note: It is said that cats have nine lives, so they should also have nine tails, right?]

The cat tail amulet was a cat tail necklace. Lin Ye put it on his neck and felt warm.

At this time, Lin Ye suddenly remembered that he had found a cross necklace before, but because there was no system prompt, he didn't know what the necklace did.

The cross necklace was in his backpack. Not only the cross necklace, but also mutation cards, red liquid, food, and medicine. He brought everything he might need.

Lin Ye tried putting the cross necklace on his neck. In an instant, he seemed to return to that tunnel, and once again experienced the extraordinary senses that only monsters possess.

“Holy crap!”

Lin Ye hurriedly took off the necklace. This thing was so powerful, he was afraid of side effects, so it was better to go back to the shelter and study it.

After putting away the necklace, Lin Ye began to look for locked red rooms and blood corpses. He still needed five mutated organs to upgrade the shelter.

Now that he had bullets, he was not afraid of encountering ordinary mutated creatures at all. If it was the blood corpse from before, he might not even need to waste bullets.

In the previous simulation, Lin Ye learned in detail from the perspective of a mutated monster how to kill mutated creatures. Mutated organs were the key to mutated creatures. As long as the mutated organs were destroyed, the rest would be easy to solve.

And the mutated parts were usually more obvious and easy to find.

In just 5 minutes, Lin Ye encountered a locked red room.

Including the red keys he traded for, Lin Ye now had 7 red keys and 1 metal red key for special rooms. He didn't have to worry about running out for the time being.

Before unlocking the door, Lin Ye still knocked on the door as usual. Just when he thought that this room would not have any movement like before, he heard a slight footstep inside the room.

“Unexpected harvest?”

Lin Ye knocked on the door again forcefully. This time, a clear roar and the sound of limbs hitting the door came from the room.

‘It sounds like it should be a blood corpse. Should I use a pistol? It feels like a waste of bullets.’

Those living D-level personnel would have some close combat skills. Lin Ye also learned a few moves after the simulation.

After thinking about it, Lin Ye inserted the pistol in an easy-to-reach place, pulled out the dagger with his right hand, and opened the door with the key in his left hand while retreating.

Bang!

The blood corpse crashed open the door and pounced on Lin Ye like a madman.

Lin Ye dodged the blood corpse's pounce sideways and stepped hard on the side of the blood corpse's left knee.

Crack!

The blood corpse's left knee was directly deformed by Lin Ye's stomp. Before the blood corpse, which had lost its balance, could react, Lin Ye stabbed the dagger into the blood corpse's side abdomen, which was obviously abnormal and was likely the blood corpse's mutated part.

Pulling out the dagger, Lin Ye turned and ran. The blood corpse limped after him for a while before falling to the ground and completely stopping moving.
