Chu Fu instantly tensed up.
Her fingers tightened around the seeds of dandelions and cleavers, ready to summon an army of plants and give these players from Huanyu Studio a taste of a new "bundled package."
But the next second,
after Huanyu Kuangba shouted those two words, he suddenly lurched backward and smoothly slipped into the very center of the group.
The team of over fifty people formed layers to encircle Huanyu Kuangba, then sprinted at top speed toward the dungeon entrance.
After quickly taking a shrinking potion, the person at the core of the team vanished into the light of the ordinary dungeon portal.
"Escort successful! Run for it!"
The Huanyu Studio players fled like scared dogs, even faster than when they arrived, scrambling into the wheat field, accompanied by a scream.
One of them was attacked by a mutated rat.
"Well, this..."
It was hard to judge.
Chu Fu was speechless.
She thought they were about to make a big move, but instead, they pulled a lame stunt.
"Seriously? That whole tough-guy act, and I thought they were ready to fight to the death. And this is what we get?"
Jiaojiao Bu Jiaqi laughed.
With a guild like that, how could they even compete for the top spot in the newbie village?
"Total waste of energy!"
Chu Fu found a spot and pulled out a tent.
She set up the tent, which took up about four square meters, and was about to crawl inside.
"Plant Sister!"
A polite voice called out.
Chu Fu looked over and saw a female player with a pretty face, her ID hovering above her head: Zhimengzhe.
"Plant Sister, thanks for driving off those Huanyu Studio people earlier. You don't know me, but I'm really grateful. Here, I made this little something for you!"
Zhimengzhe held out a pile of items, dropped them next to Chu Fu, and ran off before she could react.
"System notification: You have received a gift from Zhimengzhe: Bunny Sleep Three-Piece Set."
"Oh! Thank you! Hey, sis, add me as a friend! I'll give you some useful gear when I get the chance!"
But the other player refused the friend request and truly hurried away.
Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Zhimengzhe is socially anxious, but she makes knitted toys in real life. She's incredibly skilled! She handmade all of these."
Chu Fu opened the bundle and her eyes lit up.
A bunny-shaped pillow, complete with long ears, made of rabbit leather (without fur).
A thick mattress pad, covered in rabbit fur, stuffed with bundled straw.
And finally, a rabbit-fur blanket, where the fur had been twisted into yarn and crocheted into a loose, breathable fabric.
"This... She's amazing!"
Chu Fu had the utmost respect for handmade craft masters!
"Rabbit Leather Pillow (White Grade): A pillow to sleep on, maybe with sweet dreams!"
"Rabbit Fur Mattress Pad (White Grade): A thick mattress pad for added sleeping comfort. Spread it out when the ground's too hard."
"Handmade Crochet Rabbit-Fur Blanket (White Grade): Soft and warm, cuddly to the touch."
Although the items had no stats, they were recognized by the system.
Everything was made from the pelts of Red-Eye Rabbits.
Chu Fu thought that if the quality of the pelts were higher, Zhimengzhe could probably craft items that boosted comfort or added attributes.
"Sister Jiaojiao, make sure she accepts my friend request. I'll want her to make things for me in the future!"
"Got it!"
Jiaojiao agreed.
Soon, Chu Fu got her sixth friend.
"Plant Sister, please don't give me money. If you do, people might start sending you things just to ask for good gear, and I don't want to start that trend. Plus, I genuinely wanted to thank you."
Zhimengzhe’s message showed her sincerity.
Chu Fu felt a warmth inside—this socially anxious girl had a really kind heart!
"Alright, I'll accept your gift. But if I want to commission something from you in the future, don't refuse. Charge me a fair price."
"Okay~ I'll do my best!"
Chu Fu ended the pleasant private chat and lay down in the tent, resting her head on the bunny pillow, sleeping on the mat, and covered with the blanket.
It was so comfortable!
She could even roll around inside the tent!
When reading a novel, you never got these details. The game "Primordial Gate" was just too realistic. She wondered what lay behind that gate, anyway.
After all, this novel had been abandoned!
Chu Fu had no idea how it ended.
But based on discussions about game novels, she figured the most likely outcome was that whoever passed through the gate became a god.
Sigh. Her dear brother Chu Feng was about to become a god and still hadn't remembered his comatose sister.
Luckily, she had transmigrated.
This powerful ally wasn't going anywhere.
With that thought, Chu Fu opened her communications to call Chu Feng first.
The other side picked up quickly.
"Fufu, what's wrong? How's the game going? Has anyone been bullying you?"
Why did her brother always think she'd be bullied?
Chu Fu glanced at her over 3,000 PK points and felt terrifyingly villainous.
"No, bro, it's fine. You said we'd call every day at 2 PM, but since I'm in the tent now and planning to sleep soon, I'm calling early."
"Good. If anything happens, let me know. I'll link your bank card this afternoon and transfer some money to you later."
"Bro, I don't need money!"
She was actually loaded!
Chu Feng naturally wouldn't take no for an answer. They chatted a bit more, and Chu Feng told her to get some rest before hanging up.
After hanging up, Chu Fu was physically exhausted, but her mind wasn't quite ready to settle down.
She decided to open the game's official forum to see what was new today.
There were general boards and server-specific boards. Chu Fu clicked on the general board and picked one of the hottest threads.
She was immediately drawn in.
"Folks, is this game real? My rabbit grew this big in one month—isn't this just a Red-Eye Rabbit?" [Image] [Replies: 230,000+] [Viral!]
Chu Fu's eyes narrowed.
Before this world mutated under the influence of the game, some changes were already starting.
Did the players already know at this point?
She clicked in immediately.
There, she saw a giant rabbit picture.
The OP wrote in an extremely cheerful tone:
"Folks, you won't believe it. In just one month, my rabbit went berserk—huge as a pig."
"Its eyes are red like searchlights, it kicked the iron cage clean off with its hind legs, and it bared its teeth trying to bite me!"
"Isn't this exactly a Red-Eye Rabbit?"
"So, in a fit of anger, I went ahead and..."

Chu Fu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The pictures were of food.
Spicy rabbit head, cold rabbit meat, braised rabbit, charcoal-grilled rabbit ribs.
The comments were all in on the fun.
"Respect to you, madman, poisoning late-night readers like this."
"Serious question: if game rabbits invade reality, would they replace pork? Because those giant rabbits are huge!"
"Then should we eat mutant rats? Fatter than bamboo rats."
"No! (vomit)"
"Agreed! Bunny wunnies are so cute—better eat the mice!"
"Are the people who agree with this just newbies who have never played through a dungeon? Have you ever seen what a mutated rat looks like? Covered in lumps!"
"Watch out for plague transmission!"
"In our China, as long as it dares to show a health bar—even if it's a mutant Tyrannosaurus Rex—we'll still figure out whether it's better suited for steaming or braising!"
