I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 8, Section 1.0: Searching for the Golden Carrot

The adorable sound of "Boom!" echoed throughout the entire radish field.

Koya was so startled by the sudden sound that she almost dropped the hoe in her hand. The man stood frozen, trembling all over, while Fishu leaned casually against the giant radish, slowly opening his azure eyes and piercing the smoke with a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

A figure slowly emerged from the smoke, grabbing the rabbit by its ears and lifting it into the air. The rabbit reverted to its original white form, as described by the residents, and appeared dizzy.

"This is what a rabbit looks like after it's been knocked unconscious. Once it's unconscious, it won't wake up again." Mu Yegui said as he lifted the rabbit by the ears and walked to the big radish.

But when they reached the big radish, the rabbit woke up again and began to struggle violently.

"It will automatically awaken when you get close to the radish. At this time, you just need to..." Mu Yegui revealed his other hand, which was holding a plump radish.

As the carrot drew closer and closer, almost hitting her, the rabbit struggled even more violently, but in the end, it only felt the carrot gently touch its head.

'Bang!' The cute sound came again, and the rabbit fainted once more.

“It doesn’t matter the force; as long as you touch it, you’re knocked unconscious.” Mu Yegui said, then suddenly muttered in confusion, “This dungeon is really friendly to rabbits.”

It's really user-friendly. Normally you have to knock someone unconscious with force, but here the judgment doesn't discriminate based on the amount of force. As long as you touch them, you've succeeded. The difficulty is so low that even someone with a mental disability can complete it easily.

She casually put the rabbit in her hand on the ground, then returned to the big radish and sat down on the ground. In a soft but very self-righteous voice, she said, "I'm so tired."

This means that she has found the method, but she will not participate in the actual action; thinking is tiring and she needs to rest.

Koya: "..." Can't you have any self-awareness as a big shot?

"Why not continue to help to the end?" Fish looked down at the spiral above Mu Yegui's head and chuckled softly.

“It’s like taking away their very means of survival if we’re too eager to help them. If we want what’s best for them, we have to be ruthless and let them experience things firsthand.” Mu Yegui looked down at the radish in her hand, her clear, silver eyes flickering slightly. She paused for a moment, then added, “Besides, this is a beginner’s dungeon.”

Yes, this is just a beginner dungeon.

It's clear from all aspects that this instance was originally not friendly to players, yet they haven't faced any life-threatening danger so far.

Therefore, this can be understood as protection for new users.

If you can't even easily get through the beginner dungeons, then you probably won't even know how you died in the later dungeons.

This instance shields the danger of being attacked when facing away from the rabbit; at least, no one else has triggered this passive ability except for her.

Therefore, her previous belief that different tasks in the same instance had the same settings was incorrect. Perhaps it was because she saw the diary of another task that the settings overlapped, and the system judged that she was doing another task. This was something she just discovered.

That's why those dangers only affected her, and had no effect on others.

“Fishu, this task is very simple, but it will take time to complete. You already knew that, didn’t you?” Mu Yegui slowly looked up at Fishu, only to have his eyes covered by Fishu’s large hand.

"Don't look at me like that, or I'll be tempted to gouge your eyes out." Her azure eyes were fixed on Mu Yegui, a cold killing intent flashing in them.

The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned as if he were pleased, and his handsome face exuded a captivating charm.

Mu Yegui silently reached into his pocket and grabbed the "76" rabbit's red eye, seemingly intending to use the item on Fei Xiu. However, Ke Ya's sudden voice made Mu Yegui take his hand out of his pocket again, and he temporarily abandoned the idea.

"I can't hold on any longer!" Ke Ya shouted to Mu Yegui, her expression anxious, but she couldn't stop the rabbit from getting closer to the carrot.

Mu Yegui grabbed Fei Xiu's hand and then said calmly, "Ke Ya, there's no need to fight anymore."

"But!" Ke Ya looked at the rabbits and then at the carrot, finally frowning and reluctantly choosing to obediently return to Mu Yegui's side. Without anyone stopping them, the rabbits swarmed towards the big carrot and devoured it in no time.

[Ding ding! Game lost!]

[The radishes have disappeared; they cannot be planted again the next day.]

All the people saw was that the radishes that had been there had completely disappeared after the sound fell. Whether they were large radishes, those that had been pulled out before, or those that had been growing in the field, they all vanished without a trace.

"What are you doing!" Sure enough, the man shouted at Mu Yegui again.

Ke Ya's eyes flickered slightly, but she ultimately remained silent, waiting for Mu Yegui's explanation.

"I'm just conducting an experiment to see how things will go tomorrow. Today is only the first day, there's no need to put in so much effort." Mu Yegui glanced at Ke Ya, then unconsciously tiptoed as if trying to compare heights with her, but in the end, he was still a head shorter than her, and could only walk away with a blank expression.

It seems like she's throwing a tantrum...

Fish watched Mu Yegui's departing figure with a helpless expression, then suddenly murmured a strange sentence, "It's so peaceful it's making me sleepy."

W-what?
Mu Yegui wasn't actually angry; she just inexplicably felt that she was too short. Apart from being taller than a rabbit, anyone could look down on her because of her height.

"What should I eat to grow taller..." she murmured to herself as she walked.

As darkness fell, the round houses around the area lit up, even though it had only been a short while since Mingming had finished hunting rabbits.

But since the radishes have all disappeared, dinner won't be radishes either, and most importantly, she hates eating radishes.

The case is solved. Mu Yegui didn't stop Ke Ya from losing the game to verify her idea. In fact, she just wanted to avoid eating the radish she hated, not to mention that eating the radish might turn her into a rabbit, which made her hate it even more.

Mu Yegui did not go back to the small round house where he was temporarily staying, but instead turned around and went to the village chief's house alone.

[Target selected, punishment initiated.]

the other side.

"You look very tired." Little Fatty An Lin asked, puzzled, when he saw Ke Ya collapse onto the bed as soon as she returned.

"Mmm," Koya mumbled, "Tired."

She wasn't sure which aspect she meant, but all she wanted to do was eat and then sleep. Since arriving in this godforsaken place, she hadn't eaten anything. She hadn't felt anything before, but now the thought of it made her incredibly hungry.

"I made some vegetable soup, would you like some?" The chubby An Lin brought out a pot of steaming hot vegetable soup and said to Ke Ya.

At that moment, the door was slowly pushed open.

Mu Yegui covered his entire face with his hood again, seemingly refusing to let anyone get close, and walked to a corner to sit down on the ground.

The chubby boy An Lin's hand holding the soup spoon trembled slightly. He seemed to see a faint red stain on the white cloak, and his intuition told him that it might be blood.

Moreover, she exuded an aura that was not to be trifled with at this moment, making her seem quite terrifying compared to the calm and approachable person she had encountered during the day.
