I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 233 Harvest
Ning Yun immediately realized that Xuexue must have met a formidable opponent!
Otherwise, it wouldn't keep sending messages.

But there's clearly nothing opposite it!
Could it be [the shadow] again?
No, Xuexue isn't afraid of shadows, which means there must be a monster that's invisible to the naked eye!

Ning Yun immediately took out a searchlight and completely illuminated the surrounding environment.

No matter how I looked at it, I couldn't find anything strange.

Xuexue was neither attacked nor injured.

Judging from its appearance, it seemed to have genuinely sensed some kind of threat.

This is all too bizarre.
"Xuexue?" Ning Yun called its name.

This time, however, it seemed not to hear, and fell into a state of anxiety.

Ning Yun immediately realized something was wrong; it seemed to be trapped in some kind of hallucination.

Xiao Bai didn't understand these things and wanted to step forward, but Ning Yun stopped him.

"Wait, Xiaobai, don't move, I'll do it."

Ning Yun still wears a gem left by the grizzly bear on her chest, which can dispel illusions.

Perhaps that's why she wasn't affected?
Ning Yun took out her weapon, gripped it tightly in her hand, and slowly approached Xue Xue step by step.

Her guess was correct; there were no strange monsters around.

The one who's really not right is Xuexue!

Ning Yun took a few more steps forward, then stopped.

I was quite far from Xuexue just now, so I didn't see the strange plant growing on the tree trunk behind her.

To be precise, it looks a lot like a mushroom.

Unlike real mushrooms, this "mushroom" seems to have no solid cap, resembling a flowing rainbow, dazzling and constantly changing shape.

It's like a hallucination after eating a poisonous mushroom.

Perhaps this is the culprit behind Xuexue's abnormal behavior!

Ning Yun had an idea, but did not try to wake it up.

Under the current circumstances, no matter how much you shout it, it won't make a difference.

Ning Yun decided to take drastic measures, circling around Xue Xue to her back and decisively cutting the strange "mushroom" open, then holding it in her hand.

[Ding! Congratulations on triggering your 100% Critical Hit talent!]

Congratulations on obtaining 2 Ghost Mushrooms!

So, it really is a mushroom.

[Gloomy Mushroom: A special plant that grows in the darkness, surviving in low temperatures and without light. It emits a hallucinogenic odor that causes all creatures that approach it to fall into a hallucination.]

The system also specifically noted that the Glowing Mushroom is not edible.

Ning Yun, however, thought it was a very useful weapon.

If you encounter any danger, take it out and it will make the enemy fall into an illusion, allowing you to take the opportunity to kill them.

This is really a good thing. Ning Yun carefully put it into her backpack.

Without the effect of the Glowing Mushroom, Xuexue quickly regained consciousness.

"Yinyin?"

Xuexue didn't know what had happened; she only remembered finding something strange, and then her mind went blank.

But the dizziness, fear, and terror still lingered in its body, making it feel very uncomfortable and even unable to stand steadily.

Ning Yun quickly hugged it to her chest. "It's okay, you were just drugged. You'll be fine after a nap."

Xuexue fell asleep almost without struggling.

Ning Yun rarely saw it so weak, and touched it tenderly.

"Let's go back first."

Given Xuexue's condition, she really needs to go home and rest.

I thought the biggest challenge for players in the Eternal Night Cataclysm would be the psychological torment.

But the real night hides too many dangers.

Xuexue was lucky; Ningyun and Xiaobai were nearby and could rescue her in time. If other wild beasts or the [Shadow] had arrived first, Xuexue would have been in danger.

Ning Yun and Xiao Bai quickly returned home, put Xue Xue in its nest, and covered it with a small blanket.

The temperature will drop after nightfall.

Although Xuexue wasn't particularly afraid of the cold, Ningyun still prepared a blanket for it, hoping it would sleep more comfortably.

Seeing that Xuexue's breathing was calm, Ningyun moved the small room to the living room.

As night fell, she was going to put the record player in the yard again, but she was afraid of disturbing Xuexue.

At the same time, she made a "shh" gesture to tell Xiaobai not to make too much noise.

Although Xiaobai is usually quite mischievous, he is very reliable when it matters.

It tiptoed out of the house and went out to play in the yard.

Ning Yun sat on the steps by the door and took out the Glowing Mushroom to examine it carefully.

"This special plant is amazing."

Some of them are edible and can change your constitution after eating them.

Some, like the Glowing Mushroom, can be used as useful weapons or items.

However, it would be truly dangerous for an ordinary person to encounter it.

Ning Yun knew that special plants could grow in special environments, which was something Xiao Qichen had told her.

However, most players are unaware of this news.

Ning Yun didn't intend to tell anyone.

Because special plants are either guarded by monsters or are inherently dangerous, they are difficult for ordinary people to pick.

She was afraid that if she leaked this information, people would be tempted by the prospect of profit and would definitely take the risk.

Ning Yun was unwilling to bear such consequences.

If someone is lucky enough to obtain a special plant, it means they have the ability to do so.

For those who lack both ability and luck, informing them of the existence of this special plant is a test of human nature.

Logically speaking, the game has been running for several months, so someone should have discovered the special plant.

But whether in the trading market or the chat channels, almost no one has talked about this topic.

Either they don't know the secret, or those who do know are deliberately keeping it from them.

Ning Yun sighed and put the glowing mushroom back into her backpack.

Several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The sky during the eternal night is completely black, with neither moon nor stars.

Only the record player played lonely songs in the courtyard. Occasionally, a cloud of black mist would appear, be attacked by the music, distorted, and then drop some supplies.

If Xiaobai sees it, it will happily pick it up and bring it to Ningyun.

Even the box wasn't spared by Xiaobai, resulting in the box being covered in drool.

To protect Xiaobai's self-esteem, Ning Yun couldn't show any disgust, so she could only smile and put it away.

I thought it would be a relatively peaceful night.

But to my utter surprise, trouble arose out of nowhere.

Ning Yun suddenly received a message—a video call invitation from Grandpa Hu.

She went back inside and connected to the video call.

Not only Grandpa Hu appeared on the other side, but also Uncle Hu.

"Hello Grandpa Hu, hello Uncle Hu, it's been a long time!" Ning Yun greeted them with a smile.

Grandpa Hu is doing a little better; he'll video call her every two or three days to check on her.

But Uncle Hu was very busy, so Ningyun rarely saw him.

After exchanging greetings, Ning Yun realized something was amiss; Uncle Hu's expression seemed rather serious.

"what happened?"
