The Abyss World, the Kemono Girl Encyclopedia Project!

Salamander girl... To be honest, Wang Yan had never seen this kind of setting before.

Seeing Wang Yan looking somewhat dazed, Zhuohua, unsure of what had happened, asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's nothing, I just suddenly spaced out..."

Zhuohua was puzzled and looked Wang Yan up and down. Although his clothes were a little wet, it was still clear that the material was very good. Even the best fabric could not be used to create such exquisite patterns. Moreover, the man was fair-skinned and did not look like the kind of person who did manual labor.

She insisted that this person must have come from the upper echelons.

"Where are you from? Judging from your clothes, you don't seem to be from around here... How should I address you?"

Wang Yan had already prepared his explanation, and calmly explained:

"My name is Wang Yan. I come from another world. I don't know why I ended up here. When I came to my senses, I found myself in a pool of water. Luckily, this... uh... big fox rescued me..."

"Others..."

"world!?"

"What's that meow?"

Upon hearing this, Yingluo suddenly realized something and questioned, "Didn't you say you were a lost traveler? How come you're saying you came from somewhere else now!"

Faced with Yingluo's questioning, Wang Yan could only give an awkward smile. He didn't really want to lie; after all, one lie requires several more to cover it up, and things would only become more and more unclear. He just felt that if he told them he was from another time, it would be very troublesome to explain.

However, when facing Zhuohua, Wang Yan suddenly changed his mind. Her demeanor and behavior were completely different from these wild little beast girls. What Wang Yan said was actually for her to hear. He felt that this salamander girl should be able to understand what he was saying.

As expected, compared to her sisters who all looked puzzled, Zhuohua seemed thoughtful after hearing the news. She lowered her head, rested her chin on her hand, as if pondering something, and after a moment, spoke:

"To be honest, I've never heard of anything like this before, but... I believe what you're saying is true."

To put it bluntly, Wang Yan's appearance makes it impossible for him to be a local native. From Yingluo's conversation with him, we can tell that this man was indeed rescued by Yingluo by accident. Compared to the young masters who were stranded at the bottom of the upper walls, Yingluo thinks it is more reliable that he comes from another world.

"Sister Zhuohua!" Yingluo clenched her little fists, her large pinkish-gray tail swaying from side to side, her fur standing on end. "He's a liar!"

"Alright, alright, Yingluo, aren't you going to listen to your sister?"

Zhuohua had a rough idea of ​​Wang Yan's identity and understood that he was currently homeless. She began to make her own plans and said to the others:

"It's so late, let's eat first, and we can talk about it after dinner."

Hearing her sister speak, the three little beast girls who were gathered together had no choice but to stop the conversation. Zizi and Yingluo rummaged through the storage area on the other side to look for something, while the cat-eared girl went out to gather firewood and start a fire.

"Wow! Sister Zhuohua, the potatoes have been sitting for too long and they've sprouted!"

Zizi held a sprouted potato, her face bitter, a pang of sorrow in her heart. This was food her sisters had bartered for, and it was such a waste to let it spoil like this…

"Um?"

Wang Yan looked at the potato that Little Mouse Girl was holding, then suddenly remembered something, squatted down next to her and said:

"Can I have this potato?"

"Um??"

Little Squeak, her face full of question marks, said to him:

"Huh? Does the guest want to eat sprouted potatoes...? They'll give you a stomachache. We have enough potatoes at home, you don't need to eat these."

Wang Yan waved his hand and explained, "That's not what I meant. Give me this rotten one, and I can conjure up a good potato for you. Do you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Zizi was taken aback:

"Are you kidding me?"

"Oh well, it's already broken anyway, just give it to me."

As he spoke, Wang Yan grabbed the sprouted potato. Zizi looked at him as if he were an idiot, then carried the basket of potatoes out.

Holding the sprouted potato, Wang Yan's mind raced, and his consciousness entered the "planting module" in the system space. This module was somewhat like the Penguin Farm game on Earth; once the seeds were planted, they would grow at a rate a hundred times faster, and the final yield would be ten times greater.

In other words, as long as there are seeds, he can obtain a continuous supply of food, somewhat like the little green bottle of a certain celestial being.

The initial planting module consisted of only one plot of land. Wang Yan tried planting the sprouted potato, and as expected, the farm could operate automatically once the seed was placed in.

As for how to cultivate and upgrade plots, "points" are required, which involves another function of the system: the mall.

Previously, when unlocking the encyclopedia entries for the fox and salamander races, the phrase "unlock new items" popped up. After some investigation, Wang Yan finally understood that everything in the system required spending points to use. As for how to obtain points, he currently only saw that they could be obtained by selling crops from the planting module, and he didn't know if there were any other sources.

Opening the online store, several items came into view.

[Canned Beef] 100 points/can

Purified Water: 10 points/liter

【Seasoning Combo Pack】1000 points/set

[Iron Spear] 500 points

[Basic Space Box] 500 points

[Mystic Sunflower Seed] 300 points

[Core of the Heavenly Cauldron] 4500 points

The sheer variety of goods was overwhelming for Wang Yan, encompassing food, tools, and daily necessities—a truly wide range. The two items at the bottom, the Mystic Sunflower Seeds and the Core of the Heavenly Cauldron, were likely the corresponding unlockable items for the Fox Clan and the Salamander Clan, respectively.

"The core of the Heavenly Cauldron?" Wang Yan looked at this thing, which cost a whopping 4500 points, and wondered to himself, what is this thing for and why is it so expensive?

There was no explanation or anything like that, and no matter how you looked at it, you couldn't figure it out, so the matter of investigating the system's function was abandoned.

Next, Wang Yan went outside. The cat-eared girl washed a few larger potatoes, skewered them with sticks, and roasted them by the fire. This should be their dinner. While they were cooking, Wang Yan decided to open the encyclopedia of the remaining three little beast girls first.

[Steel Teeth Squeak] Rat Clan

After some investigation, Wang Yan gained a preliminary understanding of them and unlocked the items. At this point, the illustrations of these five beast girls were all unlocked.
