The Lord of Glimmer plants the sun in the eternal night.

The darkness outside changed, as if ink had been diluted by a drop of water.

The arrival of "light night" means the arrival of daytime.

Jiang Chuan woke up early.

This was his first sleep after transmigrating to this world. The tension, anxiety, and mixed emotions, along with the presence of his sister-in-law in his arms, prevented him from sleeping well.

However, her sister-in-law, Ye Xuan, slept very soundly.

He could clearly sense the other person's exhaustion; he himself had obviously had a difficult time during his unconscious period.

Therefore, neither side took any further action.

As the saying goes, "When you're well-fed and warm, you start thinking about sex." When you're cold and hungry, you won't even think about that kind of thing.

But since we've shared a bed, we still have responsibilities to bear.

That said, I really don't know what got into him that he didn't know how to cherish such a woman.

In my past life, you wouldn't have been able to marry someone like that without two million!

"call--"

Jiang Chuan carefully pulled his arm out of the scalding hot jade and tiptoed out of bed.

After a night, the flint stopped emitting light and turned back into an ordinary round stone.

He now needs to return this thing to the fire spring to be re-warmed, and then check on how the sweet potatoes are growing.

More importantly, whether the bear trap actually traps the creature.

Thinking of this, the cold inside and outside the house could not dampen his enthusiasm.

He wrapped the only animal skin coat in the house around his body, rubbed his hands together, and went out.

The weather was exceptionally cold, and white mist filled my mouth and nose with every breath.

"Winter is coming, I need to think of other ways to get food." Jiang Chuan muttered to himself, watching the scattered snowflakes falling from the sky.

Even in this world without daylight, the four seasons can still be distinguished.

Spring and summer are the active seasons for the fire springs, which gush forth and can meet the needs of farming.

Winter is its dry season. Although the pool is still bright, it can only be used to warm the flint for lighting and heating.

In other words, it is not feasible for him to grow crops on a large scale during the winter season, as the water storage capacity of the fire spring is completely insufficient.

Unless he solves the problem of crops' resistance to cold and drought through agriculture, so that they don't need irrigation with fire spring water.

However, this feature requires unlocking several prerequisite nodes, which requires a considerable amount of Ether Points.

Jiang Chuan shook his head, deciding not to think about it too much for now.

He returned the extinguished flint to the fire spring, then used a utensil to scoop up some spring water from it and went to the nursery.

The sweet potatoes are growing well; the seedlings have already grown into green stems and leaves that are as tall as a calf.

I believe we'll reap the rewards before the next night arrives.

This is good news for Jiangchuan. With the food provided by this nursery, they can last for many days.

"Hopefully, the bear trap will bring me good news too."

After watering the fire spring with the water, Jiang Chuan barely lingered before striding towards the mountain path, heading towards the place where he had set up the traps the day before.

On the mountain road.

A dead, eerie creature lay quietly on the bear trap; it was rat-shaped and looked quite small.

Seeing this from afar, Jiang Chuan was overjoyed and quickly ran over to observe it closely.

This strange creature looks just like a rotting rat.

It has no eyes, its mouth takes up almost two-thirds of its head, and its body is covered with dense black tentacles, making it look extremely creepy.

"What is this disgusting thing?"

Jiang Chuan felt that this thing was more deformed than anything he had ever seen.

"Are you sure throwing this thing into the fire spring will produce a flint, or just a dead rat spoil the whole pool?"

He was puzzled, as he didn't know much about this thing and had only gotten a few bits of information from his older brother.

"You did it! You really did it, Ah Shui! You've hunted down a 'Mole'!"

A joyful sound came from behind Jiang Chuan; it was Ye Xuan, who had also come out.

Seeing the strange corpse on the ground, she was overjoyed, never expecting that Jiang Chuan could actually hunt such a terrifying creature.

"..."

Jiang Chuan looked at Ye Xuan with slight surprise: "Sister-in-law, how did you know?"

"There are people in the wasteland who specialize in hunting these common monsters; I've seen them," Ye Xuan said, her face flushed. "There are even markets in the wilderness that buy these monsters."

"so...."

Jiang Chuan looked thoughtfully at the mole on the ground. It was not surprising that the wasteland, with its flat terrain, numerous fire springs, and many human settlements, could produce a market for trading strange items.

"Then how do we turn it into flint? Do we just throw it directly into the fire spring?" Jiang Chuan continued to ask.

"Then I don't know."

"All I know is that they seem to be buying strange objects for some kind of research?" Ye Xuan's voice gradually weakened.

Jiang Chuan nodded and said nothing more. There were indeed "researchers" in the sequence talents, but these people were a bunch of lunatics. Transplanting the flesh and blood of aliens and turning strange creatures into weapons were their daily activities.

Therefore, most "researchers" are not mentally sound.

Most people know this news.

However, the most crucial point is that Jiang Chuan's micro-light research manual also contains information on the modification direction of using ghost objects.

However, because the preceding node was not unlocked, he did not know the specific effect.

We can only take it one step at a time. If possible, I hope he won't be seen as a 'madman' in the future.

Now, let's think about how to turn it into flint.

He found two tree branches, picked up the monster's corpse, and headed back.

Before you're absolutely sure, it's best not to touch this disgusting thing with your body, even though it's already dead.

Ye Xuan picked up the animal trap and carefully followed behind him.

"Sizzle~"

As the two approached the light, the creature's corpse emitted a scorching sound.

This startled the two of them.

"What the hell are we doing having a barbecue?" Jiang Chuan was dumbfounded. He saw the mole's corpse melting rapidly, its fangs and tentacles disappearing.

"Holy crap, this won't do."

Realizing what was happening, he took off running towards the fire spring.

But the closer he got to the fire spring, the brighter the light became, and the faster the monster's corpse melted.

Before he even arrived, the corpse had lost its rodent-like appearance and was left as a dark, slimy mass.

The branches couldn't hold it in, and the liquid slid down the branches and onto the snow.

"What's going on?" Jiang Chuan asked, looking at Ye Xuan.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

"Hmm... since this thing is no longer affected by the firelight, does that mean it's safe?"

"Perhaps, this is what Huoquan wants? Not a deformed corpse?"

"If I put it into a hot spring, will it produce flint?"

Jiang Chuan's mind raced as he pondered the answer.

He felt that his guess was pretty accurate.

Since even 'Firelight' considers this thing to be no threat, it certainly can't cause any harm to people.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chuan reached out and grabbed it.

"Ah Shui..." Ye Xuan breathed slightly.

"It's alright," Jiang Chuan said with a smile.

Although only a corner of the foreign object was grasped, the liquid substance did not separate, remaining as a single entity.

Holding it in your hand, besides its icy texture, it also feels like grasping a mass of dead dreams.

But what made him feel safest was mainly the message coming from his mind.
