Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

Lin You looked at the three reward options that appeared before her, her face showing hesitation.

This was probably the most difficult choice he had faced since entering the survival game.

……

[Reward ①: Obtain a level 5 purple accessory "Fairy Amulet"]

[Reward ②: Permanently increase Luck attribute by 20 points]

[Reward 3: Recruit the Flower Fairy "Vivian" as a follower]

……

Lin You's gaze shifted back and forth between the three options as she pondered.

The value of purple jewelry is undeniable.

If you take it to the market, you can sell it for at least tens or hundreds of silver coins.

As for the 20 points of luck attribute...

Luck is the most special of all attributes.

It doesn't affect combat power, but it does affect everything related to "luck".

Lin You's current luck attribute is only E-level with 10 points, which is the most basic value.

If his luck is directly increased to 30 points, his luck will undergo a qualitative change.

Opening treasure chests, mining, and defeating monsters for loot... you can benefit from all of these.

But this option still wasn't the one that appealed to him the most.

Lin You's gaze finally fell on the third option.

Recruit the flower fairy "Vivian" as a follower!

It's not an item, nor is it a set of attribute points.

Rather, he is a living, intelligent follower.

Lin You had seen other players discussing the "follower" system on the forum.

That sparked a wave of discussion after a lucky individual switched to the "Beast Tamer" profession.

According to that player, followers are divided into three main categories: combat type, support type, and production type.

The combat type can fight alongside its master, essentially giving it a permanent teammate.

Support characters do not directly participate in combat, but they can provide various buffs.

The production unit is a logistics unit specifically responsible for tasks such as collection, planting, and production.

Regardless of the type of follower, they are all rare and hard to find.

They are extremely difficult to obtain and are very rare.

"This flower fairy... should be either a support or production type."

Lin You muttered to herself, her mind racing.

Although purple accessories are precious, they are ultimately just a piece of equipment.

When you become stronger in the future, you will naturally be able to fight for better opponents.

While the Luck attribute is tempting, it can also be improved through other means.

For example, certain special items, or absorption magic cards.

But the followers are different.

The channels for acquiring followers are extremely limited, and once missed, they may never be found again.

He took a deep breath and made his decision.

"I choose the third reward: to recruit the Flower Fairy as a follower."

[Confirm selection!]

You have successfully recruited the Flower Fairy "Vivian" as a follower.

Please name your followers (optional)

"Vivian is a very nice name, there's no need to change it."

As soon as Lin You finished speaking, the blue and white fluorescent light in the center of the flower field suddenly became brighter.

The petite figure slowly rose from the light and flew towards Lin You.

She stopped in front of Lin You, less than twenty centimeters from the tip of his nose.

Lin You could clearly see her delicate features and transparent wings.

And those eyes that sparkled with starlight.

"Hello, Master."

Vivian spoke, her voice clear and melodious, like a wind chime swaying in a gentle breeze.

"Thank you for waking me up."

Lin You subconsciously reached out his hand, and Vivian landed lightly in his palm.

She was as light as a feather, and could hardly feel any weight.

"Without your watering, I might never have been born."

Vivian looked up at Lin You, her bright eyes filled with gratitude.

"Okay, please take care of me from now on."

Lin You smiled and nodded, then opened the follower panel to view Vivian's detailed information.

……

[Follower: Vivian]

[Race: Flower Fairy]

[Level: 5]

【Life: 50/50】

[Magic Power: 500/500]

【Skill:】

【①- Blessing of Flowers: Passive skill, increases the growth speed of plants within a 20-meter radius of Vivian by 200%】

【②-Gathering Mastery: Passive Skill. When Vivian gathers plant materials, there is a 50% chance to obtain additional seeds or seedlings of that plant.】

【③-Touch of Life: Active skill, allows a plant to fully mature within 10 seconds. Mana cost is based on the plant's rarity and growth time. Cooldown: 30 minutes】

[Note: Flower fairies are the embodiment of the will of nature. They love life and abhor fighting. They cannot directly participate in battles, but their very existence is a blessing.]

……

After reading this information, Lin You's eyes flashed with barely concealed excitement.

It is obvious that Vivian is a non-combat unit.

Even though it can't fight, this ability is just too strong!

Maintain a 200% plant growth rate!

If he could grow something, wouldn't he be able to sit back and wait for the harvest?

There's also "Gathering Mastery," which gives you a 50% chance of obtaining seeds.

This means he doesn't need to go to the wild to collect every time; he can grow it himself!

As for the "Touch of Life"... it only takes 10 seconds for a plant to fully mature!

Although there is a 30-minute cooldown, it can still be very valuable if used properly.

"Vivian, you are amazing."

Lin You sincerely praised it.

Vivian lowered her head shyly upon hearing the praise, rubbing her hands on the hem of her skirt.

"You flatter me, Master."

Lin You smiled and turned her gaze to the flower field.

"By the way, there's something I want to ask you."

"May I pick the fluorescent tulips in this flower field?"

Vivian tilted her head and looked at the blooming flowers.

"Of course you can pick them, but..."

"If Vivian comes to collect them, she can harvest the seeds of fluorescent tulips."

"This way, the owner won't have to search everywhere anymore; they can just grow it themselves."

Lin You's eyes lit up.

This is exactly what he wanted!

"Then I'll leave it to you."

"Leave it to me!"

Vivian flew up from Lin You's palm and flew towards the flower field.

The flower fairy was very fast; in less than ten minutes, she had collected all the blooming fluorescent tulips.

She flew back to Lin You, clutching a bulging leaf bundle.

"Master, these are all the petals and seeds we collected."

Your follower "Vivian" has collected 36 "Glowing Tulip Petals"!

Your follower "Vivian" has collected 18 "Glowing Tulip Seeds"!

You have unlocked the crafting recipe for the "Planting Pot"!

[Planting pots: 5 clay, 2 wood, 10 soil, requires a basic worktable]

[Note: This product can be used to grow small plants and needs to be placed in a sunny and humid environment.]

Lin You's eyes lit up.

Planting pots!

With this, he can grow things on the minecart!

Although the lighting conditions on the minecart are not very good, it has torches and lanterns, which can be used to supplement the lighting.

"Vivian, well done."

Lin You gave a thumbs up.

Vivian happily flapped her wings and perched on his shoulder.

"It's about time to go back."

Lin You was about to return to the mine cart when she suddenly remembered something.

He opened the forum to see how other players were reacting to the "battle for new players".

Then, he froze.

999+ friend requests, 999+ private messages.

The red number of unread messages sent chills down his spine.

He clicked on the top few private messages.

[Qi Chuan: Hey bro, why haven't you entered the Abyss Dungeon yet? People from other servers are all mocking us!]

Qi Chuan: We believe you must have been held up by something, but we're still a little worried...

[Qi Chuan: If you see this message, could you please reply?]

Lin You raised an eyebrow and scrolled down.

[Elena: Mr. Lin, are you alright? Did something happen to you?]

[Elena: I saw people on the forum saying bad things about you, calling you a "deserter" and a "coward," and I got so angry that I cursed them out several times!]

Elena: But I'm still a little worried about you... Please reply if you see this message!

Upon seeing these comments, Lin You frowned and then opened the game forum.

The debate continued in the temporary cross-regional chat room.

"Hahahaha! The first day of the event is almost over, and Lin You from your region still hasn't made the list! You've been bragging for nothing!"

"Exactly, exactly. What 'strategy master'? I think he's more like a 'mouth power king'."

"Our district's number one player reached the third basement level, and your district's highest is only the second!"

The players in Zone 25535 were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

"That's enough!"

Qi Chuan's ID lit up in the chat room.

"Boss Lin You definitely has his own plans! What do you know?"

"Exactly! You'll see when Boss Lin You makes his move!"

"A bunch of frogs in a well, all they do is croak!"

Players in the 25535 newbie zone tried their best to refute the claims, but to little avail.

Just then, a new message appeared in the chat room.

[25535 Newbie Zone - Lin You: Sorry, I was busy with something else and made everyone worry.]
