Mutant Orange
Zhou Lin walked through the white sands of the crater until he reached the edge. He had a hard time climbing it, but it wasn't very difficult.
When he reached the top, an unbelievable scene was seen.
A city. The city was completely destroyed, but it was already covered by green vegetation. The place looked like the ruins of an ancient city.
poff... poff...
"What is it? How is this possible? How did this happen??" Zhou Lin dropped to his knees as he stared at the scene before him.
Some of these places were still in his memories.
The meteor destroyed almost everything around, but some things remained partially intact, like boards and pieces of buildings.
In some of these things, the shape and letters haven't yet been erased by time.
Zhou Lin remembered some signs in the place.
"Is this the city? How is this possible? Did something happen after the ceiling fell on me?" He didn't know the thing that fell on him was a meteor. He thinks it was just the motel ceiling.
whoosh...
chichichi...
The icy wind has blown and various squeaking sounds are heard.
Looking ahead, Zhou Lin saw several giant flying insects like beetles, cicadas, and many others, but each one looked mutated because of some strange things on their bodies.
"Is this here some apocalypse? Am I on some isekai with an apocalyptic world theme?" He couldn't believe it because it felt so surreal.
roar!!!! roar!!!
shake... shake...
boooom!!! boooom!!!
Loud roars echo and thumping sounds are heard.
The place was shaking due to the fight of some giant creatures. But none of them were seen because they are so far away.
"This here is like a nightmare…" When Zhou Lin looked back, he was shocked to see that he was inside a gigantic crater in the ground.
The rim of the crater was the street and the place where he was before was a hole in the basement.
"That's… No… It can't be…" His thoughts turned chaotic as he linked the clues.
The giant crater and the mysterious item it absorbed.
(That was a meteor!!!) He mentally screamed.
This was to avoid attracting the lurking creatures.
(A meteor fell on top of me!! That's very bad luck. I was about to release my essence and it happened… Very bad luck...) His mood turned down as he remembered that day.
Zhou Lin and the prostitute did several rounds of activities in some places in the motel room, but just as he was about to shoot the last charge and finish the round, the meteor fell on top of him.
That was very bad luck.
(But how did I survive? Did the system save me? How long has it been since the meteor crash? Looking at the dust in the crater and the trees covering the entire city, I estimate it's been at least ten years or more. This town has become a place with no human life and there are only giant creatures around… This is the best place to create my farm!!!!) Zhou Lin put aside his dismay and started to think about other things.
But when he realized that the city had no one but him and the giant creatures, he was excited that this could be the perfect place to create a farm.
Without people around, he didn't fear being attacked. About the giant creatures, he just needs to find an interesting place to hide.
Also, giant creatures can be used as guards and warning signs.
If any humans enter the place, they would attack the creatures because it was the normal thing to do.
Without hesitating, Zhou Lin thought of a plan to try to build the farm on the spot.
The first thing he did was open the system.
"I have thirteen kilos of wood. I can create two hundred and fifty axes to level the system to level 2. I need to see what I can get by opening the box." He did this quickly.
When putting the items into the system, he got discouraged.
Only one item could be created at a time, this was very tedious and tiring.
"That must be why the system is mutating. Not only mutating but also strange. A normal system shouldn't have these difficulties for the user. Wasn't the system to make life easier for users? This one is making it easy, but not much…" He mumbled as he clicked the create and place items buttons thousands of times.
Luckily, the axe percentage is always 100%. Otherwise, he would be very discouraged if one had broken.
ding... ding... ding...
"Successful Combination"
"The host created an axe"
"2 experience points were earned for crafting the axe."
"Successful Combination"
"The host created an axe"
"2 experience points were earned for crafting the axe."
"Successful Combination"
"The host created an axe"
"2 experience points were earned for crafting the axe."
…
Zhou Lin listened to these three messages fifty times in a row.
His mind was almost exploding with boredom and madness. He couldn't take it anymore.
If he had created a hundred knives, he wouldn't have known what he could have done to keep his sanity.
When the experience points reached the number 100, the system rang again.
ding... ding... ding...
"Congratulations on leveling the system to level 2."
"The host received a physical improvement"
"The host has enabled new options to select"
"The host received a Mutant Orange as a reward"
Hot, powerful energy spread through Zhou Lin's body and strengthened him.
The strengthening was greater than the first time.
His hunger and tiredness went away after that.
"To level the system to level 3, I need 500 experience points… This is very disheartening…" He muttered, but his attention was focused on something else, the Mutant Orange.
