The frog still didn't come back...

It's been several days now, ever since I managed to get rid of her with cookies again last time.

I wonder if this little frog is in a bad mood. It used to come back the day after I left.

This time, they've been missing for several days straight...

Li Chaoyang started to worry that the little guy might have run away from home and wasn't coming back...

After steaming rice and stir-frying two simple dishes, Li Chaoyang brought the cooked meal into the house and placed it on the octagonal table, ready to eat.

Just then, I heard the excited croaking of frogs...

"Little Green is back?" Li Chaoyang's expressionless face instantly lit up with surprise!

I put down my chopsticks and opened the system again.

Sure enough, the frog is back!

Having not seen him for several days, the little guy was very excited. He climbed out of the pond and hopped around on the grass, his mouth bulging, and his croaking grew louder and louder...

Those big, round eyes looked at Li Chaoyang with sparkling light.

It's as if it's trying to curry favor with him... It seems the frog has brought back something amazing this time?

Li Chaoyang was initially excited and about to explore the system space.

Suddenly, the system voice rang out!

Warning! Warning! Little Green Frog has brought back an unknown creature from another dimension. Host, please be on high alert!

Good guy!

In the past, it would always be a notification sound first, and then it would slowly report on the frog's travel journey.

This time, there were three alarms in a row... which means the situation is bad...

Li Chaoyang instantly became alert!

"Unidentified creature?"

"This little guy... could he have brought back some monster from another dimension?"

"If it really is a monster, then I'm probably in big trouble..."

Just as he was getting a little nervous, Little Green by the pond seemed to have also heard the system warning.

He hurriedly and laboriously took the small backpack off his back...

Then, it used its tiny front paws to pick up the bag upside down...

A slightly clumsy, forceful shake!

A thin, long pebble fell out of the backpack?

"Uh..." Li Chaoyang was clearly taken aback for a moment, "A stone?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be an unidentified creature?"

"How could it be a rock?"

It is oval-shaped, but not an egg-shaped oval; rather, it is elongated.

And the surface is somewhat rough...like pebbles on a riverbed...

It doesn't look like a living thing at all...

Could it be that the system made a mistake in its detection?

Yes, the system just reported that it was an unidentified creature.

Could it be... some kind of exotic species?

"What kind of monster did this little frog bring back for me?"

Just as he was puzzled, the little frog seemed to sense what he was thinking.

I don't know if I was discouraged, but the excitement from before has disappeared.

Dragging my small backpack, I walked dejectedly towards the frog house...

The movements, the posture... were just like those of a primary school student who was suddenly notified to return to school for extra classes during a holiday...

Li Chaoyang felt a pang of sympathy upon seeing this...

After thinking for a moment, he picked up a piece of meat from the plate on the table.

"I wonder if this little frog eats meat..."

"Even the smallest mosquitoes and flies are still food..."

Muttering to himself, Li Chaoyang fed the bean-sized piece of meat into the system, saying comfortingly, "Thanks for your hard work, Little Green. Here's some protein to replenish your body..."

"What I said just now wasn't about blaming you..."

Even if you bring back a stone, as long as you come back safely, that's what makes you great!

The froglets, who had just returned to their little frog house, instantly perked up at the smell of meat!

With a powerful kick of its hind legs, it leaps high into the air, and with a flick of its long tongue, it rolls the meat into its mouth!

"Croak!" Little Green was no longer the dejected person it had been just moments before.

It bounced around on the grass, seemingly trying to get Li Chaoyang to have a couple more pieces to try...

Seeing that the baby frog could eat meat, Li Chaoyang smiled.

They put a few more pieces into the space, and the two of them, one throwing and the other catching, were like playing frisbee with a dog... It was so much fun that Li Chaoyang completely forgot about the system warning he had just received.

He's been worried sick about the frog cub for the past few days because there's been no news from it.

What he just said reflects his true thoughts at this moment...

As long as the froglet comes back, what's so surprising about what it brings back...?

Anyway, if the stuff I brought back this time wasn't good, there's always next time...

But just as he finished feeding the froglets and was about to eat on his own...

The seemingly ordinary, thin, long pebble on that patch of grass has actually moved!

Li Chaoyang could perceive every move of anything within the system space.

In an instant, he sent the froglet out of the space!

Only then did he nervously look at the "rock" on the grass...

Upon seeing this, Li Chaoyang was dumbfounded: "Holy crap...it's really alive?"

Li Chaoyang had just raised a question.

The white pebbles that had just been rolling suddenly stood upright on the grass!

For a moment, Li Chaoyang felt a chill run down his spine.

Although this small stone looks to be only a dozen centimeters long.

However, this bizarre scene is indeed a bit scary.

What exactly did Little Green bring back?

A rock turned out to be a living, moving creature, and the system warned it that it was an unknown organism.

It seems even the system can't figure out what species it is...

But just as he was nervously examining the system interface, the little frog he had placed on the table next to him seemed completely unconcerned... and instead kept trying to enter the system.

It seems it's not afraid at all...

"Stop it, Little Green."

"What if this is a monster? It might just bite you and kill this precious thing."

"Wouldn't I be devastated?"

"Be good, let's not be impulsive..." Li Chaoyang coaxed and scared the frog to stop.

Just then, a "click" was heard...

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the white stone!

It seems like something is breaking out of its shell...

"Holy crap...it wasn't a rock, it was an egg!"

Li Chaoyang suddenly realized that the frog cub had probably brought back a bird's nest from another dimension!

This little guy is quite naughty!

"But...it's so long and thin, and it can move on its own..."
