Ahhhhh, high-altitude survival!

In an instant, the table was wet everywhere, and many water droplets even splashed onto Lin Yue's face.

Lin Yue helplessly wiped her face, took out a dry towel, and deftly wrapped the little mouse in it, wiping it thoroughly several times.

After all that fuss, the little mouse finally calmed down. Once the towel had dried all the water droplets on its fur, it nimbly jumped to the side of the table and flicked its tail.

Then, several enormous, jet-black snakes appeared on the ground without warning.

A strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air, and the still-dried blood from the black snake splattered everywhere, making the floor that Lin Yue had just mopped dirty again.

!!!

But Lin Yue couldn't care less about the floor at this moment. She stared wide-eyed at the little mouse in front of her in disbelief and asked, "You have a space too? Then why were you carrying the branch in your mouth when you were picking the Drunken Immortal Fruit?"

Faced with Lin Yue's question, the little mouse arrogantly raised its head, its eyes revealing a hint of contempt and disdain, not bothering to respond at all. It simply pointed with its paw at the large snakes, seemingly asking Lin Yue if there was enough for her.

There was definitely enough meat. Lin Yue's team had risked their lives to kill a level-five black snake and obtained several dozen kilograms of meat. The three snakes that this little mouse had thrown out were all no smaller than the previous ones, and the thickest one was clearly a whole size larger than the previous one. Even though they were dead, they still exuded a chilling aura, and it was clear at a glance that they were of high rank.

Lin Yue was about to nod when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind. She quickly carried the little mouse to the flour and rice, pointed to the two ingredients, and said softly, "Little mouse, we have enough meat, but we don't have nearly enough flour and rice. We need these to make desserts. Can you help me find them?"

To make sure the little mouse understood her meaning more clearly, Lin Yue even spent a long time drawing on the table with her hand wet, sketching the shapes of wheat and rice: "Little mouse, these are the prototypes of these two foods. If you can find them successfully, I can make many different kinds of snacks for Sister Jinxuan."

Actually, Lin Yue didn't have high hopes; she was just trying anything as a last resort. But the little mouse was genuinely interested in Jin Xuan. It stretched out its nose and sniffed the flour and rice intently, then stared intently at the painting on the table for a long time. Only then did it squeak twice and dart away like a shot.

At this moment, besides Jin Xuan, only Lin Yue and the large snakes remained in the room. Lin Yue reached out and touched the snakes' bodies, and found that, as she had expected, two of the snakes were level 5, while the snake that was significantly larger than the other two had already reached level 6!

While the little mouse went to find materials, Lin Yue began to deal with the snakes.

Following Liang Dong's example, she peeled off the snake skin, then removed the snake meat from the middle of the skeleton and cut it into large chunks. Finally, she picked out the snake gall and set it aside separately.

After collecting the skin, meat, and gallbladders from several snakes, Lin Yue clicked the "Collect" button for the remaining parts.

After all that work, besides the snake skin and gallbladders, Lin Yue had harvested over sixty kilograms of fresh snake meat and also collected two fragments of a treasure map. Unfortunately, both were in locations she had already visited.

Lin Yue put everything else away, and then took five catties of snake meat and put it into the food processor.

The little mouse took much longer to find the ingredients this time than before, so Lin Yue decided to make some meat floss while waiting for it.

Pork floss is nutritious and easy to chew, and can be sprinkled on any kind of dessert, which is perfect for Jinxuan.

Because there was a lot of snake meat this time, the food processor took longer to cook. After about twenty minutes, the golden-brown, crispy and soft meat floss was finally ready.

Lin Yue picked up a handful of pork floss and put it in her mouth to taste it. It was really good. She didn't know how the food processor processed it. There was no fishy smell at all. It left only a mouthful of salty and sweet flavors.

The meat floss was ready. Lin Yue looked out the window and, seeing that the little mouse hadn't returned yet, added another five pounds of meat, preparing to make snake jerky. This time, she selected the softest setting in the texture section, making it easier for Jin Xuan to chew and swallow.

As the food processor hummed, the ingredients tumbled and stirred inside. Before long, the second batch of snake jerky was successfully produced.

At this moment, the entire room was filled with an enticing aroma. And outside, new noises finally began to stir.

Lin Yue was delighted and looked towards the door.

This time, the little mouse was clean, except for a lot of mud on its little paws. Seeing Lin Yue looking at it expectantly, the little mouse stomped its foot, first shaking off the mud from its paws, and then "plop plop plop" flung out a whole bunch of plants.

Lin Yue took a closer look and saw that there were many different kinds of things. There were common plants such as barnyard grass and liriope, as well as many weeds that Lin Yue couldn't even name. Fortunately, the bracelet backpack had an identification function, and Lin Yue put things in and sorted them out as she went. It took her quite a while, but she finally managed to categorize all the things.

It must be said that perseverance pays off. Although the little mouse brought back a variety of scattered items, the quantity was truly impressive. Moreover, the little mouse seemed to have an exceptionally persistent drive to find things for Jinxuan. It would put anything it saw that seemed reasonably good into its spatial storage, adhering to the principle of "better to take the wrong thing than miss out." In the end, it successfully brought back a considerable amount of wheat and rice.

Lin Yue selected a few of the fullest apple trees and moved them directly into the game space. Although Lin Yue's planting method was rough, the results were quite good. The apple trees in Plants vs. Zombies had already produced their second batch of fruit, so Lin Yue was very confident in her planting abilities.

Besides wheat and rice, the little mouse even brought back a few peanuts, which was a pleasant surprise. Lin Yue didn't eat any of them, putting them all into the game. Only after watching Little Lin Yue being buried in the ground did she withdraw her mental energy with peace of mind.

Seeing Lin Yue busy herself for a while and then give her a thumbs up, the little mouse instantly realized that she hadn't made a mistake this time, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Having run two trips in the dead of night, the little mouse was exhausted. It didn't care about the rest, quickly scurried back to the armrest of the recliner, and soon began to snore softly.
