Access Card

'This seems to be a comprehensive form of protection.'

Lin Ye put away the transparent grid, planning to find some time later to study this thing.

Next was that white glowing sphere, only the size of a fist, seemingly a miniature version of that artificial light source.

【Light Source Fragment】

【A sphere that can maintain light and heat within a certain range for an extended period】

【Note: Clean Energy】

'Is this some kind of black tech from the organization? Or a derivative of some research project?'

Lin Ye put away the glowing sphere and picked up the last item.

It was a delicate card made of unknown material. The front of the card was bright red, and the back was pitch black.

【Causality Instrument Access Card】

【Use this card to operate the Causality Instrument from anywhere (1/1)】

【Note: Invert the effect for the cause, the cycle of cause and effect】

"Holy crap!"

This was a card that could be kept as a trump card, but Lin Ye didn't understand why the organization's research project would appear in the form of a system card.

Lin Ye remembered that he had obtained an Observatory Access Card before. There seemed to be some kind of connection between them.

'Looks like that Observatory Access Card isn't simple either.'

Lin Ye put away the Access Card and checked the time.

"It's about time for lunch."

Lin Ye brought along the animals in the shelter and prepared to head to the Rest Area for some food.

............................................................

Lin Ye sat up from the soft, large bed in his pajamas. Several pets were sprawled on his bed. Little Black had been losing weight recently and had become much smaller.

"You're awake. Do you want to eat first?"

Xiao Bai stood by the bed looking at Lin Ye, as if she had been standing there waiting for orders the whole time.

"Yeah, today I plan to find a place here to sleep for a bit."

Lin Ye had thought about this before. He wanted to try entering that Dream World while in a safe Rest Area.

"How about the seaside? You could do some fishing there."

Xiao Bai stroked the belly of the little shark that had flipped over and handed Lin Ye a flyer.

The flyer showed a promotional image of the beach.

"That works too."

Lin Ye grabbed the little dog that was bouncing around everywhere, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and changed into a flashy pair of shorts and a vest.

The Scapegoat and Little Black were much more well-behaved. They had already gotten used to coming here to eat.

A white bug was perched on Little Black's head. Lin Ye occasionally watered this bug. Lately, it had grown a bit and looked rather plump.

The little shark slid across the floor, seemingly very adapted to the land environment.

Xiao Bai drove them to the seaside. The beach in the Rest Area looked perfectly normal. The seawater was crystal clear down to the bottom, the sand was soft and fine, and the weather was just right—not too cold, not too hot—perfect for fishing and swimming.

There were many restaurants near the sea that processed seafood. Xiao Bai had already booked a spot.

Compared to river fish, Lin Ye preferred seafood because it had fewer bones.

He didn't really need to worry about that issue anymore. Even the bones of high-tier spiritual energy creatures would have a hard time piercing his throat.

Little Black also loved eating seafood, meowing happily as it ate.

The little dog and the Scapegoat would eat anything, while the little shark clearly preferred roasted meat.

After finishing a lavish seafood feast, Lin Ye lay down on a lounge chair by the seaside. Under the gentle sunlight and sea breeze, he closed his eyes.

He fell asleep quickly, but he didn't sense that Dream World.

After lying by the sea for an hour, Lin Ye opened his eyes and sat up from the lounge chair.

Taking the iced drink Xiao Bai handed him, Lin Ye patted the Scapegoat that was sleeping on top of him.

The little shark, the little dog, and Little Black were all swimming in the sea. Little Black had grown much larger, looking like a small black island in the water.

After finishing his juice, Lin Ye picked up the fishing rod, walked to a reef by the beach, and cast his line.

The system rarely had loopholes. Lin Ye had wanted to try entering a safe Dream World here, but it seemed that wasn't possible.

Not long after, Lin Ye pulled up a treasure chest shimmering with a bright golden light from the seawater.

"You can fish up treasure chests here too?"

Lin Ye opened the chest and found a hardcover book inside.

"Yeah, this is part of the entertainment facilities. Different colored chests contain entertainment items of varying quality."

Xiao Bai, sitting beside Lin Ye, explained.

"They have books like this here too?"

Lin Ye picked up the hardcover book and took a look.

"Many Survivors enjoy this kind of book. Some Survivors even buy them at high prices. It's not that you can't dream in the Rest Area. If you put this book under your pillow, you'll dream about the content inside."

Xiao Bai held the Scapegoat, stroking its wool.

"I definitely don't want to dream about this kind of random crap."

Lin Ye tossed the book onto the chair beside him. The cover of the book was painted with a group of ragged-looking men.

"This series is quite popular. Many male Survivors enjoy this book."

Xiao Bai replied calmly.

"...I guess that's just the diversity and differences of living beings."

Lin Ye swung the fishing rod and pulled up treasure chests of different colors from the seawater. Inside were various entertainment items, including snacks, miscellaneous items, books, and even a game console that could be controlled with one's mind.

After another hour of fishing for chests, Lin Ye finally left the seaside with his pets and returned to the hotel room.

The items from the chests were all placed in a corner of the room. Little Black and the little dog seemed quite taken with the game console.

Under Xiao Bai's watchful gaze, Lin Ye lay down on the soft, large bed, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into another world.

............................................................

Back on the hard plank bed in the shelter, Lin Ye pushed Little Black, who was lying on top of him, aside and sat up.

It was still early. Lin Ye entered the spiritual energy workshop and began studying the special items he had obtained earlier.

He studied until 4:30 PM, then tended to the plants and animals in the shelter for a while before starting to prepare dinner.

After dinner was ready, Lin Ye opened the Group Chat and the Music Box and began to eat.

(465746/1000000)

"I finally managed to snag one!"

"Holy crap! They were all snapped up the second they appeared! Are you people even human?!"

"Is there any big shot willing to sell me one?"

"What are you guys talking about? Did I miss something again?"

"Bro Lin put up a batch of spiritual energy items and spiritual energy cards in the trading area. They were sold out the instant they went up."

"Most useful my mental energy and hand speed have ever been."

"Damn, if your hand speed and reaction time aren't fast enough, you'll never get one!"

"Ever since I used the high-tier spiritual energy items Bro Lin made, I've been keeping the trading area open as long as I'm in the shelter."

"Has Bro Lin started replicating system cards?"

"He started that a while ago. He released a batch before."
