Chapter 10 The Newbie Protection Period is Over

“Hoh… hoh… hoh…” strange sounds, along with the scratching of claws against the wall, reached Lu Chenxi’s ears.

After a while, there was a “bang, bang, bang” sound of something hitting the door. It all made Lu Chenxi feel uneasy.

No matter how brave and independent she was, Lu Chenxi was still a 21-year-old girl. Faced with unknown dangers, she was now panicking.

Going out to check was impossible. She could only hold her sister tightly, a cold sweat breaking out on her back.

Lu Chenxi was now truly envious of her sister’s sleep quality. As long as she didn’t wake up, she wouldn’t hear these frightening sounds.

Fortunately, the Level 2 stone house was indeed very well-defended. Although the unknown creatures outside tried various methods, they couldn’t break through the house’s defenses.

She couldn’t sleep at all. Seeing that the monsters couldn’t get in, Lu Chenxi opened the system panel to check on other players:

“What’s going on? There are several wolves outside my house! It’s terrifying. Fortunately, I upgraded my hut. They shouldn’t be able to get in for a while. Otherwise, I would have been eaten by wolves today.”

“Wuwuwu, why can the sharks here grow legs and climb out of the sea?”

“Help! I was cut by a skeleton man. I’m bleeding profusely. Does anyone have any hemostatic medicine?”

“Ahhhh, save… “

“Everyone who hasn’t upgraded their hut, hurry up and upgrade it! I observed the monsters that appeared tonight. They should all be Level 1. As long as you upgrade your hut to Level 1, you’ll be safe.”

“I got a Level 1 broadsword from the sign-in today. I just used it to kill a monster. Those with weapons, cheer up! We’re going to die anyway, so we might as well fight!”

…

Looking at the continuous messages in the chat area, Lu Chenxi slowly calmed down her fear.

When the sky began to turn white, all the strange noises disappeared. Lu Chenxi finally couldn’t resist her fatigue and fell into a deep sleep.

Chenyue woke up first on the fourth morning. She wanted to wake up her sister, but seeing her sister sleeping soundly, with dark circles under her eyes, Chenyue decided to let her sister sleep.

She went to the toilet, drank some water, and then took her fishing rod to go outside to fish and look for treasure chests.

Lu Chenxi slept until almost noon. When she woke up, she didn’t see her sister.

She was startled. She hadn’t forgotten the strange noises from last night. She quickly ran out to check. Sure enough, she saw her sister sitting there quietly fishing.

As soon as Chenyue saw her sister come out, she ran to her side and said proudly, “Sister, guess if I caught any fish or treasure chests today?”

Lu Chenxi understood immediately when she heard her sister say that.

This little girl must have caught something good, so she wanted to be praised.

She was also in a playful mood, with a hint of amusement in her eyes, “I guess Chenyue didn’t catch anything because you didn’t call Sister today.”

Chenyue was not happy to hear this, “Humph, Sister, don’t underestimate me. I caught a big fish this morning, and two treasure chests!”

As she spoke, Chenyue took the items out of her space.

Lu Chenxi saw that it was true. In front of her appeared a cod weighing about 7 or 8 pounds, and a red and a yellow treasure chest.

“This morning I saw that Sister was very tired, so I didn’t wake her up and came out fishing by myself.”

Lu Chenxi truly felt that her sister had grown up. Not only could she understand her sister’s hardship, but she could also do many things within her ability.

She kissed her sister’s cheek and said, “Chenyue, you’re amazing! Sister is so surprised.”

“Humph, I’ll reluctantly forgive you, Sister,” Chenyue said proudly, her ears turning red.

“Then, Chenyue, would you be so kind as to open these two treasure chests?”

This was exactly what Chenyue wanted. After catching the treasure chests, she couldn’t help but want to open them and see what was inside. She had barely managed to suppress her curiosity and wanted to wait for her sister.

She quickly replied, “Okay, I love opening treasure chests!”

The red treasure chest yielded [Apples x10, Raincoat x2, Cotton Jacket x2, Shoes x2, Socks x10].

The yellow treasure chest yielded [Defense Necklace x1, Solar-Powered Lantern x1, Hemostatic Pills x3].

Lu Chenxi was already quite calm when she saw the items from the red treasure chest. She put everything away before carefully picking up the Defense Necklace from the yellow treasure chest and checking its description:

[

Defense Necklace: Level 2

Function: Wearing this necklace can resist all attacks from Level 3 or lower creatures (ineffective against attacks from Level 3 or higher creatures)

]

Lu Chenxi was very satisfied with the Defense Necklace. She quickly put it on her sister. After the terrifying events of last night, she was worried about her sister’s safety. This necklace greatly eased her anxiety.

But Chenyue wasn’t very happy when she saw her sister put the necklace on her. She knew that her sister always prioritized giving her the good things, but she also wanted to give good things to her sister. So she wanted to refuse her sister’s arrangement:

“Sister, why don’t you wear this necklace? Chenyue wants Sister to be safe too.”

Lu Chenxi’s heart warmed when she heard this. She refused, but she didn’t forget to thank her sister for her kindness: “Thank you, Chenyue, for caring about Sister. You wear this necklace for now. Next time you open a treasure chest and get something good, you can give it to Sister, okay?”

Then she smiled and said playfully, “If the treasure you get next time is better than this one, don’t fight with Sister for it, okay?”

Chenyue knew that her sister was just joking with her. She hummed in displeasure, “I wouldn’t do that. Sister, don’t bother me. I have to go to work.”

She was about to go back to fishing, but Lu Chenxi immediately pulled her back, “Not so fast. Did you eat anything when you woke up this morning?”

“I ate a piece of bread while fishing. I’m not hungry yet.”

Lu Chenxi heard that her sister had eaten breakfast and continued to ask, “Did you do your system sign-in today?”

Chenyue’s eyes lit up when she heard about the sign-in. She said, “Not yet. I came out fishing as soon as I woke up.”

She thought to herself, “Yes, I haven’t signed in today. Maybe I can sign in and get a treasure. Then I can give it to Sister.”

Then the sisters each signed in on their system panels:

[Daily Sign-in]

[Ding, congratulations to player Lu Chenxi for receiving the sign-in reward: Solar-Powered Lantern x1, Lollipop x5]

[Ding, congratulations to player Lu Chenyue for receiving the sign-in reward: Water Bucket x3, Defense Bracelet x1]

It has to be said that the luck of a lucky charm is truly amazing. It’s like she got what she wanted. Chenyue got her wish and put the Defense Bracelet on her sister.
