Chapter 12 Nightmares

Seeing that the sea monster was only level 1, Lu Chenxi couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that even if she didn’t win, with the protection of the defensive necklace and bracelet, the two of them wouldn’t be in any great danger.

After the sea monster submerged, there was no movement for a while, but Lu Chenxi didn’t let her guard down, her eyes fixed on the surface of the sea.

Sure enough, after about half a minute, the sea monster, which had been out of sight, suddenly surged out of the water, its blood basin mouth open, attacking Lu Chenxi.

“Now!” Lu Chenxi seized the opportunity and thrust the fish spear deep into the sea monster’s throat.

The level 1 fish spear was quite powerful, the sea monster twitched a few times before losing its breath.

The slain sea monster automatically decomposed into [Edible Fish Meat x5, Sharp Teeth x4, Fish Skin x1], this survival world was still quite humane.

Seeing the sea monster decompose into a pile of supplies, Lu Chenxi dared to exhale the breath she had been holding, only to feel her legs go weak.

She forced herself to turn around and saw that her sister, who had been protected by her, was already scared silly.

Lu Chenxi quickly hugged Chenyue tightly, feeling a sense of relief at having her back.

She was grateful that she had received the defensive necklace in time today, otherwise, Lu Chenxi didn’t know if she would be able to see her sister again.

Chenyue, who was tightly held by her sister, slowly recovered, and could no longer hold back her tears, she burst into tears: “Woooo, woooo.”

Lu Chenxi comforted her sister: “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, the monster just now has been killed by your sister, thanks to the fish spear Chenyue got, it helped your sister defeat the monster.”

Chenyue was only 7 years old, she hadn’t realized that it was a matter of life and death just now, she was simply afraid of the ugly sea monster.

Now seeing her sister kill the sea monster in a few moves, she felt that the sea monster wasn’t so scary anymore.

Nestled in her sister’s arms, she hiccuped and said, “Sister is the best, next time Chenyue will get a more powerful weapon for sister, and eliminate all the monsters that scare Chenyue.”

Seeing her sister say this, Lu Chenxi quickly replied: “Okay, sister is waiting for Chenyue’s weapon, to eliminate all the monsters.”

Actually, Lu Chenxi was still very worried at this time, she had been taking care of Chenyue alone for more than a year, so she knew a lot about children.

Many children, after being frightened, may experience frequent crying and restlessness, decreased appetite, lethargy, and even severe cases may experience convulsions, fever, and other symptoms.

On Blue Star, during the time when her mother passed away, Chenyue often woke up in the middle of the night from nightmares, Lu Chenxi had to deal with her mother’s funeral while taking care of her sister, she was exhausted both physically and mentally.

But although she was very worried, Lu Chenxi couldn’t do anything for the time being, she could only spend more time with Chenyue, and for a short time, she wouldn’t let Chenyue act alone.

Not in the mood to do anything else, Lu Chenxi simply carried her sister back to the room, not forgetting to put the supplies dropped by the sea monster into the space before leaving.

Back in the hut, Lu Chenxi felt much safer and silently decided to upgrade the house to level 3 as soon as possible.

Putting her sister on the bed, Lu Chenxi planned to tell her sister some interesting fairy tales to distract her.

“Are there any kids who want to hear the story of Snow White?”

“Sister, Chenyue wants to hear,” sure enough, Chenyue’s eyes lit up when she heard Snow White, this was a fairy tale that Chenyue never tired of hearing.

Before Mom was still around, she would often tell Chenyue bedtime stories at night, and after Mom left, I continued to tell them.

It’s been a few days since we entered the game world, because we were very tired during the day, Chenyue didn’t need bedtime stories at night, she would fall asleep right away, so she hasn’t heard her favorite Snow White in the past few days.

Lu Chenxi patted Chenyue’s back while slowly speaking: “Long ago, in a distant kingdom, there lived a king and queen, they longed for a child…”.

Listening to her sister’s gentle voice, her frightened body slowly relaxed, the story wasn’t finished yet, Chenyue fell asleep.

Lu Chenxi watched Chenyue sleep soundly, her own body, which had been holding on, also ached all over, and she fell asleep soon after.

She hadn’t slept for long when she was awakened by a cry, she looked over and saw that Chenyue was fast asleep, her face covered in tears, muttering “sister” in her sleep.

It was obvious that the little girl was having a nightmare, Lu Chenxi quickly hugged her sister and gently patted her back, coaxing her: “Sister is here, Chenyue, don’t be afraid, sister is always with you.”

After a while, Chenyue calmed down again, she didn’t dare to sleep anymore, Lu Chenxi stayed with her sister, afraid that she would continue to have nightmares, and sure enough, for a while, Chenyue was scared to tears by nightmares several times.

When the sky was getting dark, Lu Chenxi looked at the time, it was already dinner time, she hesitated for a moment whether to wake her sister up or let her continue to sleep, and finally chose to wake her up for dinner.

She took out the food she had made at noon and gently woke Chenyue up.

Chenyue woke up with a listless expression, she didn’t have much of an appetite, she only managed to eat half a bowl of rice, and Lu Chenxi fed her spoon by spoon.

After finally finishing the meal, Chenyue was still sleepy because she had just slept, so she didn’t feel like sleeping for a while.

It was dark outside and they couldn’t go out of the house, there were no entertainment activities, not to mention Chenyue, even Lu Chenxi felt bored.

So they simply opened the system panel together and looked to see if there were any supplies worth exchanging.

[Trading Center]

[(Socks x1) Trade (Food 300g)]

[(Rabbit Meat 200g) Trade (Water 500ml)]

[(Wild Pear) Trade (Flint x1)]

[(Sand x10) Trade (Food 500g)]

…..

A few days had passed, and the information in the trading center was visibly richer, Lu Chenxi’s original intention of entering the trading center was to find some supplies to upgrade the house to level 3 as soon as possible, so she quickly traded for the supplies she needed.

Most of them wanted to trade for food and water, and Lu Chenxi happened to have a lot of food and water, especially since she had just killed the sea monster and dropped 5 pieces of fish meat, although there were only 5 pieces, but each piece was 30 pounds, more than enough for trading.

After a flurry of operations, Lu Chenxi successfully traded for [Sand x20, Stone x20, Iron x2], she was overjoyed that she had gathered some of the materials needed to upgrade the house.

Chenyue, who was beside her, pulled on her sister’s clothes and pointed to her own system panel to show her sister.

Yes, Lu Chenxi could see her sister’s system panel, later when she was studying the system panel, she discovered that minors could authorize their teammates to view their system panel, which was another humane aspect of the system.

Just when Lu Chenxi thought her sister had found something good, she hurried over to take a look, good heavens, she exclaimed “good heavens”.
