They are still monitoring the duo exploring the area. The duo got addicted to the game to the point that Lily and Yen made another rule not allowing anyone to stay online 24 hours straight. They can only play from 11 am to 12 pm

Of course, that updates upset the two, but there's nothing they can do. At this point, Fen is no longer angry at the culprit.

To the duo

"Master, I don't think this will work"

He said as he look at the wooden wall blocking the cave they use as shelter. Because this is now their shelter, they now spawn here.

"Have trust in your master"

He instantly has bad feelings about those words.

He awaited the bad thing to happen, but nothing happened. Perhaps his master is lucky this day.

"See? As I said, trust your master"

She said before eating some fruit.

But before she can finish munching on it, green larvae crawl out of the half-eaten fruit and instantly eat her head with speed before she can scream. The larvae grow bigger and are her body before bursting and turning into big wasps.

Her disciple is so shocked that he can even barely move.

Before the wasps' leaves, one goes on his side and stabs him with its stinger on the head.

He doesn't have the time to react because of shock.

Then finally the wasps' left.

A moment later they're back with dark faces.

"Let's find another place"

Her expression is unexplainable. Ever since she came here the inhabitants seem to decide that she will have all their bad luck.

They left the shelter in no time to find another one.

Back to the trio.

They're currently having a conversation since Marlyn told them she can now upgrade the system because there is now enough energy to do so.

But here's the catch. Once she upgrades she will have to choose between multiple features to choose once she upgrades. Marlyn also said there is an additional feature that will be unlocked that can help in creating virtual spaces, but it will be a secret until then.

They already narrowed down the options to the classical three options.

One is an outside sentry, a giant floating orb-like structure that can act like a shop where they can trade and sell VR glasses.

It also has other uses such as Marlyn can project herself there and enjoy. It also possesses a shield that can block any attack and also 4 laser cannons. And the added feature that can teleport users to the sentry when they are in danger.

The second is the mission feature. The system can provide random missions that can reward all sorts of things from precious to common. The rewards are random.

And the last one, the ability to release 4 beasts from the virtual space into the real world.

They talked and talked until, in the end, they decided to choose the first one for varieties of reasons.

After that Marlyn starts upgrading the system and of course eating her favorite roasted chicken. Nothing bad happens to her during the upgrade other than the fact that she wants to eat more chickens.

Speaking of chickens, they are growing a lot lately. One even got two colors now and even more a greater flavor but of course, they didn't eat that one.
