Chapter 16: Encountering Annie

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Osmond spread his dragon wings and glided. He found a pink rabbit by a boulder. It had long ears, a furry body, and a short tail.

At the same time, the rabbit also noticed him, its red eyes staring at him.

“Whoosh…”

In an instant, he descended from the sky and flew towards the rabbit.

The rabbit hurriedly turned around, hopped, and ran quite fast, trying to escape into a hole.

At this moment, he sped up and grabbed the rabbit.

The rabbit looked very flustered.

He grabbed the soft rabbit and looked as if he wanted to eat it in one bite.

Unexpectedly…

This rabbit actually started to speak to Osmond in his own language.

“Big boss, don’t eat me. I’m also a player.”

It was the voice of a female player.

In the weak breath, the voice trembled.

This stunned Osmond, but he had no intention of letting go. Instead, he grabbed even tighter.

“Survival of the fittest. If you are weak, you will be eaten.”

The rabbit became anxious and leaped. It seemed to be as fast as lightning. Osmond did not have time to react and the rabbit instantly escaped from the palm of his hand.

This rabbit was no match for Osmond in terms of strength and speed.

Soon, he caught her again.

Rabbit said fearfully.

“Big boss, please, don’t eat me.”

Her eyes revealed a painful and aggrieved look.

Osmond said.

“I caught you. How can I let you go just like that? Dream on.”

Rabbit hurriedly explained.

“My family is very rich. We have a lot of money. When we return to our previous world, I’ll give you half of it. I can even give you all of it.”

He sneered and spoke in a cold tone.

“It’s good to be hopeful. But do you really think that you’ll be able to survive for the entire time after I let you go?”

Rabbit hurriedly said, “I… I beg you, let me go.”

Looking at the rabbit’s pitiful expression, he hesitated.

Even if Osmond ate the rabbit, it wouldn’t increase his EXP by much. He could let her go, but it seemed better to recruit her to his team. Although she didn’t have much combat power, she should have no problem with gathering information.

Thus, Osmond said.

“I can let you go, but you have to join my team and listen to my arrangements. You’re not allowed to run around. How about that?”

Rabbit didn’t hesitate and quickly said, “Okay… okay, I’ll listen to you.”

With that, Osmond slowly let go.

The rabbit’s body was still trembling.

“Big… Big Boss, thank you for not killing me. I will do what I promised you.”

Osmond had always wanted to form his own team, and now Hill was the only member. Seeing that the rabbit was also very obedient, he pulled her into his team.

He pressed the golden bracelet and checked the rabbit’s data.

[Player: Annie]

[Race: Pink Diamond Rabbit (Demon Rabbit)]

[Attribute: Grass]

[Level: 6]

[Talent: Physical Attack 10, Physical Defense 10, Magic Attack 20, Magic Defense 20, Speed 50]

[Skills: Quick Movement, Hypnosis (Not Yet Activated), Light Barrier (Not Yet Activated)]

He did not expect her to be a grass-attribute Pink Diamond Rabbit that was the same level as him.

He had only reached Level 6 after killing the Giant Stone Python, the Thunderbolt Doves, and the Electric Web Spiders. He had also absorbed the energy of the Spirit Yellow Grass and the Spider King’s crystal. To think that this rabbit had also leveled up so quickly.

He was puzzled.

He asked coldly, “How did you level up so quickly?”

Annie calmed down and took a deep breath.

“I bought it with money.”

“What? Levels can be bought with money?”

He asked in surprise.

Annie explained, “That’s right. From the moment I came to this world, I fell into a mysterious shop. I found that I had 10 magic coins with me. There was an old man in the shop with a black headscarf. He told me that as long as I spent 10 magic coins, he would give me three stalks of Spirit Yellow Grass. The old man told me that every stalk of Spirit Yellow Grass I ate could instantly increase my level by two. I used the magic coins that I carried with me and took three stalks. After eating them, I increased my level to six.”

Apart from having a high speed talent, the Pink Diamond Rabbit’s attack and defense talents were very weak. She was born with 10 magic coins. This might have been set by the system to balance the survival rate of the Pink Diamond Rabbit.

The Mysterious Shop that Annie was talking about was the Limitless Shop that the system had notified him about at the start of the game. There, one could use Magic Coins to trade any items in the shop.

At the moment, no players knew where this shop was, and he had been searching everywhere.

This time, Osmond was shocked to hear about the shop from Annie.

Annie had already traded for the Spirit Yellow Grass that could instantly level up through the shop, so he naturally wouldn’t miss this opportunity to ask about the location of Limitless Shop.

He was secretly delighted and asked with some anticipation.

“Where is the Limitless Shop and how do I obtain magic coins? Did that old man tell you?”

Anne scratched her head thoughtfully and said.

“After eating the Spirit Yellow Grass, the old man used magic to move me here. At that time, I didn’t know where the shop was. He hadn’t told me how to obtain magic coins.”

Hearing Annie’s words, his initial anticipation turned into disappointment.

However, Osmond did not show it. He had always thought that the Limitless Shop was a gimmick made up by the system. He did not expect it to really exist. It was a little mysterious.

If what Annie said was true, he had gathered some information about Limitless Shop.

His attitude towards Annie was obviously much better than before. He was no longer so cold and began to treat Annie as a teammate.

He started chatting with Annie.

Osmond was warm and friendly to his teammates but cold and heartless to strangers he was not familiar with. That was his personality.

As a non-aggressive Pink Diamond Rabbit, Annie must have her own strengths to be able to survive in a place like the Boulder Ruins where the Goblins dominated.

Annie said to Osmond.

She relied on her extraordinary movement speed skill to shake off many predators. The moment she broke free from her enemies, she used the effect of [Quick Movement].

Among the hunters who hunted Annie, there were wolves, tigers, leopards, and vultures.

Among them, the worst were the goblins.

Goblins were not only interested in plundering, but they often destroyed the cave homes of animals like her.

Because the caves she lived in were often destroyed, she did not have a place to stay for long, so she kept looking for new caves.

Due to this, Annie, who was already at a disadvantage, was often exposed to other predators. The danger she faced when looking for new homes made her very resentful towards the goblins.
