14 Level 4 System

For the next few days, Zhou Lin did not come out of the crater. He just stayed inside and trained his body.

Despite the several strengthenings from the system and the fruits, he still didn't know how to use his body very well.

Daily training like bending, squatting, sit-ups, and running around the crater became very useful.

Some of the plants grew and were harvested, many experience points were collected, but it was still far from the 5000 points needed.

But that didn't shake his confidence.

The waiting time would be worth it.

Hissing sounds could be heard for a time, and the giant snake was seen in the sky trying to hunt down its prey before returning.

Zhou Lin was very scared because of the snake's size. He's never seen anything like it before.

The second egg was hatched the next day after being placed in the incubator.

The mutant cockroach was not big, but small like a puppy. The appearance was like a blue beetle with red and green stripes. The look was cute, but a little weird.

The mutant fish grew the next day after eating so many Mutant Lettuce leaves. Its frightening appearance was like that of a shark, but with horns on its head and thorns around its body.

For some reason, these mutant creatures were quite docile to Zhou Lin and acted like pets. But he didn't think these things were so docile if they were in front of some other mutated creature or person.

This was happening because Zhou Lin fed and played with them every day and quite often.

After seven days, the Mutant Orange tree has finally grown and some fruits can be seen. But a strange thing was happening.

Zhou Lin knew the mutant tree was strange, but he didn't know what it was. He only found out after the tree had fully grown.

The Mutant Orange tree was alive. It swung the branches from side to side and could also move, but the roots were deep and made this difficult to do.

When he tried to take one of the fruits, the tree branches attacked Zhou Lin as if it was pushing a thief away.

The only way he could have gotten one of the fruit was to convince the tree to give the fruit. Or sprinkle with a little water.

Which was a very strange thing to see.

…

Time passed slowly and the plantations got bigger.

Zhou Lin spent a month inside the crater to raise his farm along with the mutant creatures.

The experiences gained from harvesting the fruit were greater than building something. But it would still take a long time before he could level the system to level 4.

Fruits and vegetables give his body a lot of energy and improvement. That was the only good thing about staying in the crater.

Mutant animals also got stronger and more ferocious by eating these things every day.

Plantations grew as there was more seed to do this.

After three months, the entire crater was covered with plants.

…

In the sixth month of isolation inside the crater…

Zhou Lin was sitting on the floor and looking at the system.

The experience bar was almost full.

4950/5000

There were only fifty experience points left to level, but there are still a few seconds before the Mutant Strawberry can be collected.

The three mutant animals were pacing back and forth as if they were playing.

The mutant dog did not grow, but its appearance was more ferocious and powerful than before. Eating mutant foods was very nutritious for him.

It wasn't just the dog that went through big changes, the mutant cockroach and the mutant eagle also went through big changes. Their sizes were more than ten times larger than before.

If Zhou Lin hadn't seen the two creatures grow, he would have thought they weren't the same things.

02... 01... 00

"Now, I can level the system to level 4." Zhou Lin walked to the Mutant Strawberry tree.

An ordinary strawberry tree was very small, but it had many strawberries to be picked. But the situation was a little different for Strawberry Mutant.

The tree was six feet tall and thick as an elephant's leg, but there was only one yellow strawberry. The strawberry was as big as a water polo ball.

roar!!! roar!!!

The mutant animals were happy to smell the strawberry, they showed happy faces and ran to the tree in hopes of eating some after it was picked. Even the mutant fish was flapping its fins fiercely to show that it wanted some too.

The instant the fruit was picked, the system rang.

ding... ding...

"Congratulations on leveling the system to level 4"

"The host received a physical improvement"

"The host has enabled new options to select"

"The host received an Extra Gift Box"

A hot, powerful energy spread through Zhou Lin's body and strengthened him.

The strengthening was several times greater than the previous one.
