0044 – Athena Trade With ck
In a simted scenario, all sensations are real, physical injuries won''t carry over to reality, but mental damage is unavoidable. She sat on the bed for quite some time, only breaking free from the fear and sensation of death.
Her initial reaction was toment the loss of her 100 silver coins. She hadn''t done anything, hadn''t even approached anyone, yet she was killed instantly.
That opponent''sbat power seemed way too overpowered!
However, the attack from the opponent was triggered only when she approached the city gate.
As long as she didn''t approach the gate and attempt to attack the city, she wouldn''t be subjected to the opponent''s attack.
But if she didn''t approach the opponent, what should she do when she entered?
Athena suddenly remembered the densely packed snowstorm beasts outside. Those snowstorm beasts wouldn''t attack her actively; they were good practice material.
Moreover, from entering the white space to being killed, more than a minute had passed. Yet when she came out, the clock''s hands had only advanced by one or two seconds from when she entered.
The flow of time was different, that was her conclusion.
If that was the case, it was undoubtedly an excellent training ground inside, which could elerate her growth and enrich herbat experience.
So, 100 silver coins were still worth it. Once she umted enough coins next time, she would train outside the city first, and when the time was right, she would enter the city.
She thought this process shouldn''t take long.
Although so far, her attribute points had almost reached the bottleneck value, shecked matchingbat skills andbat experience.
Her control and application of her body were also not good enough.
All of these needed enough time to umte. Having figured all this out, she nned to open the system panel. The three little ones who had been squatting beside her began to whimper.
Paopao even held onto the vegetable gift box, pleading with her with eyes full of hope. It was already past lunchtime, but Athena hadn''t remembered this at all, having just eaten a big meal. She took the vegetable gift box from Paopao''s hand, opened it, and checked inside. There were bamboo shoots, tomatoes, celery, and various other vegetables, but not inrge quantities.
"Let''s just make do with these for lunch today."
She handed the bamboo shoots that Paopao had been longing for to it, then gave the carrots to Witty, and took out some jerky from her system backpack, which she had reserved earlier, and gave it to Mikmik. After solving their food problem, although Athena didn''t feel hungry, she still ate two raw tomatoes.
Then she opened the system panel.

-- This is outrageous, why can''t these monster corpses just not disappear? That''s meat too!
-- Look at what good stuff I''ve looted, my source of happiness, C!
-- To the one who stayed on the roof, how did you kill the fire leopard?
-- I didn''t kill it, I just let it into the house, and by the way, I set up some small mechanisms inside the house and locked them up. Anyway, as long as the wooden house isn''t destroyed and I''m not killed, it''s fine. It''s not like it''s forbidden to let monsters into the house.
-- Howe my evaluation is only C-grade?
-- You''re really a genius, with such a unique mindset. Letting monsters into the house, you''re the first!</td>

Athena also felt admiration for the audacity of this person. Most people wouldn''t dare to do such a thing. Who knows if after the monsters entered, they would be judged as failing directly?
Opening her own trading interface, there were many people showing interest in trading for the ck phosphorus snake she had listed earlier.
After all, having a snake-like monster as a pet was quite cool. She quickly scrolled through the trade conditions and offers provided by this group of people until she saw a familiar name.
[ ck ].
Ranked second in the region. Even Athena asionally popped up in the regional chat channel, but this guy had never shown any activity. If it weren''t for seeing him on the leaderboard, Athena wouldn''t even know such a person existed.
She epted the friend request from the other party.

The other party canceled the wood and stone blocks and reduced the silver coins but offered a blueprint for a basic Ice Attribute Defense Tower.
The conditions offered were eptable under normal circumstances, as such blueprints were not usually avable even with money.
However, Athena''s ck phosphorus snake was the only one. If used properly, the ck phosphorus snake could also be abat force, capable of autonomousbat.

Athena now had an extra blueprint on hand, the silver coins had been automatically deposited into the system, and she also received 50 pieces of ore.
The ck also received the sheepskin parchment containing the ck phosphorus snake.
In the ink painting on it, the ck phosphorus snake was sleeping soundly. It felt like being shaken awake, and upon opening its eyes, it found itself in a strange environment.
It had escaped from the humanoid creature''s hand, but ended up in the hands of another male humanoid creature.
The ck bit its fingertip, letting the blood drip onto the sheepskin parchment. The ck phosphorus snake, depicted in ink on the parchment, transformed from a virtual state to a tangible one, leaving the parchment.
Gradually, there was a faint light around it. Its tail, which had been severed halfway, began to rapidly regenerate, returning to its original form.
The golden blood began to merge with the man''s red blood, ultimately returning to the ck phosphorus snake''s body.

The ck phosphorus snake''s emerald eyes showed less fear. It looked at ck with softened eyes. ck waved at it, and the ck phosphorus snake obediently spat out a fresh red snake fruit and crawled to his feet. It climbed up his arm and rested its head on his shoulder.
