"Sister Yun, what were you doing downstairs earlier?"
On the bed, Chen Mengjie, wearing a tank top, turned her head to look at Zhang Yun who had just entered, asking with some confusion. Then, noticing the package in Zhang Yun's hands, she exclaimed, "Sister Yun, did you buy something?"
Hearing Chen Mengjie's words, the other two girls in the dorm also looked over at Zhang Yun by the door.
"Sister Yun, did you buy snacks again?"
Song Ran, sitting on the bed opposite Chen Mengjie, brightened and stared fixedly at the package in Zhang Yun's hands. But upon seeing its flat, thin shape, she immediately lost interest.
That package in Zhang Yun's hands looked flat and slim, nothing like it would contain snacks.
"Mengjie, you're wrong. This is a delivery sent to me by someone else."
Zhang Yun said with a smile but added a teasing hint.
Seeing Zhang Yun like this, Chen Mengjie tapped her chin, then hesitated and asked, "Sister Yun, could it be that you have a boyfriend?"
At these words, Song Ran, who had just been disappointed, fixed her gaze intensely on Zhang Yun.
Even Meng Ning, who was in the lower bunk, looked at Zhang Yun with curiosity.
With the three girls' gossip burning brightly in their eyes, Zhang Yun's face stiffened. She rolled her eyes at Chen Mengjie and said irritably, "Mengjie, where did you get that from?"
"Forget it, I'll just tell you directly. This is a package sent to me by the editorial team of Legendary Magazine."
"Ha ha ha, Mengjie, Ranran, and Little Meng, the photo I took was accepted by Legendary Magazine. This is the sample issue they sent!"
Saying this, Zhang Yun happily held out the package.
"Really?"
Chen Mengjie's eyes lit up as she climbed down from the bed and took the package from Zhang Yun, opening it immediately.
Sure enough, inside was a sample issue of the magazine.
"It's real!"
Song Ran and Meng Ning also gathered around, amazed at the sample issue.
The four girls huddled together, glanced at the magazine's table of contents, and quickly flipped to the outdoor photography section.
On that page was a picture of a snake and a squirrel cuddling.
In the image, a gray snake was poking its head out of a tree hollow, looking out, and on its head was a squirrel staring timidly ahead.
Below the photo was the photographer's name:
Photographer: Zhang Yun.
"The editorial team of Legendary Magazine called earlier to say this issue has printed 50,000 copies and will start distribution to major tores in a few days."
Zhang Yun looked at the photo in the magazine and smiled, "Thanks to this snake and this squirrel, my submission was accepted. When we have time later, let's go back up the mountain to visit them again."
"Yeah!"
Chen Mengjie nodded heavily.
Since she had reached over 100,000 followers on the Green Bamboo Streaming Platform, and it was all because of that snake and squirrel, she wanted to thank them as well.
...
The injury on Bai Zhe's tail took five days to fully heal.
During those five days, Bai Zhe stayed low, only active within the dense thicket.
His hunting efficiency was low, and in those five days, he only gained 232 Evolution Points.
Fortunately, his body had recovered completely, and he could resume hunting somewhat larger animals.
By now, his total Evolution Points had reached 765.
If luck was on his side, he could complete the task within two days.
It was also worth mentioning that his Fame Points had increased recently, reaching 9,854, with a good chance to hit 10,000 soon.
This encouraged him greatly; he felt it wouldn't be long before he could upgrade the "Phosphorus Armor Resistance" skill again.
...
Staring at the sparse forest ahead, Bai Zhe hesitated, but ultimately resolutely crawled forward.
He had no choice—if he didn't hunt further afield, it might take several more days to complete the task, which was unacceptable for someone eager to evolve like him.
Slithering through grass and shrubs, Bai Zhe continuously moved forward.
An hour later, he had crawled nearly two kilometers but hadn't encountered any prey—he'd had no luck today.
Just then, he suddenly noticed a bird's nest in an elm tree ahead.
Climbing up, he found five eggs inside.
Each egg was about three millimeters in diameter.
According to the system's prompt, these were Great Gray Woodpecker eggs.
Because they were relatively large, the five eggs together provided ten Evolution Points.
Carefully climbing down the tree, Bai Zhe continued searching the forest for signs of prey.
He didn't wait long before spotting another target ahead.
A wild animal about the size of a wildcat was quietly squatting by a patch of grass, nibbling something.
From Bai Zhe's angle, more than half of the animal's body was visible.
It was about fifty centimeters long, its fur mostly yellow-gray-brown.
The head was darker, with a clear color band from forehead to nose bridge, and white spots below the eyes and ears.
Its mouth was somewhat protruding, resembling a small dog.
[Target locked: Masked Palm Civet! Devouring grants 150 Evolution Points.]
As Bai Zhe fixed his gaze on the small animal, the system sounded again, providing information about it.
"Oh, it's a Masked Palm Civet. But it actually grants 150 Evolution Points."
Bai Zhe was surprised but, after seeing its size, understood.
This Masked Palm Civet was quite plump—he guessed it weighed about ten jin (around 5 kg).
Even if Bai Zhe wanted to swallow it, it would take considerable effort.
Squinting his eyes, he slowly approached the civet.
Although its size made it difficult to consume, the 150 Evolution Points were extremely tempting.
He wanted to try whether he could swallow this Masked Palm Civet.
Of course, the premise was that he had to catch it first.
