Chapter 169: A Bitter Journey Through Culture
Translator: Pluto Editor: Verry now] Lin Sanjiu thought to herself The only sound she could hear fro sound When Lin Sanjiu opened her eyes, she realized that it wasn't pitch-dark like she iy white Occasionally, a large h she felt a little guilty forher coer and started searching for the half-eaten cup noodles from her card inventory The items which she converted into cards would be preserved in the very state before they were converted As a result, when she converted the cup noodles back to its original stearance of seafood wafted into her nose Before she left, Lin Sanjiu hung a backpack full of food, enough for half a month, on the waist of the robot doll so she wasn’t worried that the three people outside would starve
Judging from her body condition, another day had passed since she entered the network of tree roots When she was first sucked into the root, Lin Sanjiu had the same awful experiences that the others described Sticky, viscous slime mixed with numerous uncuttable tiny roots assaulted her face, like thick sheets of wet paper She felt a slight itchy feeling in her ears, eyes, and nose and knew that the roots were trying to burrow into her body
By then, she had been cut off froen, she had to inhale deeply to snatch the pockets of oxygen within the slime Inadvertently, this action also created an unimpeded path for the thin roots Soon, she felt an intense, burning pain in her lungs She wondered if so had already burrowed into thes lost interest in her immediately
As the unco pain, daradually ebbed, shewhite root peeked out from her nostril This was accompanied by an unbearable itch before the white root finally swa white sli her ability to suck hot noodles into herher body on that condition, Lin Sanjiu felt that she grew psychologically stronger once again
The reason she could eat her noodles leisurely was all thanks to the capsule she kept during the Lunar New Year Tournament
She converted her capsule into a card to escape from the match back then As the various events unfolded, she stored ot that she had the capsule with her
If it wasn’t for that thought—"It’d be nice if I could place myself in a box"—that drifted into her hazy , Lin Sanjiu would still be suffering right now
It was a pleasant surprise for her to discover that the slight corrosive nature of the sli along for quite a long tiht with only a few tiny scratches
Maybe, the roots felt that this capsule with Lin Sanjiu had no nutritional value As she drifted through the slime, Lin Sanjiu noticed that the slime attempted to push her capsule outward two to three ti inside, so she wasn’t about to let the tree roots ‘vo, she would store her capsule back in her body before taking out her saber Each time, she would stab her saber into the thick white epider that for a few ti able to sense pain, the roots seen object so it had no choice but to accept it into the sliain and transport it with the other ‘nutrients’ toward an unknown direction
Putting down the empty noodle cup, Lin Sanjiu looked at the rope she tied outside through the capsule’s walls She got that idea not long ago Observing the e the direction she was heading At thatin the sliht a hint of its upwarddoard?]
She looked up with uncertainty Waves of viscous slih the flow speed wasn’t that fast, Lin Sanjiu had already been in the root for an entire day If the flow speed was 2 kilometers per hour, she was probably 50 to 60 kilometers deep
However, the white interior of the roots re doard as if it was heading to the very core of the planet
In such depths, Lin Sanjiu could do nothing but wait in her capsule The tree root that accommodated her had become her lifeline: if this tree root was suddenly disappeared, or accidentally pushed her out, Lin Sanjiu would be trapped under the deep dark layers of soil and would be killed by the surrounding pressure before she died of suffocation
