Chapter 15: A Shy Person Also Wants to Communicate With Others
Anyway, let’s have a party!!
Meat party!!
Ahhahaha, it’s raw meat, fresh meat! The strong smell of blood fills the air, and it feels slippery to eat! There might even be parasites, ahhahaha! Speaking of which, I guess I could be considered a bug too.
Boohoo… I really want to have a barbecue…
While crying, Lin Yu opened her mouth and fiercely tore off a piece of raw pork.
Squish, squish…
As soon as I entered, a bloody smell filled my mouth, so overpowering that I could even taste it with every breath.
Yuck!
Smack, smack…
Yuck!
Smack, smack…
Yuck!
/Experience gained, conditions met, level up.
/Level LV.4 increased to LV.5, all stats restored.
/Choose one of three blessings: ① Health Value Limit +10 ② Magic Value Limit +5 ③ Strength +1
At the moment of upgrading, I suddenly felt full.
Lin Yu put down the nearly half-eaten piece of meat and wiped her face where no tears existed.
More strength.
Strength…
No! I don’t need strength!
Analyzing the battle between the big bear and the pack of wolves, it’s clear that strength is primarily a way to enhance close combat power. This means that boosting this power is specifically intended for fighting close!
Close combat? Fighting? I don’t want that!
Relying on the school princess to fight monsters herself? I might feel so weak that I can hardly stand!
I only chose strength before to test it, so…
Please choose your blessing.
Ugh! I was just about to say okay!
Hmm, I want the second one!
Blessing confirmed.
Lin Yu checked her current Status Panel again.

My Health Value is only 10 points… It feels incredibly dangerous. If one of those Granville Wolves bites me, I might not survive the attack.
It seems that if I want to level up next, I should think about increasing my Health Value.
But speaking of the first day, it was a great harvest!
Even though it looks like there is only one little pig and half a yellow pig,
If I save the food carefully and use a strategy of alternating between starving and eating meat to level up, this raw meat should be enough to feed the entire ant colony for over ten days.
After all, my mom’s body, which had so little meat, could keep the whole ant colony going for eight or nine days.
However, we still cannot let our guard down; the food supply is still not enough!
Lin Yu looked at the ant hole that had been enlarged three times.
The bones left of the body that Mom had completely eaten were already thrown out. Now, even though there were more than twenty Weak Ants inside the ant hole and a large pile of fresh, red meat next to it, the room still looked very empty.
Our next goal is to fill half of the ant hole with food. Yes, then we can safely do that kind of thing.
That’s right, that kind of thing! Hmph, I will not be foolish enough to say it out loud again.
Ants only have one life, so I will not take risks if there is not enough food!
…
It was nighttime.
At that moment, news came from the Weak Ant at the cave entrance that the bear was returning to the stone cave.
The focus shifted to the Weak Ant, and Lin Yu noticed that the returning bear didn’t have any prey in its mouth, its expression clearly unhappy.
Did it not catch up with the wolf pack?
That lead wolf is not dead, huh? Well, it’s pretty skilled.
Speaking of the time when it returned to the cave and ran into the wolf pack, that… um, is it called a toothy brown bear? It also didn’t bring back any prey then… so does that mean it failed its hunt today?
Great! Since it failed to hunt, it will definitely go out hunting again, right?
Let’s take advantage of its time away from the cave to keep exploring! Also, we can let the other Weak Ants that stayed behind start digging tunnels, hopefully leading outside the cave.
This way, if something unexpected happens, there will be an emergency escape route, and even if the bear stays in the cave, the exploration teams can leave through other tunnels.
Then we won’t have to worry about food at all! Hahaha!!
Thinking about how the toothy brown bear outside the ant nest not only failed its hunt and went hungry but also got beaten up by the wolf pack made Lin Yu feel really good.
She looked at the twenty or so Weak Ants standing idly inside the cave. By the way, the entrance of the ant hill had been under the watch of two Weak Ants, taking turns to keep an eye out, so there were only 28 Weak Ants in the cave at the moment.
Um, everyone must be hungry too?
There was no response, but Lin Yu did not expect them to reply.
She talked to herself.
Anyway, let’s eat something! If I eat alone, it can’t be called a meat party.
“Well, this time we managed to catch so much meat, and everyone has contributed. The biggest hero is… Captain Ant? No, the biggest hero is me! But Captain Ant did help a lot, so please come forward to receive your reward!”
Following Queen Ant’s instructions, the LV.7 D Qualification Weak Ant stepped forward.
Here, this is your portion.
Lin Yu held a small piece of meat with her forelegs and offered it to Captain Ant.
Hey, hey, what kind of look is that? Don’t push your luck!
You can’t think about having a big feast! If you eat too much, it will be a waste. Cough, we need to be careful with our resources, okay? This is the first lesson your mom is teaching you today!
In fact, the Weak Ants, lacking self-awareness, didn’t understand what their mother was doing at all. They didn’t even give a second thought to her actions, behaving as though they were made of wood.
Under her control, Captain Ant also reached out with her two front legs to take that small piece of meat.
Hmm, everyone clap your hands!
Scared, scared, scared…
The Weak Ants raised their two front legs to clap as instructed.
Hmm? The sound is too quiet, I can’t hear it!
Scared, scared, scared!
That’s more like it, next!
Another Weak Ant “walked” forward and took a smaller piece of meat.
Then came the third one…
The fourth one…
After that…
Never mind, you can go get it yourselves.
So boring… What am I even doing?
Even though I’m a loner, it wouldn’t be bad if someone could talk to me once in a while.
Lonely? I’m not lonely at all!
But I have this lovely group of children with me, so I don’t feel lonely at all!
Lin Yu looked at the Weak Ants in front of her, who were nibbling on a small piece of meat.
Although they didn’t look as scary as spiders, they were not cute.
However, maybe because she was also an ant, Lin Yu had gotten somewhat used to their appearance.
She quietly watched the Weak Ants as they ate.
Why can’t you talk?
But even though I wish you could communicate with me, when the time comes, I might be too scared to speak.
I’m sorry, I have social anxiety.
