寒风刮得正紧，林风搓着冻得发僵的双手，看着眼前这块孤零零的大石头，有点发愁。 stones, thorns, and desolate wilderness, this place was just too perfect for nothing to grow. Not even wild boars would dare come here.

"System, what should I do?" Lin Feng asked, rubbing his hands together rapidly to generate some warmth. The system replied coolly: "Collect resources, complete tasks, and accumulate experience."

Lin Feng grumbled inwardly. Collecting resources? With nothing but rocks and thorns in sight? It was like asking a fish to climb a tree. But he had no choice. The system was his only hope for survival in this world.

He started gathering the rocks, one by one, and tossing them into his pack. The system would occasionally prompt him with tasks, like collecting a certain number of rare herbs or hunting specific animals. But with nothing around, these tasks were impossible to complete.

He trudged through the wilderness for hours, getting colder and more frustrated. Just as he was about to give up, he heard a rustling sound in the bushes.
