Chapter 59
Chapter 59: Ke Li Nuo Grasslands 3
Ling Mo steadied her expression and offered a restrained smile. “It’s fine. Like I said, I’m good at collecting trash.”
Then she stepped inside.
The door closed behind her with a soft sound.
In front of her was a mountain of “trash.” Some of it hadn’t even been removed from the shipping boxes.
A quick scan made her whistle inwardly. This family had spent a fortune, and a lot of it was still brand new.
She picked up a white bag and opened it.
Inside was an unopened bag of candy, full to the brim.
“Qie Man,” she asked, “what is this?”
“Energy candy. It can quickly provide the body with needed energy, but it is not recommended to eat too much. It can cause weight gain.”
It sounded a lot like nutrient solution—quick energy, slight downside. Still good stuff.
And there was a whole pile of it.
Ling Mo checked the date. It wasn’t even close to expiring.
Why would they throw this out?
Then she remembered Qie Man’s warning. Not recommended for people with weak willpower.
She suddenly understood.
She opened a few more packages. Most of them were food.
It was obvious this family truly loved eating. A huge portion of the pile was snacks, and sweets dominated.
Eventually, Ling Mo stopped checking. She just collected everything and decided she’d sort it later when she had time.
Half an hour later, she walked back out.
The rabbit mother stared, red eyes wide, at the spotless storage room. “You really are amazing,” she said with genuine admiration. “You’re the best waste handler I’ve ever hired. The reward I prepared doesn’t even begin to match what you accomplished. Please wait a moment.”
She hopped away, then returned only a few minutes later.
“This is a specialty of our rabbit folk,” she said, handing over a package. “Energy bar. It’s similar to nutrient tonic, but it tastes better.”
An unexpected bonus.
Ling Mo accepted it with a smile, thanked her, and headed to the next household.
The next rabbit family was also addicted to shopping, but unlike the previous one, their purchases were wildly varied. Ling Mo even spotted a brand-new set of fishing gear.
“You really don’t want any of this?” she asked again, because it all looked expensive.
A fashionably dressed rabbit snorted. “Don’t want it. Take it all.”
Then they muttered under their breath, “Out with the old, in with the new.”
Ling Mo finally realized these rabbit beastmen weren’t just wealthy—they were absurdly wealthy. What normal household could afford to waste like this?
But that made things perfect for her.
She went into full collecting mode.
At first, curiosity got the better of her, and she peeked into a few packages. These were interstellar products, unfamiliar and intriguing.
But once she realized how much there was, she stopped wasting time. She wrapped boxes in mental power and swept everything straight into her pocket space without even looking.
In the beginning, she’d been thrilled at every find.
After a while, she calmed down.
A treasure felt precious largely because it was rare.
But the entire rabbit folk seemed to share an extreme passion for online shopping. Everyone was a shopping addict, and everyone’s addiction took a different form.
Some loved food, so they bought mountains of snacks and forgot about them until the storeroom overflowed.
Some decided they wanted to get fit, bought exercise equipment and health foods, and then… well.
By the time Ling Mo had visited every rabbit household, the sun was already dipping toward the horizon, and she was sweating from exhaustion.
The elderly rabbit beastman approached with a kindly smile, thanked her, then lifted his cane and tapped the badge on her chest.
A small gray segment around the smiley lit up bright white.
Then he handed her another package. Inside were neatly arranged energy bars.
“Consider this extra pay.”
Ling Mo accepted them eagerly. She’d already collected plenty today, but who would ever complain about more?
One bar could replace an entire day’s meals. If she brought these back and sold them, people would lose their minds.
“By the way,” she asked, “do you know where else I can find beastmen? I really need work.”
The old rabbit thought for a moment, then pointed. “Go that way. If you keep walking, you’ll reach two-tailed catfolk territory. You can ask there.”
Ling Mo bowed her head slightly. “Thank you.”
The old rabbit waved her off. “Nights on ke li nuo grasslands are dangerous. Stay near the village tonight and leave tomorrow.”
Ling Mo paused, then nodded. “Alright. Thanks for the warning.”
She found a tree near the village and settled in.
Once night fully fell, she understood exactly what the old rabbit meant.
Night was when most wild beasts hunted. If she traveled alone, she’d be easy prey.
With both color-changing contacts and sunglasses, even in total darkness, Ling Mo could still see clearly.
Just then, Qie Man’s voice sounded.
“Detected usable resource: sweetglow firefly. The most common insect on ke li nuo continent. Weak, highly fertile, extremely resilient. Likes sweets and emits light at night.
“The sweeter the food fed to sweetglow firefly, the stronger the light it emits. Maximum output: ten watts.”
Ten watts?
That was basically a walking lightbulb.
Ling Mo searched around but saw nothing. With Qie Man’s guidance, she finally noticed a thumb-sized insect hidden in the grass. Its abdomen gave off a faint, barely visible glow.
She pulled out an unopened bag of white sugar, tore it open, poured a little sugar into her palm, and held it out.
The sweetglow firefly latched on and ate frantically. As it consumed the sugar, the light in its abdomen grew brighter and brighter—until it flooded the area around her, bright as day.

Ling Mo thought transmigrating meant a stress-free life—eat, sleep, and lie flat until the credits rolled.
Then she sat bolt upright on the verge of death and realized she’d grabbed the...
