Chapter 248 Winter's Surprise
Nothing indicated a connection to the delivery of these creatures.
He ruled out the possibility that the farming system was behind it.
Firstly, the system was integrated with him, and both the Cryo Wolf and the Starlight Armored Bugs were beneficial to the farm. There was no reason for the system to be so secretive. Secondly, the issue with the Starlight Armored Bugs was telling.
If the system had sent the Starlight Armored Bugs, it would have prepared suitable housing for them from the start. However, the farm buildings menu had no such options.
Kim Haru was confident the system wouldn't have made such an oversight if it were responsible for this.
"Forget it. If you can't figure it out, don't think about it," the Ginseng Spirit said nonchalantly. "I suspect that whoever is sending you these things must have some purpose. Eventually, they'll slip up and reveal themselves. You can deal with it then."
Kim Haru thought that made sense. He had no better options for now. It was the middle of winter, and there was no way he could follow the trail left by the Cryo Wolf and the Starlight Armored Bugs to investigate further.

"Bamboo shoots? Really? Where?"
Kim Haru's excitement was evident.
He had
Yet things didn't go as the others feared. They watched in disbelief as Go Okrim brushed the snow off a bamboo shoot and asked the Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree, "Kim Haru-hyung's been craving bamboo shoots for a while. Is this one tasty?"
Seriously? Who asks such a thing? Asking if someone's child is tasty right in front of them—is that even human behavior?
Then, to everyone's utter shock, the Unmelted Frost Bamboo Tree shook its stalk, extended a branch with a bamboo leaf, and brushed away snow from another pile, revealing a larger bamboo shoot. It even nodded.
No one needed a translator to understand what it meant: That one's not great. This one is much better.
