Chapter 18:Preparing To Sail (1/2)
As water had high heat capacity, the energy that it could have absorbed or released during temperature changes were vast. That meant there would not be huge temperature variations while living near the sea. It would have been warm during the winter and cool during the summer due to the sea breeze which helped to regulate the surrounding temperatures. One could get food from the ocean, and it helped that seawater could also be evaporated into salt.
Wei Huo had already begun constructing a cabin on the shore. He also found a suitable piece of land for farming and planted the Tree-Men's seeds before putting up a fence to protect it. He had done all he could, and whether the Tree-Men species could be revived was now up to those seeds.
However, there were also troubles at the seaside such as typhoons or tsunamis.
When the Northern continent arrived at its designated location, its drifting speed began decreasing which triggered yet another strong earthquake. If it was not for Wei Huo who had set up wooden piles on the coast in advance, the farming land he had reclaimed could have been washed away.
The earthquake's magnitude which recently occurred was not too great, measuring around 7-magnitude. After the Northern continent slowed its drifting speed, the temperatures stopped dropping. It was even picking up again because spring had arrived.
After being busy for over 100 years, Wei Huo could finally enjoy life for the first time.
He laid down on the beach and basked in the sun. He was enjoying the sea breeze while looking at drifting clouds on the horizon when God's voice appeared again.
”Releasing 10,000 units of 'God's Envoy' artificial intelligence beings.
”Gameworld fine-tuning begins. The first test begins.”
Wei Huo was taken aback. He got up from the beach and realized that games were usually tested several times before they were officially launched. The most important part of these tests was to find flaws. Game companies would usually seek out professional players to test their game for any bugs. Based on the feedback from those gamers, they would then modify the game to make it more entertaining.
Wei Huo was taken aback. Were those 10,000 units of artificial intelligence beings deployed to test the game?
It was indeed very godly!
Just as God's voice disappeared, countless colorful rays of divine light fell from the skies and flew in the direction of the Central continent. God's voice could be heard again.
”The Central continent is officially open.”
The Central continent is open? Wei Huo could not help but stare in the southern direction. He could not miss the chance and had to get to the Central continent to find Magic Stones so that he could purchase those items in the Item Mall. He could no longer improve his Qi-Training Skill at the moment without the external help of natural treasures and precious Cultivation Resources Spots. It was indeed difficult to improve one's Qi Cultivation rank.
Although his current lifespan exceeded 500 years, who knew how long the time halt was going to last? What if it lasted for a thousand years or two?
He needed to get his hands on those Magic Stones. He had no choice but to continue his journey toward the Central continent!
Before he could begin his journey, he needed to build a boat to get to the Central continent. It must not be an ordinary boat either. It had to be a huge ship with sails, and it needed a compass as well.
Fortunately, God had already given players the basic ability to build long ago. Wei Huo did not know how to build cabins initially, but with that ability, he could do it as long as he found a cabin's blueprint among the icons. The cabin would then build itself by placing the blueprint on the floor together with materials needed on top of it. Was it not magical?
Yes, it was magical, but at the same time, it was a game. There was no need to dwell on the details so much.
It was no wonder that the blueprint icon also contained a blueprint for medium-sized sailboats as well as a blueprint for pirate ships. However, the materials needed to build them were not limited to only wood. Wei Huo dragged the blueprint of a pirate ship onto the seashore and watched as a faint outline of a sailboat appeared on the sea.
However, there were too many materials needed for that blueprint to be gathered that one or two days will not be enough.
That was not an issue for Wei Huo who had all the time in the world. He spent the next two decades collecting various materials for the ship.
The Fatty Tiger had changed vastly over the last two decades. Although it was still fat, it was getting lazier. At times, it would even lie on the coast and bask in the sun all day.
