Chapter 114 - Recruitment (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
By building a merchant caravan, not only could one earn Magical Stones, but one could also search for living humans. After the time halt, mankind’s situation became very difficult. Saving people was one problem.
Besides, Magical Stones were very important to humans. They did not need to trade powerful equipment or weapons. They only needed to trade blueprints. These things could allow humans to grow rapidly.
Wei Huo continued his journey. He tried his best to search for traces of humans, but after 500 years, all traces of humans had disappeared. Even if they had not vanished, the micro-adjustment of the Gods should have erased everything.
Although he had the map, Wei Huo only knew that he was at the seaside. He did not know where he was, so he could only walk north.
Wei Huo walked a little further. After traveling dozens of kilometers away from the safe zone, he saw more beasts around him. There was no lack of Rare-ranked creatures among them. However, for some reason, those beasts did not discover Wei Huo.
Wei Huo ignored them. He kept moving forward at an extremely fast speed. His Attack was now at 875, and his speed was already several times faster than normal human speed. However, even so, he did not realize that he could jump up and crack the ground with just one kick.
Wei Huo thought that the rules of gravity had been changed by the Gods. Perhaps the gravity of every living creature was different. Otherwise, how could a Black Dragon fly given its body shape and weight before the time halt?
All the rules had changed. Even if humans wanted to become the Earth’s dominant power through technology, they would have to start from scratch. However, with the help of the players and the humans’ extraordinary potential, it should not be too difficult for mankind to rise. It probably wouldn’t be…
Wei Huo kept walking until he was over 50 kilometers away. Suddenly, a small creature jumped out of the jungle and bit the rhinoceros. However, the rhinoceros moved its tail and sent it flying.
That little thing was not hurt. It instead got up and ran over obediently.
Wei Huo smiled. He had not expected the Mimic to come back. Wei Huo lifted it up and the Mimic stuck its tongue out and started panting.
Wei Huo moved the Mimic in circles and shook it. Wei Huo had forged at least thousands of bronze weapons while leveling up.
He sighed and said, “If only you had found me earlier.”
He could have deceived those players again.
In addition to those items, there was obviously something new in the Mimic’s stomach. It had a few skulls, a silver-white mask with a golden rim, a bloody wallet with money, some identity cards, and other items in it.
Wei Huo picked up this mask and realized that it was an item.
‘Fake Mask: You can hide your game ID and level after wearing it. Rank: Excellent.’
There were similar items in the Item Mall as well. Other than masks, there were also helmets and face towels.
There were all sorts of small ways to earn Magical Stones…
Wei Huo lifted the wallet and asked the Mimic, “Where did you find this wallet?”
However, the Mimic could not understand what Wei Huo was talking about. It was panting like a dog while the rings on both sides of the treasure chest were moving up and down like dog ears.
Wei Huo threw him onto an item shelf on the rhinoceros’ side and let the rhinoceros move toward the Mimic.
After walking for over 40 kilometers, Wei Huo smelled blood.
The scent of blood was the first thing he smelled. After examining it closely, he also detected the smell of gasoline. Wei Huo rushed over and saw an overturned bus. The bus had been smashed into pieces, and there was a huge dent on it. Blood flowed out of the broken windows. A few corpses had been flung out, but they were all badly mutilated.
Wei Huo looked at the scene calmly. This was the game of magical beasts and the reality of mankind…
There were no mosaics, green blood, player systems, or malls where one could buy equipment. That was the reality of mankind.
