Chapter 950: Hello Friend (2/2)

As for the three Monster Gecko Kings that remained on the Primary Landmass, they would precisely be able to calculate what to do with the massive fruits and allocate them to whichever Monster Gecko had the greatest success rate of becoming a Mutant. So, their success rate would be many times higher than him.

Krune looked around, noticing that he had placed everything of value in his boat, sighing as he looked at the cave he spent a year in. ”Alright, I should leave now.”

He then bit a part of the boat while using a couple of ropes trailing from it to tie himself up, making it seem as if it was something he had worn over his body. He still wasn't completely sure if it would work. After all, he had only been teleported once. So, he had to work with the limited info.

As such, prepared with everything, he tore the parchment, noticing his vision blur before he had to squint his eyes at the bright surroundings. Krune immediately looked at the ground to see that he was still in his boat, screaming with joy, ”It worked!”

…

The moment he left the place, a group of Monster Geckos entered his cave, looking around as he observed the status of the cave. They then reported everything to the King that stood at the entrance in thought.

Similarly, another King stood at the entrance to a certain cave, kneeling automatically when it sensed the suffocating presence that had permeated in the area.

The final King stood before the thicket of bone trees, smiling as it saw the numerous massive fruits that grew, focusing on the two colossal fruits in the center, finally gazing at the special fruit that caused a desire in it. It seemed that the three Kings had allied themselves to make sense of the situation in their lands.

…

Krune sensed something amiss, turning around to see a group of people gazing at him in shock, suspicion, fear, and greed. The myriad of gazes slammed into him, someone who had been devoid of human contact for more than a year.

For a moment, Krune forgot how to even react when seeing others. Though, after noticing that his boat was above the Checkpoint Turtle, he sighed in relief, remembering that he had returned exactly after a year had passed.

That meant that it was time for the Checkpoint Turtle to appear once again. And with a casual glance, Krune noticed almost one hundred people on the Checkpoint Turtle.

Surprisingly, there seemed to be a queue that had formed to enter inside. It seemed only one would be permitted to enter at a time. Krune also noticed a couple of squids go around while instructing the people.

They didn't seem capable of speech but seemed intelligent enough to convey their intentions to the people. Upon noticing his arrival, a squid arrived before his boat, gently pushing it from the Checkpoint Turtle until it landed on the ocean water.

As the upper half of the boat was in contact with the ocean above, it was easy to push it. Once it was done pushing, the squid looked at Krune and pointed at the queue, prompting him to join it if he wished to buy something.

Krune nodded, deciding to wait and see first. He didn't wish for someone to steal his hard work while he waited in the queue. After all, he couldn't see the raft he was relying on a year ago. So, someone had definitely taken it in the meantime.

Plus, judging by what the Octopus had said before, it seemed the Checkpoint Turtle would only remain for two days before vanishing. The moment he had this thought, Krune shuddered, beginning to sweat immediately as he muttered inwardly, 'My calculations were wrong. It seemed I snapped the parchment when my time was almost up. Thankfully, I did it. Otherwise…'

He dared not imagine being unable to bring the boat with him after putting all his efforts into its creation. He would have probably gone mad if that had been the case.

So, he thanked his luck that he took action right when he did. At the same time, he noticed a man exit the interior and approach the end and rip out a parchment. Immediately, a boat materialized before him.

It was wide enough for him to sleep and had a small compartment to store some tools. Moreover, it had a fair degree of comfort and had a sleek, efficient design that allowed one to row better. It was worth two Godly Points that Krune had been disinclined to buy before.

And now that he looked at it, even though the bone boat was incredibly efficient, allowing one to row it easily through a variety of means, it didn't have a lot of space. In comparison to that, his Paddle was many times better since it had a larger floor space and numerous compartments for a variety of uses.

Still, it seemed the man was happy as he jumped into it and rowed away from the place, intending to go wherever he pleased.

But just as Krune was contemplating what to do next, a group of people approached his boat, eyeing it greedily. They were a group of ten, and judging by their healing scars, they seemed to have been in considerable battles recently.

Among them was a man with a large build, sporting a considerable presence as he looked at Krune, asking, ”Hello friend, may I know how you obtained this large boat?”
