Chapter 141: Fishmen Island Does Not Have Much Time Left! (1/2)
“Finally done…”
Xi Wei stared at the tattered little boat in front of him while wiping off nonexistent sweat with his tentacles, looking like he lost a weight off his shoulders.
That was the ‘simple boat’ he mentioned in the event information before.
Actually, he could have directly created it in a short time with divine power since divine power is quite omnipotent, even creating a computer—in fact, a Gundam might be possible too.
Indeed, Xi Wei is confident that the Gundam idea was possible, although he also conceded that he was still too weak at the moment and couldn’t make one…
Still, that would cost too much divine power, and any god might even incur loss of divine power despite gaining a major event’s worth. That was why the gods did not take sacrificial offerings save for the evil gods that had certain correlated authority: Xi Wei’s transmigrated authority kept him tax free despite the considerable divine energy he had earned through the thousands of fishmen corpses, whereas it would cost other gods even their underwear from the enormous cost.
Secondly, the rubbish sent to Xi Wei’s divine kingdom from his believers were starting to pile. As such, he used this opportunity and applied just a small amount of divine energy to mold some of those rubbish into the shape of a boat in an effort to significantly reduce the rubbish.
“Direct molding is too troublesome… but thanks to my foresight I had named it a simple boat. If I had tried to make a luxury liner, ‘My Heart Will Go On’ would start playing halfway through the journey.”
Xi Wei would cry a river if all the Players were wiped out at such a place.
“As for Fishmen Island…”
Xi Wei opened his Divine Eye again to attempt spying on fishfolk island—only to be blocked by the Ocean Goddess’ power just like every attempt before and see a blurred image.
“Tsk. I guess I can only rely on the Players as my viewing lens.”
That being said, Xi Wei wasn’t actually worried as it had only been five days since the event had started, with the Players already accomplishing a horrific feat of killing almost ten thousand fishmen—not even the border war between coastal nations and the fishmen could see such an outcome.
And now, making those simple boats out of rubbish was much simpler.
“Although there’s no telling what the Ocean Goddess is doing, it’s better to be careful…”
Things might blow up in his face if he was being careless, which was why Xi Wei decided to pay up a little to motivate the Players—when they explore the Fishmen Island, at least.
Soon, the Players in the mortal realm received the System notification that the event now enters the second phase.
Aside from unlocking the quest item Simple Boat, Players would be revived at the Lifestone in the Frogmen Village an hour after death if there was no Cleric at hand to raise them from the dead. Naturally, there would be a 30% EXP deduction off their current level.
That way, the Players would be able to keep heading to Fishmen Island in droves even if the Ocean Goddess had set up some trap, and to remove any obstacles through the experiences they gained before dying.
To put it in Xi Wei’s words, it was to ‘have the fishfolk experience the horror of human wave attack’…
