Eternal Night

Chapter 701 Dog Egg Number

"So, could this world be a kind of redemption?"

Wu Pifu, Xu Shilan, and Amadei were still building the ship, but because of the unusual phenomena displayed by the ship's attributes, the three of them focused their attention on the peculiarities of this world.

Currently, this world is truly unique. Firstly, its geography is unlike anything on Earth; it is an alien world, which is extremely rare even in a dream world at level 0.7.

Secondly, there are the supernatural influences on the ocean. This is a spatial influence that even Wu Pifu cannot escape. Ocean currents determine the direction of movement, and this is a wide-ranging supernatural influence that almost covers the ocean range that Wu Pifu has explored so far. It is just unknown whether this is the case for the whole world or if this particular sea area is special, such as something like the Bermuda Triangle on Earth.

These two points alone are enough to illustrate the peculiarity of this world. Now, another ship has arrived on the ocean and is displaying its attributes. This is definitely a supernatural force that is completely different from the direction of ocean currents.

Two kinds of widespread pollution, which are likely at the root level or supernatural forces, are very similar to the land of redemption that Chu Minghao mentioned!
Xu Shilan sat on the beach, deep in thought, and said, "I'm not entirely sure yet, because according to Chu Minghao, the so-called Land of Redemption is a world where multiple levels of origins are intertwined and have reached a certain balance, resulting in an exceptionally prosperous world and resistance to pollution sources... Although two kinds of wide-area supernatural forces have appeared in this world, we are still unsure about their extent and whether they are balanced. We can only say that this world may be the Land of Redemption."

Amadeus, shirtless and wearing only shorts, was helping Wu Pifu wind up the boat ropes. Upon hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Isn't that great? This is like hitting the jackpot! I heard that after finding a dream world similar to the Land of Redemption, the mainframe will not only give us a lot of points, but also many other benefits. Won't we get rich overnight?"

Xu Shilan shook her head and said, "But this also means that we are temporarily trapped in this dream world, isn't it? Originally, if we spent several months testing the surrounding seas and still couldn't find any human habitation, then we should simply leave this dream world. But if this world is truly an extremely rare and precious place of salvation, then we can't simply leave. We must establish a sanctuary in this world..."

Amadeus then looked at Wu Pifu.

Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "I can only stay in this dream world for ten months at most... but that should be enough. Even if I dig a tunnel under the seabed, ten months is enough time for me to dig a distance as long as the equator. I don't believe that such a large area will not have a single human being in sight."

Xu Shilan and Amadei thought of Wu Pifu's current strength, and they both felt relieved and nodded.

Indeed, back then, being trapped on a deserted island would have made survival extremely difficult. But things are different now. Wu Pifu is strong enough to easily break the deadlock, and with his personal space and no shortage of food and water, he can try and fail countless times. If he still can't break the deadlock in the end, then as Wu Pifu said, he can simply dig a long tunnel out of the seabed and break the deadlock by force.

Xu Shilan felt relieved and said with a smile, "In that case, we need to plan this dream world carefully. First, we need to find traces of human habitation, confirm the technological level, civilization level, supernatural strength, and geographical location of this dream world. Then we need to determine what type of shelter to establish. Of course, gathering intelligence is of paramount importance, not only for our current gains, but also for clues about the Dream Compass, whether this world is the land of salvation, and other possible gains."

Beelzebub also flew around Wu Pifu's ear at the same time, saying as he flew: "And another thing, we need to confirm whether this world has root erosion, the strength of the root, the domain, etc. By the way, since ships will show information when they are on water, what about other vehicles? Or water-based structures? And can this level of information be taken out of this world? These also need to be investigated."

Wu Pifu kept Xu Shilan and Beelzebub's words in mind, which also made him quite sigh.

This is the power of a team. As the saying goes, one person's plan is short-sighted, two people's plan is long-sighted, and three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. He has the drive, the ability, and the courage to fight to the death, but what he lacks is the ability to delve into details and long-term planning. These are his weaknesses. Now, with the addition of Xu Shilan and Amadei, he not only has companionship but also makes up for his weaknesses. This is really good.

Wu Pifu already knew all this.

Looking back on many of his past dream worlds, he realizes that if he had had partners to help him plan, the rewards he would have received would likely have been much greater, and many hidden secrets that could have been explored in depth were ultimately abandoned.

But that was in the past. Now everything is getting better. Not only have Xu Shilan and Amadeus been resurrected, but Zhi has also confirmed his identity. Zhi and Mi may be able to join his team, which means his team's strength can snowball...

If he could also bring his parents and the little mute boy back to life, then he would have no regrets...

After several more hours of construction, by midday the single-masted sailing ship was essentially complete. Thanks to the information panel, all three of them were now focused. Wu Pifu not only thoroughly dried the wood but also carefully used his internal energy to compress it, increasing the quality of the wood by at least 50%, making it comparable to the best timber for building wooden ships. Xu Shilan and Beelzebub also revised the blueprints repeatedly. In terms of hydrodynamics, this single-masted wooden sailing ship had actually surpassed the classic ship designs of the Age of Exploration, exhibiting a style reminiscent of ships from the technological age.

"A third-class vessel, unnamed, unclaimed, and without a contract."

"Attack, twenty."

"Defense, 30."

"Speed, 120."

"Special ability: Level 2 Gale".

"Level 2 Gale, due to its special hull structure, this ship moves 50 percent faster than other ships of the same class and type under the same ocean current and wind speed."

All three of them looked at the ship, each lost in thought.

Amade climbed onto the deck of the wooden ship using the ropes, and stomped on it, saying, "Very sturdy. I didn't expect this to be a level three ship."

Xu Shilan stood on the beach looking at the wooden boat and said, "It's not that simple. This single-masted wooden sailboat doesn't look big, and it was built by us, but the engineering used to build it is far beyond the level of civilization of the wooden sailboat era. Even with such epoch-making science and technology, it's only a third-class ship... It seems that the waters of this world are very deep."

Wu Pifu walked to the shore, picked up the golden tree bonsai that was sunbathing with one hand, and then picked up Daphne with his arm. He then looked at Xu Shilan, who naturally came to Wu Pifu's other arm and took his arm. Wu Pifu then stepped on the ground and rose into the air, bringing Xu Shilan with him onto the boat.

It was just a single-masted wooden sailboat, so the boat wasn't big, but it was enough to carry three people. Wu Pifu then asked, "Should we name it now? How do we recognize it as our owner? And how do we form a contract?" Xu Shilan and Amadei both looked at him blankly.

Wu Pifu frowned: "Master, identify the ship."

"Judging in progress...judging complete."

"A single-masted wooden sailboat."

"...Are you kidding me?"

Wu Pifu was having a bit of a headache, so Xu Shilan tentatively suggested, "Why don't you name the ship first?"

"it is good."

Wu Pifu thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it 'Dog Egg,' it's not easy for it to sink..."

"Snapped!"

Chiu Chiu angrily rammed her head into his forehead, and Xu Shilan slapped him on the waist. Only Amadeus was stunned for a long time before bursting into laughter.

Xu Shilan's voice rose, completely losing its usual gentle and ladylike tone: "Can't you be serious for once? What if we're going to establish a prestigious sanctuary in this world, and when we sail out to sea on this ship, people hear, 'Ah, the great hero, the great demon king, the savior Wu Pifu and his companions are coming on the Dog Egg...' Are you trying to make our enemies laugh to death?!"

Wu Pifu scratched his head. He really wanted to answer loudly that he had chosen the name carefully.

Then suddenly, a faint, but clearly visible, light appeared on the ship.

"A third-class vessel, the Dog Egg, unclaimed and without a contract."

Everything else remains the same, but the ship is indeed named the Dog Egg.

"Oh no... are you really a super brain!?"

Xu Shilan covered her face and squatted down, murmuring, "Whether it's Chu Minghao, Liang Min, or my brother, they are all talented and ambitious, learned and handsome. Why did I have to meet you..."

Amade laughed even louder as he hoisted the sails and shouted, "The legendary ship of the future world, the Dog Egg, isn't that interesting? Hahaha, hold on tight, let's set sail!"

Wu Pifu watched as Amadei adjusted the sails, while Xu Shilan hurriedly ran to the helm. He thought for a moment, bit his finger, and smeared the blood on the deck. But after waiting for a long time, the Gou Dan ship showed no change whatsoever. He shook his head.

This is clearly not a contract.

Then, the ship had sailed with the wind away from the shallow waters of the beach and was almost at the island's edge, about forty or fifty meters from the shore. Suddenly, the ship information box in front of the three of them changed again, and experience points appeared among the many data.

"Experience points: 1, 2, 3..."

It jumps about once every four or five seconds, but there's no level or anything, and other attributes don't change either, so for now, it's unclear what the use of these experience points is.

"Interesting, the dream world is truly fascinating!" Amadeus stood at the bow of the ship and laughed heartily. "Let's go, let's ride the waves... If only there were music right now!"

Although Wu Pifu remained silent, he also came to the bow of the ship and watched the ship sail through the waves, feeling excited.

He and Amadeus stood at the bow of the ship, both of them filled with excitement.

Looking at the two grown men in the group acting like two children, Xu Shilan couldn't help but mutter, "So, men are always teenagers? How childish..."

Even so, she still had a smile on her face.

The Dog Egg sailed off into the ocean beyond the island, and its direction...

It was right where the sky had cracked open before!
