Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 113 Unselectable Coordinates

Resources.

Jiang Ran found it hard not to think in this direction.

Is it possible that... the energy source for those pillars of light that supply energy to Paro Island is actually these players themselves?
Whether it's the fear and anger players feel due to the dangers of the dungeon, or the malice and greed that arise from players clashing with each other, all of these can be transformed into the purest energy.

That's why Jiang Ran was targeted by Big Eyes.

Perhaps to those so-called gods, players are merely beings they can take whatever they want.

Especially the overly "happy" residents of Paro Island, upon closer reflection, do indeed seem like empty shells after all intense emotions have been removed.

Jiang Ran had originally speculated that the gods might have once been players, but now it seems that those "creatures" that appeared in the explorer's journal, including the big-eyed creature, are more like monsters that are constantly sucking nutrients from the players.

The existence of Doomsday Train games is their natural sheepfold.

The only thing she didn't understand was why, even in this meticulously crafted sheep pen, Big Eyes and the others were subject to various forms of restraint.

Just like how Big Eyeball's murderous intent towards Jiang Ran had probably reached its peak, he could only resort to indirect methods, using various opportunistic methods of corruption to achieve his goal.

Jiang Ran couldn't help but wonder: Is the being that created this game really on the same side as those gods?
Does the phrase "tainted everything" in the disqualified man's journal simply refer to his large eyes, or does it represent all the "gods"?

She also remembered the distorted and ethereal images, larger than big eyeballs, drawn in the explorer's journal.

A thought suddenly flashed through Jiang Ran's mind: Is there only one Paro Island?

Where do those straight, enormous beams of light lead after passing through Paro Island?
Her gaze involuntarily fell on the map on the game panel.

First, check the remaining coordinates on that mysterious map. If the destinations in both locations are also "Palo Island," perhaps that will answer some of her questions.

In particular, if other map fragments can be found, more information should be gathered.

Jiang Ran's heart was burning with excitement. She immediately opened the game panel, preparing to use the young lady's coordinates to teleport directly there.

To her astonishment, when she opened the map again, the area that was originally lit up had turned gray and locked!
Jiang Ran clicked on the coordinates she had marked earlier, still somewhat unwilling to give up, but a bright red notification popped up on the game panel.

[This target has been locked and cannot be selected at this time!]

why? !

Was it because the energy I had just absorbed had attracted someone's attention?

Recalling when she left, she seemed to see someone rushing towards her through the light generated by those energies. Could it be these people who caused the coordinate lock?

What Jiang Ran didn't know was that her previous actions had attracted the attention of many people.

She practically stole a third of the entire Paro Island's daily energy supply!

All the residents of the Upper City were instantly gripped by immense fear as the pillar of light suddenly dimmed, almost causing a cataclysmic event.

This unprecedented commotion not only alarmed the entire guard force of both the upper and lower city, but also forced out those "adults" who had been indifferent to worldly affairs and devoted themselves to worshipping the gods all year round.

After finally stabilizing the situation in the upper city, at the heart of Eternal Night City, a woman in white robes with her eyes bound by a pale gold ribbon gently placed her hand on the invisible barrier.

After a long while, a clear voice rang out, but the murderous intent in its tone shattered the tranquility of the voice.

"Jiang, Ran".

Jiang Ran was unaware that someone was already holding a grudge against her, and she was feeling disappointed as she looked at the coordinates she couldn't select. But she quickly put this unpleasantness out of her mind.

She discovered that a new status bar had appeared on her personal information page: Resistance.

Unlike the other black text, this status is gold, and the value is 100.

Jiang Ran guessed that this was something obtained after absorbing those energies, and as for what it was resisting... it was most likely the omnipresent mental pollution from the big eyeball.

She planned to wait until the annihilation CD was ready before taking another nap to verify her hypothesis.

Jiang Ran returned to the previous sea area with the ghost ship and Little White. Because she had accomplished part of her objective, Jiang Ran was in a pretty good mood.

Sitting on the deck, sipping her drink and watching Little White fish for its crates, she pondered her next plan.

The next Heavenly Ranking will be updated tomorrow night. In order to win the treasure chest for the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking, she needs to gain more weight in her ranking.

She remembered reading someone say that the islands encountered in the mist were full of pirates. Since she couldn't sleep at night anyway, she might as well go and meet those pirates.

Since we can't go to those coordinates for the time being, let's try to get more island runes first.

If a ghost ship or treasure chest appears on another pirate island, maybe we can get a new map fragment?

On a rare peaceful afternoon, just as Xiaobai had managed to catch a diamond treasure chest, the message about Whirlwind Slash also arrived.

Whirlwind Slash: "Miss, is this convenient? I'd like to buy some information from you."

Jiang Ran became interested: "Is it finished?"

Whirlwind Slash: "Hmm. Thanks to your weapon, it works very well. It's just that six arrows don't last very long. I'd like to buy some more arrows separately. The price is negotiable."

This confident tone suggests a resounding victory and a great harvest.

Jiang Ran thought for a moment and said, "I have everything else. If you need any special materials or props, I'll make sure you have enough."

Whirlwind Slash: "How about this one?"

[Whirlwind Slash initiates a trade request: Item - Double Happiness.]

Jiang Ran raised an eyebrow and opened the description of the prop card.

【Item. Double Happiness (Rare): Single use. After using this item, the next skill will be cast twice.】

Jiang Ran: !
This is indeed what she needs most right now!

Young Miss: "It seems you've had quite a haul this time. Ten poisoned arrows, would you like to trade?"

Whirlwind Slash: "No problem. But more than that, I'd like to buy information about the pirates and islanders on the island."

Young Miss: "Then we'll have to exchange it with sincerity."

Whirlwind Slash remained silent, only initiating trade requests.

[Skill. Teleport (Rank A): When activated, the player cannot be locked onto for 10 seconds and will be instantly teleported to a random location within a 100-kilometer radius (Cooldown: 1 hour).]

[Skill Card: Fusion (Special). Players can select one item card and bind it to create a new skill.]
