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

Chapter 96 Excitement
Jiang Ran walked toward the light, only to find that it was a hole about one meter in diameter, filled with mist, which looked like a teleportation portal.

She was absolutely certain that this thing wasn't there when she first went up the mountain.

So, shall we jump in and take a look?
Seeing Jiang Ran's hesitant expression, Xiao Bai said softly, "Master, I'll go in and take a look first."

After saying that, he jumped directly into the hole.

A second later, Xiaobai sent a message: "Master, this place... seems to be a completely new world, indescribable..."

Jiang Ran subconsciously glanced at Xiaobai's coordinates; the original numbers had now turned into a bunch of gibberish.

Without further hesitation, she marked the current coordinates and jumped into the hole.

After the initial feeling of weightlessness, when she opened her eyes, what appeared before her was a world that Jiang Ran had never imagined.

Clusters of light, like dandelions, scattered across highly saturated, distorted colors, creating bizarre and ever-changing spots that almost doubled before her eyes.

The world seemed to have turned into a flat plane. She and Xiaobai stood in this "scroll" made up of disordered shapes, and all they felt was a sense of separation.

Jiang Ran dared not look closely at the flickering and changing patterns. It felt just like the suffocation and chaos she had experienced when she was corrupted by that giant eyeball. This time, however, there was no explorer's journal to save her.

But those orbs of light gave her a warm feeling, making her want to touch them involuntarily.

And she did just that.

Just as her hand was about to touch the ball of light, a faint but piercing voice of terror suddenly rang in her ears: "No—how dare you touch that person's..."

For some reason, upon hearing this voice, Jiang Ran's body seemed to gain its own consciousness. While emptying her mind, she used her powerful physique to gather dozens of orbs of light with each breath.

Then, without hesitation, he activated the teleportation scroll and instantly returned to the previous marked point.

During the teleportation, she seemed to vaguely sense something powerful and terrifying awakening.

But before that aura could catch up, she had already vanished from the spot.

Even after stepping onto the island's soil, Jiang Ran could still feel the thrill of her racing heart.

She didn't know what those orbs of light were, only that when she touched them, her body and mind felt incredibly comfortable.

The discomfort I felt in that space filled with mentally polluting patterns was completely soothed at this moment.

The original cave had vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.

Only the soaring pollution level in Jiang Ran's system notification proved that she had indeed just gone to an incredibly strange place.

In just a few seconds, the pollution level rose by nearly 50%. Jiang Ran didn't want to know what would happen if the pollution level reached 100%, but all she could do was transfer all of that pollution level to Xu Yunxuan's alternate account.

As for those orbs of light...

Jiang Ran subconsciously opened the game panel, and was pleasantly surprised to find that the explorer's journal, which had originally represented something incomplete, had become whole in the bottom groove!

This was truly an unexpected delight. So, those orbs of light were indeed the power of faith that the big eyeball had brought back from various places?

The only slightly disappointing thing is that the small bottle of faith power obtained from the ghost directly restored the contents of the Chosen One's Notebook, but removing so many faith orbs only made the incomplete notebook complete.

Jiang Ran flipped through the Explorer's Handbook, which had become noticeably thicker but was still completely blank, with some disappointment. She didn't have a better solution, so she simply tossed it back into the slot. She also fed the slot with the Faith Points she had accumulated from the island giant.

Unfortunately, this bit of faith was just a drop in the ocean and still couldn't fill the blanks in the journal. At most, it only made the stone slab look a little warmer.

Regardless, the trip was quite fruitful, at least clarifying the direction for restoring the explorer's journal.

The power of faith sounds a bit mystical, but Jiang Ran thought that Majik, who came from the GOD group, should know something about it.

Her next target was Majik and the God-Dislike Clan's Notebook in his possession!

This time, Jiang Ran didn't encounter anything strange on her way down the mountain. She even took a stroll through the woods and found the mountain breeze particularly soothing and comfortable.

Having taken out the houseboat again, Jiang Ran simply upgraded it to a higher level in terms of sturdiness.

The upgrade mainly required iron blocks, which avoided the awkward situation of lacking wooden crates.

To Jiang Ran's surprise, a system notification appeared after she clicked the upgrade button.

[Buildings detected on the player's ship. Should we add upgrade materials to better fuse the ship and buildings? Yes/No.]

Jiang Ran was delighted. She had been prepared for the small second floor to be optimized and need to be rebuilt, but she didn't expect the upgrade to be so user-friendly.

She immediately chose "yes" and spent nearly three times more materials to upgrade the ship.

But the cost of these materials was well worth it.

The raft was completely upgraded, not only increasing in size by two or three times, but also integrating a small second floor into the cabin based on the cruise ship's exterior, and even retaining the mechanical arm that Jiang Ran had previously installed.

Its current design resembles a luxury cruise ship equipped with villas.

Because the upgrade also incorporated Radiant Silver, the entire ship exudes a dazzling yet solid feel, making it clear that the ship's owner is exceptionally powerful without any slogans.

Jiang Ran was very satisfied, finally no longer having to live in that pitiful 20-square-meter "small villa".

As she boarded the ship, the island became transparent, but on the game's map, it could be seen that an island was always following her ship, and she could make the island appear at any time with a simple click.

Jiang Ran didn't know if this was a perk only available to the first player in the entire server who could use a whistle, but it suited her perfectly.

The modified control panel is basically automated, so Xiaobai no longer needs to keep an eye on it all the time, and he went to fish for boxes on his own again.

Jiang Ran then took out the bottle of dark blue liquid, preparing to give Majik a little surprise.

She took out the manufacturing table and, while making bullets, tried pouring in some blue liquid.

With a light "ding-dong," ten bullets, gleaming with an ominous light, appeared on the manufacturing table.

[Congratulations, player! You have successfully developed a new item recipe! Generate crafting blueprints and sign your name? Yes/No.]

Jiang Ran blinked and clicked "Yes" without hesitation!
　Regarding the possibility of offending Big Eyes.

　　Ranran: Offended? Ever since it started lusting after my body in both its past and present lives, we've been sworn enemies!
