Post-Apocalyptic Survival Modpack

Chapter 91, Section 90: An Attempt

If someone creates a modpack that adds a new apocalypse every three days, and it's in extreme mode, Wang Ji will definitely criticize it, saying the difficulty is unreasonable, the author is just messing around, and it's unplayable.

They should throw him in there and see how many days he can survive.

But now, Wang Ji has no choice but to reluctantly play with this bag.

Although…

Wang Ji glanced at his life bar once again.

It's a healthy red heart, with no other markings, and it doesn't look like extreme mode.

"Death."

Wang Ji sighed.

Death seems to be one of the breakthroughs in the current situation; if one really dies, one might realize something different.

If they can't successfully revive and bring back the information, that's another story.

Now, if it were really time to die and try to gamble on whether he could truly be resurrected, Wang Ji would definitely be unwilling.

But if it's just about seeing if there's any change when your health reaches zero, then that's fine.

With the star power provided by Starlight Magic, Wang Ji can revive on the spot once every 30 seconds when his health reaches zero.

I don't know if this thing counts as death.

But regardless of the situation, in order to find a breakthrough, we have to try all possible methods.

In fact, judging from the current situation, even if everyone dies in the end, Wang Ji will most likely still be able to survive, and may even live for a long time.

But living in such a world is not much different from swimming in a cesspool. Just imagine being surrounded by bizarre apocalyptic scenes and dung monsters—that would be unbearable.

If there's a way, give it a try.

Thinking of this, Wang Ji suddenly said, "Oswald, come and kill me once."

"Ok?"

Oswald looked over, somewhat puzzled, but didn't move.

Ryder was startled and quickly dissuaded him, "No, I was just saying. You don't have to actually commit suicide according to my plan. We've already discussed it, and none of those plans are reliable."

Wang Ji waved his hand: "It wasn't suicide, it was just an experiment. I can be resurrected."

Oswald, however, did not quite agree with this approach: "I do not recommend doing this. As things stand, all methods of resurrection have become unreliable. Otherwise, I would have already tried dying once."

“Wang Ji, anyone can take this risk, but you can’t.”

Wang Ji said, "Nothing is impossible; my resurrection is a little different."

"It comes from me, well... you could call it a 'talent,' the talent that allows me to modify the content of the apocalypse."

Have you ever seen sixteen extra constellations above the zenith at night?

"That is the source of my resurrection power."

Others who are resurrected have to rack their brains to figure out all the rules.

However, Wang Ji doesn't use this; it's purely a mechanical system with no manual operation involved.

Oswald remained silent for a moment.

Wang Ji had naturally discovered the sixteen extra constellations he mentioned long ago, and had even tried to study them.

The conclusion is that those constellations, like the Supreme Ultimate, are manifestations of the rules above the world, and their fundamental information cannot be perceived.

It's like it's locked; you can't see it because you don't have the necessary permissions.

Thinking of this, Oswald said, "Since I was born, you are the only one who makes me feel that my 'root perception' is not quite right."

Are you sure you really want to try?

“OK, let’s go!” Wang Ji nodded.

"Well."

Osvid raised his hand and moved it slightly.

Before Wang Ji could react, the surrounding area was engulfed in flames.

In an instant, his health bar was emptied.

At the same time, a buff appeared on the status bar.

Phoenix Fire

This means the resurrection mechanism has been triggered.

With his health rapidly recovering, Wang Ji stared at Osvid, somewhat stunned.

Oswald also looked at Wang Ji, wondering what he was daydreaming about.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Hopefully nothing unexpected has happened.
"Ah—ouch, ouch, it's so hot! Help! Help! Hahahaha..."

A heart-wrenching scream came from the side at an inopportune moment. Ryder was seen howling and rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on his body.

That's the passive ability of Phoenix's Blessing, which unleashes a burst of intense flames the moment of resurrection, igniting all living things around it while granting the user fire immunity.

Wang Ji immediately put down a bucket of water and helped Ryder put out the fire.

Ryder can finally catch his breath.

"What are you guys doing? Why didn't you warn me..."

Wang Ji was speechless.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that everything happened too fast."

Before I could even react, I was instantly killed by the archmage.

This old man is terrifying.

Wang Ji rebuked, "I wasn't even ready, couldn't you have taken more time?"

Oswald said with some helplessness, "If you want to fight me for a whole day and night, and then have a magnificent ending, that's fine too."

"I just want to improve efficiency as much as possible. Next time, please let me know in advance what you need, and I will definitely cooperate."

"... "

Wang Ji didn't want to dwell on this irrelevant topic any longer, so he immediately changed the subject, saying:

"I didn't feel anything; I didn't sense anything unusual."

Oswald wasn't surprised. He said, "Because you didn't die at all. I saw it all. The moment your life force completely withered, new life immediately sprang to life, like embers reigniting, and the flame of life was rekindled."

“It also set me on fire,” Ryder said resentfully, lying on the ground.

Still no progress.

Wang Ji fell into thought once again.

If death doesn't work, then let's try... manipulating time?
In the concept of equivalent exchange, there is something called a 'time flow pocket watch'.

Its function, as its name suggests, is to control the passage of time during operation.

On a smaller scale, it can accelerate or decelerate the speed of things around us; on a larger scale, it can make things within a nine-meter radius flow at 19 times the speed, including the growth of crops and the operation of machinery.

The combined effects of this thing make its efficiency even more terrifying; with it, the daily resource output is astronomical.

Since this thing was made, the community residents' labor has really been just symbolic, or simply out of interest.

In fact, there is no shortage of resources.

Although strictly speaking, it seems that it has never been lacking.

In addition to accelerating the flow of matter, the Time Torrent Pocket Watch can also slow down the activity speed of beings other than the holder to one-tenth of its original speed, from actions to thoughts, making it an excellent tool for control.

But these are not the main functions that Wang Ji wants to use. The function that is most likely to affect the situation now is its other function: celestial control.

It can control the movement of celestial phenomena, making a day jump from morning to evening at thirteen times the speed, or vice versa.

Wang Ji took out his pocket watch and charged it.

Would you mind if I changed the time?

An early warning has been issued.

Today's weather: Time is in disarray.

On this day, the celestial phenomena changed.

Day and night reverse, celestial phenomena go against the current, and dusk turns into morning.

Oswald looked up at the sky, but still couldn't understand it.

...

"Can not be done."

As it turns out, Wang Ji misunderstood once again.

The so-called reverse time in the Time Flow pocket watch is not a reverse time of the world, nor can it reverse the state of everyone.

It can only alter celestial phenomena, causing problems with astronomy and calendars, but it cannot actually change dates like in a game, causing any deviations in the apocalyptic program.

Clearly, the doomsday is calculated in absolute time and is not affected by dates or similar factors.

Ultimately, this thing isn't actually written into a mechanical program; it's not part of this system at all.

Wang Ji slapped his forehead.

"The game-like mindset has ruined us again."

if…

I wish I could go to 'Minecraft'.

Perhaps in the real 'main world', this situation will be different.
