National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

Emil also remained on land.

"The sea is really not for me."

He pointed to the desert to the west, "I'm going to help the cave dwellers establish a base in the desert over there."

As for Situ and Emir wanting to remain in the territory...

Arbitrary is actually something we welcome.

Although cave dwellers are obedient and hardworking, their brain capacity is simply not enough to handle overly complex situations. If other players come along, trouble is bound to break out sooner or later.

Emil's sequence was somewhat cramped at sea, but on land—

Especially in the desert—that's where you really become rich.

Their presence here not only keeps the place in check, but also allows them to communicate remotely.

Doesn't this mean we have a security system with built-in surveillance?

Park Yeon-jin from South Korea hid early in the morning.

She knew that Ren Yi would be leaving early in the morning, but she didn't plan to go with him. Rather than being an untrusted cannon fodder and risking her life in an unknown place, she preferred to stay in this familiar and safe place.

Louis didn't really intend to come along.

But Estin, this young kangaroo country boy, was carrying a large backpack made of woven vines, looking just like a primary school student who was about to return to school after summer camp.

"Idol! Where are we staying?"

As soon as he boarded the ship, he ran around the mast like a husky that had broken free of its reins.

When their gaze met the captain's calm, unwavering black eyes, they unconsciously became much more reserved.

"...Uh, I can stay on the deck too..."

Helpless and helpless.

He casually handed the tube containing the spider to Nathan to keep.

"Choose any cabin on the second floor."

After evolving into the Abyss, the ship's interior space seemed to have been enchanted by spatial magic, appearing much larger inside than outside, with even the cabins having two levels.

The child cheered and rushed into the cabin.

Luigi, on the other hand, was much more reserved. This was a world apart from his upbringing, which had been characterized by routine and conformity.

But perhaps he's much more genuine than some well-dressed guys.

Thinking of this, he politely rolled up his sleeves:

"Is there anything I can do for you, Mr. Renyi?"

"Although my rank is [Sea Knight], my family... on Earth, my family runs a health resort business and I have received rigorous butler-style training."

What does a butler do...?

Managing things and cooking?

After a moment of serious thought, she asked, "Can I cook?"

"meeting......"

"From now on, you'll help with the cooking."

Halfway through the conversation, Esting, who had already chosen his room, excitedly leaned half his body out of the ship's side, as if he were about to perform a leap of faith.

Arbitrary & Louis: "..."

"Plus, I have high hopes for him."

"......good."

Great, so far the new crew member seems normal, reliable, and without any quirks!

......

noon.

The temperature rose and the air became drier, but it carried a fresh scent of plants and earth that couldn't be smelled at sea, making the two-legged creatures, including Xiao Jiu, quite content.

The only discordant element...

Only intermittent wailing could be heard from inside the clam shell.

"The air is so dry and harsh... my hair follicles are going to wither!"

Sean, with a melancholy expression, combed through his non-existent hair.

Just as Esting was about to blurt out the secret, Ivan covered her mouth: "Then come out here, I'm going to soak you!"

"You rude two-legged beast!"

Sean immediately pulled his head back.

Their current course is due east.

The destination is still the same one as before when I fell into the underground river—

The sea area to the east of the land.

Inside the observation cabin, a beige animal hide was laid out at random, and Nathan was marking the word "Dragon Kingdom" with charcoal in the center area, then roughly drawing the outline of the coastline he had seen, using that as the center.

"Last time we went to the Sea of ​​Mist, we traveled along the underground river beneath the Naga."

After Nathan finished drawing the coastline of the Tranquil Sea, the boundary of the desert region, and the location of the lake and the Naga, he pushed the animal hide in any direction.

"The first time I landed, I came from the swampy area further east."

"The terrain over there doesn't seem to rise significantly, which means..."

This indicates that the sea level of the Misty Sea is lower than that of the Tranquil Sea.

"But that doesn't seem to make sense!"

A casual nod is indeed unusual, and this is one of the things he wanted to figure out on his trip to the eastern side of the mainland.

What exactly are the physical boundaries between regions?

This also determines the underlying logic of the game Ocean Era, or rather, the experimental field, whether it is plate drift or block collage.

"What difference does it make to us?"

Aurora asked softly, somewhat bewildered.

Of course there are.

As any gaze sweeps across the question mark at the map's edge, one interpretation is that it follows the great forces of nature, where there are still patterns to be found.

But another one...

This means they are in a randomly assembled "resource library," and their power is like a piece of code in a program. No matter how powerful they evolve, they can be "deleted with one click" by the administrator.

—As we all know, the hardest barrier to overcome is always the dimensional barrier.

He raised his eyes, his tone indifferent:

"It doesn't matter."

"When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it."

They're no different from a rabbit fighting a lion now; just thinking about going against someone who could potentially rewrite the rules of the world...

Both are exciting.

"Boss?"

"It's alright, Nathan. Just remember to roughly draw the map."

No matter how much you think about it, it's useless; the answer will always be on its way.

After passing through the broadleaf forest, the humidity in the air grew heavier. Passing through this place again after half a month, only one thought came to mind:

"It seems like the variety of species has increased again."

He rested his elbow on the railing, propped his chin up, and watched with great interest a passing "long-legged" woman.

That reddish-yellowish animal looked like an ugly fox, with big, intelligent ears and very long fur. Its four legs looked like they were on stilts. When it heard the sound of the Abyss passing by, instead of running away, it raised one front leg and one hind leg in mid-air, with a lewd expression on its face.

"Um...should I go and fight back?" Ivan asked hesitantly.

Shake your head arbitrarily.

Bringing them back wouldn't make a difference; they don't look appetizing, and their fur isn't great either. They'd be better suited as pets, but the animals on the ship are almost enough to open a fantasy zoo...

Especially after Estin boarded the ship, it was almost like raising a monkey.

Having never witnessed the power of the [Ruminant Digestion Module] before, Esting was teasing the large eyes on the observation pod with a leaf. When he noticed Renyi looking at him, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be seriously studying the structure of the [Abyss].

They soon arrived at the swamp that once belonged to the Naga.

Without the disruptors of the ecological balance, this place seems to have regained its wildness, with dark shadows occasionally swimming by in the murky waters of unknown depth beside the road.

"Hiss... hiss hiss..."

A series of subtle rustling sounds came from the treetops.

Nathan, who was on guard duty, looked up when he heard the sound and then whistled.

"Looks like we're quite popular!"
