"Again!"
Capsized, drowned.
"Again!"
Still capsized, drowned.
Wang Hao scratched his ears in silence. Since his life was infinite, he was just giving it a try, not expecting to fail so quickly—it took only a few minutes before he perished.
"It seems that even in an open sandbox mode, it’s impossible for to escape beyond the ga’s boundaries."
"The outside world probably isn’t fully developed yet."
"I probably can’t leave this village; leaving ans inexplicably capsizing and drowning."
So... think of another way?
The next second, he reappeared in "Ganlu Temple."
The feeling of having infinite lives was truly satisfying—able to freely experint without any regrets, even if things went awry.
After a few minutes, a familiar scenario began once again.
A team of adventurers, traveling on a fast boat about 15 ters long, slowly approached from the depths of the white fog.
The boat, surprisingly large, sported a propeller engine at the back, but the adventurers were paddling manually, likely to reduce noise.
From afar, the subdued talk of the adventurers could be heard.
"The fog has cleared! The fog has cleared! Haha, we’ve found the place."
"There’s a temple on the riverbank with the words ’Ganlu Temple’... just like the records say!"
These people, repeating the sa dialogue from the first reincarnation, began unpacking their luggage from the speedboat and prepared to disembark.
The Caucasian male leader, "Gregory," started instructing the guide Pan Hao—a slightly lean Asian man who had accidentally killed Wang Hao during the first reincarnation.
"Pan Hao, carefully check the temple’s interior environnt."
"Prepare a fire; we’ll make do and spend the night here."
"Understood."
In this new cycle, Wang Hao did not hide within the temple.
He chose to crawl deep into the white fog, quietly observing the group.
Pan Hao cautiously inspected the temple’s interior, found no danger, waved his hand to signal sothing, and everyone entered.
The eight-mber team started making a fire and cooking food.
They were apparently very well-prepared, carrying a portable stove with coal in it.
Water and food were also brought in from the speedboat, packaged in tal canned rations which could be enjoyed with just a bit of preparation.
"Is the story finally different now..." Wang Hao lay in the fog, watching a flickering light not too far away.
He noticed his hearing ability was extraordinary, able to hear sounds from afar—perhaps due to the needs of the storyline...
The crowd was excited yet suppressing their voices as they whispered sothing.
As a superpower user, he often had mysterious premonitions—this eerie place hid indescribable horrors, imnse pressure surging from all directions. rely staying for a few minutes induced waves of palpitations.
Gregory added a coal block into the fire, saying, "According to astrological calculations, the overlapping ti points of parallel universes are just two or three days."
"So, within these two or three days, we must find Youthful Eternity Spring and return to our world as fast as possible."
"What if we miss the timing?" soone asked.
Gregory spread his hands: "Then we’ll be trapped here, waiting for the next spaceti intersection. It could be a dozen years or even decades. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen."
"Don’t worry, guys. Brace yourselves, find the Fountain of Youth, and we can enjoy a lifeti of glory and innurable accolades! It is a product of legend, envied by countless nobles."
"If we obtain it, this life could be much more comfortable than you imagine—perhaps a thousand years, or even ten thousand."
Wang Hao rolled his eyes, secretly gleeful: "Thinking of living a thousand or ten thousand years, huh? Grandpa is going to steal your boat now and let you enjoy yourselves here!"
He felt aggrieved from being killed mistakenly in the first reincarnation and thought of settling the score right away.
As for future cooperation and reincarnations, those could wait!
With infinite lives, I will not let myself be wronged; vengeance must be exacted imdiately.
Besides, such a big boat surely shouldn’t capsize in the river, right?
In the pitch-dark environnt, he tiptoed, stealthily making his way there.
Perhaps these adventurers were so focused on the deeper parts of the village they didn’t expect soone in the dense fog at dead of night to have designs on their speedboat!
"Gregory, there might be oddities in this place, right? The legendary ’Fountain of Youth’ is the blood of deities, not easily obtained. The last ti soone acquired it was two thousand years ago, and things might have changed since then."
"Hey, Sofia, have so food first and don’t think too much."
"Even if we encounter local natives, it’s no issue; we are well-prepared and could possibly hold our own even if we face oddities."
As the team’s leader Gregory took out a delicate rose, pinning it on his chest strap.
This was a special plant from the "Rose Cross Society": when malicious forces approach, this mysterious rose would sense them first, and the flower would instantly wilt as a warning.
Suddenly!
The group cocked their ears, hearing a "cluttering" noise!
It sounded very close, and the noise was trendously loud.
Fear,
instantly appeared on the faces of every adventurer in the team.
So held their breath, so trembled, and others reached for tools...
They looked at each other, muscles tensed.
Was a strange entity attacking?!
Gregory clenched his fists, ready to defend.
He glanced at the rose on his chest, which showed no signs of wilting.
He waved his hand again, signalling a team mber to walk out of the temple to check the source of the sound.
This sound was strange...
Did it belong to the industrial era?
"What’s going on?"
Suddenly, a startled man shouted, completely losing his composure, "It’s our boat!"
"Sobody is stealing our boat!"
"Our boat has been stolen!"
"Fuck, damn thief."
The group of people felt a chilling sensation, as if they had seen a ghost, and they broke into a frantic chase!
Even though it was extrely dangerous outside, these eight people were still chasing madly, trying to catch the speeding boat.
Once they boarded, the boat was stolen, what the hell!
The boat contained many survival materials and was also their reliance to return to the real world.
Without the boat, were they supposed to swim back?
"Hello everyone, Five Stars good citizen caught stealing a boat! Not arrested!"
Wang Hao heard the cursing from the riverbank, and his mood beca even more gleeful.
To reduce noise, these people had rowed over personally, and they carelessly left the keys on the motor, which he promptly took.
He was steering the wheel, and since it was his first ti driving, plus only one light in the pitch dark, he was not very accustod to it and hit the riverbank several tis with a "bang, bang, bang."
It wasn’t until soone almost caught up with him that he managed to enter the river center at the last mont and sailed swiftly.
"Shoot, shoot!"
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang!
Gunshots ca from the other side of the river, and in the pitch-dark environnt, compounded by the heavy fog, the bullets did not hit any vital points.
"With such a big boat, surely it wouldn’t be overturned by a wave."
"Now I’m going to find my silly brother! I must get out of this map and see if the ga system will crash!"
Battling the ga system was endless fun.
But just as the thought surfaced, a mysterious green hand grabbed his arm out of nowhere!
"Fuck... I knew this damn system would take the opportunity to ss things up," Wang Hao had ntally prepared for such weird occurrences.
Under the state of infinite lives, he reacted like a shot of adrenaline had been injected into him, quick as lightning.
With the greatest speed, he picked up a rusty kitchen knife and fiercely slashed down.
But with a Physique of 60, he lacked the strength, and the attack seed not even to break the skin; then, he was violently pulled into the riverbed.
"The boat is over there, over there!"
"There are oddities! Lots of them!"
Using the flashlight beam coming from the riverbank, Wang Hao saw beneath the riverbed, a dense mass of greenish figures.
Sensing the presence of humans, these figures were continually moving upstream.
"Snap!"
Since the driver had fallen into the river, the speedboat was uncontrolled and crashed onto shore.
"There are creatures in the river!"
"Save ... save ! I’ve been caught!"
The scene before his eyes darkened, and as Wang Hao was pulled under the water, hearing the screams from the riverbank, he made a rough assessnt of this exploration team’s strength.
Simply described in one word: diocre.
The creatures in the riverbed weren’t very strong, at least they didn’t appear during the day.
It was a wonder why these guys had the courage to explore this haunted place.
No wonder humanity is the most incomprehensible species, with no sense of their own limits.
[You have died.]
[Reason: Killed by unknown creatures in the river.]
Emm... Not bad, it tested the boundaries of the ga system.
To avoid various bugs, even the most liberal ga wouldn’t let the main character run off the map.
As for the exploration team...
You screwed over once, and I paid you back in kind, we’re even now.
Finally, I can properly start playing.
Yes, Wang Hao was a person who held grudges, "I don’t hold grudges, I settle them on the spot."
...
As he respawns, the familiar scene and the familiar shouts co from outside the temple again.
He could recite these lines by heart.
"The fog has cleared! The fog has cleared! Haha, we’ve found the place."
"There’s a temple on the riverbank, with ’Ganlu Temple’ written on it... just like in the records!"
Wang Hao stood right at the temple entrance, cupping his hands around his mouth: "Hey—hey—the people over there!"
This small boat pierced through the heavy mist and entered Taoyuan Village.
Standing on the boat, the guide "Pan Hao" saw children in the distance calling them and imdiately prepared for defense, feeling for the heirloom dagger on his belt.
With a trace of caution, he did not throw the dagger.
