Chapter 13: Aren’t We Supposed To Go South?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After taming the Giant Panda, a new ssage popped up on Wei Huo’s Social Feed. “You’re now the owner of the Giant Panda.”
Wei Huo took a look at it, and it seed like it was possible to na that panda as well. Wei Huo glanced at its foolish look and imdiately nad it ‘Big Fool’. An abbreviation for ‘Big Foolish Panda’.
Wei Huo looked over at the tiger and said, “Let’s call this second fatty, ‘Fatty Tiger’.”
The panda and tiger were both confused. ‘What are you talking about? We don’t understand anything.’
After Wei Huo was done with naming them, the long-lost voice of God appeared again.
“New nu ‘Map’ added.
“Modifying Earth’s tectonic plates to increase land area. Marine lifeforms disembarknt began.
“Biological evolution has accelerated.
“New blueprint ‘Basic Construction Blueprint’ added.”
Wei Huo was confused. “???”
‘What does modifying Earth’s tectonic plates an?’
Just as God’s voice trailed off, Wei Huo heard an incredibly loud noise. It was a rumbling noise that sounded like a road roller. Soon after that, the ground vibrated, and it was getting stronger along with the loud noise. Wei Huo gradually got into a squat position on the ground. He could not stand still amidst such strong shocks!
The sky was shaking. The lands were moving. There were even landslides with the Earth all cracked up!
Those were the only phrases that were most appropriate to describe what was happening. Apart from the buildings and cars that experienced a ti halt along with humans, everything else was about to be baptized by that super earthquake from the modification of Earth’s plates.
Thankfully, Wei Huo was in the wild at the mont. Due to his luck, he was in the central region of the land. Although a horrifying earthquake was happening from the plates’ movent, it did not hurt Wei Huo too badly. He only suffered a few scrapes on his body.
The panda and tiger did not understand what was happening. They hid under the trees while trembling. They thought an apocalypse was happening.
Wei Huo whipped up the Attributes nu and saw the ‘Map’ option. He opened it to find the World Map, and all the continents on the map were moving. While these movents seed minor on the map, it was the opposite in reality.
There were landslides and the cracks on Earth. It was as good as a 10-magnitude super earthquake.
Fortunately, humans were experiencing the ti halt whilst animals and plants had undergone mutations over a hundred years. Animals had gotten bigger, while plants beca stronger with their roots now being more developed to grip on the land firmly.
Wei Huo studied the map closely and realized that continents were breaking up and moving in different directions. The area Wei Huo was on was moving towards the north.
Wei Huo scrunched his eyebrows at that very mont. “We have no choice but to go south!”
The climate on earth was extrely horrible at the mont. If that area continued moving north, the average temperature would drop significantly. If animals and plants did not have good enough adapting skills, most of them would die in the blink of an eye!
They had to move south!
The earthquake’s magnitude gradually decreased. The super earthquake before was caused by the strong, tearing force in the Earth. As the plates began to drift at a slower speed, the degree of vibration decreased as well. The mont the plates reached its position, it was necessary to slow down otherwise there would be another super earthquake!
There were changes in all continents according to Wei Huo’s map. It seed like God planned to group continents of the Earth into five continents naly the Centre, Upper, Lower, Left, and Right. It seed like a virtual gaming world at the mont, but God was being a little selfish, was he not?
Wei Huo was sure that if the ti halt for humans ca to an end, everyone would think that they had been teleported into a gaming world. Earth, at its current state, was worlds apart from what it used to be.
Wei Huo patted both his trembling beasts and pointed towards the south.
“We have to move towards the south!” Wei Huo said.
Both beasts did not understand what Wei Huo was talking about. They were startled by the sudden earthquake. There were no telling signs of it. It was caused by a mysterious and sudden crack in the Earth. That was why those animals were not able to predict the earthquake in advance despite their instinctive hunches.
Wei Huo began moving southwards. Although the beasts did not understand what had just happened, they followed Wei Huo instinctively.
They naively assud that following Wei Huo was their best shot at survival because of his strength and goodwill.
It was important for animals to improve their living conditions while they were alive. What was wrong with being adorable to be fed? There was no need to take the trouble of hunting when they could just live an easy life! Their ego would not feed them.
Just as Wei Huo prepared to move along with the beasts, a quest was triggered.
“New quest, ‘Safety and Defence’. The human body is fragile. Equip yourself with protective gear. A ga item will be rewarded once the quest is completed.”
Wei Huo was stunned. Another ga item? He had already collected Doran’s Shield. Could it be that he was not too far from collecting the Bloodthirster1?
He had to complete the quest no matter what it was!
Wei Huo said to the beasts, “Give a mont!”
Wei Huo ran in the direction of the north. He rembered that there were bamboos growing in that direction, and he could use them as armor. Nonetheless, bamboo-made armors were pretty useless. His own skin was tougher than those.
Both beasts were confused. “???”
‘Aren’t we supposed to go south?’
They could not understand the human language. That was why wherever Wei Huo went, they just followed him.
When they saw Wei Huo cutting bamboo sticks, they followed suit despite not knowing why he needed to do so.
Nothing ever goes wrong when you follow whatever the leader does, even if you don’t know why.
Wei Huo was confused when he saw these two chewing on the bamboo sticks. ‘What’s going on? You’re eating bamboo sticks? It was normal for pandas to do so, but why was the tiger chewing on them as well?’
Wei Huo saw them breaking the bamboo sticks up after chewing on them and followed the way he put those sticks together. He was confused yet again. ‘What’s going on, were you guys assigned to the quest as well?’
Wei Huo made his own armor by tying the bamboo sticks together using tree vines. It was a rectangular-shaped armor. There were openings on top as well as both left and right sides of it, and it was empty at the bottom. The insides of it were left empty as well.
After making his own, Wei Huo made armors for the beasts as well to protect their vulnerable stomach. However, the tiger was uncomfortable after wearing it. It attempted to bite the bamboo-made armor off its body. However, its head could not reach the armor, and it eventually started going in circles.
‘You’re causing trouble for , Fatty Tiger!’
The panda did not resist when the armor was put on it, but after so ti it pulled out a bamboo stick and began nibbling on it.
‘These were snacks for the road!’
Wei Huo facepald. He knew the IQs of these beasts were not as high as he thought.
The trio began moving towards the south while Wei Huo collected the ga item awarded to him.
“Quest ‘Safety and Defence’ completed. You have been rewarded with ‘Strength Bracer’.
“Strength Bracer will slightly increase its bearer’s strength.”
It was a golden bracer, and Wei Huo wore it on his wrist. He threw a few punches and began crying in the next second.
It was a ‘slight’ increase indeed!
