Chapter 2: The God Has Begun

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ti had halted for everybody, but Wei Huo did not know how long the ti halt would last. It could be days, months, years, or even decades. Who knew if it might even be halted till the day he dies?

‘If that was really the case, what should I do?’

There were supermarkets, restaurants, and a variety of food in the service area. However, the food’s shelf-life could only last him for a short ti. He needed to go hunting, and grow his own vegetables for self-sustainability.

Wei Huo took out his phone and realized that there was still a network connection. All thanks to the highly-developed technology in this era, machines could still work by themselves even though ti had halted. He was provided electricity, water, and an internet connection for the ti being, but what if these machines broke down?

Wei Huo needed to be self-sufficient. The first thing that ca to his mind was to head back ho. Although there was still about 200 kiloters from his ho, he could drive soone’s car since ti had been halted. Right then, the cruel reality hit him again.

First of all, he could not open the doors of occupied vehicles. Secondly, vehicles on the highways stayed stock-still. Needless to say, God would not have made such a howler. A chain collision would have happened if ti was halted for humans but not their vehicles.

It did not matter if it were vehicles, rooms, toilets, or offices in the service area. As long as there were people present, the doors could not be opened. That ought to be God’s protection for humans who had their ti halted. Otherwise, being surrounded by carnivorous plants and creepy creatures would have been too difficult for humans to escape when ti started flowing again.

The fact that he would not be able to open his house door made him changed his mind. He could only search for supplies at shops that were currently opened. At the sa ti, he should look up for information and knowledge regarding farming, equipnt maintenance, and other survival skills on the Internet.

He hastily took out his phone and started downloading that information. He was not sure when the Internet connection or electricity would be cut off. It was safer for him to download the information and record it in his book. After all, he had zero knowledge regarding farming.

Farming was not just about digging a hole, planting a seed and watering the plants. Now that the environnt had beco much more complicated and abominable, mutation of vegetations and animals had been accelerated. Moreover, he still had to keep an eye on pests, weeds, and also the weather... It was just too hard!

Wei Huo suddenly felt that it was too hard for him to survive. Even if all the human beings united, many would have still died during the earth’s gamification. It was just too difficult for him to survive on his own!

Wei Huo crumbled. After feeling dispirited for about three hours, he pulled himself together. Co to think of it, did it not an that he basically owned the whole world since ti was halted for all humanity?

That ant he could do anything he wanted. ‘If I could stay alive.’ He would skip school, work, and do not need to earn any money. ‘If I could stay alive.’ He could drive all the luxurious cars he wanted and lived in any mansion he liked. ‘If I could stay alive.’

Wei Huo was speechless. “...”

What was wrong with this dual personality internal monologue of his? It did not have to keep emphasizing the ‘If I could stay alive’ phrase!

It was right however, the premise was that he had to stay alive. Wei Huo was clueless about how long the ti halt would last. If it was just a short while, he could survive with all those packaged food. What happened if ti halted for a long ti? He should at least be able to stay alive until the end of his lifespan, right?

Fear stemd from his heart. He was left all alone in this world with nobody else to socialize with. Even worse than that was he had to confront all sorts of crises by himself. Who would not be afraid of such a situation? There was still a glimr of hope in his heart. All humanity would return to normal as long as tistream recovered. He just needed to wait for that day to co. Yes, just wait.

Just when Wei Huo finally regained his confidence, the voice of God appeared again.

“Vegetation growth and animal reproduction accelerated by 10 tis.

“New nu ‘Vegetation and Animal Attributes’ added.

“Humanity’s immunity and digestive ability strengthened.

“Quest System implented.”

Wei Huo was stupefied from hearing all those voices. At that mont, another voice spoke next to his ears.

“New quest, ‘Food and Security’. The Player is required to craft a wooden bow and 10 wooden arrows. A hunting knife will be rewarded once the quest is completed.

“Quest hint. If the Player does not know how to craft bow and arrow, please consult soone who knows.”

Wei Huo was speechless. “...”

‘Consult your big d*mn head! Where should I even find a person who knows how to craft bows and arrows?’

Wei Huo thought things were going to turn around, only to discover he was left helpless. What a scam!

On second thoughts, Wei Huo realized that instead of consulting an actual person, he could just look it up on the Internet with his mobile phone!

Indeed, Wei Huo found tonnes of information ranging from videos to images of bow and arrow crafting thods as soon as he turned on his mobile phone. However, online shopping was not possible. In fact, at this mont he could never purchase it online. He could only learn how to craft them from the tutorial videos.

There was still plenty of ti. Wei Huo could survive with packaged food he got from the service area’s supermarket for at least a year. He could now take his ti learning how to craft bows and arrows. He soon found a video of so young European guy crafting primitive bow and arrow. That guy had not used any modern tools when crafting. His knife was made from polished river stone, his axe by binding a piece of wood to that river stone. That was a revelation to Wei Huo.

Imitating that guy in the video, Wei Huo grabbed a fire axe and hiked up the mountains.

Why make a stone axe from scratch when you have a fire axe? Wei Huo found the fire axe in a private car. Besides that, he also found so camping gadgets like a lighter, a tent, sleeping bags, and kerosene lamps in that car. It seed like the owner of that car was a camping enthusiast.

Wei Huo acquired all of these gadgets at the expense of others. However, everybody else was protected by the golden radiance when ti halted. Wei Huo was the only one forced to survive alone. It would not be excessive to borrow so stuff from others, right?

Wei Huo did not gain much on the first day although he was already up in the mountains. He still could not distinguish which wood was better for crafting bow and arrow. However, it was fine since he still had ti. Surprisingly the next day when he continued hiking up the mountains, wild grass grew much taller on the second day in comparison to the first day!

Vegetation growth had indeed been accelerated!

Wei Huo was unsure whether that was considered good news or bad news. It would be good if he started growing his crops as they would have matured faster, but that ant the city would soon be covered by countless vegetation invaders. He would be eliminated if he could not adapt to living in the wild!

Fortunately, on the third day, Wei Huo completed his quest and had successfully crafted a bow and 10 arrows. At the sa ti, an exquisite Damascus hunting knife was added into Wei Huo’s inventory.
