Spirit Candle Forum

"Let's try searching first."

After learning about the functions of Traction Fire, Rogue let out a breath and decided to give it a try.

He still used his hand to touch the Traction Fire, having the Spirit Candle channel its stored candlewax into it...

[Searching the area...]

[Search complete. Three areas have been marked!]

[Area One: Unknown Underwater Cave (requires 128 candlewax for traction)]

[Area Two: Unknown Island (requires 511 candlewax)]

[Area Three...]

After using Traction Fire to search, three relatively large fluctuations swiftly appeared in Rogue's perception.

The closest one was beneath the nearshore waters around Candlewood Island.

Perhaps because it was so close, the candlewax required for traction was not much at all, practically on a completely different level from the other areas.

Rogue's eyes lit up.

He had not expected there to be a chaotic area suitable for traction near Candlewood Island.

"But I'm still short on candlewax..."

Rogue shook his head.

He chose to set that area aside for the time being.

At present, Candlewood Island and the nearby nearshore area were enough for the players' early development.

Seven players were still too few. He needed to keep summoning players and increase the speed at which he acquired candlewax.

After returning to the Spirit Candle, Rogue began focusing on another issue: how new players obtained information.

Although the group chat and guides created by the veteran players Li Miao and Yuanfang had alleviated this problem to some extent, Rogue felt that he should probably set up an official website or something.

New players could choose to look through those things when entering the game, which would also help them adapt more quickly.

With that thought, Rogue began considering whether it was feasible.

"Building an official website might be a little difficult, but making a forum shouldn't be a problem..."

"This season feels boring."

After playing two rounds of auto chess, Li Miao returned to his dorm and complained.

However, as he exited the game, he suddenly noticed that Yuanfang seemed to have sent him a message.

Yuanfang: "Spirit Candle Official has created a game forum."

He had always been concise.

Li Miao could not help but feel a little surprised after reading it.

Compared to other virtual reality games, Spirit Candle was downright heretical. Its waiting area was as bare and clean as an unfinished apartment, and it had no official website, forum, or customer support.

It seemed they had finally come to their senses!

"Let's go take a look!"

Li Miao immediately got excited, tossing his phone aside and putting on his helmet.

Before long, he arrived in the game's waiting area.

Unlike the previous pitch-black void, the interface now had an additional entry window.

[Spirit Candle Forum]

[The official website forum is now open. All Candle Spirits, please enter and discuss the game!]

"This is way too crude."

"It's hard to imagine this game's current financial situation... Don't tell me it won't even survive the testing phase..."

Seeing the simplistic forum window, Li Miao could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth as he complained.

It was truly hard to imagine that, as a player, he would one day worry about whether a game might shut down because of insufficient funds...

When he opened the forum, it was just as crude as the window. There were only a handful of discussion threads inside.

Spirit Candle Official: "Due to technical limitations, this game currently has a limited number of testing slots. More will gradually be added later. Features such as in-game screenshots are also not yet available. We ask for your understanding!"

"Future game update announcements will also be posted on the forum."

Li Miao smacked his lips.

He naturally knew how impressive Spirit Candle's technology was, so he was not surprised by the contents of the post.

Then there were posts from some players already in the game, along with posts from a few passersby.

Poetry and the Distance: [Beginner Guide · Essential Information About the Game]

I Do Push-Ups with Niuniu: "Is this official website of yours legit?"

Battle Thrill: "I desperately need a weapon that can attack Nearshore Specters!"

Bees Don't Like Flying: "Lewd pics, thanks!"

My Son Failed, I Went Ashore: "My dear son says this game is good. Looking for a testing slot!"

This Venerable One Suppresses All Enemies: "What trash game. The description is pretty well made, though. You even hired fake reviewers, putting on a convincing act."

"..."

Li Miao lost interest after looking through it for a moment. There were too few people on the forum right now, and nothing useful.

Back online. Time to keep grinding!

Time gradually passed.

Candlewood Island had returned to daytime once more, with the sea breeze blowing.

By now, Yuanfang had basically mastered the use of the short bow in his hand.

He and Li Miao had also received two items modified from Long-winged Poison Feathers from the Candle Keepers.

[Poison Feather Bracelet (Fine)]

[Type: Accessory]

[Description: Can add a trace amount of poison to your attacks.]

[Poison Feather Arrows ×10]

[Type: Consumable]

[Description: Made from Long-winged Poison Feathers. Hitting an enemy will inflict the Poisoned status.]

A Fine-grade accessory and ten arrows with a Poisoned effect—pretty decent.

"I wonder if the Poisoned effect works on Nearshore Specters."

Li Miao rubbed his chin.

Yuanfang shook his head. "Probably not. Those arrows need to hit before they can take effect."

Nearshore Specters.

They were now the only type of monster on Candlewood Island that the players had never killed.

The reason was not difficult to guess.

As specters, they could ignore physical attacks. It was extremely broken, so the players currently had no way to deal with them.

Brother Mangzi had suffered defeat at the hands of Nearshore Specters more than once, and he was still thinking about getting revenge.

"Let's go."

Yuanfang temporarily put away his short bow and called out to Li Miao.

Next, they would take the Spirit Fire Raft to explore the nearshore waters.

"Guagua said there don't seem to be many monsters nearshore. Even if there are, they should be pretty scattered."

Li Miao said.

After returning from fishing last time, Guagua had naturally told them about her experience.

Of course, he did not think the nearshore waters were truly free of danger, but the monsters being relatively scattered was probably true.

Whoosh—

Just as Li Miao finished speaking, a wandering soul suddenly streaked through their field of vision and shot into the cave.

Li Miao was bewildered. "What the heck just flew past?"

After recalling it, Yuanfang said, "It was Brother Yu."

As soon as he finished speaking, Brother Yu walked out of the cave with a grim expression, looking as though he was on the verge of exploding at any moment.

"Uh... Brother Yu, what's... wrong?"

Li Miao asked cautiously.

Hearing that, Brother Yu seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped. He said in a muffled voice, "My fish are gone."

"My rod's gone too..."

"...And the raft."

His body was gone too.

Li Miao and Yuanfang both thought of that at the same time. After all, Brother Yu had returned as nothing but a soul just now...

"What happened? Did you run into some powerful monster?"

Li Miao asked curiously.

"Yeah." Brother Yu nodded and sighed, looking somewhat depressed. "More accurately, I hooked one..."
