Butterfly Wings in Motion, the Diversity of Human Development
A flash of darkness followed, and the Hope, sailing on the sea, slowly disappeared, replaced by a live broadcast filled with mystery.
Without any external assistance, this immersive VR experience is truly amazing.
Even though Su Mo had entered dozens of times, he was still amazed and looked around in wonder.
"Wait, this doesn't seem to be the deep sea, nor is it shallow sea. New Continent? No, New Continent hasn't appeared yet, how could someone have arrived so quickly!"
"Holy crap, why does this place look so familiar?"
As the image came into focus, Su Mo stared blankly at the endless mountains below, momentarily unable to comprehend what was happening.
Being able to appear on the leaderboard and the Disaster Resistance Live Stream Page means that the player's ship rating has reached the standard set by the game.
Is someone driving a mountain?
Oh no, some people haven't even set off yet?
With these questions in mind, after gaining control of the viewing angle through his thoughts, Su Mo couldn't wait to pull it up and take a look.
But after only ten seconds, Su Mo's eyes began to twitch involuntarily.
Unlike the others, and to everyone's surprise, even Su Mo was taken aback, the player who appeared on the live stream claiming to teach how to obtain the achievement was actually a Holdfast Faction! "Good heavens, there's a spy among the live streamers!"
Su Mo was familiar with this mountain range; it was the very place where the blond-haired boy who had mocked him the second time had been.
Of course, now that the seawater has passed through, the small mountain range where Little Yellow Hair was located has long been submerged.
At this moment, what remains on the surface of the sea after the ocean descends are all the towering mountains that previously seemed terrifying.
Despite the crashing waves, these mountains steadfastly continue to provide a living environment for the people who live on them.
Surrounding the edge of the mountains by the sea, within a five-kilometer observation range, Su Mo could clearly see that at the foot of these mountains, near the sea, an artificial bay had been carved out by the people living on the mountains! In the bay, a small boat, about 15 meters long and with a shape different from the others, was moored.
This ship is familiar to anyone living in a coastal city; it's Fishing Boat! "The world is truly full of wonders. While everyone else is choosing ocean-going vessels to cross the sea to the New Continent, they rely on the land and water, building their own Fishing Boat."
"Currently, marine life has already emerged. As long as there is a market for games, they don't need to worry about transportation or shortages of supplies at this stage. They can rely on Fishing Boat to exchange for a steady stream of goods."
"And this place is practically a natural sea salt production area, it's amazing!"
After surveying the five-kilometer radius of the Gathering Place once more, Su Mo silently gave a thumbs-up to the capable person who had chosen to settle in this place.
Below the mountains lies the ocean. Apart from a path leading up the mountain behind a man-made harbor, the rest of the area is riddled with jagged rocks, making it difficult even for a superhuman race to climb silently.
To get up the mountain, you have to follow the main road up the mountain behind the bay.
However, this strategic route, due to its man-made construction, is... easy to defend and difficult to attack! Even with a cursory glance, Su Mo could find no fewer than ten ambush positions along the way up the mountain.
With such natural barriers and excellent growing grounds, this Ocean Descent Disaster is not a disaster for these people, but rather a rare opportunity!
"Welcome to the Lamb Mountain Range Shelter! I'm Garfield Bieber, yes, the same Bieber as Justin Bieber, but I prefer you call me Garfield!"
After switching to a subjective perspective, a white man appears in the picture. His upper body is naked and covered with dense white hair, giving him a rather muscular appearance.
But after saying Garfield, he made a silly Garfield face, which looked both funny and amusing.
Behind him was the Fishing Boat he had just seen.
On the fishing boat, Su Mo not only saw many Asians of the same skin color as himself, but also many strong black people with dark skin.
"The people are of mixed races, but they chat and laugh while working. It seems that everyone who came to this mountain range together is doing quite well, without external enemies or survival pressures."
"Moreover, judging from their physiques, there must have been plenty of food in these mountains before, which explains their confidence in holding out."
As a newly opened live stream, Garfield is trying to engage everyone who enters the room.
Just like live streaming on Earth, you need to come up with a catchy title and attract enough viewers and traffic before you can start talking about today's topic.
"Hey, Su God from China is here! Ding Zhengqi, Zhai Yuebin, Han Bi, hurry up and enter our live stream, your idol is here!"
Garfield's tone suddenly changed, and he called out more than ten names in a row, shouting excitedly as if he were about to say, "Come and see, it's like watching a god!"
In the void, Su Mo gently rubbed his forehead.
In the past two days, due to the establishment of reputation several times, coupled with the precedent of the game generously distributing 100 points to more than 300 million people on the first night of entering Sun Xian's live broadcast room.
Every time he enters a live streaming room, it causes the same sensation.
Humans have a herd mentality.
Upon hearing that Su God was watching a live stream in a certain room, all the players who had previously missed out on the 100 points distribution surged forward like sharks smelling blood.
They don't care whether they can get it this time; what they care about is missing some important moments! Based on past experience, as long as Su Mo enters the live stream, it only takes a maximum of 10 minutes to gather nearly 1.5 billion viewers.
This time, the speed was even faster than before! In just six minutes, when the popularity of the live broadcast room broke through 2 billion, Garfield, who was standing in the middle of the ship, finally couldn't help but smile and became ecstatic.
Just like last time, this live stream also had an added boost in popularity.
Clearly, the addition of 2 billion people at this time has brought about some changes to his airdrop chest.
And this level of popularity clearly met or even exceeded his expectations.
Naturally, without any beating around the bush, Garfield, standing at the bow of the ship, raised his face and went straight to the point! "Welcome again to our more than two billion fellow Earthlings in our live stream. I'm Garfie Bieber. With so many people here, I won't keep you in suspense. I know you're all curious about the title I'm talking about, so now I'll reveal it and let you see the effect."
As Garfield finished speaking, a light yellow title slowly appeared above his head, as he had set it up.
Compared to sunlight, the color of the title is very weak, but standing in mid-air, it is clearly visible to everyone who observes it through the picture.
"A yellow title, let me see, what is this?"
"Ocean Friend?"
Unsure of what the color of the title represented, Garfield didn't try to hide it and directly revealed all the attributes of his title in the live stream.
Ocean Friend
[Description]: In the vast ocean of the wasteland, you chose to join the Good Lawful faction. Your good deeds were recognized by the Ocean God, so you were granted the title of Ocean Friend. Remember that wearing this title will impose some restrictions on you. Once you break these restrictions, your title will disappear and you will permanently lose the right to obtain it again.
[Title Function ①]: The ocean is your second "mother". When you are on the sea, your basic attributes will be boosted as follows:
1. All physical attributes +1, ocean swimming speed +1, stamina recovery speed on the ocean +50%, injury recovery speed on the ocean +15%.
2. Anti-dizziness attribute +1, anti-hunger attribute +1, anti-epidemic attribute +1.
[Title Function ②]: When the title wearer's ship sails on the sea, it will always receive the favor of marine life. By default, before the title is lost, marine life will never harm the wearer's ship.
[Title Function ③]: After equipping a title, players can continue to perform good deeds on the ocean to upgrade their title level. The more good deeds a player performs, or the closer their relationship with marine life becomes, the more the title's attributes will be improved.
[Restriction ①]: After obtaining and wearing the title, players will never be able to intentionally harm marine life, including but not limited to: fishing, killing, poisoning, attacking with weapons, maliciously ramming, etc., which are 137 behaviors. However, this restriction does not apply to situations where the player's intention is not intentional.
[Restriction ②]: When a player inflicts damage by intention, the title will disappear and there is a chance to incur the hatred of the Ocean God, automatically joining the evil and chaotic faction. When operating at sea, the player will be subject to a certain degree of debuffs and the hatred of marine creatures.
In terms of the attributes of the title, this time the Ocean Friend, in a sense, even more powerful than the Diligent Gardener for ordinary refugees!
Regardless of how overpowered a 1-point bonus to all basic physical attributes is, the stamina recovery speed alone is practically a god-tier skill for some raft riders!
Half the endurance before means that someone who could run 25 kilometers before can now run 50 kilometers.
Based on the multiplier, this 50% recovery rate could easily support them running 70 kilometers, or even 100 kilometers.
As for that restriction, although a few people in the comments still questioned it, Su Mo, who has seen and knows the most about it, simply ignored it! Ocean Land Alien Race are not within the protection restrictions, which means that obtaining this title and fighting against alien races is equivalent to humans gaining more than 50% more combat power out of thin air!
Moreover, even if this rule does not allow for the intentional harm of marine life, there are still many loopholes that can be exploited.
As expected, after seeing the questions raised in the comments, Garfield gently shook his head and began to explain, "I see that everyone is concerned about the restrictions. I can tell you that there is absolutely no problem. For example, on the Fishing Boat at our Lamb Mountain Range Shelter, I am the captain, but when operating the fishing boat..."
"I only need others to give me orders, such as setting down a large net, pulling up a large net, when to cast it, and when to reel it in."
"When I perform these operations, I am merely passively following orders, and it is not recorded in my subjective will. On a ship, as long as one person is not wearing a title, even if everyone else is wearing one and follows his orders to fish, there will be no problem!"
At this point, Garfield seemed quite pleased with himself.
"So I suggest that any boat with two or more people can follow my example. Even if you're traveling alone, don't worry. You can go out to sea first to catch enough fish, and then follow my method to get the title and cross the sea. There won't be any problems at all!"
The term "subjective will" is too vague and too idealistic.
The expected method of exploiting the bug is just the most basic thing for a veteran like Su Mo.
But for other ordinary newbie refugees, this was like a lifesaver, making them eager to ask questions in the chat channel.
"No rush, I'll not only demonstrate it myself today, but I'll also have this brother Su Pajie next to me go through the whole process with me so we can get this title!"
After waiting for a while and not seeing Su Mo's message on the public screen, Garfield seemed a little disappointed and started quickly implementing his plan in the live stream.
