A Gift: A "Heart" That Could Grow!

Chinese mythology has a long and rich history.

Its uniqueness, rooted in its cultural mother, has made it a distinctive entity throughout the long Earth Calendar.

Take the myth of "shooting down the sun" as an example.

Within China, there were dozens of heroes who shot down the sun.

From the Tujia People myth of Luan Yu Shooting the Sun, to the Mongolian People of Wu En Shooting the Sun, to the Blang People myth of Gu Miya Shooting the Sun, to the Zhuang People of Han Hong Shooting the Sun.

Then there are Hou Ye Shooting the Sun, Te Kang Shooting the Sun, Lang Zheng Shooting the Sun, Zhang Guolao Shooting the Sun, Wang Sheng Shooting the Sun, Yang Que Shooting the Sun, and so on.

These myths, scattered across different places, are remarkably similar.

However, when viewed abroad, this myth of shooting down the sun is extremely rare; instead, myths that evolved from the "worship" of the rising sun are more common.

day by day.

When Su Mo drew this speedboat, he guessed that it might have some connection with Western mythology.

But when its true full appearance slowly emerged on the sea, he still couldn't contain his shock! The speedboat's paint job remained an elegant black and purple, without much mystery.

But on its left is a picture of a wild man with disheveled hair, roaring at the sky! This picture is drawn so vividly that it inspires fear in anyone who sees it.

On its right is a "Sun Golden Crow" with distinctly Eastern characteristics, radiating a hazy Golden Light.

Right now, it's just past noon, and the sun is right in the center.

Strangely, the wild man's eyes also seemed to be fixed on the sky, constantly chasing the direction of the sun.

The sun also seemed to transform into a 3D pattern, mirroring the sun in the sky, exuding an attractive aura as it breathed in and out, drawing the light from the sky towards the ship.

"Kuafu chasing the sun?"

As this strange thought arose, a dizzying, familiar feeling washed over me.

Looking at the Sun Chasing Yacht, Su Mo's eyes suddenly became deep.

Just like the story behind the Thought Ring he saw last time, the story of the Sun Chasing Yacht began to slowly rise in his vision.

"I am Wu Yuan, born into the powerful Ancient Witch Clan, and my goal is... the sun in the sky!"

After a jolt, Su Mo's vision blurred, and a deep male voice rang in his ears.

After the perspective shifted, a wonderful experience arose.

Through unique first-person and third-person perspectives, you can see the strange sights etched into the Sun Chasing Yacht.

Unlike last time, this time Wu Yuan's story unfolds from a first-person perspective.

It was as if he had become Wu Yuan. Although he could not control his body, Su Mo gained some freedom in terms of perspective.

Pull down to look, and this unfamiliar sea area initially appears to be endless.

But as Su Mo's gaze drifted, he was taken aback to discover something.

The water level in this sea area is a pitiful few dozen meters, and you can see the bottom at a glance! But if you look up, you can see nine suns standing in the sky, radiating endless light.

Under this light, the seawater carrying the ships was rapidly evaporating, and a hazy white mist was spreading everywhere.

"There are actually nine suns here?"

Seeing this scene, which was almost identical to that in Chinese mythology, Su Mo gasped in shock.

Nine no, I should say nine.

These suns do not move along a fixed trajectory, but rather drift naturally in the sky, flying like birds.

They played joyfully, shooting down a blazing inferno that hurtled downwards.

"Nine suns, chasing the sun, does this Wu Yuan intend to shoot down the sun?"

Turning his head, this time, Su Mo looked inside the speedboat!

Inside the speedboat's cabin, the standing humans, due to the first-person perspective, cannot have their faces clearly seen.

However, based on his attire, Su Mo could immediately tell that this person was the savage who painted on the ship.

At this moment, in his left hand, he held a powerful bow engraved with dragon patterns.

His right hand had already drawn a long black arrow, solemnly awaiting what lay ahead.

As time went by, the speedboat sped up and got closer and closer to the sun in the sky.

Wu Yuan finally nocked the black arrow onto the great bow and fired the crucial arrow at the sun in the sky! And this arrow seemed to break the balance.

He pointed with both hands, and the large bow began to continuously release arrows.

In a short while, seven of the nine suns in the sky were shot down by the savages, leaving only the last two.

But these last two, as if frightened, fled rapidly toward the horizon.

With his last ounce of strength, Wu Yuan's eighth arrow struck the sun that was the slowest to escape.

However, due to the great distance, it ultimately failed to deliver a fatal blow, only diminishing its brilliance.

This arrow used up all of Wu Yuan's power.

He fell down, but he didn't completely fall down.

His eyes were wide with anger as he knelt on one knee on the boat, his body being carried forward by the Sun Chasing Yacht.

From then on, fearing annihilation, the two suns transformed into one appearing in the daytime and the other guarding the light at night.

Through the bizarre and fantastical space tunnel, the story etched on the Sun Chasing Yacht is now coming to an end.

A flash of light followed.

The next second, Su Mo's vision returned to normal, and the Hope, the Sun Chasing Yacht, and the familiar sea area reappeared.

"Wow, this is a high-end version of the story of shooting down the sun!"

"This is outrageous! It even incorporates some details of Kuafu chasing the sun!"

I rubbed my eyes, which were slightly sore from staring at the bright light for so long.

As Su Mo rowed the lifeboat, he muttered to himself as he summoned the system to conduct an assessment.

The pale green light pulsed in and out, and a familiar yet long-unseen attribute panel slowly appeared.

[Sun Chasing Yacht (Epic)]

[Description]: This is an epic-class ship engraved with the story of "Wu Yuan Chasing the Sun". Because it carries the indomitable spirit of Wu Yuan, the ship has the ability to live forever towards the sun. As long as there is a series of luminous bodies such as the sun, moon, light sources, and rays, it can directly absorb them as energy and sail indefinitely. Because of the core of its epic story, the ship has great growth potential. In the future, its main components can be disassembled and upgraded into land vehicles, air vehicles, and even space travel vehicles!

[Power Source]: Solar Power [Speed]: Cruising: 40 knots; Maximum Speed: 60 knots

[Special Ability]: Light Chaser (The Sun Chasing Yacht Chaser spends its entire life chasing the light; its powerful core drive allows the ship to increase its speed by a fixed 25% when facing the sun.)

Tireless (as long as there is light, the ship does not need any other energy replenishment, including but not limited to: sunlight, moonlight, and lamplight).

Travel with the Light (As long as the speedboat absorbs light and its durability is above 5%, it can maintain a self-healing speed of 15% per day, regardless of the type of damage it suffers. This speed will be affected by the quality of the light source and will be enhanced to a certain extent.)

High-energy stealth (a speedboat powered by pure light energy, which produces no noise while moving and can effectively absorb various Light Wave and rays for detection)

Disassembly (each major part of the speedboat can be disassembled and separated, with extremely high potential for growth) [Evaluation]: It carries the gift left by a generation of Earthlings. Perhaps in the future, you can find and discover something different!

"Hiss"

"These attributes."

"And the system's evaluation is really generous!"

As soon as he stepped onto the deck of the Sun Chasing Yacht, Su Mo was completely stunned when he saw the attribute panel that appeared in front of him.

In a sense, this epic Sun Chasing Yacht is far superior to the initial version of the Hope! No matter how the Hope's attributes change, its core is simply a ship derived from a rare-class Destroyer Blueprint.

His various special abilities are primarily for use in naval combat and do not offer much real potential for growth.

Of course, a ship's battlefield is the sea.

Except for that monster, the Sun Chasing Yacht!

In terms of naval combat capabilities, the speedboat is far inferior to the Hope, which already weighs several thousand tons. However, its miraculous growth potential has shown Su Mo the terrifying value of this epic vessel.

In other words, this is not a ship, but a heart!

With it, with its light source, one can continuously output power and provide a constant source of repair.

Even in most environments, this heart is far more powerful than the All Material Conversion Engine!

"Gift."

"Could this be yet another different path taken by a new generation?"

Stroking every inch of the speedboat, Su Mo patiently examined and explored, trying to discover the origin of this gift.

Compared to the planks on the Hope, the planks on the speedboat were slightly softer and less rigid.

But it possesses a magical ability to absorb the sunlight from above.

Thanks to the special ability of the Light Chaser, this sunlight will be converted into power and stored in a certain area below the deck.

After searching for a Sun Chasing Yacht was a small box that was only one meter square and could not be opened.

With a look of surprise, Su Mo slowly walked into the cockpit.

Just as the system had predicted, he indeed saw many things on this ship that were the work of Earthlings.

For example, the cockpit does not use the traditional wheel-type steering wheel, but an advanced joystick-type steering wheel, combined with computer assistance.

The seats are not old-fashioned rubber seats, but luxurious sofas, perfectly in line with modern aesthetics.

At this moment, although the speedboat was not yet powered on, the words "charging" were already displayed on the only 13-inch screen in the center.

"Recharged by 2% in ten minutes"

"This efficiency is pretty good; it takes about ten hours to fully charge. I just don't know how long it can last once it's running!"

The entire speedboat, like the modular items, uses high-end components.

Even the interconnected lines are all enclosed within the object, with very few exposed points.

In such a situation, there is basically no way to study it unless it is completely disassembled and each part is scanned individually.

This kind of confidentiality mechanism is very common, yet extremely useful.

Fortunately, the problem facing Su Mo at present is not how to obtain the heart; he only wants the speedboat's function.

Sitting imposingly in the main seat, Su Mo was not shy at all. He immediately scanned the area and found the bright red start button in the center.

Hold it down, and the ship will shake for a few seconds.

Although the ship was completely silent due to its special ability, the screen in the cockpit displayed a message welcoming the captain.

Perhaps because the game had cleaned up its internal files, after searching through the driving system for a while and finding nothing, Su Mo gave up the idea of continuing the search.

On his first attempt, he first pulled the handbrake and then pressed the accelerator hard.

But this speedboat was incredibly fast, with power almost instantly available, and it shot forward in half a second.

The sofa was thrown backward by the huge inertia, but it was okay because it was fixed by the screws and metal plates underneath.

Su Mo, the one in charge, was thrown off his seat and flew into the air.

Fortunately, he is currently in a state enhanced by the Divine Envoy Experience Card, which grants him 20 times the power.

In mid-air, after two skillful rolls to dissipate the force, Su Mo landed steadily on the floor behind him.

"Damn, this power is really awesome!"

"When I was on the Hope before, I didn't realize how fast 40 knots was at sea, but now that I see it, it's frighteningly fast!"

Just like driving an electric car for the first time, the power from this light energy is even more rapid than that from electricity.

In less than half a second, it can accelerate to over 70 mph.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Su Mo returned to the driver's seat this time without acting rashly, and slowly pressed the accelerator.

Now, the ship's acceleration finally became linear.

From slow to fast, the driving experience of the Sun Chasing Yacht is exceptionally comfortable, with no noise.

In five minutes, after circling the Hope three times, Su Mo had already gained a basic understanding of the speedboat's various attributes.

"The speedboat's internal system has no files; if someone else were in charge, they would have to operate it entirely manually."

"But the fact that I don't have anything isn't a problem for me."

"By simply copying Gonggong, this speedboat will also have Automatic Driving System!"

"There's no time like the present, let's just copy Gonggong over here and set off immediately, we should be back the day after tomorrow!"

After pondering for a moment, with the Sun Chasing Yacht, Su Mo quickly calculated the duration of the Ocean God Envoy Experience Card and immediately made a decision.

Right now, although there is still time, we should dedicate as much time as possible to repairing the rocket and learning how to operate it for launch.

When the time comes, we can wait until we're on our way to the New Continent to study speedboats properly!
