Shipwreck Simulator

"No normal person could beat this kind of game without cheating!"

Roger offered a small protest.

However, Pandora's voice only rang in his ears once.

Then it disappeared.

Roger knew that it wasn't Pandora herself speaking.

It's probably just a little Easter egg set up in the game.

"However, the fact that Pandora has taken such a countermeasure shows that things like the Eir's Lens were quite common during the era when the Celestial God Game were popular..."

"Otherwise, there would be no need for Him to go to such lengths."

Roger caught a piece of information that he wasn't sure if it would be useful.

Let's get back to the matter at hand.

Although what Pandora said was very unpleasant to hear.

But Roger had no reason to refute it.

After all, he did pass the game by cheating.

So he decisively gave up the appeal.

And after completing the Art of Dressing.

He at least qualified to enter the hall.

This means that at least a breakthrough has been found to solve the complex problem that has entangled two major Historical World.

Roger felt much more at ease.

He didn't rush into the hall.

Instead, they set their sights on the second game.

"Since we've come all this way, it wouldn't be right to leave without taking a piece of the treasure..."

Thinking this way.

He then clicked on "Shipwreck Simulator".

As described in the game instructions.

After entering the game.

Roger's vision was then filled with a pitch-black grid.

Then four options appeared before him—

"New game..."

Continue the game...

Load archive...

Exit Game

Roger was quite fond of the game's minimalist style.

The two middle options cannot be selected.

There were no settings or anything like that.

He can only open new games.

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have entered the Celestial God Game ' Shipwreck Simulator '."

Do you want to begin character creation?...

Step 1.

Please select a character card——"

On the character selection screen.

Roger had four options in total.

They are "Sailor", "Girl", "Chef", and "Labrador Retriever".

The identity card did not contain much information.

Only a general description—

"Sailor: An experienced cargo ship sailor possesses extensive maritime knowledge, so his expertise may help you survive in exile after a shipwreck."

"Girl: A naive and innocent young girl, radiating sunshine. She's optimistic and cheerful, the kind of girl everyone would like, maybe even God?"

"The chef: The obese chef's more robust physique meant he needed to consume more food every day, but he happened to be in the kitchen before the shipwreck, so perhaps he had some extra gains?"

"Labrador: As you can see, it's just a dog. Why not let it try? Perhaps a dog really is more likely to survive this kind of accident than a human?"

Roger's gaze swept back and forth between the four options.

His eyes were filled with suspicion.

The first three options are fine.

What's with the fourth character card?

Would you really choose to become a dog and wander the seas? That doesn't make any sense! No normal person would choose to become a dog.

But considering this is a game made by Pandora.

Roger couldn't help but wonder if the fourth character card might be the key to clearing the game—after all, this god seemed to have his own unique thought process.

"The Art of Dressing" already embodies this point.

"This might not be a proper text adventure game!"

Roger thought about it for a moment.

Follow the prompts when entering the game.

He can create up to three files.

The files do not interfere with each other.

They can even be done simultaneously.

When a normal person starts a game, they would usually exclude the one non-human character.

Roger felt it was better not to do that for now.

What if Pandora has set some kind of trap here? So...

He decided to take it one step at a time.

Considering Pandora's gender.

For the first file, he chose a young girl.

"Hint: You have chosen the girl; your character's luck increases by 3..."

Background story loading...

You come from the coastal city of White Sail Port.

Your father was a sailor who roamed the seas.

Your mother passed away many years ago, and you were raised by your maternal grandmother.

You are an optimistic and cheerful girl, full of sunshine. You are always positive and have the ability to infect everything. Girls like you who always have a smile on their face are more likely to be blessed by God, so you always get good luck every time you go out.

recently.

You boarded the Moonlight Queen at your father's invitation, which he called a trip.

Once aboard, he excitedly tells you that the captain of the Moonlight Queen has found the exact location of the legendary Moonlight Island, and their destination is that mysterious place where time and space intersect—

There is a legend at sea.

If the ship can find Moonlight Island.

Those who land on the island may gain the power to travel through time.

They will see the people or things they most want to see on the island.

They might also become immortal and transform into gods.

It was during this conversation with your father that you learned that he had been away from home for many years because he was desperately searching for Moonlight Island at sea. He longed to travel through time and space so that he could see your mother, who had been dead for many years, one last time...

Moved by your father's unwavering determination, you decide to join him in searching for the legendary Moonlight Island.

It's a pity.

Upon reaching the vicinity of Moonlight Island's coordinates, a sudden shipwreck shatters your and your father's beautiful dream...

When you wake up.

You only have a small boat and the following three things with you—

Please select (choose 3 out of 9)

Compass: Experienced sailors can use this to determine direction.

Five portions of food: A normal person consumes one portion of food per day, while in extreme circumstances, half a portion of food can barely sustain life...

Freshwater Stone: A stone with mysterious magic that can purify one liter of seawater into freshwater every day, but you don't know when it will lose its magic.

A water tank and 12 liters of water: a very sturdy metal box, you don't know where it came from, or why its weight seems to have no effect on the boat, you just need to know that the water inside can sustain your life.

Repellent Potion: A large packet of pale yellow powder; just sprinkle a little around the area to repel snakes, insects, sharks, and even large monsters.

Note: This Repellent Potion is ineffective against tyrannical sea monsters...

The cross: A somewhat old cross. It can be used for prayer; perhaps some benevolent deity will answer your prayers. Of course, not all deities who answer your prayers are benevolent.

Incomplete Sea Chart: Although incomplete, this grid map is so easy that even a Labrador Retriever can understand it.

The Thick Harpoon: an underrated weapon that can be used to catch fish or kill.

15-foot Rope: You can use it at night to tie yourself to the boat so you don't have to worry about falling into the sea when you turn over.

"Choose 3 out of 9?"

Roger was thinking seriously.

I chose the "teenager" option for my profile.

Then the things sailors use are probably useless.

The girl's attribute is +3 Luck.

She knew almost nothing about the sea.

So, how do you complete the game?

It will probably depend on luck.

It wasn't just luck—the prerequisite for luck to be triggered is to live long enough, so water and food are the most important things, which is why Roger chose 5 portions of food without hesitation.

If you eat sparingly, it can last for 10 days.

That's enough for the girl's luck to come into play.

Regarding the choice of water.

12-liter Water Tank is a better choice.

After all, even if they drink all the water, they might be able to collect other fresh water.

As for something as mysterious as Freshwater Stone, even if Roger wanted to rely on luck to pass the game, he ultimately put it as the last option outside of the choices.

Roger hesitated for a long time between the Repellent Potion, the cross, and the rope.

The Repellent Potion is also a survival tool. After all, judging from the description, there are monsters in this ocean. With the Repellent Potion, it is enough to deal with most ordinary monsters.

Given the girl's luck, she shouldn't encounter a top-tier monster right away, so the Repellent Potion is something Roger really wants.

In comparison, the function of the cross is much more mysterious.

If you're lucky, you'll receive the protection of a benevolent deity.

Is it possible to complete the game in one life?

Roger was highly skeptical of this.

After all, it's just a game.

Moreover, its creator was a god with an eccentric way of thinking.

Who knows if the gods can guide players to victory in Pandora's game...

Roger thought this was unlikely.

But this thing just happens to fit the characteristics of a young girl.

So he hesitated for a moment.

As for the final rope.

This was Roger's choice based on his own adventure experiences.

After all, rope is always a useful thing—

Especially in outdoor life.

Whether it's used to bind others or to bind oneself.

They all have extremely strong practical value.

Character creation interface.

Roger was stuck for a while.

He was torn between the cross and the Repellent Potion.

In the end, all one can do is sigh.

I chose to have it all!

And as a price to pay.

Roger erased the five rations that had been selected at the beginning.

"Anyway, if you're just trying to survive, you can live on water alone, so food isn't really a necessity..."

Roger consoled himself with this thought.

He then confirmed his decision.

The scene before my eyes suddenly changed.

The pitch-black grid map completely filled his field of vision.

In the upper left corner of the map, there is a text box that is extremely similar to the data in the Hidden Hero system.

The text box displays the game content.

"In September 930, you went to sea with your father and encountered a shipwreck, but you survived by grabbing onto a small boat."

But the nightmare did not end there.

On the vast ocean.

You long to survive.

You long to see your loved ones again.

You know your father's chances of survival are slim, so you begin praying to the gods, hoping to find the legendary Moonlight Island...

On September 17th, a cloudy day, you drifted at sea, finding nothing, and you consumed a liter of water...

On September 18th, it was cloudy. You drifted at sea, finding nothing, and you consumed a liter of water...

On September 19th, it was cloudy turning overcast. You were adrift at sea when you encountered a group of sharks.

You've used up one dose of Repellent Potion; you're very hungry.

You tried to catch fish with your hat, but you failed; at night, you were too hungry to sleep.

You finally drifted off to sleep at dawn, and almost fell into the sea!...

On September 20th, a storm struck, and your ship sank. Having lost your vessel, you soon drowned at sea...

Location of death: 2 nautical miles from Moonlight Island...

Game over, you've died. Do you want to load your save file?

That's it?

Roger paused for a moment.

This game offers absolutely no room for skillful gameplay!

After you make your selection, everything proceeds automatically.

The direction the ships move in each day is also random.

Water and food consumption is automatically deducted.

The item "Repellent Potion" is consumed depending on the trigger conditions.

As for the cross that Roger himself ordered.

He had no idea that this thing had ever worked!

"I see, it's just a roll game..."

Roger snapped out of his daze.

Instead, I chose to load the save file.

The interface suddenly returned to the character creation step.

However, the other three roles have already been locked.

Roger can still only choose the girl in this file.

Click on the girl.

The game continues.

The background story ends fast forward.

It remains a choice of 3 out of 9.

Considering that loading save files in this game incurs almost no cost.

Therefore, passing the level should be a very simple matter.

Roger only needed to use exhaustive search to find a way out.

Unless Pandora is so ruthless as to leave only one character a path to complete the game.

Otherwise, Roger's chances of winning are 100%!

"Let's take them one by one. If the crosses are useless, throw them away and use them for food rations..."

Very soon.

The girl's second exile at sea has begun.

This time, perhaps because of the food supplies, or perhaps because of luck, the girl survived for a full 15 days! It's just a pity.

Before running out of ammunition and food.

She still couldn't wait for the rescue ship, nor did she find the legendary Moonlight Island.

It's only on the death settlement page.

Roger was shocked to discover that the location where he died this time was a staggering 60 nautical miles from Moonlight Island! This demonstrates the immense randomness of the game.

This is absolutely outrageous! "Is this the gaming skill of the gods in this world?? I'm in love..."

Roger shook his head inwardly and thought to himself.

But he did not lose patience.

This is a game that can be completed by lifting the object.

For him, it was practically free.

Because patience is Roger's greatest strength!

that's all.

He began to continuously load the save file and adjust the girl's settings.

And patiently wait for the moment of passing the level.

Time ticked by, second by second...

But not long after.

Roger discovered a problem—

I have already matched all the options in the 9-out-of-3 selection.

But it is precisely among these 84 combinations.

I haven't been able to complete the game even once!

The two most recent deaths—one was on the beach of Moonlight Island;

On another occasion, he couldn't hold on when he was first discovered by a rescue ship and died despite all efforts to save him!

Both times I came incredibly close to completing the game.

But ultimately none of them succeeded.

This discovery gave Roger a bit of a headache.

Could it be that choosing the "girl" option was wrong?...

"Perhaps I have a stereotype about Pandora's gender, and I chose a young girl because she is one of the few female gods..."

Such a thought flashed through Roger's mind.

But he did not get discouraged.

He soon realized that due to the game's high degree of randomness, even if he chose the right combination to win, he might not be able to win because of the randomness!

"Generally speaking, if the combination is correct, then even if you're unlucky, you'll at least get closer to your destination..."

With this mindset.

Roger repeatedly recalled every scenario he had tried before.

Ultimately, he listed out the options that would take him further.

Then continue reading the archive.

Try repeatedly.

This job is quite boring and tedious.

But Roger himself thoroughly enjoyed it.

Whenever he sees the information in the text box in the upper left corner, it flashes through his mind.

You can easily imagine a whole drama unfolding in your mind.

It can be considered a form of self-entertainment in a certain sense.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days have passed.

Roger is still deeply mired in the quagmire of the girl's file.

His eyes were already slightly bloodshot.

His brows furrowed without him even realizing it.

"Let's try again..."

Roger pursed his lips.

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have begun your 243rd,281st Shipwreck Simulator game journey..."

On the text box.

"In September 930, you went to sea with your father..."

On September 17th, a cloudy day, you drifted at sea, finding nothing, and you consumed a liter of water...

On September 20th, a sunny day, your prayers were answered—a Benevolent God bestowed upon you a piece of cheese and a gust of wind. The cheese will keep you from going hungry for the next week.

And that gust of wind will blow your small boat wherever you want to go.

On September 22, during a storm, at dawn, your little boat capsized in the storm.

You can't swim.

Zhang frantically thrashed about in the water.

You will soon lose consciousness.

In a daze, you feel a force pushing you.

You want to get up and see everything around you clearly.

But you can't do it.

You have already passed out.

September 23, sunny, you awaken under the warm sunshine.

You discover that you are not dead.

Instead, it was washed ashore by the waves.

The sand here is as soft as cotton.

You look around in amazement at everything.

You want to stand up from the beach.

But due to your weakness, you can only crawl very slowly on the beach.

Just then.

A very intelligent deer jumped out of the seaside jungle.

It brought you two fragrant melons.

You ate the cantaloupe and regained your strength.

The deer disappeared.

September 24th, sunny. You've finished preparing and are beginning your exploration of the island's interior...

You found a coconut tree.

You have found a palm tree.

You found a pheasant.

You have found Kapok Tree.

You have discovered a freshwater lake.

You have arrived at the center of the island.

They discovered a gleaming stone with a Crescent Moon carved on it.

There is an abandoned campsite nearby.

You found some information at the camp.

Through the interpretation of the data.

You realize you've arrived at the legendary Moonlight Island.

According to the information...

Every moonlit night.

This Moonlight Stone will then emit a mesmerizing glow and unleash a power powerful enough to transport people through time.

You decide to seize this opportunity.

So that through the magic of the Moonlight Stone, they could find their father and mother...

As these lines of text flashed by.

Before we knew it.

Roger was shocked to find that his consciousness had been attached to the body of a ragged young girl.

The black grid map has long since disappeared.

What was presented to him.

It's a lifelike island world!

"That's interesting!"

"Does this mean the game has only just begun?"

With that in mind.

Roger calmly stood guard beside the Moonlight Stone.

It was already dusk.

The time when the moon is high in the sky is not far off.

A few hours later.

The soft moonlight shone on the Moonlight Stone.

The pure white radiance was indeed dreamlike and ethereal.

Roger stared intently at the Moonlight Stone.

Very soon.

Changes began to appear around the Moonlight Stone.

The outline of something appeared in Roger's field of vision.

When Roger finally saw what that thing looked like...

He was more than just shocked! "This is what I've wanted most?"

Roger stared in disbelief at the computer that had appeared next to the Moonlight Stone.

He remained speechless for a long time.

He strode quickly to the computer.

Then I sat down in the chair.

Press the power button lightly.

Familiar music came from inside the computer case.

Then you get a familiar interface.

"It really is my computer! Was it unearthed from my memories...?"

Roger excitedly clicked around on the computer.

certainly.

He consciously skipped certain folders named "Work" or "Study".

I clicked on things randomly for a while without really thinking.

Roger then opened his browser.

Unfortunately, there was no new content in the browser:

Most of what Roger saw was blurry.

"I knew it was extracted from my memory..."

Roger smiled.

I didn't pay much attention to it.

Even if it's an illusion.

It feels nice to be able to touch old things again.

He clicked through the bookmarks on the webpages one by one with his mouse.

One of them happened to be a forum for the game called Quinan Sword.

Driven by curiosity.

Roger excitedly clicked on the webpage.

The next second.

Five posts from the same ID appeared in Roger's view—

What to do if you can't beat Vilan? Urgent!

"Give me another 24 hours, and I'll definitely flip the car back. Anyone want to bet?"

"Add another 12 hours, okay? If I lose, I'll admit defeat."

"I'm almost done with the game, but it's really getting tough. Are you guys finding it that easy?"

Forget it, I give up. Anyone know a cheat engine, guys?
