Chapter Summaries

Wang Yu returned to Liu Xinyue and Yu Min after more than half a month away and inspected the castle they had built. While making furniture, he received a call from Chu Feng, who asked about the agitated giant apes and the Strange Fruit in the Great Canyon.

• Chu Feng called Wang Yu to ask why the Great Canyon's giant apes were attacking anyone who approached the bottom.
• Chu Feng offered to pay Wang Yu or team up to reach the Strange Fruit, and Wang Yu said he had left the Great Canyon.

Wang Yu began building a huge nanmu bamboo boat while Chu Feng revealed the Great Canyon to the island’s players, prompting them to search for it. As Wang Yu continued working, he received a message from Su Qingxue.

• Wang Yu told Chu Feng that he had left the area where the giant apes were, and Chu Feng ended their call after concluding his warning had kept Wang Yu out of the Great Canyon.
• Wang Yu built a bamboo bed and slept in it, then rode the Wild Rat King to the beach to start constructing a boat from 250 stalks of nanmu bamboo.

• The island’s players debated Chu Feng’s motives and began planning how to find the canyon, while Wang Yu received a Prompt Message from Su Qingxue.

Wang Yu told Su Qingxue that the Great Canyon held hundreds of powerful giant apes, then arranged for her society to make Bamboo Rope and iron nails from his materials. Su Qingxue decided not to risk entering the canyon and suspected Wang Yu was building a boat, so she considered having the society build one too despite lacking materials.

• Su Qingxue asked Wang Yu about the Great Canyon, and he warned her about hundreds of giant apes, most at least D+ level.

• Su Qingxue guessed Wang Yu needed the rope and nails to build a boat and suggested that her society build one as well.
• Honghong pointed out that the society did not have the materials to build a boat.

• The four Wild Rat Kings helped push the finished bamboo boat into the sea, and Wang Yu boarded as it rode the waves without coming apart.

Wang Yu, Liu Xinyue, and Yu Min tested their bamboo boat at sea, then returned to the castle to enjoy a quiet day. Their peaceful rest ended when Wang Yu saw a dense mass of darkness covering the sky.

• Wang Yu took Liu Xinyue and Yu Min out to sea on the newly built bamboo boat, with the four Wild Rat Kings pushing and steering it.
• After testing the boat for a little over ten minutes, Wang Yu returned to shore and had the Wild Rat Kings drag it onto land.

Wang Yu and the two women were attacked by a huge flock of violent Sword Feather Storks, which forced their way into the castle. As the birds overwhelmed the defenses, Wang Yu led the women toward the Safe House beneath the castle.

• Wang Yu spotted a vast flock of strange birds descending toward the castle and hurried inside with the two women.

Wang Yu, Liu Xinyue, and Yu Min settled inside the castle while strange birds occupied the hillside, and Wang Yu traded food for a Steel Giant Cage he planned to use for defense. As the Strange Fruit ripened beyond his reach, every Player received a message announcing a reward for surviving 60 days, which they suspected was another trap.

• A prompt announced a reward for all Players who had survived 60 days, and the Players braced for a possible trap.

After a month of monstrous bird attacks, the surviving Players received an offer to claim Strange Fruit in the Great Canyon. The new rules and Game Map made the dangerous reward accessible, leaving factions to decide who would risk going.

• Su Qingxue led the Qinghong Society to shelter among boulders, where Li Tianming built a crude shelter to protect them from the monstrous birds.
• The Players received a prompt directing them to check in at the Great Canyon for Strange Fruit, and most decided the reward was too dangerous to pursue.
• Chu Feng and the surviving factions below the Great Canyon were initially excited by the opportunity, while Su Qingxue blamed herself for leading her group away from it.
• The game explained the faction, check-in, and claimant limits, then announced that Players could use the Game Map to teleport into the Great Canyon and back once.

Jia Feng survived the bird swarm with two Golden Gorillas, captured fifteen strange birds, and searched the Great Canyon for Extraordinary Fruits. He found the fruits guarded by more than four hundred gorillas and learned that he could not claim the check-in reward because he lacked two teammates.

• Jia Feng hid in a stone crevice while the Golden Gorillas recovered, then released his Big Dogs and steeds to free Picture Album slots.

• More than ten thousand players decided to teleport to the Great Canyon, where they could survive for an hour and compete for 30 Strange Fruits per survivor.
• Players debated the dangers in the Chat Channel, and Salman invited them to a location he said had no Big Strange Birds and countless Strange Fruits.

• Su Qingxue called Wang Yu and proposed that they work together to claim the benefits.
• Wang Yu explained that he would bring two ordinary people who might not survive, and he refused to risk burdening Su Qingxue with them.
• Su Qingxue decided the Qinghong Society would avoid the competition for Strange Fruits, though she expected Wang Yu to go and planned to follow.

Wang Yu realized the Great Canyon reward was tied to a battle over the Strange Fruits and had to choose between competing for the fruits or surviving the check-in trial. With three hours before teleportation became available, he reassured Liu Xinyue and Yu Min and left the castle to prepare.

• Wang Yu inferred that the Big Strange Birds and Golden Gorillas would fight over the ripening Strange Fruits, while players who claimed the check-in reward would become targets because the reward fruits came from the same trees.
• Wang Yu concluded that directly seizing the Strange Fruits would be nearly impossible and that surviving inside the Great Canyon for an hour would also be extremely dangerous.
• Wang Yu checked the Game Map and saw that teleportation was unavailable, with three hours remaining before the Great Canyon check-in.
• Liu Xinyue and Yu Min worried that they would hold Wang Yu back, but he reassured them and told them to follow his instructions.
• Wang Yu told Liu Xinyue and Yu Min to stay in the castle, then went out to take care of something.
