Ji Chen went to the tool room.
[Tool room]
[Level: Tier 1 (400 units of wood, 400 units of stone, 400 units of fiber, 400 units of thick iron needed to upgrade to intermediate)]
[Area: 8×6]
[Maximum capacity: 6]
1. Able to make tools. 2. Increases tool-making efficiency by 5%.
Although this tool room was not big, it was well-equipped. It could make all kinds of tools, including but not limited to axes, saws, hoes, fishing nets, pottery, and so on.
Looking at all these tools, Ji Chen suddenly remembered that he had a fishing rod in his backpack. With a quick thought, the fishing rod appeared in his hand.
This fishing rod looked like it had been used for some time. The handle at the end was a little worn, but it also made it very comfortable to hold.
It gave him a feeling of having used it for many years.
Ji Chen stared at the fishing rod. The information on the fishing rod’s interface popped up before his eyes.
[Worn Fishing Rod]
[Level: 1-star treasure]
[Effect: Increases the chance of catching precious fish from the water.]
[A good fishing rod passed down from my ancestors. It seems to have gathered the resentment of many fishermen who have obtained nothing …]
When he saw the last column, he subconsciously smiled.
Being on a deserted island, there were plenty of opportunities for fishing.
He wondered what kind of wonderful chemical reaction would occur between his Lord’s talent and the Sea’s Favor.
Ji Chen put away the fishing rod and looked around.
The villagers had already started gathering wood, and the Murlocs had been summoned to help with finding food.
Originally, there wasn’t much food in the territory, and with the additional twenty-one Murlocs to feed, food resource was likely to be depleted in less than two days.
Therefore, finding food was urgent. But before setting off to search, he wanted to see the current status of the others.
Ji Chen clicked on the menu bar, and the option for the chat channel was also highlighted.
He clicked on the channel.
The chat channel was divided into two sub-channels: the World Main channel and the Kingdom/Region chat channel, as well as a forum channel.
The forum channel is similar to a forum where players can exchange strategies.
However, the game had just started, so there was not much valuable strategy and information on it.
Ji Chen directly opened the World Main channel.
A large number of chat messages immediately appeared, densely packed, making him dizzy.
He took a closer look.
At this time, the people speaking in the channel could be divided into several types.
Those who had yet to accept reality were still panicking.
Those who had already accepted reality and were planning to make grand plans.
Those who were venting their emotions because they had drawn trash or powerful military recruitment camps.
There were also people who saw that their troops gain enough experience to level and were busy boasting.
And so on.
Seeing so many players talking on the world channel, Ji Chen felt a little relieved. With so many people entering the game world together, he didn’t feel like he was alone. It was that kind of feeling: “I’m not okay if I’m the only unlucky one, but if we’re all unlucky together, it’s okay!”
Ji Chen also noticed the age distribution of the players. They were basically in the prime of their youth. This was probably because in “Lord of Glory,” the game was only allowed to be played by young players who could withstand the mental pressure of a holographic game, under the reason that only young people had the necessary nerves to handle it.
Therefore, the players who appeared here were basically in their prime. There were no children or old people.
After taking a casual look.
Ji Chen closed the World Channel and opened the Kingdom Channel. However, he was soon confused.
No one spoke in the kingdom channel. It was empty.
What was going on? Was it stuck, or did the message not appear?
The world channel was so lively, so why was there no one in the Kingdom channel?
He looked puzzled.
Could it be that there is no kingdom present in this place?
Did it belong to some ungoverned island?
If there was no one in the Kingdom channel, then there should be someone in the regional channel, right?
With that in mind, he opened the regional channel.
But he was puzzled again.
No one was speaking on the regional channel, and it was as empty as his wallet.
Ji Chen’s eyebrows furrowed.
His face suddenly changed.
He thought of a possibility.
Damn it, could it be that there is no other player in this region except him?
This guess was like a bolt from the blue, leaving him shocked.
It should be noted that there is no trading system, trading market, or exchange in ‘Lord of Glory’!
Players need to trade goods face to face if they want to trade with each other.
What’s even scarier is that his territory is located on an island in the boundless ocean.
No one is speaking on the regional channel, which means that in the early stages, he cannot trade with other players and must develop on his own.
This starting point… is almost unreachable.
After a moment of doubting his life, Ji Chen rubbed his chin and began to think, with a hint of brightness in his eyes.
Being alone in a region… doesn’t seem like a purely bad thing?
In this world without laws, where players rely solely on their flexible moral standards, at least in the early stages, there is no need to worry about the threat of other players.
Moreover, there were no players nearby, so he could easily occupy the resources of the entire area.
This way, the development of the territory would be several times faster.
The premise was that the resources would not be too scarce.
Soon, Ji Chen noticed the benefits and adjusted his mood. He became more active in his thinking.
Although there was no need to worry about threats from other players in the early stages, they would have to leave the island eventually.
Currently, the area around the territory was all ocean.
In the future, if they wanted to leave the island, they would need transportation such as ships to find the mainland or other islands.
Thinking of this, Ji Chen clenched his fist.
He remembered that the villagers had previously mentioned that they had encountered a shipwreck and were forced to stay here because their ship had run aground on a distant reef.
The ship was stranded in a nearby rocky area.
Now, he could go check the situation of that ship.
If the ship could still be repaired, then there was no need to worry too much about being stuck here. The initiative was in his hands!
Without hesitation, Ji Chen, who was eager to check on the ship’s condition, immediately set off with the River Murlocs.
He walked back to the beach along the same path he had taken before. As soon as he arrived, the scorching sun beat down on him and the warm sand clung to his boots.
The salty sea breeze blew in once again, and in the distance, the sea and sky merged into one. Seagulls flocked together, fish leaped out of the water, and the sun glistened on the surface of the sea.
The view was refreshing.
From this perspective, a person could monopolize this wonderful sea view at all times, free of charge. After clearing the trees between the territory and the beach, wouldn’t the houses in the territory have a natural sea view? Not only that, the entire island was his own!
After identifying the direction, he led the Murlocs towards the ship.
” Caw, caw, caw!! ”
“Caw, caw, caw! Croak → ”
As soon as they came into contact with the seawater, the River Murlocs became excited and kept shouting.
The Murlocs ‘chaotic cries were automatically translated into Ji Chen’s ears.
“Ah! It’s the sea!”
“The sea! It’s all water!”
In the end, Ji Chen couldn’t take their noise anymore and gave them a smack on their heads, silencing them all.
He was a man with twenty-one fish following him.
He walked along the soft white sand and stepped on the ebb and flow of the sea.
The ship was stranded not far away, and it took them about ten minutes to get close.
