Farming game: Survival for all [StarCraft]

046
A bottle of milk, an egg, and a bottle of nutrient solution. You can only get one or two of these by completing a basic task. It sounds like little, but it is enough to rekindle people's hope of life.

As the account was opened to foreigners, more and more foreigners logged into the manor. Just like the Chinese alliance members who logged into the manor for the first time, when they saw the sun, the animals and plants, and the normal world of the manor, they all felt as if they were in a dream, and then they were moved as if they had been redeemed.

Moreover, according to players' observation, except for a small number of foreign players who logged into the manor in the other world for the first time, the vast majority of them were the kind of people who strictly abided by the four rules of the other world. They worked meticulously, were not lazy or cunning at all, and would not slack off or walk around randomly.

If they were players from the Blue Alliance, they would take the players' words as gospel, and the looks they gave to the players from the Chinese Alliance were filled with the purest goodwill and enthusiasm.

This made the Huameng players who were originally reluctant to open their accounts to foreigners online feel embarrassed.

At the same time, I couldn't help but think of myself two years ago. At that time, they had no games. Even though the country had tried very hard, the nutrient solution supplied every month was just enough to keep the people of Huameng from starving to death. It was nothing like today. As long as you are willing to work hard, you don't have to worry about starving to death whether you play games or not.

However, many of these foreign players regard the game as their last straw. They have nothing to eat and rely on earning food in the game to survive for a while.

This made many Chinese Alliance members feel uncomfortable. They couldn't see it through the Internet before. No matter how much they heard about the bad situation in foreign countries, few people could really empathize with them. It's not that the Chinese Alliance members are hard-hearted, nor that they have never experienced similar things, but that most people in the world are like this. Without seeing it with their own eyes and hearing it with their own ears, it is difficult to be truly touched.

It’s all because of the damn apocalypse. I wish it would end soon.

Or, the game should open more accounts... No, no, accounts alone are not enough. The territory is so large, and it is very difficult to feed the entire world's population.

Unless, we can expand the scope of the manor a little bit, or trade with other people in the other world?
Since this manor is a real different world, it can't be an isolated island like this, right?

Ordinary players have this doubt, and Xia Ji and his team have been thinking about this for a long time.

Earlier, the primary manor was surrounded by thick fog. Not to mention other intelligent species, even a ferocious beast could not be found in the manor. Later, after the primary manor was opened to the public after the fog dissipated, the Frogd Forest was revealed.

At that time, Xia Ji and the others wondered whether there were other races outside the Forest of Fugud?

Moreover, according to the local intelligent races, there is a human race in their legends, but Xia Ji and his companions did not find a single human being even after using various drones and detectors.

Moreover, the drone cannot even fly beyond the open range of the Summer Festival game panel map. No matter whether it flies towards the three-sided mountains or towards the ocean, the drone's flight range is limited to wherever the Summer Festival can be pulled on the map, as if it is separated by an invisible barrier and cannot fly out.

Xia Ji also asked the system about this matter, and the system replied that the level was not high enough and did not meet the opening requirements.

The system does not specify which level to reach.

Could it be that the manor is too weak now, and the system is not open to it for protection purposes? Or is it really only related to the game level?

Xia Ji and the others had various speculations, but as long as the system did not open the channel to the outside world, they could do nothing about it.

Therefore, before that, don’t dream of trading with other people in the secondary world. You still have to rely on yourself.

The influx of foreign players has brought a new wave of labor to the manor, and has also created conditions for face-to-face communication between the Chinese Alliance and people from other countries, unlike before when they had to communicate across the Internet.

With more communication, both sides have a more positive understanding and are no longer as alienated as before.

Of course, not everything is harmonious. With more and more open accounts and more foreigners coming online, there will always be a small group of weirdos, such as those who violate the four regulations of the other world, those who refuse to work properly, those who criticize the Chinese Alliance players, and even those who try to make fun of the local natives.

Foreign players like this probably either have a problem with their brains or are not hungry yet, so just go offline and hand over the account to someone who needs it more.

Huameng opens accounts to foreigners not to recruit this kind of people, nor to satisfy their curiosity to "broaden their horizons". Once they come, they have to work hard, regardless of whether they are foreigners or not.

If you don't want to do it, just leave. It's that simple.

This is true for both foreigners and Chinese alliance members. The most basic purpose of letting them log in to the manor is to get food, not to let them play games or do other things.

If the rules of the other world are strictly enforced a few times, no player will want to commit suicide in the manor.

In Fujie, with the establishment of the town primary school and the recruitment of teachers, a new batch of school-age children is about to go to school.

However, each race has a different definition of children. In some races, babies can follow adults to find food when they are one or two years old, while in other races, babies are still supported by adults when they are seven or eight years old. In addition, most races in the past had backward civilizations, were not good at planting, and were not good at processing food so that it could be preserved for a long time. They had no other warm clothes except animal skins or coarse linen, and there were many kinds of ferocious beasts living nearby. Tribal conflicts occurred frequently, and the mortality rate of many tribes was very high, and the average life expectancy was greatly reduced.

At this time, children in the tribe generally mature earlier.

Although they are now under the protection of the players and their living environment is better than before, their average life expectancy may be extended, but it is unrealistic to apply the players' school entry age rigidly, starting the first grade at the age of six and providing compulsory education for sixteen years.

After considering various aspects, it was decided to set the admission age for flower elves at 3 years old, the admission age for goblins at 4 years old, and the admission age for tauren, dwarves, and tree elves at 6 years old.

Among them, because flower elves are a rare group, they have not found the second batch of flower elves until the summer festival. In addition, the flower elves are timid, so they still live in the primary manor and are taught separately. Players will set up a school specifically for them. They will start kindergarten at the age of 3. In addition to Chinese and mathematics, the fixed subjects include music, flower planting, etc. All classes are small to ensure the best teachers.

Wait until there are more flower elves, or when they are taught by races outside, and then slowly let the flower elves come into contact with the outside world. Otherwise, players are afraid that the flower elves are so weak that they may be captured by some wild race, which would put them in danger.

The other races do not enjoy such treatment as the flower elves. The teaching is still in large classes. They first learn basic Chinese, mathematics, health knowledge, ideological education, etc., and then gradually add different secondary subjects according to the talents of each race. For example, the dwarves who love blacksmithing can learn forging knowledge, and the tree elves who are good at drawing bows can learn archery...

In short, the players' plan is to "eat from the same pot" in the first three years to lay the foundation, and then make adjustments based on the actual situation.

The plan is good, but when it comes to implementation, players will find themselves stuck at the first step: how to convince parents to send their children to school?
Before the end of the world, human education had already been highly developed. Not to mention prenatal education or early childhood education, at the very worst, all children started from kindergarten. Parents were afraid that their children would fall behind at the starting line, so they sent them to school as soon as they turned 6. There was no need for teachers to persuade them to go to school.

Even after the end of the world, the country did not suspend education.

In the players' view, receiving education at the appropriate age is a normal thing, but they never expected that one day they would have to rack their brains to persuade parents to send their children to school.

Well, this is also a novel experience.

In the end, the village cadres cooperated with the teachers in holding meetings for several hours and visited the homes of the children, and only then were the children of school age sent to school.

When the teacher went to pick up the children for school on the first day, some parents were in tears, as if the teacher was there to snatch their children away and would never come back.

It also made the teacher quite embarrassed.

In order to ensure the safety of students going to and from school, the steel plant also specially built a four-wheeled electric school bus with the name of a certain town's primary school painted on the body of the bus. It looked quite "majestic and majestic". When parents saw the teacher putting the children into the bus, some of them were so scared that they rushed forward to grab the bus, as if it was a man-eating monster, and refused to let the children get on.

Even though similar tractors have appeared in summer and autumn harvests before, some villagers are still afraid of them.

In addition, there were some bold and curious villagers who wanted to get on the school bus when they saw it, especially the dwarves. Because of the incident with the big-armed dwarf chief driving a car, they were extremely curious about this "big monster" and wished they could get on it too, becoming the second dwarf who could drive the big monster and be envied and admired.

In short, a month before school starts, a lot of things can happen just with pick-up and drop-off.

It is not that easy for children to go to school, there are always various small accidents.

However, probably because most of the teachers were transferred from literacy teachers, and had experienced all kinds of exhaustion and frustration when teaching literacy to villagers, they were able to persist and not change careers, and were successfully transferred to primary school teachers. They are all confident and patient, and can hold on no matter how noisy these little guys are.

However, those teachers who have not received literacy education and have directly learned to be kindergarten teachers will suffer a little.

But I explained the situation when I applied for the position. If I really can't do it, I can quit and continue to wait in line for the lottery, or interview for other competing positions.

There is one position for each person. Do it if you have the ability.

However, these teachers had gone through a lot of hardships to get the job. Now the competition for game accounts out there is so fierce. No matter how difficult it is, they have to grit their teeth and endure it and find a way to solve it.

And if you can really teach such a child, it will be a great achievement.

Sunrise and sunset, day after day passed, and slowly, the villagers got used to the school bus picking up the children from Monday to Friday, and also got used to the children coming home every day to do their homework, and then -

"Dad/Mom, how do you pronounce this pinyin?"

"What is 1+1 equal to?"

"I don't know how to write. Can you help me write it? I have to hand it in to the teacher tomorrow. If I can't write it well, the teacher won't give me the red flower."

Illiterate/semi-literate parents: …

This is making things difficult for me!

Parents with good tempers scratch their heads and think hard, while parents with bad tempers slap their children in the face (and then are taught a lesson by village cadres for domestic violence, punished by hard work, and announced to the whole village through loudspeakers that they do not support domestic violence!). Parents who are annoyed may choose to run away and leave their children to the man/woman, or would rather go back to sleep in a dormitory and live a single life.

What a mess.

Village cadres have to take care of these things all day long and have no time to rest. Some local village cadres even roll up their sleeves and quit their jobs.

However, when the exam was held a month later, the top three children each took home certificates and rewards, and these parents became happy.

The certificate is the most traditional one in human society, and the reward, in addition to paper, pen and notebook, is canned snacks that are only sold at the player's supply and marketing station, which is a delicacy that the villagers always crave.

My kid unexpectedly brought back something like this from class? You are awesome, kid!
The happy parents would pat their children's heads as a reward, and then directly share the food. The thoughtful parents, in addition to being happy, would not forget to take their children's certificates and rewards to visit other people, or directly go to the crowded square to brag about it.

These races do not have rich language systems, and most of them do not care about being shy or euphemistic. They are very straightforward when it comes to boasting, like #My child got the first place in the exam, and is the best among all the kids. You are not as good as me to give birth to such a great kid! Look, this is the proof of honor! " Such words come out of their mouths without any shame.

When other villagers heard this, they would not laugh at him but would only envy him.

The more barbaric a race is, the more it admires the strong, so the chief is respected, the warriors are admired, and whose children are stronger is also a point of comparison.

Now, looking at the certificate in the parent's hand, saying that the child's name is written on it, it is the certificate for the child's first place in the exam, it is stamped by the teacher himself, and it is not a cheap delicacy but a reward given by the teacher to his child for first place, everyone is envious.

When they found out that only their kid and the second and third place winners had it, and that it was not as good as the first place winner, they were even more envious.

After figuring out how the reward came about, the villagers looked at the test paper and wondered the same thing as human parents: "Why can other people's kids get such high scores, but you can't? Don't they all go to the same school?"

The kids scratched their heads and said, “I don’t know either.”

There are also silly and cute ones with big innocent eyes: Maybe they are just like you, my dad/mom, also a warrior, and they also go hunting, but they just don’t hunt as much as other uncles/aunts, and they don’t get as much food.

The broad-minded parents thought it made sense, while the proud parents felt that their shortcomings were exposed and immediately swore that they were not inferior to so-and-so, but that it was just because of something that happened that day. If they were serious, they would definitely be the best...

Then the teacher convened the first parent-teacher meeting, only inviting parents whose children were in school to attend. Those parents were approved to take leave that day and sit on the "big monster" that they were not allowed to sit on normally. The villagers who were watching vaguely realized what the identity of a parent really meant.

Ah, I suddenly want to have a baby. What’s the matter with letting the baby go to school?

Seeing the parents getting on the bus and driving away, the villagers who stayed behind all looked envious.

The parents in the car were also very curious about this first car ride. They touched the soft cotton cushion under their buttocks, leaned against the window, looked at the backflow outside the window, and looked at the driver in front. There were men and women of the same or different races in the car. For the first time, they felt the "special treatment" of being a parent. As for whether you will get carsick when you take a car for the first time?

That won’t happen. Don’t underestimate the physical fitness of these villagers. Each of them is in great shape.

To be sure, they were nervous, scared, and excited. After all, it was their first time riding in a car. It was something that was both familiar and unfamiliar to them. They were used to watching their own children getting on and off the car every day, but when it was their turn, it was their first time as a grown woman getting on a sedan chair.

But as I drove forward so steadily, with familiar people around me, the nervousness slowly disappeared and only happiness remained.

They also started chatting about it, wondering what this parent-teacher meeting was, as they had never heard of it.

Of course, they don't really want to get to the bottom of it, because for them, many of the things that players come up with are things they don't know, haven't heard of, and can't imagine. The reason they're trying to find out is that it's just for chatting, it's to have a topic.

When the parents happily chatted all the way to the school, got off the bus and walked into the campus, they inexplicably felt that this place was particularly dignified and sacred. They stopped laughing and lined up like little children, and followed the teacher into the classroom.

The students' classrooms are the most ordinary ones, with no technological content in them. There is a blackboard in front and back, a podium on the front blackboard, and tables and chairs below.

According to the original plan, the teachers should sit in the students' seats. However, due to the previous racial confusion, there are many students with different fathers or mothers, and some whose fathers or mothers are unknown. The teachers can only try to arrange the seats according to which side the students are mainly following, or let them sit wherever they want. It doesn't matter much.

The purpose of the parent-teacher meeting is, on the one hand, to share the students' learning situation with parents, on the other hand, to let parents cooperate with teachers, and at the same time, to insert a praise session.

The parents who attended the first parent-teacher conference were confused and had all taken literacy classes. They knew the "authority" of the teacher, so they did not dare to make trouble for fear of the consequences. Even the boldest ones would still shrink back.

Then when it came to the praise session, parents of their children were praised for their excellent academic performance, being the most serious in class, being clean, etc. The parents of the praised children puffed out their chests with pride. When the teacher asked them to come on stage to share their educational experiences, even the most honest ones would bravely brag a few words with shaking legs. If they were already very fond of showing off, it would be even more outrageous. They would not only brag about their children, but also about themselves and their ancestors. It was even more outrageous than the people who ran for president in later generations.

Finally, the teacher had to interrupt the villager's story about his ancestors bravely fighting wild beasts, and told him with a firm but polite smile to take a break and save it for next time he returned to the village, as there wouldn't be enough time for the parent-teacher meeting!

Fortunately, although there were some minor incidents, the first parent-teacher meeting in the other world was successfully concluded. After these parents went back, they were often asked by villagers about the parent-teacher meeting. Regardless of whether their children were praised or not, there were curious villagers who came up to ask questions. If the children were praised, it would be even more amazing as they would be highly regarded by the villagers.

Feeling the difference in the villagers' attitude, at this moment, the parents vaguely realized that being a student's parent is still a very good identity, and the child's school and performance will determine whether they can gain face.

If a child is praised by the teacher, even the most ordinary parents will suddenly be respected by other villagers.

Study! Make sure your child studies hard, listens well, and is praised by the teacher as a good child!

And there is also a very strange phenomenon. Since the end of the parent-teacher meeting, the villagers have been calling those parents directly "dad" and "mom". If there are many children, they call the name of the child who was praised by the teacher. If none of the children were praised by the teacher, they call the name of the eldest child.

The parents who were called thought that this was a nice title and made them feel happy just hearing it.

The children also found this name novel and felt a sense of satisfaction from being recognized and noticed.

It's just that people with many brothers and sisters are more likely to quarrel or fight over the name that can be used in front of their parents.

Later, when they realized that the one who was praised more by the teacher would be ranked before his parents, the children's attitude towards learning improved by leaps and bounds.

The purpose of the parent-teacher meeting has basically been achieved.

After the parents' meeting came to an end, in the main world, the results of the annual rainy day syndrome screening and testing of the Chinese Alliance came out.

Looking at the average patient level data which is lower than in previous years, the Huameng is excited and happy.

"In the seventh year of Star of Hope, the average level of patients with Rainy Day Syndrome has finally decreased instead of increased! Especially the number of critically ill patients, which has been greatly reduced!"

"How can it not be reduced? All the critically ill patients are admitted to the closed treatment hospital and are enjoying the best treatment. The first batch of extremely critically ill patients were discharged a while ago, and I heard that the second and third batches will soon meet the discharge standards!"

"I feel like all of this is brought about by the game estate. Since our country has been able to connect to the game estate, our lives have been getting better and better."

"That's true, but we also have to thank the country for its efforts, otherwise we wouldn't have such a good life now."

"And Miss Aurora! She is beautiful and kind, and is willing to let us share the profits of the manor! I heard that Miss Aurora likes our Huameng culture very much, and now she is learning from our teacher every day. It's a pity that my level is not good, otherwise I will definitely work hard to apply to be Miss's tutor! Woo woo, I envy the players who can meet Miss every day and lick her face up close!"

"I really have to thank Miss Aurora for her generosity. In the promotional video, the young lady fled to the castle because she was hunted for her identity as a witch. She has the power to summon players. I am very curious about who has the heart to attack the young lady? Could it be that the background of the young lady's life is similar to the ancient times in the West, when witches were persecuted? And how did the young lady escape to the castle? I happened to participate in the battle to repel the attack of the wild minotaurs in the manor, and combined with the experiences of other players in the forum, I feel that the Forest of Fergud is very dangerous, and it doesn't seem like a weak and powerless young lady can pass through it. Could it be that the young lady is actually an NPC? After all, although "Cross-Border Manor" is a real different world, it is also a game. If the young lady is an intelligent NPC, it makes sense."

"I don't understand what the above person wants to say. Why do you have to give the young lady the title of NPC? Do you think that if she is an NPC, we as players should be superior to NPCs? I advise the above person not to eat with the bowl in hand and curse after putting it down. The owner of Aurora Manor is our benefactor of the Huameng. It is really shameful to speculate about the benefactor behind his back!"

"That's not what I meant. Why did you think so wrongly? I'm just curious about the young lady's background. Am I the only one who is like that? Besides, have you noticed that, except for the young lady and us players, none of the local intelligent races in the entire Fergude Forest are human? Isn't that very strange? Let's discuss it rationally. If it causes misunderstanding, I'll delete it. I personally respect the owner of the manor very much."

"It's better to delete the post above. I always feel that your expression is quite subtle. It's better not to start a fight. If you are really interested, go to the game forum to discuss it. But to be honest, the owner of Aurora Manor is indeed our Huameng's benefactor. You should be careful with your words and don't say anything that may cause misunderstanding."

Many times, the topic would go off topic. They were clearly discussing the rainy day syndrome, but then they turned to Aurora's identity and background.

In fact, she is not the only one who is curious about Aurora's identity and background. When Huameng released the first game trailer, some people discussed this, but it was just a small group of people. At that time, everyone's biggest concern was still the "true" game.

That is, after slowly accepting the existence of the game manor and interacting with so many races in the manor, I gradually began to wonder what historical background this manor was in, and whether it could be compared to some history that existed in their modern society?
And why is there no other human being in the entire manor except Aurora?
This is actually a very strange thing. It's no wonder that players would be curious and think of Aurora as an NPC.

However, perhaps because the player who brought up this topic was talked about by someone else, he also felt that his words might not be appropriate, so he deleted the comment and did not post anything in the game forum.

However, as the topic of Rainy Day Syndrome was popular at the time, many players saw this statement, and some curious netizens opened a separate thread in the forum to discuss Aurora's identity, the historical background of the manor, and why other human tribes could not be seen in the manor.

And out of respect for Aurora, in order to avoid provoking a fight, the post title also specifically stated that it was just a rational discussion, and that inappropriate remarks would be rejected and deleted if seen.

Then it became a hot post all of a sudden, and players were happily building posts on it. Not only were their ideas out of the blue, but there were also a bunch of people who loved face looks, and they posted screenshots of Lola's smile in the promotional video.

In the end, it became a hot topic, but nothing was discussed.

Not to mention their curiosity, Xia Ji and the people in the national game team were also extremely curious, because at the beginning, the system said that it was completely legal for Aurora to inherit the castle manor, and it was also mysterious, asking Xia Ji to explore his true identity in the secondary world by himself.

But up to now, they haven't found out anything. They have explored the entire map of the manor, but haven't gotten any clues.

Could it be that it is underground in some beast's lair that the detection robots have not yet penetrated, or in the hands/living underground of other tribesmen who have not yet been incorporated into the manor?
Or perhaps, some ancient legends of the native tribes may mention the origin of this castle?

It is possible!
Xia Ji and the game team felt that they could take action in this direction.

Therefore, the game team started with the existing tribes and collected various stories and legends from them.

This could also be considered an activity, allowing the villagers to participate and record their past tribal legends, which could also be compiled into a book. It might not be useful in finding out Aurora's identity, but it could help pass down some of the tribe's ancient legends and prevent them from being lost in word of mouth.

Unexpectedly, this activity was quite new to the villagers. After hearing that it was going to be made into a book, one after another racked their brains to contribute various legends they knew.

Now that they know what books are, when they look at the children’s textbooks, they think they are amazing.

They also thought that the stories of their tribe could be recorded in books so that the children could learn from them!
Not surprisingly, it seems that the ancient legends of all races cannot escape the existence of "God". Just like the ancient legends of the human society in the main world, the East and the West have their own mythological systems. Their tribes also have their own mythological systems, which are quite rich. People of the same race can tell different stories.

Moreover, the teams also discovered that humans still existed in their legends and that humans were capable of divine arts and magic.

This makes players think, could it really be a so-called Western fantasy background? But so far, there is no trace of magic in the Forest of Fergud, and even the priests in the big tribe do not have that kind of mysterious and unspeakable power.

Perhaps, this is just a legend.

Compared to this, the teams are more concerned about the fact that since every race’s legends include humans, or beings similar to human descriptions, why are there no humans in the Forest of Fugud?

The villagers had their own explanations for this problem, such as #humans were killed by their gods#, #humans were abandoned by the forest#, #humans are devils and devils cannot come in here# and other mysterious answers. After listening to them, the teams felt like they were talking nonsense.

In the end, the ones who provided the key clues turned out to be the green-skinned goblins who had attacked the manor in the first place, were lazy during the labor reform, and were collectively driven away by the players after the wall construction project was completed.

After the green-skinned goblins were driven away by the players, they had a very difficult life for a while. Later, when they saw the players outside, they would always come up to them and ask the players to take them back to the manor to continue raising them.

But after being rejected so many times, the green-skinned goblins realized that it was impossible to be raised by players anymore, so they gradually returned to their original nests.

However, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. After staying in the clean house built by players for them and eating the meals prepared by players for them, even lazy goblins would find it unbearable to return to their dirty, smelly and filthy old nest.

They tried to be diligent, but they couldn't be diligent, so they dug another hole.

Later, when the player began to trade with other tribes and agreed to merge with some tribes, these green-skinned goblins saw it and came over again. Some of them left after knowing the conditions for merging with the players as they felt they couldn't do it, but some were willing to work hard and were not as lazy and cunning as before.

So, when the tribes were finally merged, these green-skinned goblins finally agreed to be incorporated.

I don't know if the green-skinned goblins were born without language skills, so they didn't pass down any stories, or what, but when asked to tell a story, they would pull out a few hairs from their heads. Seeing that other tribes in the same village had told the same story, their little brains worked for a while, and in the end they directly brought two skulls to the players.

A real skull, the kind that can scare children to tears!
This looks quite like a human skull!

When the players took the skull for testing, it turned out to be true!

Moreover, according to experts' testing, there is a high possibility that the bones are thousands of years old!

Damn, the humans in this world couldn’t have become extinct thousands of years ago, right?
The team who knew about it were all shocked.

He immediately asked the green-skinned goblin who had taken out the human skull to take the player to where he found the skull.

Although the green-skinned goblin didn't know why the players wanted to go, he still led the way conscientiously.

Then, the team discovered that this was a large gathering place of the Tauren tribe.

The green-skinned goblins, they drilled in through holes in the ground at a certain distance from the gathering place!
If you want to know who is the best at digging holes, the green-skinned goblin in the alien manor is the best!
Very good, it seems that the team’s guess is correct. Aurora’s identity and background may really be hidden in these tribes.

Perhaps, this Tauren tribe wouldn't mind making a deal with the players and moving a little?

**
Just when the players were preparing to trade with the Tauren tribe, three large multi-masted triangular sailing ships appeared on the vast ocean of the secondary world. Among them, two smaller sailing ships were attached to both sides of the largest sailing ship, forming a triangular guard shape.

On the twenty-meter-long deck of a large sailing ship, a blond, green-eyed man wearing a black hat, a wide-sleeved shirt and tight shorts glanced at the map drawn on parchment in his hand, then looked at the endless sea, his face tarnished by wind and sun showing a serious expression.

A man dressed as a subordinate came up holding a round object, put one hand on his chest, bowed and saluted the man, "Sir, according to the gyroscopic direction finding, our position is correct."

"Okay." The man tucked the parchment under his armpit and said, "Notify all ships to speed up in this direction. The legendary treasure is just ahead!"

The subordinate didn't know what he was thinking of, and his expression suddenly became excited, "Yes, sir!"
