MC Creative Mode: Wholesale Perpetual Motion Machine

Chapter 13 A Stagnant World

(Day 4)
Behind the city gate is an extremely vast space. At first glance, it looks like a vast starry sky dotted with countless stars.

But if you look closely, you will find that those glowing stars are arranged in a neat and uniform pattern, which is not a natural starry sky.

There were ships, one ship after another filling the sky.

During the heyday of the ancient fairyland, astronomical numbers of metal fleets were waiting at any time, waiting for the fairyland barrier gate to open, so that they could march into other realms and bring devastating blows to the enemy.

There are also vast caravans carrying countless supplies, ready to travel to other worlds at any time.

These ships, hovering everywhere and occupying the boundless sky, look a bit strange. Overall, although they are hovering in the air, they do not look like the magnificent steel starships in science fiction novels, full of mathematical beauty.

Just like what is described in the stereotypical fantasy novels about cultivating immortals, it is exactly like the template of an ancient sailboat in the real world, except that the material has been replaced with metal and special spiritual wood.

Although this is in a vacuum, for some reason there are still masts and sails on the ship, but there are also some patterns like formations engraved on them, and it is unknown what their use is.

Gazing at the starry sky through a telescope, Fang Zheng sighed. "It seems that even though this is a world of immortal cultivation, not all cultivators are so exaggerated. Not everyone can travel faster than the speed of light, and they still need transportation."

"Logically speaking, as a stranger outside the city gate, I would be attacked as an intruder. But inside the city gate, I shouldn't be easily identified as an enemy, right?"

After all, if we refer to the ancient frontier cities on Earth, even if there is a censorship mechanism in the city, it will not directly launch an attack, right?

After hesitating for a while, Fang Zheng tried to switch from spectator mode back to creative mode.

After waiting for a while with a guilty conscience, Fang Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see any of the golden-armored puppets coming to attack him.

"It's good that we weren't attacked right away."

"I need to see if I can find someone intelligent enough on these ships to talk to, or if I can find an office or something, or if I can get a temporary ID or something like that."

Looking at the blocks and various items in his inventory, especially the golden apple and various potions, Fang Zheng felt more at ease. "With unlimited resources in Creative Mode, I should be considered a wealthy man, no matter how you look at it."

"Although I only have one Suzaku and White Tiger Law Barrel in my current world, items like the Golden Apple that can replenish health should be able to fetch some Spirit Stones or other currency."

"As long as I can sell it, I can buy things. As long as I can buy it, I can probably buy anything, no matter how expensive it is. After all, there is no limit to the supply."

The space behind the city gate was extremely vast. The sky seemed like the abyss of the universe, with no end in sight. There were terrifying numbers of metal warships of various shapes and shapes, densely packed to the point of no end, filling the entire field of vision.

Each ship, even the smallest, was almost as huge as a mountain, and the distances between them were quite far.

After taking out his elytra and fireworks in creative mode and flying for a while, Fang Zheng finally boarded the nearest ship.

After arriving on the ship and searching for a while, Fang Zheng became a little excited when he saw a tall figure in black clothes and with white hair draped over his shoulders sitting cross-legged in a corner of the deck of the ship which was as big as a mountain.

"It's so hard to see someone!"

He landed, walked forward as carefully and politely as possible, and called out softly, "Hello, hello."

"Excuse me, can you understand what I am saying?"

The white-haired figure didn't move.

Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment and raised his voice again. "Um, um, may I ask?"

But the white-haired figure remained motionless, and Fang Zheng suddenly felt a little scared.

He looked at his square hand and wondered, "Could it be that even though I can hear myself talking, it's just me talking to myself in my mind?"

"In the MC world I've traveled to, this cube-like body doesn't have the ability to speak at all?" Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment before stepping forward, thinking to himself. "Regardless of whether I can speak or not, whether I'm trying to form a font with cubes or doing something else, as long as I'm willing to communicate, there are ways to do it."

Arriving in front of the figure, Fang Zheng looked up. It was a man dressed in black, with a divine glow on his face, skin as white as jade, and a pair of pure golden eyes. He looked inhuman, with not even a trace of pores visible. He had a resolute face, fluttering white hair, and was nearly four meters tall.

It looks very much like the appearance of a cultivator in a novel about cultivating immortals.

However, there was no expression on his face, as cold as a piece of iron, and his eyes did not move at all. He just sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands on his knees, staring into the distance.

"Um, may I ask?" Fang Zheng waved his square hand in front of him, trying to use body movements to attract his attention and communicate with him.

But it was no use. Fang Zheng could notice that the white-haired figure with a determined face showed no signs of moving at all.

Even when a scary-looking cube-like figure like himself appeared before him, his eyes didn't even blink.

Fang Zheng suddenly felt a little scared, and he tried to attract his attention again.

He took out a grass block from his backpack and placed it on the ground in front of the figure. He then took out a firework and lit it, but the figure remained motionless. "Is he dead?"

Fang Zheng suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He left the figure and began to look for other people on this mountain-sized ship.

Success and failure.

Through the spectator mode, Fang Zheng penetrated the cabin and found a large number of figures.

The mountain-like ship has an extremely large space and various luxuriously decorated cabins.

In different cabins, there are creatures with different faces, genders, and even horns and scaly tails. There are also simply humanoid life forms standing or sitting, or doing some kind of work in the cabin.

But the only thing they have in common is that they are all stagnant.

It was as if their time was frozen, and no one showed even the slightest sign of movement.

Each person seems to be frozen in time at a certain stage, becoming a lifelike statue.

Fang Zheng felt uneasy and increasingly irritated, and some bad guesses popped up in his mind.

He left the ship and continued to fly using fireworks and elytra. It took him most of the day to finally reach another ship that was closer to this one.

But the result was the same. There were people on the boat, as well as some unknown cargo. Fang Zheng even saw two cultivators dressed in luxurious clothes, who seemed to be drinking tea and chatting. However, they were all motionless statues, and the tea in their cups was like solidified crystal.

On the deck, Fang Zheng felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the vast fleet of ships that filled the sky, seemingly unimaginably large. He also saw some ships that occasionally lit up and began to set sail, heading towards the distant area behind the city gate.

"Are all these boats filled with these frozen dead?"

"What's going on!"

Why? Outside the city gate, he had just come out of the hell portal, and in a few seconds, Suzaku and Baihu attacked him. After he finally got out of the seal and ran to the city wall, some golden-armored puppets came to attack him.

And now that I've finally entered the city, all I see are motionless statues?

boom!
A dull sound like thunder suddenly rang out.

This sudden sound came from below Fang Zheng, that is, this ship.
