Speaking of which, loneliness is also a terrifying thing.
Normally, after exchanging a few words with Lao Zhong, he would Wish he could use that scoundrel's face as a shoe polisher, but now...
He actually felt warm??
Si Fu Xing He...
I seem to be a bit off.
Damn it, Big Corpse Bro, get lost!
Li Cang kicked the praying coin away decisively.
Lao Zhong on the other side looked at the suddenly grayed-out private chat interface: ??
Big Corpse Bro consumes 0.1 fate coins per day, and without any replenishment, he can still be used for three days.
Li Cang was actually a bit anxious.
The price for Lao Zhong to lock onto Li Cang's Floating Island coordinates was that his Floating Island could not move at all, and not moving meant he couldn't explore more Wild Islands.
It's clear that discounts are never truly cheap.
It's like how you only complain about the toilet being too small to fit your head or butt when you're drunk and throwing up into it.
So far, the infinite possibilities demonstrated by Wish are enough to prove that this thing is an open-ended cheat that makes people drool.
However, the usable resources on the Floating Island are truly limited; every drop of water and every grain of rice determines how many more seconds he can live.
Li Cang was reluctant to use any valuable living materials he had to exchange for fate coins, even if that thing could make the big Corpse Brother move—but then again, who would starve themselves to feed a monster Corpse Brother with whom they had just established a “close” relationship?
The recently dissipated wishing interface suddenly lit up automatically, and the items on it had clearly increased significantly.
【Island annexation complete, resources integrating】
【Island affiliation: Li Cang (Cang)】
【Island area: 19.64 * 24.96】
【Fate Servant: Corpse Brother】
【fate coin: 0.2】
【Wish】
【Communication】
Then, the ground beneath his feet shook violently. The two Floating Islands, originally touching with less than 2 meters of ground between them, had their hard earth and stone structures suddenly turn into two strangely soft pieces of taffy, twisting and changing shape at will. Yet, the ground and the entire Floating Island never produced even a single tiny crack throughout the process.
This deformation was very rapid. The two Floating Islands, connected in a gourd shape, merged into a single inverted conical island in the blink of an eye.
“Hoh~”
Li Cang let out a small sigh of admiration.
After the two islands merged into one, everything on the island roughly maintained its previous orientation: the new yard was to the north, the Hospital ward to the south, and next to it were the apple trees and wild roses.
“Hmm, wait a minute.”
Li Cang stood in front of the apple tree, looking at the large expanse of reinforced concrete from the Hospital ward and the tiled ground, and summoned a praying coin.
“Sacrifice the concrete ground, keep the rebar and intact tiles.”
【Confirm offering】
Wisps of green light mist rose from the ground, clinging to various parts of the ruins as if alive, until they completely covered them.
Then—
“Ding ding ding dang”
The concrete wall ruins and ground disappeared out of thin air, and a pile of rebar crashed to the ground, smashing the tiles to pieces.
【Sacrifice established, gained 0.7 fate coins, 21.5 KG cement】
Holy cow!
There was an unexpected bonus!
Li Cang looked at the tiles that were completely smashed due to his operational error, pouted, and said,
“Sacrifice all tiles.”
【Confirm offering】
【Sacrifice established, gained 0.003 fate coins】
Wish is a “exchange” or “conversion” with a cost and input; essentially, it's a form of consumption.
But sacrifice is very different. From the massive number of posts from survivors, it seems that sacrifice can be performed with any item, regardless of its value.
Of course, it's possible that the praying coin's definition of value is different from that of normal humans.
Li Cang strongly suspected that the true master behind Wish and sacrifice was someone who treated Earth like a plaything.
Emmm, this thing seems as obvious as lice on a bald head, doesn't it?
Getting off topic, no matter what, this area was completely cleared without any effort, and the strange uses of sacrifice have increased.
Next, Big Corpse Bro just needs to plow it a few times and plant the beans and corn.
Although he only had a few seeds, not even enough to plant a dozen square meters of land, Li Cang wouldn't despise them at all.
Just ask, and the future is promising!
The soil was still moist, and there was no extra water to irrigate the land, but the survival rate of the seeds would surely not disappoint.
The rows of land exuded the fresh, moist smell of new soil, which was very refreshing.
Li Cang leaned on his somewhat awkward small hoe, his face showing a benevolent expression like an Old Father, smiling like a simpleton.
He felt that it wouldn't be long before his Island could achieve sustainable development, and self-sufficiency was no longer a dream.
“Hmm? Why is it dark? Is it going to rain again? Xiu’er, it just rained right after I finished planting. In a movie, I’d be a protagonist who gets whatever he wants, rain or shine. What the heck?!”
Behind him and overhead, a massive Floating Island, estimated to be a kilometer in diameter, silently emerged from the rolling yellow cloud layer at a relatively slow speed for its size, heading directly towards Li Cang.
Li Cang's Floating Island was only about four hundred square meters in size; in front of this giant Floating Island, it wasn't even an ant and was on the verge of being crushed in minutes.
Bang!
The small Floating Island was like a chive leaf stuck in a tooth, stubbornly embedded in the middle section of the giant Floating Island's base.
This feeling was too bizarre, like you're driving your nine-times-used small QQ, a novice on the road, being cautious, feeling bad for yourself and your car, and also for other experienced drivers. Then you find a monster truck, a front-four-rear-eight-ton beast, charging at you and hitting you in a staged accident.
【Island displacement occurred, connection with Zhong Jianzhang (Si Fu Xing He) lost signal, navigation failed.】
“Damn it!”
The loss was as high as 6 mao.
The Island was stuck very firmly on top, being pushed along by the huge Island.
It's confirmed, definitely protagonist treatment.
Sitting at home, food falls from the sky; you’re literally planting rice in my stomach.
Li Cang steeled his heart, equipped Big Corpse Bro, and began climbing up from the base of the giant Floating Island.
Honestly, given Big Corpse Bro's physique and appearance, he should be considered a sturdy support character, an essential companion for home travel, murder, and robbery.
A Floating Island can be seen as an inverted cone. Climbing it with lower limbs suspended, relying entirely on arm strength, the difficulty is imaginable, especially for a corporate drone like Li Cang who has never touched high-end sports like rock climbing.
In less than ten meters, Li Cang felt like he was going to dehydrate.
Looking at Big Corpse Bro, under his sharp teeth and claws, the rocks were like slightly harder old tofu, leaving a claw print with every step, effortlessly.
Emmm...
After less than a second of thought, Li Cang, like an octopus, obediently settled on Big Corpse Bro's back.
It's for making a living, nothing shameful about it.
The base of this giant Floating Island was definitely over a thousand meters high. Big Corpse Bro climbed for a full half an hour, making Li Cang yawn several times along the way.
