Chapter 126: Chapter 117: Steal Your Boat Right Now!

"Again!"

Capsized, drowned.

"Again!"

Still capsized, drowned.

Wang Hao scratched his ears in silence. Since his life was infinite, he was just giving it a try, not expecting to fail so quickly—it took only a few minutes before he perished.

"It seems that even in an open sandbox mode, it’s impossible for me to escape beyond the game’s boundaries."

"The outside world probably isn’t fully developed yet."

"I probably can’t leave this village; leaving means inexplicably capsizing and drowning."

So... think of another way?

The next second, he reappeared in "Ganlu Temple."

The feeling of having infinite lives was truly satisfying—able to freely experiment without any regrets, even if things went awry.

After a few minutes, a familiar scenario began once again.

A team of adventurers, traveling on a fast boat about 15 meters long, slowly approached from the depths of the white fog.

The boat, surprisingly large, sported a propeller engine at the back, but the adventurers were paddling manually, likely to reduce noise.

From afar, the subdued talk of the adventurers could be heard.

"The fog has cleared! The fog has cleared! Haha, we’ve found the place."

"There’s a temple on the riverbank with the words ’Ganlu Temple’... just like the records say!"

These people, repeating the same dialogue from the first reincarnation, began unpacking their luggage from the speedboat and prepared to disembark.

The Caucasian male leader, "Gregory," started instructing the guide Pan Hao—a slightly lean Asian man who had accidentally killed Wang Hao during the first reincarnation.

"Pan Hao, carefully check the temple’s interior environment."

"Prepare a fire; we’ll make do and spend the night here."

"Understood."

In this new cycle, Wang Hao did not hide within the temple.

He chose to crawl deep into the white fog, quietly observing the group.

Pan Hao cautiously inspected the temple’s interior, found no danger, waved his hand to signal something, and everyone entered.

The eight-member team started making a fire and cooking food.

They were apparently very well-prepared, carrying a portable stove with coal in it.

Water and food were also brought in from the speedboat, packaged in metal canned rations which could be enjoyed with just a bit of preparation.

"Is the story finally different now..." Wang Hao lay in the fog, watching a flickering light not too far away.

He noticed his hearing ability was extraordinary, able to hear sounds from afar—perhaps due to the needs of the storyline...

The crowd was excited yet suppressing their voices as they whispered something.

As a superpower user, he often had mysterious premonitions—this eerie place hid indescribable horrors, immense pressure surging from all directions. Merely staying for a few minutes induced waves of palpitations.

Gregory added a coal block into the fire, saying, "According to astrological calculations, the overlapping time points of parallel universes are just two or three days."

"So, within these two or three days, we must find Youthful Eternity Spring and return to our world as fast as possible."

"What if we miss the timing?" someone asked.

Gregory spread his hands: "Then we’ll be trapped here, waiting for the next spacetime intersection. It could be a dozen years or even decades. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen."

"Don’t worry, guys. Brace yourselves, find the Fountain of Youth, and we can enjoy a lifetime of glory and innumerable accolades! It is a product of legend, envied by countless nobles."

"If we obtain it, this life could be much more comfortable than you imagine—perhaps a thousand years, or even ten thousand."

Wang Hao rolled his eyes, secretly gleeful: "Thinking of living a thousand or ten thousand years, huh? Grandpa is going to steal your boat now and let you enjoy yourselves here!"

He felt aggrieved from being killed mistakenly in the first reincarnation and thought of settling the score right away.

As for future cooperation and reincarnations, those could wait!

With infinite lives, I will not let myself be wronged; vengeance must be exacted immediately.

Besides, such a big boat surely shouldn’t capsize in the river, right?

In the pitch-dark environment, he tiptoed, stealthily making his way there.

Perhaps these adventurers were so focused on the deeper parts of the village they didn’t expect someone in the dense fog at dead of night to have designs on their speedboat!

"Gregory, there might be oddities in this place, right? The legendary ’Fountain of Youth’ is the blood of deities, not easily obtained. The last time someone acquired it was two thousand years ago, and things might have changed since then."

"Hey, Sofia, have some food first and don’t think too much."

"Even if we encounter local natives, it’s no issue; we are well-prepared and could possibly hold our own even if we face oddities."

As the team’s leader Gregory took out a delicate rose, pinning it on his chest strap.

This was a special plant from the "Rose Cross Society": when malicious forces approach, this mysterious rose would sense them first, and the flower would instantly wilt as a warning.

Suddenly!

The group cocked their ears, hearing a "cluttering" noise!

It sounded very close, and the noise was tremendously loud.

Fear,

instantly appeared on the faces of every adventurer in the team.

Some held their breath, some trembled, and others reached for tools...

They looked at each other, muscles tensed.

Was a strange entity attacking?!

Gregory clenched his fists, ready to defend.

He glanced at the rose on his chest, which showed no signs of wilting.

He waved his hand again, signalling a team member to walk out of the temple to check the source of the sound.

This sound was strange...

Did it belong to the industrial era?

"What’s going on?"

Suddenly, a startled man shouted, completely losing his composure, "It’s our boat!"

"Somebody is stealing our boat!"

"Our boat has been stolen!"

"Fuck, damn thief."

The group of people felt a chilling sensation, as if they had seen a ghost, and they broke into a frantic chase!

Even though it was extremely dangerous outside, these eight people were still chasing madly, trying to catch the speeding boat.

Once they boarded, the boat was stolen, what the hell!

The boat contained many survival materials and was also their reliance to return to the real world.

Without the boat, were they supposed to swim back?

"Hello everyone, Five Stars good citizen caught stealing a boat! Not arrested!"

Wang Hao heard the cursing from the riverbank, and his mood became even more gleeful.

To reduce noise, these people had rowed over personally, and they carelessly left the keys on the motor, which he promptly took.

He was steering the wheel, and since it was his first time driving, plus only one light in the pitch dark, he was not very accustomed to it and hit the riverbank several times with a "bang, bang, bang."

It wasn’t until someone almost caught up with him that he managed to enter the river center at the last moment and sailed swiftly.

"Shoot, shoot!"

Bang bang bang!

Bang bang!

Gunshots came from the other side of the river, and in the pitch-dark environment, compounded by the heavy fog, the bullets did not hit any vital points.

"With such a big boat, surely it wouldn’t be overturned by a wave."

"Now I’m going to find my silly brother! I must get out of this map and see if the game system will crash!"

Battling the game system was endless fun.

But just as the thought surfaced, a mysterious green hand grabbed his arm out of nowhere!

"Fuck... I knew this damn system would take the opportunity to mess things up," Wang Hao had mentally prepared for such weird occurrences.

Under the state of infinite lives, he reacted like a shot of adrenaline had been injected into him, quick as lightning.

With the greatest speed, he picked up a rusty kitchen knife and fiercely slashed down.

But with a Physique of 60, he lacked the strength, and the attack seemed not even to break the skin; then, he was violently pulled into the riverbed.

"The boat is over there, over there!"

"There are oddities! Lots of them!"

Using the flashlight beam coming from the riverbank, Wang Hao saw beneath the riverbed, a dense mass of greenish figures.

Sensing the presence of humans, these figures were continually moving upstream.

"Snap!"

Since the driver had fallen into the river, the speedboat was uncontrolled and crashed onto shore.

"There are creatures in the river!"

"Save me... save me! I’ve been caught!"

The scene before his eyes darkened, and as Wang Hao was pulled under the water, hearing the screams from the riverbank, he made a rough assessment of this exploration team’s strength.

Simply described in one word: mediocre.

The creatures in the riverbed weren’t very strong, at least they didn’t appear during the day.

It was a wonder why these guys had the courage to explore this haunted place.

No wonder humanity is the most incomprehensible species, with no sense of their own limits.

[You have died.]

[Reason: Killed by unknown creatures in the river.]

Emm... Not bad, it tested the boundaries of the game system.

To avoid various bugs, even the most liberal game wouldn’t let the main character run off the map.

As for the exploration team...

You screwed me over once, and I paid you back in kind, we’re even now.

Finally, I can properly start playing.

Yes, Wang Hao was a person who held grudges, "I don’t hold grudges, I settle them on the spot."

...

As he respawns, the familiar scene and the familiar shouts come from outside the temple again.

He could recite these lines by heart.

"The fog has cleared! The fog has cleared! Haha, we’ve found the place."

"There’s a temple on the riverbank, with ’Ganlu Temple’ written on it... just like in the records!"

Wang Hao stood right at the temple entrance, cupping his hands around his mouth: "Hey—hey—the people over there!"

This small boat pierced through the heavy mist and entered Taoyuan Village.

Standing on the boat, the guide "Pan Hao" saw children in the distance calling them and immediately prepared for defense, feeling for the heirloom dagger on his belt.

With a trace of caution, he did not throw the dagger.
