Chapter 76: Chapter 72: ’Paradise’ Script, Cleared! (Two-in-One Chapter)_2

He sighed deeply and re-entered his neighbor’s room, conducting a thorough search. He found an ancient compass that was as exquisitely peculiar as a compass could be, with no clear indication of its origin.

The plate had two circles on it, the inner circle marked with "Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen Si Wu Wei Shen You Xu Hai", and the outer circle read "Jia Yi Bing Ding Wu Ji Geng Xin Ren Gui", with the needle pointing exactly in the direction of Wu.

"Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, huh..."

Knowing that "Wu" meant south was enough; based on that, he could figure out all the other directions.

He also found in the kitchen a bag of withered plants that resembled foxtail grass, unable to distinguish what this bag of plants really was.

In the game, he didn’t have a sense of smell, nor could he clarify whether it was edible or not.

"Could it be a plant that boosts SAN values? Plus, add some blood? Let’s try it, since there’s still some of Biaozi’s blood left."

As for the other items, they were all worn and torn household utensils—the old neighbor was truly impoverished.

"Head east, then..."

After pondering for a while, he decided to trust his neighbor’s words. Waiting at home for grandma to return wasn’t his style.

If worse came to worst, he could just start the fourth Reincarnation.

He decided to go east!

And so, on the fifth and sixth days, he and his simple-minded younger brother spent their time preparing...

First, they painstakingly collected Biaozi’s blood.

Indeed, these foxtail grass-like plants began to grow wildly upon contact with the blood of life. In just a moment, they morphed into strange plants resembling wheat, with kernels as big as corn kernels.

"Brother, is this really what we’re going to eat?" Even his younger brother was shocked; the corn cakes he usually ate were made from plants that could absorb blood!

"I don’t know either. We better not eat it unless absolutely necessary."

Wang Hao was equally astounded, carefully storing these corn kernels. Whether they would be effective or not remained unknown, but it was always good to have them saved.

He then skinned Biaozi and made two simple cloaks out of it. Wearing these cloaks, they looked impressive, like little leopards.

Whether Biaozi’s meat was edible remained unknown; however, its skin surely contained some degree of Supernatural Power...

As for the old neighbor’s blood, it had already been drained by the Blood Ginseng. In the spirit of humanity, Wang Hao and his brother dug a hole and buried the man. No matter how much evil he had done in his life, death was the ultimate equalizer; once dead, there was nothing left.

"I must be crazy, burying someone in the game... Well, at least he was a notable enemy."

Using the local firewood, they grilled over thirty pounds of Biaozi meat.

It wasn’t too laborious since pressing a button and waiting a while did the job, and they didn’t need to put too much effort into it.

After completing this range of preparations, it was the afternoon of the sixth day. They carefully checked all the items they had.

"Biaozi meat, Biaozi skin cloaks, the mysterious compass, a plant that can restore sanity, clues about the missing child, clues about the Black-clothed Guard, a small mirror, a sharp Kitchen Knife, a piece of Blood Ginseng, some fresh water, and two Immortal Beans—that’s about everything."

All together, the bag weighed over twenty pounds, nearly reaching the limit of what a ten-year-old could carry.

Despite being skinny, his younger brother possessed surprising strength and was also able to carry a load of over twenty pounds.

As they were about to leave their home, his younger brother felt both fear and an emancipating Sixth Sense.

"We won’t take the Paperman, it could be grandma’s way of spying on us. It would only be harmful to bring it along."

Wang Hao couldn’t help but laugh at himself sarcastically: "Look at how considerate I am; the game is almost over, and I’m still thinking about these matters..."

Perhaps it was because of the deep immersion in the Game.

On the morning of the seventh day, Wang Hao had no more corn cakes.

His brother still had one, so there was no need to fight over it.

Feeling low on SAN, Wang Hao ate an Immortal Bean! The Immortal Bean had the same function as a corn cake, and even better effects. A single tiny bean brought his character into a state of Satiety.

[You ate too much and feel unprecedented satisfaction!]

His game character was satisfied, and Wang Hao was very content. It was somewhat wasteful to bring an extra Immortal Bean, but it didn’t matter; it brought a perfect end to the story.

The third Reincarnation had given him an unimaginable sense of achievement! Finding a way to survive in a desperate situation, how could he not feel excited and fulfilled?

"It’s time to head out! Little brother, let’s go! While it’s early, we should travel as far as we can."

"Alright!"

He glanced back at the "home" that had brought them heart-stopping experiences, the "home" where they had stayed for not even seven days (21 days including the three Reincarnations).

It felt as if he had personally experienced this absurd life, his heart filled with countless emotions.

He turned his head again, taking a second look.

This period of time had been incredibly difficult.

Yet the worldview of this foggy world had only revealed the tip of the iceberg!

Even more mysteries were hidden in the deeper villages. Who knew when they could truly be unraveled?

"Heh heh," he chuckled twice, glanced at his pale hands, not very muscular, not particularly strong, but no longer trembling incessantly as before.

His heartbeat was steady, his breathing rhythmic.

Turning his head again, he smiled at his silly brother, "Let’s go, we’re setting off. Aren’t you asking why this time? We’re not coming back, not going to see Grandma."

"Mhm!" The silly brother shouldered his backpack, cheerfully shouting, "Off we go! We’re setting off!"

Wang Hao led the way, with his brother following behind.

With a high sanity value, the fog thinned out, and they had an excellent view.

The path was still the same old path,

The moss still the same green moss,

Shouldering the backpack,

Striding forward,

Toward the East.

At the ends of the mountains and sea,

They strode forth without looking back, not even for a moment.

The occasional breeze brought along snippets of their quiet conversation.

"Bro, are we going to die?"

"No, no, not with me here. You won’t die no matter what."

"How did we even get here?"

"I don’t know either, as long as we can escape, that’s all that matters."

"And who is Grandma?"

"I know even less about that."

"Will you always take care of me?"

"Of course, I am very strong... haha," Old Wang bragged.

The scene gradually dimmed, a sign that the game time was nearing its end.

Before the game ended, the two found an empty house to rest in.

They couldn’t take the remaining Immortal Beans with them. Wang Hao turned to his brother, who was already looking a bit anxious, and said, "Don’t worry. The world is vast, the scenery beautiful, the opportunities ample, and life is short. Right now, it’s just a short setback. Here, I’ll give you a little gift."

"If you survive, join the Black-clothed Guard. With this experience, you shouldn’t be too bad at it."

The game’s silly brother took the Immortal Bean somewhat bewilderingly.

A stroke of vibrant green, as if containing an unfathomable surge of vitality.

He absolutely adored the gift, grinning foolishly and nodding vigorously with an "Mhm."

The scene seemed to freeze at that moment, the seventh day ended.

A message popped up on the screen: "Congratulations, the main quest has been completed: Survive for seven days."

"Quest completion: 220%"

(Five Stars difficulty, "Paradise" script, cleared!)

...

...

(PS: Two in one, oh!)

(This big piece is finally over, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. It’s almost fifty to sixty thousand words in total, feels like I did fairly well!)

(Actually, this instance isn’t too long. God knows how tired I am from writing... because it had to connect to the clues from before and it’s my first time trying this type of writing.)

(The book definitely won’t flop, there are no fights, the main character doesn’t cultivate, and won’t cultivate in the future!)

(Playing games is purely for fun, not for getting stronger!)
