Chapter 29: Searching for the First Mate

"It's a pity that there is only one bedroom, otherwise it would be very suitable for two people to live together."

Gao Fei regretted it as soon as he said it. With only one bedroom, wouldn't it be more suitable for living together?

Fortunately, Jiang Feng didn't hear the ambiguity in his unintentional words. He walked around the living room and looked into the bedroom with the open door. He turned back to Gao Fei and said, "I didn't expect it to be very clean. Keep it up!”

"From what you said, do you have to come here frequently for hygiene checks?" Gao Fei pretended to be very stressed, "It seems I have to pack up and hide the dirty clothes, smelly socks and so on."

"There is a washing machine and dryer in the kitchen. It doesn't take much trouble to wash the clothes you have worn." Jiang Feng suddenly blushed and asked him with a half-smile: "I'm afraid the things you want to hide are It’s more than that, right?”

"What else can there be?"

"For example, comics that are not suitable for children, and inflatable wives and so on..."

"Don't accuse me unjustly!" Gao Fei said with a righteous look on his face, "Things inappropriate for children are all in the computer. An inflatable wife is so expensive, I can't afford it!"

"Look how pitiful you are, why don't I bear the pain and bleed some blood before your birthday and buy one for you as a birthday present?"

"There is no need to spend money!" Gao Fei waved his hand, "If you are really loyal, why not grow your hair long and dye it flaxen, buy a suit of clothes and cosplay Asuna, it will be my lifelong friendship!"

"You have a beautiful idea!" Jiang Nuxia pulled on her slippers and kicked his butt moderately with her slender feet wrapped in silk stockings. She turned around and returned to the sofa in the living room to sit down.

Gao Fei went to the kitchen refrigerator to get two cans of ice-cold Coke, opened one and handed it to her, then summoned the astrolabe and entered the game world.

In the third chapter of "The Revenge of the Prince", the adventure stage is still on the unknown desert island.

Gao Fei spent a burst of astrolabe energy to invite Jiang Feng's monks over to search for the whereabouts of Fred Lange, the first mate of the "Flying Fish".

The desert island is quite large, with dense jungles and numerous valleys and caves. It is understandably difficult to find a person who is deliberately hiding in such a complex environment.

If in the real world, Gao Fei and Jiang Feng thoroughly searched the entire island, it would take at least a month or two.

Fortunately, the game world has simplified this problem. As long as you pass three "survival (tracking) checks" in the wilderness, you can find Fred Lange's hiding place.

The difficulty (DC) of the first check is only 10, the second is 15, and the third is 20.

Gao Fei couldn't help but feel glad that he had the foresight to choose the "Survival" skill as the prologue reward. He could get a 2-point proficiency bonus when making a tracking check. In addition, Basaka had a 2-point perception correction. The first and second time The tracking checks were all passed smoothly, and the clues collected pointed to the dense forested dark valley in the north of the island.

However, when it came to the third test, the difficulty was too high. Gao Fei also ran out of dice luck and unfortunately failed to pass.

According to the rules of the game, after the test fails, you will not be able to obtain new clues to track the target through skills within that day. You must either try again tomorrow, or search in the valley by yourself to try your luck.

Gao Fei and Jiang Feng were unwilling to give up. They wandered around the dark and gloomy valley all afternoon, but their efforts were in vain. They couldn't even find anyone. They were so tired that they had to give up.

Jiang Feng followed him and worked in vain all afternoon. Gao Fei felt sorry and said to her: "We are really unlucky today. Let's retreat first and search again tomorrow. Since we are already familiar with the terrain, the difficulty of the test will be reduced by 5 points. "

"What should we do if we still can't find it tomorrow?" Jiang Feng asked pessimistically.

"If we can't find it tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the difficulty of the tracking check will be reduced to 10, and so on, until it finally drops to DC 5, and we will have to pass it."

Gao Fei's words are not deceptive. This is how the game is designed, and it can be regarded as a reflection of humanity.

Of course, there is no such good thing in reality. As the saying goes, "It's exhausting to find someone else."

The two returned to the camp and released the possessed state. Gao Fei arranged for Basaka to catch fish to satisfy his hunger and chop down trees to make boats. If he couldn't find any other way to leave the desert island, he would have no choice but to take the risk and set sail on a homemade raft.

I can't find any clues to continue the plot here, so I will first attack Jiang Feng's monk module "The Foreigner of the Vast Sea".

However, Jiang Feng soon discovered to his dismay that he would not be able to invite allies to help in the next chapter.

"Probably because the difficulty of this chapter is relatively low." Gao Fei said thoughtfully, "Since we can't pull Basa over, let's try the 'spectate mode' and see what happens next."

Compared with the "Team Mode", the "Spectator Mode" does not require the consumption of astrolabe energy, and there is no limit on the number of players. Jiang Feng sent out an invitation, and after Gao Fei confirmed it, he could watch her control the monk Somo's adventures from a third-person perspective, just like watching a live game.

The oasis where Somo lived could not find any plot clues to trigger, so he had to leave the oasis and walk through the desert.

Somo filled his sheepskin bag with clean water and carried plenty of dried hyena meat as rations. He trekked all the way north. If nothing unexpected happened, he would arrive at a post station in three days, where he could replenish water and dry food, and also You can buy a camel to travel.

Hop on a camel and continue north, reaching the free city-state of Sevinia within a week.

The foreign boy who was born in a small town in the countryside did not have a clear plan for his future, nor did he know whether he could gain a foothold in a big city. The reason why he chose Sevilla as the destination of this trip was because that city was his mother's hometown.

Su Mo had listened to his mother's stories about the city since he was a child, and he had many beautiful visions of that distant city in his heart.

When it was almost dusk, a thunderous roar suddenly came from behind the sand dunes, quickly coming from far away, and the sand under his feet also trembled.

As a bystander, Gao Fei was the first to notice this strange sign and hurriedly reminded Jiang Feng to be careful.

"It seems that something... is crawling from under the sand."

Jiang Feng stared at the bulge on the surface of the sand, and his voice trembled slightly due to nervousness.

The bulge on the sand was long and was approaching her position. At the same time, a rumbling roar came into her ears through the sand layer, deepening the strange and terrifying atmosphere.

After just a few seconds, the bulge in the sand had approached within a hundred feet. With a muffled sound of "puff", the bulge suddenly exploded, and countless yellow sands splashed up, forcing Jiang Feng's monk to raise his hands to cover his eyes and retreat to dodge.
