Chapter 7: Escape from the Cage
Gao Fei could only blame himself for being unlucky.
He had wanted to do something fancy, but he messed up and ran into a gun.
At this time, he received another system prompt.
Beginner's tutorial: Exploring unknown areas
Spending one star disk energy can dispel a small piece of war fog and detect creatures in the area.
"MMP! Why didn't you tell me earlier that there is such a function? It's a complete rip-off!"
Gao Fei was so angry that he almost smashed the star disk.
Fortunately, he remembered to save the game before leaving the prison door, so he didn't have to kill the orc jailer again.
After reloading the game again, the barbarian prince possessed by Gao Fei returned to the cell where he had just strangled the jailer. While the other jailers were still eating and couldn't come to inspect for the time being, he tied the cable to the iron fence and let it hang down from the window, reaching the sea below the cliff.
Gao Fei was about to climb out of the window, but he accidentally saw the wooden barrel. He picked up the barrel, climbed up the window with one hand, and got out with difficulty, sliding down along the rope.
Basaka has the "sports" skill and is proficient in swimming, but swimming across the endless sea with flesh and blood is almost tantamount to suicide.
After entering the water, he cut a section of the rope with a dagger and tied the barrel tightly to his back with a rope. In this way, even if he exhausted his physical strength during the long swim, he could rely on the buoyancy of the barrel to float on the sea and not drown easily.
As the sky gradually brightened, the wind and waves on the sea became more and more fierce. Gao Fei placed his consciousness on the young barbarian prince, carrying the barrel and drifting with the current. He felt exhausted after swimming for less than half an hour.
At first, he wanted to switch to the God's perspective, disconnect his sensory connection with Basaka, and get rid of the panic and fatigue of struggling to survive in the angry sea.
However, he thought again that he chose to join Tiangong not just to play games, but games were just a means to train and strengthen his own abilities.
Basaka's swimming skills are very good, but Gao Fei himself had to make up for the swimming test in college physical education class to barely meet the standard. If he needs to swim long distances in the future, he can't turn into a Basaka to swim for him.
Instead of spending money to train in the swimming pool, it is better to take this opportunity to swim in the sea and improve his swimming skills.
With this thought, Gao Fei gave up the idea of switching the operation mode and continued to fight the waves in the vast ocean with a first-person perspective.
After persisting for another hour, Gao Fei couldn't hold on any longer and had to exit the first-person perspective and take a break.
Changing to a wider angle to observe Basaka, Gao Fei was depressed to find that after leaving the possessed state, the barbarian prince seemed more relaxed, like a big fish swimming in the waves.
It seems that when he possesses, even if he has the same attributes and skill data as Basaka on paper, he cannot perfectly display the opponent's true level.
When he removes the possession, Basaka is like getting rid of an invisible burden and truly showing his excellent swimming skills.
Gao Fei sighed in shame, thinking that since Yaoguang said that he could exercise in the game world, he would need to make more use of this function in the future to improve his sports level, so as not to always drag down Basaka, who worships him as a god.
In the third-person operation mode, Gao Fei does not need to keep an eye on Basaka all the time, so he hangs up first and goes to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles.
After filling his stomach randomly and taking a rest, Gao Fei felt that his physical strength had recovered, so he returned to the game world and switched to the first-person perspective again, imitating Basaka's swimming skills, and swung his arms and fought hard in the vast blue waves.
The time flow rate of the game world is consistent with that of the real world. Gao Fei quits when he is tired of swimming, and still cannot see the end of the sea until the night falls.
After the fifth time of hanging up, he was so tired that he leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and fell asleep unconsciously.
After an unknown period of time, Gao Fei was awakened by the system prompt in his ear. He sat up and looked at the clock on the astrolabe. It was already past 4 o'clock in the morning. He had slept for five hours.
In the game world, it was almost noon. After drifting in the sea for eight hours, Basaka Olaf was finally pushed onto the beach by the waves and drifted to a deserted island.
After landing, Basaka checked his belongings. Except for the mace lost in the sea, the rest of his things were there. He breathed a sigh of relief, untied the wooden barrel from his body, and staggered towards the beach.
Gao Fei raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw this scene.
Not to mention a geek like him, even a professional swimmer from Blue Star, after drifting in the rough sea for so long, probably wouldn't have the strength to move after landing, and Basaka was only at level 2 exhaustion, worthy of being a strong animal with 18 points of physical attributes!
The Star Plate sent a system prompt at the right time to explain to him the negative state brought by "exhaustion".
Characters in the game may suffer from "exhaustion" if they endure hunger, thirst, physical overdraft, or long-term exposure to harsh environments such as severe cold and heat.
The exhaustion state is divided into 6 increasing levels. If the situation of a creature in a low-level exhaustion state is not improved, it may fall into a higher level of exhaustion state, and all the negative effects of low-level exhaustion will be superimposed.
Level 1 exhaustion: attribute and skill checks have disadvantages.
Level 2 exhaustion: on the basis of level 1 exhaustion, the additional movement speed is halved.
Level 3 exhaustion: on the basis of level 2 exhaustion, additional attack check and immunity check disadvantages.
Level 4 Exhaustion: Based on level 3 exhaustion, the upper limit of additional health points is halved.
Level 5 Exhaustion: Based on Level 4 Exhaustion, the movement speed is reduced to 0.
Level 6 Exhaustion: Death.
After completing a one-hour short rest, the exhaustion level can be reduced by 1 level.
After 8 hours of full sleep and sufficient nutrition, the exhaustion level will be zero.
…
Basaka is currently in a state of Level 2 exhaustion, and it is necessary to take a rest.
According to the instructions of the novice tutorial, Gao Fei manipulated Basaka to find a reef on the beach and sat in a shady place for a short rest.
For at least one hour, only low-intensity activities such as eating, reading, meditation and wound care are carried out, which is a "short rest".
During the short rest, a number of "life dice" can be consumed to restore physical strength, magic or the number of times special abilities are used.
The number of life dice possessed by extraordinary professionals is the same as their professional level. Basaka is a level 1 berserker, so of course he only has one life dice.
When spending this life dice during a short rest to restore physical strength, the life value will be restored to "level + constitution correction" points.
If used to restore mana, it will replenish "level + spellcasting attribute modifier" points of mana.
Used to restore special abilities with a limited number of uses, it can only restore the attribute modifier corresponding to the ability.
For example, the Berserker's professional ability "Rage" depends on the physical fitness modifier, while the number of uses of the Bard's "Singing" skill per day depends on the Charm modifier.
Basaka has no spellcasting ability and has no way to restore mana. "Rage" has 6 times left, which is enough. Gao Fei used the only life dice to restore physical strength.
There are crabs under the reef, which can be used to fill the stomach. Fresh water can be purchased from the system store. One liter of fresh water only costs one copper coin. Gao Fei can still afford this little money.
Basaka drank water and ate. After resting for an hour, his health value increased from 6 points to 11 points, and the exhaustion state also dropped back to level 1.
The time in the game world is already noon, and the quiet beach reflects the summer sun, flashing brilliant golden light.
In the distance are rolling hills with dense vegetation and lush greenery. On such an island far away from the hustle and bustle, there must be no shortage of birds and beasts, even ferocious monsters.
Gao Fei, from the perspective of an online writer, thinks that the game will not design a meaningless scene. On this seemingly desolate island, there should be some clues to trigger the subsequent plot.
Thinking of this, he switched back to the first-person perspective, stood up and walked towards the lush valley opposite the beach, embarking on a journey to survive on a deserted island.
