Chapter 200: Chapter 175: Fury

“I also think the difficulty is too high.”

Lin Miaomiao nodded in agreement.

Li Cunxu asked, “How many people succeeded in the challenge in total?”

Lin Miaomiao held up one finger.

“Besides me, was there anyone else who succeeded? Who was that person?”

Li Cunxu was very curious about how that person survived the riot of the Gold-level pet beasts without going underground,

Lin Miaomiao shook her head.

“No one else, you’re the only one who succeeded in this challenge.”

Li Cunxu fell silent.

He suddenly understood why the show’s producers were so generous in giving away an island.

It turned out they never intended for the contestants to succeed.

Li Cunxu’s guess was correct.

The director didn’t want to give away an island at all; offering an island for a successful challenge was just a gimmick to attract viewers.

However, one hundred days of island survival for an island, spoken without proof, who would believe it?

After all, the island is so valuable, and contestants only needed to survive a hundred days to get one; this was more magical than winning a lottery.

Not many believed, so to prove the claim was true, before the challenge started, the director signed a fair contract in front of the public.

It guaranteed that if a contestant succeeded in the challenge, they would indeed be given an island.

But secretly, he had raised the difficulty to a very high level, thinking no one would succeed, only for the incomparably unreasonable Li Cunxu to break through.

Fortunately, the resources on Bengma Island were extremely scarce compared to other islands, and losing one Bengma Island was bearable.

The production team was packing up their filming equipment, ready to leave.

Li Cunxu was also getting ready to leave.

It was better if he didn’t stay on Bengma Island.

Now that his Blood Lotus Eye had been exposed, the Blood God Sect saw him as a thorn in their side, eager to eliminate him, staying on Bengma Island was likely to draw Blood God Sect followers across great distances to kill him.

So, it was better for him to leave first.

As for taking care of Bengma Island?

Li Cunxu had long entrusted his grandfather with it.

Li Shiji would send pet beasts to guard the island.

The Blue Lightning Dragon underground had not been poisoned to death yet, the dragon pet’s poison resistance was too abnormal; Little White Spider had applied three hundred and thirty-one kinds of poisons on it, yet it hadn’t died. Little White Spider calculated that it would take thirty years to poison the injured, sleeping Blue Lightning Dragon with these poisons.

However, whether the Blue Lightning Dragon would die was no longer important.

What was important was the treasure allowing the Blue Lightning Dragon to enter and exit the sealed mist, which Li Cunxu had acquired.

The treasure was a ring, worn on the dragon’s claw of the Blue Lightning Dragon. The Intelligent Slime noticed the ancient ring on the claw and thought it extraordinary, so it joined forces with a group of Intelligent Slimes, expending great effort to remove the ring.

The owner of the ring changed, and Li Cunxu could see its panel.

[Treasure: Sailing Ring]

[Level]: Tier One

[Effect]: Records your sea voyage routes, precise positioning, location is guaranteed not to be wrong, not influenced by other external factors.

The Sailing Ring’s treasure function was simple, just maritime navigation.

But what made it better than sea navigation was that it wasn’t disturbed by other things like sealed mist.

“No wonder the Blue Lightning Dragon could ignore the sealed mist, it was because of a treasure.”

Li Cunxu happily put on the Sailing Ring, staring at it, he remembered his other treasure.

The Gold and Jade Gourd.

The Gold and Jade Gourd was left at Shendu University.

The Gold and Jade Gourd required a constant intake of gold and jade to refine the Gold Jade Liquid.

And participating in the island survival would delay a hundred days, preventing him from overseeing the refining of the Gold Jade Liquid.

To avoid delaying the Gold Jade Liquid’s refining, he left the Gold and Jade Gourd at Shendu University, using credits to hire a mechanical pet, handing over the cores of the White Jade Secret Realm and Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm to it, so it could enter and exit both secret realms, collecting the gold and jade excavated by the Slimes into the Gold and Jade Gourd.

The hired mechanical pet had signed a secrecy contract, afterward, it would delete these memories of the time period.

In this way, the secret of the Gold and Jade Gourd wouldn’t be exposed.

The secret of the Gold and Jade Gourd was quite significant.

The profits from the Gold Jade Liquid were enough to tempt greedy merchants.

To avoid testing human nature, this secret must be kept as hidden as possible.

Li Cunxu thought of the Gold and Jade Gourd grown from the Yellow-seed Gourd, and a vague memory was suddenly triggered.

He remembered the whereabouts of the Green-seed Gourd which had been lost for three hundred years among the Red, Orange, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple seed gourds.

The Green-seed Gourd should be near Celestial Sea Island, inside a shipwreck on the seabed at this time.

“Looks like I need to visit Celestial Sea Island soon.”

After all, who knows when Celestial Sea Island would appear in reality.

The traces of Celestial Sea Island were hidden by the sealed mist of the Great Mist Celestial Whale.

And that Great Mist Celestial Whale was about to die of old age.

When the Great Mist Celestial Whale dies, without the sealed mist, Celestial Sea Island would be exposed to everyone.

According to the gameplay plot from the previous life, the Great Mist Celestial Whale died of old age two years later.

But could Li Cunxu ensure the Great Mist Celestial Whale would die in two years? No.

After all, the butterfly effect existed. A butterfly flapping its wings gently could cause a massive tornado across the ocean. What if some small effect from Li Cunxu brought about the early demise of the Great Mist Celestial Whale?

“To prevent any surprises, it’s better to find the Green-seed Gourd early.”

Li Cunxu returned to Tongdu, first using the teleportation array to get back to Shendu University and took all the refined Gold Jade Liquid, then prepared to return to Tongdu to ask his grandfather for bodyguards to protect him to Celestial Sea Island.

After taking a few steps, Li Cunxu turned back to take the Gold and Jade Gourd along.

The Gold and Jade Gourd was the Yellow-seed Gourd, and he needed to find the Green-seed Gourd.

Both the Yellow-seed Gourd and the Green-seed Gourd came from the Emperor’s Artifact: Seven-seed Gourd and shared a common origin, wearing the Yellow-seed Gourd might be useful in finding the Green-seed Gourd.

In the study.

The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive, a few teacups were missing from the tray, and there was more powder and fingerprints on the tea set.

Li Cunxu felt like he came at the wrong time.

He wasn’t sure what had upset his grandfather Li Shiji, who looked calm on the surface, but he seemed like a volcano on the verge of erupting, and once it erupted, it would be a cataclysmic event.

Li Cunxu didn’t notice the one strand of gray hair that had appeared in Li Shiji’s black hair.

“Did something happen to you?” Li Cunxu inquired.

“Nothing, do you have something you need from me?” Li Shiji replied.

Seeing Li Shiji change the topic, Li Cunxu didn’t pursue it further.

A soon-to-explode Li Shiji was too terrifying, Li Cunxu felt as if he was standing on a volcano, ready to meet his end at any moment.

“Well… um, I discovered an unknown island in the ocean, and I want to explore it a bit.” Li Cunxu said.

Li Shiji said, “It’s good to gain more experience.”

Li Cunxu continued, “But the island is very dangerous, possibly with King-level threats.”

Li Shiji understood Li Cunxu’s intent and handed him a silver small turtle.

“Overlord-level Void Turtle, it’ll ensure your safety for this journey.”

Void Turtle, a space-element pet beast, excels at taking people to escape.

Upon catching the Void Turtle, Li Cunxu’s sense of security instantly increased.

Despite it only being Overlord-level, even if surrounded by twenty King-level pet beasts, Li Cunxu wouldn’t fear, as the Void Turtle could use Spatial Teleportation to let him escape.
