Chapter 89 Is Your Puppet Gu Serious?
Of course, I couldn't complete the crunch in the end.
Zhang Xinlan lay there like a salted fish for two whole hours before she finally felt the food that had been stuck in her throat and was about to overflow slide down her esophagus a little.
What followed was not relief, but a series of indescribable feelings of emptiness.
I don't know when I'll have my next hot pot meal.
At that time, Yu Wang had already counted the number of snacks and started studying the "God of Food" figurines.
The figure is shaped like a slightly larger-than-a-fist, chubby metal furnace. The furnace opening is open, and the inside is empty, but deep inside the furnace, a small cluster of orange flames is burning faintly. The flames are not intense and do not emit any heat.
Yu Wang tried having the three ducks take turns stuffing small pieces of food into the stove.
The moment the food entered, the orange flames suddenly shot up with a "whoosh," becoming much more intense. The food quickly turned into a wisp of smoke in the flames and merged into them. After the food burned out, the flames slowly returned to their original stable burning state, as if they had just had a hearty meal.
Yu Wang stared at the three ducks.
The three ducks were scratching their heads, yawning, spacing out—there were all sorts of things, but none of them suddenly had an epiphany.
"Perhaps you haven't offered sacrifices enough times. Maybe if you try a few more times, it will work."
His original plan was to find a suitable place to display the little figurine and have the ducks offer it food scraps from time to time. He wanted to take advantage of the relatively relaxed initial review period to try to increase the "God of Food's" favorability and become a shallow believer.
The God of Cookery is so enlightened that employees of his shops, regardless of race, can receive abilities bestowed by him as long as they have worked for a certain number of years.
"So, the great God of Food, Umur, the furnace of all things, shouldn't refuse a hardworking and adorable duck that knows how to make offerings, right?" Yu Wang thought this plan was quite feasible.
The God of Cookery might not mind, but Iris Stewart does.
The mass-produced handicrafts from the bottom of the pot cannot be placed within 3 meters of the Iristi figure.
Just like the like poles of a magnet, they can hardly get close to each other.
Even the face of the Iristiel figurine clearly showed disgust and a "take it away" expression.
Having no other choice, Yu Wang had to place the God of Cookery figurine on Zhang Xinlan's "Ghost Pirate Ship".
Poor Zhang Xinlan had to clean with her round belly, using seaweed mud with a fresh scent to purify the air in the cabin.
At 10:00 AM, Lin Che sent a message to Yu Wang discussing matters related to the Puppet Gu.
However, Lin Che was mainly explaining the detailed usage and precautions of the newly cultivated puppet gu, while Yu Wang listened quietly, occasionally asking one or two key questions.
Lin Sanshui: "The cultivation of the puppet gu is going smoothly! After you get your hands on them, feed them some of your blood and they will recognize you as their master."
However, there are a few points to note: the principle of puppet gu is essentially to first cripple the target through violent means, and then, in conjunction with the mental suggestion brought by the gu worm, forcibly establish a master-slave relationship, thereby achieving the purpose of enslavement.
Therefore, to increase the success rate, it is best to let the puppet gu have a real man's duel with the target it wants to control!
In this way, once the controlled target is subdued by the puppet gu, the effect of the mental suggestion will be even stronger!
Lin Sanshui: "Don't worry, once the puppet gu is successfully implanted, the gu worm will continuously release mental intimidation, causing the enslaved target to subconsciously feel fear, and it will continuously absorb energy from the host's body to strengthen its control. Therefore, there is no possibility of it turning against you once it has recovered and become powerful."
On the contrary, the longer the enslavement lasts, the higher the degree of control!
To defeat them? A duel between real men?
No wonder they say that overly intelligent creatures cannot be enslaved; overly intelligent creatures can be beaten into submission!
Yu Wang felt that this puppet Gu was strange, and he had evidence to support it.
Although he had never seen a real Gu worm, he always felt that a proper puppet Gu was not used in this way.
Just as the two ended their communication, Yu Wang received three rhinoceros beetles that Lin Che had traded for. These beetles were specially enhanced, larger in size, with shiny black shells, bulging muscles, and obviously had explosive combat power.
"Whoosh—!!"
*Splash!*
A series of deep, long, and magnificent sounds of water spouting came from the sea!
The deep, resonant sound, with its powerful rhythm, shattered the tranquility around the Little Yellow Duck.
Yu Wang and Zhang Xinlan, who were on two separate ships, simultaneously stopped what they were doing, looked up warily, and quickly moved to the porthole to look outside.
About one nautical mile away from the Little Yellow Duck, on the deep blue sea, a group of enormous creatures were leisurely swimming by, their massive figures even obscuring part of the distant horizon.
Those were seven or eight enormous, sea dragon-like beasts of astonishing size!
Each one measures over 100 meters in length, larger than many small islands! Their slender and graceful bodies are mostly submerged below the sea surface, with only their broad backs, covered with special textures and undulating like continuous mountain ridges, exposed. Occasionally, they will peek out of the sea with their snouts and then spray out jets of white mist water tens of meters high from their nostrils!
The water column lingered briefly in the air before turning into a fine mist that fell and formed a small rainbow under the refraction of sunlight.
Ignoring their inherent threat, they are quite beautiful, like walking musical fountains.
Yu Wang stared intently for a while and immediately recognized the unique, ice-crack-like patterns on the bodies of these giant beasts.
It is the marine mammal Vamitanosaurus. They inhabit glacial seas and their ecological niche is somewhat similar to that of whales in the real world. They are gentle in nature and undertake long-distance seasonal migrations in search of food.
There is generally no danger as long as you do not approach their young or block their migration route.
Looking at the magnificent figure that resembled a moving mountain range, Zhang Xinlan exclaimed in awe, "So big—if I could catch a fish this big in my lifetime, I would die happy!"
As if to confirm that this was not an isolated incident, the regional chat channel also became lively almost simultaneously:
Little Conch Shell: "Wow! Did you guys see that flock of birds flying overhead?! A huge, dark mass, like a dark cloud!"
"No? It's sunny and scorching hot here! I only saw a few seagulls."
"Only a few birds fly by here, and they almost stole my breakfast."
Little Conch Shell: {Image}{Image} I just took these pictures! I'm not kidding! Huge birds almost filled the entire island! It's spectacular! Like a huge conference!
The picture shows a small rocky island teeming with large seabirds of various shapes and sizes, their brightly colored plumage covering almost every inch of the exposed rocks. The dark mass is a spectacular sight.
Judging from their condition, they seem to be making the most of their time to rest at their resting place.
"My God! So many!"
"What's going on? Is this the Great Migration of animals?"
"Nonsense, don't you remember the system mentioning the razorback mackerel migration before? The mackerel schools haven't appeared in large numbers yet; these are predators that have come early to secure good spots on the dinner table! @LittleSnail, take some more pictures."
Little Conch: "I'm not filming anymore! I'm being watched! I don't dare go out! These birds are no pushovers; there are plenty of enormous raptors with wingspans of several meters or even tens of meters! If I go out, I'll probably just get sucked up like an earthworm!"
Yu Wang opened the image, zoomed in, and his sharp gaze swept quickly across the dense flock of seabirds. Soon, his eyes narrowed, and he spotted several birds with silver-gray feather tips, long beaks, and heads resembling owls among the birds at the edge of the image.
"Voiceprint Wind Bird—" Yu Wang's heart stirred.
Among the birds that migrate with the fish, there is the "vocalized pheasant"!
Once you catch one, you'll have all the materials to make an underwater radar!
Adding bedbugs provides double protection during the migration season!
Otherwise, to avoid being dragged into the water by the giant scavenging flower, he would have no choice but to temporarily travel with nearby ships in order to protect himself.
If the shadow above becomes large enough, such as the size of a Vamitanosaurus, the Bone-Eating Flower will know to temporarily avoid its attack.
A similar effect can be achieved by having multiple ships close together.
Suppressing his excitement, Yu Wang immediately sent a private message to the person who posted the picture, "Little Conch Shell," saying, "You're going to hit the jackpot! Hello, could you please provide the exact coordinates of the seabird island in the picture, as well as the observed migration direction of the flocks of birds? Is it possible to trade these details? I need this information."
The message was replied to almost instantly.
Little Conch Shell: "Sure! Of course! It's my pleasure! If you need anything, I'll just tell you!"
The other party was very enthusiastic and quickly sent over the coordinates and information about the flock of birds.
You're about to hit the jackpot: "What materials do you want to change to?"
Little Conch Shell: "No need, no need! I exchanged a bottle of green tea with you before. I used to hate green tea, thinking it was bitter and astringent. But after being exposed to the sun all day without drinking a drop of water, I found green tea to be absolutely divine. It was bitter at first but sweet later, and it was especially refreshing in the summer heat. You helped me through a tough time before, so this is my way of giving back to you!"
Despite this, Yu Wang still sent over a bottle of monster essence.
The drop rate for this item is low, but the sheer amount of grinding at night has kept it going, and Yu Wang already has over two hundred bottles.
It's somewhat effective against lower-level creatures, but those with greater strength can spot the trick at a glance.
Therefore, Yu Wang looked forward to the upgrade of the "Potion Station" so that he could add some things to the "Monster Essence" and make some improvements.
Among the special materials for upgrading the potion station, holy water is already available; only magic powder is missing.
This item belongs to the extraordinary class and is not rare in the later stages. If the gods are in a good mood when offering it, they will give you a lot.
However, at this stage, the only way to obtain it may be through the Siren Merchant.
After ending his conversation with the little conch shell, Yu Wang imported the coordinates into his map and discovered that the island was located at his current location.
The autonomous driving system determined that it would take five days to reach the rear of the island at full speed.
Turning back is impossible; a good ship doesn't go backwards.
However, judging from the direction and speed of the flock's flight, this huge flock of birds attracted by the "razor mackerel migration" will most likely pass through the sea area where they are currently located.
"It seems we'll have to wait a while longer," Yu Wang estimated. "It'll take at least another day or two for the flock to get here."
After dealing with the bird flock intelligence, Yu Wang was about to go to the Sea Bug instance when a golden announcement suddenly popped up above the chat channel of section 444 without warning!
[Warmest congratulations! Congratulations to Survivor #444 for successfully exploring and unlocking the first long-term dungeon in Region 14 – "Lion Ant Dynasty"!]
[Announcement for all regions: The "Dungeon" module and the "Regional" ranking module are now officially open to survivors in all 14 regions! Use Pearls to quickly enter dungeons from your personal panel! Explore the unknown, challenge yourself, and reap glory and resources!]
(P.S.: Because the discoverer belongs to Sector 444, survivors in that sector have 7 days of priority exploration rights! Hurry up!)
The official launch of the "Dungeon Module" and "Regional Rankings" signifies a major step forward in the game's progress, and competition is about to begin.
One region has 100 million people, and a total of 1000 sub-regions!
Before the rankings are released, you can comfort yourself by thinking that maybe your division isn't so bad.
Reality, however, delivered a harsh slap in the face.
That means the regional chat channel hasn't been opened yet, otherwise the roof would definitely be falling off right now.
