"no."
Of course Mu You would not be stupid enough to jump into the water directly. His attributes were already dissatisfied, and his combat effectiveness plummeted when he got into the water, leaving him at the mercy of others.
However, Mu You did not think that the sea in front of him was really a sea, because how could a real sea produce such regular tsunamis.
This place is more likely to be a river or a lake. In this case, as long as you walk along the shore, you can always find the source, it just takes a few more detours.
[You gave up on the dangerous waters and chose to continue along the coast...]
Then he entered the land reclamation mode again, because the map he picked up before did not involve the seaside terrain, and other players had not explored this place yet. From now on, Muyou had no information to refer to.
[The sea water is filled with fine ripples, rushing past and receding from your feet again and again, leaving behind shells and crab remains all over the ground, and occasionally you can see stranded fish fry...]
[You suddenly notice that there is a dark mass in front of you, like a piece of liquid jelly, squirming on the ground. Do you want to come forward and check? 】
[You hurriedly stepped forward to check, only to find that it was an ordinary sea snail, but the shell was stained with a layer of sticky substance as black as ink. This layer of substance caused the sea snail to be stuck to the sand, and no matter how hard it struggled, it could not survive Very difficult to move. Are you going to help it out? 】
Sea snail, Mu You remembers that it is a gentle creature and will not take the initiative to attack, so his current defensive counterattack system is also ineffective against it.
Since you can't swipe it, then simply help it. It doesn't use up your energy anyway, and maybe you can get some benefits or something.
[You pick up a fish bone from the side and use the fish bone to cut a slit in the ink on the sea snail's body. With your help, the sea snail climbed with all its strength and finally got rid of the sticky liquid on its body. 】
[The freed sea snail did not stay to thank you, but accelerated away from the place without looking back, and quickly disappeared under the water. 】
"Isn't it good..."
Mu You felt a little pity, but he wasn't too surprised. After all, he was just a snail. How high could his IQ be?
However, just when Mu You shook his head and was about to continue on his way, a new prompt popped up.
[You took the initiative to help a gentle creature escape from danger, and your goodwill value +1. 】
"Goodwill value?" Mu You was stunned. This was the first time he saw this entry, so he hurriedly clicked to view it.
[Goodwill Value: A world law jointly created by multiple neutral good, lawful good, and chaotic good gods. In order to make the world more peaceful and friendly, in the real world, you will gain goodwill points by actively performing various kind deeds. Whenever After the goodwill value accumulates to a certain level, you can obtain a series of special surprises set by these gods. 】
"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" Mu You's eyes lit up.
World law, this is probably similar to national law, but it is much more powerful than law. Law must at least be supervised and enforced by someone. If you want to prove that you have done good deeds, you must first find someone to witness it, and this thing is directly carved into the world by the gods. Rules, as long as you act in this world, it will be automatically triggered regardless of whether anyone sees it or not.
Mu You hurriedly looked back at the panel. Unfortunately, there was no goodwill value in the panel. It was probably some kind of hidden attribute that even the omniscient crystal couldn't see.
Without being able to see the value, Mu You could only assume that the initial goodwill values were all zero, so now he only had one point and didn't know how much it would have to add up to get the reward.
Moreover, since there is a goodwill value, there may also be a malicious value.
Muyou searched on the forum.
Sure enough, I found more than ten posts about the value of good and evil.
With a large number of players opening up wasteland, no matter how low the probability is, someone will always be able to trigger this kind of event.
However, the explanation of the malice value was different from Mu You's imagination. He originally thought that the malice value must correspond to punishment. As a result, the malice value was actually a reward!
[Malicious value: The world law jointly created by multiple chaotic evil, neutral evil, and lawful evil gods. In order to counter the various restrictions set by those good gods without authorization, the world will be freer and life will evolve more perfectly. , actively performing various evil deeds will gain malice points. Whenever the malice points accumulate to a certain level, you can obtain a series of special surprises set by evil gods. 】
This is the detailed description copied by the player who triggered the malice value. It is almost the same as the goodwill value, except that the gods are replaced by another wave.
"Good and lawful... chaotic evil... It seems that the Gods are divided into many factions..." Mu You thought to himself.
There are other posts later that have been specifically tested. These two values cannot be superimposed. If you do good things and then do evil things, the goodwill value will be deducted, and vice versa.
In other words, if you want to be rewarded for good or evil, you must either keep doing good things or keep doing evil. In short, you can only go one way to the end, and you cannot swing back and forth.
As for whether good and evil should follow the faction of the god they believe in, there seems to be no hard requirement in this regard.
The player in the forum who triggered the malicious value happened to be from the order system. He did not receive any punishment or warning after committing evil, which shows that the choice in this regard should be free.
As for whether he will be good or evil, Mu You is not sure yet, let's wait and see.
Next, Mu You continued on the road.
But this time, while rushing to kill monsters, there is one more thing: triggering good and evil events.
[You help a stranded fry return to the water, your goodwill value +1...]
[You returned a dung ball lost by the golden beetle to the other party. The golden beetle glared at you coldly and pushed the dung ball away. Your goodwill value +1...]
…
Along the way, Mu You gradually discovered that the good and evil values are not so easy to trigger.
Not to mention the goodwill value, helping those little creatures is equivalent to giving up the divinity that can be obtained by hunting them, and it is equivalent to exchanging divinity for goodwill points.
Mu You originally thought that killing neutral creatures could kill two birds with one stone, harvesting divinity and earning malice points. However, after trying it, he found that it didn't work. Killing neutral creatures was not considered an evil deed, but was counted as normal hunting and survival. Needed...
Real evil deeds are often thankless things, such as destroying the pheromones that some ants send home and letting them spin around in circles, just for fun; or stealing other creatures' things and then destroying them, and then just sit and watch. The other party is anxious to wait. If you steal it for your own use or resell it as a gift, it will still be counted as necessary for survival and will not increase the malicious value.
In short, it seems that these two aspects have very strict judgments, leaving no loopholes for people to take advantage of.
After such attempts, Mu You is more inclined to do good deeds. It is thankless anyway. Doing good deeds will at least not cause psychological burden and make you feel happier.
Mu You spent the next three hours exploring the path and accumulating goodwill points.
Unfortunately, even after accumulating more than ten points, no rewards appeared.
But the tsunami came three more times in between.
Mu You followed the same method every time, finding an unlucky slippery beetle as a scapegoat, and survived all three tsunamis smoothly.
However, he has also discovered that as he moves forward, the power of the tsunami begins to increase significantly, which can be seen from the increasing number of lives he loses under the cover of each sliding shell.
Especially during the third tsunami just now, he only had two points of full health left, and he almost died on the spot.
According to this rule, he will definitely die in the next tsunami!
There is no way, the attributes are really too low now, which indirectly affects the upper limit of the health bar.
Fortunately, this phenomenon also shows that he is indeed getting closer to the starting point of the tsunami.
"We must find clues within the next hour!"
After the tsunami, Mu You found a monster to replenish his blood with the Song of Peace, and then continued on his way.
In order to find the source before the next tsunami, this time he even gave up on spawning monsters and goodwill points and rushed on at full speed.
However, just a few minutes after setting off, a brand new prompt suddenly popped up.
[While walking along the coast, you suddenly notice a disharmonious feeling. 】
[This makes you instinctively stop and look back. The strange feeling comes from a rock not far from you. Do you want to come forward and check? 】
"yes!"
[You hurriedly stepped forward to check. It was a piece of ordinary-looking sea sandstone, laid flat on the sand. The surface had been washed by the sea water and was as smooth as a mirror. 】
[But from the perspective of order, you can clearly see the disorder on the surface of this rock. 】
[Obviously, this rock has been artificially processed, perhaps to hide something. Now that you have mastered the power of order, perhaps you can try to repair these chaotic orders and restore its original appearance. 】
[Restore order], [Leave temporarily]
"oh?"
Mu You raised his eyebrows. This was the first time we encountered an incident that required restoration of order.
After thinking about it, he held the pocket watch and tried to repair it first.
[You take out the pen of order and start to repair the disordered order ahead. Repair is in progress and is expected to be completed in 30 minutes...]
"half an hour……"
Mu You frowned, a little confused.
We are busy on our way now. If we waste half an hour here, our exploration will basically come to nothing and we will have to wait another week.
But after finally triggering such a novel event, it seems a bit unwilling to just give up...
After hesitating for a few seconds, Mu You decided to continue repairing it.
If you can't find the clue, you'll have to look for it next week. If you miss the event, it may not be there next time.
After making a decision, Muyou simply hung up for half an hour.
【Repair completed! 】
[As the last stroke fell, you saw a half-meter circular entrance appear on the originally smooth stone surface under your feet. There was actually a hidden crypt dug out by humans below! Do you want to start the investigation immediately? 】
"yes!"
Mu You held the pocket watch. No matter what it was, he went down to take a look first.
[You jumped into the cave entrance without fear, but quickly landed. Looking up, the cave was much narrower than you imagined, only the size of a room. 】
[There is a rotten wooden bed placed in the cave, and a humanoid skeleton is leaning on the corner of the cave. Otherwise, the entire cave is empty. 】
[You walk up to the skeleton and check it out, and quickly confirm that it is a human skeleton. Judging from the condition of the skeleton, it seems that it has been dead for thousands of years. 】
[You see several pieces of smoothed gravel next to the skeleton, with some Protoss characters engraved on the stones. 】
["After many efforts, Rinat Batalov, a hydrographic surveyor of the land reclamation team, finally discovered the cause of the tsunami. However, while going into the sea to approach the source of the tsunami, our ship encountered a shipwreck..." 】
["When that thing appeared, the world instantly turned completely black... After the disaster, only Elise and I survived..."]
["Elise suddenly laughed like crazy and jumped into the water, never to come back again..."]
["Damn, the whole team was killed by that thing, what on earth is that thing..."]
["It's obvious that I got the information with great difficulty, but I can no longer pass the information back... I can feel that it is above the stone, waiting for me to come out... I'm afraid I'm going to be blocked here..." 】
["I'm dying... If anyone comes after you see these rocks, please remember, don't go into the water! Don't go into the water! There is some kind of indescribable horror under the water. Rather than face this thing, I would rather face it." To the giant..."]
"???"
Mu You was startled. This skeleton seemed to be the same as the previous bones, the remains of an ancestor of the Fool, but the experience of this ancestor of the Fool was much worse. A whole team of people were wiped out in the water, and they all died inexplicably. They even used To describe it as "indescribable", it can be seen how terrifying the oppression this thing brought to the fools at that time.
In the end, the man didn't know what method he used to hide in this cave to escape the disaster, but in the end he also starved to death here.
What makes Mu You speechless is that this person clearly found clues to the tsunami, but the message contained a warning and did not mention writing down the clues. Wasn't this a waste of time...
Mu You was helpless and had to control the character to search carefully in the cave, hoping to find some other clues.
Fortunately, this search really allowed him to find a good thing.
[You search the cave and finally find an old monocular telescope under the wooden bed. 】
[Fog-breaking mirror: Hidden relic, it can temporarily penetrate the fog and see the scene in the fan-shaped area ahead at a small angle (within 10 degrees) and within 10,000 meters away. Can only be used once every 24 hours. 】
"nice one!"
Mu You was immediately happy when he saw the description of this thing.
It’s actually a relic of Po Wu!
Just looking at the status of the previous giantess among the God-Eating Beasts, we can see how important vision is in this world. This is the first time Mu You has encountered something that can directly see through the fog of the real world.
This thing can only be used once a day, and it can only see clearly within a 10-degree sector. In other words, it would take more than a month to fully explore the surrounding 360-degree area!
But this thing is completely different in Mu You's hands. With the pocket watch, he can even use it unlimitedly anytime, anywhere! To him, this effect is equivalent to normal existence.
In other words, from this moment on, his field of vision has jumped from 30 meters to 10,000 meters!
What made Mu You even more delighted was that since the surveyor said that he had found the source of the tsunami, he probably saw it through the telescope through the fog.
Since the other party can see it, Mu You should also be able to see it directly now!
Thinking of this, Mu You immediately left the crypt, controlled the character to find a higher position outside, and began to use the fog-breaking mirror to check the surroundings.
[You raise the fog-breaking mirror and look towards the area 0-10 degrees due south. 】
[When you see the vast white sea, the wind and waves are calm, you don’t see anything...]
"Looking back..."
[As time goes by, you raise the fog-breaking mirror again and look towards the area 10-20 degrees due south...]
…
Mu You patiently tried one after another. The first few times were "a vast sea of white", until he turned to 50-60 degrees, the results finally changed.
However, when Mu You looked at the new text prompt that popped up below, he couldn't help but cursed inwardly, "Hi, whose faucet was forgotten to turn off?"
