King from scratch

He Xingwen held up the unknown fruit in his hand and looked at it under the light.

Light penetrates the translucent red shell, revealing its interior to He Xingwen.

The transparent liquid surged within the shell, enveloping clusters of flocs without any animal organs. Obviously, although it was undulating, it was indeed a plant fruit.

"system?"

"It can be eaten."

He Xingwen peeled off the shell and smelled some fragrance, just like what Yan said, it tastes good, a bit like coconut.

The clear water of the lake reflects the sky, as well as the open land that has been opened up. The bonfire built with simple stones is burning brightly, and branches and fruits are piled up in different categories.

Yan dragged out trees from the forest, most of the trees dragged on the ground, dragging a deep mark on the ground.

He Xingwen's eyes paused on the tree dragged by Yan. It was a complete tree with a lush crown and a trunk so thick that two people couldn't hug it. The broken part at the bottom was uneven. too huge.

Yan's muscles bulged into one piece after another, dragging it forward with brute force.

On the other side of the flat open space ahead, there are several equally thick trees piled up.

Looks like it's the stuff he used to build his cabin.

He Xingwen was about to take a step to see how Yan brought down these trees, but before he could move, he heard the sound of something jumping out of the water.

A fish jumped up from the lake, splashing a splash of water.

This fish is silvery white, long and slender, almost the size of an arm. When flying in the air, the golden fish bones in its body are clearly visible, shining brightly under the light.

Golden fish bones?

No, it's not just the golden fish bones. Under He Xingwen's gaze, this fish was quickly stained with a layer of gold, and something broke out from its back, and it suddenly unfolded.

It flies.

"Yun——" the long tone echoed in the air, it hovered in the air, and dropped golden light.

All kinds of fish floated on the surface of the water, covering the entire lake densely.

They chase these golden lights across the water.

This was a shocking scene, but the most shocking thing was that... unknown creature hovering in the air.

It exudes the breath of golden legend from top to bottom, and its appearance is enough to rank among the SSR.

While He Xingwen was staring at the unknown creature in the sky, something flashed past his line of sight and hit him right in the face.

Singing loudly on the surface of the lake, the hovering golden creature was carried by this huge force and fell directly to the ground opposite the lake.

The birdsong died away.

The scene fell into silence.

The lake full of fish quickly returned to calm.

Yan ran to the other side of the lake to pick up his prey, ran back again, and handed his prey to He Xingwen like offering a treasure: "King?"

He Xingwen silently stared at the golden glob in his hand, and saw clearly the true shape of the weapon that killed it—a sharp branch.

The branch had penetrated it completely, and that was the cause of its death.

But it didn't bleed. In fact, what flowed out of its body was some kind of golden liquid, which stained Yan's hand and the branches, covering them together with a layer of golden brilliance.

At this distance, He Xingwen was sure enough that it was not covered with a layer of golden light, but it was golden.

Or……

He Xingwen stretched out his hand, and the touch under his hand was a little familiar, like...

Yan: "It's hardened."

It became a sculpture—the solid gold kind.

"To you, king."

Yan went back to continue building his small wooden house, while He Xingwen stared at the artwork in his hand for a few seconds and weighed it: "It's like a piece of gold now."

The system confirmed his guess: "It is."

A whole arm-sized piece of art made of gold...

He Xingwen sighed.

The system reacted extremely sharply: "Do you want to take it out?"

"Can it be taken out?"

He Xingwen squatted down, let go of his hand, and the sculpture slipped from his hand, making a dull sound in the water.

The huge weight carried it to the bottom silently, and fish schools emerged from the water surface, and they supported it.

"Of course not." The system's answer was long overdue.

The school of fish supporting it surged up layer by layer, devouring the gold, and the dark yellow gold powder fell off with their movements, revealing the bright golden light underneath.

The branch that originally penetrated it fell off without a sound, and the corpse flicked its tail and jumped out of the lake again.

"yun—"

He Xingwen subconsciously turned his head to look at Yan, and Yan, who was dragging the tree, stopped and looked at the golden creature hovering above the lake.

He paused for a few seconds, did not respond to this, and looked away as if nothing had happened, and continued to drag the tree forward.

He Xingwen let go of his heart, and turned to another point: "What kind of creature is this?"

The system said straightly: "This needs you to name it."

"You don't have any information on it?"

"Intelligence is required to allow access to relevant records."

"A very reasonable explanation." He Xingwen put this question into a small box deep in his brain, commented casually, and stopped the conversation.

He stood up and walked towards the direction where Yan stepped into the forest.

At the entrance to the forest, he solved the mystery - the mystery of how Yan had acquired those trees.

Yan silently bumped into the big tree, again and again, until the tree broke from the bottom and was completely knocked down.

It was not difficult for him, two or three hits, and the towering trees would fall down--but the visual effect was very shocking.

The pure human power is in stark contrast to the tall tree, so that the process of the tree falling is like a scene that would only be staged in some kind of weird movie, showing absurdity in reality.

He Xingwen turned sideways to make way for Yan who was carrying the tree, and confirmed with the system: "Is this the initial villager given as a gift?"

"Yes."

From fish to bird, the resurrected creature and Yan's behavior of easily shooting each other through, as well as the power beyond human beings were linked together in He Xingwen's mind to form the final answer.

"So, this world is dangerous?"

"In front of you, there is no danger."

"Yun——" the high-pitched voice in the sky gradually weakened, and after hovering in the air for a while, it stopped singing.

A golden unknown creature flew across the sky, its tail caught He Xingwen's collar, and it landed on He Xingwen's shoulder.

System: "You are the master of all things, you created the rules, the great king, in your territory, you dominate everything, including dangers."

He Xingwen reached out and touched it, and the touch under his hand was a little strange, like gold, a piece of gold that radiated warmth.

So He Xingwen touched it a few more times.

"Go." He Xingwen patted it and said.

"Yun——" it flew into the sky again, heading towards the depths of the forest.

He Xingwen's gaze then fell to the depths of the forest, and strange sounds came from there, the howling of ferocious beasts, the vibration of running, the dull roar... It was very lively.

"This setting reduces the difficulty of the game for the players. In the bad start, there is finally something not so bad."

He Xingwen walked into the depths of the forest while talking.

The closer to the depths of the forest, the less sunlight, until it is completely covered by layers of tree canopies, leaving a cold and damp atmosphere.

The system asked back with uncertainty: "Is this a bad start?"

He said honestly: "Since just now, your mood has been stable and excited."

"Obviously, you like this opening very much."

Because the area of ​​the territory is not large enough, the area of ​​this forest is very small - it seems a bit too small to be called a forest, but anyone who has witnessed the scene deep in the forest will not think so.

Because the small area does not affect its species richness.

In the depths of the narrow forest, there are huge predators and dense herd animals that violate the rules of nature.

According to the laws of nature, this scene should never have happened.

But if that's the case, then this oasis shouldn't even appear.

Therefore, animals that violate the rules of nature magically coexist in the narrow forest.

He Xingwen raised his head and stared at the huge predator in front of him.

His voice was almost whispering in the forest full of roaring beasts: "Even if the plot and setting of this game are a mess, players will be excited for its existence, not to mention that its setting is not bad. Not a bad mess."

The whispers drifted into the predator's ears with the wind, and the huge golden pupils narrowed slightly, falling on He Xingwen's body. Their eyes met, and He Xingwen's pupils clearly reflected the opponent's appearance.

This is a huge carnivorous animal. It squatted on the fallen tree trunk, overlooking He Xingwen from a high position. It pressed its sharp claws on the corpse of its prey. There was a sound of collision, and a cold silver light shone under the hair covering its whole body.

The blood at the corner of its mouth hadn't dried up, dripping down tick-tock.

Obviously, He Xingwen broke into the other party's eating scene.

He Xingwen can smell blood, and with the wind drifting into his nostrils, he can hear the voices of other animals, the chirping sounds that are incompatible with this scene, some kind of herd animals are sharing daily life with their companions; not far away In another hunt that happened, the fast running of the prey caused the ground to tremble slightly, and the roar of the predator sounded, and a group of prey panicked as feedback.

They shouldn't have happened at the same time.

The stronger the beast, the stronger the sense of territory.

In front of a predator of this level, all animals can become his prey, so even the survival instinct will keep other animals away from each other's territory.

But the forest is too small for this to happen.

So these animals miraculously coexist in too close a distance, just a few meters away from the predation scene, other creatures are also hunting and being prey.

"Lord of all things?"

The golden pupils stared at He Xingwen with a silent warning.

He Xingwen lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't look like it is ready to obey its master."

System: "But it also doesn't mean to attack you."

He Xingwen stepped back cautiously, his golden pupils kept staring at him until the dense trees obstructed the line of sight, and then the staring was interrupted.

He Xingwen stopped, looked back, and found that he had retreated to the entrance of the forest—this forest was so big, and he could say that he had stepped into the depths of the forest after turning a slight turn.

He Xingwen calmed down his heartbeat, and facing the beast at close range was far more terrifying than imagined—it was the existence at the top of the food chain, not the king of beasts locked in a cage.

The strong smell of blood was unpleasant, and the passing death was very real.

He Xingwen tried his best not to look so embarrassed: "This feeling is too real, you should give a code to the too bloody scene."

"Otherwise the game will not pass the review."

"You don't look well right now." The system paid attention to He Xingwen's state: "Does it make you uncomfortable?"

The fast beating heartbeat calmed down, and He Xingwen cast his gaze into the depths of the forest. The lush branches swayed with the wind, blocking the scenery in the depths.

"You make me feel that this game is extremely safe."

"Because it is true." System: "It won't hurt you, you are the only master of this territory, and you dominate everything."

"Here we go again." He Xingwen muttered, with a youthful air: "You don't understand what I'm talking about at all."

"Perhaps, as you said, this game is not difficult for me."

"But being in awe makes it all the better."

He Xingwen spoke quickly: "Games without difficulty often end quickly. For the sake of the player's game time, you should restrain your excessive praise."

"It's over soon?"

The system's database analyzed this passage word by word, and extracted the main points from it: "So, in the future you see, the game ends quickly?"

He Xingwen has a deep understanding that he is talking to an intelligent creature - an AI with super computing power is enough to analyze the hidden lines that the speaker himself has not noticed.

After a short pause, He Xingwen confirmed his guess: "That's right, I saw it. The powerful empire was eventually destroyed, and the game ended in failure."

The system fell silent.

"So, don't be so arrogant. From the beginning of the game, you must be sure that this game will not be difficult for players."

After sharing the little secret, He Xingwen's tone relaxed again: "Even in the simple mode, there is a possibility of failure."

The system has his insistence on this: "But theoretically, this cannot happen."

He Xingwen didn't take it seriously—whether it was the future he had seen, or the system's entanglement with it: "From the moment I saw it, the future has been changed."

"Whether it will happen depends on who we are now, not some so-called fate."

After a brief silence, the system said: "I think I have found the reason why you surpass my judgment on you."

"Those unique landscapes you see make you unique."

He Xingwen: "It sounds like a compliment."

"It is."
