Onboard the Nyxstar, Yang Yi received a private message from Zhou Dai."Want to form a fleet with me?" Zhou Dai proposed."No, I'm used to being a lone wolf," he refuses. "Besides, I have the kind of face other players just love to punch.""That's a real shame!" Zhou Dai seemed a bit disappointed. "Go ahead and transfer the Brain-Eater's corpse over. Let's complete the trade quickly. Because the Extreme Winter Sea is already very close!"Yang Yi immediately checked the main sea chart. He discovered that the Extreme Winter Sea's rate of expansion had increased; it was about to reach this island. The players who were still preparing were caught off guard by this sudden move from the system and could only hastily change their plans, entering the Extreme Winter Sea ahead of schedule. The chat channel, in turn, was filled with curses and complaints.Yang Yi couldn't be bothered to look. He felt his way onto the deck in the darkness. The cold wind raged, the temperature seemed to have dropped even more, and some cold, soft objects hit his cheeks. It was snow. It seemed to be snowing, and quite heavily at that, adding a touch of chill to this stretch of sea.Yang Yi braved the cold wind, feeling his way along the ship's edge, and arrived at the forecastle deck, stopping in front of the octopus-head gacha machine. Then, he fumbled inside his clothes and took out the Brain-Eater's corpse that he had hidden there. There was no help for it; this corpse couldn't be put into the Greedy Stomach Pouch, so he had been hiding it in his clothes all this time, creating a large bulge. Perhaps Suna had noticed it too, but since Yang Yi didn't mention it, she didn't ask."The Light of Truth…"Yang Yi lifted the Brain-Eater's corpse. Perhaps she could also be called Lady Ronette, a witch who embodied both beauty and wisdom. The words Ronette spoke before she died flashed through his mind. She wanted Yang Yi to give the Stone of Truth to Suna, to let her inherit the knowledge within.But Yang Yi… he had no intention of doing so. He hadn't even mentioned Ronette's existence to Suna. In his view, the unrestrained exploration of unknown domains and the acquisition of forbidden knowledge was, in fact, just as dangerous as worshipping a god. It was very likely to invite great terror.It was just like the moths fluttering around a streetlamp. It's fine to watch from the outside, but if you try to fly into the lamp, you'll only meet death, or something even more terrifying than death!He took out the Stone of Truth he'd been hiding on his person, weighed it in his hand; it was quite heavy. The next second, he suddenly made a throwing motion, intending to toss the Stone of Truth into the sea. But just an instant before letting go, he stopped his hand, suddenly changing his mind.What if this stone was eaten by some life form in the sea? Would it produce some terrifying change…? Yang Yi suddenly had this thought.After thinking it over and over, Yang Yi decided to keep the stone with him. Only by keeping it on his person could he be at ease.Afterward, he tossed Ronette's corpse into the monster gacha machine, preparing to complete the trade with Zhou Dai.[Warning: After trading the Strange Demon's corpse, it cannot be used for the gacha, and its physiological structure may be altered or missing.]A notification suddenly popped up in his log."What the… you don't mean this monster gacha machine steals a bite during the transfer process?" Yang Yi was flabbergasted. He was now more and more inclined to believe that the gacha machine was a living thing.The trade ended, and the items from Zhou Dai's side were quickly transferred over. Yang Yi's account had 20,000 more Conch Coins, and in his hand was a folded, square handkerchief. It felt like silk, light as nothing, folded into many layers, each layer thinner than paper. At the same time, he received the information for the Twilight Veil.[Name: Twilight Veil][Type: Ship Equipment][Quality: Exquisite][Description: Must be installed at the top of a mast. When the ship is anchored and has stopped sailing, the Twilight Veil can be unfurled to hide the ship's form. The entire process takes 15 minutes, after which the ship will be optically invisible, blending in with its surroundings. Cannot be used when the ship is in a dangerous environment, and the invisibility will also be canceled upon taking damage.]After reading the information, Yang Yi was very satisfied. Although there were limitations, the basic function and effect could still be guaranteed. In the future, when exploring islands, as long as he anchored somewhere remote, he basically wouldn't have to worry about harassment from other players! After all, most players rely on telescopes to observe their surroundings; they wouldn't be able to spot the invisible Nyxstar.After completing the trade, another private message came from Zhou Dai."Are you sure you don't want to come to my ship for a get-together? My ship is quite large, and there's a chapel on it with a statue of the Luminous Goddess. ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) If you pray to the goddess statue, you can increase the recovery rate of your Sanity, and even gain some good positive statuses…""No need!" Yang Yi refused decisively. "I'm the type who's naturally disliked by the gods. If I went to pray, I might be identified as a heretic and burned on the spot for all I know.""How is that possible!" Zhou Dai replied instantly. "The Luminous Goddess is benevolent and full of universal love! She will accept every believer who sincerely prays to her!"Yang Yi was noncommittal and didn't discuss matters of faith with Zhou Dai any further. The two exchanged a few pleasantries and ended the communication.Not long after, the Radiant Goddess officially set sail, leaving the island and heading toward the Extreme Winter Sea. Although Yang Yi couldn't observe it, he had Suna to help him, so he quickly learned of the other's movements. After a brief thought, Yang Yi made the same decision: to leave the island. But he had to change direction to avoid meeting Zhou Dai again. His feeling about this woman was not very good.As for the resources on the island, Yang Yi decided to give them up. Because the Extreme Winter Sea was spreading rapidly, staying here would only delay him, putting him at the tail end of the main player force. And the tail end could be the most dangerous position. At least, that's how it was in the last stormy sea area. So this time, Yang Yi intended to stay a bit closer to the front.Once Suna has set their course, he returns to the gacha machine, a charred werewolf skull in hand. He'd salvaged it from the fire, though his Greedy Stomach Pouch had already eaten all the tasty burnt bits off it. Suna watches him, wrinkling her nose as if to say, 'Are you really going to touch that?'Feeling a bit inspired by Zhou Dai, he clasps his hands and prays with the fervor of a man who really, really wants a cool new toy. "Oh, mighty gods of whatever, please don't let me get another stupid hat."He shoves the skull into the machine’s slimy maw. "Abracadabra, hocus pocus, give me something that isn't bogus!" he chants, turning the crank.Clunka-lunka-PLOP!A gacha capsule was spat out by the octopus-head gacha machine. Yang Yi immediately bent down, fumbling around on the ground, and then his face broke into ecstasy."Ha! See? I'm just that good!" he exclaims, completely forgetting the gods he was just begging. They have now been relegated to 'emergency luck buttons' for future gacha pulls.
