"System, can you provide me with background information for this game instance?"
Unlike the previous responses that all said "no answer could be given".
This time, the game system responded very "quickly"—
[Given the existence of player [Gu Xinghe], this request is approved.]
The following content provides background information for this game instance.
The Devil's Sea: A mysterious sea area that has caused countless shipwrecks.
[A chilling, intoxicating song; bizarrely shaped sea creatures; an empty ghost ship...]
Various legends about this sea area circulate around the world.
However, on the night three days ago when the stars were in their proper positions, an island suddenly emerged from the depths of this sea area.
Rumor has it that this suddenly appearing island holds the treasure left behind by the lost kingdom of Atlantis.
At this point, bounty hunters, treasure hunters, and historians all sprang into action.
In an instant, the Devil's Sea was thrown into turmoil, becoming the focus of attention for all those with ulterior motives.
Welcome to the game instance – Deep Sea Secrets
After seeing the background information for this instance.
Gu Xinghe, however, was confirming the correctness of his previous guess that the world would become more "active" after the day the stars returned to their positions.
However, after obtaining this background information, Gu Xinghe discovered that the system did not continue to issue tasks as usual.
So, at this point, he could only ask again.
What are the quests in this game instance?
[Player [Gu Xinghe] entered this instance as a non-player character and does not need to complete any quests.]
The game system's current response is clearly telling Gu Xinghe—
Because he has now entered this instance as an "intruder".
So he doesn't actually need to participate in this instance or complete the corresponding tasks.
You can simply wait for the instance to end and then be teleported away again.
"I'm just looking, I won't actually do it."
However, faced with the system's "advice," Gu Xinghe uttered words that sounded like something out of a "scumbag's quote."
Unlike before, Gu Xinghe no longer had a specific token to enter the instance.
For example, the previous [Cat Cafe] and [City Courtyard] instances, etc.
Right now, he's more like someone who accidentally stumbled into this instance.
I found this place quite interesting, so I said I wanted to stay and play around.
And now, the meaning the game system wants to convey is quite clear—
Why do you still want to get involved when you could just stay put until the dungeon ends?
It's like a worried old mother looking at a child who's particularly unsettling.
But at Gu Xinghe's repeated request.
Although the system did not respond again, it directly expressed its agreement through "action"—
Main Quest: Follow the Ocean Oasis to the Sacrifice Island
[Quest Completion Reward: Dark Blue Badge]
Side Quest 1: Investigate the Secrets of the New Island Emerging in the Devil's Sea
[Reward for completing the mission: ???]
Side Quest 2: Find the treasure buried on the new island that has emerged in the Devil's Sea.
[Reward for completing the mission: ???]
Side Quest 3: Uncover the Truth Behind the Lost Atlantis
[Reward for completing the mission: ???]
[Note: In this instance, both the main quest and side quests for player [Gu Xinghe] are optional and not mandatory.]
Gu Xinghe seemed to be deep in thought about the tasks that the player was required to complete in this mission.
Indeed, if he doesn't intend to complete the mission.
He could have stayed on the ship indefinitely, or chosen to teleport away as soon as he arrived at the sacrificial island.
After all, it seems that most of the side quests in the dungeon can only be completed after leaving the ship.
The Oasis of the Seas is a cruise ship that focuses on tourism and sightseeing.
If tourists aren't interested in the stops along the way, they do choose to stay on the ship the whole time.
In other words, as long as Gu Xinghe doesn't disembark, he's likely to be quite safe.
Moreover, the notes in this mission are different from those in Gu Xinghe's previous missions.
Perhaps it's because he's a "random" player who insisted on staying in this instance.
Therefore, the system has made his main quests and side quests in this instance non-mandatory and optional.
This means that in this instance, including the main quest, none of the tasks are mandatory for him to complete.
However, if he chooses to complete the task, the game system will also give him a reward for completing the task.
Now, after understanding the background and quests of the game instance as before.
Gu Xinghe also gained a better understanding of his current situation.
Perhaps when he was in a coma, the sea area he was in was not the Devil's Sea mentioned by the system.
Therefore, at that time, Gu Xinghe did not encounter the existence that was rumored.
On the contrary, most of the marine life at that time chose to go around him.
Now, having gained a better understanding of my current situation...
Gu Xinghe did develop a desire to explore the ship he was currently on.
Even before boarding the ship, Gu Xinghe sensed that it was a giant vessel.
So now, having changed into a new set of clothes, Gu Xinghe decided to leave his room and take a closer look at the Ocean Oasis.
The word "oasis" originally refers to a green space in the desert that has water and vegetation.
However, in the course of language development, it gradually acquired extended meanings—
A kind of beautiful symbol that exists in certain difficult and arduous situations.
And the name of the cruise ship that Gu Xinghe is currently on—Oasis of the Seas—is derived from this.
Sailing is not as exciting or thrilling as most people imagine.
While in a sense, the above statement does not seem to be wrong.
However, for the vast majority of people, sailing is definitely dangerous.
It is precisely because of the danger that positive evaluations such as "exciting" and "thrilling" are generated.
But just like a giant unafraid of storms, the Oasis of the Seas has stood firm amidst all the storms and giant waves.
This is an absolutely safe place for sailing, the only place where one can land on the vast, drifting ocean.
Therefore, in the face of this unknown danger that may occur.
The Oasis of the Seas became a source of spiritual comfort for its crew.
At this moment, Gu Xinghe stepped out of his guest room, deciding to take a closer look at this oasis in the ocean.
