The moment Chen Yang jumped into the sea, he suddenly received a notification from the micro-world, which surprised him greatly.
After entering the desert, he stopped paying attention to the development level of the micro-realm. He never expected that the development level would increase so dramatically because of their entry into the desert and the discovery of the ocean. Perhaps the wheat also played a role, but the rate of increase was somewhat beyond Chen Yang's expectations.
The task that was released this time was even more unexpected for Chen Yang.
"Congratulations! Your micro-world development level has reached 99% of two stars. We are now issuing an upgrade task. Please have a piece of land on Earth. Requirements: 1. No less than 1,000 square meters; 2. No human habitation within two kilometers; 3. A water source within one kilometer; 4. A vegetation coverage rate of over 80%."
This is the most demanding and unique task issued by the system.
When Chen Yang saw this task, he was immediately puzzled. Why would the system require him to own land in reality, and with so many requirements? It wasn't something he could just do by finding any piece of land.
This requirement of the micro-world can be difficult in some ways, and simple in others.
The difficulty lies in finding a suitable location, and Chen Yang cannot allow this land to be too far from him. If future missions in the Microverse are also related to this land, it would be too troublesome for him to travel between the two places.
If it were for housing, Chen Yang's current financial situation would make it impossible for him to buy a 1,000-square-meter plot of land.
If it's just a 1000-square-meter lawn, Chen Yang still has a way to solve it.
At most, he'll only sell one spot. He just doesn't want to sell, not that he absolutely refuses to sell any spots.
In fact, it would be very simple for the inhabitants of the micro-world to solve this problem, but Chen Yang would not simply ask someone to help him find a piece of land to give him.
If Yun Hu were to find some high-tech items as before, Chen Yang wouldn't mind; it would be mutually beneficial. However, asking someone to directly buy a piece of land would be a huge favor, and Chen Yang wouldn't make such a request, even if the other party didn't care.
He told the others about the task posted by the Micro World, and sure enough, Ding Qihan immediately patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, this is a piece of cake. This is the Micro World's upgrade task, right? I'm looking forward to seeing what changes will happen after the upgrade."
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Let Brother Yun and Brother Guo help us look for it. They have a lot of connections in Hangzhou. As for the money, I'll bring an extra large jade stone with me this time. Let's use the auction proceeds; it'll be a pool of money for everyone."
Ding Qihan thought for a moment, then didn't insist and said, "Isn't this mission in the Micro World a bit special? How is it connected to the real world?"
Chen Yang nodded, "I'm also a little confused. It feels like this is an arrangement by the micro-world."
"Is it possible that aliens behind you are trying to use you to invade the real world?" Ye Wu asked.
Everyone looked at him with disdain.
"They can erase memories, so they clearly have control over the real world. It wouldn't be difficult for them to control us directly, so there's no need for them to go to such lengths," Hou Yu said.
"What you said makes sense. So tell me, isn't it true that the connections between dimensions are becoming increasingly close, and that they can now connect to the real world?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "That's possible, but the micro-world is too systematic; there must be a reason for all of this."
They discussed it for a while, but still couldn't come to any conclusions; it was beyond their level of reasoning.
“I think Kogoro Tuli would be very interested. Let him study it,” Hou Yu said.
“Agreed, give him the task tomorrow,” Ye Wu was the first to speak.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yang suddenly raised a throwing knife and shot it at him, the knife grazing past his lower body.
"What the hell? Are you jealous of my size and trying to ruin my sex life for the rest of my life?"
Chen Yang shrugged and said, "The idea of murdering your lower body is good, but what I care about now is our happy dinner. Please pick up the fish under your feet. Our dinner is ready."
Ye Wu had actually already noticed the fish; he was just annoyed that Chen Yang had deliberately scared him.
“It’s so big, we can use the head to make soup and the body to grill,” Ding Qihan said with a smile.
“I suggest we make a still tomorrow. Distilling fresh water can also extract crude salt, which will make food more flavorful,” Weng Ji said. “A friend of mine has done research in this area. I asked him to send me a model of the original still, and we’ll make it tomorrow.”
"Okay." Chen Yang nodded.
He had just scanned the area and didn't see any potential sources of fresh water, so he decided to distill it.
Tomorrow, just have two people work on the still; the others can continue searching for resources.
Even if they found fresh water, this still could still extract coarse salt, which could then be boiled twice before being edible. In the desert, to lighten their load, they discarded all seasonings, keeping only the most essential ones.
When Chen Yang woke up in the real world the next day, he told everyone the important news of his discovery of the ocean.
"Wow, finally there's a real beach! It's a pity I can't go in yet, so frustrating," Li Sen replied.
"We haven't found an easy way to cross the desert yet, so everyone should stay away for now," Chen Yang said.
"We went through countless life-threatening situations to cross the desert and find the ocean; I think this could be made into a movie," Ye Wu said.
This time, unusually, no one refuted him, because he wasn't exaggerating. Although they hadn't escaped death by a hair's breadth, they had still faced the threat of death.
“If we can’t find a suitable route, we can set up one or two supply depots along the route we’ve already taken, and then we’ll be fine,” Chen Yang said.
Building a supply station in the desert is very troublesome, so let's find a suitable crossing route first.
Everyone is eagerly anticipating seeing the ocean in the microcosm.
The combination of sunshine and sand is incredibly alluring.
There is also a small sandy beach on the island in the middle of the lake, but calling that small sandy area a beach is just a comfort to everyone. When the real beach is discovered, the sandy area on the island in the middle of the lake instantly loses its status.
Afterwards, Chen Yang told everyone about the task posted by Weijie, and also asked Guo Zifeng and Yun Hu to help find a place.
"Chen Yang, put everything else aside, just give me this task, and I'll pay for it too. Don't rush to refuse, I have a request. You don't need to bring any jade, just bring me a cake of that Pu'er tea king's ripe tea, how about that? I'll definitely be the one who benefits."
Guo Zifeng quickly replied in the group chat.
After thinking about it, Chen Yang realized that the tea cake from that Pu'er tea king was many times more precious than ordinary thousand-year-old Pu'er tea. It would be no problem to auction it for several million, and it certainly wouldn't be taking advantage of Guo Zifeng.
Guo Zifeng can drink this tea in the Micro Realm and the inn, but it doesn't belong entirely to him.
He is a tea merchant who can maximize the value of the Pu'er tea king's tea cake.
“Okay, deal.” Chen Yang replied.
Yun Hu realized that typing was too slow and that he should have sent a voice message instead, missing a good opportunity.
On the contrary, Xing Tu, who loved tea the most, watched the battle with a smile. As long as he could drink tea, he was fine with it. Anyway, he could drink tea in the micro-world, so he didn't care.
