Chapter 126: The Eleventh Day of Building a Home in the New World [And the One You Want to Marry...
Day 11 of building a home in the new world:
Hawkeye stared at Wendy, who was completely oblivious and even kindly repeated it before going over to count her things.
Hawkeye began to wonder if this guy did it on purpose.
He had clearly learned from his first mistake and therefore didn't let the other person finish, because if the other person finished speaking, then it would basically be impossible to change the situation... but now it seems that doing so also has risks.
For this reason, he could only repeat himself again and again. He was already very busy during this period and even if he could get married early, it would be impossible to get married in the middle of it... But he had to ask clearly next.
"You said that your mod can be loaded once every three years, right? It's been almost three years since we adopted Ace and the others, so we can load new mods now, right?" Hawkeye asked.
In fact, he still remembered that Wendy had said that a mod would be released every thousand days, which should have happened by now, but Wendy didn't mention it so he didn't ask any further questions... because Wendy was very busy at that time and it was impossible for her to mention this at that time.
I had originally thought of waiting a few days until Wendy's territory expansion was completely complete before bringing it up...
"Yeah, that's right." Wendy nodded, checking the current duration—it was indeed over 6,000 days, so it was time to load a new one...
"Wait a moment." She opened the mod loading interface and began to check it out. She was pleasantly surprised to find that the mod interface had been updated. She didn't know if it was because the scope of her current home had expanded or because her survival time was up, but many new mods had appeared in this update.
Wendy carefully checked it out, and then she actually found a mod in the updated version that she was curious about and wanted to try...
【Three-in-one mod】: A three-in-one mod that combines quick picking, upper limit stacking 99 and teleportation signs, giving you a super efficient gaming experience and saving a lot of mod space.
Note: This feature is only available to the player. Stacking 99 items and teleporting with a wooden sign are only for the player and cannot be used by others. Teleporting with a wooden sign consumes food and sanity based on the distance traveled. Once the player exceeds the maximum sanity limit, all food, half of their sanity, and health will be deducted. Please consume appropriate food quickly after teleporting to restore health.
Wendy's eyes lit up when she saw this description—this time the wooden sign teleportation function wouldn't be stuck at a certain distance! And it was a three-in-one mod, which saved space!
She couldn't wait to share it with Hawkeye: "I found a new three-in-one mod! It can actually combine fast picking and upper limit stacking 99 into a special saving mod position!"
"..." Hawkeye already had a bad feeling and asked, "So?"
"So I'm going to load this!" Wendy said happily, quickly adjusting her mod and excitedly running out to drive the Pluto back to her own Territory 1. There, she transplanted thatch and branches, and asked the local NPCs to help pick them up as needed. The rapid growth astounded the residents.
But there was nothing she could do about the farmland. The fields needed human care, so she didn't cultivate any of it. Besides, the fields on Kraikana Island were already very good. Usually, the crops collected were enough to feed the people on the boat. If she wanted to farm, she could just go back and do it.
This wasn't the first time Pluto had been suddenly activated, but Crocodile still cursed and asked, "What's wrong again!?"
Hawkeye, who still didn't know what he was being pulled out for, said blankly, "Don't ask me."
Wendy cheerfully replied, "I want to show Mihawk my newfound speed-picking ability!"
...Quick Picking? What's this new ability?
Crocodile was a little puzzled, and out of curiosity about what it was, he didn't say anything. Instead, he watched with Robin, who came over with a soothing tea and watched curiously, and Hawkeye, whose expression didn't seem to have changed for some reason but exuded a hint of hostility, as Wendy pulled them to show off her new ability - the ability to pick crops in one second.
Crocodile: “…”
Hawkeye wasn't surprised at all and just sighed.
Robin smiled and clapped over there: "That's amazing, Wendy!"
...What's so amazing about that?! What's the point of having this enhanced ability?! Is she just going to keep her head down and work the land while the Four Emperors fight?! Is she going to rely on sneaking up on the Four Emperors by dropping poop unexpectedly to win?! — Crocodile was furious.
However, this was not the first time such a situation had occurred. Crocodile already had experience and would not waste words on it. He snorted coldly and adjusted himself - after all, he was not Wendy Carter's subordinate. If she really failed, he could take Pluto away in the chaos.
As for Nico Robin... Crocodile glanced at her obscurely - he would definitely get the information about Pluto that Wendy Carter asked her to translate.
Even if he did, he might still have to deal with Hawkeye. Crocodile thought so, glanced at Hawkeye again, and sensed something was amiss. Hadn't this man always been incredibly indulgent and doting on Wendy Carter? Why did he seem so off today? Had Wendy Carter finally angered him?
After demonstrating her abilities, Wendy proudly drove the Pluto back to the shade of the Waterwood tree with the crops she had harvested. The Waterwood tree had grown a shade after being fertilized, but it could only cover one-third of the Pluto tree.
Maybe because the world is different and the scale is different, the growth of this water tree is not the same as Wendy's common sense - it needs more fertilizer, and it can't grow into a tree in three stages. It seems to take longer and will grow bigger.
Wendy herself paid it a brief attention and then let it go - for her, all she needed was for the shade tree to grow big enough to cover Pluto.
However, the other three people on the boat looked at the tree and had a vague premonition - perhaps its final form would be like the Chagos Archipelago, with roots spreading to form small land islands.
Of course, the age of the Alchiman mangroves in the Sabaody Archipelago is not comparable to the tree next to them that is only a few days old... But looking at Wendy's ability to make any crop mature quickly, maybe this tree can really grow on land in just a few years.
This made Robin a little worried - he hoped that Wendy could expand her staff to a sufficient scale in the next two years, otherwise, after a small shampoo land appeared, those who temporarily ignored Wendy because of the poverty of her current territory would be ready to make a move.
Wendy herself had no long-term concerns or immediate worries.
After she finished fertilizing the water wood, she happily ran to find Hawkeye: "How's it going, Mihawk? My quick picking efficiency has improved!"
"...Yeah." Hawkeye responded, and after a moment's silence, he looked back, making sure the other two people on the boat were far enough away that they couldn't hear him, before asking, "Then get married..."
"Oh, and this," Wendy said seriously. "I asked Robin. To obtain my ancient suit, I either need to unlock the ancient quest and find the underground ruins, or find the original text of ancient history. So I think the wedding might have to be postponed. I want to wear the ancient skin suit when I get married! That's the only one that's perfect for a wedding."
"...You are just informing me, not asking for my opinion, right?" Hawkeye asked after a long silence.
"Yeah." Wendy nodded honestly, her eyes widening. "Mihawk, are you unhappy?"
...How should I put it, this is the first time I've wanted to run away from home. — Hawkeye thought, feeling subtly like he'd been tricked into marriage in another way.
Specifically refers to being deceived into thinking they can get married.
"...There's no point in being happy or unhappy. I'm pretty much used to it anyway." Hawkeye replied, saying calmly, "Just do what you want to do first."
Wendy blinked, responded, and ran off to find Robin.
Robin was still translating over there. When he saw Wendy coming over with a serious expression on his face, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Hmm... I feel like I made Mihawk angry."
"Huh?" Robin was stunned for a moment, "Will Mr. Hawkeye still be angry with you?"
Wendy nodded: "Hmm... I don't know, but he doesn't seem very happy anyway."
Really? But it feels like Hawkeye is the doting person who, when Wendy tells him they're going to fight the other Four Emperors tomorrow, will just agree after a pause and then follow through without objection. —Robin wondered.
Wendy, on the other hand, relaxed her brow after thinking for a moment: "Forget it! If Mihawk is really unhappy, he will tell me. I don't care anymore!"
Robin: “…” Well, it’s not easy for Hawkeye to dote on her for so long.
***
Hawkeye didn't intend to say it, after all, it would feel distorted if he said it out loud.
However, the idea of running away from home was just a thought... After all, he knew very well that if he left at this time, the situation that Wendy had managed to stabilize would immediately collapse.
You have to know that the other two people on the boat, Crocodile has ulterior motives and will stab you in the back at any time if there is a suitable opportunity; Nico Robin herself is seeking Wendy's protection, and if Wendy can't do it, she will leave actively or passively regardless of whether she is willing or not.
The people in Wendy's territory are die-hard fans of Wendy and almost treat her like a god... but their average combat power is only 5, which is good enough. They can only serve as a way to get killed and add a sense of tragedy to the atmosphere.
As Hawkeye sat there drinking and thinking, the door to the room opened. Wendy poked her head out and came in when she saw that he was awake.
Hawkeye withdrew his thoughts, looked at her, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm here to marry you." Wendy said as if it was a matter of course.
"..." Even Hawkeye couldn't react for a moment and said hesitantly, "Didn't you say we should wait until you get your ancient clothes?"
"That's a wedding. I told you before that we can get married privately."
"...So you said you loaded a new mod?"
"The new mod includes wooden sign teleportation, so I cancelled the previous wooden sign teleportation mod. There is still space." Wendy said as she trotted over, but she was not heading towards Hawkeye, but towards the bed.
She climbed directly onto the bed, even making some space on the side. She patted the side and said expectantly, "Come up quickly! I want to try it soon!"
The prerequisite for the marriage mod is to [spend a night with the person you want to marry], so she waited until night to activate it!
...Try what? Try him? — Hawkeye was a little uncertain.
