Chapter 44: On the first day of building a home, we can only become a family! ...
First day of building a home:
When Hawkeye said "half and half", he really meant half and half.
He divided the castle and the island into areas, asked Wendy carefully which area she wanted, and said that the kitchen was shared.
Wendy blinked, thought for a moment, and replied with a catch-all: "Anything is fine."
She really was fine with it. She only needed the land, and she would rebuild the rest. This place was big enough for her to build a home.
Seeing the other person's good temper and easy to talk to, Hawkeye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he were a difficult person, he would also be troubled.
Since Wendy answered like that, Hawkeye no longer refused and decided the area.
Wendy had no objections. But before that...
"Those monkeys stole my things, you have to give them back to me." Wendy thought for a moment and added, "You can take the rest, but Abigail must be returned to me."
Wendy felt that she was still reasonable. The others that Hawkeye picked up could be his, but her sister's was her exclusive weapon, so she had to return it to her!
Hawkeye understood where the baboons' belongings came from... but he had no intention of keeping them for himself. He readily returned the items to her, even correcting her, "They're baboons."
Every time Wendy received Abigail's flower, tears welled up in her eyes. She held it in her palm with a look of cherishment and summoned Abigail: "Abigail, I need you..."
A white ghost appeared in the air, startling even the eagle-eyed man standing by.
"I'll go clean up the monkeys around here!" Wendy's expression suddenly changed from gentle to fierce, and she ran out aggressively with a spear in her hand.
"...It's a baboon." Hawkeye corrected again, looked at the other party rushing out, hesitated for a moment, and still took a step forward to take a look.
He had fought with those baboons before and knew their fighting power... He didn't think that a little girl could handle it.
But when he walked out, the idea disappeared - because Abigail was killing people over there.
Wendy, stabbing a baboon with a spear, was hit twice by a baboon. She sheathed her spear, took out her walking stick, and began to maneuver around to avoid the baboons. Abigail's single-handed attack was all that mattered. Seeing they couldn't defeat her, the baboons howled and scattered. Wendy, still chasing with her walking stick, suddenly disappeared into the woods.
Hawkeye: “…”
Then, it seemed that I could roughly understand why she was the only one who survived in this kingdom.
Wendy went to kill the baboons with the intention of clearing the area, but unfortunately the baboons were faster than her, and Abigail's range of movement was limited to her position. In the end, she could only regretfully pick up the baboon hair, bananas, and meat on the ground... as well as the [Baboon's Curse] in her backpack.
This is a unique mechanism of Don't Starve. Killing a monkey will cause a curse to occupy a space in the package column, causing trouble for the player.
Looks like baboons have some too... Monkey-type creatures are troublesome!
Wendy's temper came and went quickly, but it was mainly because the curse calmed her down.
After realizing that she could not catch up with the baboons and that it would be a bit of a loss to kill them, Wendy did not continue to waste time. Instead, she looked at the map and returned home in a straight line.
When she saw Hawkeye, she was about to say hello, but when she saw Abigail with sharp eyes floating towards Hawkeye, she quickly took out the Flower of Abigail to comfort her and adjusted it to a non-attack mode.
Seeing Abigail's eyes return to their innocent and adorable state, Wendy secretly breathed a sigh of relief—she had almost chased away her rare roommate...
However, in this way, a very serious problem appeared before me...
"Mihawk Mihawk, are you a devil fruit user?" Wendy ran to Hawkeye and asked.
Hawkeye glanced at Abigail floating beside her and realized - this was probably the other party's devil fruit ability?
"I'm not." Hawkeye replied simply.
Wendy suddenly felt very disappointed - how could they be friends if things were like this? It seemed like their relationship couldn't last!
Hawkeye didn't feel anything special about the other person's changing face, and thought that the other person had been alone on the island for too long, so he wanted to find someone as special as himself.
He is not the type who likes to interfere with other people's lifestyles and decisions. Since they have already agreed to share half with each other, it is not for him to comment on what Wendy does next.
Seeing that Wendy would not be hurt by the baboons, he turned around and returned to his own half of the territory and began to tidy up and build his own home.
Wendy was also strolling around the castle.
The castle left behind in this abandoned kingdom was huge, and the half that Wendy got was enough for her to build several homes.
She chose her own room among the empty ones and began to tinker with it - first she put up the wooden sign, then she ran to move all the things from Monk's house.
This trip alone wasted most of the day - because there were so many things and she couldn't move them all at once.
This is also a limitation of the game. She can only move the items in her backpack, and can only hold one item in her hand. More items cannot be transported at the same time.
Although people have two hands, they can only hold one thing in one hand.
After all the moving was completed, Wendy looked at the letter to Garp on the table. After thinking for a while, she opened it and wrote down her destination on it. She also thanked Garp for recommending her a place to build her home.
After finishing all this, she teleported back quickly and happily got the things she needed in her room.
First, I built Abigail's urn, then set up the tent that restored the three-dimensional values. Then, I used the cleaning broom to change the tent into a nice-looking skin.
The overall tone of the leaf tent's skin is green. The tent is made up of large green leaves, with vines wrapped around them and small white flowers as embellishments, which is very beautiful.
Then, she went to the kitchen, looked at the space, set up four pots first, and then placed a refrigerator in the middle - because this arrangement ensures that she can cook directly with the refrigerator open.
Thinking that she would have a new friend living with her this time, she specially built two more refrigerators - one for excess inventory and the other for the final finished products.
"Hmm... now we're out of gear stock... Was it really a waste to equip the ship with a refrigerator? I should go dismantle the previous refrigerator." Wendy counted her inventory and frowned slightly.
The construction of a refrigerator requires 2 gold blocks, 1 gear, and 1 stone brick. Stone bricks only need to be synthesized with stones. Gold blocks can be smashed out and she had obtained a lot of them from the Celestial Dragons before, but gears need to be picked up during the early stages of development. After all, there are no clockwork monsters in this world... Her early gears were still found in the garbage dump.
After finishing all this, Wendy finally breathed a sigh of relief—I was so tired! Finally, everything was done!
At the same time, near the Kingdom of Goa, a navy ship docked nearby.
"Really, how could that white devil still stay here! He must have run away, hahahaha!" Cap said loudly over there, but because his acting skills were not good enough, his expression and voice seemed a little weak.
Aokiji glanced at him and said nothing.
Whenever there is anything involving the Celestial Dragons, a general must be dispatched... This time he is the unlucky guy who was sent over because he happened to be free.
Originally, he just had some vague doubts, but as the people from the Revolutionary Army showed up, his doubts had turned... But looking at Garp's condition, his doubts came back a little.
"By the way...this is also your hometown, Vice Admiral Garp, right?" Aokiji asked.
"Yeah... I haven't been back for a long time. You guys stay here and I'll go home first." Garp waved his hand and strode ahead, "You don't have to follow me! Don't scare my children!"
Garp hurried home and saw the letter Wendy had left. He took it and opened it, secretly relieved. "Thank goodness, thank goodness, at least they knew how to run..." But he hadn't expected Wendy to take the three children with Long... No way! Could Wendy have been able to contact Long all along?! It seemed like it had been like this forever... What secrets did these two have?
Garp, who had no idea that the secret was that his rebellious eldest son could use the naval base as his own backyard and move freely, pondered for a long time but could not come up with anything. He could only put the letter away, looked at the almost empty house, sighed, and leisurely returned to the naval ship.
This time, he seemed much calmer.
Aokiji greeted Garp after he returned: "Hey, Vice Admiral Garp, how's things at home?"
"That's good. The kids are out playing." Cap waved his hand. "Let's get on with the investigation here!"
Aokiji nodded in agreement, and after waiting for the navy to set up camp, he stood behind Garp and suddenly asked, "Is Wendy related to that ghost?"
Garp almost missed a step and fell. After he regained his balance, he turned to look at Aokiji, who was laughing over there: "What are you talking about, hahaha! How could it be possible when Wendy is so well behaved! Wait a minute, kid, are you targeting Wendy because you disliked her before?"
"How is that possible? I still like her very much." Aokiji said in a lazy tone, "That's why I really hope that she really has nothing to do with this matter..."
"..." Garp glanced at him and said nothing.
When I get back... tell Wendy to stay away from Aokiji next time she sees him.
***
Wendy didn't know that she was under suspicion at this time.
But even if they found out, she probably wouldn't care. She didn't even try to hide it. If Long hadn't explained the stakes to her, and she wanted to give this little friend some face, she wouldn't care at all - at most, she could kill as many as she wanted. After all, Abigail was very strong, and she could be resurrected at will!
It doesn't matter if she can't kill them, she can still burn them! If she can't kill the NPC, she can burn their houses to ashes! If the Celestial Dragons are too much trouble, she can burn down Mary Geoise!
After successfully building her home, Wendy took her walking stick and went to explore the island. Although she had already explored it when she was a ghost, it was not shown on the map, so she had to walk around it herself.
She also encountered baboons on the way, but this time they howled and ran away when they saw her, clearly hiding. They didn't look like those annoying monkeys in the game that would swarm around and steal things, but more like those annoying turkeys that stole berries.
It seems that the monkeys in the holographic game are also very intelligent and know what not to mess with... - Wendy sighed.
But the curse in her backpack is quite troublesome... In the previous game, you had to find the Monkey King and give him bananas to remove the curse... Here is a baboon, do I have to find the Baboon King and give him bananas?
After the round, her anger subsided because Abigail was back in her hands and the baboons were afraid of her again.
Go back and find the Baboon King and throw a banana to remove the curse! Her inventory is still very valuable!
But she still had a faint regret - her new friend Mihawk was not a devil fruit user.
Although they were now partners who shared a piece of land, she felt it wasn't safe enough to integrate this relationship into the system. Only after integration could many functions be unlocked. Using the Telltale Heart to revive was a piece of cake. She could also see her partner's location within a short distance, display their location on a map, and use teleportation signs together...
It seems such a pity now... Never mind, there will always be new friends who have eaten devil fruits in the future!
At worst, she'd find a way to bring Luo over! Luo, given his personality, just doesn't seem to want to stay home... That's fine! That's when he became her second map exploration partner!
Wendy was thinking over there, and strolled back to the castle, where she saw Hawkeye.
The man took off his black top hat and changed out of his troublesome medieval-style outfit. He put on casual clothes that made it easy to move around in and wore a straw hat. He was digging the land with a hoe in his hand.
Seeing Wendy looking at him, Hawkeye just nodded slightly as a greeting.
Wendy had just stood there blankly, but when she realized what was happening, her eyes lit up and she trotted over to him, her tone filled with uncontrollable excitement: "Mihawk, are you farming?"
Hawkeye nodded slightly, assuming that the other party, as a former royal, disapproved of his behavior. He explained, "This island isn't very convenient to enter or exit, but it's suitable for farming. If you want to live here long-term, self-sufficiency is more appropriate."
"Yeah! I thought so too!" Wendy replied happily.
Hawkeye also sensed her emotions, and his impression of her changed a little - he originally thought she was a pampered royal princess or something like that... but now it seems that she doesn't have a bad temper and is quite adaptable.
Wendy had no idea that in the other person's heart, she was already the island's fallen princess. She was thrilled—finally, someone was actually planning to farm properly! Great! Could this be the family-building companion the system had given her? So thoughtful!
If you are not a Devil Fruit user, you can't directly join the team of friends... and it seems impossible for Mihawk to be adopted by her... In this case, there is only one way!
Wendy flipped through the list of mods that hadn't been downloaded, then solemnly made an invitation: "Mihawk, will you marry me?"
Since we can't just become friends, we can only become a family! There just happens to be a marriage mod!
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Wendy's proposal is actually like giving a (crossed out) heart-shaped stone (crossed out) a heart. Just say it if you can. [dog head]
Just like if Shanks recruited her, she would directly propose marriage if she felt the temptation was big enough [dog head]
If the marriage mod allows multiple marriages, she can even propose to a bunch of people and pick strong ones, and all the four emperors will be proposed to, becoming a living legend on the Grand Line [rookie]
Yes, this is the plot that will appear in the IF line later [sunglasses]
