Chapter 52: Exploration Day 5 (90,000 Nutrient Solution Plus) You and you...
Day 5 of exploration:
The outfit Wendy is wearing is the new skin set [Masquerade] that was just released today. The unlocking condition is to participate in the Masked Carnival.
After hearing Kokoro's recommendation, she immediately opened the system to check and found that the skin was unlocked.
Wendy's trip to Water Seven was incredibly rewarding. Not only did she unlock a blueprint and a fixed resource point (she even erected a teleport sign in Tom's workshop), she also unlocked a new skin.
As a result, the only skin sets left in her collection are [Piranha Plant], [Magazine], [Green], [To the Moon], and [Ancient].
Based on previous experience in unlocking skins...the unlocking conditions for these skin sets should be stated in the names.
She decided that when she felt she could unlock the skin, she would give it a try and try to collect the complete set as soon as possible!
I think you'll need to fight the Piranha Plant, and then you can collect Piranha Plant seeds and plant them on the boat for a steady harvest of leafy flesh. The green color seems to be a reward for exploring special landforms...
In ancient times, you should wait until you can explore underground ruins and find ancient technology before you can use it! As for magma, it should be related to dragon flies...
It’s just that the set of heading to the moon feels more difficult. After all, the Moon Island in this world seems so difficult to explore... It seems that this will be the most difficult set to collect.
Wendy thought about it, looked at the full wooden board in her backpack, and without any regret, she rubbed a wardrobe on the spot, and then put on the new skin set on the spot.
These wooden boards were all newly smashed here, because Tom runs a shipbuilding company, and there are many scrapped ships here, even forming a "junk ship island", and there are also special ship dismantling companies to deal with them. If Wendy just wants to smash old ships, there are a lot of them here.
Tom took her to kuku and smashed a lot of things. Because Wendy did such a good job, Tom wanted to give her money, but was rejected by Wendy who could not use the currency of this world.
Wendy said righteously, "I don't need money!"
Tom was a little anxious: "These are things that others don't want. There is a fee for processing them. Since you have done all this, of course I will give them to you..."
Wendy continued righteously, "Because I never have to spend money!"
Tom: “…”
At this moment, Tom, who never cared about or explored other people's pasts, couldn't help but become curious about Wendy's past. Had Wendy never paid anything since she was a child? Was she once a noble? But nobles seemed to have to pay too... or even higher? But then, Wendy's ghost sister...
Tom felt a little horrified at the thought and stopped himself from thinking any further.
Bingshan, who had been paying attention to this side, was also stunned when he heard this conversation, and fell into deep thought. However, he thought more deeply than his master - how could this identity be related to Hawkeye... After all, no matter how powerful Hawkeye was, he was still a pirate... Could he have eloped with Hawkeye? It seemed that this made sense...
Iceberg and Tom were both considerate and didn't ask too many questions. But Flam was different. Although he was full of emotion, he was carefree and asked directly: "Huh? So, Wendy, how do you usually buy things?"
Wendy said bluntly: "I'll just take it."
Fram was surprised: "Isn't that just robbing?!"
Wendy was upset: "Whatever I can take is mine!"
"That doesn't make sense..." Fram complained, "Wendy, you're not a noble, are you?"
Hearing this, Wendy tilted her head. She remembered what Hawkeye said when he first met her. After thinking for a moment, she nodded and said, "I think so."
Although in the original story of Don't Starve, the Carter family is just an ordinary wealthy family...but this noble family may be a world-complementing setting.
What royal family was Mihawk talking about? That name is a bit difficult to pronounce, but I can't remember it... Wendy frowned as she thought about it.
"Is it really true..." Fram ignored the "should" and looked at Wendy in surprise, sighing, "But Wendy, you have a really good personality. You don't have that annoying aristocratic vibe at all... Then why are you here? Did you run away from home? Don't your family care?"
Iceberg frowned and shouted in a disapproving tone: "Fram!"
Wendy blinked. "No, I just came here to try and find a way to resurrect my sister Abigail... My only relative in this world is probably my uncle Maxwell. He used to be a king, but I don't know if I can see him again in this world."
In the setting, Maxwell Carter is Wendy's uncle and the younger brother of her father. He obtained the Tome of Shadows and became a master of dark magic, sitting on the Nightmare Throne... But later, he became too obsessed with power and lost control. He and his assistant Charlie were pulled into the Eternal Realm. Charlie turned evil, and he was imprisoned on the Nightmare Throne, unable to move...
In the standalone version of "Don't Starve", there is a main storyline to rescue Maxwell, but the online version has never had this part online... Wendy doesn't know whether this holographic version of One Piece World Limited will be different. After all, she is the only player in this world, and she doesn't know whether Maxwell will appear as an NPC.
In fact, she really wanted to try it. After all, it was like rescuing her relatives. And the final animation was that the player rescued Maxwell but was caught by Shadow and sat on the Nightmare Throne...
If this scene were shown as a hologram, it would be really cool! — Wendy thought.
When Wendy was imagining the future gameplay and whether it would be possible to play the main storyline, others who heard her words had different opinions.
Fram burst into tears again: "Wendy—you are actually... such a strong girl! It's okay! You don't have to pay for things you get from us next time! Mr. Tom can deduct it from my salary!"
Tom was helpless: "Wendy helped me so much, she didn't need to pay for the things she came to get."
Bingshan: “…” His junior fellow apprentice is really an idiot!
But he really didn't expect that Wendy's identity was like this... Her uncle was a king, so she should also be a princess?
He's just the former king... so is the country in trouble? But Wendy ran away for her sister... could it be that her uncle took her father's throne? If that's the case, then she and Hawkeye didn't elope...
Although he wasn't a gossiper by nature, he was genuinely curious and asked hesitantly, "Ms. Wendy, how did you and your spouse meet?"
Wendy: "Huh? Mihawk saved me! I was dying and dying, and I was only able to be resurrected after he came."
Iceberg: "I see..."
That's exactly what happened! Was she persecuted and then fled, only to be rescued by Hawkeye? It's a pretty good love story. —Iceberg subconsciously dismissed Wendy's "death" and "resurrection" as mere narrative exaggeration.
Wendy didn't know that he had imagined a lot. She had already changed her clothes. At Kokoro's suggestion, she also felt that she should show her new clothes to her friends - this was her usual pleasure, just like when she was in the Don Quixote family, every time she changed a new skin, she would find the Don Quixote brothers to be the first to show it.
The others naturally understood her feelings and smiled as they saw her off. Except for Fram, who was still crying.
"Stop crying! It's so embarrassing!" Bingshan looked at his overly emotional junior brother with some disgust, then looked at Tom and hesitantly expressed his guess about Wendy's identity.
While Iceberg was telling others his reasoning, Wendy was wandering around Water Seven, trying to find Hawkeye.
They had only agreed on a meeting place a week later, so it would be troublesome to find it in the middle... But fortunately, it was the Mask Carnival, and many people were dressed up and wearing masks, but Hawkeye didn't, so she finally found him and trotted over to call for help.
"Mihawk!" she exclaimed happily, then immediately started complaining, "This place is so big, it's hard to find you."
Hawkeye came back to his senses and looked at her: "It's not the agreed time yet... Did something happen?"
"Hmm? I just came to show you my new clothes!" Wendy turned around in front of him, showing off her new outfit and adjusting her butterfly mask. "How is it? Does it look good?"
"..." Hawkeye stared at her for a moment, then sighed imperceptibly, "It looks good... Did you go shopping for clothes before?"
"I didn't buy it, I carved it." Wendy began to speak incomprehensibly again, and then told her story. "I went to Tom to ask for more blueprints."
"Didn't I give you the ship's blueprints last time?"
"Well, this time it's from the Sea Train."
"Is that so... Did you learn that?"
"I've learned it! I've learned how to make a sea train!" Wendy vowed. "We can put one up at home when we get home!"
Although she still doesn’t know whether the railway tracks can be laid directly on the sea, she feels that the sea train is so cool, and she wants to build one at home!
Hawkeye: “……?”
Putting aside the question of whether it can actually be done...what are they trying to do with this? Are they turning their home into a tourist attraction?
There was no point in just saying it out loud, after all, this guy had made a decision that she wouldn't change if she didn't want to… Hawkeye decided to ignore this for the time being.
Wendy continued, "I think the Seven Water Capital is quite fun... but there are so many people here. I almost couldn't find you just now."
Hawkeye looked at her and said, "Because it's the holiday season now."
"But it doesn't matter. After we get married, I'll be able to know where you are the first time!" Wendy said confidently.
After they get married, as long as they're not too far away, she'll be able to see the other person's location on her mini-map! Finding someone will be much easier then!
Hawkeye realized that people sometimes get used to things. For example, when he heard something like this now, his reaction was much calmer than before, and he wouldn't fall into a long silence, not knowing how to respond.
"Stop saying weird things." Hawkeye commented, extending his hand towards the other person. "Since we've already met, let's act together."
-----------------------
Author's words: Wendy's life story (with everyone's combined imagination) is gradually being completed [dog head]
Wendy is not lying, she is telling the truth.
It wasn't even a marriage fraud. Hawkeye was the first one to be notified of the wedding date!
PS: While the online version has more gameplay, I personally prefer it. It's fun to play with friends (I recently finished the Celestial questline and am currently working on the Shadow Triad). But I also enjoy the standalone version's storyline... The standalone version includes the storyline of rescuing Old Mac, though after that, you're locked in the throne. I love that animation [dog head]. Old Mac is Wendy's uncle, and I like calling him "Uncle." It's just a habit, but I changed it because a reader pointed out a misunderstanding. I really hope the online version will update with more main storylines. Kore, why don't you move?
PPS: 90,000 nutrient solution bonus points reached! [Rose]
