Chapter 9: Survival Day 9 I don’t care about anyone else.
Survival Day 9:
Doflamingo dreamed of the most unbearable past that he wanted to erase the most.
That was when his foolish father gave up his identity as a Celestial Dragon and brought his entire family away from Marijoa to an ordinary place. However, after their identity as Celestial Dragons was exposed, the civilians took up arms and revenged them with hatred... They were tied up and hung on the wall, with a group of untouchables holding torches below, trying to burn them to death. Fear, confusion, and anger intertwined, and ultimately centered on endless hatred.
And this hatred still burns to this day.
Even though that past is now very far away, he still dreams from time to time.
He heard Wendy's voice and looked over. The emotions on his face gradually subsided and he slowly returned to calm. He said in a low voice, "What's wrong, Wendy?"
His voice was colder than usual, and even had a certain scrutiny in it.
Wendy, however, didn't get the point. She simply sighed, "Dover definitely takes off his sunglasses when he sleeps." After wandering around for a bit and failing to find the shadow creature, she trotted over at her own steady pace, opened her eyes wide, and asked, "Are you having a nightmare because Charlie is disturbing you?"
Doflamingo was stunned: "...Charlie?"
"Yeah, Charlie will attack you in the dark." Wendy put the lantern aside. "So you can't stay in the dark."
This is the background story of Don't Starve. Wendy saw the PV when she was in the game's map reading stage. The reason Don't Starve characters can't fall into darkness is because in the dark, they will be attacked by invisible attacks - attacks from Charlie.
Basically, if you grab it a few more times, you will be gone.
Wendy even checked to see if there were any nearby shadow creatures... but it seemed they only appeared when her sanity was too low. While fighting this could drop Nightmare Fuel, it was too easy to die in the process. She wanted to keep a survival record to see if she could get a gift pack, so she decided not to try it for now. She wanted a new skin more than something she had no use for.
Doflamingo sorted out some information from the other party's illogical words - probably from a fairy tale book that the other party had read before, and this Charlie was the monster in the rumor that would attack people in the dark.
The other party didn't dwell on the nightmare and thought that the nightmare was caused by "Charlie". Doflamingo didn't intend to clarify, but asked: "So this is why you always carry a lamp?"
Wendy said as a matter of course, "Of course, Charlie would attack you in the dark."
In this regard, Wendy really is like an innocent child.
After realizing this, the murderous intent that had originally emanated from Doflamingo vanished without a trace. His expression softened, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a low laugh escaped his throat. He raised his hand and beckoned the other party to come closer. He reached out and gently stroked the other party's beautiful, fluffy golden hair, and replied, "Okay, I understand."
Unlike the dragon, Wendy's second companion always liked to stroke her hair, and she was used to it. After all, different companions often had different habits. According to the promotional material for Don't Starve, her future companions might not be human, and if they teamed up, she would accommodate and cooperate with them.
"Dover, if you want to have a good sleep, you should get a tent." Wendy said, looked at her package, found that she was missing some materials, said "Wait a minute", and ran away in a hurry holding the lantern.
Not long after, she ran back and quickly placed a large tent in the empty space in the middle of Doflamingo's room.
Doflamingo looked at the extremely simple green tent and fell into silence.
...What is this? What's the point of putting it in your room? Who would be so smart as to set up a tent in their room?
"A tent is perfect for sleeping at night," Wendy said, with a proud look that said, "Don't thank me too much." She happily walked away holding the lantern, and lovingly instructed her companion, "I'm going back now. If you blow up the tent, Dover, just call me to make it. The materials are very simple."
...It's really simple. After all, it looks like just a few branches tied with a piece of cloth. The materials are just branches, cloth, and rope, right? It's also the simplest tent design!
Doflamingo felt a little speechless, but as long as it didn't touch upon his own principles, he was quite tolerant of his subordinates, not to mention Wendy, who was a little special.
Watching Wendy appear in a hurry and run away in a hurry, Doflamingo's originally fluctuating emotions now became quite calm.
He looked at the simple tent that took up a lot of space in the middle of the house and was about to tear it down directly, but when his hand touched the tent, he paused.
He thought of the strange props with special properties Wendy had made, and the small amount of pride she had shown him when she left...
"...Never mind, let's take a look." Doflamingo calmed himself down, raised his hand to lift a corner of the tent, and walked in...
When Doflamingo regained consciousness, he was already outside the tent. Startled, he glanced at the clock and saw that four hours had passed.
And his physical condition...his spirit was better than ever. He himself could feel that the fatigue and anxiety brought by the nightmare had been swept away, replaced by an intense feeling of hunger.
He looked at the tent, his expression somewhat ambiguous. Was it a tent that could quickly restore one's energy? Using food in exchange for recovery?
Wendy is really good at making some weird but useful things...
Doflamingo called Wendy over and asked the important question first: "Will I lose consciousness after entering the tent?"
"No, I just fall asleep as soon as I enter. But if there's any noise around me, I'll wake up immediately, so I have to make sure it's quiet around me so I can rest well."
Doflamingo was relieved now. He nodded in satisfaction and asked, "Can that tent you made be mass-produced?"
Being able to make such useful recovery items from such simple things is definitely a good business.
"You can do more, but this one can't be moved. I'm the only one who can put it there." Wendy frowned as she spoke, thinking the other party wanted her to do it for someone else. She righteously refused in advance, "I won't do more! I only did it for you because you had a nightmare. I don't care about others."
She was still holding a grudge against other cadres for reporting her for taking things.
Doflamingo had guessed there would be some limitations, and the answer wasn't surprising. As for letting Wendy go out and build tents for others, that was out of the question. Wendy's value was far greater than money, and he couldn't let anyone know about her special nature.
He had originally wanted to get some for his officers, but Wendy's subsequent words also made Doflamingo feel much better. He changed his mind and said, "In that case, then forget it."
Anyway, this is just a prop that can quickly restore energy and ensure sleep, and other people don't need it that much. Besides, the food made by Wendy can restore status faster and more effectively, so these are enough.
Wendy wasn't shy about sharing the food she made. After all, in this game, if you don't have a dedicated chef, cooking is essential, and so is stockpiling. If you make too much, even if you keep it in the refrigerator, it will gradually lose its freshness. If it goes bad, it's inedible, so it's better to give it to others.
She can eat food made by others, but only the food she makes herself has such a strong recovery effect, and other food can only increase satiety but cannot restore sanity or health.
Because of her ability to provide these foods and some magical props, Wendy held a high position in the Donquixote family, becoming a default cadre. Due to Doflamingo's favoritism, her status was even higher than that of the four cadres.
Of the four leaders, Pica, the Spade, has the highest affinity with Wendy. Because Wendy doesn't laugh at his high-pitched voice, which doesn't fit his size, she ignores everyone else equally.
Diamante in the diamond position follows Doflamingo's orders. Although he thinks Wendy is spoiled too much, it is Doflamingo's order, so he will say something to object.
Torrepol in the club position had the worst relationship with Wendy. Everyone agreed that Torrepol looked too slovenly, which was why the girl disliked him.
As for Heart Vergo... Vergo is very loyal to the Donquixote family and treats his companions as family. Doflamingo once said that if he hadn't occupied the position of Heart, Wendy might have been the Heart. Because of this, he also secretly regarded Wendy as his successor and treated her very well.
Just like when Wendy asked for walrus ivory, even though he mistakenly thought that Wendy was going to beat Torrepol up, he remained silent and did not complain, but just brought back some sea king teeth.
Wendy picked and chose among them and found a system-approved walrus ivory substitute. She happily rubbed a golden walking cane in her hand and her walking speed suddenly increased a lot.
[Walking Cane] - A great helper to increase your speed while exploring! Get it and increase your speed by 25%!
Although the current walking stick doesn't look very good...but wait until the skin lottery function is opened! The skins of the walking stick are all very beautiful!
The prerequisite for the skin lottery is to survive for 1,000 days...which is still a long time away.
After Wendy got the walking stick, she started running around the boat showing off.
This behavior also made Virgo understand why she had been looking for walrus ivory, and he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at the walrus picture Wendy gave him, which looked very similar to Torrebol, and thought she was unhappy with Torrebol and hinted at him to beat him up...
Torrepol was used to carrying a walking stick, and he felt a little jealous when he saw Wendy's walking stick which obviously had a bonus effect. However, he was rejected when he wanted one.
Wendy actually wanted to give one to her friend Doflamingo, but she still remembered that Doflamingo didn't seem to like the tent she gave him last time. Maybe he was a person who cared more about appearances.
Just like his coat is also fluffy pink feathers.
After thinking for a moment, Wendy decided to wait until the skin store opened before giving him one.
Wendy was generally satisfied with the progress of her second partner. After all, the logistics were in place, the resources were plentiful, and the map could be expanded. Aside from Doflamingo forbidding her from farming, everything else was fine.
The Don Quixote family continued to grow and recruit new members. No matter how many people came, Wendy was always the one who received special treatment.
Doflamingo is also planning his own expansion plan and wants Vergo to secretly carry out a special mission... As for the position of the heart after Vergo leaves, it is natural that Wendy will take it.
But plans cannot keep up with changes, because just after he made this decision, a person who was a stranger to others but very familiar to Doflamingo came - his younger brother, Don Quixote Rosinante.
