“Xiao Yuan?”

“Yes, Master.”

“Tell me about the usage and functions of the Resource Satellite.”

“Yes, Master. The Resource Satellite transmits a pulse signal to the ground. The intensity and waveform of the pulse signal reflected back to the satellite can be then used to analyze the structure of the ground. Master only needs to set up a satellite launch center later on and use it.”

After Su Chen heard this, he tried his best to understand this domain that he had no prior contact with at all.

“In other words, after launching, I’ll be able to know about the undeveloped or hidden areas and resources through signal and data analysis? But first, I need to build a satellite launch center?”

“Yes, Master.”

Su Chen sorted out the series of messages he had received in his mind and calmed himself down. Then, he prepared to head toward the treasure chest in the south.

“Master, do you need Xiao Yuan to open up the navigation pane for you?”

After Su Chen nodded, the large screen that was originally hanging in the air became a small window that was abbreviated on his phone screen. It also indicated the specific direction he needed to go to.

Following the navigation, Su Chen soon arrived at the marked point. However, there was nothing around him except for trees.

“Xiao Yuan? Is there a mistake in this map?”

“Master, the navigation’s absolutely accurate.”

Su Chen looked at the AI figurine in front of him. Other than believing in the only artificial intelligence in front of him, he did not know what else to do. Therefore, he could only start searching around.

After searching for a long time, it was soon evening. The sky gradually became dark, and the sun was about to disappear from the coastline.

Su Chen began to panic. If he waited until the sky was completely dark, it would undoubtedly be very unsafe for a bare-handed person like him to be on a dark and deserted island. He could no longer search aimlessly. The sun was about to set and he had to hurry.

If the treasure chest was in this area and there was no one around, could it be on a tree?

Su Chen immediately rejected his absurd idea. Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, he heard a sharp bird call. As the sound was too sharp, he felt that it was very dangerous. He immediately stood up. He looked around to find the source of the bird call.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and this ominous feeling became stronger. However, he did not dare to act rashly. Suddenly, there was a commotion above his head. Su Chen looked up, he saw a bird-like creature with an exceptionally large body perched on the tree branch above him and looking at him.

This was definitely not a friendly look. Su Chen slowly moved his legs to retreat, but he had only taken a few steps back when the creature seemed to sense that he was about to escape and flapped its wings.

Su Chen saw this and stretched his legs. He did not think about anything else and started to run forward without a direction. As he ran, he crazily tapped on his phone screen. “Xiao Yuan! What’s the situation now?”

The AI figurine appeared again and smiled. “Master, this is a creature called the Caries bird. It’s a carnivorous creature.”

“What?! Carnivorous creature? It’s coming after me…”

“Yes, Master. It’s hunting you.”

Looking at the AI figurine who was smiling and saying such dangerous words, Su Chen’s heart was filled with despair again.

“Xiao Yuan, immediately analyze the details of this creature.”

“Yes, Master. Caries is a type of carnivorous bird. Its claws are extremely sharp and are also its weapon. It has a fierce personality and isn’t easy to tame. It also has low vision.”

“Low vision? That means it can’t see me clearly at night, right?”

“Master, the target’s aim will decrease. Xiao Yuan can’t give you an accurate answer to the specific situation.”

Su Chen could only take a gamble now. This sudden situation made him hope that night would come quickly.

As his brain was thinking, Su Chen’s running speed unintentionally decreased. Soon, that sharp scream was getting closer and closer to him. When he looked back, it was actually extremely close to him. The fear of death made Su Chen’s scalp go numb.

“Xiao Yuan, if one dies in the game, what about in real life?”

“Master, then your brain stem in real life will also enter a state of death.”

“Brain stem death?! Isn’t that just me dying?!”

Su Chen gritted his teeth again and ran with all the strength in his body. However, his legs had begun to become weak due to the long struggle. The Caries bird was already behind him, constantly trying to grab Su Chen with its claws.

Just as its claws scratched a hole in the back of Su Chen’s clothes…

Dong!

Su Chen suddenly felt the world spin. His vision turned black, followed by the pain of his body falling apart.

He sat up, rubbed his head with his hands, and calmed himself down. It turned out that he had fallen into a pit dug by someone.

“Where did such a big pit come from on a deserted island!” Su Chen complained. His bad luck was so bad that even cold water would choke his teeth. However, after saying this, he suddenly remembered that this might not be a bad thing as he realized the Caries bird’s voice was gradually fading away.

At least now the danger was gone, but this hole was not shallow either. How was he going to get up there in the future?

Su Chen did not want to think about it anymore. The events that had happened over the whole day had overloaded his brain. Now, he just wanted to take a good rest in the pit and plan for tomorrow morning.

Just as he was thinking about it and trying his best to see the situation in the pit, he unexpectedly found a box in the corner. He slowly approached it. Fortunately, under the moonlight, he saw a shining black treasure chest.

“Is this the black iron treasure chest?”

At this time, the voice of the little AI suddenly rang as she said, “Yes, Master. Congratulations on obtaining the black iron treasure chest. Would you like to open the treasure chest, Master?”

Su Chen was shocked by this sudden voice and quickly replied, “Open it, open it.”

The treasure chest opened with a creak. Inside was a set of rock climbing tools, an ax, and a pistol.

This time, there were tools to get out of the pit as well as self-defense tools. The ax could be used to cut some wood in the forest tomorrow morning to make a simple wooden raft. Suddenly, all his problems were solved.

Su Chen checked the magazine of his pistol. There were only five bullets in it. It seemed that he had to use them sparingly, but it also made him feel very safe.

He packed his things in satisfaction and then found a corner. Su Chen looked at the sky from the entrance of the cave. Only the starry sky was the same as the one in his world. Su Chen secretly made up his mind. No matter what, he had to go back. There were all kinds of good things here, but he only had one thought, which was to go home.

Thinking of this, Su Chen’s heart that had been worried all this time slowly relaxed. Just like that, he fell into a deep sleep in the corner..
