Chapter 39: Ruins Exploration, Preparation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liao Fan had to consider a few things.

First of all, the Ruins might not be as fruitful as he had hoped. 

He had to ensure the collection of some resources.

If the exploration in the Ruins ended up as a failure, the resources collected by the first villager would be his only harvest.

Secondly, the first villager did not have any fighting abilities. It would be pointless to bring him along. 

In fact, he might be a burden.

Therefore, it was better for him to stay back and collect resources.

Quantity did not equal strength.

Moreover, the tri-colored light platform could only cover a limited area.

These were the factors that helped Liao Fan make his decision. 

Time flew by.

Liao Fan had memorized all the marks on the map.

He put the map in the left pocket of his shirt.

Then, he put the compass and stone die in the right pocket. 

After that, he accessed the production table.

[ Wild boar skin *1 + parsnip *2 + wisteria *2 = Pig skin hemp clothing. It smells but at least it would protect you from the wind and rain. ]

Liao Fan made two of them.

He gifted them to his villagers.

After all, the villagers were his subordinates and he had to treat them well. 

Suddenly, Liao Fan felt insecure.

His right eyelid was twitching.

As the saying goes, ‘When your right eyelid twitches, it means that a disaster was bound to happen.’

Liao Fan was not very superstitious, but it still made him feel a little uneasy.

Perhaps he still had not considered all the dangers in the Ruins.

For example, there might be poisonous gas, terrifying monsters, harmful swamps, and even deadly cliffs.

Liao Fan had tried to think of every possibility.

He even came up with several backup plans.

However, an unforeseen accident could always happen.

Regardless, the second villager could withstand a lot of damage as a ‘Super Alloy Shield Soldier’. Most sharp objects could not even penetrate his stone shield.

Furthermore, Liao Fan had a cautious personality. If he encountered any danger, he would retreat immediately.

He had always considered everything thoroughly. 

This also applied to Meng Fei.

With those assumptions, things should be fine.

…

Outside, the wind blew. 

It was extremely cold.

Liao Fan stood up and went to close the window. 

There were many pitch-black silhouettes lurking around.

They were the monsters and could only move within the fog.

However, Liao Fan did not know if there were any monsters that could move outside of the fog.

Based on the information that he had gathered on the world channel, Liao Fan could guess a thing or two.

For instance, the cries of a woman that people had reportedly heard and the laughter that Liao Fan had personally experienced were all undoubtedly sounds only humans could make.

‘Is there a puppet master in the fog?’

Furthermore, there was the female corpse that Liao Fan had encountered.

He was almost certain that she had died from excessive shock, not from the attack of a wild beast.

This mystery was worth solving.

‘What caused her so much shock until she died?’

For now, Liao Fan put this question aside.

He continued to stare at the shadows in the fog.

Under the illumination of the fireplace, these black shadows appeared to be exceptionally clear.

They would also emit waves of terrifying sounds such as the roar of a beast.

The beastly roars reminded Liao Fan of the white beast egg in his inventory. 

He took it out and observed it carefully.

This white beast egg was the size of a duck egg.

According to the system’s description, this beast egg was rich in nutrients.

If he wanted, he could also hatch the egg, but it was unknown what would hatch out of it. 

Previously, Liao Fan was worried that he may lack food.

That was why he did not hatch the egg.

It was a different case now.

He had plenty of food.

So, if he wished to, he could hatch the white beast egg.

If the thing that hatched out from it was useless and would only take up supplies, Liao Fan could just release or eat it.

After thinking for a while, Liao Fan placed the white beast egg beside the fireplace.

It should be able to speed up the hatching process.
