Chapter 93 Earthquake

"Huh..."

A gentle exhale.

Gunie eased his somewhat oppressive heart.

The struggle between different forces in the supernatural world is not child's play.

It is a struggle of life and death, of iron and blood.

And the process will be cruel, cold, and bloody.

Former classmates who once studied together might become mortal enemies in the future.

If one does not want to face all this, then do not get involved.

Since Gunie had already gotten involved, some costs that must be borne were inevitable.

What Gunie could do was, in this already arrived era of great waves,

make himself stronger.

equip himself with more trump cards.

and have a greater say.

That way, at least he could become a decision-maker, with the power to choose.

Rather than, amid the waves, following others' orders to do things he did not want to do.

Since he had already been swept into the tide of the times,

he must stand at the crest of the wave and become the top trendsetter of this era.

And drown all those who dared to oppose him in the depths of the waves.

After finishing her coffee, Veya poured herself another cup, then held it and said softly,

"This time, we caught the people from Black Luo, and we also obtained quite a lot of important intelligence."

As she spoke, Veya lowered her voice.

"We have already found some clues about the Human-Faced Flower Church. From those clues, we learned that the Human-Faced Flower Queen, Meiusa, did not leave Sugg Ruins City. She is still here."

Gunie trembled slightly upon hearing this, and the coffee in his hand rippled faintly.

"Very good."

Gunie nodded lightly.

"We will launch a series of operations. As for the results, we can only know after the operations end. Of course, these are all top-secret news; do not leak them."

"Mm, I understand." Gunie nodded slightly.

"Such important news, Veya told me... She probably already knows that I have started large-scale experiments with Secret Pattern Potions!" Gunie thought to himself.

On the second day after Gunie conducted experiments with nine bottles of Secret Pattern Potion, he received a telegram, delivered personally by butler Frasier.

This telegram was sent by the high-level members of the Vanguard Group.

The letter stated that Gunie could freely apply for any of the many precious supernatural materials he needed.

At the same time, the top-tier mithril magic gold staff and mithril magic gold chainmail that Gunie needed would also be prepared to the best quality.

Since the high-level members of the Vanguard Group had said so, Gunie did not stand on ceremony with them.

He ordered a certain quantity of each good material.

After all, Gunie did not know which combination of materials would produce a Secret Pattern Potion suitable for humans.

After thinking for a while, Gunie spoke softly,

"This time, if you capture or kill the Human-Faced Flower King during your operation, I hope I can have contact with this Human-Faced Flower King."

"Oh?" Veya looked at Gunie, puzzled.

"I hope to touch this Human-Faced Flower King, and then I will remember the taste of its blood."

"If I encounter it in the future, I can identify it."

Gunie explained thus.

"That shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know if we can capture the Human-Faced Flower King. After all, the Human-Faced Flower King is very powerful."

"If we catch it, we will definitely notify you."

"Mm!" Gunie nodded.

"It's getting late. I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare more food. You'll have dinner here today." Gunie said.

"Mm." Veya nodded without refusing.

...

As night fell, the candles in the hall lit up, illuminating the entire hall like daylight.

Everyone began to dine at the long table.

The dinner was very sumptuous: Florence steak, cabbage rolls with minced meat, veal sausages, cakes made from cod from the sea, deep-sea soup made from deep-sea kelp, wild roast goose from a supernatural goose species caught on a deserted island.

The humans in this world had a pursuit of gourmet food comparable to that of the Celestial Dynasty people.

In the past, Gunie would have restrained himself from eating such rich meat; consuming large amounts of meat could lead to obesity and various diseases caused by obesity.

But in this supernatural world,

as a supernatural, one had a high demand for food, especially meat.

The more one ate, the more the body digested, and instead made one's body stronger.

Gunie had experienced this deeply.

The more he ate, the more Gunie felt that in the dead of night, the slight peristalsis of his stomach would supply energy from the meat to his whole body, continuously increasing his body density, and his body would slowly strengthen during the night.

If he had an empty stomach, this nighttime growth would not occur.

Because of this, almost every supernatural's food intake was four or five times that of ordinary people, or even more.

Even Veya, who was slender and not tall, had a surprisingly large appetite at the table.

While eating, Veya told Gunie many interesting anecdotes and recent major events.

For example, in the Western Wasteland Plateau, the Snake Demon tribe and the Centaur tribe had another war.

And the Minotaur tribe gained more benefits and land in the war, building more Minotaur castles.

For example, in the depths of the Eastern Supernatural Ocean, a large number of meteorites fell. Many supernaturals began to venture into the ocean to find those fallen meteorites.

Meteorites falling from the starry sky were at least of the "magic gold" level.

Some magic gold with sufficient supernatural characteristics might even undergo transformation, forming rare "legendary" metals.

For example, the steel giant ships of the Northern Continent clashed with a pirate king's "supernatural magic ship" at sea.

"Supernatural magic ships" were sufficiently eerie and had the ability to submerge, traveling beneath the sea surface.

The sailors on the magic ships all had the ability to "breathe in the deep sea" and could dive into the deep sea with the ship.

But the "steel giant cannons" of the steel giant ships cast from supernatural metal clearly had more terrifying destructive power.

Moreover, the officially developed "supernatural source energy submarines" also had corresponding deep-sea navigation capabilities.

When robbing merchant ships, the pirates' supernatural magic ships had a great advantage.

When clashing with the authorities, it was clearly the pirates' supernatural magic ships that suffered losses.

The narration of various events was not only interesting to Gunie but also to everyone present.

After all, as a frontline combat member of the Vanguard Group,

Veya knew far more information than the others, and it was much more accurate.

"Magic ships, meteorites, mermaids, deep-sea sirens, eerie mists, Thunder Island, island cannibals, deep-sea monsters."

"The sea is truly magnificent!" Gunie exclaimed.

"I wonder if a new continent will be discovered." Gunie then pondered inwardly.

Now, this supernatural world, with the rise of steam machinery, was in the era of great geographical discoveries.

No one was sure if there were new continents, or even more than one or two.

Even whether this world was a sphere was still debatable.

From the runic algorithms, Gunie derived the world system framework of this world and could reach a general conclusion.

That is, the "real plane" of this world might not necessarily be a sphere.

The combination of the real world and the shadow world, plus the many layers of the shadow world, could perfectly form a complete internal and external circulation system.

And the shadow world perfectly presented a projected opposition to the real world plane.

Thus, the involuted hemisphere was currently considered the most reasonable real world framework within academic circles.

This was even more perfect than a sphere, and even more stable.

"The prototype framework of plane theory perfectly conforms to the supernatural runic algorithms."

"Is this world really a plane floating on the World Sea?" Gunie pondered.

The era of great geographical discoveries was not only about understanding the deeper parts of the ocean but also about understanding the entire world.

Just as Gunie was thinking,

suddenly, Gunie raised his head.

At the same time, Veya also raised her head.

Then,

everyone who was dining raised their heads and looked around in confusion.

At that moment, the source energy was in a chaotic and disordered state, as if countless water droplets were jumping on a calm water surface.

This was extremely unusual.

Buzz buzz buzz...

The ground began to tremble slightly.

The castle also began to shake gently.

The plates, utensils, knives, and forks on the table also began to jump lightly, making clattering sounds.

Amid the shaking, some candles kept falling, causing some timid girls to scream.

"It's an earthquake."

Gunie reacted immediately.

Fortunately, the earthquake was not strong and did not last long.

After about ten seconds, it gradually weakened.

After about half a minute, the slight tremor completely disappeared, and in everyone's perception, the source energy gradually returned to calm.

Huh...

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The brief earthquake caused some decorations to fall, and several vases shattered.

Not far away, a carpet was ignited by a fallen candle, flames blazing.

An ice-element caster threw a range ice-element spell, and the fire quickly extinguished.

Although the earthquake was not severe,

but...

the significance behind it was extraordinary.

It seemed

that Sugg Ruins City would undergo another change.

At that moment, everyone was silent, vaguely sensing something.

Continuing his meal, Gunie casually opened his system and looked at the adventure page.

Whenever something happened, or he arrived at a new place, or during idle moments, Gunie always opened his system to glance at the adventure page. This had become a habit.

With a glance, Gunie's body stiffened slightly.

Fortunately, everyone was still in a slight panic after the earthquake and did not pay much attention to Gunie.

On the adventure page, which was usually blank, a brand new adventure had boldly appeared this time.
