Finally, the month ended, on the morning of the next month I received a notification
"System: You receive rewards for your work for the benefit of your people. The system will grant you 30,000 contribution points."
More than last time. Well, okay, system, I'm buying a map to the nearest continent, but the quality level of the map is at a minimum.
"System: it will cost 260,000 contribution points."
I confirm the purchase.
"System: your map has been updated"
I looked at the map. There was a way to another continent. It's not a Neutral continent because it goes the other way. This is a problem because only the coast was shown there, but not detailed. If you look at the eye, the journey may take a week or two. It's unpleasant, there are islands along the way, but there are not very many of them, perhaps I should start building a ship already. In the store, I found a normal one for 2000. But I also found a couple of ships with an average price of 18,000.
After thinking it over, I decided that I would take the ship after all. There were not many ships on which I could fit, no more than 40. I decided to take a carrack. It's big enough to hold me and 20 of my snake servants.
Although they are stupid, they can carry out simple orders. I think they will be useful on the way and after the way. They do their job well, they get food and guard me during sleep, at first I didn't really trust their abilities, but after a couple of times when they warned me about the killers more than 4 times, I began to sleep calmer.
While I was thinking about it, they brought me food, it's nice to be lazy. After lunch, I took them and went ashore. And there I bought a ship, the fog came out in a moment, and then when it cleared, a ship appeared. It was a carrack, the standard of the medieval Navy. After that, I boarded the ship with my servants. Although the ship was large, I could only fit in the middle of the ship, there was only a little free space. I am now 16 meters long and 8 meters wide.
Of course, there are bigger ships, but it's better to take their drawings and create them than to buy them. The price of the good drawing is 200,000 and the ship itself is 500,000, which clearly shows that either the price of all things used in production is expensive, or that it requires too many little things. But there are also those that can be bought only once, and it has no drawings. There are such in almost every section. For example, there is such a ship:
"Name: Ship of the Ocean God
Durability: 4000
Speed: 200
Length: 1 kilometer
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.
Width: 0.5 kilometers
Special Power: Manipulates the ocean, never meets storms
Price: 3,000,000 contribution points
Price of drawings: no"
Compared to this, this ship is not worthy of mention:
"Name: Carrack
Durability: 100
Speed: 50
Length: 50 meters
Width: 25 meters
Special Power: No.
Price: 20,000
Drawing price: 2000"
It looks like I'll have to find better ways to earn money in the future. It looks like I need to become a good "king" and rule people. Although it looks like I'm still forming a country. Okay, all in good time, I will solve problems as they arise.
…
It was difficult to control the ship, but I was able to somehow cope. During these days, it dawned on me. If I know anything about spatial magic, it's that teleports are basic or lower level. I'm sure there will be a way to teleport across the islands in the book of basics or lower rank.
I'll probably have to make a blood sacrifice, so it's easier to get energy for teleport. But where can I get so much? I'll probably do it later. First, we need to find a way to contact Sean or Andre. It's a little difficult. Well, I think I knew who can solve it
A system, is there a way to contact them?
"System: Scanning the request. Confirmation of rights. Confirmed. A message is open to you."
I have a question, what you can't do?
"System: The answer to the question is denied"
Okay, details.
"System: You can send written messages. Sending will expend contribution points. The cost will depend on the number of words, the distance, and how difficult the words are to understand."
Is it clear how much it costs to send an "I'll be back" message to Sean?
"System: Processing. It's worth 400 contribution points."
Okay, send it.
"System: Message has been sent"
Excellent. We're on the first island. Not to say that there is something valuable here, except that there are a couple of animals that are suitable as food. I took them and we went on our way. Because we left the cursed island, my mana stopped being blocked. It was like a mountain was lifted off my shoulders.
After a week or two, I finally got to the continent. It wouldn't be a neutral continent, according to the map. As soon as I set foot on the continent
"System: Congratulations on coming to the Continent of Titans. You get 200,000 contribution points as a reward"
"System: You are the first to visit another continent besides your own. You get 200,000 contribution points as a reward."
400,000 for stepping into the continent? Generous, I can't say anything. So this is the Continent of the Titans. I looked around the area, there was only the beach. Having told the servants to wait for me, I went on a reconnaissance flight. After examining the area, I saw a forest in the distance. After 5 minutes, I had already come to it. I was surprised to see the size of the forest, each tree is at least two times smaller than me. The grass is a meter or half a meter long. Then I saw the creature here. It was a bull, he was a peaceful herbivore. But all the same, it was half as tall as me, but it is weak in characteristics.
"Race: Giant Bull.
Skills: Strong Skin(2lv), Primal Power (1lv), Escape (2lv), Horns (2lv)"
He was focused on defense and escape, generally weak. I decided that he would be suitable as food, I exhaled breath on him and burned his eyes, while he was in a panic, I went up and cut him with ghost claws.
"You have received 100 XP"
They give a lot of experience. After dividing the meat into pieces, I cooked it. After a hearty lunch, I returned to my servants. I had to leave the ship, but just in case I used magic and buried it in the ground underwater, I sealed it inside with a bubble, so it will not be filled with water. If I need a ship, I will just need to remove the earth and it will rise from the bottom. After that, I decided to stay in the forest with my servants.
Everything was calm but after a couple of days, I met him…
