This is a stone deserted island with a mere hundred-meter circumference, with only a few coconut trees and an old, dilapidated sailboat that's been stranded on the shore for who knows how many years—nothing else! A deserted Newbie Village! The difficulty level of this starting scenario can only be described as grim!
Could it be that my special skill is also a Divine Skill, which is why I received the same starting treatment as this Admiral? Before entering the game, Da Fei had done his homework thoroughly: the better the random specialization a player gets, the harder the start. Of course, no matter how difficult, the examiner would always assign by specialty, meaning that an Admiral would never be placed in a desert mountain area. It is probably for this reason that Blood Sea Wave dared to provoke and anger the examiner, and then ended up being assigned to this dead-end! And the more hopeless the situation, the greater the potential rewards!
Damn! A deserted island, a mysterious treasure shipwreck, unimaginable gains—all of it should have been prepared just for the protagonist alone! Instead, there is one more person here! Oh my god! Are you sending him, this Divine-level Hero, to annoy me, or am I sent to annoy him?
Now, Da Fei and Blood Sea Wave both avert their gaze from that promisingly stranded sailboat and look at each other!
Feeling the other's unfriendly gaze, Da Fei couldn't help but feel tense! This isn't a place big enough for two tigers, is it? He's not going to start a PK with me, is he? Level 3 Soldier, oh! It's basically insurmountable; one against three without discussion!
Da Fei immediately tactfully laughs and says, "Brother, hello hello, our meeting on this deserted island must be fate, let's look after each other from now on."
Blood Sea Wave coldly responds, "I've seen you before, you were with me in the newbie hall just now."
Da Fei is suddenly startled! This guy has a photographic memory! He can remember dozens of people from the hall? Da Fei can only laugh and say, "Brother, you have sharp eyesight, coming from the same newbie hall makes us even more destined."
Holding onto his sword handle, Blood Sea Wave coldly states, "You know my talent and specialty, I must also know your talents and skills, let me be clear, my skill is Basic Attack Skill!"
(Note: Basic Attack Skill—increases the close combat damage of the hero's troops by 10%)
Ah, although it's an unpleasant request from Da Fei, in this desperate situation, cooperation is better than infighting! Most importantly, I can't beat him!
Da Fei hurriedly laughs, "Trash talent, not worth mentioning." Then he also reveals his own special skills and abilities.
Blood Sea Wave coldly declares, "I don't team up!"
Da Fei is immediately taken aback, "This, I mean brother, I didn't say anything about you leading, It's normal for both of us players to collaborate and take care of each other here, right?"
With a clang, Blood Sea Wave draws his iron sword and laughing loudly he points it at Da Fei's throat, "Take care of each other? Cooperate? You, with your trash gunner status, deserve to cooperate? If it wasn't for the fact that killing you would cause me a loss of prestige—a PK I wouldn't even waste my time, I'd chop you up every time I see you, ensuring you're weak forever with no chance of turning things around!"
Damn, so straightforward! Whatever we worry about is bound to happen!
Da Fei's face changes as he stammers, "I mean, brother, it's just a game, we're meeting for the first time with no deep-seated grudges, is it really necessary? Besides, as a Divine-level Hero with a limitless future, why spoil the atmosphere over such a trivial matter?"
Blood Sea Wave laughs wildly, "I play the game my way, if you're not satisfied, fight me! I hate and distrust players the most! Let me tell you straight, with my Divine-level Hero account, I can make millions just by opening my mouth. If I get tired of killing and don't want to play anymore, I'll just sell my account and immediately there'll be bosses ready to take over my account! You get it?"
Damn! Another one who thinks he can do whatever he wants in games, people like this are just unbeatable, just like me back in the day!
Is it the old saying, 'the new waves push the old waves'? Da Fei can only sigh, "Indeed, you're awesome."
Blood Sea Wave coldly commands, "This ship is my territory, stay away."
So, is the old wave going to die on the beach? Da Fei, feeling helpless, raises his hands and while retreating, sighs saying, "Alright alright! I'll go play somewhere else..."
Blood Sea Wave coldly states, "Wise decision!" and then proudly turns around, walking toward the shipwreck.
Inside, Da Fei feels a stampede of 'fuck your mother' running through his mind! This is karma! Just endure and let it go, I have goals and a career now, I can't act wildly like in the past.
What to do now? There's nothing on the island, not even bird droppings, and the shipwreck has been dominated by this asshole, so it's time to check out the sea. Back in the day, I was indestructible even in adversity, so a careful search might still find a way out.
Despite the island's small size, the shallow coastal area is rather large. Among the waist-deep clear blue water, various neutral yellow-named sea stars, crabs, fish, and shells are plentiful, yet it's impossible to check the specific attributes of these creatures. On the Hero Continent, every new player can directly view the attributes of troop monsters published in official materials in the game, but these animals here remain a mystery.
Da Fei swiftly kills numerous sea stars, sea cucumbers, and small fish, but gains absolutely no experience—however, he does harvest a decent amount of seafood, which is still food, after all. Each player starts with a week's ration of food and water, as well as fire-starting camping equipment for cooking. Time in the game corresponds to a 1:10 ratio with real-time, meaning 1 day in the game equates to 2.4 hours in reality. Running out of food and water leads to hunger, reduced Stamina, and eventually a weakened state. Of course, players are heroes, the Children of Destiny, and won't starve to death. If a player leads troops on a campaign, they must carry ample food, or else the troops might desert or even disperse.
However, constantly killing these small critters with no experience isn't the way to go. That lobster with its daunting claws, that sea turtle with its thick shell, and that red-named creature... a sea snake! Damn, it's huge; better steer clear of it!
Finally, Da Fei spots a fish half the size of a human lazily swimming around, seemingly not very ferocious. Maybe this one could offer some experience? Let's go for it!
A gleam of cold light arrives first, followed by a lance shooting out like a dragon!

Da Fei resurrected in the coconut grove on the island, feeling disheartened at his continued weakened state for 10 minutes! Life as a gunner is indeed fragile! Looking towards the sunken ship, he saw skeletons continuously rushing out from the rear cabin door to the deck, where Blood Sea Wave was killing skeletons with great delight! Da Fei clenched his teeth in hatred!
As for why there are skeletons, is that even a question? Aren't there always such things in sunken ships? Then there are treasure chests, and even a Skeleton Captain BOSS that drops Divine Artifacts, and so on!
Huh? Shielded ones? Those aren't ordinary skeletons! They are the most elite Skeleton Warriors known for their defense, renowned as the nemesis of ranged troops among Level 1 Soldiers! These are unique units of the NPC forces!
—Skeleton Warrior: Attack 2, Defense 6, Damage 1-3, Health 5, Attack Speed 10, Move Speed 6, Command Value 1, special skill: Big Shield, Hollow Skeleton, Undying Creature, Killing Experience 10.
(Note: Both Big Shield and Hollow Skeleton reduce ranged damage by 50%, but Hollow Skeleton applies another 50% reduction after the Big Shield's 50%, so the actual ranged damage reduction for Skeleton Warriors is 75%)
And the attributes of Human Race's Level 3 Soldier Shield Guard:
—Shield Guard: Attack 2, Defense 8, Damage 2-5, Health 20, Attack Speed 12, Move Speed 8, Command Value 2, special skill: Big Shield, Shield Formation. Killing Experience 17.
In terms of attack and defense attributes, there's actually not much difference! Even if Blood Sea Wave, as a player, starts with an extra 2 points of attack, he still can't break through the defense of the Skeleton Warrior. According to the formula, the damage value would be less than 85% under normal circumstances; with good luck two hits would kill, with bad luck, it takes three!
Indeed, at this time, Blood Sea Wave needed two or three hits to kill each skeleton, and he also had to take two hits himself!
What kind of people are these! Just team up with me, my gunner would take advantage of the long weapon and stab first, and when they get close, we finish them together. Isn't that an effortless win? Wouldn't that be leveling up fast without even needing a break?
Damn it, aren't you afraid of bursting from your selfishness! Back in my day, I wasn't this greedy; I used people then parted ways amicably. The more Da Fei thought about it, the angrier he became and he fiercely hammered the trunk of a nearby tree!
—System Prompt: You have obtained a Coconut Juice Fruit!
—Coconut Juice Fruit: Temporarily +1 Health, replenishes 100 points of Stamina, the only freshwater source on the island!
Da Fei's eyebrows twitched! The only freshwater source? So there are still goods on this island! I knew it, the system wouldn't really place players in a desperate situation! Good! Da Fei knocked on all the trees and obtained 5 coconut fruits.
—System Prompt: Cannot obtain more Coconut Juice Fruits, please come back when the fruits ripen next month.
Next month? That's 3 real-time days! Hahaha! What a rip-off! You lad, just gnaw on them when you run out of fresh water! Gnawing surely lowers your condition a bit, right? Anyway, I'll take any chance to mess with him!
After the weakness debuff wore off, Da Fei went into the sea again. Then he tried to challenge several unknown ocean creatures, failing repeatedly!
I don't believe that I can't find one I can beat! Keep going!
At this moment, the day had gradually darkened, and the waist-deep sea water gurgled back, low tide! Under the starry sky, the area of the island exposed by the low tide expanded by more than a hundred times!
So, the game also has a concept of low tide! A thought struck Da Fei, if there are some big fish that couldn't retreat in time, wouldn't they just become meat on my chopping board? Thinking this, Da Fei was reinvigorated and began searching everywhere. Unfortunately, imagination and reality always have a big gap.
No way? Is the sunken ship the only way out? Da Fei frustratedly stared at the sunken ship. The night made the ship even more ghostly, and skeletons swarmed; Blood Sea Wave seemed to be leveling up and becoming more eager as he killed. Damn it!
In a moment of helpless frustration, Da Fei suddenly saw a flickering red light in the distance. What is that?
Da Fei hurriedly moved forward to check; it was a large mass of flesh with trembling tentacles in a tidal puddle after the low tide! What is that? Anyway, Da Fei has died many times; a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water, and he fearlessly moved closer while these red-named creatures still did not react!
So close and still no reaction? Do they look like coral? Anemone? Must be anemone, right?! Could it be a Plant Monster? Anyway, what I encounter is what it is!
Targeting one, Da Fei stabbed his spear forward "-2!"
The lump made a squeaking sound as its tentacles fiercely swept in retaliation! But they couldn't reach Da Fei! Yes, the special skill of Long Spear Soldier is indeed "Long Weapon"!
Da Fei was delighted! Another stab "-3!" The anemone still futilely waved its tentacles!
Da Fei laughed heartily! Found it! There is always a way out, I finally found it! This is a great place, if it wasn't for the low tide I wouldn't even have known about this hidden gem! They say Plant Monsters are tricky, right? Although my Long Spear Soldier is weak, I precisely have your number!
Three more stabs later, the anemone popped and died!
—System Prompt: You have defeated an unknown creature and gained 10 experience points!
Hahaha, I can finally level up! Miracle Island truly lives up to its name, all these anemones are my experience!
