Chapter 4389: Swamp Forest Essay
“Since you don’t intend to have the choice, then I’ll start making the choice?” Angel looked at Blanche.
Blanche shook her head: "No."
Of all the fairy identities, she most favors "Heavenly Melody," an identity that is directly bestowed upon her, not through any physical medium.
As for the other Wonderland identities, Blanche was somewhat tempted, but she always felt that with her learning ability, she could learn them in a little time.
Therefore, there is no need to specifically ask for the right to choose.
After confirming that Blanche did not want the option, Angel began to filter through the list of rewards.
A moment later, Angell's gaze fell on the rewards in the "Special Limited" section.
He currently has two options in mind.
One is the "scout squad", and the other is the "self-seeking method".
The "Scout Squad" and the "Merchant Squad" are similar, but the Scout Squad is clearly from the Forty Thieves. It is a three-person scout squad that is good at reconnaissance, stealth and wilderness survival.
The main reason I paid attention to this was that there weren't any particularly interesting rewards in the list.
Unfortunately, the dungeon difficulty is too low, resulting in mediocre rewards.
In addition, Angel himself is overpowered, so many rewards are completely unnecessary for him.
For example, among the fairy-tale buildings on the list, almost none can compare to the "Traveler's Hut," which has no skills and can only be used as a portable hut.
This was meaningless to Angor, because if he wanted to live in a house, he could simply conjure up an illusion hut by hand.
Of course, portable cabins also have some advantages, such as being able to be used as storage space.
But Angell also has no shortage of storage space.
Similarly, while some items in the Wonderland may have clever designs, Angel can replace them through other means or his own abilities.
Therefore, Angell had absolutely no interest in this kind of reward.
Instead of picking out a few meaningless items, it's better to bring out a few NPCs.
Both the "scout team" and the "trading team" were actually under Angor's consideration, because the scout team had a certain combat capability, so it was given a slightly higher priority.
Ingres was also very curious about another "method of seeking oneself".
"The Method of Seeking Self: The special inscription may hide some secrets."
He was interested in inscriptions, but lacked a way to study them. However, this "Method of Seeking Self" could be a direction for his research.
Moreover, according to the introduction, there are secrets hidden in "The Way of Seeking Oneself," which is one of the reasons why Angell felt it was worth choosing.
However, the "Self-Seeking Method" is only "selectable".
Its appeal is not yet great enough that Angell must choose it.
Even when comparing the "Self-Seeking Method" with the scout squad, Angell found it difficult to make a choice.
The reason for the difficulty in making a choice is not that I want both, but that both are just average, so average that it seems insignificant which one I choose.
Angell sighed silently.
Just as Angell was hesitating about which one to choose, his gaze was suddenly drawn to another reward.
This reward is also subject to "special restrictions".
Its name is: "Ode to the Marsh Forest".
"Writing in the Swamp Forest: Consumes a certain amount of mental energy to directly inscribe words on the 'Writing Swamp Forest'. The prerequisite for this ability is: owning the Writing Swamp Forest."
Ingres had seen this poem before.
Because he didn't know what "赋文" meant, he skipped it.
The fairyland prompt was not explained, and Angel was treated as a newly coined term for gimmicks.
For example, I once saw a Wonderland item in the list that was a whistle. The description only said "playing it will give you the Heart Sound effect", but it didn't explain at all what the "Heart Sound" effect actually was.
The only way to know is to redeem it.
But Angor didn't want to exchange for something just for an inexplicable effect.
Therefore, Ingres initially skipped over "Ode to the Marsh Forest".
But now, it has returned to Ingres's field of vision.
The reason was that he saw the introduction to "Zhumin Fuwen" mentioning...the text of the marsh forest.
What is the monzumara forest?
Angell wasn't entirely sure, but he guessed it might be similar to the Text Manor.
According to the setting of the Wonderland Powers, as long as you perfectly complete a dungeon, the dungeon itself will disappear, but a new dimension made of text will be formed as a reward for the winner.
This is how the Text Manor came about.
The Text Swamp Forest might be a textual space gifted to those who perfectly clear the Misty Swamp Forest dungeon.
If that's the case, then this poem is directly linked to the text space.
Perhaps it will have some wonderful special effects?
Angell looked at the Ode to the Marsh Forest, then at the scout team and the "Self-Seeking Method," and after weighing the options, he finally decided to take a gamble and chose the Ode to the Marsh Forest.
The limits of the scout squad and the "Self-Seeking Method" are immediately apparent.
Moreover, we can wait until Blanche's teacher has studied it before trying to obtain it.
However, the "writing" feature is something that was not available in the previous Word Manor.
It's highly likely that this is a new attempt by the Fairy Realm's powers to improve the writing system during this period, and it might be quite unique.
Therefore, Ingres ultimately decided to choose the marsh forest poem.
As Angell selects the reward "Marshland Ode," the font gradually turns gray in the special restrictions section, indicating that it has been locked and cannot be selected by others.
Everyone noticed this scene and realized that Angell had made the choice.
"Written in the Marsh Forest? What does that mean?" Blanche asked curiously.
Kemai and Uriel also looked at Angor, they hadn't expected Angor to choose such a reward.
They couldn't even understand the meaning of the reward.
Could it be that the poem has some special significance?
Angel had already accepted the reward of "Swamp Forest Ode". Even though he already had the relevant information in his mind, his expression was still similar to everyone else's, still bewildered.
What is meant by "fuwen"?
The explanation given by Wonderland is that—using mental energy as dye, characters and symbols existing in static and dynamic visual forms are transformed into standard text that can be recorded, edited, transmitted, and reconstructed through ordered analysis.
The explanation was quite obscure; Ingres could vaguely grasp some of the clues, but he couldn't be completely certain.
Only after going to the Mononomiyuri will it become clearer.
It's worth mentioning that, according to the information we just received, the Text Swamp Forest is indeed the text space given after perfectly completing the Misty Swamp Forest dungeon.
Angell raised his head and shrugged slightly: "I don't know what an ode is either..."
"Then why did you choose this?" everyone asked, puzzled.
Angell pointed to the words "Word Marsh Forest": "Because of it."
What does "文字沼林" mean?
Angor didn't keep everyone in suspense, since everyone would gain access to the text space once the dungeon ended; he was just revealing some information in advance.
The three of them were stunned after hearing this.
A perfect completion of the game actually rewards you with an alternate dimension?
Although it's shared by all players who complete the game, it's still quite remarkable!
To put it simply, this is equivalent to directly sealing off one of their territories!
Most importantly, Blanche and Uriel had already surpassed 99% of the new residents and gained a place to live without even setting foot in Dream Crystal Plains.
Blanche finally came to her senses and was incredibly relieved that she hadn't forced a quit when Kemai wanted to complete the game perfectly.
If she had quit back then, she would probably have regretted it for the rest of her life!
Uriel shared the same thought as Blanche, because he had also considered leaving early. Fortunately, Angor stopped them, and they finally waited for the "evil spirit" to appear, making up for the missing 2% completion... Otherwise, he would have truly regretted it for the rest of his life.
As for Kemai, he was overjoyed.
At this point, he no longer even paid attention to the fairyland architecture.
I used to think that Fairyland Architecture would give me a home, but now, I've got an even bigger home!
Then what's the point of having fairyland architecture?
As everyone was excitedly anticipating the moment, Angel coughed lightly and said, "You'll see the Text Swamp Forest once you're outside. For now, it's best if you all collect all the special rewards and finish the dungeon as soon as possible."
Everyone nodded eagerly.
Next up to select the reward is Kemai, who ranked second in contribution.
Kemai is now in a dilemma.
Previously, he was obsessed with the architecture of the fairyland, but now that he has the Word Swamp Forest, he no longer cares about architecture.
But if we don't choose fairyland-themed architecture, what should we choose?
He hesitated for a long time before finally making his decision—
"Wonderland Pets: Swamp Turtle"
"The living dead from the Misty Swamp Forest, a special species of turtle living deep in the swamp."
Attribute: Earth
Additional Skills: None
Talent: Immovable Mud Shield
"After recognizing its owner, it can be stored in a separate fairyland space."
Kemai chose a fairy pet that wasn't particularly special; at least in everyone's eyes, this choice was much worse than the other options in the reward list.
In fact, this swamp tortoise doesn't even have any special skills.
Faced with everyone's curiosity and confusion, Ke Mai scratched his head and said, "This is what I prepared for my son..."
Kemai knew Wes's personality well; he was eager to explore the Wonderland instance and wanted to be a challenger.
Wes also played a part in discovering the Misty Forest instance.
At that moment, Wes wanted to go in, but Angel held him back.
Ke Mai knew very well that his brat would eventually embark on the path of a challenger, conquering one dungeon after another.
Since we can't keep it, we have no choice but to let go.
As a parent, what Ke Mai is thinking about now is to prepare a defensive item for Wes before he starts challenging the Wonderland dungeon, so that Wes will have a greater chance of surviving when facing desperate situations.
With this in mind, he carefully looked at the various defensive items in the list and found that none of them were particularly satisfactory.
Because the defense provided is too low.
As I said before, E-rank dungeons are unlikely to give you exceptionally overpowered items.
After much deliberation, Kemai chose the Swamp Turtle. Although it doesn't have any active skills, its talent "Immovable Mud Shield" is very strong.
It can attach a shield to those around it when it is in a state of stagnation.
In other words, as long as Kerma carries the Swamp Turtle with him and keeps it relatively still, the mud shield can keep refreshing.
At the same time, swamp tortoises can continue to grow.
As it grows, the shield granted by its innate abilities will also become thicker.
In short, this is a shield ability that can grow. It may not be as good as other defensive items on the list in the initial stage, but in the future, its shield will definitely surpass the existing items.
This is also why Kemai chose it.
After Ke Mai explained his reasons, everyone understood his good intentions.
The Swamp Turtle appeared in Kemai's hands in the form of a sleeping baby turtle. Once a contract was signed, it could be taken into the Fairy Realm space.
However, since Kemai has already decided to transfer it to Wes, it will naturally not sign a contract.
After carefully putting the palm-sized, yellowish-brown turtle into his pocket, he looked at Uriel.
“I’ve already stated my choice; I will only choose ‘Dreaming of Returning Spirits.’” Uriel didn’t hesitate at all and directly selected “Dreaming of Returning Spirits.”
And with his confirmation.
Everyone saw that a large number of light spots suddenly emanated from around the "evil spirit" sitting cross-legged on the stone slab, and these light spots began to converge in some form.
Ultimately, it formed a semi-transparent, sleeping figure.
It was Father Sean.
Not long after he appeared, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened. He had just woken up and his eyes were filled with doubt and surprise. After a moment, he seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up at... Uriel.
Just as Priest Seymour was about to say something, a faint light flashed, and the next second, his figure vanished.
Uriel sensed the information in his mind, a hint of joy on his face: "The information in my mind tells me that Priest Seymour has been teleported out and has now officially entered the Dream Crystal Plains as a newcomer."
"At the same time, I also obtained a missing person marker. As long as I use it in Dream Crystal Plains, I can pinpoint the location of Priest Sean."
However, Uriel will likely not be able to see Father Sean for some time.
After all, he is currently in the Uriel instance.
Only after Luigi has completed the Uriel instance will he be qualified to go to the Dream Crystal Plains.
Uriel didn't care about that; as long as Sean could come back to life, nothing else mattered.
Finally, there was Blanche's reward.
She had no choice; instead, the power of the fairy realm directly and randomly bestowed upon her a reward.
Everyone stared at the reward list. After a moment, another item on the list turned gray, which was obviously the reward that Blanche had randomly received.
When they saw the reward, everyone was slightly taken aback.
"Wonderland Item: Snowy Owl's Wardrobe"
"From the fairyland 'Living Dead of the Misty Swamp Forest'."
"Snowy Owl was once the most notorious assassin of gifted individuals in Victoria Warm Breeze City. She initially killed out of jealousy of other gifted individuals, but was not arrested by the Sky City enforcement team. The leader of the team not only released her but also tacitly allowed her to continue hunting, as a test for the gifted individuals. Afterward, Snowy Owl cooperated with the leader and became a notorious assassin of gifted individuals. Later, she accidentally killed the offspring of a powerful figure and fled to the swamp tribe of the Great Sman Empire to hide. In the end, she could not escape the pursuit and left behind only a wardrobe that she had used for disguise."
"Additional skill: The Assassin's Dress-Up Wardrobe"
"This item can be stored in a separate Wonderland space, but the skill will not be active while in the Wonderland space."
