In the Internet age, who still makes traditional games?

“What the f***?”

Count Zero watched the devastatingly huge tentacle fall before him, smashing the ship into a shower of splinters.

Corrosive slime splattered at his feet, eating away at the wooden deck and turning it into a honeycomb of holes.

One tentacle wrapped around the main mast, spiraling upwards.

The snapping of severed rigging lashed across the deck like whips, creating a terrifying sound.

Wooden barrels, handrails, and sacks on the deck were easily smashed to pieces by the ropes.

One even struck Count Zero on the thigh, causing him to howl in pain.

The main mast struggled to hold for a few seconds before finally succumbing to the tentacle's power and snapping at its base.

The brass bell on the lookout tower at the top shook violently, ringing urgently.

Under the tentacles' strangulation and dragging, the ship quickly tilted.

Cannons plunged into the sea, and tons of seawater poured frantically into the hold.

The entire warship was facing its doom!

Count Zero, clutching the swaying rudder, could only utter various curses—

“F*** me!”

“Are you f***ing kidding me?”

“What the f***!”

“Help me—”

Unfortunately, no one could save him.

At the edge of the warship, all the rafts simultaneously turned, desperately fleeing from the giant beast and the sailing ship.

The deep-sea monster, Kraken, was no longer content to stay underwater—its tentacles tightly constricted the ship, and its body slowly surfaced, climbing onto the ship.

The rise of this enormous and terrifying creature from the water even stirred up waves, pushing the surrounding rafts away.

Huan Yue followed this current, quickly moving away and finally breathing a sigh of relief.

The sea breeze carried Count Zero's cries for help to his ears.

He turned back and saw the severely tilted and slowly sinking stern of the sailing ship, with a man clinging to the rudder and shouting for help.

Below him, the seawater receded in all directions, revealing a giant maw covered in barnacles and coral.

A ring of teeth more than ten feet wide slowly wriggled and rotated, each tusk sharp and yellowed, enough to drive any dentist crazy just by looking at it.

—And enough to drive Count Zero crazy.

Because as the suction cups contracted on the hull, making sticky sounds, this terrifying mouth drew closer and closer to him, already approaching his calf!

Mr. Geek was on the verge of collapse, begging for help and mercy:

“Help me!!!”

“I was wrong! I was really wrong!!”

“I'll never do it again!!”

But the Kraken was unmoved. This terrifying mouth still devoured his body bit by bit—

From the ankle to the calf, then to the thigh, buttocks, chest, neck, face…

During this process, the octopus also extended its tentacles covered in slime, wrapping them around his body, with large and small suction cups sticking to him and constantly sucking!

The poor Mr. Geek experienced the most terrifying 30 seconds of his life!

After shouting hoarsely for a long time, his throat was almost raw before the giant sea monster completely swallowed him into its mouth, ending this torment.

In the live broadcast room, more than 60,000 viewers watched this “cyber execution.”

And finally, experiencing those 30 seconds of death from a first-person perspective, the viewers were completely dumbfounded.

After a while, someone said:

“@Xu Meng, Boss Xu, I'm sorry, I might have been a little too loud just now…”

“Yeah, yeah, don't mind it, I firmly support all your decisions, Boss Xu!”

“Damn, angering Boss Xu is too scary.”

“No wonder he didn't ban the account…”

“If he had known it would be so miserable, he probably would have begged to be banned just now, right?”

…

After watching the whole process, Xu Meng contentedly sent a final barrage in the live broadcast room:

“Isn't this much more interesting than banning the account?”

Then he decisively exited the live broadcast room, raised his hand, and rubbed Xiao Meng's pink head, praising, “Xiao Meng is really amazing!”

“Hehe, Xiao Meng is also having a lot of fun!” Xiao Meng cheered, “There are still so many people nearby! Can Xiao Meng eat them?”

At the same time Xiao Meng said this, the Kraken in the game raised its eight tentacles, reaching towards the players on the surrounding rafts.

“Nonono, that's really not okay!” Xu Meng waved his hands repeatedly, stopping this excited little fellow.

The tentacles, which were about to grab the players, stopped instantly.

The 8 players looked at the tentacles and suction cups hovering over their heads, their faces pale with fright.

Fortunately, the Kraken stopped, slowly retracted its tentacles, completely crushed the entire ship, and then dragged the wreckage of the sailing ship, slowly sinking into the water.

Huan Yue finished watching the whole show—especially the terrifying scene of Count Zero being slowly swallowed by the meat grinder-like maw—and now had no other thought but to leave.

“This sea area is too damn dangerous!!!”

…

…

In the official live broadcast room, Lu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

He could finally relax and continue broadcasting with the host.

The war on the raft floating islands had come to an end. The survivors quickly sorted out supplies and strengthened their “floating islands” to become truly large teams.

Qi Huahua met two team members, bringing the number to 6.

The rafts were joined together, and the salvaged wood was also used to expand the rafts, so the space was finally no longer tight.

Other players also spent a short period of peaceful development.

Then, the first round of shark attacks began.

The attacks at this time were not difficult to deal with. Even if you completely ignored them, they would only bite off a third of the raft's durability before leaving on their own.

If you hit the shark a few times with a paddle, you could drive it away even earlier.

If you were even luckier and obtained iron weapons, you might even be able to kill the shark and obtain a large amount of food.

The truly unlucky ones were those players who were soaking in the water—

In this game, a broken raft doesn't necessarily mean death; you can still swim while holding onto a barrel.

Orange Juice is currently in this situation—clinging to a barrel and cursing his temporary teammates.

He was peacefully staying on the raft, fishing and chatting with his viewers.

He hadn't provoked anyone.

But his useless teammate opened a supply box and found a high-end fishing rod, excitedly using the new rod to fish.

For some inexplicable reason, the fishhook got tangled on the bottom of his raft.

The brain-dead teammate even thought a big fish was on the line, grunting and hauling for a long time.

While pulling, he pondered: "This fishing rod is really high quality; it's not losing the hook or breaking the line."

In the end, after hauling for a long time, the fishing rod was indeed unscathed, but it had completely depleted the durability of Orange Juice's raft!

When the raft broke apart and Orange Juice fell into the sea, he was dumbfounded, only managing to grab the nearest barrel.

Coincidentally, a shark arrived at that moment.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Then, that idiot teammate's fishhook snagged the shark that came over.

The shark attacked Orange Juice, and the teammate was also dragged off the raft.

"Let go! You're already in the water, why are you still holding onto the fishing rod?" Orange Juice urged while clutching the barrel, "Go get a weapon!"

"This is a weapon!"

"That's a fishing rod! How can a fishing rod be a weapon?!" Orange Juice thought he was talking nonsense.

"It is!" The useless teammate, in a hurry, simply posted the fishing rod's stats—

【Xiao Jie's Fishing Rod】: A fishing rod used by a legendary hunter in his youth. It is both a fishing rod and a weapon, indestructible, and increases the probability of catching high-level fish and rare items by 10%.

Orange Juice was speechless.

He could only endure the shark's attacks and climb onto this useless teammate's raft.

On the contrary, the useless teammate, after the shark's attack ended, was dragged further and further away.

Orange Juice stood on the dilapidated raft, watching the departing figure of his useless teammate, waving goodbye to him: "Take care!"

"Eat on time!"

"If it really doesn't work out, let the shark have a good meal!"

… …

On the other side, in a panic, Sevenflower threw a sprouted potato into the shark's gaping maw.

The shark choked and even coughed a few times amusingly.

After coughing, it suddenly stopped attacking and began circling the raft.

Sevenflower was pleasantly surprised: "This shark likes to eat potatoes!"

"Can we raise sharks?"

Upon hearing this, the teammates also picked up potatoes and fed them to the attacking sharks.

After eating the potatoes, these sharks really stopped attacking.

But they didn't leave; instead, they kept circling the raft. After a while, they started attacking the raft again.

Sevenflower fed them again.

The sharks stopped attacking again.

After she continuously fed them three potatoes, the sharks finally had their fill and turned away from their raft.

Unfortunately, there weren't enough potatoes left, and they could only wave their weapons to drive away the other 5 sharks.

Then, Sevenflower's soul of farming began to burn fiercely!

"Let's plant potatoes!"

—She had always loved planting and building gameplay, and the moment she opened a planting pot from the supply box, she thought of planting potatoes.

Now that she had a sufficient reason, she was even more impatient.

The others didn't stop her, since there were only four left anyway.

Sevenflower immediately started experimenting, putting three potatoes into the planting pot, watering them with precious fresh water, and then, holding the fourth potato, she suddenly had an idea and threw a bucket of seawater in.

Five minutes later, she came to two delightful conclusions—

"Potatoes can indeed be planted!"

"They can even be planted in seawater!"

"Huh?" The teammates were very surprised, "Even in the sea? Isn't seawater salty?"

Sevenflower was also a little confused: "I don't know, but they did sprout, just growing slower than in the planting pot."

"Maybe the developers didn't write the code in enough detail, forgetting to distinguish between seawater and fresh water in the planting system?" someone speculated.

"It doesn't matter!" Sevenflower was already excited, her eyes shining.

"Since seawater works, can we plant a large potato farm around the raft, artificially creating a potato island?"

"By then, the food problem and the shark problem will be solved together!"

This whimsical idea immediately conquered the teammates.

Everyone immediately put down everything they were doing and worked together to salvage supply boxes, searching for potatoes!

… …

At the same time.

Heroic Sniper is gathering players, working together to build a magnificent "Tower of Babel at Sea"!

Not for survival, nor for competition.

It's just that Heroic Sniper had this idea and wanted to build an architectural wonder on the sea.

And not long after he started, he attracted a large group of passing players to actively join…

【Electronic Edison】 used shared bicycles, human-powered generators, treadmills, alpacas, and batteries to create a human-powered and animal-powered hybrid power generation device.

In order to use this device, he is shouting everywhere, looking for players with electrical appliances to team up with.

【Flower Boat】, who once discovered the hidden station 9 of the Creeping Metropolis, accidentally attracted three seagulls after frying potatoes into fries.

This gave her the idea of raising a large flock of seagulls.

【Dragon City Flying General】 is violently beating up sharks.

He captured the attacking sharks and wanted to try if he could tame them with force.
