My different world is game mode

boom!

Lindsay stood on the bow, the flintlock in his hand making a loud noise.

Smoke was coming from the muzzle, and when the ammunition was fired, Lindsay's face was also sprayed with a layer of smoke and exhaust gas.

"Cough cough cough——"

Lindsay coughed twice.

Looking up again, on the river not far ahead, a gray dove fell from the sky onto the water.

Lindsay whipped it over and dragged the body of the pigeon back to the deck.

The inconvenience of his left hand does affect his use of bows and arrows, but firearms have little effect.

Not to mention Lindsay turned on the [FPS] module.

He can directly use the aiming point to determine the shooting position, which makes him almost a marksman who can hit the target with a gun!

He wiped the black ash on his face, turned around and handed the pigeon to Wekner beside him:

"Luckily, we can have extra food tonight."

"Mr. Drake, your weapon is really interesting." Wickner, who was standing next to Lindsay, took the dove, but paid more attention to the flintlock gun. "I heard that some craftsmen can make Is this also a particularly powerful crossbow?"

Lindsay shook her head:

"This thing is called a gun, and it is somewhat different in principle from a crossbow."

When he heard that it was not a crossbow, but a "gun" that he had never heard of, Wekner analyzed the flintlock gun:

"This thing looks good and saves effort, but it makes a lot of noise. If I were to choose, a crossbow would be better, right?"

Place it in a low magic world or a normal world.

The invention and appearance of the musket was definitely a major event that could change the world.

But here...

Lindsay thought about those awakened beings who can influence and interfere with the world in seven stages.

And the eighth stage where fighting can break the world.

With such exaggerated force as a background, although firearms can work, they are not enough to subvert the entire social rules.

Lindsay looked at Wexner:

"The sound is indeed a big problem."

"But if the speed of the bullet exceeds the speed of sound, then there will be no problem."

"The speed of sound?" Wickner's expression was a little confused.

There are a hundred flowers of awakened beings in this universe, and among them there are also talents such as craftsmen and scholars who study technical knowledge.

They even have units of measurement that are common within the industry.

But things like the speed of sound are rarely studied, let alone ordinary people like Wixner.

"Yes, the speed of sound." Lindsay's vision swept around, and he pointed to the forest on the edge of the river. "Look, the distance from our side to the forest over there is about 50 meters. Doubling this length six or seven times is the distance that sound can travel through in one second."

Wickner scratched his head in embarrassment:

"I...I've never heard of such a thing."

When he looked at Lindsay again, his eyes became expectant, which was the expectation for the awakened person:

"Mr. Drake, you know so much, just like those life scholars!"

Lindsay saw what Wickner was thinking.

In other words, due to the uncertainty of the birth of the Awakened, anyone can have such a desire.

He then asked:

"By the way, Vecna, I haven't asked you yet, how old are you?"

Wickner immediately replied:

"14."

Lindsay counted the time.

Although there are many types of calendars in this universe, the tide of source matter comes once every 10 years, which is quite stable and is not difficult to calculate.

There should still be 4 years until the next source of mass tide.

If the age of 18 is counted as the standard of adulthood, the year when Vecna ​​turned 18 happened to be the time of the great tide of source matter.

Wickner asked Lindsay expectantly:

"Mr. Drake, do you think I can become an Awakener?"

Lindsay shook her head slightly:

"I can't judge this kind of thing."

"But I heard that the more powerful awakened ones can help others increase the probability of awakening. Since people can do it, I think there must be other items in nature that can have similar effects."

Hearing Lindsay's answer, Wexner looked around.

The trees on both sides of the river were still irritable and restless, but after a few days, people's adaptability began to take effect.

Looking at the forest now, he felt somewhat accustomed to it, and even felt that he could find some hope in it!

But Wickner has experience living alone.

He quickly got rid of this expectation and continued to ask Lindsay curiously:

"Mr. Drake, how did you become an Awakener?"

"..."

After being asked by Wickner, Lindsay remembered that she also had the setting of being an autonomous awakener.

But this time, before he could answer, familiar footsteps sounded on the rear deck.

Explorer Lei Ze came to the bow of the ship.

He heard the conversation between the two and stepped forward to rub Wekner's hair:

"Boy, if you want to become an awakener, my suggestion is to go to a big city."

"It's better to be the main city of the world!"

"The number of awakened people in those places far exceeds that in ordinary areas, and the source of matter is also more active. Whether it is luck or other methods, ordinary people have a greater chance of becoming awakened."

Wickner's expression was a little depressed and nervous:

"But, I have been in the Forest Garden since I can remember, and I have never left here."

Lei Ze immediately put forward a plan and gave some suggestions:

"Go to Yaoyue City. There is a teleportation array you can use there."

"In the next four years, you can live frugally and save money to use the teleportation array; or you can find opportunities to follow the merchants. In short - as long as you work hard, there is still a chance."

Lei Ze said a few words to Wekner, and then turned his attention to Lindsay.

The explorer's tone also became serious:

"I'm going to let the fleet dock this afternoon."

"On the one hand, we need to explore the current situation of the forest, and at the same time, we need to replenish supplies."

Lindsay understood:

"Do you need me to lead a hunting team?"

Lei Ze nodded and said:

"Yes, please."

Lindsay waved her hand nonchalantly:

"Since you are in the team, you should always take responsibility."

While talking, Lindsay adjusted the equipment column and put on a new set of armor for herself.

[Armor: Viper Scale Armor]

[Provides primary defense ability, good resistance to cutting and slashing damage, and also provides low-level poison immunity effect. 】

[The armor woven from the scales of a snake-shaped monster is of moderate value. 】

The fleet has also been attacked by monsters in the past few days.

Just because they were sailing on the water, there were the most snakes among the attacking monsters.

The materials they contributed allowed Lindsay to successfully synthesize [Venomous Snake Scale Armor]. The effect of this piece of equipment is to be directly immune to low-level toxins, which is not inconsistent with [Forest Brooch]'s ability to increase toxin resistance.

That afternoon.

The fleet docked for rest as planned.

Lindsay also took the awakened people into the forest for hunting.

The changes in the forest were still the same as a few days ago, and they had not subsided at all.

Lindsay used skills to identify the plants during the hunt, and the information he got from the plants was the same, neither getting worse nor getting better.

That night, Lindsay returned with a full load of hunters.

At night, he roasted the pigeons he had caught during the day, and was about to start a small stove with Wickner. However, with his keen hearing, Lindsay heard a panicked and frightened voice in the cabin:

"Wayne, what's wrong with you?"

"Someone come quickly."

"Someone's been poisoned!"
