Chapter 441: 424: Target: Dinosaur Island!

Translator: 549690339

Yi didn’t get out of bed until the afternoon.

Last night, he was constantly trying to get to Dinosaur Island, not sleeping until almost dawn.

There was progress: After personally causing six unfortunate incidents of amusement park staff falling to their deaths in hot air balloons, the idea of flying directly over in a hot air balloon had to be ruled out.

Although Yi and his friends’ actions seemed a bit inhumane, they were not unusual.

Because as they were throwing NPCs downwards, within their line of sight, NPCs were falling from the sky like dumplings from several hot air balloons...

The hot air balloons that didn’t throw park workers down were the real mavericks!

Yi and his friends’ actions were completely compliant and ordinary, nothing special at all.

But unfortunately, even if Yi, relying on his large fan base, really found players who could control hot air balloons in reality, they couldn’t fly wherever they wanted.

What a layman may not know is that hot air balloon control operates by adjusting altitude and riding different wind directions.

There are no steering wheels or jet engines.

The problem is: The amusement park hot air balloon project was designed for players to enjoy unique wilderness scenery by flying in the air, and the settings of wind direction were built around this concept.

In other words, no matter how the players operate, they cannot cross the mountain range.

Originally in players’ custom maps, that mountain range was the edge of a contiguous map, so hot air balloons naturally wouldn’t go near it, and the altitude is limited, so you can’t even see the ocean.

So everyone started to change their approach, trying to carry only the balloon envelope, burner, and propane tank to the cliff, and taking off while holding the envelope.

But suddenly, security stopped them.

After failing to break through by force, Yi tried reasoning.

Unfortunately, reasoning didn’t work either.

Finally, Yi had no choice but to adapt, coordinating with a few fans who dressed up in large cloaks, tied long belts, and even brought crutches into the amusement park.

Afterwards, they painstakingly broke off many branches from the forest and transported them all to the cliff.

Using branches, crutches, belts, shoelaces, coats, cloaks, and other materials, they made a crude glider.

With great excitement, Yi sprinted to the edge of the cliff, filled with the desire to fly, and without hesitation, leaped!

Almost immediately, he began plummeting almost vertically!

Even before hitting the ground, the crude glider fell apart in midair...

“Splat!”

Another soul was lost at the bottom of the cliff.

After that, they kept hauling materials, watching videos, and trying to improve the glider’s manufacturing process.

At the same time, there were not only Yi and his friends on the platform.

Many players were testing their own ideas; compared to complex gliders, more people were trying to use parachutes.

But parachutes are not considered clothes and cannot be brought in.

So they used different materials of clothes and belts to make makeshift parachutes.

In order to reduce the pressure on the parachute, some people even brought many umbrellas from the amusement park to help reduce the force of the fall.

The edge of the cliff turned into a dumpling pot, with people constantly jumping down, vanishing in a flash, and rushing back to busily try again.

The scene was both lively and absurd.

During this process, Yi really missed his modifying workshop in Night City.

If he had the workshop, he wouldn’t have to repeat the process of finding materials and starting from scratch to make a glider.

They wasted a lot of time and tried six times before logging off.

Five of them were complete failures.

One was an incomplete failure – the glider disintegrated at a lower position, and Yi didn’t die on the spot when he fell.

Seeing all the criticism in the group chat, Yi suddenly realized that the person who caused the most impact and destruction with this gadget seemed to be... himself...

Even the headphone store owner came to his live broadcast room to give gifts and thank him...

Yi silently closed the group chat, decisively ending this topic:

“What’s done is done; there’s no point in talking about it. We must look forward to the future!”

“Let’s go! The target: Dinosaur Island!”

Of course, the target was just a target. The real destination was still the small platform on the cliff.

Returning here, Yi found it even more bustling than before he went offline.

He climbed to the edge of the cliff and looked down: the beach was covered with wood materials of various thicknesses. It seemed like there was more than enough to make a few rafts.

Obviously, during the time he was sleeping, hardworking players had already solved the materials issue.

Upon getting up, Yi saw a group of “belt people” walking out of the hole – their bodies, from neck to shin, were all bound with belts.

Each person had about ten to twenty belts tied around their bodies.

“Is this a new trendy style? Rock? Gothic? Or erotic?” Yi was puzzled.

But he quickly understood that it was none of those!

These people just wanted to bring belts in, and once they arrived, they all untied them and then tied them together, trying to “rappel” down the cliff using their makeshift ropes.

Yi didn’t pay much attention and continued to make gliders with several teammates.

After a while, as these people were almost done tying their ropes and were preparing to send someone down, a person walked out of the hole.

This person was none other than William who had come at the news.

He was wearing lightweight sportswear, a sturdy safety belt around his waist, and various tools were attached to his belt: magnesium powder, buckles, hoop earrings, expansion anchor ladders, rock cracks, and so on.

But most importantly, what caught the attention of everyone present was the thick bundle of climbing ropes he had on him.

Out of habit, William had put on a full set of rock climbing gear.

He didn’t know that some things couldn’t be brought in. It wasn’t until he entered the amusement park that he found his rock hammer and driller had disappeared.

William didn’t mind since the worst-case scenario was climbing with bare hands, which was not something he hadn’t done before.

However, everyone present, including Yi and his teammates, who had seen the bundle of climbing ropes, looked down at their shoelaces and belts and fell into contemplation.

But they didn’t ponder for more than a few seconds. They all looked up again and glanced at the group of people making ropes out of belts.

Their eyes were full of concern.

William, in turn, looked around at everyone’s tools and then at the rope on his body, suddenly understanding something.

He looked at all the players present with a caring gaze: “Why don’t you guys use ropes?”

“Damn!” A few people immediately cursed, logged off on the spot, jumped back to Metropolis through the login space, and went to buy climbing ropes.

Who knew that you couldn’t bring in ropes directly, but you could if they were tied to climbing tools?!

After gaining some unwanted attention, William quickly found a rock at the entrance of the cave, fixed the rope, and threw the whole bundle of ropes down the cliff.

Peering over the edge, even the longest 60-meter climbing rope from an outdoor shop was far from reaching the bottom.

It was even quite a bit short of reaching the nearest platform where one could briefly stop.

However, William was not worried. He still had his climbing tools!

Emboldened by his great skill, he didn’t bother with more safety measures, grabbed the rope, wrapped it around his waist, and started rappelling right away.

The players who remained on the platform looked at each other, and without saying a word, they reached a consensus.

And so, William, who had just descended 10 meters, suddenly felt the rope in his hand shaking violently!

“Holy shit!”

The exclamation had just left his mouth when the rope slipped right out of his hand!

Because he was too lazy to take more safety precautions, William had no chance to save himself after the rope slipped out of his hand. He was yanked by the rope, spun around in the air, and then began to fall vertically down!
