The game has become a real alternate world

Chapter 178: Awaiting the Blood Race's Onslaught



The datafication of the system and Experience Value allowed them to advance quickly, skipping the usual process.

Yet the inability to control Magic Power itself remains a reality; it's not a problem that can be solved by datafication of Characters.

After all, Kana's datafication system is an ultimate stripped-down version, only able to datafy the Attributes of Characters along with their equipment.

Without a Profession System, there's no way to help them quickly master Magic Power.

Originally, it was just a shard of the Stone of Creation; naturally, it can't cover everything.

The datafication of Characters and equipment, to some extent, already exceeds what a shard could achieve.

Kana's previous communication mainly inquired about whether, by using the shard to expand professions, he still needed to base it on his own profession.

After all, his profession is Blood Knight, in-game it doesn't matter, in reality, without that unique bloodline, it's simply impossible.

If so, he would have to spend extra energy to grant everyone this bloodline.

Wouldn't that just do the work of the Blood Race?

So, the answer was negative.

Because whether it is Kana's profession or others, these professions themselves already exist in reality.

Kana uses the Profession System merely to enhance existing professions in reality through datafication.

Just like how Characters and equipment are datafied.

The enhancement from datafication is where the Stone of Creation expends energy, not in truly creating a profession that doesn't already exist.

As for how many professions could be created, it depends on how much shard energy Kana holds at that time.

For now, he can only make a prediction.

Before obtaining the shard, he still has to conceive several professions suited to current conditions.

In any case, the shard in the Eastern Wilderness was completely gathered by the Night Watchers within about two months under Kana's Prophetic Vision advantage.

As for more, let's not risk our lives for now.

Afterward, just await the Blood Race's attacks as they begin their onslaught.

...

Coastal Fishing Village.

This is where Kana and the others landed.

But at this time, a seemingly rickety ship slowly approached from the distant coastline.

"It's the coast," said an Elf on the ship, delighted to see the shore.

Another Elf, wrapped in bandages, didn't look happy: "Don't be happy too soon; we don't know if we're out of the range of those monsters.

If after landing, a group of monsters awaits on the shore, we'll be cornered."

Being thrown cold water, the surrounding cheerful Elves suddenly became a bit somber.

Another Elf standing beside the cold-water-throwing Elf said, "Whether there are enemies or not, we have no choice.

Our compatriots need healing; half of us are injured, and quite a few are seriously injured, still lying in the cabin now.

We need to land and rest; this ship won't hold much longer.

Moreover, we are out of fresh water and food is scarce."

These are the harsh realities before them.

"...Let's land."

With the order given, the ship slowly headed towards the shore.

"There's someone," the Elf on lookout loudly reported from above.

Before those below could question, his voice turned somewhat excited: "I see them, they're not monsters; it's humans... seemingly human fishermen, and they have fishing boats."

Hearing this, all the Elves breathed a sigh of relief.

In such a situation, even information about humans is reassuring.

As the ship approached slowly.

The fishermen who were originally fishing had long abandoned ship and fled.

The ship reached the shore and anchored.

Some Elves who could still fight disembarked first, weapons in hand, and began surveying the surroundings.

Soon, soldiers led by several Knights surrounded them.

Upon seeing such a large ship docked and finding that those who disembarked were not of the Blood Race.

They appeared to be a group of beautiful humanoid beings, almost indistinguishable from humans, except they seemed taller and more attractive.

"They have pointed ears," a Knight keenly observed.

"Just pointed ears, that's normal, right?" another Knight said.

After all, there are talking rats, stout Dwarves, and even half-human, half-horse Centaurs.

To them, Elves with pointed ears and a pleasing appearance were evidently easier to accept.

Compared to the others, they were not strange at all, right?

"They're injured, let's check on them."

While the Knights approached to observe, these Elves were also observing them.

"Clad in heavy armor, riding fine warhorses; clearly part of a human elite Knight unit.

We must have reached some Kingdom, possibly the human Kingdom of Cohen as per the chart seen earlier; unexpected to have their city here?"

An Elf murmured at the sight.

After all, these Knights seemed to be members of some Lord's or city's Knight unit.

"Who are you? Did you encounter a shipwreck?" a Knight spoke.

Upon hearing this, the Elves visibly relaxed, as they understood the language.

"We were attacked by a group of monsters, creatures resembling giant upright wolves and massive bats.

Some enemies could even control blood; we barely escaped here," explained a seemingly more gentle Elf.

"The Blood Race? Did you encounter the Blood Race?"

"You know what those damned creatures are?" the leading Elf, who seemed like a captain, asked bluntly.

Listening to the Elf's tone, the Knight frowned.

In his mind, he had already labeled this Elf as nobility since the attitude mirrored that of nobles.

Even in such circumstances, still somewhat overbearing.

"That's right."

The earlier more gentle Elf stopped the captain, gesturing to handle the conversation himself.

"Let me communicate with them; you haven't dealt with humans much, so it's not quite right for you," he said.

"Alright, Heiswantha, I'll leave it to you then." Clearly, the captain knew he wasn't suited for this kind of communication.

Whether judging by tone or attitude, he was far better suited for interacting with these short-lived species.

While they conversed, the Knight evaluated the group and the battered large ship.

He assessed how many people the ship could roughly accommodate.

After calculations, he figured the ship could carry at least a few hundred people.

Hopefully, these people won't harbor too much malice.

After all, they have only just settled and built the village.
