Chapter 824: They Are Playing Games
Time passed quickly, and before we knew it it was April 15, 2016.
Lin Feng set foot on this nameless island, and more than a month had already passed.
Although there were Witch Tribe Bracelets, the reception work still took Lin Feng over a month to complete.
Huang Ziping and Yang Yi arrived on the island with their subordinate team a month ago and began researching the island's system.
The fog over the island cleared.
The sky was a deep blue.
The sea surface was also very calm.
A gust of wind blew, and a "whoosh" sound rang in the ears.
Lin Feng sat on a massive rock at the island's highest point, looking down at the crescent‑shaped island.
The only thing that displeased him was that the island seemed too desolate.
Amid countless wrecked ships and aircraft debris, it felt even more deadly silent.
Because of its crescent shape, Lin Feng named the island Yue Ya Dao.
Not even a seabird would land on the island.
The environment on Yue Ya Dao is a completely different world from the outside.
The Witch Tribe devoted massive resources and wisdom to the island to safeguard their safety.
The whole island has a relationship with Earth's magnetic field akin to that between magnets, creating a powerful energy field between them.
This causes a localized spatial distortion.
Moreover, the energy of this spatial distortion is not fixed. Qianqian Moho
In other words, Yue Ya Dao is not fixed in one position.
It will shift its location in the ocean as time and Earth's magnetic field change.
Because of its shifting position and strong magnetic field, the climate around the island constantly changes.
Any ship, aircraft, communication system, or even electronic device that approaches the island will be interfered with.
The accumulation over thousands of years means that ships, aircraft, and submarines appear around the island much later.
Yet over the past few hundred years, there have still been many.
Those who inadvertently wander onto the island do not all die instantly.
To prevent surviving humans from discovering and destroying the island's defense systems, traps are scattered throughout.
The reason Yue Ya Dao was discovered is still due to insufficient energy.
The lack of energy weakens its interaction with Earth's magnetic field, greatly shortening the distance it moves and lowering the frequency.
In a few more years, it will become a massive floating island fixed in the ocean.
After a long time, it will gradually sink into the seabed thousands of meters deep.
It is worth noting that because it moves, the island's underside is not connected to the sea floor.
Although Lin Feng has mastered the island's system, he does not understand the principle behind the Witch Tribe's creation of the island.
Given current human technology, it is unknown how many more years of research are needed to comprehend it.
Lin Feng furrowed his brows, thinking that he would need to recruit more talent and invest more funds to crack the Witch Tribe's technology.
"What are you thinking?"
Suddenly, Qi Yao's voice sounded.
Lin Feng gave a slight smile, turned, and pulled Qi Yao, who was standing behind him, into his arms.
"Someone's here!"
Qi Yao felt a little embarrassed.
The "someone" she referred to were Lin Shiyi, Lin Chang'e, and Lin Jingru.
The three youngsters had come together with Qi Yao.
Lin Shiyi, wearing baggy trousers, turned his head and stared at the distant sea.
Lin Chang'e's eyes were wide open.
Unfortunately, Qi Yiniang quickly wriggled out of her father's arms.
Lin Jingru reluctantly put down her phone.
"Actually it's nothing; being affectionate in front of the children makes them happy."
Lin Feng said with a smile.
Children feel more secure when they see their parents getting along well.
In families where the parents' relationship is not harmonious, constantly arguing or even fighting, children have no sense of security at all.
Afraid that one day the parents might separate, and they wouldn't know what to do.
Lin Shiyi, Lin Chang'e, and Lin Jingru came to report their work.
"Everyone, come over!"
Lin Feng said lightly.
The three—Lin Shiyi, Lin Chang'e, and Lin Jingru—walked up to Lin Feng.
"Dad!"
The three called out in unison.
Lin Feng hummed and nodded.
Lin Shiyi began his report: "I have already compiled a software that maps the terrain around the island and the range of its positional changes."
With this software, one can instantly know the island's current location.
After more than half a month of observation, we found that the island's movement speed is decreasing at a rate of 0.5 meters per hour.
At this speed, at most three years later, Yue Ya Dao will stop and no longer move.
I don't know if Dad has thought of another point.
That is, the current structure of this island is a metal framework with sand and stone as its skin; once it loses energy, it will not just stay in place or sink,
it will simply fall apart."
"Not bad! Lin Shiyi, you could think of this point—very impressive!"
Lin Feng patted Lin Shiyi on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Next up is Lin Chang'e.
Lin Chang'e said, "Dad, all the unrelated people on the island have been cleared out. Dai Chengliang and Sun Dang's group are hard at work!"
After saying that, Lin Chang'e gave a hehe laugh.
The work she referred to is serving as a laborer, clearing the wrecked ships on the island.
Lin Chang'e's main job now is security on the island.
As for Lin Jingru,
When Lin Jingru reported, she took out a small notebook from her pocket.
"Dad, the gold, jewels, antiques, etc., have basically been cleared. In total we obtained 3,255 tons of gold, various high-grade jade stones, jadeite raw stones—over 500 tons, 13,225 jade articles, over 123,000 valuable porcelain pieces, and over 1,200 tons of spices."
"Among them, the most valuable is dragon saliva incense—12 tons—and we also found a large amount of golden-thread nanmu, totaling over ten thousand pieces."
"How much are these worth?"
After Lin Jingru finished her report, Lin Feng asked.
Lin Jingru shook her head and said, "I haven't started calculating yet! Because the cleanup isn't finished, we can tally it at the latest by the end of the month."
"Well done!"
Lin Feng smiled and nodded.
Lin Feng assigned these tasks to the three kids because giving them work keeps them out of trouble.
Since the Enhancer matter was exposed, the world has changed greatly.
It's changed to the point that Lin Feng almost doesn't recognize it.
One could say that since the end of 2016, the various major events in the world have become completely different from Lin Feng's memory.
But it's all right; by now Lin Feng has become strong enough that he no longer needs the help of his past-life memories.
After the changes, the world feels fresher to Lin Feng.
"Dad, that woman went to look for Mom."
Lin Chang'e pouted and said.
The woman Lin Chang'e referred to is Jing Wu.
After meeting Lin Chang'e once, Jing Wu disappeared.
A few days later, she appeared in front of Mei Wu.
Then Lin Feng put Jing Wu's matter aside.
"What are those two up to?"
Lin Feng asked casually.
Lin Chang'e said, "They stay home all day watching TV and movies, and lately they've gotten into playing games."
"What games?"
Lin Feng asked curiously.
Lin Chang'e shrugged and said, "Mom just likes the movies and games from Little Japan."
"Er~"
Lin Feng froze for a moment, then hurriedly said, "This is your mom trying to find a way to keep Jing Wu; you guys must not ruin her big plan, got it?"
Lin Chang'e laughed and said, "I already knew! Mom's amazing—she turned that woman into a homebody, haha!"
