Renn, 16 years old, is a member of the Hobo family of the Kingdom of Herman.
He was arrested for refusing to comply with military service, repeatedly contradicted the Kingdom's military recruiters, and was sentenced to exile in the Sea of Despair, barred from entering the Kingdom of Herman for life.
The Hermann Kingdom's airship dropped Renn in the Sea of Despair, and landed on a big rock in the endless soft sand, dying on the spot.
Therefore, the self that traveled through time just happened to occupy this body, transforming from Ren from Earth to Ren Hooper from another world.
Coincidentally, the time traveler is also named Lei En, but his surname is Lei, and his last name only contains the character "En".
Maybe it's not a coincidence. Maybe when he traveled through time, the system had already selected Ren in the other world. Knowing that he was bound to die, he allowed himself to occupy this body.
[System] Renn Hopper was exiled to the Desert Sea of Despair. Please go east through the desert to find an environment suitable for survival and start your journey to a different world!
Hearing the buzzer ringing in his ears, Ren stood up unsteadily, feeling dizzy.
Say "map" silently, and a transparent virtual screen immediately appears in front of you, with a huge map interface on it.
It's just that the entire map is black. Except for a small light spot at his location, which shows the sea of despair, the rest of the map is shrouded in the fog of war.
As a time traveler, Wren's Golden Finger is the stand-alone sandbox game system that I was playing before traveling through time. The settings are exactly the same as the game. The map is shrouded in the fog of war in places not reached, and you must enter the area to unlock the range map.
Now there is only a map view of an area of the Desert Sea of Despair, and there are no landmarks in the desert area. Apart from its own icon, nothing can be seen on the entire map.
"The beginning is hell mode! There is nothing, do we have to go out of the desert?" Ren glanced around, and the faint bones in the desert proved that more exiles had died here.
[System] You are injured and must be treated in time!
There was no need to summon the character interface at all. Ren could feel the severe pain in his head and the hot blood flowing down his cheeks.
The original owner of the body fell from a high altitude and hit his head on a big rock. His head was already broken.
Dizziness is caused by head injury and constant bleeding.
In order to avoid dying soon after crossing over, Renne must bandage the wound to stop the bleeding.
For ordinary people, falling in the desert and suffering such a severe head trauma, there is basically no way to survive.
Fortunately, Ren brought a golden finger and was transformed into an existence similar to a game character in the moment of time travel. He can use the system functions to save himself. Even if he is more seriously injured, even if his HP is only 1 point, as long as he is treated in time, he will be healed quickly.
recover.
As long as the HP is not reset to zero, everything will be fine.
There was no hemostatic medicine or bandage on his hand, so fortunately it was not a problem for him.
Although the prison uniform he was wearing was thin, he could tear it into pieces and make the simplest bandage.
Rough prison clothes and prison pants were the only possessions on his body.
Ren took off his clothes, tore them apart, made them into strips of linen, and bandaged his head wound.
The bandaging technique was not professional. Although it was a bit ugly, it at least stopped the bleeding successfully.
There are some rags left, put them in the virtual backpack for temporary storage, they can be used in many places.
After taking care of the wound, look up at the scorching sun.
It should be morning, the sun has just risen, and it already feels like the majesty of the scorching summer.
It's hard to imagine the temperature at noon. The sand is already a little hot now. As an exiled prisoner, he doesn't even have shoes, so he will definitely be extremely hot by then.
Walking out into the desert barefoot? Not a good idea!
Also, if you tear up your prison uniform and walk shirtless in the desert, you will get sunburned quickly.
So he turned his attention to the faintly visible bones in the sand not far away, hoping to find something that could be used.
He staggered to the nearest position and gently peeled away the sand. It turned out to be a human skeleton inside.
【Exile's Bones】 is displayed and can be searched.
Touching corpses is the most basic operation to obtain loot in the game.
Renn bowed his hands to the skeleton several times and said, "Don't blame me if you are weird!"
Then start searching.
[System] You have obtained the prisoner's top!
[System] You have obtained prisoner pants!
The item obtained from the skeleton is also the Exile's two-piece set.
Although the durability of the equipment is not high, it is better than nothing.
If you wear a top, at least you won't be afraid of getting sunburned, and the pants can be torn into linen.
I searched for other skeletons nearby, and found that they were basically two-piece suits of prisoner jackets and prisoner pants, with no other props.
After searching for the last skeleton, a pair of linen shoes finally appeared.
I quickly put it on, it felt much more comfortable now, and I was finally not afraid of walking barefoot in the hot sand.
With so many skeletons, Ren knew why it was called the Desert of Despair.
I am afraid that only a handful of the exiled prisoners will be able to leave alive.
It is even suspected that these bones were dropped to death intentionally by the guards, so they are all nearby.
No matter what, Renne must leave the Sand Sea of Despair.
In my previous life, I died suddenly at a young age. I finally got a chance to be reborn. I came to another world and got the system. It must not be in vain!
He wants to live well in this different world and understand everything here!
Although the Sand Sea of Despair is terrifying, as long as you make good use of the sandbox game system, you will definitely be able to escape and reach a place suitable for survival!
Logically speaking, basic tools should be made at the beginning of a sandbox game to facilitate the collection of materials to help survive.
But at a glance in the desert, there is nothing but sand.
As for those big "stones", they are actually made of weathered sand and cannot be used to make basic tools.
So all Renn could do was go east and cross the desert as quickly as possible.
He hoped to get out of the yellow sand and at least find an oasis before he died of thirst, starvation, or exhausted his physical strength. He did not want to become one of the many skeletons of exiles.
Although the virtual map does not show the areas shrouded in the fog of war, it does have the most basic east-west, north-south direction guidance. Renne can judge whether he has gone in the wrong direction through his movement route on the virtual map.
Keep walking towards the east, and at noon the sun is indeed more intense and the temperature is higher.
Even wearing linen shoes you can feel the hot sand.
Under this situation, he wanted to dig a hole underground to escape the scorching heat like in the game. But he couldn't do it with his bare hands without tools. What's more, the sand was hot, as if it had been fried in an iron pot, and he didn't dare to reach out.
bump.
We had no choice but to continue walking eastward despite the scorching heat, hoping to find a place where we could avoid the sun and rest in a relatively cool place.
Thinking this way, I walked for several hours. Apart from yellow sand, was there anywhere I could rest?
It is indeed a hell-level spawn point, really terrible!
After walking for a day, Ren was hungry, thirsty, and exhausted. He felt like his face was sunburned and he suspected that he was about to be roasted.
Finally, I found a stretch of Gobi desert ahead. Although there were only "hills", at least there were places to hide from the sun and rest temporarily.
