"I don't like how they drip-feed us information when it's so easy to put it in plain English. Enjoy, y'all." "My treasure? If you want it, I'll give it to you. Go find it! I've put everything in the world there!" The Pirate King, who had advertised to the whole world, had just died, heralding the advent of the Great Pirate Era. The lumberjack on Red Leaf Island looked at the newspaper...
Haiyuan calendar 1499
The first half of the Grand Line, Red Leaf Island.
The island got its name because its shape resembles red leaves and there is an abundance of a kind of tree with red leaves on the island.
The people of Hongye Island are simple and honest, and nearly half of them are professional lumberjacks and gardeners who plant red leaf trees.
Because of the climate, this special plant, the red leaf tree, seems to grow very well on their island.
Red leaf trees that have reached a certain age are excellent wood for making ships, so most of the residents of Red Leaf Island make a living from them.
In a red leaf forest near the sea, a black-haired young man was wielding an axe in his hand, desperately attacking the thick red leaf trunks in front of him.
However, it seemed that he lacked skills, or the axe in his hand was always not working for him, as each of his heavy blows failed to hit the same spot accurately.
For a native resident of Red Leaf Island, you may not be able to drink or brag, or wield a gun or a stick, but the skill of felling trees must be at least proficient.
If there were no one else around, Wood's tree-cutting skills would have been laughed at by the residents of Red Leaf Island, who would have said he was not as good as an underage child.
Wood is already fifteen years old this year, which should be considered an adult in this world.
As for the logging skills that are basically mastered by the residents of Red Leaf Island, Wood's current skills are indeed not as good as those of some younger children.
ut this cannot be blamed on him, because Wood is not from this world.
In other words, his body was indeed a native of Red Leaf Island Wood, but his inner soul had changed.
"Ding, I have completed chopping down trees a thousand times and cut down five red-leaf trees. The result is average, and the mission is completed.
Congratulations on your chance to use the Life Simulator."
That's right, Wood is a time traveler, and he also has the "plug-in" that a time traveler must have. This plug-in is a small program game that was quite popular before Wood traveled through time, called Life Simulator.
The reason why Wood had been working so hard to cut trees was not because he wanted to get rich from this. After all, he was not the bald strong man who was chased and crushed by two bears in the forest every day.
He chose to do this entirely because of the task assigned to him by the system.
Mission Name: Lumberjack of Red Leaf Island
Task requirements: Use the designated axe to chop down the red-leaf trees a thousand times. The more red-leaf trees you chop down, the higher the evaluation will be.
The task completion standard is that the task evaluation is at least medium or above, and there is no time limit.
Mission Reward: Open a life simulation opportunity
(ps: Be thankful, this is a well-known welfare task link, don't think that future tasks will be so simple.)
Seeing the prompt that the task was completed, Wood finally put down the axe in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
His still tender hands felt a little weak from holding the axe for a long time, and even had a lot of blisters.
The system claimed that this task was simple and was just a welfare activity prepared for novices, but Wood completely disagreed with this.
God knows how many days he has been cutting down trees in this mangrove forest.
From the beginning when he even held the axe in the wrong posture to now completing the task, Wood had been cutting mangroves for more than three months!
At the beginning, with Wood's physical condition, he couldn't even swing the axe a thousand times a day. It took Wood more than a month to barely reach the standard.
In the remaining two months, although Wood achieved the target of swinging the axe a thousand times a day, he either cut down a single mangrove or none at all.
Since he could not achieve the average task evaluation, the task could not be completed, so after that, Wood could only numbly repeat the task of chopping trees every day.
And thanks to the special characteristics of this world, or in other words, the people in this world are generally stronger in physique and recovery ability than those in the original world. Even if Wood is exhausted every day, he can be resurrected full of energy the next day.
Moreover, this task has no time limit, otherwise the seemingly simple tree-cutting task would be extremely difficult for Wood.
It has actually been more than a year since Wood came to this world, but the system was activated half a year ago.
When Wood first traveled through time, he didn't know what world he had come to. However, because the people of Red Leaf Island were simple and honest and there were no high-energy beings on the island, Wood once thought that he had come to an ordinary and peaceful world.
Although the technology in this world may be much behind that of Wood's previous world, the original ecological life and unpolluted air also make Wood feel quite relaxed.
Just when Wood thought that he could make a living and live a peaceful life with the advanced knowledge from his previous life, a piece of news that resounded across the ocean disrupted Wood's original plans for a bright future.
"Do you want my treasure? If you want, I can give it all to you. Go find it! I put all the treasures there."
In the newspaper delivered by the news bird, a man with black hair, kneeling on the execution platform but with a calm face, occupied the headline of the newspaper, and the length of the article was more than half of the newspaper.
In the year 1498 of the Sea Circle Calendar, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was executed, but his words before his execution stirred up the entire ocean and attracted countless people to rush to the sea. The world also ushered in the so-called "Great Pirate Age"!
At the same time, it was because of this report that Wood finally realized what kind of world he had come to.
This isn't a peaceful world at all, and it's not like there aren't any high-energy beings in this world. It's just that the place where he was born is basically full of weaklings!
The demise of Roger heralded the beginning of the "Great Pirate Era", and only a few months later, the tide of the era had already reached Red Leaf Island where Wood was.
There is no other reason. The great era of pirates has arrived. If people want to go to sea, they must build ships.
In addition to shipbuilders, shipbuilding also requires high-quality wood.
Unfortunately, the red trees on Red Leaf Island are one of the best shipbuilding materials. So under the tide of the times, a large number of pirates flocked to this island.
The residents of Red Leaf Island, who are used to a peaceful life, have no power to resist the vicious pirates.
Within a month, three waves of pirates arrived and looted most of the residents' homes of high-quality wood.
Because Wood had no previous experience in logging, his family was spared the disaster.
The pirates not only robbed the resources on the island, but also killed people if they disagreed with each other. Once, Wood witnessed a little girl about to die tragically in front of him. He couldn't bear it, so he mustered up the courage to secretly backstab a pirate minion, and finally activated the current system.
