The food choices leaned towards bread and dried sea beast meat, with sweet sauce being reluctantly accepted. With no other options at the time, Wang Ya could only prepare a large quantity.
Wang Ya silently doubled the seven days' worth of preparation he said he was making, so that even if some irresistible force caused them to drift in the Endless Sea, he would still be able to last for a period of time.
Next, Wang Ya concentrated on meditating with the Great Sea Meditation in his room.
【Prompt: The second Wizard Rune of the Great Sea Meditation is currently being analyzed. Estimated completion time: 6 days 3 hours.】
His pupils flickered with tiny glints. Compared to the instant analysis of all information in the previous life's game, the Eye of Truth in the Wizard World was much weaker.
However, the effect it produced was a fundamental improvement for Wizards.
Researching various Transcendent knowledge and conducting experimental studies all required a large amount of time and effort.
Many Wizards often became failures because they ran out of time and couldn't perfect their Wizard path.
While meditating, he also let Harak go out to forage on his own, but strictly limited the range, not allowing him to exceed the Wizard Ship's safe distance, which was a hundred meters.
But several times, when sharing Harak's consciousness, he saw the dark, surging waves beneath the surface and the peering gazes. Even as a Transcendent Creature, Harak instinctively trembled.
Those were Transcendent Creatures more powerful than Harak.
Wang Ya found that this fragile balance was maintained; the hundred-meter range was extremely safe.
The Wizard Ship should be under the protection of Tuta the Wizard; even powerful Transcendent Creatures in the sea would not dare to invade.
It was just that the amount of food that could be captured was decreasing, which should be clearly visible from the food supply at the automated restaurant.
Normally, special lure devices at the bottom of the Wizard Ship would emit special pheromones to attract low-level sea beasts from the ocean, automatically hunting, processing, and materializing them.
With so many terrifying sea beasts gathered within a hundred meters, ordinary sea beasts' fear of death would outweigh the attraction of the pheromones.
Those sea beasts were hidden very deep, buried underwater, and without careful observation, nothing could be seen.
Harak's Transcendent vision naturally revealed the abnormalities, and the biological instincts also served as a warning.
However, if the sky falls, there will be a tall man to hold it up. As long as the Wizard Ship is fine, it's not the worst situation yet.
The terrifying aura emitted by Tuta the Wizard that night was particularly memorable.
Time passed, and a week went by.
The Wizard exchange meeting could no longer continue. The abnormality of the food gradually became apparent, and the Wizard Newcomers' own food began to run out.
Tuta the Wizard remained in the captain's cabin and gave no response.
The Wizard Newcomers also dared not go to the captain's cabin. Those who had the thought, upon stepping onto the red carpet, felt an extreme sense of fear and oppression that caused that Wizard Newcomer to tremble and directly kneel down.
He would die; if he went further, he would die!
Panic spread among the Wizard Newcomers.
Then conflict arose, for food.
The automated Wizard Ship, without Tuta the Wizard's command, would not open the deck.
With the ship's height of fifteen to twenty meters and the surging ocean of the Endless Sea, anyone brave enough to jump down would be foolishly brave.
So what to do when there's not enough food? They could only snatch it from others!
Comfortable days create seemingly beautiful support, but when the real blow comes, everything is revealed.
The door was kicked open, and the room was in a mess.
A young man with bruises on his face hugged Luo Weina's thigh, his face despairing, “Lord Luo Weina, I beg you, please don't take my food. It's my only food. Please have mercy!”
“They just took my food. If I don't have these foods, I will starve to death.”
Luo Weina's face showed hesitation, and his movements paused.
The hope on the bruised young man's face was once again trampled. A large hand forcefully snatched the white bread from his hand and kicked him.
His ribs felt as if they were about to break. He fell onto the floor, which was covered in messy books and papers, coughing hard.
His broken voice still pleaded, “Lord Luo Weina, Lord Arthur, no, please have mercy… the food…”
Luo Weina looked at Arthur, who had acted, in shock. The latter's face showed mockery as he said, “A Wizard Newcomer with such low aptitude is destined to be eliminated even if he goes to the Dark Wizard Academy.”
“Food is very precious now; it should be given to Newcomers like us with top aptitude.”
“But!”
“Luo Weina, the four of us are different from others; we have a higher status. There's only so much food, and who knows when we'll reach the Wizard Continent. One more portion of food means one less time we go hungry.”
Arthur kicked the young man's head, instantly knocking him out, and sneered, “Besides, didn't he agree?”
“What are you doing? Are you not done yet?” Ossen walked over, his eyes impatient under his purple bangs. He held large and small bags of food in his hands.
“Almost. We've searched everyone on this first floor. Those who aren't here probably ran to hide on the lower floors.” Arthur handed the food to Ossen.
“These guys sure run fast, but we need to hurry too. Who knows if some low-level Newcomer will lose his mind and try to eat or destroy the food.”
Arthur patted Luo Weina's shoulder and said with a smile, “Alright, the four of us are a team; other low-level Newcomers are not important at all.”
Luo Weina gradually adapted to the rhythm and nodded. At most, they would leave a little survival ration. Their survival was the most important thing.
“Hey, hey, why isn't Anna here?” Ossen said discontentedly.
“Anna is a girl after all. Let's leave this troublesome matter to us.” Arthur said with a generous smile, a fiery red figure appearing in his mind.
He had never wanted a woman so much. For Anna, he could be generous.
Ossen frowned. Seeing Arthur's face gradually turn cold, he reluctantly walked deeper into the cabin.
Their top aptitude made the four of them stronger than other Wizard Newcomers, even if none of them had mastered their first Newcomer Wizardry.
Under the influence of particle energy radiation, their physical strength would surpass that of Newcomers with low aptitude.
The clearing of the second floor was much slower than the first.
The Wizard Newcomers began to resist purposefully, but under the combined efforts of the three top-aptitude Newcomers, they were all suppressed.
Their physical strength and punches, even when exerted with full effort, couldn't withstand the force of the opponent's single punch. The disparity itself was evident.
A few Wizard Newcomers who had participated less in the Wizard exchange meeting and meditated more gave Arthur and the others a bit more trouble.
“There's still not enough food. If the four of us eat, it can only last for a month at most,” Ossen said with a frown.
Luo Weina suddenly recalled something and instinctively blurted out, “That day, it seemed like two Wizard Newcomers claimed a lot of food.”
Arthur's eyes lit up and he said, “Those two foolish guys.”
One more chapter later.
