That's right, through the wooden door in the room, the vast and turbulent sea outside can be clearly seen.

Although Level 7 still has a large unexplored area, it is theoretically composed of two rooms: the entrance room and the "room" containing the ocean, with the latter's concrete ceiling suspended high above the water.

His current location is the entrance room, a house built on the 'ceiling'.

The direction of gravity in the entrance room is different from other areas of this level, so when a Wanderer approaches the doorway, he will be caught by the sudden change in gravity and fall into the ocean 'ahead'.

Yang Tao walked straight towards the door, and at about two meters from the door, he felt his body begin to fall towards the door, a feeling that was difficult to adapt to at once.

"The Backrooms levels are getting trickier; if a Wanderer who hasn't checked the data comes here, he'd fall down if he wasn't careful."

The gravity shift is instantaneous, giving you no time to react, just like an ordinary person walking and the path under his feet suddenly turns into a wall.

Yang Tao fell freely from the entrance room towards the boundless sea below, observing his surroundings at the same time.

The vast and turbulent sea was not empty but dotted with scattered islands, though these islands were mostly barren, showing no signs of vegetation; however, there were signs of human activity on the nearest island.

He summoned his magic broom.

Yang Tao flew directly towards that island.

On the island, there was a simply constructed shelter, made of stacked furniture and reinforced with tar, looking incredibly crude.

As soon as he landed on the island, he was surrounded by four or five people, armed with spears and crude flintlock guns.

"Leave here, you are not welcome here…"

A man of about fifty, his eyes filled with wariness and a hint of fear, with a red health bar of only 12 HP above his head, proved that he was not just speaking idly.

Yang Tao had also read information about this group of people.

According to rumors, the residents here are dedicated to worshipping the Level 7 creature and are hostile towards Wanderers.

"I just came to ask for some information about this world; you don't need to be so hostile."

"Shut up, you people never know what respect is; your arrival will only anger the powerful Level 7 Thing."

The man's emotions were clearly agitated, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the spear bulged.

"Stranger, leave this island; this is the last advice I can give you."

Yang Tao pouted, looking at the wary gazes and unfriendly expressions of these people, he didn't waste any more words with them, turned around, and walked towards the sea.

To their disbelief, Yang Tao stepped onto the sea, and a large amount of ice appeared under his feet, supporting his body as he walked deeper into the ocean.

[Frost Walker]

Frost Walker is an enchantment that allows players to form hoarfrost on water surfaces to walk on.

The highest level naturally obtained is II.

Yang Tao looked up at the entrance house not far away, took a bucket of magma from his backpack, and poured it directly onto the sea.

With a sizzling sound, a large amount of cobblestone appeared on the sea.

"First, establish my own outpost…"

From time to time, some things would drift over with the waves on the sea, mostly remnants of wooden furniture, and of course, some boxes.

Yang Tao surprisingly reached out and picked up the box stranded on the cobblestone.

"I really didn't expect that supplies would refresh here… But isn't the quality of this cardboard box excessively good? It doesn't deform at all even after soaking in seawater?"

[Blue almond water × 1]

[Scaraback × 1]

[Cream Puff × 8]

Yang Tao reached out and took the cream… no, the [Scaraback] from inside the box.

"How could this thing be here?"

Playing with the [Scaraback] in his hand, he felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

Encountering this in a supply box was no less than buying a lottery ticket and winning the first prize in another lottery, and when you take the ticket to redeem it, they actually pay you.

A Scaraback is a rough, dung beetle-shaped sculpted object, its surface very similar to lapis lazuli, but much darker blue than lapis lazuli.

Some are covered in white paint, some are intricately carved, or have a line of hieroglyphs inscribed on their base, usually quick prayers to the Egyptian god Khepri.

However, the [Scaraback] in Yang Tao's hand looked clean and plain, with no messy patterns on it, only some prayers carved at the bottom.

The Scaraback sculpture itself possesses vitality.

If a worshipper holding the base whispers to the sculpture, the Scaraback will spread its wings, emit a loud buzzing sound, and begin to continuously emit blue light, lasting for a full minute.

The blue light can stun some Entities that prefer darkness, and it also has the ability to repel Entities like Lightning in a Bottle.

However, it lacks the body enhancement.

Yang Tao threw the [Scaraback] into his backpack, a smile appearing on his face as he muttered to himself, "Am I somehow provoking another organization without realizing it?"

"Lost Clan… I hope they can be reasonable…"

In his mind, he could already see himself being forced by the 'Lost Clan' to hand over his [Scaraback], and having no choice, he had to desperately resist to protect himself and his property.

The use of a [Scaraback] as an amulet by a non-Lost Clan member is considered a severe offense against the organization.

Continuously using magma to expand the cobblestone island on the sea, a nearly thousand-square-meter platform soon appeared on the sea, though waves would occasionally bring some ocean debris onto the island.

Yang Tao walked to the edge of the 'cobblestone island', looked at the deep sea, and asked, "Are you Tiny?"

A health bar with 70,000 HP had been hovering around the 'cobblestone island'; it was hard for him not to notice it.

As his words fell, a head covered with a hard shell, with only two eyes exposed, emerged from the bottom of the sea.

Its eyes emitted a brilliant light—hmm, two LED light bulbs—but unlike the Smiler's, its eyes clearly allowed it to see more clearly in the deep sea.

"You are very special, who are you?"

Yang Tao was visibly stunned when he heard Tiny's words; for no other reason, he was just considering whether to pull out a business card and hand it to the other party.

After two seconds of thought, he still pulled out a golden business card and handed it to the other party.

"This is my business card, my name is on it."

Tiny: "..."

It had lived in Level 7 for a long time and had seen many humans and other existences, but this was the first time it had encountered someone who handed out a business card.

Hesitating for a moment, Tiny reached out and took the business card. Its palm was very flat, like a frog's, but the webbing between its fingers was not as exaggerated as a frog's, and there were some biological glowing spots on its arm.

"Yang Tao… why did you come to my world? Are you trying to contend for my domain?"

As Tiny questioned, it already held its weapon in its hand, as if ready to attack at any moment.

Yang Tao looked at it, a smile on his face, and said, "I just want to go to Level 8. To be honest, I'm not interested in the sea at all."

"Of course, if you want to experience the thrill of death, I will naturally satisfy you."

As he spoke, Yang Tao had already taken out a shotgun and pointed it at Tiny's armored head; after all, being pointed at with a spear made from a tooth was not a sign of peace.
