Survival at Sea: My Warship is a Rubber Duck?

Chapter 30 Eagle Eye

Zhang Xinlan is also ambitious.

In the early stages of the survival game, because of her skills and equipment, she even fantasized a little that she was the "protagonist" of this survival game.

This motivated him greatly; besides expending his energy gathering resources each day, he would also deliberately save some energy for targeted training, such as imitating rowing movements and doing sit-ups.

And he was particularly farsighted in conserving his energy to prepare for the dangers of the night, for which he was quite pleased with himself.

However, when she browsed through the chat interface with a sense of superiority, she discovered that there were quite a few such "brilliant" people! They even knew that everyone has talent!

"Skilled hands," "iron stomach," "night vision," "experienced driver," "plant-based in-law"... all sorts of names, only she couldn't think of them!

In an instant, her "self-satisfaction" was shattered.

Now, a clear path to attribute improvement is right in front of you!

Although 7200 units of fish meat sounds like an astronomical number, as long as she has a goal and a stable exchange channel, she can work towards that goal!

This is much more motivating than the aimless and hopeless training I did before!

Don't open your mouth to hit a cockroach: "I understand, boss! Thank you for telling me all this! I'll take this deal! I'll do my best to get the raw fish! My talent is 'Eagle Eye,' which allows me to see clearly even in the dark, whether in the distance or underwater."

Based on the skill's effect, as long as Zhang Xinlan encounters a school of fish, she can cast her net at the correct location and quickly catch a large amount of fish.

She didn't fish extensively simply because the price of raw fish was too low right now.

She was a girl with slightly weaker physical strength, and her stamina was used up very quickly. She had to carefully calculate how to use every 0.1% of her stamina.

It's simply not worth the effort to cast nets and catch fish.

With that energy, you might as well go and grab a couple more supply crates.

Yu Wang glanced at the message Zhang Xinlan had sent, and recalled for a moment,

The skill "Eagle Eye" sounds familiar; I think I heard about it in my previous life. After racking my brains without finding a solution, I had no choice but to put my doubts aside for the time being.

You're in for a ton of luck: "Okay, looking forward to your first shipment. Be careful and act within your means."

Don't open your mouth to hit a cockroach: "Okay, thanks for your concern! Good afternoon!"

Even so, Zhang Xinlan did not go to rest immediately after ending her chat with Yu Wang.

She first splashed her face with the clear seawater to dispel some of her drowsiness.

He then kept his eyes fixed on the sea, waiting for schools of fish to pass by.

At that time, Yu Wang was in a good mood after ending his conversation with Zhang Xinlan, and he was still able to drive the boat with great energy.

The system's built-in nautical chart interface is displayed in front of you.

The cursor representing the Little Yellow Duck is steadily moving along a black dotted line against the azure background of the nautical chart.

By continuously reducing the scale of the nautical chart until the black dotted lines are almost invisible, and expanding the field of vision to a regional level, a much grander picture will emerge.

Not far from the cursor representing the Little Yellow Duck, there is a dark red dotted line that meanders like a giant python! That is the ancient sea route, which connects several mysterious seas in this world and is the main artery through which countless survivors rely for survival and exploration in the early stages.

Yu Wang had long since passed the stage where seeing ancient sea routes would make him feel insignificant and the world vast.

At this moment, he resembled a seasoned navigator, holding a virtual nautical chart and intently studying the details of the route and distances.

He silently calculated in his mind: "I was busy developing my character for the past two days, and I only traveled 1 nautical mile each day as required by the game, which is almost negligible. At my current speed of about 3 knots, it will only take 10 hours to reach the starting point of the treasure map route, Reef Island, which is 30 nautical miles away."

A little further on from Reef Island, the black dotted treasure map route and the dark red dotted ancient route will diverge.

He gestured with his finger on the virtual map, estimating its scale:

"After the two routes converge, I only need to travel for about 22 more hours to reach a total sailing distance of 100 nautical miles!"

That's when you'll encounter your first supply ship in this lifetime.

"The first supply ship I encountered in my previous life was a pleasure boat. I only had three pearl coins on me, enough to buy just one flower to help me sleep. I wonder what I'll encounter in this life. I really hope it's a hot pot restaurant..."

This thought made him subconsciously glance at the "Guodi Lao Hot Pot Single Set Meal Coupon" lying quietly in the cabin.

It's really frustrating to have a huge sum of money but not be able to spend it or convert it into cash.

"However, I also need to put saving money on the agenda. It would be interesting if the supply ship turned out to be a department store, bar, or clothing store, and I didn't have money to buy anything."

……

Most of the time is tedious, especially when the course is clear, the sea is calm, and there are no threats.

Yu Wang temporarily handed over the driving rights to Ya A.

With his hands free, he walked to the relatively spacious middle of the cabin, took out the reward of the [Premium Silk Bedding Set] from his backpack, and quickly laid out a simple makeshift bed for himself on the flat cabin floor.

Silk fabrics have a cool, smooth feel and a subtle, calming fragrance.

Therefore, even the slightly firm floor mat without a mattress was not so unbearable.

Then, Yu Wang sat down with his back against the cabin wall and took out the [Seaweed Farm Dungeon Entry Ticket] that he had exchanged with "Tired of Destruction".

He carefully read every word above, analyzing it in conjunction with his vague memories of his past life:

"Level 1 dungeon. According to the description, it's a combat-based clearing dungeon. You just need to kill all the sea urchins to clear it."

As Yu Wang looked at the dungeon description, images of this creature came to mind.

In the real world, sea urchins are often perceived as slow-moving creatures that believe in the principle that the best offense is defense, relying on their sharp spines to scare away predators.

They often move in groups of hundreds or thousands, and each individual can control any one of the spikes on its body.

However, humans can take advantage of their size and the protection of gloves to easily crack open sea urchins with appropriate tools, allowing other fish to eat the sea urchin meat and become beneficial insects on the seabed.

This impression gives survivors the feeling that they can easily deal with sea urchins as long as they have a long weapon like a harpoon.

In fact, it is not the case.

In the world of survival, the sea urchin family has achieved an incredible level of control over the spikes on their bodies.

These spikes can be launched like javelins for ranged attacks, or they can work together to clamp down on enemies like pliers! They can even easily crush bones!

Furthermore, their size far exceeds reality; they can easily grow to the size of a human brain.

If one is not careful, they will be surrounded and face the tragic fate of being pierced by thousands of thorns or crushed alive.

In the three years of my previous life, I heard about and experienced too many dungeons related to desire. Unless the content was particularly unique, the rewards were extremely special, or the difficulty was so insane that it left a deep impression,

Otherwise, after so many years, it would be difficult for him to dig out the specific details about this "seaweed farm" from the depths of his memory in a short time.

The only way to identify which sea urchins belong to the "Annular Spiny Sea Urchin" is by looking at the pattern on the surface of the "pass".

This type of sea urchin can grow up to the size of a football, has tiny barbs on its spines, and contains a poison sac inside; it is not edible.

"However, the instance has a 48-hour time limit, and there are still nearly 60 days until it expires, so there's no need to rush in."

Yu Wang pondered, "Going in now might yield limited benefits, and without an antidote, it could be dangerous and delay our voyage. It's best to wait until we have a full set of protective gear and an antidote before making a move."

……

As darkness fell, Yu Wang received a message from Zhang Xinlan.
