ca-book Chapter 21 Storage Box
Chapter 21 Storage Box
When sailing at sea, especially when everyone is traveling along the same route,
No matter how large the sea area covered by this route is, as long as the course and target area are roughly the same, sooner or later you will encounter the same kind.
This presents both an opportunity and a risk.
You might encounter allies with whom you can exchange resources and share intelligence; more likely, you'll encounter treacherous predators who see others as mobile resource packs.
As they drew closer, Yu Wang discovered that the raft was much larger than the level 0 beginner raft he remembered. The timbers were arranged more neatly, and the edges seemed to have been reinforced.
In the very center of the raft, a rainbow-colored parasol was being held up!
"Sunshade... This is a [Simple Sunshade] expansion that can only be built on a level 1 raft. The rainbow-colored canopy is probably due to the addition of rainbow yarn. It has the special function of maintaining rationality and accelerating mental recovery." Yu Wang's eyes flickered slightly as he made a judgment in an instant.
Putting aside the special effects of rainbow parasols...
Even a regular sun umbrella can shield you from the scorching sun, cool you down, prevent heatstroke, and reduce the evaporation of body water, making it a decent survival aid in the early stages.
On the third day after the game starts, if someone manages to upgrade their raft to level 1 and unlock expansion buildings, they are either extremely lucky, finding blueprints in wooden crates and having no shortage of basic resources; or they are quite capable, obtaining rare items by killing monsters. In any case, they can be considered among the 'upper-middle tier' survivors at present.
Yu Wang narrowed his eyes slightly, not taking immediate action, but observing quietly.
Under his control, the Little Yellow Duck aimed its bow "water cannon" at the raft, maintaining a vigilant posture.
On the third day of the game, the survivors still retain the clean background of a peaceful society, and theoretically the probability of a direct violent conflict is not high.
However, "theoretically" does not equal "absolute," so it's always good to be cautious.
Under the absolute temptation of survival resources and the pressure of extreme environments, the collapse of humanity can happen in the blink of an eye.
In his past life, he had seen too many examples of people who were initially righteous but turned their backs on him in the blink of an eye. There were also many top fleets that broke up because of this!
Yu Wang did not let his guard down and kept the "water cannon" at the bow of the boat aimed at the raft.
If this had happened three years after the survival game started, and they had just come at us without warning, we would have been shot by cannons long ago.
But this is the early stage of the game, and many unspoken rules haven't been revealed yet. It wouldn't be good if we accidentally hurt someone.
Although Yu Wang had countless lives on his hands, he would never kill innocent people indiscriminately.
The colors of the "Little Yellow Duck" are really too eye-catching at sea.
The raft seemed to have spotted the "Little Yellow Duck" at dawn and was approaching before Yu Wang woke up. Because it was a small target, it was not discovered by Duck A and Duck B until it was only three nautical miles away.
Without their warnings, Yu Wang might not have noticed until the other party was right up against him.
The distance between the two boats gradually decreased: one kilometer, five hundred meters, three hundred meters...
When the distance closed to only a hundred meters...
Yu Wang's eyesight was already good enough to see the situation on the raft clearly.
A young woman who looked not very old and had a thin build stood on the raft.
She wore a white cropped top, revealing a faint dark pink birthmark on her stomach, and denim shorts that showed off her tanned waist and long legs. The sea breeze ruffled her slightly messy long hair, revealing a pretty face with a friendly air.
Her eyes were bright, and she was openly scrutinizing the "Little Yellow Duck" and Yu Wang at the bow of the ship.
The two ships drew closer, coming to within 10 meters of each other.
When the woman noticed that Yu Wang was also looking at her, a warm smile immediately bloomed on her face. She waved vigorously at Yu Wang and called out in a clear voice:
"Wow! What an adorable boat! It's even shaped like a little yellow duck! How interesting!"
Her tone was filled with undisguised surprise and curiosity, as if she had simply stumbled upon something interesting and novel, like a little sister next door:
"Hi! Hello! I've been adrift at sea for three days, and I've finally met a living person! I'm so bored!"
She waved and shouted, her cropped top revealing the full pink birthmark next to her navel.
That wasn't a birthmark, but a cartoon rabbit head tattoo.
call out--!!!
A pale blue compressed water jet burst from the cannon's muzzle, instantly tearing apart the woman's smiling face.
Red, white, and bone fragments mixed together, spraying outwards in a radial pattern, staining the rainbow-colored parasol behind her with large patches of hideous filth!
The immense impact caused the bewildered woman's body to fall backward, landing heavily on the rough deck of the raft with a "thud".
The arm swung out due to inertia, revealing what had been tightly clenched in the palm of the hand and deliberately hidden at the side.
Yu Wang steered his boat closer and discovered that it was a needle-like object about five centimeters long, red and white striped, with a sharp tip and hollowed-out patterns at the base.
Based on the pattern at the base, Yu Wang recognized it as the spine of the Ghost Lionfish even before he had it appraised by the game!
Extremely poisonous! After being stung, the toxin spreads rapidly, causing the victim to become paralyzed throughout their body. They then endure excruciating pain for 7 to 10 hours, ultimately dying from respiratory muscle paralysis and suffocation!
In the early stages of the game, without a specific antidote, death is almost certain!
She could have hidden it better, but her little actions were unnecessary.
Of course, what truly made Yu Wang fire his ire wasn't the reflection from the tips of the spines on the back of the demon lionfish, but rather the tattoo on the woman's stomach.
In his previous life, he had heard of a female serial killer in Division 444 nicknamed "Smiling Rabbit," who used her harmless and innocent appearance and lively and cheerful personality as a disguise to actively approach other survivors at sea.
She first gained the other party's trust by offering to share supplies and travel together, thus closing the distance between them, and then killed and robbed them when they were not paying attention!
Because of its ruthless methods and secretive actions, it developed extremely quickly in the early stages of the game and accumulated a large amount of bloody capital.
A few survivors who managed to escape from her mentioned a detail: the woman had a rabbit head tattoo near her navel!
As for whether it was a realistic rabbit head or a cartoon rabbit head, Yu Wang did not investigate further at the time, treating it as just one of countless rumors.
In that instant, Yu Wang noticed the tattoo and remembered the rumor, so he acted decisively!
Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!
On this sea where survival is war, to harbor even the slightest侥幸 (a sense of侥幸, a feeling of being lucky or lucky) about potential deadly threats is to be extremely irresponsible towards one's own life!
With the captain dead, the raft was left unprotected.
Yu Wang calmly steered the "Little Yellow Duck" slowly closer until it gently touched the raft. Holding a crab claw and harpoon, he cautiously leaped onto the other raft and began searching for his spoils.
The first target was that eye-catching rainbow sunshade.
He stepped forward, forcefully pulled it off its fixed position, took a screenshot of its attributes, and then listed it on a trading platform, priced at 4 empty core fragments. The price was a bit high, leaving plenty of room for negotiation.
The cockpit of the "Little Yellow Duck" has its own roof, so it doesn't need to be used for sun or rain protection.
Next, Yu Wang opened the [simple storage box] located in the center of the raft. The inside of the storage box, like the cabin, consisted of small spaces where items could be stacked.
The box wasn't big, only about the size of a bedside table, but the supplies inside caught Yu Wang's eye!
【矿泉水（500ml）x6，康师母泡麵X7，石块193、木材x150，塑料片x320，纤维团x170，橡胶X5、金属零件X8、生鱼肉x30、鬼面狮子鱼（残缺）X1、空核碎片X2、3珍珠币】
In addition, although there is relatively little wood in the [Simple Storage Box], you can still get 200 units of wood by breaking down the raft!
Murder and arson bring wealth and power!
"A bumper harvest of basic supplies!" Yu Wang was thrilled!
The Smiling Rabbit had clearly plundered other survivors and accumulated a considerable amount of wealth, including fragments of empty cores, which it has now all benefited itself!
"If we get just one more basic energy core, we can build the 'Turbo Duck' expansion module today! And with a few more basic materials, we can upgrade to Tier 2!"
Upgrade your ship to Tier 2 on the third day of the game!
In my previous life, Yu Wang wouldn't have dared to even dream of such a thing!
