Chapter 2 First Kill of a Supernatural Creature

She quickly untied the ropes from the planks, used the planks to drive nails deep into another plank, and made a second plank weapon in the same way.

After doing all this, the deep blue manta ray recovered and overturned Chen Qing's raft.

Chen Qing was already prepared. The moment he fell into the water, he raised the plank with nails and slammed it heavily onto the deep blue manta ray.

The manta ray let out a shrill moan and immediately released electricity, jolting Chen Qing, who was feeling drowsy from the toxins and the heat, back to his senses.

She almost dropped the wooden board in her hand, but she quickly gripped it tightly, pulled on it, and scraped off two ounces of flesh from the deep blue manta ray.

The nails have a built-in tetanus buff, and the rust has seeped deep into the flesh, so the manta ray is not feeling well right now.

Chen Qing withstood the attack of the poisonous lightning. The nails on the wooden planks held the manta ray firmly, and the two planks took turns attacking the manta ray.

The manta ray was covered in wounds, and the blood seeped into the seawater.

Now it's a competition of who can hold out the longest.

Clearly, the manta ray didn't have Chen Qing's strong willpower, and soon, Chen Qing heard a notification sound.

Survivor Chen Qing has killed the G-rank creature, the Deep Blue Devil Fish, and gained 0.2 points.

[The survivor receives 1 reward point for their first kill of a G-rank creature.]

The first survivor to kill a G-rank creature in the game will be rewarded with a C-rank Dismantle skill.

The already dead deep blue manta ray sank into the deep sea. Feeling exhausted, Chen Qing mustered his strength, used the torn fishing net to catch the manta ray, and quickly floated to the surface.

There was only a bare raft on the water. Chen Qing didn't need to flip the planks over anymore. He laboriously dragged the fishing net and climbed onto the raft.

The manta rays in the water were extremely heavy, and the raft was about to sink as it carried them.

Chen Qing quickly opened the panel and scrolled to the section on allocating points to extraordinary abilities.

I only got 0.2 points for killing the G-rank manta ray, but fortunately, I got 1 point for the first kill.

Adding points can be divided into two directions: adding attribute points and adding evolution points.

Chen Qing has 1.2 points, which is enough to evolve the raft.

Open the raft's evolution menu, and the next evolution path for the raft is the basic ship, with more than a dozen evolution paths.

Covered boats, single-sail wooden boats, straw boats, leather boats...

The number of points required varies from 1 to 2.

After a moment's consideration, Chen Qing chose the awning boat, which only cost 1 point.

Although the boat wasn't very sturdy, at least it provided shelter from the wind and rain.

The moment she clicked "confirm," the points transformed into light, enveloping the entire raft. The raft twisted and stretched, instantly transforming into a small awning boat.

The awning boat is long and narrow with a low canopy, measuring over 5 meters in length and 2 meters in width.

The boat planks were covered with a layer of straw mats, and two oars were placed there.

There is nothing else.

[Unnamed awning boat]

Quality: White

Rating: None

Description: A small boat that can provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Evaluation: Unremarkable

With the remaining 0.2 points, Chen Qing spent 0.1 on the fishing net, managing to transform the damaged net into a perfectly intact one.

After fixing the hole in the fishing net, Chen Qing used his decomposition skill on the manta ray.

[Skill. Disassemble (Grade C): Can disassemble Grade C and below objects with one click. Grade C objects have a disassembly rate of 50%, Grade D objects have a disassembly rate of 80%, and Grade E and below objects have a perfect disassembly rate.]

The manta ray instantly transformed into a pile of flesh, bones, and miscellaneous internal organs, which fell into the fishing net.

Chen Qing held the fishing net with one hand and used a wooden rake to hook the fish meat up piece by piece.

This stingray was heavier than Chen Qing, so she didn't have to put in much effort to lift all the fish meat up.

The ship's planks were piled high with fish meat and entrails. Chen Qing glanced at them and then disappeared back into the water.

After a long while, she finally emerged from the water, clutching a large handful of nails.

Chen Qing was soaking wet, with water droplets dripping from his body onto the deck.

She didn't rest much; she sat down on the deck and started working.

The rope was unraveled into thin threads, which were then used to tie together the fishing net and the internal nails tightly.

The fishing net was covered with pieces of entrails of all sizes, which should attract other marine life.

Without hesitation, Chen Qing quickly threw the fishing net into the sea.

Only after doing all this could Chen Qing finally catch his breath.

However, he didn't really sit idle; instead, he continued to create handy weapons for himself.

With limited materials available, she could only reinforce the wooden planks with nails.

On the desolate, vast ocean, Chen Qing sat cross-legged on the deck, intently working on the task at hand.

After making the weapons, she still needed to process the fish and figure out how to start a fire...

Thinking of this, Chen Qing paused, but did not stop.

She reopened the chat channel, where most people were still complaining.

"Why do survival novels have crafting panels, but this crappy game doesn't?"

"Perhaps because this is reality?"

"No, is there nothing else in this broken sea besides planks, ropes, and grass?!"

"It's good enough that I have one. My fishing net is completely torn and unusable."

All the survivors initially received tattered fishing nets that would break after only a few uses.

Upon seeing this post, Chen Qing stared at it for a while, then put down his work and shared his experience in mending fishing nets.

It's not really about experience, it's just the methods she knows.

The rope can be broken into thin threads, which can be used to easily mend the fishing net.

At least enough to make it usable.

The creatures in the sea are quite large; all we need to do is catch them in a net.

"Holy crap, isn't that the super nice guy from just now?!"

"I didn't mean to insult you, I was genuinely praising you. You're such a kind person!!"

"Really? You can mend fishing nets this way?"

"Believe it or not, I've already taken this sister's advice and am getting it fixed."

"While the fools are still questioning, the smart ones have already taken action."

The chat channel, which was originally full of complaints, became a bit more cheerful because of Chen Qing's comments.

Chen Qing didn't linger in the chat channel; instead, he opened the trading panel.

Perhaps because the game has just started, there aren't many items on the trading panel; they're mostly planks, ropes, and leaves.

Even nails are rare.

After a moment's thought, Chen Qing posted an acquisition notice on the trading panel.

[Chen Qing: I'll trade deep blue manta ray meat and blood for various supplies, but I won't trade planks, ropes, leaves, or nails.]

She has a good temper, but she's not a sucker either.

The game only gave them four days to develop, and she had to use everything available to assemble herself.

The deep blue manta ray is her biggest bargaining chip, and she must maximize its benefits.

Chen Qing sorted and placed the fish bones, fish meat, and some remaining internal organs aside, while the fish blood was placed in a makeshift bowl made of rope and leaves.

As a G+ rated marine creature, the most valuable parts of the deep blue manta ray's body are its venom sacs containing toxins and lightning, as well as its electric sacs.
