Gu Xi's gaze lingered on the chat channel, watching the conversation between Li Tianhao and the survivors. The arguments and friction between the lines left her speechless.

Originally, she just thought Li Tianhao seemed a bit clueless about some things. However, his remarks today were truly eye-opening.

He waved the banner of freedom and shouted slogans of mutual assistance and choice, but beneath this glamorous exterior lay a disguised form of coercion and control.

His so-called free choice is actually a way of creating momentum to put psychological pressure on others and force them to join his ranks.

This behavior, while seemingly giving others the right to choose, actually manipulates their will invisibly.

His so-called freedom is nothing more than being built on the sacrifice of others, rather than respecting everyone's choices.

Gu Xi ignored this kind of person, then closed the chat channel and continued doing her work.

No amount of flattery or elaborate plans can compare to overwhelming personal strength. With dangers lurking ahead, she doesn't have the energy to focus on those matters.

The fusion materials needed for shipbuilding haven't been produced yet. She plans to replace the attribute trainer with some higher-quality materials first.

Gu Xi carefully selected materials from among the available options, based on the characteristics of the training device, and finally chose shark bone, shark king tooth, and UFO wood as the basic materials for the training device.

Shark King's Tooth is for attack, Shark Gold Bone is for defense, and UFO Wood is perfect for making speed training devices.

After a flurry of activity, the new training device was completed.

Attack trainer

Usage efficiency: 200%

Durability: 200

Note: There is a 20% chance of gaining an additional 1 attribute point.

Defense trainer

Usage efficiency: 200%

Durability: 200

Note: There is a 20% chance of gaining an additional 1 attribute point.

Speed ​​trainer

Usage efficiency: 180%

Durability: 200

Note: There is a 20% chance of gaining an additional 1 attribute point.

Gu Xi was very satisfied with the new training equipment.

Each training session yields 1 point of basic attribute, but with the current high bonus, the basic attribute she can gain daily can increase exponentially.

With the new training device, she can surpass Octopus and Shark King in basic attributes in a short time.

After completing the new equipment, Gu Xi went to the gazebo on the third floor. The spiritual flowers here could accelerate the training of spiritual power. She planned to raise her spiritual power to B-level within the next day or two.

Gu Xi was immersed in her mental training, and time flew by. When she woke up again, it was already 8 a.m. on the 41st.

After a night of training, her mental strength experience bar had increased significantly. Previously, she had to consciously concentrate during training, but now she no longer needs to train so deliberately to improve her mental strength.

Of course, the effectiveness of training will vary depending on the situation, but overall, her training speed has improved significantly.

Gu Xi stretched and then went upstairs. After cleaning herself up, she began her daily work.

Today's chests, like always, were full. The chests under the eternal night didn't contain food, but they did contain something new—currency.

Gu Xi was quite surprised when she saw the currency. Although it consisted of only some copper coins and a small number of silver coins, this information was extraordinary.

Because there were so many boxes, she didn't even notice if there were any new boxes, so she couldn't be sure which type of box contained the currency.

After keeping this in mind, Gu Xi began to wander around the boat. Just then, she saw an octopus happily running towards her.

In the blink of an eye, it darted to her feet, and then its tentacles wrapped around her, gently pulling her, trying to lead her in one direction.
